Yauatcha (Soho)

• Upstairs is lighter and brighter than the basement level but the latter is more intimate
• The dim sum selection is fantastic and the loose leaf teas on offer leave you spoilt for choice
• Visiting London for the week and finding the good places to eat has become an absolute challenge as there are so many great restaurants with great reviews
• So I decided to try out Yauatcha for my 1st dinner in town for some dimsum and it was absolutely great
• The portions are good size as well
• As a vegetarian this is the best dim sum in London in terms of variety and in terms of stepping away from the typical vegetable dumpling
• The mushroom chung fung is also a delight
• Drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic are great and match the high quality of the food and the ambience
• Everything looked so luxurious and really was of a high quality
• I fell in love with the bbq ribs
• The food is delicious and the service is also very good and attentive
• It is hard to associate fine dining with Chinese food especially in London
• Chinese fine dining in China is like French fine dining in France
• It is a finesse show but once it is moved abroad the performance is just not the same
• The variety of dumplings is big enough to eat only that
• Nice place to invite non Chinese friends over for a taste in dim sum if they are not used to Chinatown style of crowded tiny restaurants
• On the corner of Broadwick street in Soho and glimmering with its pale blue exterior windows you walk into a restaurant with a warm and buzzing ambience
• The ground floor has a darker Lounge area with a long bar serving cocktails of your choice
• Best know for its dim sum (which is amazing and beats Royal China any day) the menu serves a great selection of contemporary Chinese dishes including small hot pots
• Noodles (the Singapore vermicelli is delicious) and rice dishes
• I've been scouting dim sum in London that is as good as Wing Tai
• The prawn and pork dishes are highly recommended and you'll get all of your dim sum favourites done to the highest of qualities
• We ordered all vegetarian options and were not disappointed
• Yauatcha (Soho) is not only for dim sum but worth visiting for tea and cake and a bit of relaxation time
• The service was good overall apart from an odd waiter who was quiet disorganised and inattentive
• The veggie dim sums and dumplings were very good along with hot and sour soup
• It was the best prawn thing I&rsquo
• Yauatcha (Soho) definitely lives up to its name and is definitely deserving of its Michelin star
• Course they are a little on the pricier side
• The dumplings are out of this world amazing &
• Despite the fact that I was going to gate crash his party only 11 days after he left
• Any excuse for a tasty meal is surely always a worthy one
• A pretty amazing place with delicious food
• Their cocktails are really delicious and the platters too
• We started off with har gau and a dumpling filled with prawn
• The har gau was bursting with its prawn filling
• Enough spice and all produce are from top fresh quality
• They have a big range of coctails and between 5 of us we tried 9 cocktails cause they were so delicious and easy to drink
• Like I said every dish was amazing but the real stand outs were the king crab shanghai siew long bun
• The truffle pork belly rib and the coconut sorbet that came with th3 passionfruit mango dome
• Their selection was breathtaking
• Lavender and Honey and Early Grey and Lemon Macaroons as we were very keen to try their macaroons
• My favorite was the Salted Caramel followed by the Early Grey and Lemon
• This was also the case with the Lavender and Honey macaroon where all you could taste was chocolate
• Yauatcha is the best Cantonese cuisine on offer in London (I've sampled the vegetarian tasting menu at sister restaurant Hakassan
• Whilst the venue is more glamorous the vegetarian food here is more imaginative)
• Emerald green garden dumplings are an excellent vegetarian appetiser and I especially recommend the vegetarian Cheung fun
• Unctuous and bursting with three types of mushrooms
• The delicate Singapore vermicelli noodles come with seafood on the menu
• I always ask for them to make me a vegetarian version with lots of crunchy bean sprouts and slivered veg and I never regret it
• The prices are surprising reasonable for a Michelin starred restaurant (I've had many satisfying vegetarian meals here that came to £
• 20/ person with judicious ordering and without dessert)
• Im not that experienced with ordering dim sum
• The tables are too close together
• Luckily I wasn't paying the other dinners any attention as we were too busy chatting away
• S dim sum selection is pretty good
• The sauces are divine and the selection of shrimp based dim sum's are my favorite
• The customer service is good but could be faster
• The dim sum is amazing and me and my girlfriends never leave the restaurant without a round of Lichee Martinis and a serving each of the mushroom and truffle springrolls
• Serving delightfully laid out macaroons and desserts which are instantly irresistible
• A fusion Asian and European menu with a wide range of selection
• M going to be completely honest with you &ndash
• T very adventurous with our ordering
• Yauatcha is a high end Chinese restaurant with branches in Soho and the City (we visited the former)
• I went on a Sunday evening for a family meal and it was definitely worth us booking in advance
• Whilst this is slightly understandable given the restaurant&rsquo
• I visited here back during autumn moon festival for their special dessert and realised why Yauatcha (Soho) was so popular
• The only thing I can slate was the staff as we had a lot of waiting around
• The only down side is that the staff can be a bit rude and aggressive
• What a great dinner I just had with my friends at this excellent restaurant
• I would have been completely happy with just a scoop (or three) of that mandarin sorbet
• Being a Chinese chef by choice was a delightful pick
• Was pleasantly satisfied with all they had to offer in yum cha ritual
• Malaysian fried rice were also next level
• An excellent restaurant with delicious food and great atmosphere
• Crispy aromatic duck with egg fried rice
• Venison puffs and char siu bun were my favorites
• Egg fried rice was ok but nothing special
• The prices are surprisingly reasonable for a Michelin starred restaurant
• Very good Chinese food in Soho dim sum were light and authentic
• The chee cheong fun 'skin' were very thin and adequately filled
• We visited the Soho outlet on a recent trip and were amazed by the interiors and the sheer size of the space
• They serve an extensive menu with ample vegetarian choice
• The portion sizes were slightly small but the taste more than made up for it
• The staff and service were nice and the food was brought out fairly quickly
• The place is a tad bit expensive but Yauatcha is an experience
• We had a reservation and the table we were given matched our reservation requests perfectly
• Lobster dumpling with tobiko caviar"
• At that point we were quite full
• We finally finished with two desserts (which were good but we couldn't enjoy them properly since we were too full at this point) and a pot of "
• I wanted to taste blue tea but was confused since there were several sorts of blue tea on the menu
• The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was wonderful
• Is one of the best deals in London
• Personally the atmosphere is a bit too glitzy for me
• One of the best experience of my life
• Doesn't know what he/she is missing out on
• Then yes this is a place to go
• Each dim sum is different than the next
• The only thing I'd have to say is that although well cooked
• My brothers and I were looking for a place to have a quick bite and thought
• Was a very soft and almost liquid like dim sum full with whole pieces of prawns
• Came in the generic dumpling shape but was green again
• The wagyu beef puff was really nice and tender
• Juicy and had a hint of sweetness which is one of my favourite things in savoury foods
• The duck roll we order was slightly on the dry side
• The hoisin sauce was very little for the amount of roll we had
• This was lunch time and was decently packed
• Anyone who loves dim sums and is in London has to try it
• Went for the first time and ordered a lot of dimsums it was very good but some of them I found very bland
• The prawns and choice dumpling was much better then all the other prawn dimsums we had from them
• Overall it is good and will come back to try the other dishes then the dimsums
• This time I thought about trying this extensively hyped Chinese place with its huge fan following for their amazingly tasty dim sum
• The moment we stepped into this gorgeous restaurant we were totally amazed on being greeted by a gorgeous case of amazing decadent desserts like chocolate truffles
• The dining area of Yauatcha (Soho) feels like a very hip nightclub with tiny lights
• The ambience of the place was really unique with enclaves in the walls with electric candles so the room is dark but candlelit
• The kitchen is visible through the frosted glass and one can appreciate the way it was run
• I am not very easy with Chinese cuisines and there very complicated menu so to be on the safe side we decided to order Chicken dumplings
• The food was served quick and was some amazing Chinese I had since quite sometime and probably the best dumplings in London
• The restaurant serves a wide range of teas that pair perfectly with any of the beauties in the elegant patisserie at the entrance
• It was slightly on the higher side but considering London and Michelin star was worth it all
• Not much to say other than the dim sums were the very very good
• Visited the restaurant Saturday evening with friends to celebrate my birthday
• Food service was chaotic but fast to arrive
• Manager called to the table offer free single drink only for me in return and with sarcastic smile said that unfortunately has nothing else to offer to us
• Venison Puff (9/10) It's impossible to not compare this with the venison puff at neighboring Duck and Rice (Also Alan Yau)
• The pastry is normally perfectly buttery with an equally decadent filling of stewed venison
• The dumpling surrounding the pork and prawn meatball is ethereally thin
• (8/10) The buns are moist and pillowy soft
• The pork within is not overly sweet as char siu often is
• King crab Shanghai siew long bun with pork (8/10) There is enough pork fat within the broth to maximize flavor while not overpowering the delicate crab within
• The dumplings are perfectly thin and do not suffer from guminess lesser iterations of this dish suffer from
• I find that the beancurd wrapped prawns that are further encased by the cheung fun noodle are texturally complex
• The bean curd adds a feint nuttiness that pairs well with the prawn and soy soaked noodles
• Offer a more complex flavor profile with the slight gaminess from the venison
• (8/10) This is not for everyone
• A lot of the joy of this dish is from a textural point
• Though the turnip is certainly at the forefront of the dishes flavor profile
• I love the contrast of the caramelized surface with the mushy interior
• I find myself adding soy to it as there is not enough preserved egg to last the entirety of the dish
• The serving is very generous
• The patisserie is not evocative of Chinese food at all
• Would go there again if we are in London again
• Yuatcha has been very popular on London's gourmet circuit with other outlets now spanning across the city
• The service was appallingly slow with attention to clientele almost missing
• The tea selection and desserts were mesmerizingly beautiful as well as tasty but without impeccable service it just left a sour taste unfortunately
• Everything was good and service was very good
• Definitely one the best place out there to eat Dim Sum
• I expected from Yauatcha nothing but the best and I certainly got it
• Service and atmosphere to the food itself I was completely blown away
• The staff was more than helpful to help us decide whether to mix sweet/sour drinks with crispy duck roll
• The food however is quite decent
• Trendy Chinese restaurant with a nice bar and music
• The food is very good with many different options
• One of the best Chinese restaurants in London
• The desserts were simply mouth watering
• We came for a business lunch during the week and service was great even at a busy time
• Particularly the cheung fun with beancurd and prawn
• Is what Yauatcha (Soho) is most known
• Crystal dumplings are briliiantly defined

• The restaurant is really nice and classy
• The dessert selection is outstanding
• I tried the sticky rice in lotus leaves with some dry prawns for the first time and I don't regret it
• Szechuan chicken is delicacy you shouldn't be missing on if are here
• The quality of food was below standards expected
• Staters came with some main meals and other main meals didn&rsquo
• All of these cute products were so beautifully crafted and cooked that I can barely find a weakness
• All main courses and a duck spring roll starter were pedestrian at best
• What never fails to entertain my taste buds are the venison puffs and prawn &
• I would also recommend having the vegetable congee with the chili squid
• Always fresh springy squid and the Chili oats work well with the congee
• Ve a lunch or dinner in Yauatcha is now a must in London
• High quality Chinese food with flavors and textures blended together traditionally yet with unique twists
• They were very understanding that a person of the party was running late
• Made sure we were seated comfortably
• A drink we got the Lime and Passion Iced Tea which was a great combination
• The second main was the crispy aromatic duck
• Great presentation and was just simply delicious
• Environment is very nice service is best
• Top tasty dish is yam cha you must try it
• The environment is a combination of a bar and a club
