Yauatcha City is tucked away in Broadgate Circle, and while the entrance can be a little tricky to find, the location itself is excellent, it is right in the heart of a vibrant, corporate hub. The restaurant’s layout is slightly awkward, however, with the bathrooms tucked away in a far corner, but this is a minor inconvenience. The atmosphere inside is lovely, and the staff were attentive and helpful with their recommendations. The food was excellent (the Singapore Noodles and Kung Pow Chicken were particular highlights). The desserts were just as impressive; the Hazelnut Praline was especially delicious. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Unlimited dim sum here is worth popping in for. Not too bad value if you’re particularly hungry and know you’re gonna do a few rounds. Variety is less than what it used to be when they first launched their dim sum brunch though, so for those returning they may notice that. Quality is still there, with everything being freshly made as and when you order. All the dim sum tasted fresh, delicious and had just enough seasoning to highlight the ingredients. Especially the seafood dumplings. Service is also good and I feel the multiple staff looking after you genuinely want you to feel well catered for. Drinks get expensive though. A bottle of water for the table is pricey as are all the soft drinks. Think I spent the equivalent of a brunch on the drinks alone. I’d still return as I like the food, unlimited dumplings and the location. Definitely worth trying at least once.

I visited with a group of colleagues for Friday lunch. Thanks to people working from home the place was fairly empty and we got very good service and food was served promptly. Some of our group shared a duck and I had the vegan mapo tofu dish with the jasmine rice and the green beans and both were very tasty. I also had the orange juice which I wouldn’t recommend. Quite expensive as well so as someone who isn’t particularly fond of Chinese food I would give it a miss.

I wanted to go here for a very long time, but we hadn’t had a chance to. I’ve seen this restaurant for many years and for the first time I did the booking. This was simply because my boyfriend has been so busy with work etc and given the fact that I was now officially his girlfriend (this was our first date in London now being his girlfriend), I wanted to take the reins a tiny bit and at least book the restaurant. 😄 I did love the decor here, there was a nice atmosphere but it was very busy. It was airy and tranquil as you walked up the stairs. I thought the orchids with the incense was a lovely touch. As we we got upstairs, we were not taken to our table straight away as our table was not ready which I found a bit odd considering it was booked. We had to wait 10 minutes even though arrived on time a d I was told on the reservation that we would only have the table for two hours. Meanwhile, In the meantime, we ordered a drink and we were enjoying the view overlooking Broadgate circle. We were then taken to our table and given our menus. I was shocked at my boyfriend’s menu for his gluten-free options as he had he didn’t have much choice which was a real shame. However, the options he did have I actually thought sounded delicious and something that I would’ve ordered for myself. I ordered a mocktail and my boyfriend had his wine. They were extremely busy so it took them a while to get to us, that would be my only criticism. We ordered our starters of prawn crackers which were really nice. The prawn crackers were lovely and I then went for the Kung Po chicken and my bf went for the steamed prawns which I actually did have my eye on. I would’ve ordered that for myself! He ordered the egg fried rice which we shared. Our waiter was really helpful as recommended one rice to share between us and that would be plenty for both of us. I also ordered a side salad of cucumber which was really nice. I was really impressed with the food though. My kung po chicken was fantastic. I tried some of my boyfriend‘s chilli steamed prawns which tasted fantastic. They were really tasty and if I were to go back there again that is exactly what I would order. As I looked at the dessert menu, the desserts did look really good and but my boyfriend could only have ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised that they did a birthday decoration plate for me because it was my birthday the following week (in a few days time) but I was actually really impressed with the fact that they did that and it added a lovely touch. My chocolate raspberry mousse dessert was fabulous. I was very aware of the time because I needed to get my train as I didn’t drive into London on this occasion so the end was a bit rushed which was a shame. But we had a really lovely evening and I would return for sure. The food was of a high standard and I loved the decor, surroundings and atmosphere. I’d go back for the atmosphere and I would order the chilli steamed prawns for myself next time with steamed jasmine rice. It was a very hot night in London and busy around Broadgate Circle but I really loved the atmosphere and the vibe; The scenery and the decor were stunning.😍 💕

Yauatcha still has some of the best Chinese / Asian food in London. I have been to both their branches many times over the last 12+ years and have never been disappointed. At my latest visit in January 2025, we started with Scallop Shui Mai, Seafood Dumpling, Edamame Wakame Puff, Soft-crab Bun, and my two all-time favourites and must-haves: Prawn Toast and Prawn & Beancurd Cheung Fun. For the mains, we had Steamed Chilean Seabass, Stir Fry Scallop & Prawn and Egg Fried Rice. While everything tasted great, the Steamed Chilean Seabass was completely out of this world and worth its price tag (£48). My only complaint for Yauatcha is that their Egg Fried Rice has never been as good since they changed their recipe a few years ago, and I'm never genuinely happy with it now. The service was attentive, polite and friendly. We had Viktoriia take care of us and she was very good. The restaurant is nice and warm in the cold winter months despite full glass walls overlooking Broadgate Circle. But they seem to have built their toilets in the tundra - no heating, blisteringly cold water, and even the hand dryers blow out freezing air. This, weirdly, was the only off-putting thing in the entire experience!
