Qianqiu Restaurant is a Taiwan-style restaurant in the Gubei area of Changning district, known as a mixed community with residents from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. It is probably the most challenging location for restaurateurs aiming to cater to the common taste since Gubei residents are known to be pretty hard to please. However, Qianqiu is getting there, it seems. All dishes on the menu are worth a taste, but the beef rolls are particularly noteworthy, especially for a first-time diner here.

823 Golden Street, Changning district, Shanghai. 021-62701172.
