About Us
Our Story
Best Shanghai Restaurants was born from a simple frustration: finding truly great Shanghai cuisine outside of China is hard. The internet is full of outdated lists, paid placements, and reviews from people who have never tasted real xiaolongbao.
We are a team of food writers, chefs, and obsessive eaters who have spent years exploring Shanghai''s dining scene. From the narrow lanes of the Old City to the glimmering towers of Lujiazui, we have eaten our way through thousands of meals to bring you honest, informed recommendations.
Our mission is simple: help you discover the best Shanghai restaurants wherever you are. Whether you are in Shanghai itself or searching for authentic Shanghainese food in New York, London, or Sydney, our guides are built on real experience and a deep love for this extraordinary cuisine.
We dine anonymously, pay for our own meals, and revisit restaurants regularly. No free meals, no sponsored placements, no compromises.
Our Commitment
Every recommendation is backed by first-hand experience. No shortcuts, no compromises.
