"USDA prime steaks above Lujiazui — book Morton's at Shanghai IFC for the porterhouse and the New York strip with Oriental Pearl Tower views."
About Morton's The Steakhouse
Morton's The Steakhouse sits on the fourth floor of the Shanghai IFC Mall in Lujiazui, Pudong — the world's largest Morton's, with 400 seats, nine private dining suites and a terrace facing the Oriental Pearl Tower. Part of the Chicago steakhouse chain founded in 1978, the Shanghai outpost has long been one of the city's go-to rooms for USDA prime beef and a deal across the table.
It sits among the city's leading steak and grill rooms. Compare the chophouse 1515 West Chophouse, the grill Grill 58 and the riverside Mr & Mrs Bund, or browse the wider steakhouse picks.
The Kitchen
The kitchen does the steakhouse canon at scale. The cuts to order are the porterhouse and the New York strip, both USDA prime, with the boneless prime rib a Friday-and-Saturday special; around them run jumbo lump crab cakes, colossal shrimp and the classic sides. The beef is the point — aged, seared hard and served simply — backed by a list of more than 250 wines.
This is a top-tier Shanghai spend: prime steaks run roughly ¥600 to 640, with a two-course set lunch around ¥218, and most diners spend ¥700 to 1,000 a head with wine.
The Room
The room is large, clubby and polished — dark wood, white linen and city-light views — with nine private suites wired for presentations and a terrace over Lujiazui. Service is formal and well-drilled, geared to long dinners and working meals alike. The mood is grown-up and corporate-friendly, suited to a celebration or a deal rather than a casual bite. Booking ahead is wise, and essential for the private rooms.
Not for
Not for a quick, casual or budget meal, or anyone after local Shanghainese cooking — this is a big-ticket American steakhouse built for prime beef and a dressed-up dinner.
