Goodman Description

We are well aware that Shanghai holds its own when it comes to burgers. Every damn Shanghai restaurant that you’ve never even heard of has some shape or form of a burger, so stakes are high, to say the least. But, Goodman – Shanghai's first and solely smash burger dedicated venue – has taken that high to new heights, summiting the proverbial fast-casual peak and rising above the pack with its climactic Classic Smash, the pinnacle of Shanghai’s lofty burger scene. 

Brought to us by a powerhouse team of Yaya’s (Andrew Moo, Dan Li, and Warren Pang) and Bastard (Jiro Hsu and Michael Janczewski) – some of the hottest names in Shanghai F&B right now – the star of Goodman’s streamlined three-item debut menu is the griddle-fried, crispy-edged, caramelized beef smash patty nestled between a plush milk bun. 

And Moo is no stranger to the smash burger, as his F&B expedition in Shanghai saw his inaugural Two Hands burger popups around town from 2018 through 2020, followed by his lauded Two Guys burger popup with Michael Janczewski at Feast 2023, the booth that ultimately started it all and from which the dream of Goodman was born.
