Portions were a bit small but the food was REALLY GOOD, and honestly made up for the size. The sauce of the braised pork was so delicious, especially with rice, that we had to order it twice! The Xiao long bao were also delicious and the service and atmosphere was great.

For those with a peanut allergy, do be aware that the pan fried pork buns have peanuts in them!

The waiter was very rude. My mother, who is over 80 years old, and I came to have Chinese food. My mother has difficulty walking. She walked into the restaurant step by step and was waiting to be seated. We were supposed to be next. Suddenly five diners came in, and one of them stood up in a swagger. In front of us, the waiter with the seats came over. I said that we had arrived first. She took the five people in without hesitation and said loudly that because there was a big table, there were places for small tables as well. Whoever arrives first will sit first. She didn't even apologize, it was so rude.

Really stunning. Although some dishes are limited by regional ingredients, they still try their best to replicate the taste of local Shanghai cuisine, which is quite good. Must recommend.

Came during lunch, the food is really good, authentic Shanghai dishes. Steam chicken scallion is very flavorful. Tofu skin in tofu skin mung beans is very soft. Fried shrimp is also good. Crab meet noodle you can taste the sea. 佛跳墙 is very nice, ingredients used are what you expected, taste great. Service is excellent, server checked in on us constantly, made sure we got everything, and add water to tea pot without us asking. Plenty of parking in parking lot

We went to this location before, but in a different restaurant name. The Bund 8 is Chinese cuisine specializing Shanghai style dishes.

All dishes are very authentic n tasty. We have 8 people, and we ordered 2 appetizers n 6 dishes. Food is plenty. We ordered their specialized steam chicken soup n sweet n sour fish: the top expensive dishes in the menu, but they are worth trying.

Go before 6, cuz they will be all busy after that.

My wife wanted to eat Shanghainese food, but the taste was not authentic after eating a few. A friend who is from Shanghai recommended this place. Good quality and cheap. Delicious. Good service. It is really good. Will come here often. The snacks are delicious.

Food is ok and there are many Shanghainese dishes. But I feel they put MASSIVE MSG in every plate which tastes weird

Nothing special, very ordinary Shanghainese food. The malantou has no taste, the grilled fish is good, the peppercorn beef is good, the shrimp fried in oil is okay, and the stir-fried shrimp has no taste. The dishes and environment of this value can only be considered passable.
