About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
In London’s Chinatown it takes a special kind of restaurant to stand out, but that’s exactly what Tao Tao Ju does. A relatively new addition to the Lisle Street scene, Tao Tao Ju is all about taking the Chinese dining experience to the next level, giving guests a touch of class and attentive service as well as great food straight from China. Elegantly decorated, the Tao Tao Ju dining room has plenty of traditional touches, including rows of red and gold paper lanterns in its windows and dark wood latticework panels but the understated colour scheme and simple contemporary furnishings are upmarket and chic. Food is all about flavour here, with great care taken to produce authentic versions of both favourite Chinese regional dishes and house specialties inspired by the home and restaurant cooking of the country’s diverse cities and villages.

    Fantastic authentic Chinese venue in the heart of Soho. Excellent, tasty food coupled with attentive service throughout the meal. Whole family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Can’t wait to come back.

    Food is crazy good. You better have a reservation because the line was literally out the door. No real ambiance, service is all about flipping the tables, food comes out super quick and they speed you along. However, there’s a reason about 100 people walked in to eat in the hour we were there.

    It’s our second visit and as always the food was great! Celebrated out daughter’s birthday as she loves Chinese food. Always busy and pre-book a table if possible so you don’t get disappointed. Value for money and the servings are very good portions.

    We came late but notified the restaurant a beforehand and asked if that is okay, manager ensured that there is no problem with us showing up 10-15min late. Upon arrival, we were told that we must leave within 2 hours because there is another reservation. I understand that reservations are usually made for a couple of hours but it was quite rude to tell us that we have to eat quickly. We got starters first but unfortunately, we had limited time to finish it, because while I was holding a spring roll in my hand waiter came and collected the plates including the sauce and served us our mains. Sometime later we were given a bill, without us asking. Overall the experience was not pleasant and we were rushed to eat and leave.
