bund Shanghai Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown that serves Shanghainese cuisine and opened in 2009. It is named after one of the touristy but must visit areas of Shanghai next to the Huangpu river. Most of the restaurants in Chinatown serve Cantonese cuisine in contrast to this place. We stopped by for a quick snack in 2009, then returned for lunch in August 2010.
Decor, Vibe – bund Shanghai Restaurant has a clean, well lite interior with a flat panel TV running. Mostly Asian diners of all ages, families, locals, and a couple tourists. It was more barren in 2010 with Great Eastern across the street having long lines for dim sum.

Shanghai Dim Sum items
Picks:
Pan Fried Pork Buns ($5.95) was very good, better than ones from most places. Nice crunchy fried crust, nice meat inside. In 2010 the quality faded to just ok.
Pan Fried Mantou Buns ($3.50) with sweetened condensed milk was good. Cooked just right and slightly crunchy. In 2010 the quality faded to just ok.
Green Onion Pancake ($3.95) was thick and very flavorful. A very good version of this classic dish. In 2010 the quality faded to just ok and very greasy.
OK:
Xiao Long Bao Soup Dumplings ($6.95) came with many with ZERO soup. Very sloppy but decent flavor.
Pans:
Boiled Chive & Pork Dumplings ($6.50 for 10) were falling apart, terrible, and just a mess.
bund Shanghai Restaurant took about 15 minutes to get our food, service was ok. The food was fair in 2010, making wonder. A dilemna would be to select this against the nice Cantonese food in Chinatown like R&G Lounge and Great Eastern across the street or perhaps Z&Y for spicy Szechuan. So many choices!
If you are in the mood for Shanghainese food in Chinatown, look elsewhere like Sunny Shanghai in San Bruno.
