"Shanghai is a coastal municipality, so seafood is a must at this cozy suburban destination — especially fish, be it smoked as an appetizer or fried with pine nuts, but also eel, crab, and squid dishes (guests who express interest in the kitchen’s inner workings may be in store for an off-menu surprise or two). Beyond the ocean’s bounty, consider the green tea–smoked duck as the centerpiece for a family-style feast." - Ruth Tobias
