Food and drink street Yanping Lu keeps expanding. The latest entry on the strip is Just Pocket, a casual eatery slinging tasty pita pocket sandwiches.

Just Pocket is founder Lyn’s first venture into F&B. Born and raised in Shanghai, Lyn spent time in the Netherlands and Austria, where she noticed sandwiches were popular as a healthy grab-and-go food. But, she remarked, that cold sandwiches don’t cut it for the Chinese audience, and can be seen as “too bready.” Hence, the hot pita sandwich concept was born.

Located on the quieter end of Yanping Lu, Just Pocket has a modest space with a café vibe. On the menu are five sandwiches, a couple salads, and a requisite steak, among others. The sandwiches are very tasty and portions are perfect for lunch. Venue is dog-friendly.




For drinks, an Americano is ¥26, fresh juices are ¥45, wine by the glass starts from ¥58.
