Frommer's Review
Bring a big appetite to this cavernous and brash red-themed restaurant in the basement of the Bund Center where old Shanghai favorites are given a delightful modern makeover. Menu favorites include the unbelievably tender pine seed pork rib, Shanghai traditional smoked fish, Uncle's crispy pork of flame (cooked 5 ways while preserving its crispy skin and tender flesh), and the fusion-influenced cheese-baked lobster with homemade noodles. The tin-foil-wrapped salt-baked live fish is refreshingly light while the dry scallop and dry shrimps on Peking pancakes with XO sauce is a wonderful surprise. Mezzanine booths offer the best viewing spots.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
