On the food rating website Dianping.com, users showed great fervor toward the newly starred establishments. T'ang Court, where the average bill is 539 yuan ($80), received hundreds of comments on the website in the hours after its three-star award was announced.
"I made about 50 phone calls to reach an operator at T'ang Court and finally made a reservation for Oct 3," a user named Kongtai said on Dianping.com.
Michelin's Clauzel said that finding appropriate reviewers proved to be the biggest challenge for the Shanghai project, adding that most of them are Chinese.
