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.

About Our System

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.
