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.
