XU in London’s Chinatown comes from the team behind BAO, offering a further insight into Taiwanese cooking – beyond those famous buns – with a focus on carefully-sourced Taiwanese ingredients. Located in the heart of London’s theatreland, XU 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. Dishes displayed on a la carte menus are representative of the type of food available at the restaurant.
