Xuyan - Immersive Tang Dynasty Royal Banquet|Shanghai Flagship Store

Had an incredible lunch at Xuyan! What really sets this place apart is the amazing variety of traditional costumes available—I loved that there were so many choices to pick from. Remember arrive early so you can choose first! and don’t worry you get bored, there is some activities and mini games before lunch start, you can slowly play along and take more photos before the show , I brought my dad along, and he was so happy with the food and the overall vibe. It’s not just a meal,it’s a full cultural experience. Highly recommended!

We really really enjoyed this! Was easy to contact them via Wechat to book our timeslot. Booked the package with clothing, makeup and hair + added on professional photography. We loved the variety of options, and the makeup/hair artists are very efficient. The photographer takes soo many pics, and you get 3 free. We ended up topping up for 3 more. The dinner itself is super worth it, it was like a 8-course banquet dinner with crab, fish etc. The dinner lasted about 2h with many performances. My 3 year old daughter loved the whole experience! Recommend arriving early (we arrived about 4.30pm for the 4.45pm makeup slot, it's first come first served), which gave us plenty of time to take photos before dinner at 6.50pm. Highly recommend!

My first Hanfu experience! The lavish meal and show were absolutely delightful! We arrived an hour and a half before the show started, but there was quite a wait for makeup. If you have extra time, I recommend arriving early. I made the reservation via WeChat. I sent a message considering the time difference, but the reply was slow. However, I was glad we got to enjoy our meal from the very front row! The outfits were pre-arranged, and while the one I tried on wasn't quite what I imagined, I couldn't change it. There were also accessories like fans and capes, but they were first-come, first-served, so be aware of that! I showed a reference photo for my makeup, but they declined, so I left it up to them! All the staff members were very kind!

I was worried about the seating, but the standard seats had a great view! I couldn't understand the language, but I enjoyed the dancing and performances. The food was all delicious and hot. Even in the standard seats, I got something like a strawberry candy, but it was tomato and muscat. The costumes had fewer variations than I expected, and even though I researched and decided on an image beforehand, I couldn't find a costume with the same vibe, which was frustrating. It came with makeup and hair, but I had read in reviews that the makeup was light, so I went with heavy makeup, and they added rhinestones to my face. The staff are in a big hurry, so I think it's smoother if you do your makeup beforehand. They quickly add decorations to the hair that match the costume, so they don't ask for your opinion. You have to muster up the courage to say something yourself, but basically, they don't understand the language, and they don't speak English, so a translation app is essential. The finished look was a little different from what I had imagined, but there are photo spots, and you can take lots of pictures while eating, so I was satisfied. I recommend taking pictures indoors in a relaxed setting. I also saw people having Hanfu experiences outdoors in places like Yu Garden, but they looked very cold.

Had a hard time to book my ideal date with them by email . replies will not clear with English . Bookings only open 2 10 days before . In the end I contact them by WeChat (voice call) follow by DM. advised to liaise by WeChat directly instead . Overall experience was good , make up and choosing is fast . completed within half an hour . Food was plentiful but average . but up to my liking . performance was good. I enjoyed it . But everything is quite rush . end up they were clearing the dishes while I’m still eating . suggest to reduce the dishes or lengthen the performance ?

it was a nice experience with the Hanfu custom and make up and photography with my family. we have a great time, the food taste not bad and customer service is tip top. appointment need to book thought WeChat and take note the slots are only available 2 weeks in advance. we are likely to manage to book and get to sit together as there are 5 of us.

We booked earlier on a Klook sale but couldn’t make a booking on WeChat until a week before the show. Customer Service managed to extend the expiry date for our voucher for us, so that was much appreciated. Had to use 小程序 for booking. Choose the full hair and makeup option if you love taking photos. You can choose costumes from Tang/Ming etc. Dynasties. Good to come with an idea of what you want. Food is actually delicious and filling. Our VIP seats served us at with 1 crab each. There’s child priced ticket for kids below 130cm. My kids who are not strong at Chinese enjoyed the show.

What a feast! The venue is so beautiful, staffs are so patient and helpful. They did the amazing jobs to helping us choosing costumes, dresses up and makeup. Food and performances were spectacular, we cannot give any negative feedbacks about it. 10/10 definitely want to go again when we’re back in Shanghai.

I had a great experience. Although the story was performed in Chinese, you could still understand it through the actors' gestures. I also requested a vegetarian dish (I think the cook thought vegetarian meant vegan, so there was no egg—it was mostly stir-fried veggies). Although the vegan food was so-so, I really enjoyed the performance.

The experience was fantastic! The location is abit far from the metro station, took around 15 minutes to walk (and it was raining that day but luckily we found the place!) Once we entered the place, we were immediately greeted by the staffs wearing beautiful dynasty clothes. After checked in at the counter, we were brought to select our desired traditional clothes, and the staff helped us to change ❤️ Then, they started to put make-up on us~ They were super fast and professional on the makeup session! The makeup was applied seamlessly and looks natural~ We took alot of pictures 😆~ About the dinner session, there were around 10 dishes plus some appetizers, but the food portion is abit small, some tasted nice and some I find it normal. On the seat selection, honestly I think each of the seats are worth enough to enjoy the show, but if you want to take a closer look, would suggest the seat besides the middle stage. In conclusion, it was definitely worth a try!
