Lake Spring Shanghai
Hours: Lunch and dinner served daily. Readers' rating:  Reader reviews: Write a review | Read other reviews Everyone I've ever taken to Lake Spring Shanghai in Monterey Park has gone back
on their
own. That's saying something when there are hundreds of Chinese restaurants
competing for
attention. This small restaurant features the cooking of Shanghai, with wonderful
Shanghai-style dumplings, sheets of tofu braised to resemble goose, and a slew of
other
appetizers. The pièce de résistance is pork "pump" -- a pork leg cooked slowly in
Chinese
plum sauce until it's so tender the waiter can cut through it with a spoon.

David D. Murray aka Wang Daofa Newport Beach, CA I have been to the Lake Spring Shanghai restaurant twice. I am going back on Wednesday with a friend from Beijing. When I want real Shanghai food,. I will always go back to Lake Spring, because the food is very good and I find no complaint with the service. I think the negative reviews below are people with "an ax to grind". I have no "ax to grind". You will be happy with the food at Lake Spring and if you smile and are friendly to the staff, you can expect them to treat you the same way. June 28, 2008
Lucia Alhambra, Ca I never eat such a terriable food before, and the service is even wrost than the triditional Chinese service. If I have another chance, I won't step in this restaurant in the rest of my life. Really regard that i went there once! December 30, 2007
