Right in the heart of Soho, Yauatcha is packed from early evening onward. That’s because in London, people tend to dine very early, and many Londoners eat as early as 5:30 p.m. so they can go to the theater or the movies afterward. At Yauatcha, you can enjoy delicious dim sum as well as utterly decadent desserts. Admittedly, it’s not exactly a budget-friendly spot, but that doesn’t matter: here, you’ll be amazed by the wide variety of steamed and fried dumplings—there’s something for every taste and in every shape.
