One of the biggest tea cafe chains in Shanghai. There's is also another chain by the same Chinese name by you can tell them apart from the English (the other one is called Be For Time). The "BiFengTang" 避风塘 seems to be the original one. One is on Nanjing Rd and corner of TongRen Rd, and the other is on ChangShu Rd before hitting ChangLe Rd. You can pretty much order most of the popular dim sum items, along with fried rice and noodles. Their sweet pork buns are very good (they also sell packaged frozen dim sum items in supermarkets). The one on Nanjing Rd has a nice sidewalk seating with window shields.

I went to Lynn once for their weekend dimsum buffet, cuz I needed a break from those western brunches. The place is nicely decorated with modern Chinese elements. We ordered the $68 per person all you can order dimsum. However, I was not happy about having to order tea by the glass --- the leaves floating on top made it very hard to drink the tea --- a personal size french press or teapot is called for if they are charging the tea separately. The dimsum menu has the usual fares so we order pretty much one of each. The dishes were slow to arrive (I guess it's a strategy for all-you-can-order style pricing) and overall food tastes just so-so. Maybe their individual dishes taste better, as one of my guests really liked it there. The service can use some improvement too, as we saw the well-dressed staff running in and out empty-handed and not giving the customers eye contacts.
