This restaurant does not try to help non Emglish speaking customers. Food was indifferent, the service pathetic and the staff could not care less if we were taken care of. The food arrived very slowly and the rice came after we were done eating. The food is mild by US standards and they charged even for hot chili sauce! Absolutely... More

I love this restaurant to such extent that I have a self-imposed requirement that I have to eat there every time I visit Shanghai (most often on the same day that I arrive). I would consider the cuisine "Hunan light". It's not as fire engine hot as Dishuidong in the French Concession, but I'm sure they can make it hotter... More

I like spicy food, so Guyi is perfect. Do try the ribs and the fish head! Get your beer ready and go to battle!

So many years and this place is still my preferite hunan restaurant in Shanghai. So good that you need to wait to seat, even after 9 pm...! a place to try!

This was my least favorite meal in Shanghai. It was extremely crowded and had locals which is always a good sign, so maybe we just ordered wrong - we got a few hot pots, one was chicken and the other had seafood like squid and/or octopus. I thought the food was good but compared to some of the other places... More

For entrees we loved the fish head in chilis and the lamb chops with cumin. Finished with a soup of taro and greens that... More

Dined at Guyi Hunan last night, was our first time but won't be our last. Food was the cleanest tasting freshest quality of any place we've tried in Shanghai including the high end restaurants. The menu is very easy to navigate and for once the pictures of the food actually were surpassed by the real presentation. Very interesting selection the... More

There may be better but we didn't find it. I thought that Guyi was not a simple Hunan restaurant but a has a touch of nouvelle in it as well. Great menu with lots of interesting choices. The cumin crusted lambchops were great as was the eggplant and really everything we tried. A definite step up from in the areas... More

Visited this restaurant for the first time last night and was very impressed. Ribs and shrimp were stand out but to be honest all of the food was delicious . Given the number of restaurants in Shanghai there is no need to ever go back but this is one I will definitely visit again
