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.

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!
