Yauatcha (Chinese) revisited - London, England (8.5/10)

Background:

Regular readers will know that I adore dim sum! I’m currently updating last year’s post Where To Eat Dim Sum In London , and have created a shortlist of dim sum restaurants to revisit as well as to visit for the first time. Having recently ticked a few new ones off the list - Yum Cha , Golden Palace and Peninsula - I thought I’d return to one of my favourites, Yauatcha . I’ve eaten dim sum there countless times, but I thought a revisit was long overdue as I haven’t been back in a year.

The vegetarian husband (always a challenge at dim sum!) and I joined three friends and Yauatcha regulars for lunch on a Saturday. I’d made sure to reserve a table on the ground floor level, as I didn’t want to sit in the basement and shout over the deafening music to make myself heard. The ground floor level provides a quieter and more serene environment in which to enjoy dim sum and a bit of conversation. After all, dim sum is an opportunity to catch up with friends and family as well as eat good food.

Surprisingly, our friends (who arrived before us) confirmed that they hadn’t been welcomed with the customary greeting of ‘we need the table back in one hour and 45 minutes’. The service was friendly and polite, but a little disorganised (one of the dishes we ordered never arrived, and had to removed from the bill) and it was occasionally difficult to catch the attention of the waitresses. Incidentally, for the first time ever at Yauatcha, I was able to take photos without fear of being stopped.
