Lonely Planet review

This is Shanghai in a nutshell: brash, bustling and just a little tacky. The owner is the son of a New York Times food critic and the dishes mix Western and Asian influences with Shanghainese cooking to surprising and succulent effect. The seafood dishes are particularly good - a steamed Yangtze sole, a gingery-sweet smoked fish - as are the pine-seed pork ribs in a soy, Worcester and red wine sauce and crispy duck with sticky rice stuffing.

There are branches in the Bund Center (6339 1977; 222 East Yan'an Rd) and Pǔdōng (5836 7977; 8th fl, Times Square, 500 Zhangyang Rd).
