Fu 1039
$$$
SHANGHAINESE
Set in a three-storey 1913 villa, Fu attains an old-fashioned charm uncommon in design-
driven Shanghai. The succulent smoked-fish starter and the stewed pork in soy sauce are
recommended, with the sweet-and-sour Mandarin fish coming in close behind. The en-
trance, down an alley and on the left, is unmarked. Minimum charge of ¥200 per head.
