The hidden location is a quite new/coll spoot in the french consation.
The design of the resturant is clean/open design.
The service was fine at the time we visit.

The food was nothing what we expected. Perhapps the food is okay, but as we expected Malaysian food we was VERY disapointed. :(
I strongly recommend them to be more clear that the base (perhapps) is Malaysian, but with there own touch of...

So this resturnt is not as bad as this might sound, but for us it was as to our expectations of real Malaysian food, that we miss from time to time...

We will not go back.

The decore is okay. Not to little, not to much and in good shape.
The food is also okay. Not exactly how I like my Thai food, but then I mostly eat/prefer the taste from south Thailand.
With that sade, food is okay, even for my taste.
Service is also okay. I do like that there was no screaming by the servent from one end of the resturant to the other. At least not when I visit. :)

If I am in the area again I will make a stop here, again! :)
But to my (personal) taste I will not make a trip here just to eat.

I never really wrote any reviews before but i thought it was really necessary to let other people know that this restaurant it’s worth a visit.

From the moment we opened the door we were in love with the place. The staff was super nice, decoration really cool, makes you feel comfortable and chilled after a busy day at work.

Sangria as expected was good but after we saw food coming out of the kitchen looking good we decided to order a few tapas as well and what started as an after work drink with colleagues, ended up in a nice superb dinner.

The food is traditionally Spanish, decent portions, a great variety for all tastes.

I will come back again for sure !

All the food was really well seasoned and nicely presented
We started the meal with some tapas and then followed into the main part of the inner with the recommended black seafood paella, which was certainly a crowd pleaser.
The manchego cheese, though simply presented is a really tasty hard cheese.
The Spanish ham was delicious and for the price the best value in any of the Spanish restaurants that I've been to in Shanghai
The truffle croquettes were very beyond delicious, worth going just for these little gems.
Batatas Bravas made from baby potatoes with the garlic and brava sauce were well balanced by the two sauces.
The BBQ-ed Spanish blood sausages had a delicious rich and smokey flavor that were well balanced with the cooked bell peppers
After dinner the manager surprised us with a complimentary dessert of flan and chocolate mousse (on an olive oil bread - who would have guessed that it would taste so great together).
We'll be going back for sure!

I am not sure if it is because they are new to Shanghai, or they are trying to see what the upper limits of overpriced food , but the pricing is a multiple of what should be acceptable.

Sure, the food is good, but at 98RMB for a slice of lasagna that doesn't have a consistent core temperature is all I needed to know I have no need to ever return to Nene.

There is a reason why DaMarco (and others) succeeded. Value for price. Every time.

I recently went here for their business lunch and came out of it with very mixed feelings.

All 4 of us chose the set lunch, which is between 118 and 128. For that you SHOULD get soup, a mains, ice cream and tea/coffee. We however, received hardly any of that.
To be fair we also did order off menu for the drinks but were told that 3 times on 3 different drinks were not available - all the smoothies and several of the fresh juices. So in the end 2 of us went for the coconut juice, which is nicely served in a whole coconut.

We never received our soups, but we did receive our main courses, although all at different times. I had the lamp chops, which were delicious - however due to being polite to my business associates i had to wait for all of theirs to be served - thus by the time all our dishes had been served mine was cold...sigh.

After our mains, we were not offered our desserts or our coffee/tea as stated in the set business lunch. We had to flag down one of the scatter-brained wait staff to twice request this, but in the end only received our coffee and teas.

The damage for 4 set lunches, 2 coconut juice, 1 soda water, 1 ginger tea and a side order of veg was 701RMB. In my eyes this is way over priced, especially for lunch.

The décor inside the restaurant is nice, but due to the dark interior, probably best suited to dinner. I hear they have a nice roof terrace but since its ball shrinkingly cold weather right now, none of us were willing to brave the terrace.

The service was shoddy at best, and while I understand it was busy for lunch, the staff were never attentive and had to be asked at least twice for everything.
The extra factor of pretty much cheating us out of half the set lunch also brings down my opinion of them too.

If Lapis Thai is going to offer a set menu then at least actually OFFER it to their guest and not cheat them out of half the menu.
If their service and ethics improve i would just about consider returning, but since there are many other restaurants in Shanghai Centre im not sure this going to happen anytime soon.

Found in the cool Red Town, this place has a cosy ambience with attentive staff. It offers an alternative lifestyle without preaching, which is great, since I've been a sworn meat-lover all my life! The food is great (honestly, I didn't miss the meat!) and the prices offer great value-for-money.

Due to its "love nature" philosophy, pets are very much welcome here and with the abundance of space in Red Town, it's a great hang-out for dog-lovers (and for the more sporty ones among us if you fancy a quick jog around the square...). The art galleries are worth visiting too.

I've met up with friends as well as held business meetings there, it's always been a hit. As for dates... I heard the Tea House helped to organise a marriage proposal recently. I think she accepted...

I guess it's a matter of personal taste when it comes to food venues, not everyone will agree on everything, but this place certainly works for me.

I have been to this place few times now and I never get bored about what I try. Even if the menu is not so large you can find all the typical Thai dishes that you want. Such as Tom Yum/Tom Kha Gai(Chicken Coconut Soup)/Massaman Nuea (Massaman Curry with Beef). The last time I went it was for a business meeting and besides the fact that the service could be improved (the waitress was not really smiling and she didn't know the drink list so well)the dishes always come out of the kitchen quite quick. I have never tried it with my Girlfriend but it's definitely a place where I would see myself inviting her. So it's for sure a place that I will continue to go in the future especially if their Lady Thai Chef is still so funny....
