Bund Shanghai Restaurant, Las Vegas

Bund Shanghai Restaurant specializes in traditional Shanghainese-style Chinese food. That means its chefs cook seafood entrees such as salt-and-pepper prawns and curry-baked crab, and its signature dishes range from cumin lamb chops to black-pepper beef ribs.

Servers tote these plates through a bright and airy dining room; it spans two stories high, so it needs only one more story to accommodate a noncrouching Shaquille O’Neil. Cobblestone accents crawl up one wall, and sunlight lights up the traditional-style pagoda at the back of the restaurant.
