When in Rome, do as the Romans do! In Asia, why not sample the local Asian cuisine? From Delicious local Shanghai food to broader Chinese food, to nearby Japanese, Thai and Korean cuisines, Shanghai has a great range of Asian delicacies to please any international palate.
For Northern Chinese cuisine, Dongbei Ren is the best pace in town. This is also an ideal place for a large group as they have separate rooms for large parties and delicious foods to please the whole groupe.
Di Shu Dong represents Yunan food, spicy, local and light-- there is always a wait at this low-key joint. Especially delicious are the vegetable dishes, and the $2 beers that accompany a hearty spicy meal oh so perfectly.
For a slight step up, Crystal Jade is a beautiful setting for Asian food where you'll have your choice of noodles, barbecued meats, dumplings and other Asian favorites.
Mei Long Zhen represents the typical Chinese meal, from the staple to vegetable and meat dishes, its like eating at a local family's home.
For vegetarians, the Gongdelin Restaurant is a surprisingly popular option. The buffet is massive, and you'll find yourself thinking going without meat is a delicious option.
For sushi, Oyama is a great place for authentic Japanese. You'll also find Japanese cuisine at Sumo Sushi, a more affordable sushi option for those on a shoestring.
Excellent Thai can be found at Baan Thai, where you'll get the noodle dishes you love with vegetarian sides and delicious sauces and drinks.
