I was in Shanghai for the first time and crossed paths with a former coworker that happened to be there for business. We went to lost heaven for dinner as it was recommended by some of her colleagues. We had reservations so there was no wait. We checked in at the reception area and headed upstairs where we were promptly... More

The whole design is amazing! The lightning makes the atmosphere really interesting. And that`s it. The place is quite busy in the evenings. We went there with a group of 6. We ordered food and we waited for it 1 hour (I can understand it if you will be informed that you may wait becasue it is busy or whaterver)... More

Quietly glam but not pretentious - not cheap but not crippling (and in any case half the price I'd be paying at home) - great cocktail menu, great food - fantastic couch/beds to recline and sip Singapore Slings. Awesome.

I have visited this place a few times and go back as the food is just SO good. The restaurant decor really adds to the mood of the place and you feel like you are in Thailand - the staff are dressed in traditional dress too. The place has a very relaxed atmosphere yet the service is outstanding and engl;ish... More

I took friends visiting Shanghai here upon a friends recommendation. Great ambience, maybe a tad too dark. Every dish ordered was delicious. Service staff very attentive and helpful with giving suggestions, especially with the level of spice as my guests cannot eat much spicy food. Prices are competitive especially for the Bund area. Can't wait to go again!

What a wonderful experience. From the rooftop bar to the elegant dining room, fabulous menu and impeccable service, this is a must-visit restaurant if you are in Shanghai. Be sure to order the pumpkin cakes for dessert!

Unique menu and presentation, loved the look of this place. Portions are really small; best for sampling or 3 people max. Spiciness not overpowering but approaches Hunan-style concentration.
