Shanghai Uncle!

One of the more sophisticated Shanghai cuisine restaurants with excellent food served in understated but impressive settings. A great way for a first introduction to Shanghainese cuisine. The spareribs are an absolute must-have, delicious fresh fish and eel dishes!

5 or 6 locations opened all over the city and in Pu-Dong. Our fav is in Shanghai Times Square.

Shanghai Uncle

Here you'll get a meal you won't forget. Among appetizers, a must-have dish is the Shanghai style smoked fish. Not really smoked, xun yu is dry-cooked in a complex blend of soy and spices that evokes the smoked flavor. Shanghai style xun yu is a local classic, and the version served here is fantastic -- currently the best in town by a length. If you're feeling the need for crunch, the Uncle's crispy eel will deliver. Small, fresh, slender, impeccably boned river eels are quick-fried to the peak of cui, crispiness, then given a refreshingly scant drizzle of sweet and sour sauce. Another triumph is "Eight Treasure with sticky rice cake". Chewy rice cakes are cooked in an addictive piquant sauce with pine nuts, fine-cubed pork, diced mushrooms, and other goodies, then topped with a mound of crystal-fresh shrimp. Bravo. Shanghai Uncle, 211 Tianyaoqiao Lu, by Nandan Lu (6464-6430). English menu.
