Yauatcha Soho

The food was rather nice and rather hot. The tea selection is ranged and worth trying. Staff were attentive and they have a wonderful selection of desserts. The venison puffs are tasty.

Food quality was 8/10, great at the spot but both me and the other person didn’t feel great afterward. Service was not excellent, quite uninterested/not matching the vibe (they were rushing us to leave and brought us the check although we didn’t ask for it with the machine to pay, and we still had half an hour in our reservation time). They were accommodating as we asked to be moved from downstairs to upstairs as it was loud, but upstairs the table are so close one to the other that it doesn’t feel intimate at all. I would go back for the food because I think it’s a great Chinese but not for the service/ environment. Also the guy at the door is really not welcoming.

We’re serial attenders to this Soho institution. The ambiance is understated chic. The service is welcoming and attentive. A big thank you to Roshan in that respect. Top man. None of the food is the best I’ve ever had but it’s delicious all the same. The standard is high and more importantly it’s consistent every time. What draws us back is the whole package. Relaxed understated Chinese fine dining.

Yauatcha Soho: where my taste buds went on a flavor rollercoaster! 🎢 The mushroom dim sum was so good, I almost declared myself a fungi enthusiast on the spot. 🍄🥟 The stir-fried beef had me doing a happy dance in my chair – I might have even twirled my chopsticks like drumsticks. 🕺💃 And the aromatic crispy duck? Let's just say, I'd happily wear a duck costume just to show my appreciation.

Absolutely amazing food! Vegan taster menu dishes just kept on arriving. Red snapper curry was excellent quality and substantial. Jasmine tea served with main course was perfect. Patisserie desserts were beautiful.

Gluten-free okay!
I tried this restaurant because of the reviews I read online.
I can only confirm what I read except for two things.
Few choices of dishes for celiacs and lack of tablecloth.
Otherwise great place, from the staff to the quality of the food.
There are so many waiters that you are treated like a king, served and revered!
The place is very gloomy, dark colors with little light.
Small bathrooms with a useless sink, narrow and long with faucets that spray very little water.
Bill £40 per head, honest for the area.

We came as a group of 5 for dinner on a Wednesday night. The service was excellent, very friendly and accomodating and the atmosphere was great. The star of the show really was the food though, it was genuinely outstanding. We ordered a range of different dishes: dim sum, noodles, stir-fries etc and they were all delicious. I would particularly recommend the crab bao bun! All of the cocktails were delicious too, so overall I can't fault it! The prices are a bit expensive however for me, it was totally justified given the quality of food and service. I'd highly recommend for a special occasion.

Thanks for a lovely evening!

The food was very good, try the dim sum and specially the duck, both were perfect. The bock choy is also delicious. The service below avarage and prices are too high. The restaurant could also use some love. The chairs seem old and the whole place feels a bit neglected.

They don’t have an allergen menu and have no soy free options.
