The 18 best Japanese spots in Shanghai

The Foie Gras Rossini Steak used to be less expensive than what it is now but I guess times are changing. But it's good that Haiku is still here although it's name has changed to Hana.

New name: Hana by Hatsune. I went there for a late lunch on Friday. I ordered a bowl of miso soup, smaller sashimi plate and a bowl of rice (one needs to order them separately). I think my total was RMB 293 (about USD 43.50). When compared to prices I pay in Berkeley, CA, USA this is not cheap, but I wanted to try. The cuts of fish were very fresh with great presentation. What won me over were two small dishes made out of cross-cuts of a cucumber filled what I think was salmon roe (visible at left/right ends of the sashimi plate in my photo). Good choice for a special meal.

By far my favorite Japanese restaurant in shanghai. Go for the rolls. If you are into sashimi this place is good but if you are into rolls there is no better place.

Great food

(Translated by Google) Magnificent city Shanghai. With a population of 23 million + 5, floating population. It is immense. Everything is big. The subway stations. The train one. The Airport. The pedestrian street that even has a train to travel through it is a succession of shopping centers, each one large and illuminated. The avenue that goes towards the boardwalk is impressive because of the number of people who get off on one sidewalk and go up on the other. There are guards on the road to prevent people from getting off. It is a little overwhelming but it is worth it for the spectacle that is seen at the side. get to the boardwalk (Original) Magnífica ciudad Shanghái. Con una población de 23 millones + 5, de población flotante. Es inmensa. Todo es a lo grande. Las estaciones de metro. La de tren. El Aeropuerto. La calle peatonal q tiene hasta un tren para recorrerla es una sucesión de centros comerciales a cual + grande e iluminado. La avenida q va hacia el malecón impresiona x la cantidad de gente se baja c una acera y se sube x la otra hay guardias en la calzada para impedir q la gente baje es un poco agobiante pero merece la pena x el espectáculo q se ve al llegar al malecón

Food is good, fresh. Really like otaro and miso cod. Service.....so so...... thought the price we’re paying, service would be out of ordinary....

Excellent service, top cuisine, outstanding view and location. $$$$$

Very good food. Pricey but as you might expect given the quality and service. Located at the second floor. Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) The restaurant has changed its name to Kyoky, which is still Japanese food. (Original) ร้านได้เปลี่ยนชื่อร้านแล้วเป็นร้านชื่อ kyoky ยังเป็นอาหารญี่ปุ่น

(Translated by Google) The store has now been renamed to kyoky. Additional Japanese Teppanyaki and river view services (Original) 门店现在改名了，叫kyoky。多了日式铁板烧和江景服务

(Translated by Google) Excellent food. Amazing crab and Kobe beef too (Original) Comida excelente. El cangrejo increíble y la carne de Kobe también

Nice area - wukang road, Ferguson land. Classy but reasonable price. Cocktail was good. Food was very tame. Slightly disappointing. Maybe it’s for foreigners. Service was amazing. Attentive. Speaks both mandarin and English.

Nice family restaurant and the Basil Drop was of course excellent. Entrance on the right of the building, take elevator to 2nd floor. Fried corn was a hit with the kids.

Great cocktails… their basil drop is very good, not so sure about the spicy one (with chili pepper); nice settings and atmosphere; the food could use some more spice

Fine Sichuan Cuisine in a beautiful setting. GoogleMaps adress is the old location and misleading. They moved to Ferguson Lane, 2/F No 378, Wu Kang Lu, Shanghai 200031 (7 years ago). AppleMaps got it right.

We tried the Basil Drop Cocktail! It was fabulous! Strongly recommend this place for dinner!

Good food and drinks, here, you're probably going to need a reservation. We came without one and the maitre'd was able to squeeze us in if we ate quickly. We did, because the food was excellent. We got a beef dish, chicken cashew dish, spicy green beans, and dumplings. The beef was probably the best, but all of it was excellent. The chicken cashew was surprisingly spicy. We also enjoyed the drinks. One of us got the basil drop martini, which is thicker and foamier than you might expect, but once you get past that, if you like basil you will really like this. They tend to go heavy on the alcohol too, so just be ready for that.

While I am not a fan of chilli my partner certainly is. We came 17km away from our hotel at the suggestion of a friend who was local. The atmosphere is similar to a 20's speakeasy with many modern touches. The staff are friendly and welcoming and remember you by name. The signature drinks are delicious, especially their Basil Drop. My favourite was Love It though. The food was absolutely delicious. While very spicy, it was lovely to enjoy Sichuan food which is known for its spice. I will definitely recommend this place to fellow travellers.

This restaurant gives a very trendy, relaxed upscale vibe. It has simple but nice set up. I went in the evening before it closed, so it wasn’t as crowded. The staff was friendly and spoke both English and Chinese. They recommended some dishes. The food was tasty and they had a different array of foods and mixes of things. The portion size isn’t too big, so if you are hungry and a eater prepare to order multiple platters. The price was alittle more expensive compared to other places. Was it worth it? I believe so if you want to try different more exquisite type of Spanish themed dishes. They had light music playing in background but wasn’t overbearing. Overall I give this place a 4/4.5 but it was a good time.

This restaurant is just way too cool, amazing vibes. Food are just insanely great, went with my new friends in Shanghai with not much expectations. However when the food was serve I was so intrigued with it, every single dish looks like a piece of art and taste insanely yummy. Desserts are the best, very impressed. Both chefs used to work in Gordon Ramsay restaurant and dessert chef used to work in Savoy Hotel too. Make sure you visit this place when you are in Shanghai.

This is one of my favorite western food restaurants in Shanghai. The concept is small plates/tapas style with some of the mains are bigger portions. Pricing is a bit on the high side given the portion size but this is consistent with most tapas places are My rating is based on the following: Food: 5 stars Atmosphere: 4.5 stars Service: 4 stars Value: 4 stars All the food I was good with some dishes exceptional. Suckling pig is probably my favorite protein. What I look for is crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The suckling pig here hits those criteria. The apple sauce was also a nice touch giving the dish a hint of sweetness. The other dish that I found exceptional was the beet salad. The dish was plated beautifully and the flavors were also on point. The sweetness of the beets was paired nicely with the umami flavor and richness of the cheese. The brunch here is also very good. Menu items are similar to dinner but served as a set lunch. If you haven’t been here it is well worth a visit.

I went to this restaurant cause I was craving for Spanish dishes, I have been a lot of times in Spain so I know how it should be. Unfortunately I did not find anything I wanted on the menu, no tapas, no tacos, no Spanish ham, nothing to remind me Spain.. I just had..... Burger, mini burger, and my wife lambs chops.... After this I just went to Taco Bell's cause I was still hungry. Sorry to review like that but please, if you call yourself Spanish restaurant, make real food from Spain, it was good, in starter we took Spanish breakfast and that was great, but I was expecting more local Spanish dishes.

Loved the tapas style plates and the atmosphere. Saw many wannabe influencers doing impromptu photo shoots

One of my favorites in Shanghai. Delicious, innovative, beautifully presented and love the busy ambiance and outdoor terrace seating. Always happy here :-)

Friendly server with good knowledge of the food that he recommended.

Historic buildings, creative food, good scenery, noisy restaurants and general service😮‍💨But you can go to the Peace Museum downstairs. The commentator Heidi is very nice. 👍

Wow,is the experience . Wow as in what a location. Wow as in the duck skin melts in your mouth. Wow as in where is the rest of it ,a small bowl of maybe 20 fried duck pieces arrived and that was it . Wow as in what a rip off 1000 rmb for 2. for dinner to eat duck skin ,I could have got that at kfc.

The star of the evening was undoubtedly the Pekin Duck. Crispy skin, and a perfect balance of seasoning elevated this dish to culinary perfection. It's safe to say it's the best Pekin Duck I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. However, while the food left an indelible mark, the service left much to be desired. Our waitress seemed less than thrilled to assist us, displaying impatience when we inquired about various menu options. Her subtle eye rolls and impatient attitude detracted from the overall dining experience. Make sure to reserve your Pekin duck a day in advance!

Super good Chinese food, the staff is the most efficient and kind I’ve experienced in Shanghai. Well done! Nice view of the bund, typical Chinese designed

The roasted pork is super delicious, regretted only order a small portion berofe it is sold out. So a must try if one is to go there.

Authentic Shanghainese cuisine served in a historical setting! There balcony overlooks the entire bund is amazing!

You can't fault the food. Service impecable. View's breathe taking. You pay what you get. It's pricey.

You must try hot pot when in Shanghai and China. Highly recommend Haidilao as the experience is quite amusing while eating very rich food. They take customer care at heart so be prepared to be spoiled with entertainment, signing, noodles show. The final extra? You can have a free manicure while at the restaurant. Enjoy! 🔥

Amazing team delivering awesome service! I went alone, so in order to not make me feel lonely, they put a plush friend on the opposite chair and even served him a drink. Very attentive service, most recommended, even for foreigners (though the menu is in Chinese, but with pictures).

Service is amazing, love how they handle the customer 👍👍👍, this lady is very caring b alao the guy in front

This restaurant is amazing. The staffs are all very attentive. They don't walk but run to you. When there is a wait, you are served with unending supply of snacks that includes fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, crackers. No problem if it is your first time or you don't know Chinese. They will ask someone who speaks English to guide and accompany you, recommend dishes and the various sauces. And they have lots of delicious sauces. Don't forget to order their specialty noodle where someone will perform the noodle pulling dance for you. They will attend to your drinks, hot towels. Really first rate. I will definitely come back or recommend others. One final note: I love that cute apron that they let you wear while dining.

Delicious hot pot with friendly services 👍👍👍😋😋😋

Have a best service restaurant that you cannot imagine about that. ‘Ma la tang’ is very nice 🌶🌶🔥🔥

Perfect?’!

(Translated by Google) It was pretty good. (Original) まあまあ良かったです。

JAPANESE RESTAURANT - 27th Floor - Four Points Hotel. Good value for the money. Reserve a table by the window. Service was outstanding for a restaurant in Shanghai. Dont forget dessert after your meal. No cocktails. Cash and non-Chinese credit card accepted. Plan on spending over $50/ person (Apr 2018).

(Translated by Google) All-you-can-eat Japanese food, the price per person is RMB 380. The quality of seafood sashimi is very good! Lobster will only serve one portion, but you can order all the others. The price is commensurate with the quality of the ingredients. The restaurant has many seats and a large area. The dining environment and services are also very good. Even if there are many seats, you still need to wait for a table during meal time, so it is recommended to reserve a seat in advance! (Original) 日本料理吃到飽，一位的價格是380人民幣。海鮮生魚片的quality很不錯！Lobster只會上一份，不過其他的都可以一直點。價錢跟食材的quality有相稱～～餐廳的位子很多、佔地也很大，用餐環境、服務等也都很到位。即便座位多，用餐時間也還是需要候位，建議先預訂座位！

Very good restaurant fantastico and really fresh seafood the 9nly problem the staffs not speak english

(Translated by Google) If you love Japanese cuisine this is the right place, excellent sushi and sashimi, all you can eat formula at 380 RMB which includes everything: sashimi galore with great variety.

Nice Japanese food

(Translated by Google) We stayed for 4 consecutive nights and had meals every morning. It was a Japanese, Western, and Chinese buffet style, but the food and service were not good enough. I especially got tired of Japanese food, as the menu was almost the same every day. (Original) 4連泊し､毎朝食をいただきました。和洋中のブッフェスタイルですが、料理、サービスともいまひとつでした。特に日本食は毎日ほとんどメニューが変わらず飽きてしまいました。

(Translated by Google) A Japanese restaurant located inside the Hotel Okura Hanazono Hanten. They serve strange Japanese food at a reasonable price that makes you wonder if it's really made by Japanese people. It's at the level of a set meal restaurant, so I wouldn't recommend it. As you'd expect from Hanazono Hanten, the staff are well-trained. If you want to eat at Hanazono Hanten, Sazanka on the top floor is probably your only choice. (Original) ホテルオークラ花園飯店の中にある日本料理店。 これ日本人が作ってる？と思うレベルのヘンテコ日本料理をまぁまぁの値段で食べさせる。 定食屋レベルなので、おすすめはしない。 スタッフの教育は、さすが花園飯店、きっちりしている。 やはり花園飯店で食事をするなら、最上階のさざんか一択か。

The mulberry shake was yummy. The chips were crispy. The burger was moist and tasty. There's not much to complain about the food. Finding seating was hard though, on a weekend with so many tourists in the area.

I came here mid Nov 2024 and went in to shake shack for lunch. Frankly it would be hard if you haven't try this restaurant before because their staffs are not really into English.. thank God I had a mandarin speaking colleague, phew! So no sweat.. we had a mouthwatering meal ordered. I ordered something based on pictures for the first time.. lol.. okok, it was white truffle mayo in a beef burger.. and the fries is fantastic.. forget about McD... this is next level.. their chocolate milkshake is nice, compared the usual are pretty thick with lots of ice but this is light..if you get what I meant.. lots of people there, so not an east task to grab a table though. They do offer vegetarian dish too and my colleague said it was delicious too. So if you're in Xin Tian Di, and can't spend too much, this is the right place. 😉

It's literally your standard shake shack except the quality of beef is a slightly worse (as with most beef in China) and the quality of veggies are slightly better (as with all produce in China). What some other reviewers say about a language barrier does not apply, because there are kiosks with English menus.

Good place, good food, good beer & good staff. If you miss western fast food or burger while you are in Shanghai, please come here. The burger & beer are much better than in Osaka, Japan

It's always full of people, i think because the burger itself is really special. It's worth it. The taste is unique and delicious. Not only the burger, but you have to try the fries and also the smoothies. The waiters are friendly and helpful. Would love to come back again to enjoy the burger and xintiandi!

Great taste, fast service and clean restaurant!

They offer some unique milk shake flavor. This one is mulberry topped with osmanthus flower bud. Updated: I revisited this location recently. This time I ordered the signature double patty burger for a late afternoon meal.

(Translated by Google) It's delicious. The production is also interesting. It's a little expensive, but maybe it's worth going? (Original) 美味しいです。 演出も面白い。 少し高いですが、行く価値は有りかも？

Moved to 3F Hubindao Shopping Centre in Xindianti, 150 Hubin Rd. Huangpu District

(Translated by Google) A long time ago, Shirokiya? It seems like something happened. I remember that around 2010 there was a small Japanese restaurant there. I think this is the Japanese restaurant on Donghu Road that appears in Weihui's "Shanghai Baby." As you can see in the photo, this place hasn't had any tenants for a long time, so I'm looking forward to seeing how things have changed the next time I go. (Original) 昔、白木屋？か何かがあったようです。その後2010年頃にはこじんまりとした和食屋があったと記憶しています。衛慧の「上海ベイビー」に出てくる東湖路の和食レストランはこのことだと思います。写真の通り、ここはずっとテナントが入っていない状態で、次行った時どう変わっているか楽しみ。

(Translated by Google) Slightly expensive buffet of Japanese food~ Just average, not worth going back, not as affordable as Shiroki Izakaya. (Original) 稍贵的日料自助~ 一般般，不值得再去，没有白木居酒屋实惠。

Sun, the manager in charge, gave us the most memorable experience❣️ Needless to say, the food was excellent. The view from the 91st floor is absolutely stunning. Ask for private seating to enjoy a little more atmosphere along with the view. Naturally, a place like this—located in the Park Hyatt Shanghai, offering top-quality ingredients with unbelievable freshness—comes at a price.

This place is split into 2 sides - Cantonese Cuisine side and the steakhouse side. The steakhouse side looks towards the bund. Service is great. Food is great too. Definitely a decent place for celebrations.

This place is located at 90sth floor on at the Hyatt. The ambient is like any other roof top bar restaurant. I would come here for a beautiful night view to celebrate birthdays etc. Food here taste normal let's face it your here for the view not the food. Drinks are nice though. The price to value for here you pay what you get for, a premium price for the nice view. Overall I would rate this place with the following: Location: 8/10 Ambient: 8/10 Taste: 6/10 Service: 10/10 Price: 6/10

Meh overall. 5-star views and an extensive western wine list. Food and service are solidly average, but the price of the food, at 800 RMB for the set menu, is absurdly high given the average quality. The ambiance is also rather weird, with loud pop-esque music playing throughout the restaurant, and cold drafts everywhere; definitely not what'd you expect for something at this price point. If you do go, be prepared for overpriced dinner but with stunning views of the city. Call ahead and make a reservation for a window table -- the experience is definitely not worth it if you're not sitting at a window. Also, avoid the Chinese wine... seemed like a fun thing to try being in China, but there's a reason there are only 2-3 Chinese wines on the list. Definitely not worth the ~600RMB bottle.

The food and service are average, but the view is definitely worth the price of admission. The overall ambiance is somewhat casual however but the space is still really nice after years.

Really good food with incredible views. This was one of the highlights of our visit to Shanghai, and I would say it's a must if the weather is clear. Take your photos of the city early as a lot of the lights were turned off around 10pm when we visited in the spring of 2016.

Let me be out with it: the view is amazing and hard to beat (perhaps the new Shanghai Tower can best it). But, in addition to that, you'll find a great mix of Chinese and American fare. Prices are probably a bit high for the service but memories of that will melt away because the experience is out of this world.

Pretty decent Korean BBQ restaurant. Other than the tasty meals, the vegetable for wrapping quite fresh. Always packed lunch and dinner time.

Good Korean BBQ. They've done a good job standardizing the quality and experience at each chain store. Can get pricey.

Korean barbecue,

Repect the place we are visiting, follow codes. Sure a pleasant experience.

Authentic Korean BBQ at reasonable price
