Shanghai Bund BBQ Party JUJU Is Back — This Time Taking Over the Old Cannery Spot

Korean BBQ joint JUJU, which went dark in 2020 due to the pandemic, is reopening at the former Cannery location on Yuqiaqing Road in mid-September. Whether the ¥288 all-you-can-eat deal makes a comeback is still up in the air.

Shanghai Bund BBQ Party JUJU Is Back — This Time Taking Over the Old Cannery Spot

The name JUJU rings a bell for anyone who remembers what Shanghai Bund nightlife was like a few years back. It opened in 2019 at Three on the Bund, built around a "grill and chug" party vibe — all-you-can-eat BBQ paired with free-flowing drinks, soju shots one after another, plus live karaoke. It was the kind of place where dinner turned into a dance floor. It couldn't survive the pandemic and shut down in October 2020.

Now JUJU is back, and it's picked an interesting spot for its comeback — the old Cannery location on Yuqiaqing Road. That's no coincidence: JUJU's original concept was actually dreamed up by Cannery founder Mark Klingspon, so this is essentially the same guy relighting the grill in his own former space, just under a different brand he built.

As for whether the old ¥288 all-you-can-eat deal will make an exact return, that hasn't been confirmed yet. More likely, it'll be reserved as a limited-time offer for special events rather than an everyday thing. What's for sure is that the vibe won't get tamed down — expect the same affordable, laid-back, street-style energy, with soju bombs and live karaoke still very much part of the package.
