Ck Shanghai

Originally found this place when it was mentioned in Boston magazine as a spot a famous chef liked to go on their night off. It's outstanding. To start with the food, you can have very tasty, fresh stir fries or get adventurous with weekend dim sum. Great soups and appetizers - our favorite is Vegetarian Goose, actually tofu skin and mushrooms.They have a liquor license and a neat little bar area, though it's not a drinking scene. The dining room is pretty and neatly kept, and tablecloths come out for the dinner service. The nice wait staff has been in place for years. Dishes are served promptly, always hot and fresh. They have a vigorous take out business but it doesn't interfere with table service at all. The photo shows Give Spice Beef Noodle Soup, which seemed a good idea for lunch on a cold and drizzly Saturday.

There are a lot of Chinese restaurants out there, but it's tough to find one with good food. The food @ CK is exceptional; always fresh, always hot & good portions. The room is comfy with plenty of natural light. I have lunch here a couple times a month. Service is normally excellent. Today's wait staff was 50/50. The woman was friendly but the guy was surly.

I celebrated my graduation earlier this evening in this excellent restaurant. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a superb evening and the venue was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the strong celebration. The waiters helped in a lovely manner, the cuisine was tasty and my buddies were very happy. We shall no dout return for more events. Thank you very much.
