Restaurant in Shanghai, China
Accessible Yunnanese with back-to-back Michelin recognition.
Hong 0871 is a Michelin Plate and Black Pearl 1 Diamond-recognised Yunnanese restaurant in Shanghai's Jing'an district, delivering award-validated regional Chinese cooking at a ¥¥ price point that is hard to match in this category. For first-timers to Yunnan cuisine or diners wanting something more specific than pan-Chinese menus, it is the clearest mid-price option in the neighbourhood.
Yunnanese cooking is not what most visitors think it is — it is not a gentler, greener cousin of Sichuan, and it does not live in the spice-heavy register most people associate with southwest China. Hong 0871 is a good first correction to that assumption. Holding both a Michelin Plate (2025) and a Black Pearl 1 Diamond (2025), this mid-price Jing'an restaurant is one of the cleaner arguments for booking Yunnanese specifically rather than defaulting to Shanghainese or Cantonese when you want Chinese cooking at a considered level. At the ¥¥ price point, the awards-to-cost ratio is hard to dismiss.
Yunnan province produces a cuisine built around wild mushrooms, mountain herbs, cured meats, and dairy products — yes, dairy, including the firm fresh cheese known as rubing , alongside rice and noodle preparations that differ structurally from the wheat-forward traditions of northern China. The kitchen at Hong 0871 operates within this tradition, and the consistent recognition from both Michelin and the Black Pearl guide suggests the cooking stays technically grounded rather than drifting toward fusion accommodation for Shanghai's international dining crowd.
For a first-timer, that matters. Yunnanese restaurants in major Chinese cities sometimes soften the regional character to broaden appeal. The dual-guide recognition here implies Hong 0871 is not doing that , you are more likely to encounter the real aromatic register of the cuisine, including the fermented and cured notes that give Yunnanese food its particular depth. The scent profile of a Yunnanese kitchen is distinct: dried and fresh fungi, slow-cooked broths, and the faint smokiness of preserved ingredients create a layered background that signals something different from a standard Chinese restaurant before the food arrives.
The address is in Jing'an district on Shimen Yi Road, third floor of a building at number 288. That means you are in one of Shanghai's more walkable and well-serviced neighbourhoods, well-connected by metro. Factor the third-floor location into your planning if mobility is a consideration.
The Michelin Plate designation (held in both 2024 and 2025) indicates consistent kitchen quality recognised by Michelin's inspectors , it sits below a star but above the noise floor of the general Shanghai restaurant scene. The Black Pearl 1 Diamond award, issued by Meituan and benchmarked against Chinese dining standards, adds a second independent validation and is particularly meaningful for Chinese regional cuisines where Western-focused guides sometimes lack depth of coverage. Having both signals that the restaurant performs credibly across two different evaluation frameworks. For a ¥¥ venue, that is not a common combination.
If you are building a Shanghai itinerary around Chinese regional cuisine, Hong 0871 sits alongside venues like Legend Taste (Jingan) and Xin Rong Ji (West Nanjing Road) as places where the cooking answers to a specific regional tradition rather than a pan-Chinese menu logic. 102 House covers Cantonese territory at a different register. Hong 0871 is the Yunnanese option in that set, and it is the only one of the group working in this tradition at this price.
The restaurant is part of the Hong 0871 brand, which also operates in Beijing. If you have eaten at the Hong 0871 location in Beijing and want to compare how the same kitchen concept translates across cities, the Shanghai branch gives you that reference point. For other Yunnanese cooking elsewhere in China, Dai Tai in Xiamen is a useful regional comparison.
The Google rating of 4.7 from 16 reviews is a thin sample, but the directional signal is consistent with the awards. At ¥¥, this is an accessible spend for a meal that carries genuine critical recognition. For first-timers to Yunnanese cuisine, it is a cleaner entry point than restaurants where the regional character has been diluted. For Shanghai regulars looking to fill a gap in their regional Chinese coverage, it answers a cuisine category that is genuinely underrepresented in the city's fine-casual tier.
Book here if: you want award-recognised Chinese regional cooking without a ¥¥¥¥ spend; you are new to Yunnanese food and want a version that takes the tradition seriously; or you are in Jing'an and want something more specific than another Shanghainese or pan-Chinese menu.
Skip it if: you need a venue with confirmed extended hours or large group capacity, as neither is verified in the current data. For ambitious vegetarian Chinese cooking at a higher spend, Fu He Hui is the stronger choice. For modern European in Shanghai at a comparable ambition level, Taian Table operates in a different category but answers a similar desire for deliberate, technique-led cooking.

If you are travelling across the region, comparable award-level Chinese dining can be found at Ru Yuan in Hangzhou, Chef Tam's Seasons in Macau, Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine in Guangzhou, Dai Yuet Heen in Nanjing, Xin Rong Ji on Xinyuan South Road in Beijing, and Xin Rong Ji in Chengdu.

Quick reference: Jing'an, ¥¥, Michelin Plate + Black Pearl 1 Diamond, easy to book.
Yes, it is a practical solo option. At ¥¥, the spend is low enough that ordering across several dishes to explore the Yunnanese menu does not require a group. Yunnanese cuisine includes a range of single-serve noodle and rice dishes alongside shared plates, which suits solo eating well. No counter seating is confirmed in the current data, but the casual mid-price format typically accommodates solo diners without friction in Shanghai.
Yunnanese cuisine is structurally more vegetable and mushroom-forward than many other Chinese regional traditions, which gives vegetarians more natural options. However, specific dietary accommodation policies are not confirmed for this venue. No website or phone number is available in the current data, so check via the booking platform you use or contact the restaurant directly through the address on arrival. If vegetarian Chinese dining at a higher specification is the priority, Fu He Hui is purpose-built for that at ¥¥¥¥.
Group capacity is not confirmed in the current data. At ¥¥ in a Jing'an mid-casual setting, groups of four to six are likely manageable, but private room availability and maximum group size have not been verified. For larger group bookings where private dining is a firm requirement, confirm directly before planning. No phone number is listed in the current data, so approach via the booking platform or in person.
No bar seating is confirmed for this venue. Yunnanese restaurants at this price tier in Shanghai typically operate as table-service dining rooms rather than bar-forward spaces. If bar dining in Shanghai is the specific format you want, this is probably not the right venue , Hong 0871 is better suited to a sit-down meal focused on the food.
Specific menu items are not confirmed in the current data, so a precise dish recommendation is not possible here. What is consistent with Yunnanese cooking at recognised venues is that the wild mushroom preparations, cured meat dishes, and rubing (fresh cheese) courses are usually the kitchen's strongest technical statements. The dual Michelin and Black Pearl recognition suggests these regional specialities are being executed with care rather than simplified. Order across the Yunnanese categories rather than defaulting to dishes that appear on every Chinese restaurant menu.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, meaning you should not need to plan weeks in advance for most visit windows. At ¥¥ with a Michelin Plate and Black Pearl recognition, demand is real but the price point keeps the crowd accessible. A few days' notice is a reasonable buffer. No online booking link is confirmed in the current data, so use a local booking platform or walk in and assess availability , Jing'an mid-week lunch is typically the lowest-demand slot at restaurants in this tier.

How Hong 0871 stacks up against the competition.
Yes. At ¥¥, the price point removes any pressure to over-order, and Yunnanese dishes are generally structured around individual plates rather than large shared formats that penalise solo guests. The Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 signals a kitchen that performs consistently, which matters when you are eating alone and ordering without a group to spread risk across.
Yunnan cuisine naturally includes a wide range of vegetable, mushroom, and dairy-based preparations, which gives the kitchen more flexibility than a protein-heavy regional style. That said, phone and website details are not publicly listed for Hong 0871, so contact via the restaurant directly at Level 3, 288 Shimen Yi Road, Jing'an to confirm specific requirements before booking.
The Level 3 location at 288 Shimen Yi Road suggests a dedicated floor, which typically means private dining or at minimum larger table configurations are available. At ¥¥ pricing, group meals here are lower-stakes financially than at a Michelin-starred Shanghai venue, making it a sensible choice for groups who want something regionally specific without a high per-head cost.
Bar seating is not documented in the available venue data for Hong 0871. Yunnanese restaurants in this category tend toward full table service rather than counter or bar formats. check the venue's official channels at its Jing'an address to confirm seating options before visiting.
Specific menu items are not available in the published record, so dish-level recommendations cannot be given here without risk of error. Yunnanese cuisine as a category is built around wild mushrooms, mountain-cured meats, fresh herbs, and rubing cheese — if those are on the menu, they represent the cuisine's most distinctive offerings and the clearest reason to choose Hong 0871 over a generic Chinese restaurant in Jing'an.
Exact reservation lead times are not published, but a venue holding both a Michelin Plate and a Black Pearl 1 Diamond for 2025 in central Jing'an will attract consistent demand. Booking at least a week ahead is a reasonable baseline; for Friday or Saturday dinner, aim for two weeks. The ¥¥ price range and awards combination makes this an accessible option that fills without much notice.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
