Best Late-Night Eats Around Town
Shanghai is a city that never sleeps. With everything in excess, there are plenty of choices for dining options to feed your soul late into the night. Here is the list of the best spots to grab a late-night bite to keep your belly full after midnight

Mrs & Mrs Bund

Posh and proper, there is already much love for this Bund favorite. Now their late night menu allows dining flexibility, whether it is an engaging dinner lasting late into the night, or as a last spot for a quick bite before heading home.
Yakiniku Kitchen Bankura

Address: 344 Changle Lu, 1F, near Ruijin Yi Lu
Tel: 021 6215 0373
Tucked away on Changle Lu, Yakiniku Kitchen Bankura has some of the tastiest bites around town. It’s a cornucopia of “tapas-styled” Japanese Yakiniku. Great for anytime of the day, especially if you are craving this after a long night.
Homeslice
Hours: Midnight Sunday to Thursday, and till 2am Friday and Saturday
Address: 158 Julu Lu, Found 158
Tel: 021 5309 9332
Is there any way to describe the sensation of how delicious pizza tastes at night? You can’t. But I can tell you how great Homeslice is: it’s beyond magical.
World of Beer
Hours: Daily, last order 12:30am
Address: 85 Fumin Lu
Tel: 021 6205 8885
Food at World of Beer is impressive to complement the gigantic beer selection. Fish tacos, sausage boards and flatbreads will satisfy any hunger pang that goes with drinking.
Hai Di Lao
Hours: 24 hours
Address: 1118 ChangShou Lu, 4FL
Tel: 021 5291 2381
There is nothing better than a hearty serving of steaming hot pot late into the night. Whether you are taking a late night break from over time, or have decided it's more fun gorging on plates of meat than nasty pick-up lines.
Bi Feng Tang
Hours: 24 hours
Address: 175 Changle Lu, near Maoming Lu
Tel: 021 6467 0628
This is the ultimate comfort food mecca. Heaps of dim sum at 5am? Yes. Or try some Stir Fried Beef Noodles with XO sauce on the side. Finish off with a pineapple bun. This is heaven and your stomach will love you for it.
Chun K
Hours: Daily last order until 1am
Address: 618 Xujiahui Lu, SML Center, 3F
Tel: 021 3115 5888
Not a traditional restaurant in any sense, but if you are not a singer among your karaoke happy friends this is the highlight of the night! Taiwanese-style noodles are the way to go. Now, let’s continue the night and belt out some tunes!
Red Cate
Hours: Daily, last order at 4am
Address: 2372 Xietu Lu
Tel: 400 6069 297
Sometimes you just want some great local cuisine with a spicy kick. Red Cate’s Sichuan style skewers carry a mix of spicy and sour, which is wonderful at night…if you can stomach it.
Shake
Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 2am
Address: 46 Maoming Nan lu, 3FL
Tel: 021 6230 7175
Shake’s Asian fusion cuisine is the highlight of the night if you fancy a late bite. Whether you are enjoying one of the many soulful musical talents or looking for a swanky & sophisticated dining spot, Shake has it all. Their slow-braised meat dishes and cocktails makes it worth coming back.
Heiseiya
Hours: Daily, 2am
Address: 323 Tianyaoqiao Lu, 1FL
Tel: 021 336 89577
Who would expect to find an authentic Japanese restaurant outside of Gubei in the heart of Xujiahui. If you live nearby, Heiseya offers incredible dinner sets late into the evening if you are ever looking for a low key place to grab a bite.
Miss Ali
Hours: Daily, 2am
Address: 133 Fuxing Zhong Lu
Tel: 021 6433 4261
Who can deny the wonderful satisfaction of a kebab on a late night? And Miss Ali, their skewers are so tender. A little pricier than the street side guy, but it is well worth the RMB when you see the big chunks of meat on the stick. Delicious and an unmistakable icon for late night noshing in Shanghai.
Brother Kebab
Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 4am
Address: 528 Nanquan Bei Lu, 1FL, Room 23; 310 Fengxian Lu; 115 Zunyi Lu; 247 Wulumuqi Zhong Lu

Who can say no to a perfectly cooked Doner in the early hours of the morning? Beef and chicken wrapped with some fries is the way to perfectly end the night.
