Super variety of Dimsums. The main course is also good. It is on the expensive side. Gets really noisy when full as the tables are tooooo close to each other.

Really tasty food, great cocktails (probably my favorite in London so far), super spacey interior in the basement and such a vibe. Definitely would recommend for corporate meetings, date nights special occasions or a fun place to go out to eat and drink with friends. Do not miss out on all the dim sum!

Absolute tourist trap. The food wasn’t bad, but the portion size was very small. The Service here was abysmal. We were served two bottles of water at 6£ each when we asked for tap water for the table. Food took a long time to arrive despite not being busy. The atmosphere was super weird. There were spotlights above focussed on specific positions on the table which meant only one person could read the menu. The table are very small and couldn’t hold more than three dishes. Would not visit again, nor worth a visit.

The food is delicious, only the cabbage in the set meal tastes average. It's a bit expensive, costing 80 pounds per person plus service charge. But the ingredients are really good, there are scallops in the siomai, and the pepper fish uses large pieces of sea bass from Chile. But the service did not match the level of consumption. There was only one waitress with long curly hair who was full of energy, and the other waitresses were a bit dull. There were white Asian men and women at our table, but there was a waiter who only explained the food to white men...probably not intentional, but it was very annoying.

We were not treated very well. Despite having a reservation, we were initially taken downstairs to a claustrophobic table between two families while loads of available tables were empty upstairs. Finally, we asked to go upstairs and sat at a comfy table in a brighter environment. Our waitress was very friendly and sweet and cared for us. Nice food. I particularly enjoyed Singapore noodles and dim sum. Flower tea is okay; it's very subtle. Maybe we will come back. By the way, the Michelin Star is gone, as the chef who has the star left this restaurant in 2019. So should the price be this expensive?

The dim sum overall was a bit salty, but it was the most delicious dim sum I had in London (except for ‘Cheonjanggeo’, which disappeared a long time ago). The service is great and the atmosphere is unique and sophisticated. I think I will visit again.

The second branch is much more successful in every parameter. Our waitress pretty much abandoned us in favor of a more spacious table of 8... Lobster and shrimp dim sum are really great. Fried crab is too spicy and uninteresting, covered in almonds for no purpose. It was nice to have dessert on the house because we were celebrating a birthday

A great evening thanks to Hanita our waitress We've had a friends get together celebration at Yauatcha Soho and upon arrival decided that it is best that our waitress will decide what to order. Hanita did an amazing job in selecting the food and drinks for us. She made a perfect choice of dishes from dim sums to duck to wok to noodles, combined with the place's signature cocktails. Many thanks Hanita for making our evening an unforgettable one.

Mi dispiace segnare una valutazione così bassa, perché il locale è di livello (dall'accoglienza alla qualità della ricerca sui cibi) e per questo merita i prezzi che richiede. Ma proprio per questo non accetto il fatto che, dopo aver prenotato con largo anticipo, mi abbiano fatto accomodare in un tavolino stretto fra due tavolate che definire rumorosissime è poso, non si riusciva a parlare, e non è accettabile che in un posto così presentino la lista dei dolci precisando che fra i dieci e dodici elencati ce ne è disponibile solo uno... Sì, peccato. Anche perché l'attesa al banco cocktail è da film, il servizio professionale e gentile, ma il rumore folle l'ha reso inospitale.

Under Hakkasan umbrealla but *FAR from* Hakkasan. DOOR MAN - abrupt. WELCOMING STAFF: warm, friendly,engaged, but also busy doubling up as closet runners to hang your jackets. AMBIANCE/AESTHETICS: people were VERY very casual. I was furious, mY partner & I dressed up to celebrate her birthday - upon arrival I realised we could’ve just arrived in jogging set and trainers. Maybe the staff recognised the “disappointment” on our faces when they saw us panning the room, but we were ushered quickly to the “bar” which was length of about a Volvo estate and about as wide… (it was narrow and crammed). From there we were taken to our table - downstairs, and placed right beneath the stairs in view of back and forth traffic - suffice to say we asked to move. The staff were accommodating and moved us as requested. Downstairs is slightly nicer than upstairs, but as they say first impressions count, and ours were very low by the time we were seated. I was fuming. FOOD: Good, tasty, priced reasonably for what you get, (it’s soho after all). WAITERS: Unkept, nor refined. No different to going to Nando’s. They were rushed, no elegance or flair to their table/customer experience etiquette. ETIQUETTE: Throughout the evening we encountered about 3 different waiters and they all had a knack of leaning very intrusively into our table when serving, it wasn’t pleasant, one even reached over my partner’s head to place her food. ALCOHOL: We didn’t drink any alcohol on this occasion, but I did order 2 mocktails BUT whatever we were given was flavoured water with ice. Charged at £10ea. I was vex for sure. SUMMARY: Cramped, far cry from Hakkasan/fine dining experience for a date night, more like “I’m out in soho with friends , where can I get good food from and chill “. POINTLESS DRESSING UP: You’ll have wasted your time. Lower your expectations. And given that there are not many #yauatchaSoho pics on IG - take heed! “BIRTHDAY” ACKNOWLEDGMENT: A miringue biscuit with a candle. lol. My parter didn’t even want to take a picture ON HER BIRTHDAY NIGHT! Spend: £200-£250

Been to Yauatcha several times before and food still very good on most recent visit. However service, although efficient, was soulless and the focus seemed to be on getting food out as fast as possible so as to turn table around as fast as possible. I'm not stumping up £100 a head (one cocktail and 250ml lower price wine) for that. And the nerve to leave prompt for tip on the machine after adding 13.5%. I will leave Yauatcha to the tourists.

Chairs are too low, if you are below 5’3 then I guess it will be comfortable. The chairs are too small as well making it difficult to sit. Place is so loud and overstimulating the tables are next to each other. The portions are so small, only one spring roll and one bun in the spirit menu, portions are a joke for a normal person. Beef was cold and poorly seasoned, fish tasted artificial, best dish would be the plain rice. Long time waiting, only to receive mid quality food, a 5/10 at best and only tastes good because from waiting so long that the food becomes edible. I would never go back to this place ever again. Blacklock is only five minutes away, so is Koya and Taro…

Almorzamos allí hoy, decisión de última hora ya que estábamos cerca. Anteriormente tenía una visita poco brillante hace unos meses, pero encantado de decir que esto era de primera categoría. Es mi restaurante chino favorito de Londres. Mi esposa y yo comimos Char Siu Bao, albóndigas de langosta, soplo de venado, tostadas de gamba y un cuarto de pato crujiente con tortitas. Todo delicioso, particularmente el pato que fue el mejor que he tenido, con la piel crujiente muy clara. El servicio fue puntual, incluyendo panqueques extra y acompañamientos que aparecen sin nuestra petición, gran atención y anticipación de nuestra camarera. Realmente agradable y tan complacido Yauatcha está de vuelta en forma

Bebí bebidas antes de la cena en el bar que terminaron costando £ 30! Si bien el ambiente era muy agradable y pedimos algunas nueces para acompañar nuestras bebidas (el barman sugirió galletas de gambas) me pareció enormemente caro, incluso para los estándares de Londres. Especialmente porque había cargo por servicio añadido y una propina solicitada en la transacción de la tarjeta de crédito (estábamos de pie en la barra)

Absolutely loved my experience at Yauatcha. The dim sum was excellent and the ambience was superb. The cheung fun was to die for and is a must order and so is the soft shell crab - either in the bao bun or by itself. The servers also brought out a little birthday macaroon once they found out it was my brother's birthday which was a lovely touch.

The place looks nice, but that’s it. As a HKer, I didn’t have expectations of it matching the flavour that you get back in Hong Kong, but the food was mediocre at best. I’ve had better food in other Chinese restaurants in London’s Chinatown at a way more affordable price. This restaurant slaps on fancy ingredients on its menu and raises the price exorbitantly, but is lacking in taste and quality. The cheong fun and har gow’s skin is mushy and soggy, the siu mai was almost bland and the venison puff’s pastry was soggy and gross. The atmosphere is very strange as well, normally dim sum is served with Chinese teas, but people seem to enjoy theirs with alcohol instead. Overall, zero authenticity, unreasonably high price for lacklustre food. I do not recommend this place.

Excellent! It was my second time dining there. We got to enjoy a cocktail at the bar first. The cocktails were very nice. My favourite was the lychee cocktail. We had a nice corner table downstairs, which in my opinion is the nicer floor. The atmosphere is dark and sexy. The service was outstanding. Shout out to Nicole for taking such good care of our table. All of the staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. They did a great job in explaining all of the different dishes. The dumplings are just delicious and I would definitely recommend. Our Favorit was the prawn and chive dumpling, as well as the lobster dumpling. We also had the prawn wontons and the mushroom Chung fun, which are so tasty and worth a try. As main dishes we went for the fish curry and rib eye beef. Both dishes were full of flavour and we enjoyed every bite of it. The egg fried rice and Singapore noodles were very good. The wine was excellent and the wine menu was extensive. The price was reasonable. The overall experience was amazing! For sure I’ll be back!

Credit where it is deserved the kitchen operates with commendable precision and on all occasions we have visited the food was great. In stark contrast is the service. Each time the staff see inattentive lack any real service or care and generally carry a rather poor attitude. Almost to a point where just not worth visiting unfortunately. On the last occasion the washrooms were in a poor state as was the manners on display. Not asking for the world just basic kindness towards paying guests.

After some business meetings, we were so hungry and went into this place which was taken by my friend. It was my first time and it wasn’t the usual Chinese decoration but it was nicely done. We walked in with no booking and it was not a problem. Dim sum combo was tasty with fancy colours, the other 2 dishes were also delicious. Tea is yummy too. The price in comparison is on a high end so it was a good job food and service reflects on the price.

Read a lot of good reviews about this restaurant. So we decided to go to dinner at the place for our first evening of our London stay. The place is nicely decorated. Our table was in the basement but it’s ok too. The service is very nice. Almost exceptional! We took one set menu. We didn’t like the quality of the food. Sea bass fish was tasteless, the pak choi was cheap quality. Dim sum was ok, beef quality was very nice but the recipe was like any Chinese fast-food, and the Sanbei chicken was not nice quality as well. So for that price we won’t recommend this restaurant. The French dessert was good but very small.

Such an awful dining experience…… 😡 I was hoping for an authentic Chinese restaurant with a decent atmosphere when I booked a place at Yauatcha and took my clients there. But it turned out to be the biggest mistake I've made recently. This restaurant provided everything completely opposite as to what I was hoping for. It was ooookolooverpriced even for London and for SOHO. The lighting was so poor and dim. The food was only just ok and not at all matched their price. 3 small dishes for 66£??????? There was not a single Chinese waiter or waitress (no discrimination. But for a Chinese restaurant not having any Chinese staff is a BIG RED FLAG) Overall: Totally disappointed, won’t recommend it to anyone, not worth your money, just don’t go there. I have no idea where all the good reviews come from.

We booked a celebratory lunch for my daughter's birthday.We had eaten here many years ago when it was owned by mr Yau and the food was then excellent..However,now the restaurant and its food are a pale shadow of what it once was...we ordered 2 set menus and a couple of extra dishes between the 3 of us..to be honest, the food was mediocre at best and completely overpriced..We sent back one dish as the coating/batter was stale tasting and it was replaced with another dish which was also inedible.My daughter ordered a "Mocktail" and it was indeed a mockery..please see photo of this drink before and after the massive iceberg within was lifted up(priced at £12) The only redeeming feature of this place is the staff/service who were friendly and efficient but sadly let down by the kitchen and surely,ultimately,the management.We made our thoughts clear to the waitress and on leaving a very pleasant reception manager spoke to us and offered us apologies and her business card but no remedy. The Bill,by the way,was £262. Avoid this place like the plague.

The food could have been better, the dishes we're overly bulked up with red peppers and onions, both things that I like, but where is the variety? Also the protein in all the dishes was used quite sparingly. Presentation was also a bit underwhelming considering the price of the meal. The service however was the real let down, my waiter wasn't knowledgeable about the menu or drinks and wasn't able to make good recommendations, this is down to training, so the waiter isn't to blame. On top of this, when I signaled one of the managers to come over quickly, he looked at me an then flat out ignored me! No one came to me once while I was sitting with my family to ask me how my meal was and if everything was okay. When I finished, I paid up and walked out, again the waiter and manager didn't bother to say goodbye. Overall, they've dropped the ball since the last time I went and I won't be going there again, a real shame because I used to enjoy Yauatcha.

This restaurant was a unique adventure in dining for us. As an American with my Chinese wife, we wanted to have dim sum in London and we are happy we chose Yauatcha. It is very different from the usual dim sum that we may enjoy in San Francisco or Guangzhou or Hong Kong. We had the Supreme Dim Sum combination plus some side dishes. Each dish is a creation inspired by Chinese dishes with unique additions from the chef's imagination. They were all excellent, each a work of art and a unique taste experience. We see why they earned a Michelin star.

Food is very good though a bit pricey and not a lot of varieties. Service is warm and attentive.

We came here for dinner on the recommendation of a friend. Visiting Yauatcha is a must for him every single time he's in London and now I know why. Cantonese cuisine and dim sum of the highest quality! A real treat and an unforgettable experience of Asian cuisine. We'll definitely be back next time we're in London.

The Cheung fun (the sliced white roll) is to die for. Special mention to the pink and the green dumplings too (seafood black truffle and mushroom but I can remember which was which). The venison puff is very good too, but is obviously less exotic (not to mention authentic) as tastes just like a very good pie. While looking great and cute in their goldfish shape and color, the sea bass dumplings are just that, which is of course taste fresh and good. Siu mai dumplings and Char Siu buns were as expected. Overall, I find the restaurant better and more authentic than Hakkasan, with similar levels of service and atmosphere (I personally prefer Yauatcha’s decor, but this is a matter of taste). Maybe it was because of the street market, but the outdoor seating area was smaller and less nice than in my memories, so we took the offer to seat inside. Downstairs is nice, but ask to be seated on the ground floor if you prefer a brighter environment.

Solid dim-sum but ambiance and service lacking.

Very delicious Asian food specialized in Dim Sum. Everything we tried was very delicious. The crab baths, the spectacular dumplings and the very delicious duck.

Food was hit and miss. Dim sum was really yummy, but the soft shell crab was gross - tasted like pond water (the fact that we ordered the bao and was mistakenly given the crab added salt to the wound. Tho we didn’t bother complaining so can’t hold that against them). The noodles were bland and oily. Also I expected more of a nice atmosphere for such a high end restaurant.

Pretty nice food and super good service. But! Overpriced and small portions. Din Tai Fung is probably better and Ye Ye’s too (and less pricier).

To be honest pretty underwhelming , the dim sum we ordered was good except one dish with lettuce and soy mince which made no sense . It was like they forgot how to cook it and dumped it in a bowl. The occasion was a special one for me and my wife so it was more about enjoying the moment ,but the service started off great with a kind polite lady in a head scarf taking our order , taking interest and holding polite conversation but then halfway though the meal we got some sweaty bumbling idiot who wouldn’t leave us alone to enjoy our meal . Constantly interrupting us and then tried to bring the desert menu out when we still had dishes to come . Basically fishing for tips in the most obvious rude way . Really disappointed this kind of service should not be acceptable and quite frankly embarrassing. The manager who was in the floor seemed more interested in talking to her friends than sorting this out. Don’t make the mistake I made there’s better food and dining experiences London at this price it’s just become tourist trap

Great atmosphere, we sat downstairs, they managed to create a unique atmosphere at a lower ground floor, which isn’t obvious. Food was very high quality, but not justifying the price.

Had a meal here with the family last night. A classy restaurant compared to the others that we’ve been in Soho. The price would reflect that. We enjoyed the food especially the cheung fun with crispy bean curd wrap. The toilet is clean. We were sat at the level below. The oolong tea was nice, it has a hint of fruitiness to it.

The most unforgettable impression is noise. It was so noisy that we could barely hear each other. Foods are pale and plain, most of the dim sums taste similar and indistinguishable. Yet without ordering wine or lobster, three of us paid £250 for the meal. I would rated it outrageous.

Wir haben sehr gut gegessen. Die Bedienung war äußerst zuvorkommend und sehr bemüht. Letztendlich ist es ein lauter Ort, ein modernes Restaurant mit mehreren Barkeepern hinter der Bar, die unaufhörlich Cocktails mixen und zwar mit sehr viel Eis. Wir haben uns aufgrund der Eismengen für Tee und deutsches Bier entschieden. Das deutsche Bier hatte jedoch mit deutschem Bier nichts gemeinsam und schien extra für den Export gebraut worden zu sein. An dem Essen gibt es nichts zu kritisieren. Auch das schwarze Interieur trifft unseren Geschmack. Außerordentlich schöne Desserts. ABER: für unsere Ohren ist der Lärmpegel nicht erträglich. Wir möchten uns beim Essen in Ruhe unterhalten können. Der Krach stresst unsere Ohren. Dies ist auch der einzige Kritikpunkt.

The food was amazing, as was the service! We got there as one of the last bookings of the night, so had to order quickly, however the service was still great. The atmosphere was alright! We were in the big booth so the chairs were quite low with the table, but other than that, still comfortable enough. Would highly recommend!

Excellent place for fresh and authentic Thai food.

Wow, I couldn't say anything good, I guess. They have a dish, the typical rice bowl, that you have to choose if you want it with beef, pork or fish. They serve you a burning bowl with uncooked meat that you have to turn and it is made with the rest of the ingredients that they put. You have to put on a sauce that they make and in the end a mess is formed with overcooked meat (because the bowl doesn't stop burning for even an hour) and you always burn yourself. Not to come back :)

Ordering it online doesn’t work. Tried it lots of times and they make me wait 2 hours and they end up not delivering the food. Terrible service.
