YAUATCHA

Yauatcha is like the fashionable cousin who brags about being 'different' but ends up being just as chaotic as the rest of the family. Sure, the dim sum has fans raving about its greatness, but then you’ve got dishes like tea-infused ribs that might as well have been served at a nursing home. Jason managed to find some gems like the Chang fen, which is actually a winner, but let’s be real, you might spend more time sifting through average dishes than enjoying them.

The vibe is buzzing—if you can handle the noise—and the decor is chic, but don’t expect to find serenity here. It’s loud, cramped, and filled with patrons who seem more interested in the Grindr notifications than their food. If you're after a lively meal with a chance of mindless chatter, Yauatcha could fit the bill—but temper your expectations about the food quality. Just maybe avoid the ribs.
