The interior of Table No. 1 is an informal space featuring wood and grey brick and is flooded with natural light. Four communal-style dining tables of unfinished wood add to the sociable environment and make the space conducive for shared dining. The main dining hall and two private dining rooms are set within historic Shiliupu, once Shanghai‟s most bustling shipyard.

With a menu created to encourage interaction, the dishes at Table No. 1 come in sharing portions so guests can enjoy an informal dining experience and sample a wide variety of dishes created by the chefs.
