Yauatcha

Yauatcha

Yauatcha is a Chinese restaurant in Broadwick Street, Soho, London, England, specializing in dim sum.

The restaurant was created in 2004 by Alan Yau, who previously created the Wagamama Japanese and Busaba Eathai Thai restaurant chains and the more expensive Hakkasan restaurant, also in London. Like Hakkasan, Yauatcha has gained a Michelin star rating, in 2005.

In April 2005, the British Restaurant magazine released its fourth annual global ranking of the 50 Best Restaurants and Yauatcha was rated 43rd in the list (with a total of ten London restaurants listed).

In January 2008, Yau sold a majority interest in Yauatcha and Hakkasan to Tasameem, part of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. [ [http://www.hardens.com/articles/article_details.php?type=blog&id=636 Hakkasan and Yauatcha sold for $60m | | Harden's Quick Bites ] ]

Previous Chinese London restaurants awarded a Michelin star have been Lee Ho Fook in Soho (1974), Poons of Covent Garden (1979-1980), Tiger Lee in Earls Court (1980-1986), and The Oriental at the Dorchester (1993-2000).
