Shanghai ONE Fine Dining 外滩壹号

Great spot! Not busy at all super fast service and delicious food. Also got some good recommendations by the staff almost as good as Kensington market.

The first time we came, the fried dough sticks were dry and hard. We love fried dough sticks, so we ordered two portions, but it was a failure. The carrot cake was like tofu dregs. It fell apart as soon as I pinched it and couldn't pick it up at all. It smelled bad. The shrimp rice roll was served cold. Braised vegetable gallbladder with shiitake mushrooms, the shiitake mushrooms have a sour taste. After tasting several dishes, I asked the waiter to remove them if I couldn't eat them. There was red sauce on the side of the teapot. The ordering was very slow and the food was served very slowly. I was looking forward to having morning tea, but the experience was terrible. Won't come again

The food is mid with a good amount to fill you up. However, when i pay the bill, the waiter assuming i tip 10% and was insisted in forcing me to pay for that

The white chopped chicken is so delicious! Desserts are also good.
The only drawback is that the service is too cold...

Perhaps it was the chef working that day, but the food was bland and some ingredients were low quality. Service was great though and decor (which many Chinese restaurants don't do very well in) was nice.

Fried fish in black bean sauce - the sauce was bland, and the fish meat was also bland. Not sure why that would be, maybe not very fresh or low quality fish?

Salt and pepper pork chops - not enough salt, not enough pepper

Snow pea leaves and garlic - a lot of older stems, which makes the dish tough to chew.

Stir fried shrimp with cashews and veggies - this dish was fine.

I wasn’t so much disappointed about the food but the service. We went in for Dim Sum and they didn’t have enough carts or staff. We could have eaten quite a few more dishes but gave up getting service or food.

Waitress gave this arrogant attitude. Lol I don’t pay you $$$ to be treated horribly. Quit your job if you really hate it and your customers omg.

First time back in three years, still GOTO place for authentic Chinese food. Highly recommended Beef Ho Fan, Salty Fish & Diced Chicken Fried Rice, Range Free Chicken is one of the best in Ottawa. Spacious, clean environment and friendly service is a plus. Highly recommended.

We haven't tried this place for years. Now they must change the owner or chef.everything is better now. The atmosphere is good. Sitting is comfortable compares to other Chinses restaurants on Merivale Rd. The food quality is good and fresh, price is okay. I would come again.

The food was served very slowly. It took 2 and a half hours to serve 4 dishes, and 1 and a half hours for the first two dishes. And the food is extremely unauthentic. It was said that the chef of the five-star hotel recommended Sichuan cuisine, so he ordered three of the most popular Sichuan dishes. From the color, smell, taste to the ingredients, they were really useless. One can't help but suspect that this chef has only heard of Sichuan cuisine. Not only does he not know how to cook Sichuan cuisine, but he has never known it all his life. I’ve never seen Sichuan food.
Reply to the merchant's question: I have never expressed any opinions on the food or service of any restaurant before, even if the service is poor or the taste of the food is poor, it doesn't matter. I personally felt that I couldn't stand this restaurant so I posted a review, so this is the only review. I go to the restaurant at least once a week and never have the time to comment. This is a weird restaurant, so I took the time to say it. Merchant, please don't be arrogant. I originally wanted to give it 0 stars, but you took advantage of the lowest star in the system and why don't you find a place where no one is around to have some fun and spread your virtue here.

This place serves the worst dim sum I have ever had. The food was bland and dry. The pork spare ribs had the taste and texture of cardboard. Everything we ordered was mediocre at best. Save yourself money and choose another restaurant for your dim sum cravings.

I cant speak on the quality of food as we didn't get any. We came and were seated relatively quickly. 2 dim sum carts passed us and ignored our table. We didn't speak Chinese and that was clearly the problem. 20 minutes with absolutely no service. When we mentioned this to the front cash/server, she responded "okay, you can go". It left a bitter taste when someone says something like that.

(4 Adult and 5 kids) We had a good experience dinning in a private room. Only available when spending 150$ or more. Menu is vast, from chicken, beef, lambs, vegetables seafood etc. Flavour were different all across, some were better then others, wasn't to thrilled with the eggplants dish. The portions are good and excellent for sharing and all around delicious.

I asked the waitress how long I still need to wait for the dishes after half an hour waiting. The waitress with a ponytail didn't answer but showed her ugly rolling eyes to me. Worst service! Never come back again.
