1 meal in Shanghai Disneytown

[hasabigrock]

So next month I'll be in Shanghai for business. I plan to visit the park over the weekend, but managed to book myself a seat at the Lion King on Thursday evening.

I'll leave work at 5 PM and cab it to Disney Shanghai.
I think I'll get there around 5:30 PM, 6 PM at the latest.
Show starts at 7PM and goes through 9:30 PM (I think).

I want to squeeze in dinner between 5:30-6PM and 7PM. I won't be going into the park. So any recommendations on where I should eat?

Right now I'm thinking one of the following two:

• Crystal Jade: Authentic modern Cantonese cuisine
• Shanghai Min: Authentic Shanghainese cuisine

I didn't actually get around to visiting Disney Town on my trip, so I can't offer any personal experience. However, if it was me I would go for Shanghai Min - may as well eat Shanghainese while in Shanghai. Having said that, depending on how long you're spending in Shanghai for business, you may feel like something different. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to get a table for 1 on a weeknight. You could always just decide when you get there

I ate lunch at the Blue Frog in Disneytown on 9/3/2016. Had the Beef with Broccoli.
Atmosphere: American. Pleasant.
Service: Table Service. I sat at the bar. Had US Open tennis on the TV. Exactly what I was looking for. Very good
Food: Too many onions, but otherwise flavorful. Served in a min-wok
Price: Food+Beverages = 88 RMB+ 70 RMB = 158 RMB ($24)
Overall: Well worth the price

I later walked to the Boathouse
Atmosphere: Seating near the water is very nice.
Service: Counter. Staff is overly helpful.
Food: Ice Cream. A little too sweet
Price: Vanilla in a cone = 18 RMB ($2.75)
Overall: Nice place to go for a quiet spot.

I don't recall the Crystal Jade or Shanghai Min
