The first Shanghai outpost of one of Beijing's better-known roast duck restaurants, Shengyongxing, is known for being particular about its ducks. Diners receive a copy of each duck's identification card when it arrives for tableside carving. It gives details of the duck's origin and stats meant to show its high quality. Diners can order the roast duck as an individual portion, whole, or topped with caviar. The rest of the menu covers contemporary Chinese fine dining, centered on luxury ingredients such as abalone, Wagyu beef, and sea cucumber, and a handful of traditional Beijing dishes such as gongbao chicken and zha jiang mian. The space is outfitted in modern, minimalist Chinese design and presents a sweeping view of Lujiazui just across the river. Sheng Yong Xing also has an extensive wine list selected by Meiyu Li (former winner of China's Best Sommelier Competition). Service here is in Chinese, though the entire menu is printed in both Chinese and English, including wine pairing recommendations.
