There is dim sum, and then there is dim sum at Yauatcha in Riyadh.

The Chinese restaurant and tea house on the upper floor of the glamorous Al-Faisaliah Mall has quickly established itself as one of the capital’s most luxurious dining experiences.

With its soft lighting, elegant seating, and sophisticated ambiance, Yauatcha is a place that makes diners feel like VIP guests from the moment they walk in.

The highlight for many is the outdoor terrace, a serene space adorned with cherry blossom trees, offering sweeping views of the city skyline. Even on hot summer evenings, the terrace is a perfect spot to unwind over jasmine tea and an assortment of carefully crafted dim sum — delicate small bites that are as beautiful as they are flavorful.

Signature dishes include the crispy duck salad, a favorite for its rich flavors and textural balance, and the hot and sour chicken soup, which offers just the right amount of spice.
