About Tao Tao Ju

Tao Tao Ju is one of those places in London that instantly catches your attention when you walk down Lisle Street. Located at 15 Lisle St, London WC2H 7BE, this busy Chinese restaurant has built a reputation for serving comforting dishes in a lively and welcoming setting. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels warm and energetic, making it a great spot for both casual lunches and relaxed evening meals with friends or family. The restaurant blends a traditional Chinese dining experience with a modern London vibe, which makes it stand out in the heart of Chinatown.

One thing people really enjoy about Tao Tao Ju is the flexibility it offers. Whether you prefer a quick takeout meal, a relaxed dine-in experience, or even no-contact delivery after a long day, the restaurant makes everything convenient. That balance between fast service and quality food is part of what keeps customers coming back. Even during busy hours, the staff manages to keep the experience smooth and friendly, which adds to the restaurant’s charm.

The menu at Tao Tao Ju also gives diners plenty of variety. You can stop by for small plates and quick bites, or settle in for a larger meal paired with wine, beer, or even hard liquor. The late-night food options are especially popular with visitors exploring the area in the evening. At the same time, the restaurant caters well to different dietary preferences by offering vegan and vegetarian choices alongside classic Chinese dishes. Coffee and lighter options are available too, so it works equally well for a casual daytime visit.

What makes Tao Tao Ju memorable is the combination of flavorful food, comfortable surroundings, and its central London location. It feels lively without being overwhelming, and the mix of traditional Chinese flavors with modern dining convenience gives the restaurant a character that many visitors appreciate.

Came here after a theatre show and had a lovely experience at Tao Tao Ju! I tried the dumplings, custard buns and rice noodles — everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The dumplings were perfectly cooked, the custard buns were delightfully soft and sweet, and the rice noodles had just the right balance of seasoning. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit if you enjoy authentic flavors.

Not good, not bad, but decent restaurant. The food was not bad, but could use a bit of love and more flavour. The atmosphere is ok, but crowded and loud as everyone is packed like sardines. The worse part is that on a busy day you need to wait 15-20 minutes to be seated and served. But, if they do take the prices down a bit and put some love in the food it would definitely make a huge impact on the place! Still, I would not complain if I had to dine in here, but it would not be my first choice in Chinatown!
