One Michelin star. Top dishes: venison puffs, lobster and caviar steamed dumpling, spicy soft shell crab with almonds, duck salad and Jasmin tea smoked ribs. Blue tea and desserts are excellent.

DESSERTS TO DIE FOR! Flavours, combinations, texture, everything is spot on. Every single one I've tried was amazing. Whenever I eat at Soho, I go to Yauatcha and pick some desserts to take away.

I have been looking for a good dim sum place in London but none really stood out. Yauatcha is as close to Hong Kong as I can find in London. Prawn cheung fun is phenomenal. Excellent table service too

Absolutely delicious and deserving of its 1* Michelin despite being casual and very loud. Follow the dim sum menu blindly as all of it’s tasty and innovative. Staff super busy yet VERY friendly.

Good dim sum. Get the venison puff and crispy prawn cheung fun. Solid har gau. Prices are reasonable even for dinner if you order a la carte and share with a group. One Michelin star.
Geert Van LentNovember 14, 2016
The dim sum at the specialty, just try what you like. The idea is to share. My favourite is the Crispy aromatic duck, pulled and served with pancakes, cucumber and spring onions and hoisin sauce

High-glam restaurant! Dim sums and the prawn toast were tasty! Try the rib-eye beef in black bean sauce and the seabass, the winners to order!
Richard FooApril 22, 2015
One Michelin star establishment serving excellent dim sum ala carte dishes. Practically everything is great on the menu. Try the divine Venison Puff, Pan Fried Turnip Cake & Jasmine Smoked Pork Ribs.

Have as much dim sum as you can or can afford to have, enjoy a cocktail or two and make sure you leave room for desert: you get to cherry-pick them from the counter upstairs.

Large range of amazing pastries for dessert. They all are truly marvellous, I like to come there only for the cakes. Highlights were Inaya lulo & Cherry chocolate.
Ahmad AlfilimbanyNovember 5, 2018
The best Dim sum restaurant in London. I recommend the venison puff, beancurd cf, shanghai dumplings and aromatic crispy Duck 👍
BiancaFebruary 21, 2017
One of the best Cantonese restos, with excellence in preparing Dim sum. I recommend tasting around 6 dishes for a couple. Favorite ones by far: shui mai scallops and spicy pork dim sum. Amazing!
Rylan HoleyFebruary 13, 2015
Some of the best dim sum out there - definitely have the Venison Puffs. I'd say the more non-trad dim sum is better. Service is wonderful. Pretty awesome cocktails too!
Ivana KurtovićDecember 19, 2019
Try any dim sum or dessert! Best in London. They have 1 Michelin star, but are crowded and loud

Three style mushroom cheun feung is a MUST! 👌🏻 The steamed wild mushrooms, grilled shanghai dumplings and the steamed veggie dumplings are also extremely good 😋
Juli Foranna JulieroSeptember 18, 2013
Lovely dim sum try Venison puff, poached Peking chicken dumpling, Prawn and beancurd cheung fun (tofu) were Amazing!Chinese chive and prawn dumpling IS A MUST TRY! 100% delicious !
Trang BinnyJanuary 22, 2015
King prawn with tofu roll and crispy mushroom spring rolls are my fav main. For desert I love the Raspberry the most, it shapes as a rose which is so pretty
Natalia QuinteroMarch 19, 2016
Michelin starred dim sum? Yeah, we're game. All of the dumplings are worthy of the rating, but the Peking spring rolls, sticky rice in a lotus leaf (with chicken and shrimp) are also amazing

The most amazing and enjoyable experience. Excellent Dim Sum. The standouts were prawn and bean curd Cheung fun and wagyu beef puff.
Alexandre MunhozJuly 21, 2018
Yes, it’s all they say about it.. it’s great! Much more than dim sums.. try the crabs with almonds and chili. The white Negroni is remarkable... after four of those the spices feel much better!
Cenk GümüşcüoğluOctober 12, 2014
The chic Asian restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere. It actually feels like a warm Italian restaurant but it's all Chinese. Very contemporary and delicious. Be sure to make a reservation beforehand.
deniz ozkanNovember 4, 2012
Forget about the main course, just focus on the dimsums. My favorite list: Scallop shui mai, Har gau, Spicy soft shell crab, Prawn and beancurd cheungfun, Jasmin tea smoked ribs.
AndreeaSeptember 13, 2014
The 2 dishes everyone seemed to recommend (venison puffs and king crab dim sum) didn't live up to the hype. Crispy duck and lobster dim sum were amazing. For a refreshing cocktail try Sweet Khandala.

The dim sum here is amazing. I think this might have been my favorite in london. Amazing food, doesn't matter what you get, very authentic. Drinks are amazing too. Highly recommended
Emre Marcus U. ✅November 28, 2013
Amazing place... The ambiance is outstanding... All the different appetizers and main dishes we have tasted were delicious. Although it is a little bit expensive, it is worth all the money you spend
Jason H.June 24, 2015
Excellent dim sum place. Try the steamed scallop dim sum but really everything was wonderful. Service was good and the environment was classy. Well deserving of its Michelin Star.

Dim Sum, and Desserts to die for. Make sure you have the venison puff.
Nad's_ReviewsOctober 3, 2013
Scrumptious michelin dim sum with a wonderful variety of treats (dumplings and the like) right in the heart of soho. The duck salad was my favorite as it's absolutely fantastic. Top-notch service.
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑July 4, 2015
Dim sum taken to another level, everything's delicious, with some inventive/creative twists on the conventional dishes! Also a fun and vibrant venue with great service & ambiance!
Emma TNovember 14, 2012
My favourite in London. Order the venison puffs, jasmine tea smoked ribs, char sui (pork) buns, crispy duck roll, some pak choi or gai lan and whatever else you fancy plus a tea based cocktail! Oh yes

Cockatils, food, desserts, service, athmosphere. All is good here, reasonably priced and yes, you should go as often you can

EYUP rocks, go find him! Eat CHEUNG FUN (prawn&beancurd), SESAME PRAWN TOAST; SCALLOP SHU MAİ; Drink ginger martini OR kura mi ami martini OR citrus martini (lots of passion fruit in it). PERFETTO!!
Hani DawkinsMay 13, 2015
Very crowded place with yummy dim sum.. my favourite dim sum place in London.. try the baked ones.. the pastry is heavenly! The only place with Chinese food + French dessert!!
Maria GiordaApril 9, 2014
I don't know about the dim sum but the dessert bar is perfect if you want to have a different night out. Incredible atmosphere and spectacular dishes. Go for Raspberry with Lichee ice!
Mariliis RetterMarch 8, 2013
Best Chinese in Soho. Dim sum aside, the sea bass congee is really really good and the raspberry delice tastes as awesome as it looks. Non-alc-drink-wise definitely get strawberry vanilla iced tea!
Tanh TanhSeptember 24, 2014
Highly recommend Jasmin tea smoked ribs & Prawn and beancurd cheung fun. It's really worth your try. Macaron is so yummy!!
Stavros AerakisSeptember 29, 2020
Pork buns, truffle and scallop dim sum, crispy duck, duck salad
Virginia FieldJanuary 27, 2015
REALLY delicious dim sum and great service. Hero dish: beancurd cheung fun. Loved: scallop shui mai, chinese chive and prawn, har gau. Disappointing: duck spring rolls.
Savannah PetrickMarch 12, 2016
the large dishes are nothing to write home about- come for the dim sum. the spicy wontons are great, as are the xiao long bao. the portions are small and expensive- dim sum plates are 3 or 4 pieces.

Yauatcha located on the border of SoHo and Chinatown--modern dim sum teahouse with amazing dim sum, and cocktails.
Maha ASeptember 27, 2017
Really cool vibes excellent service! I only tried those two sweets it was excellent for mouse cake lovers .
Dioni ZApril 15, 2013
Seems you always have to book. We came early weekend morning so we got a place. Very good dimsum but a bit pricey. Cakes at store front are out of this world pretty (shown in glass cases).
ManishSeptember 19, 2015
Table of 9 so we had to have a set menu. Service good overall apart from an odd waiter who was quiet disorganised and inattentive. The veggie dim sums and dumplings were very good.
Leonardo RossiSeptember 27, 2016
Get the venison puff and the the prawn and beancurd cheung fun
TeeOctober 19, 2014
Delicious and innovative dimsum in a very nice setting. Great for a special occasion. Interesting selection of Chinese teas.
Abby TeeApril 10, 2016
Well deserved michelin stars for their dimsums 👍🏻 would love to try their desserts but we were too full! Definitely coming back.
Jaume EscofetNovember 30, 2013
Very satisfied with the dim sum menu. The venison puffs are fantastic (though not traditionally Chinese). And if you like orange and pistacho try the dessert Baba, superb.
Suzi Edwards-AlexanderMarch 16, 2014
Really quite spendy but utterly delicious. Venison puffs and har gau were stand-out dishes. Only a beef and enoki cheung fun missed the mark. Good non-alcoholic drink choices.
Jessi @2feet1worldJuly 7, 2015
Set menu was huge - especially with the massive portion of duck for pancakes to finish! Good value and attentive service
NoMade InMongoliaMay 24, 2015
Def one of the best Chinese in London. Starting from 2PM it offers tasting menu for 29£ for two- great value. Very fresh dim sums. Delicious! Enjoy :)
