"This down-home restaurant in a tiny French concession cottage is one of my favorites for unrepentantly old-fashioned and delicious Shanghainese comfort food."

Rough Guide
"The decor is a bit tatty at the tiny, original branch on Tianping Lu, but there’s nothing wrong with the tasty homestyle cooking, with dishes from all over the country."
Condé Nast Traveler
"Boasting specialty items like their raw river shrimp doused in wine, crab roe tofu, and braised pork belly garnished with bits of cuttlefish."

"The original—despite being a bit run down and perpetually crowded—still serves the best braised fish head, xiefen potato soup and Shaoxing wine-marinated crab. "

"1221 serves up a Canton-influenced and less oily version of Shanghainese dishes including a refreshing pork and papaya soup, or a spicy boiled beef with warm sesame loaf."
Rough Guide
"A little out of the way, a 10min walk east of Yan’an Lu subway stop (though bus #71 stops right outside), this is foreigner-friendly Shanghai cuisine."
