Yauatcha

This Asian eatery, describing itself as a modern reinterpretation of the old Chinese teahouse, is the brainchild of Alan Yau, who won Britain's first Michelin star for Chinese cooking at his top-of-the-range restaurant, Hakkasan. At this informal dim sum outlet service is casual, although it's so popular you're unfortunately rushed through your meal to make way for new arrivals. The ground floor is quiet; the basement buzzes. Dim sum, among London's finest, is served for both lunch and dinner, and often takes unusual ingredients such as scallops, Wagyu beef, venison, or king crab. Other notable specialties include a great selection of fish and seafood (Dover sole with shiitake and soya) and a delectable stir-fry rib eye beef in black bean sauce.
