Book NowAbout Uncle Wang Restaurant and Bar
Tucked into The Barracks, Uncle Wang pairs punchy, authentic Chinese cooking with the sultry buzz of a downtown Shanghai cocktail lounge. No tired banquet hall routines here. Patrons regularly point to the crisp cucumber salad and fried tofu as immediate table orders. Plates of sweet char siu ribs arrive stacked high alongside bowls of mushroom noodles and fried rice showing off honest wok hei. Pour a house cocktail, settle into the tight room, and let the table fill up with duck pancakes and bold sauces.
- Downtown Shanghai Energy: A compact, stylish dining room that channels the moody, buzzing feel of a Shanghai lounge rather than a traditional banquet hall.
- Signature Shared Plates: Crisp cucumber salad, golden fried tofu, and sweet char siu pork ribs stacked high lead the menu.
- Uncompromising Flavors: Bold, authentic seasonings cut through routine takeout fare, matched with cocktails and mushroom noodles.

Balance strong, bold mains with proven starter staples like the cucumber salad and fried tofu, which consistently stand out across visits.
