The curried oysters, duck pancakes, and spicy miso black cod are classics. A trip here always brings a real sense of nostalgia, as this was one of the first foodie destinations in California. Read more

Lobster spring rolls and the salmon are the highlights. The beef is great too, paired with a duck rice.

The food is outstanding. The chicken salad, the barbecued ribs and the salmon were all delicious. However, the restaurant was too noisy on a Saturday night.

Shanghai Lobster lived up to expectations. Wouldn't come here often, but it's a fun place for a group of 6-8 and a special occasion.

Wolfgang Puck's famous spot offers 80's-inspired decor and a thoughtfully edited menu. The Shanghai Lobster is notorious. For a more calorie-friendly option, try half of the Chinese Chicken Salad.
