OUR Story

A CHINESE PASTA BAR.

Established in 2021 as a pop up restaurant out of a Shanghai nightclub cloakroom, Yaya’s quickly gained a cult-following for their innovative pastas paired with Chinese ingredients and flavors.

OUR neighborhood pasta bar quickly followed in 2022, a 40-seater ‘no fuss, no frills’ eatery next to the historic Jing An Temple, where guests sit around an open kitchen that rolls out fresh pasta daily, negronis are free flowing, and they regularly collaborate with local DJs for impromptu after-hours parties.

Yaya’s is the recipient of the 2023 Restaurant of the Year Award from That’s Shanghai Magazine, is featured in the Louis Vuitton Shanghai Guide 2024 and will embark on a roaming pop-up tour of Asia in 2024.
