Yauatcha is a Chinese dining establishment located on Broadwick Street in the Soho district of London, England, known for its focus on dim sum dishes.
The restaurant was established in 2004 by entrepreneur Alan Yau, who is also recognized for founding the Japanese-themed Wagamama and Thai-inspired Busaba Eathai chains, along with the high-end Hakkasan restaurant. Yauatcha received a prestigious Michelin star in 2005 but lost this accolade in 2019.
In January 2008, Alan Yau sold a controlling interest in both Yauatcha and Hakkasan to Tasameem, an entity under the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
Yauatcha extended its presence globally with locations launched in Mumbai (2011), Bangalore (2013), Delhi (2013), and Kolkata (2014). The brand also opened outlets in the United States, specifically in Honolulu and Houston, during 2017; however, these have since ceased operations.
