The Bund 8 外滩8号 — Restaurant in San Gabriel

No. 8 on the Bund restaurant in San Gabriel beautifully captures the essence of its Shanghai namesake. While it may lack the stunning Bund view, it more than compensates with its impressive array of authentic Shanghainese cuisine. I was particularly enamored with their grilled whole fish in scallion and Shanghainese sauce—a dish that truly transported me back to the flavors of Shanghai. Equally delightful was the noodle in scallion oil, boasting a remarkable authenticity and flavor.

One of the standout features of this restaurant is its exceptional value. With lunch offerings priced at under $12, you can savor your favorite dishes without breaking the bank.

Shanghai cuisine isn't something I frequently indulge in, so I won't pretend to be an expert on its authenticity. However, what I can confidently declare is that the food here was absolutely delicious!

Peanut & Port Feet Soup. This dish was a revelation! The soup was incredibly flavorful and had a unique nutty richness that was both comforting and satisfying. The addition of port feet added a delightful texture and depth to the soup, making it a must-try.

The Stir-Fried Pork Kidneys and Liver were equally impressive. The dish was skillfully prepared, and the flavors were well-balanced. The pork kidneys and liver were cooked to perfection – tender and succulent, without a hint of overcooking. The seasoning was spot on, making every bite a delightful experience. Pair it with some steamed rice, and you're in for a treat!

The eels were tender, and the bamboo shoots added a nice crunch, creating a harmonious dish that paired wonderfully with rice. The ambiance at The Bund 8 was cozy and inviting, creating a perfect atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. The staff was attentive and friendly, always ready to assist and provide...

Terrible experience. Advice to anyone who think of eating at this restaurant, dont to. Very unpleasant service attitude from the waitress and even the owners of the restaurant. Both the mother n son.

We paid $100 for 3 persons with 3 dishes. At the end of dinner, every table is served with dessert for every aingle person.

Our table only.served just one little pathetic bowl. We made the inquiry why only one bowl for 3 persons. The waitress n the owner replied that this is what is left. Take it or leave it!

We were frequent patrons and treated us with no respect and like beggars begging for their dessert.

We are utterly disappointed and this is the last time for us!

It was supposed to b a happy occasions where we have reunion family dinner but ended up with such lousy attitude n treatment.

Would never recommend such a eating place to anyone unless wanna be treated with no respect.

We learnt our lesson amd this restaurant does not deserve any...
