The only difference was the option of all-you-can eat/drink! For 168 kuai, we ate way too much meat and drank way too many expensive drinks. There was one interesting cultural experience when we decided to get fruit while we were still a little hungry.
Someone ordered fruit and the chef asked us if we wanted ice cream. Without any hesitation we said yes! The only problem was that soon after, the chef turned the grill off and left. Servers stopped coming into our room and we were really confused. When we did manage to get a waitress back in, she was pretty grumpy. The chef returned and was cheerful, but everyone was reasonably confused. Apparently ordering fruit is a very clear sign of the end of the meal, and with a language barrier as severe as ours, that’s pretty important. We still left full and happy, but left the staff a little ruffled.
Also, here is a picture of the "across the river" part of Shanghai and an interesting link that will give a better idea of just how quickly this city is growing.
UPDATE: We’re pretty sure this dinner is why everyone got horribly sick.
