About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Located in the heart of London’s theatre land, XU Teahouse & Restaurant is reminiscent of the Taiwanese social clubs and luxury dining rooms of the 1930s, offering a unique journey into Taiwanese culture and cuisine, from its food, cocktails and tea offerings through to its interiors.

The restaurant is situated over two floors: ground floor tea rooms, Mahjong rooms and the first floor dining room. During the day the ground floor lends itself as a Taiwanese teahouse and by night experience a bustling Taiwanese brasserie.

The interiors of XU are glamorous and elegant, incorporating warm rich wood paneling an emerald lacquered tea kiosk, handprinted murals, and a Longifolia Tree.

Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and polite. We had the Christmas menu with tea pairing. The only slight niggle was the timing of the tea pairing didn’t match the food, but all still very enjoyable.

Did not honor the reservation, despite my companion showing them the reservation copy. No point allowing a reservation and then not honoring it. Waste of time and money..

Great service and outstanding food. we went for the afternoon tea and were expecting to have a better offering of the food items. Being out for afternoon teas quite often we are used to being able to reorder some items. Unfortunately this was not possible here. Very disappointed with that as the food overall was excellent. Not even tea as only 2 pots allowed and think we were on a table of 3 people. Not a good value for money I’d say, we left the place still hungry :(

店のホームページにプレシアターがあったので予約しました。しかしながらか今日だけはそのメニューがないとの話でした。そのような記載はホームページになく、またメール等での案内もなかったと主張しましたが、受け入れられませんでした。オーダーしていないのに出されたお茶が勝手にチャージされていました。サービス面ではとてもひどい対応を受けました。
