Lonely Planet review

This is Shanghainese home cooking at its best: crab dumplings, Grandma's braised pork and plenty of fish, eel and jellyfish. Start with the wine-preserved shrimps or the carp cream soup. Main dishes range from the cheap (chicken and celery in black pepper), to the more expensive, like the yellow fish in brown sauce or the crab with ginger and onion. It's easy to miss this place; the sign outside says 'Jesse's', rather than Jíshì. English menu.

There's also a branch in Xīntiāndì (63364746; No 9, North Block, Xīntiāndì, Taicang Rd), as well as one called Xinjíshì in Pǔdōng (6841 9719; 2nd fl, China Insurance Building, 166 East Lujiazui Rd).
