In the heart of Lujiazui, Tasty Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop + Shanghai distills Hong Kong’s canon into a polished, modern canteen—light pink and mint-green hues framing a cult bowl that needs no introduction. This Shanghai outpost of the famed Hong Kong brand is a beacon for discerning diners seeking rigorously crafted wonton noodle soup, charcoal-fragrant roasts, and baked goods made in-house, all delivered with the smooth confidence of a well-drilled team. It’s comfort cuisine elevated with exacting technique—Shanghai fine dining sensibility applied to everyday classics. The Story & Heritage Established in Hong Kong and expanded to major Asian capitals, Tasty Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop is revered for precision: springy noodles pulled to the second, shrimp wontons wrapped to a whisper, broths simmered to crystalline clarity. After moving from Shanghai IFC to its refreshed address in 2021, the Shanghai branch kept its original kitchen and service team intact—ensuring continuity of craft that earned critical praise and Michelin attention. The culinary philosophy is fidelity to Cantonese fundamentals with disciplined consistency; the evolution here is aesthetic, not conceptual, bringing the brand’s heritage into a softer, contemporary frame while guarding the recipes that built its reputation. The Cuisine & Menu Expect a proudly Cantonese menu anchored by noodle mastery and roastery classics. The signature Wonton Noodle Soup arrives with al dente egg noodles in a briny-sweet, prawn-forward broth, crowned with translucent shrimp wontons. Roast meats—Honey-Glazed Char Siu, Crispy-Skinned Roast Pork, and Soy-Poached Chicken—are cut to order. Dim sum staples and bakery favorites, notably the warm, crumbly Pineapple Bun, are baked in-house. Menus are à la carte with seasonal specials; portions encourage sharing. Ingredients skew toward quality-first sourcing, with a strict focus on freshness and consistency. Dietary accommodations are available on request (including lighter broths and vegetable-forward plates), while pricing sits at refined yet approachable rather than ultra-premium. Experience & Atmosphere The room is crisp, luminous, and urbane—pastel walls, clean lines, and an easy hum of well-orchestrated service. Seating is efficient but comfortable, ideal for business lunches or elegant family gatherings. Service is brisk, polished, and attentive without ceremony—expect your noodles to land at peak texture. The beverage list leans toward Chinese teas that flatter the broth and roasts, alongside a concise selection of wines for those who prefer a pairing-led approach. Private dining is limited; reservations are recommended during peak meal periods. Dress code is smart casual; the emphasis is on comfort with polish. For aficionados, request seats with a view of the roastery counter for a quiet masterclass in slicing.
