Yauatcha City in City of London, Westminster

Great food, good service, nice drinks. At little loud but not too bad.

Overall a disappointing experience. The restaurant is known for its dim sum and those were indeed very good, but the other dishes we ordered were run of the mill, easily to be had at a far lower price at any half decent Soho Chinese restaurant.

Yauatcha offers fantastic food with an elevated atmosphere that attempts to justify the steep prices. Food was fantastic, cocktails very aesthetically pleasing. But a note on the customer service: I was served by various different servers who would pop in and out, all with different levels of friendliness, some would stay for a chat and some wouldn't look at you twice.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Yauatcha City with a group of 18, and while there were some great moments, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially considering the prices. Ambience: The restaurant has a sleek, modern design, with a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great spot for a special occasion, with an upscale vibe. However, with such a large group, it felt a little cramped, and the noise level made it difficult to fully enjoy the setting. Smaller groups might have a better experience when it comes to the ambiance. Food: The food was enjoyable, but the portions were disappointingly small for the price. That said, the Singapore Noodles were absolutely fantastic—the standout dish of the night! I highly recommend them; the flavours were spot on. The beef dishes were also good, but again, they were quite small in portion size, and you’re left wanting more. If you go, don’t expect to feel full unless you're prepared to order a lot more (which quickly drives up the bill). Service: Service was a bit of a letdown. While the staff were polite, there were a few issues that marred the experience. They topped up our water glasses throughout the meal without mentioning that each bottle cost £6. This felt a bit sneaky, especially when you’re already paying a premium for the food. To add insult to injury, one of my friends brought a birthday cake, and we were told it would cost £5 per person for them to serve it. This would have actually cost more than the cake itself, which felt pretty ridiculous. Overall: I would consider returning to Yauatcha City, but with a few things in mind: don’t go in hungry, as the portions are small, and keep expectations realistic. The food is tasty (especially the Singapore Noodles!), but you’ll need to manage your appetite and budget. It’s a decent place for a special occasion, but don’t expect to leave feeling completely full or thrilled about some of the hidden charges.

I recently visited Yauatcha Broadgate and had mixed feelings about the experience. The food was undoubtedly delicious, and the ambiance was great, but the service left much to be desired. First, we were told the water was complimentary, but we were shocked to find 7 bottles of water added to the bill. The staff kept topping up our glasses without asking, which felt sneaky. Additionally, one of my friends had to wait over 25 minutes for her food, while others at our table, who ordered later, received theirs first. The staff also lacked attentiveness and friendliness, which made the service feel subpar. Another issue was the £5 per person charge to serve your own cake, which seems excessive. A corkage fee would make more sense. While I’d be willing to give Yauatcha another try, I hope management improves the service and clarifies policies like the water and cake charges.

We came for the Saturday only unlimited dimsum menu. The opening negroni was very good and was decently strong. I preferred the steamed dimsum to the fried/baked but the standouts were the purple dimsum with truffle and the baked venison puff. Main meals were decent sized and fairly good without being amazing. Rice was good portions too. Final pudding was very "meh" didn't do anything for me. The venue itself is nice with good views from the window seats but our table got a bit cold when the front door downstairs was open. They need a heater over the entrance door to help with this. I like Yauatcha City overall but will probably stick to SoHo branch as is easier for me to get to. Unlimited brunch offer was Good value if you eat a lot like me.

I had a disappointing experience at Yautcha City, and unfortunately, it was largely due to the poor service. The waiter we had seemed completely unprepared to provide a smooth dining experience. Firstly, there was a significant language barrier that made communication difficult. When I asked for a magnum-sized bottle of wine, he had no understanding of what I meant, which is frustrating for a restaurant of this caliber. The situation only worsened when the bill arrived. Our total came to a hefty £520, which included a 60 GBP service charge (13.5%). To my surprise, the waiter then asked for an additional tip to be added on top, despite the service charge already being included. When I questioned him about this, asking whether the service charge covered the tip, he told me that the service charge didn’t go to him at all, and only the extra tip would. This was incredibly unprofessional and felt like an attempt to manipulate the situation. This kind of service completely ruined what could have been an enjoyable evening, and I won’t be returning to Yautcha City. It’s a shame that such basic aspects of customer service were

Very disappointing Peking duck - the restaurant menu indicated "full duck" with a price tag of 110 pounds... we were expecting a full duck, but the dish arrived, it was only 12 canapes of duck skin. Very, very disappointing and still famished, we ordered an additional fish. Same ! just a little dish of 8 bites of fish! The rest of the dishes were rather small size and not generous. Atmosphere-wise, It looks like a restaurant for corporate lunches.

Very delicate dim sum - great for people who are looking for dim sum with a twist.

Not worth the price, not that tasty to me as I’m a Chinese. The beef was too salty as well as the chicken. The desserts were too sweet tho they looked delicious. It’s better for a business occasion. The new cocktail tasted good and I would recommend. We spent around £200 for this meal and cocktail.

Had high hope for this visit, expecting a Hakkasan type of experience and quality. On arrival we found ourselves in the main dining area which included a drunken screeching woman (it being Christmas and all of that) noise polluting the entire area, with management just letting her get on with it. Not a good start. We ordered a dim sum platter to start, they were either under or over cooked and generally tasteless, with low flavour profiles (unlike those that cost about the same price as hakkasan which are heavenly) only the accompanying sauces made them enjoyable. The mains weren’t great either, I had garlic prawns which lacked any subtly, my friend the spicy see bass half of which he left, the rice was awful too wet soggy , clumpy, undercooked mounds. It was very clear this kitchen didn’t care, lacked attention to detail, wasn’t skilled, was just churning out dishes.. For £140/head (for just dim sum, a main each, rice, vegetables and a glass of wine each) you have a right to a good experience. Ours was really poor. I wouldn’t either go back to this place or recommend it.

Lovely food good guidance from server great value

Totally overpriced for what can only be described as very average food. Always happy to spend money for food with the expectation of quality. This place disappointed. What's worse is they didn't even know how to make drinks either. Apparently a vodka with mixer was too complicated.

It’s a busy business lunch place - we went there for a festive business catchup. We ordered a few dishes (veggies & dimsum) and a sea bass curry to share. They got the wrong sea bass on order(their mistake as our guy actually compared the curry to the aubergine dish we ordered). They took it back and our curry did not come until we finished the rice, veggies and pretty much everything. It’s fine to get it wrong but no apology, no semblance of being affected by their dampening our Christmas lunch was frankly quite rude. And in the bill they had put the original sea bass in and taken it out calling it a festive discount 🤯 Anyways after explaining everything we got a half apology! Sigh. I used to like this restaurant

Sadly our experience was less than acceptable. Our waiter was indifferent and less than welcoming. As a result I was not happy to pay the optional service charge and the manager came over to apologise as a result and managed the situation well. The mushy red pepper in the sweet and sour pork dish didn’t help.

The meal and service was excellent today at Yauatcha City.

Just impeccable! Best tried during the week in the evening. Brilliant arched architecture for this high-end restaurant located on the 1st floor. Sumptuous design worthy of the best modern US films. Barista at the top of their game with eminently well-prepared cocktails. On the plate side, the quality of the Vegan Menu was very good, sometimes succulent. High taste experience, high-end clientele. Well done !

From the moment I arrived I was well taken care of. My companion being slightly delayed. The whole team were polite, friendly, welcoming & accomodating. The food was fresh & delicious. And plentiful! Michael & his team were a delight. My first time but definitely not my last.

the waiters here were extremely rude and unprofessional. I had gone through a lot of effort to organise a big surprise birthday dinner for my girlfriend and invited all her friends so we were a big group. The plan was when we walk in all our friends will begin singing happy birthday to surprise her, but before we could even finish singing happy birthday to her, one of the waiters bumped into me with his arm from behind ruining the moment straight away with his tray of drinks. He had no decency or respect to wait a few seconds to let us have our moment. And another waiter who was serving us was swearing in French at the end of the night because the owner of the restaurant agreed to remove the £55 birthday cake charge which we bought ourselves to the restaurant. Disgusting staff even after we spent over £1200 on the bill that night. Never going here again

Después de haber visitado este restaurante muchas veces, me entusiasmó traer a mi marido a él. Como vivimos en el extranjero, había relatado con entusiasmo mis viajes allí a lo largo de los años. Para nuestro viaje de 20 aniversario a Londres, elegimos aquí para celebrar con amigos y familiares. La suma tenue y los platos principales eran encantadores, sin embargo, los bollos char siu eran demasiado suaves y se desmoronaron. El camarero se llevó la ensalada de pato con la mitad todavía en el plato. Teníamos un montón de sobras del plato principal, ya que estábamos llenos, así que pedimos que se empacara para llevar. El camarero enojado se lo llevó y parecía disgustado con nuestra petición. Luego esperamos nuestro desierto que se incluyó en el menú de prosperidad. Después de esperar 20 minutos, preguntamos al camarero dónde estaba el desierto. Luego dijo que no creía que lo quisiéramos y que estaba esperando que lo solicitáramos. Todavía no sé por qué no pensó que queríamos un desierto que estuviera incluido - de cualquier manera lo hubiéramos tomado como fuera que ella tomó la decisión por nosotros... muy decepcionante. Mi opinión anterior era de 5 estrellas y me entristece ahora reseñar con solo 3 y eso es ser generoso

Saturday brunch is fantastic. They have adapted the menu to be lactose intolerant. Thanks to Arron for his attention

I eat at top restaurants almost every day and I often go to Hakkasan, Zuma and Roka and unfortunately Yuatcha city is miles off… I’ve eaten at Yuatcha in Soho and it was much better as well… The Chilean sea bass was well over cooked, the lobster dim sum was equally bad Duck salad was okay as was the soft shell crab bao bun. But other than that really not great food..

Such good service! Outstanding food. Love this place x

Food was delicious and the service was good. The atmosphere/ ambience and seating wasn’t the greatest and the menu for me was limited.

Después de un largo día, necesitábamos un lugar para comer y Yauatcha parecía bueno. El lugar estaba ocupado, pero estábamos sentados rápidamente. Se pidió una variedad de dim sum y cuando finalmente llegó la comida era excelente Recomiendo encarecidamente la versión de hojaldres - la pastelería era en copos y el relleno era precioso. Los bollos char sui bao eran celestiales El único problema que tuve fue que podría haber comido más de todo lo que llegó. Por los precios de Londres, estaba bien, pero valió la pena.

Very enjoyable experience Food was lovely, service was excellent And a wonderful night with great company 🤤

Delicious food, lovely and attentive service. It was a real treat.

very attentive, it was the quietest i’ve ever seen it. Service was bang on as well as the food

The only people who will enjoy their food here, are only those who don't know what dim sum is. Prices are extortion, portions are small. All jazzed up with "luxury" ingredients with poor execution. £40 for tiny platters, £15 per dim sum and £22 pounds for a few strands of noodles. The funniest thing are pots of tea that has not tea leaves. Perfect excuse to charge you full price for another pot when traditional you should be able to ask for an unlimited refill. A total cost of £250 that included a service charge of 13.5% Avoid the disappointment and head to China Town. You'll get much better food for half the price.

Excellent quality and very creative flavour combinations. The place is super nice and the service is first class. I will definitely return

One of the most spectacular dining experiences I’ve had. The food was amazing, the drinks were even better, and the service across the entire really made the night very special. One member of the team who stood out to me was the manager, Pavel; he added a very personal touch to our evening and thoroughly explained each dish, made excellent recommendations, all while being very charming and professional.

Mid food and atrocious service because most clientele are city folk eating on the companies' dime

Lovely food, great value tasting menu. Desert was superb.

For me Yauatcha City will be my new haven in the hugeness of the City. I'll return to sit and chat with friends. I'll find new favourite dishes. The service was brilliant and a worker named deniz was very helpful and polite with my experience Yauatcha city

Here on my own for work. Service was outstanding and the food… amazing. Expensive but very good for it.

Highly recommend trying one of each of the dim sum platters. Ordered the lobster ball which was on the pricey side but still tasted great. Hand pulled noodles were also great, as were the bao buns.

Highly recommend this restaurant the food is stunning the service was great especially Mohammed we will be back again for sure!

Food was amazing great selection, the duck was so crispy!

One of my favourite ever restaurants. I have come here numerous times and the food is consistently brilliant. The absolute stand out dish for me is the mushroom Cheung fun.

The cost is not worth the value. The pre-set menu for 2 people brings too much food that one couple cannot possibly finish, and that goes to waste, instead of providing a wider range of dishes in smaller portions. Or simply something cheaper for less food. The cocktails are unreasonably priced and the ambiance, though trying to be “quiet”, is loud, with added music that is also too loud. Service was great, some food items really interesting and well presented, but way too expensive in the end. Apple Maps shows it as a 2 out of 4 dollar signs - it should be 4 out of 4 dollar signs for price.

I was recently at Yauatcha for dinner with my colleagues. Amongst the different dishes I tried, loved the drunken chicken wanton, prawn cheung fun, and the dumplings. Didn’t like the kwetio noodles. While they are well known for their desserts, I couldn’t try any. Loved the hospitality, and how professional the staff who served us were.

Amazing service and food. Really enjoyed it as always.

We had a lovely relaxed dinner here, only one note is if one person has the quarter crispy duck as their main, make sure to ask it comes at the same time as the other mains or you’ll be eating alone until they fire the next main

Decidimos tener un almuerzo rápido aquí después de haber estado en su sucursal del Soho antes y estar impresionados. He cenado anteriormente aquí también, pero eso fue en 2017. Fue excelente entonces, así que con el hecho de que el restaurante todavía está funcionando, supuse que la comida todavía estaba en ese nivel. Desafortunadamente, me equivoqué. Pedimos dim sum, bacalao, fideos y arroz con agua con gas y kombucha como bebidas. El primer punto a tener en cuenta es que el servidor trajo por error q botella de agua quieta a la mesa. Eso no es gran cosa, pero como no estaban ocupados en ese momento, fue un error. Sin embargo, fue una espera de > 30 minutos para la suma mínima y una espera de 45 minutos para el resto de la comida, que mi esposo (que es asiático oriental) encontró sosa, insípida y de calidad muy promedio. Estaba de acuerdo con él. El bacalao del plato principal era diminuto, apenas tenía sabor y se cortaba en cinco trozos pequeños. No fue un recorte premium y francamente podría haber sido cualquier pescado blanco, si sabes lo que estoy diciendo allí. Tanto el arroz como los fideos eran muy sosos. Supuestamente, el arroz debía tener huevo, pero no lo vi y los fideos de Singapur apenas tenían sustancia, aparte de gambas demasiado cocidas y pequeños trozos de pulpo. Cuando vinimos a pagar la factura, había una donación de caridad “discrecional” ya agregada a la factura. Ok, bien, pero no es genial tomar el dinero de alguien sin darse cuenta de que lo va a hacer. Me gusta saber un poco sobre una organización benéfica antes de ELEGIR donar. Es solo £ 1 , pero esta no es una buena manera de obtener donaciones. Valoraciones: la suma mínima es buena pero no sobresaliente: 3 / 5 El resto de la comida: 2 / 5 Servicio: 3 / 5 son educados pero cometen errores y están repetidamente en su mesa rellenando su vaso. Casi se siente como si estuvieras comiendo con ellos. También tuve que preguntar a regañadientes cuánto tiempo iba a tomar nuestra comida principal, a pesar de haber sido solo la segunda parte en entrar, ya que entramos tan pronto como el restaurante abrió a las 12 pm. Ambiente: 2 / 5 : El personal de camareros está demasiado atento al punto de que no te dejan en paz ni un minuto. Esto estropeó la experiencia. No funcionaban así en el Soho. Nunca volvería aquí, ya que es caro solo para comer comida muy promedio que no es agradable en absoluto por el dinero pagado. No me importa una larga espera por comida, si vale la pena. Dicho sin rodeos, no está aquí. La suma mínima está bien, así que le aconsejo a cualquiera que tenga que ir allí para un almuerzo de negocios que solo los tenga.

Terrible experience. Will not be going back again. Ordered a drink which was completely bitter (Lychee cocktail) and was told that it’s not bitter. Didn’t quite understand why I was being challenged. Waiter was rude, we all ordered one rice each and only brought out 2 and said the 4 of us had to share. 5 mins later they brought out 2 more rice. Completely bad service. Will not be going again

Great restaurant in London! The food is exquisite (I wish they would open the full menu for delivery not just selected dishes) and the atmosphere is lovely. A bit noisy at times but great ambience. The team is very welcoming and nice! A pleasure overall.

We had a table for 15, and while of course the food is always fantastic at Yauatcha, I must commend Gizem for her absolute care and professionalism last night. She was kind and professional, and nothing was ever too much for her. She goes above and beyond and she stood out amongst everyone for how she still managed to keep calm and be kind managing a large group. Absolute kudos to her.

This is the best dim sum place in London in terms of food quality and service. Price is probably a bit high but worth every penny according to my taste buds. The dim sums were super fresh, and presented beautifully, creatively and generously. The staff really took time to introduce and explain the food properly so you understand what you are eating which you don't see often even in London. I also tried their signature moon cakes before which are to die for. Highly recommended!

Living on past glory. Overpriced. Tacky. Food was fine, but no better than what I could get for £20 elsewhere.

Great service, very helpful staff, fast delivery of food. Great quality of food. I feel the price could've been 10-15% lower though overall - that would've been better value.

The starters and dim sum at Yauatcha is the best part of the meal - not really fussed on the mains. All of the staff are attentive and polite however Mo went above and beyond for us and it was really appreciated. Very knowledgeable on all the Tao Group restaurants and quick to deal with any requests - he also takes great pics!

Totally underwhelming food and service. Front of house staff felt quite confused, and most of the time appeared to congregate chatting rather than tending to diners. ¼ crispy duck was generous… however, wasn’t impressed with the remains of a bao bun in the bamboo basket lid the pancakes were served in. Egg fried rice was very dry, borderline stale… distinctly not Asian, and not at all impressed with the pride/arrogance I received when I challenged. Simply impossible to eat with chop sticks, unless you want to go grain by grain. Also surprised to see Hakkasan come up on my bill… should I expect the same standard if we dine there?

Visité este restaurante anteriormente. No decepcionó entonces y no decepcionó ahora. Estaba presentando a un amigo y estaba asombrado. Servicio y atención increíble sin ser intrusivo. Muchas caras sonrientes, la comida era excepcional. Increíble volverá

Excellent restaurant. Great service, great food, great staff, great location and good prices for the top quality you get. We will definitely go back and highly recommend.

Visited this restaurant previously. It didn't disappoint then and it didn't disappoint now . I was introducing a friend and he was in awe. Service and attentiveness amazing without being intrusive. Lots of smiling faces , food was exceptional. Amazing will be back

A good selection of vegetarian options and the set menu collated all the favourites together in 3 courses. Food was tasty and beautifully presented.

One of my favourite spots for business or leisurely lunch or dinner! Impeccable service and delicious food. Always end up with a takeaway box as I can never choose with all the delicious selection!

Good tapas style menu - must like the small plate approach to dining.

I have used yauacha in Soho several times and this was my first time visiting the city. The elegant Chinese food warmed my insides. After all, Asian food is satisfying. It's an elegant size and the price is reasonable, but I think it's reasonable considering the luxurious location. The kids loved the rice flour with the cutlets in it.

Mixed feelings about the restaurant I’ve been before but it’s completely gone down hill , no vibe not feeling of luxury. Rubbish service and overall just a rubbish experience paid £250 for a meal and it’s absolutely rubbish should have ate at my local Chinese

Great venue, top quality food and a big variety. Victoria's service was very good.

Love dining here, lovely views and great staff. The food is always wonderful

Group birthday dinner for a friend. Saturday brunch menu. Exquisite food, great service and wonderful city setting

Disappointing and definitely not worth the money. Staff were awkward and not very friendly. Service was an ok pace however. I tried 3 different seafood dim sum and they all tasted very similar, pretty bland, nothing special and not better than dim sum I could get somewhere else for half the price. The only slightly interesting one was the seafood truffle one. The milk and cookies petit gateau was very good. But you can just buy the pastries separately. Don't recommend, not worth it for either the atmosphere or the food, and definitely not at that price.

Super food, excellent service, expensive. Some dishes are not what you would ordinarily find in the usual Chinese restaurants and some are sort of Asian fusion food...but good nonetheless. Superb cocktails - try the Szechuan Margarita!

Food was great, however a bit on the pricey side for what it is. The waiters kept trying to take our plates when we were still eating. As soon as we paid the bill they asked us to leave! I was with family I hadn't see for over 10 years and I really didn't enjoy being rushed out of the door by the staff. They only seems to care about filling more tables than providing a high quality service. Disappointing.

Excellent as always. I will be coming back. Loved it

As ever the food was really good, the variety is always excellent and always good quality. Unfortunately however, whilst the food was good the overall ambience and experience was not. The server was friendly but as the restaurant got busier service soon slowed, food was slow to come out and service less attentive. we also saw that an event was on so it was quite loud and it wasn’t a nice relaxed atmosphere as I had previously experienced on other visits. We also had a minor issue where our server had got a bit of our order wrong so we were left waiting for an item we expected, given the speed of service slowed this meant we were waiting quite a bit a while.

Very nice place, a bit on the expensive side but it’s worth it. I recommend getting a bunch of plates and sharing.

Yauatcha City: A Dim Sum Experience That Falls Short Yauatcha City, owned by the Hakkasan Group, has established itself as a popular dim sum destination in London. However, on my recent visit, the experience left me feeling a little underwhelmed. Getting to Yauatcha City is easy via public transport. Numerous buses stop nearby, and the venue is a short walk from Liverpool Street Station. Be aware that there is no car parking available. Look for the distinctive blue door and take the elevator to the restaurant floor. They also boast a patisserie downstairs for those with a sweet tooth. The first thing you might notice upon entering is the limited table space. While the restaurant itself isn't tiny, the tables are quite close together, making it tricky to navigate with a large group and multiple dishes. The decor is also rather plain – not bad, but certainly not opulent. Thankfully, the service was a bright spot. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. However, the food itself fell short of expectations, especially considering the price point. There are definitely better Asian restaurants offering similar fare for a more reasonable cost in the area. Let's delve into the specifics: Wagyu Beef Puff: This is one of Yauatcha's signature dishes, but the Wagyu filling was rather skimpy. The pastry itself was decent, with a nice crunch, but the star of the show was noticeably absent. Spicy Soft Shell Crab: This dish lived up to its reputation as one of the menu's highlights. The crab was perfectly cooked with a satisfying spice level. Pan-fried Lamb with Red Pepper and Onion: This felt like a less exciting version of the lamb dishes offered at other restaurants. It wasn't bad, but it lacked any special spark. Salt and Pepper Lobster Tail, Mooli Cake: Disappointingly, the garlic flakes seemed to be the dominant flavor here, overshadowing the lobster itself. The batter lacked complexity, and the lobster meat portion wasn't particularly generous. Hand Pulled Noodles: These were a bright spot! The in-house made noodles were springy and delicious, especially when dressed with the provided chili oil and soy sauce. Overall, Yauatcha City is an average Asian restaurant. While the service is commendable and there are some decent dishes, the high price point paired with the underwhelming food leaves it feeling forgettable. There are better options out there for a truly memorable dim sum experience.

Very good and creative food; nice little bakery inside; ambience nice.

Ristorante ben curato con una varietà di cibo asiatico di altissima qualità. Ogni volta che capito a Londra è una delle tappe fisse. Veramente una esplosione di sapori nel cuore di Soho.

If you cannot to catch glimpse of sunshine this summer in London, just head to this amazing place. Their cheeky carrot cake will brighten your day and new summer collection of desserts not only cute but really tasty.

The place has a great atmosphere, food is plenty and amazing, we had the harmony set menu which in between the two of us was more then enough and we got to taste some of the best dishes. Our waiter Kevin was very knowledgeable and professional. I would really recommend trying out this experience.

Last minute dinner with friends and really wanted to try Yauatcha as had long been recommended. It was a hot sunny evening and the place was busy. It has quite a lot of background noise which I liked as you could chat and not feel you were being listened to. More of a "buzz" I would say. The food is very good. Crispy duck is not the best I've had (Min Jiang is the go to for that) but is good (shredded rather than my preferred sliced!). We all enjoyed the food and the environment. The staff were friendly and we didn't feel rushed even though it was a busy evening.

Very nice experience everything was perfect and specially the food big shout out to the kitchen

Four years ago I had left a 4 star review, but revisited and I’m reducing my rating unfortunately. The food was not to the standard I expected, and the value had decreased drastically from my previous experience. My current feelings are that this is a rather pricey place for fair but uninspiring food. More thought goes into their packaging than the food. Lack lustre.

First time visit to this location and what a great surprise . We visited as a couple in the early evening and thoroughly enjoyed this very flavoursome restaurant . We had starters of Prawn toast , duck crispy rolls and chicken and prawn wantons , all were delicious with a particularly favourable nudge to the fabulous wantons. Mains were prawn and scallop noodles and another chicken dish which were both delicious . We will definitely be returning , it’s not a budget venue, but the food is very tasty and represents excellent value for the superb flavours . Nice service and excellent food , see you again soon!!

Kitchen was too busy with orders and we ended up waiting over an hour for food. Did not deliver all food together - chaotic experience. Manager tried to push the blame to us by saying we should have known this was an Asian experience and that food arrives as an when it's ready. We overheard another manager tell the waiters to not take anymore orders. Food eventually came 2 hours after we entered the building. We got up and left.

I booked this restaurant as an anniversary dinner and I would not recommend. The restaurant was too busy and too loud. After we ordered the food took over 1.5 hours to arrive. We ended up leaving before the food came so if I could I would rate this restaurant a zero.

Had a business lunch today, service was terrible. Was there over 2 hours!! Waited about 25 minutes between one course and had to tell one of the staff we’d finished and could’ve move on. Never topped up our sauces the whole time. Really terrible £300 for 2 people and you’d get better service in Nando’s. I won’t be rushing back,

Had a business lunch today. Service was shockingly bad. Was in there over 2 hours. No specific waiter, seemed unorganised and a complete shambles. Waiters walking past our table when it was obvious we had finished a course. Waited about 30 minutes between one course and in the end I had to tell them. Was really looking forward to it and majorly disappointed. I won’t be back, loads of better places in city where you get proper service.

Amazing food, service and vibe. Everything we ordered was brilliant.. definitely worth the money!

Great location near Liverpool Street Elizabeth line entrance. Lots of space with quietness to talk and good window views. Exceptional quality Chinese food: beautifully presented, subtle and strong flavours, and obviously freshly made.

Once upon a time , i went to a place which was in london and i was scared being a vegetarian , bt that place turned out a haeven for me. All the dimsums are still in my dreams and i cant get over them.

Was first time having lunch here . Food and service was excellent . We had the taste of Yauatcha menu for restaurant month . Overall this was a nice menu and starters and mains were generous . However was a bit bemused by dessert , this consisted of two beautiful but small round deserts that we were given to share with large desert spoons . Would prefer to have own dessert with a smaller spoon . This wasn’t mentioned on the menu .staff were friendly and attentive . Overall ambience was okay but what marred the experience was how grubby and tatty the ( not so) white leather seating was . Maybe about time to get them reupholstered.

Incredible service and food was amazing, highly recommend it!

Wonderful treat to have a delicious business lunch at my favourite City restaurant!

Good food and staff, however they need to change the seats and bench covers they have - they are showing very large wear patches

We had a lunch there and was amazing, I would love to say my appreciation to the waitress Gizem, her service was spotless, she was very friendly and she made our experience unique.

We had great time in Yauatcha city. From the moment we entered the stuff was very professional. Gizem give us great recommendations and her lovely personality was cherry on top. I would highly recommend go to visit Yauatcha city and would like to Thank to all the stuff.

Very enjoyable night. Had a cocktail at their bar first, good service and then went to table. Had the set meal which was good, good selection of wine available.

Really good food and great service. Super for a business lunch or a catch up with a friend

One of the best food and great service. Close to Liverpool Station. Choose carefully for the best to your taste.

The service and food were fantastic. I look forward to returning!

Fantastic as always. From the service to the food, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. I'd recommend everyone to visit with friends, family, colleagues or a romantic dinner.

Food : excellent as always. Service : okay, but not excellent like previous visits. Staff seemed distracted. For example, waiter left behind a used glass and bottle when clearing our table before dessert, and didn't think to remove it when he returned to the table on 2 following occasions. In the end we had to pass it to him and ask to take it away. Yes it's a small point, but would expect better from this venue. However it won't put me off returning.

Excellent food, great service, the dumpling choices is exceptional
