Yongfoo Elite

This Michelin-starred restaurant serves elevated traditional Ningbo cuisine (think lots of yummy stir-frying, deep frying, simmering, and steaming techniques). Some of their most famous dishes include Salted Qiang, or crab, which is pickled and then stir fried. Their wild tidal shrimp are also delicious. For first timers, Shanghai food can sound “weird” with unexpected and unfamiliar menu items. This is a great place to get out of your comfort zone and take a culinary risk—I can almost promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
