Yi Zuo Yi Wang: Yunnan Wild Mushrooms in Xintiandi

Yi Zuo Yi Wang (一坐一忘) is a Yunnan restaurant in Xintiandi, Shanghai, known for its seasonal wild mushroom dishes. It is one of our Shanghai-based local guides’ favorite spots.

Yunnan Wild Mushroom Season

When summer arrives in Shanghai, temperatures can climb close to 40°C. In Yunnan, the summer rainy season marks the start of wild mushroom season.

Yunnan is famous for its incredible variety of abundant, versatile mushrooms. They are stir-fried, simmered in soups, served as sashimi, or featured in bubbling hotpots.

When cooked, especially with ham, chicken, or other meats, the mushrooms release a rich umami flavor that is difficult to describe but unforgettable once you have tried it. Thanks to fast logistics, many top Yunnan restaurants in Shanghai receive fresh wild mushrooms daily, straight from the mountains.

What to Eat During Mushroom Season

During Yunnan's rainy-season mushroom run, the menu comes alive. Start with the beautifully plated cold dishes, which frequently use citrus and local herbs to create light, refreshing flavors suited to hot summer days.

The highlight is the wild mushroom chicken soup (野生菌鸡汤). Rich, aromatic, and deeply comforting, it has the kind of flavor that words cannot quite capture. You simply have to try it.

The restaurant also offers an array of mushroom-based dishes paired with local specialties. Whether you are dining solo, treating yourself, or bringing friends and family, it is a great place to enjoy a taste of Yunnan.

The staff wear traditional Yunnan attire, adding an extra cultural touch to the experience. If you are in Shanghai during the summer mushroom season, do not miss this seasonal treat.
