Why go

Char Char Bistro starts from the supplier. The restaurant is backed by a beef supplier, and Rachel Gouk's listing says that is why its steak is mostly USDA grade. Her March 2025 guide adds that the steaks are USDA or Angus, that a few cuts are dry-aged, and that the owner's trade makes prices more competitive than at other Shanghai steak restaurants; it gives no figures. It is a cozy neighborhood room on Xinzha Road in Jing'an with outdoor seating.
