Frommer's Review

If you only get to try one Shanghainese meal, let it be at this cavernous and brash red-themed restaurant in the basement of the Bund Center where old Shanghai favorites are given a modern makeover. Menu favorites include the unbelievably tender pine seed pork rip, Shanghai traditional smoked fish, Uncle's crispy pork of flame (cooked five ways while preserving its crispy skin and tender flesh), and the fusion-influenced cheese baked lobster with homemade noodles. The inspired dry scallop and dry shrimps on Peking pancakes with XO sauce take even the most jaded Chinese diners by wonderful surprise. Mezzanine booths offer the best viewing spots.
