Shanghai foodies, rejoice! Chubby's Noodle Restaurant, the beloved culinary gem of the city's historic old town, has officially reopened after a three-month hiatus. Known for its melt-in-your-mouth dumplings and rich broths, the eatery faced an emotional farewell earlier this year when urban redevelopment forced it to relocate. Now, nestled in a vibrant new neighborhood, Chubby's is serving up the same iconic dishes—and a fresh dose of nostalgia.
'It’s like reuniting with an old friend,' said longtime patron Li Wei, who queued for opening day. The revamped space blends modern design with retro charm, featuring vintage photos of its original location. Owner Zhang Mei told us, 'We kept every recipe untouched—our flavors are a love letter to Shanghai.'
From students craving affordable lunches to travelers seeking hidden gems, Chubby’s revival proves some traditions are worth the wait. Ready to slurp? Head to their new spot near Yu Garden—and don’t skip the sesame pancakes!
