This stylish eatery serves up a modern version of sultry, pre-revolutionary Shanghai, complete with an Art Deco-inspired ambiance. The clean flavors and light-handed preparation of contemporary Shanghainese fare provide a welcome contrast to the heavy decor. This eatery successfully combines competent cuisine, plush quarters, and efficient service at non-signature prices.

This place has a great Dim Sum brunch on Saturdays and Sundays before 3pm. It's all-you-can-eat delicious Shanghai and Hong Kong style Dim Sum for about RMB70, great deal and really good food. Perfect for grabbing some friends after a long night out

We dropped by one Sunday morning and were greeted by an all-you-can-eat dim sum brunch for YY68. As many roast pork buns and steamed shrimp dumplings as you can handle.

ok, I have been to the resturant for a few month now, and each was a pleasant visit.
But lately, the food kind of slide, and the service was less attentive.
Today, I walked out of the place, after sitting in my place for 5-6 mins. I signaled for service, answered by 2 waiters, but non appeared. There were only 2 table during early lunch!!!

Yum. Shanghai Dim Sum brunch on the weekend is excellent and at a great price. Something like RMB 60 or 70 per person. Nice upscale place to meet up with friends and start the weekend on an upswing!

My wife and I have been to Lynn 4 times and each time we have gone it has been fantastic. Food is delicious, prices are reasonable, service is great, wine selection is decent, and the atmosphere is an added bonus. We even took the rents while they were visiting us a few weeks back and it was their favorite place during their 2 week stay.

I felt like a billion bucks dining at this place. A swanky establishment with knock-your-socks-off Hong Kong and Shanghai dim sum - infinitely better than the greasy stuff I'm served off metal carts back home. The relatively unhealthy items are at worst shallow fried and not dripping with or swimming in oil. Dishes were sophisticatedly presented and exuded countless layers of flavors that a non-foodie like me can't even begin to describe. It was fantastic. But hey, I'm very easily pleased.

I've always been a big fan of Lynn since I first discovered it 6 months ago. The decor and the food have always been great. BUT that changed after my last visit when I ordered a 880 rmb steamed fish, only to find a 5cm long thick+curly hair in it. And the floor managers response being 'oh its JUST a small small (xiaoxiao) hair' and suggeting to give us 3% off of the dish price and a mango desert for each of us at the table! The service is what makes several of my friends and myself to think once again about going back. The service definately does not meet up to the standard of the food/decor of the restaurant and the type of guests who decides dine there. The attitude of the staff, especially of the senior ones, are equivalent to that of the floor staff in our ubiqituos cheap noodle shops around this city. Definately not suggested if you are looking for a comprehensive dining experience, since Lynn still has a long way to go to satisfy anyone in terms of their staff attitude and quality of service.

We went to this restaurant for the Sunday Dim Sum brunch. It was our first visit to the restaurant. Decor/atmosphere was nice. Dim Sum was good and price was great. Service was horrible. The wait between our each dim sum dish was extremely long (20-30 minutes) and many of the other tables were getting served much quicker. The staff were inattentive to us, not friendly or pleasant. Would not go back.


Tastes as good as it looks First-timers to the city look forward to finding traces of the Shanghai of yore–smoky jazz, and a rich East-West sensibility. Lynn seems to take inspiration from this decadent dynamic. In contrast to the Art Deco-detailed ambience is the light-handed preparation and clean flavors that characterize their take on modern Shanghai fare. Lynn does away with the heavy, oily sweetness and puts the ingredients c e n t e r s t a g e . Beancurd skin roll wi th veget ables (¥18) was a classic done superbly: tasty, crispy but not greasy. Sautéed minced chicken with pine nuts with flaky sesame pockets (¥38) was a subtlyflavored dish with good texture. The real star of our meal was stir-fried fish slices in wine sauce (¥36), flavorful and cooked just the right length of time. At nonsignature prices. Lynn is already on i t s wa y t o becoming a swingin' city staple. - Andrea Y. See
