Creator's Key Takeaways

do not waste your money on this

I would not do this restaurant again unless it's a part of your free complimentary meal

the lobster meat itself was a little chewy

the gumbo was under well made it had all of the ingredients it had the okra I had the chicken sausage not a lot of flavors to it

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Try to get into Shanghai's dining venue early by lining up about an hour before it opens.
โœ“If you want to try Ocean Blue, consider going earlier in the trip for fresher seafood.
