Frommer's Review

Formerly attractive because of its romantic colonial Shanghai setting, this small restaurant has recently undergone a renovation in favor of a more traditional Western look (flower wallpaper, thick drapes, upholstered chairs). Happily, traces of old Shanghai remain -- wall posters of the 1930s, tiny intimate tables, and waitresses clothed in traditional qipao dresses (high collar, side slits) -- making this a still-pleasant spot to drop in for a Shanghai lunch, a light dinner, or late-night drinks. Popular menu items include lamb or duck scallion pancakes, Shanghai fried noodles, and Yu Yuan fried dumplings, though the dishes are mostly just average. For tipplers, there's a full bar with a range of reasonably priced liquors, as well as coffees, teas, and fresh juices.

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.
