No.199 Huangpu Road, Hongkou District 2/F, Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai 200080 China
简爱小战As a restaurant in a five-star hotel, it seems a little old. And it is a long and narrow layout. Basically, if you want to eat buffet, you have to walk a long way. Hahahaha
But all the waiters are very nice, which is very good!

The Xianghui restaurant of Shanghai Bund Hyatt Hotel is on the second floor of the hotel and can be directly accessed from the underground garage. The restaurant mainly serves buffets and now has various discounts. Overall, it is good and the service is responsive.
Had breakfast here, it was good value for money [Taste] There are a lot of varieties here, including vegetarian chicken, rice cake, etc., which are all very good [Environment] You can see the Monument to the People's Heroes and other landscapes [Service] Pretty proactive
Seize the tail of May and go to "Xianghui" to eat crayfish, including drinks. There are only two flavors of crayfish, spicy and iced. The iced ones are placed at the sashimi stall, covered with ice cubes. The lobsters are medium in size, and each one has a good texture. When peeled, they still have white gills and yellow heads. The spicy ones are freshly fried spicy fruits, medium spicy, with lettuce and rice cakes in them. They are served in a ceramic bowl and taste good. I like fruits, which are basically seasonal fruits, such as mango, dragon fruit, black grapes, passion fruit, lychee, etc. There are quite a lot of varieties, and there are 3 freshly squeezed juices on the side, and you can see the ingredients. The pizza is also freshly baked, with flavors such as Hawaiian, seafood, and sausage. Looking at the pizza crust made by the chef, it is covered with tomato sauce and has a chewy texture. There are Chinese and Western hot dishes, not many varieties but all to your taste. Chinese stomachs prefer Chinese dishes. Broad beans, chrysanthemum, amaranth, assorted egg fried rice, etc. are all seasonal vegetables with a good taste. I love salmon sashimi, thick cuts, and they are restocked quickly. There are also large shrimps and conchs. Of course, you will be satisfied with some desserts at the end. There are chocolate waterfalls and various cakes, which are quite exquisite. I feel that they can be compared to afternoon tea. The mini puffs are very good. The price-performance ratio is quite high. I enjoyed the crayfish, but the event will end at the end of the month.
I saw several people on WeChat who had been eating there. They had all-you-can-eat hairy crab, so I decided to give it a try, considering it's less than 3 kilometers from work. The buffet was reasonably priced per person, so I gathered a group of 10 and it came to 210 yuan per person—a real treat. Reservations are essential; it's incredibly popular. We got a great table, but walking around also helps with digestion. There were eight stalls, and the dazzling array of food was incredibly satisfying. My first choice was the hairy crab. I've been eating crab a bit too often lately, but I just love it. I ordered two to whet my appetite. They were incredibly filling, with all the leg meat, roe, and crabmeat. Dipping them in crab vinegar made them perfect. I felt like I could have earned my money back with four Taihu crabs. I ended up eating three and was completely satisfied, leaving room for the other delicious dishes. The second highlight was the lamb chops and steak, along with the cheese sausage and Thuringian sausage. They were grilled fresh and were very popular, so I asked my friends to line up to get some to try. The lamb chops were original, not marinated, and very tender. The grilling was done well, and a simple salt and pepper glaze brought out the flavor without being overpowering. The sausages were German-style, probably because their executive chef is German, and they had a unique texture. The Cantonese barbecue stall was also excellent, especially the roast suckling pig, which had crispy skin and tender meat and was delicious. They also had other authentic roast meats, and the dishes were quite authentic. Next door was the specialty noodles, freshly made. The noodles were a must-try, so I shared them with my friends and tried them all. There was the beef noodles, which tasted just like the one at the Grand Hyatt Taipei. The Taiwanese beef noodles had a slightly sweet broth, thanks to the red dates. The beef was generous and crispy, and the noodles were just the right thickness. The Nanyang-style laksa noodles were slightly spicy and sour, and the prawns were also impressive. A bowl of all-you-can-eat at a Singaporean restaurant would cost over NT$50, so the buffet was manageable on a budget. There were also other options, such as chicken noodle soup. I really love noodles. The seafood stalls are also a must-try. They offer Norwegian salmon, conch, Canadian snow crab legs, shrimp, and more. I tried every one of them. They were fresh, and the salmon was thickly sliced and delicious. I also saw chirashi sushi rice, which was quite popular. The area around the stalls mainly serves Japanese cuisine, with ramen and tempura available to satisfy your taste buds. To the right are desserts and fruit. The fruit selection is small but exquisite, with watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, passion fruit, pear, and other seasonal fruits. Several desserts are outstanding. I love the steamed cakes made with brown sugar, as well as the ice cream burgers and fried ice cream. The ice cream and fire combination, with yogurt and strawberry ice cream flavors, is delicious. Desserts like tiramisu, profiteroles, and fruit cheesecake are all very popular and restock quickly. They also make waffles and crepes on site, and you can DIY your own sauce, though I honestly felt like I was leaning against the wall. There is a row of casseroles at the entrance of the hallway, which are filled with stir-fried dishes. You can see the chefs cooking on the spot through the transparent glass. There are many varieties. I am going to buy 10 more tickets from their official Weibo account, but they say the price will increase soon. Hurry up and stock up~
The restaurant does charge a 15% service charge, which I appreciated. Different servers took our orders, served our dishes, and poured our tea, each one polite and welcoming. I brought Piggy with me for photos, and she complimented me several times on how adorable the doll was. Since I had an extra doll, I gave it to her, hoping it would bring happiness and good luck to her in the new year. I felt really happy too! When we ordered, the staff offered suggestions and even reminded us if we had overordered. Very thoughtful!
Whenever you're stuck for what to eat, a buffet at 778 is always a surefire way to go, especially at a five-star hotel. They offer a pleasant atmosphere, a wide selection, excellent service, and guaranteed delicious food. Today, I chose the long-established Xianghui at the Hyatt on the Bund. The Hyatt on the Bund was one of the first five-star hotels along the Bund. For a long time, it was renowned for its upstairs hot tub and bar. Its unique location, right at the bend of the Huangpu River, still makes it one of the best hotels with the best night views of the Huangpu River. The restaurant, located on the third floor, has a rather business-like atmosphere and a conventional design. The menu is extensive, with everything from barbecue, seafood, sashimi, hot dishes, dim sum, desserts, and even seasonal hairy crab. There's sure to be something to suit everyone. Regarding the service, there's a significant difference between counters. The guy cutting the salmon looked reluctant and indifferent. He'd answer a question briefly, but never twice. The guy behind the roast duck counter was much warmer, more polite, and greeted you with a smile. TIPS 1 There's currently construction going on outside the hotel along the Bund, so the view is a bit off. But it gets dark early now, so it's not a big deal. Haha. 2. The buffet restaurant was having a promotion, so we went at the special price, over 100 yuan per person, including drinks. What else do you want? Bicycles.
Aroma. Hyatt on the Bund 199 Huangpu Road, 2nd Floor, West Building, Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai This is my second time at Aroma. The biggest highlight of this buffet is that drinks are included. Many five-star hotel buffets require drinks to be ordered separately. And the sashimi is self-serve, unlike other hotels where you're only given two or three pieces. The sashimi is also of good quality. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have freshly grilled steak. Aside from the relatively limited selection, the value for money is quite good. The service is also excellent. The smiles are very comforting.
