FUFU: A New Dining Courtyard Hiding Behind Donghu Lu’s Old Favorites

In Shanghai for over four years now. Fitness lover. Very amateur badminton player. Love reading. Sometimes I write about the little things in this big city.

FUFU sits behind the old Sichuan Citizen and DULI, and in front of the Blaz and Fangdu Hotpot building on Donghu Lu — a stretch people mostly ignored when it was blocked off and under construction. It's now opened up into a small, layered courtyard, with exposed staircases, rooftops, and platforms linking the spaces.

A handful of tenants are open. The standout is Hikiniku to Come, the Tokyo burger spot that finally landed in Shanghai: wagyu patties grilled over charcoal right in front of you, served with cooked rice, miso soup, and a raw egg to mix in however you like. There's also Ye Ren Xian Sheng, one of China's biggest gelato chains, with its Shanghai flagship here, and Arome Manpo, a local aromatherapy and lifestyle store.

Right now it's still quiet. On weekends or sunny afternoons, you can imagine pop-ups and markets filling the space. It's still finding its style, but with more stores opening, it could easily become the next small hub people come back to.

Our full list of F&B hubs in Shanghai is right here.
