ny times shang review

After posting about my saturday night dinner, I went back and read the review of Shang that was featured in the New York Times Dining Out section on February 18, 2009. The New York Times gave Shang one star, which I think was richly undeserved. According to the article, the food was too complex and all over the place. Maybe Shang has cleaned up its act in the amount of time between when the review was written and when I ate there, but the food I had was not complicated at all. The flavors were very clean, and the menu was mainly focused on Chinese food.
