The Bund 8 外滩8号

Haven't been back here since it's been sold from two owners ago. The switch to Shanghai cuisine is nice! I like the way the 馬蘭頭 (Indian Aster) was finely chopped. It's the smallest I've seen anywhere! The 油爆蝦 was cut down the middle to better let the oils get all the way in, making the skin really crisp! Their 外灘香酥鴨 ("Outer Beach" Crisp-Fried duck) was really good. It looked like it would have been dried out, but the juices stayed inside, and still maintained a crispy skin. The 蔥烤立魚 (Scallion-grilled Snapper) was alright, it featured a sweet-soy sort of taste, that smothered the entire fish with. The 紅燒肉 (Red-braised Pork) is pretty standard, but still good! Just make sure to be ready for the Heart attack! Then we topped it off with the 白果污泥甜湯 (Gingko + Tarot Puree Dessert Soup). Parking: Shared with the Tasty Choice. Be careful of parking at the back. Not sure if it belongs to a Chinese church or not.

We’ve always been big fans of this place, but our last visit was a letdown. Found a hair in our food and when we pointed it out, expecting a quick fix, things just went south. The manager, I think, said it might’ve fallen in after the dish was done and kinda hinted we were making it up over a $20 dish. Really? He took the dish back, muttering away, and the vibe just felt off. We used to love coming here, but this experience was just disappointing. Won’t come again.

旁边的美味屋是华人社区中的糟粕垃圾，极不诚信的华人之耻！这家就好很多！

作为一个上海人，认为这家店相当不错。

Good food with fair prices

Had Chinese New Year's celebration dinner last night with family. Good food good times, but discovered that I lost my wallet. Called this morning, a customer turned it in. Credit cards and cash intact. They have quality customers and honest staff.

The food was just OK, the atmosphere was noisy with screaming kids and loud conversations. The prices were inexpensive.
