Why go
Josper. A charcoal-powered grill and oven. Rachel Gouk writes that RAW was the first restaurant in Shanghai to use one, and the house still calls itself powered by it. Chef-owner Juan Campos, from Spain, opened the room at 98 Yanping Road in 2016 and presents the cuts to diners himself. Gouk called it a Shanghai institution in October 2023, after a new menu and refreshed interiors. The room is small, with tightly packed tables. Time Out's 2016 review noted a central bar and a dry-aged beef cabinet.
What to order
Picanha, 300 g / 11 oz
Skirt steak, 300 g / 11 oz
UYYU Wagyu tenderloin, 500 g / 18 oz
Not published: aging.
01What to order
- Picanha, 300 g / 11 oz¥428 on the October 2023 menu. Gouk lists it among the steak cuts.
- Skirt steak, 300 g / 11 oz¥378 on the same menu.
- UYYU Wagyu tenderloin, 500 g / 18 oz¥1,188 in 2023: grilled foie gras and black truffle, flambéed with calvados. UYYU is the Uruguayan wagyu the house cooks.
- Butcher's selection, by the kiloA ribeye of 1.2 kg / 2.6 lb up to a T-bone of 3 kg / 6.6 lb, per the 2023 review. Prices are not listed there.
- Charcoal-roasted suckling goat¥688 in 2023, for the table that wants something other than steak.
02The beef
Uruguay and Argentina first, with a few Australian cuts, per Gouk. Most of it is wagyu at M6+ marbling. The house cooks UYYU, a Uruguayan wagyu, and Campos is named as its brand ambassador. The butcher's selection is sold by the kilo. The 2016 menu looked different: Chilean free-range wagyu and Argentine Aberdeen Angus, and a 1.3 kg / 2.9 lb dry-aged ribeye at ¥1,388 for three or four people. No source states how many days the beef is aged.
03The fire
The Josper is a charcoal-powered grill and oven. Gouk says it gives the food a smoky flavor. Time Out's 2016 menu was split in two: raw dishes, and dishes from the Josper. The name says wood grill, but no source describes wood being burned, so Steakpedia reports charcoal only.
04The story
Time Out reviewed RAW on May 31, 2016, as a new restaurant in the former La Stazione building and gave it four stars out of five. Gouk, in October 2023, described a refresh: new menu, new interiors, a facelift. She also notes that during Covid the owners reopened another venue as Sakaba Malabar and added Terrakota. The name Juan Campos appears in every source; one aggregator also credits a second chef, Aitor Olabegoya, which other sources do not confirm.
05The practical
Second floor, 98 Yanping Road, near Xinzha Road, Jing'an; Jing'an Temple is the nearest metro stop. Gouk lists it open every day, 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Time Out's 2016 hours ended at midnight Sunday to Thursday. Phone 021 6241 8568 (Gouk). Booking is through DiningCity. Gouk says a few tables are free for an early dinner from 5:30 p.m. and that the room is busy by 7:30 p.m. Order from the Josper.
