Wo Jia in Jing’an District is probably the best-known place for well-priced traditional Shanghaiese food. For modern Shanghai eats not on a budget, try Whampoa Club in Three on the Bund. Jade Garden is a chain, but offers legitimate local fare for reasonable prices. Hong Rui Xing also has a few different branches and gives larger-than-average portions.

If you go to Yuyuan Bazaar, on the main intersection (the big crossroads near the metro station) there is a giant building and on the side is written '老上海' - Old Shanghai. The restaurant is huge and covers 4 floors, and serves a mixture of Shanghai cuisine. The food is a little pricey but very good quality and there's masses to choose from.

Also there's a chain with two or three branches operating, called Yuanyuan (圆苑). There they serve a mix of Shanghai and Cantonese cuisine, and the atmosphere is great with pleasant service. Again, it's not on the cheap side, but it is upscale dining after all.
