Upon arriving at the picturesque setting, we were astonished at how JB House had managed to find a spacious venue on such a charming street. We were immediately whisked away to a window-side table that gave us a full view of the greenery that enveloped the restaurant’s exterior. The interior, though not as impressive as the colorful outdoors, was appealing enough, with enormous windows and a simple, unfussy décor. The menu, teeming with seafood dishes and other delicacies, included traditional Chinese eats as well as some attempts at Western and fusion. We tried the xiao long bao and shen jian bao, RMB28 and RMB32 respectively, and found that the Shanghainese staples were juicy and stuffed with crabmeat. The ham and bean curd cake, at RMB68, was instead a slice of cooked ham and deep-fried bean curd inside a dough pocket, which was actually far tastier than the name suggests but too little and too simple for such a steep price. The black pepper beef was tender and flavorful, but overpriced at RMB64. Overall, JB House provided a pleasant dining experience with its tasty dishes and calm atmosphere, but is clearly targeted towards those who have no problem lightening up the wallet.
