After hearing a lot about the first Michelin star restaurant chain to enter Bangalore, Yuatcha had been on our wish list for a while now. We paid a visit for dinner one weeknight.
The ambiance of the restaurant is simple and elegant. Nothing too dazzling except the wonderful bar they have on one side which has a huge variety of liquor, a minimum of 80-100 brands i assume.
There were some high bar stools by the counter apart from the tables spread across the restaurant.
I don't think it would be fair to call it a chinese restaurant as you can't expect the usual stuff here. No manchurians, veg balls in hot garlic sauce etc.
Their speciality are the dimsums and we tried quite a few of them in combination with the sauces which were served to us on table.
3 veg ones - Truffle Edamame Dumpling, Veg Shanghai Dumpling and 3 style mushroom cheng fun.
3 non veg ones - Crispy prawn cheng fun, sliced cuttlefish in spicy sauce and sticky rice with chicken and prawn in lotus leaf.
The standout ones were the cheung fun and the sticky rice which had great taste and were quite filling too.
Each one of them tasted different than the others and had distinct tastes, most very mellow.
We were also served 3 sauces on the table to go with the dimsums.
Presentation of the dishes is also really nice, and portions are not too large, generally 3 pieces per dish.
To go with the dimsums we ordered for 2 pots of tea, the four seasons oolong and dragons well green tea.
The flavours in the tea were too mild to register on our taste buds, and we were unsatisfied.
I've had flavoured teas in china, singapore and ofcourse at Infinitea Bangalore, so i know how mild these floral teas are, but here it was a let down.
We ordered small portions of main course namely the humble jasmine rice, stir fry vegetables with lotus stem and hofan noodles. The noodles had a lot of fried tofu, onions etc and were uniquely flavourful. The stir fry veggies were completely dry but we enjoyed eating the fresh and crunchy lotus stem.
To conclude our dinner, we decided to satiate our sweet tooth and called for a jaffa cake and a tropical cake. The taste was alright, the pina colada sorbet in the dish was great and we ordered some ice creams again in the end.
Service was about average as the person serving us forgot to bring one dish and brought one extra which we didn't order. Naturally in a high end place like this you are expected to ask too many questions about what is being served as it is all alien to you. But the answers were not always convincing, so service can definitely improve.
The pricing is steep surely, and you can expect to pay about 1500-2000 per head for a proper meal.
Those not comfortable with this sort of cuisine will not enjoy paying these kind of prices, but foodies who are experimental with their eating should definitely try it for once.
