The Shanghai flagship of this celebrated Taizhou-cuisine group is arguably the finest regional Chinese restaurant in the city, known for pristine seafood and deeply refined Zhejiang-Jiangsu flavors. The yellow croaker soup, braised pork, and seasonal crab dishes are exceptional. Reservations are hard to come by and the bill can surprise even seasoned diners, but the quality justifies every yuan.
