Tao Tao Ju - Chinese Restaurant Leicester Square

"Aimless wandering around Chinatown is all fun and games until someone gets hangry. When that alarm bell sounds, Tao Tao Ju is a reliable, casual spot for some sating dim sum under comforting yellow lighting. Towers of baskets go up and down its two floors, back and forth between the kitchen and tables of snapping chopsticks. While not the finest dim sum in London, it’s some of the best in Chinatown, and the pork and crab siu mai is suitably plump, while the deep-fried wonton cheung fun is as slippery and crunchy as they come." - Team Infatuation

"Aimless wandering around Chinatown is all fun and games until someone gets hangry. When that alarm bell sounds, Tao Tao Ju is a reliable spot for some sating dim sum. The banquette area is long, the lighting yellow, and you could, feasibly, seat an entire school bus on the ground floor alone. Towers of baskets go up and down its two floors, back and forth between the kitchen and tables of snapping chopsticks. While not the finest , it’s some of the best in Chinatown, and the pork and crab siu mai is suitably plump, while the deep-fried wonton cheung fun is as slippery and crunchy as they come.

"Dim sum is the name of the game at this Chinatown favourite — they’re steamed or grilled to order, so may result in longer wait times. Find all the classics such as siu mai, har gow, cha siu bao, and glutinous rice with pork and prawn wrapped in lotus leaf. Can’t decide from the gigantic menu offering? Plenty of set menus and bamboo basket set menus spanning from an array of dim sum to XO seafood fried rice and ‘gong bao’ Sichuan chicken, it’ll help cover more ground. Available for takeaway and delivery on Deliveroo." - Angela Hui
