This Shanghai restaurant with a rustic ambiance has been serving delicious goodness for 7 decades now. Since I've been to Din Tai Feng a bunch of times and they have one near my place in Tokyo, I wanted to try something I wouldn't normally be able to.
With all the same good stuff you can expect like Xiao Long Bao and Fried Rice with Pork Cutlet, I was able to enjoy food worthy of Taiwan at a lower price.
I personally enjoyed the Xiao Long Bao and found the quality similar to Din Tai Feng. However, the Pork Cutlet, another of my must-order whenever I am at Din Tai Feng, was a little less crispy compared to the ones that I'm used to.
Qin Yuan Chun is all about the heritage and of course, great food. Don't expect high-end service like the more established Din Tai Feng, but the food is up to par, if not better in my opinion.
