The Bund 8 外滩8号

After last night, The Bund 8 has become one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in L.A.! I discovered this restaurant while searching for Crab Roe dishes in LA and it seemed to be the only place that was reliably recommended. The Crab Roe tofu was so flavorful, savory and genuinely addicting. I will absolutely be coming back for this dish. We also ordered the Shanghai Fried Shrimp, which was crunchy and lightly sweet. Another standout and must have. The stir fried rice cakes were delicious, and so were the snow pea tips. The roast duck was good. Not overly oily, but not their main export from what I could tell. It was very well served. Thick pieces of meat. Overall, none of the dishes felt heavy or greasy. It’s very clear whoever is in the kitchen loves to cook. You could tell their h

My former work mom brought me here for lunch. She and her husband are fantastic chefs so I would follow them anywhere because it’s always good. I am trying to understand how anyone could give this place low ratings. This is typical Shanghai food and Shanghai is one of the top food cities in the world in my opinion. The chefs in this kitchen have incredible wok skills and an extremely hot stove. I can’t remember the last time I had string beans this crisp. Same for the shrimp - perfect texture. The eggplant had a crisp skin and soft center. The braised pork you could tell was cooked for a while because the sauce was reduced nicely. The dishes were all simple but cooked to perfection. The flavors were all distinct and delicious. For weekday lunch they have specials. I can’t wait to come back

Shanghainese food was exceptional. We went for a tasting and we're pleased with the food. We started out with appetizers. Marinated layered bean curd, smoked fish, marinated beans, cold drunkened chicken, jellyfish with cucumbers, sweet bbq pork ribs, and ham cuts with vinegar/ginger dip. The appetizers were all exceptional with a flavor of is own. Dinner consisted of herbal chicked soup, crab with rice cakes in wine sauce, sweet and sour rock cod, smoked duck, beef ribs, steamed eggs with clams, stir fried shrimp and for dessert: black sesame

Came during lunch, the food is really good, authentic Shanghai dishes. Steam chicken scallion is very flavorful. Tofu skin in tofu skin mung beans is very soft. Fried shrimp is also good. Crab meet noodle you can taste the sea. 佛跳墙 is very nice, ingredients used are what you expected, taste great. Service is excellent, server checked in on us constantly, made sure we got everything, and add water to tea pot without us asking. Plenty of parking in parking lot

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 r
