Dim sum remains a go-to dining choice, and Yauatcha is the latest trendy spot in London. With stunning views, top-tier service, and exceptional food, it offers a chic, modern dining experience perfect for dim sum lovers and trendsetters alike.

Food:

Choosing from the Explore menu (£42 per person), I started with the pork and prawn shui mai and chicken and prawn shui mai—because prawn dim sum is always a favourite. For my main, I went with kung pao chicken with cashews and dried chilli, served with jasmine rice. Unfortunately, the kung pao chicken missed the mark. The cashews felt out of place, seemingly added for “texture,” but they didn’t work. Worse, the dried chilli was chewy and had the consistency of plastic.

For dessert, I was eyeing the macaron, the only appealing option on the menu. But in a strange turn of events, the waitress skipped our dessert order entirely and handed us the bill instead—LOL.

P.S the drinks were also meh!

Service: 

The service at Yauatcha was phenomenal (aside from the missed dessert), though maybe I just missed the experience of being doted on by strangers in a restaurant—because let’s be honest, they want you to spend more money. (Shrugs) Who knows?

Recommendations:
Definitely visit Yauatcha for the vibes and small bites. The ambience is serene and stylish, with plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. Perfect for a chic night out, if not necessarily for the mains!
