Fine Dining on the Bund? | My Experience at an Immersive Theatre Restaurant 🌟

Changing into traditional costumes, enjoying live performances, interacting with stunning visuals, and tasting flavors from across China—this meal fulfilled all my wishes and left me feeling absolutely blissful! ✨

💄 Costume & Styling | My Regal Transformation on the Bund
Arrive 1.5–2 hours early to pick your outfit and get styled.
Ladies have endless choices: Hanfu, Qipao, Hong Kong retro, Republican-era fashion… Light-colored outfits photograph best!
Men can opt for long gowns, martial hero costumes, or even emperor robes.
Kids get adorable mini Hanfu—perfect for photos.
I chose the Premium Styling Package (¥398/person), which included the outfit, elegant hairstyling, and accessories. The stylist’s skills were incredible—I felt fully immersed even before entering the dining area.

🍽️ 2-Hour Story-Driven Dining | One Scene, One Dish
Follow Panda Chef Cheng Baobao 🐼 on a culinary journey across China, enhanced with stunning 3D visuals. Each dish represents a different region:
1️⃣ Appetizer Platter: Four regional bites + jasmine cold tea—a refreshing start.
2️⃣ Jiangnan Tapas: Asparagus tartlets and crab meat tartare… paired with Longjing tea, capturing the essence of southern China.
3️⃣ Beijing Duck: Sliced onsite—crispy skin, tender meat, balanced perfectly with hawthorn strips.
4️⃣ Fish in Sour Soup: Tender grouper in a tangy-spicy broth, with fun interactive “fishing” projections on the table.
5️⃣ Mapo Tofu: Upgraded with wagyu and lobster! Lightly spicy and incredibly aromatic—impossible to resist.
6️⃣ Healthy Hot Pot: Rich mushroom broth with premium snow beef and abalone—the freshness speaks for itself.
7️⃣ Sweet Rice Balls: Served with a starry sky visual effect—a dreamy, lightly sweet finale to the journey.
They also offer a fully vegetarian menu!

🎭 More Than a Meal—It’s a Spectacle
Wrap-around screens + table projections: misty Jiangnan landscapes, snowy northern scenes, a starry cosmos… the visuals keep changing and are absolutely breathtaking.
Live performances: water sleeve dance, Sichuan face-changing, Shaolin Kung Fu—the atmosphere is electrifying.
Interactive games: “write” calligraphy, “catch” fish, tap planets—never a dull moment while waiting for dishes.
Passport-style menu: adds to the ceremony, and you can take it home as a souvenir.
It’s like watching a grand food-themed theatre production while you dine.

📝 Final Thoughts
I’d give this experience a perfect 10—food, visuals, photos, and fun all exceeded expectations.
Whether it’s for an anniversary, birthday, family gathering, treating friends, or simply pampering yourself, this is totally worth it.
This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an immersive experience you’ll want to relive again and again.
