Lonely Planet review for 1221

No one has a bad thing to say about this smart expat favourite and rightly so, as it has never let its standards dip over the years. Meat dishes start at Y42 for the beef and dough strips (yóutiáo), and the plentiful eel, shrimp and squid dishes are around twice that. Other tempting fare includes the roast duck (Y108) and braised pork (Y68). The pan-fried sticky rice and sweet bean paste (from the dim-sum menu) makes a good dessert. It’s also worth ordering the eight-fragrance tea just to watch it served spectacularly out of 60cm-long spouts. Reserve.

    Good Chinese/Shanghainese food and service

    miachristina recommends this,

    1221 has a wide variety of dishes from both Shanghai and other parts of China. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, their food is not too oily. They have a good selection of wines, and dinner always comes with a free dessert of banana "pancakes" made out of rice. Their service is fantastic.
