About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Yauatcha City opened in May 2015 in Broadgate Circle, just outside Liverpool Street Station. This is Yauatcha’s second UK location following the success of its award winning restaurant in Soho.


Yauatcha City is an all-day dim sum teahouse, where friends and family gather to catch up over a wide selection of dim sum, wok dishes, tea and cocktails. To complement the cuisine, the drinks menu comprises nearly 40 types of tea, as well as cocktails inspired by Chinese ingredients and a broad wine and Champagne list.


Yauatcha’s first standalone patisserie, Yauatcha Patisserie, is located just below the restaurant, where Chinese heritage and modern European cooking techniques have inspired the pastry team to create a range of unique macarons, petits gateaux and chocolates.

    Terrible service, really disappointed as have been a long-term customer of Yauatcha on Broadwick Street. Incredibly disappointed, will not visit again. Not recommended. Food was so so, not up to the usual standard expected from this restaurant, which has now become a chain

    Friend is vegan and asked for the duck wraps but to swap the duck for their vegan "plant-based duck" option but was told no , with a limited menu for vegans a simple swap would not normally be a problem. Gets very loud on a Friday evening

    The first time I came I got really good service with explanations of how best to enjoy the food and recommendations for my dietary requirement of no pig products. This time I didn’t get the same level of service or experience
