Typical spend

The typical spend is an editorial estimate of what most guests will spend per person at this venue. It’s meant to give you a quick idea of how expensive a place feels, not an exact bill. We base this on:

  • public menus and dish prices
  • average spend data from Dianping
  • our team’s editorial judgment

For restaurants, this usually means: one main dish + one drink per person.
For bars: around two drinks per person.

  • $ - Under 100 RMB/pp
  • $$ - 100-200 RMB/pp
  • $$$ - 200-500 RMB/pp
  • $$$$ - 500+ RMB/pp

Disclaimer: Prices can vary depending on what you order, promotions, and menu changes. This is a guide, not a guarantee.

Editor's Description

Last updated: Jul 13, 2026
Over 1,000m2 of restaurant space stretched along the top of this building in Laomatou aka The Cool Docks, down on the South Bund, with around 100 seats with a window view and an expansive terrace looking out over the Huangpu River. The menu features Continental-style steaks, chops and seafood with Pan-Asian inspiration as well as a small sushi selection, truffle fries, pastas, desserts, and also discounted pretty cocktails for checking in on Dianping, and more. This is the second Kathleen's Waitan, after they vacated the original further north years ago, bringing with them the same service and kitchen teams. This location opened in 2018 but Kathleen's as a restaurant goes back to the 90s in Guangzhou. We have an interview about all that and more with the founder, Kathleen Lau, here: https://www.smartshanghai.com/articles/dining/shanghai-famous-kathleen-lau
