I'm a California chowhound who eats a lot of Chinese (and other asian) food. I'd like some suggestions for places around the area I'm staying for great bao, handmade noodles, or anything else local and delectable. Thanks!

When I visited the Pudong area, I got the impression that it was a bit of a wasteland, albeit with some spectacular achitecture. Did you wind up getting something decent to eat?

If you are on an expense account, the only choice is FU 1088, the best Shanghainese restaurant in the city. Fri Oct 09 00:34:57 -0700 2009 5058834 1115009 hafnerd
