Bund Shanghai offers a lively taste of Shanghai right in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown. Be prepared for a classic Chinese restaurant atmosphere – think lots of chatter, happy families, and a constant flow of people. If you happen to be visiting during a Chinatown night market event, expect a wait – this place gets popular!
Contrary to the belief that people have regarding service at a Chinese restaurant, we had a pleasant experience. Our server was attentive and friendly. The service was fast despite how busy the restaurant was.
Speaking of the menu, be aware that Shanghainese cuisine tends to run a bit sweeter than Cantonese food. This was true for most of our dishes:
Xiao Long Bao: These delicate soup dumplings were a highlight. The broth was flavorful, and the pork was juicy, but the dough/wrapper was thick.
Spicy Wontons: These weren't spicy at all, but they did pack a little kick. The pork filling was well-seasoned.
Fried Small Yellow Fish in Rice Wine Sauce: This dish was a fun, crispy adventure. The tiny fish were cooked whole and had a slightly sweet glaze. It is a good choice for those who enjoy a bit of a fishy flavor.
Yang Zhou Fried Rice: This classic dish was surprisingly good and not as oily as we were expecting. It was a good portion size to share between 3 of us.
Lion's Head Pork Meatball in Soy Sauce: This hefty dish was a bit on the sweet side, but the pork meatball itself was melt-in-your-mouth tender and light.
Hot and sour soup: The soup was sweet and not what we were expecting. It was okay overall.
The place makes me feel like I’m back home in Shanghai and maybe better ????
As someone who used to live near Guyi Garden in Shanghai, I can say the soup dumplings are exactly how I like them. The dough isn’t too skin or too soft and has a delightful little chewiness. The pork and crab filling is tender, juicy, and not greasy. There can be a bit more crab yolk but i didn’t expect much across the ocean.
I adore the small yellow fish in rice wine sauce. It has become a rare find even in Shanghai comparing with the more common smoked fish. The balance of rice wine and sweet flavor is just right.
Pea shoots are perfectly cooked.
Pork belly with tofu skin knots tastes good too. Not too salty.
Love the atmosphere. So glad to hear Shanghainese!! The aunties are very friendly and welcoming. The food isn’t cheap but it definitely worth it.
Hope I have time to visit again for other dishes I crave before leaving for England…
We found this place on Google and so glad we did . The food was delicious and the ladies working there were so nice .
Portions are sharable and at a great price
Crispy fish is a nostalgic dish for me so when I entered Chinatown, my mission was to find authentic Chinese cuisine that included pine nut croaker. Bund Shanghai is so authentic with a wide variety of traditional menu items. The pine nut croaker nailed the flavors I was longing for. Along with that, we had the Xiao Long Bao which came so hot and steamy, with the perfect dipping pairing. We did enjoy it with extra chili paste. You have to try the braised pork belly with tofu skin knots. Such a tasty and fun play with flavors and textures. Plenty of sauce as well. We also had the Zha Jiang noodles which I enjoyed but prefer it to be spicier. I have to commend the customer service, our waitress was so welcoming and playful, making us feel like we were having a home cooked meal by our auntie. She was so sweet and made our dinner experience one to remember. Can’t wait to come back soon!
I'll put the gem title on this one. Everything we had was very tasty. The large hot and sour soup prob serves 10 people so in our group of 3 as someone who loves hot and sour soup I was very pleased (it's good). Moo shu pork dish was very tasty. Service was very good and very friendly. Highly recommend.
Very very good Shanghai restaurant. Very authentic. I am from China and have been to a lot of restaurant over years, and I definitely recommend this one if you wanna try some authentic Shanghai food!! It is not heavy flavored but definitely amazing! Also the people who served us were very nice and definitely alike people in China. I mean seriously. Very clean environment and just really nice.
Excellent service and food. This place lived up to exactly what I was hoping for in China Town. Great flavors and good prices. Hot and sour soup, soup dumplings, pot stickers, General Tso's chicken and Mongolian Beef. All excellent!
A no-frills Chinese eatery in the heart of Chinatown SF. I came here for a Sunday lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and relaxing. The menu was relatively easy to follow for a non-chinese person. The staff was not very interactive but they were polite. I ordered three different Dim Sum options and loved it. This is definitely a place I would consider visiting multiple times.
