What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners agree the spectacular views of Shanghai are the main draw, but opinions on the food quality and value are mixed. While some praise the extensive selection of Chinese and Western dishes, others find the food average and overpriced for a buffet. Many mention feeling rushed due to time constraints, making the experience less enjoyable for some.
"5 stars! The amount of selection and the quality of the food was amazing. Easily the best place that I dined at in Shanghai. Note: I may be biased since I’m not that into the very traditional foods."
Jay Moon
"I had buffet dinner at this restaurant last week . It seemed to be quite popular as the queue was already there before it opens. We queued for about 20mins before it opens at 7.00 pm. By 8.30pm, we were told to get ready to leave as it closes at 9.00 pm. With the limited time and so much food varieties to choose from, we did not have time to enjoy the food and the night view of Shanghai.
After dinner, we have to walk two floors down the tower as the lift had stop operating. Overall, I think it is not worth the visit."
Rob Chang
"Rushed experience!Because of the timing,we didn’t really enjoy or was relaxed to eat here.
We were given 5pm untill 7pm for the entrance but we thought it applied to entrance to the tower and not the restaurant . We arrived at the restaurant at 6:20pm and had to wait for their control but then we were told that we can start eating but have to leave at 7pm. So we had less than 30mins and had to rush. It wasn’t nice.
They give out small gifts at the end but if you do not show up when they say,you won’t get it. (Everything is more on their time than yours.)
And the restaurant is called revolving meaning that it gradually rotates so that you can see the different sides but we were given a table that was far from the window.
At the end,we tried to find joy in the experience especially with the cook etc. Since we weren’t able to eat much and our food was still at the table at 7pm,they said that we can stay,finish it up and then leave that was when we asked.
Just make sure to understand what the timing that you are given mean."
