Liutaio Music Cafe - Menu

Have a dim sum set menu and a cocktail or two, you won't regret it. I love this place, a real Mill Road experience.

The most amazing dinner! Fantastic vegan options and everything tasted so good. The waitresses were so lovely and the atmosphere is great. Lovely place and would come again asap!

I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to highly rate this neighbourhood gem. We had a delicious meal for two and left highly satisfied. Service was excellent, they asked every diner their dietary needs upon seating at tables, and the restaurant was so interesting inside. A feast for the senses! Will be back!

We booked this place for dinner and there were just the four of us the whole evening. The place is also a shop and it was tight with items for sale displayed everywhere. The food was tasty but very expensive. The menu offered was very weird, there were sets for two and one couldn't just choose what they wanted. Our friends weren't crazy hungry and were forced to overorder

For the price, the quality of the dim sum doesn't meet my expectation. They don't seem to be hand made, but more like cherrypicked from the pre-packed frozen dim-sum from the Chinese food stores and they are just steaming them up for me. I would much prefer somewhere like Charlie Chan and the quality of the food is way beter. Music restaurant is a bit of a fake. I was expecting somebody playing music live, but it turned out that they are just playing CD.... disappointing again

The location was right in front of the traffic light, I ordered rice and seafood soup while my friend ordered rice and vegetarian sweet and sour soup, I had the Senbonzakura cocktail, so nice and refreshing. We visited on a Saturday but there wasn’t any music as the name implies, lol, you can confirm when they perform beforehand. Atmosphere was great, we could relax, talk and we felt free, service was nice but decoration was mid. I recommend for second time dates or business casual.

I had dinner here with my parents and it was great!! We all had the basic set menu, my mum and I had veggie/vegan and my dad had the meat. Both selections were delicious, high quality and varied. The photo here is only one of two courses. It was amazing value for money too, £20 each for so much food, we had leftovers which we took home. The tea really complimented the food, and the waiter offered us a refill half way through. Really attentive and considerate staff, and great food. Thank you

I feel oddly conflicted about this place! Had some dim sum and it was high quality, hot, incredibly tasty and good portions. The drinks were interesting I had an amazing hot honey and yuzu drink made with real yuzu fruit. The prawn har gau was stuffed with juicy prawn no chopped mashed prawn here! . Great gyoza and delicious ribs. But the atmosphere is very odd. It was empty on a Saturday lunchtime, they don’t take credit cards why? , and much of the place feels crowded with stuff to sell. The full dim sum meals were high priced £39 each and I’d want to know more about the dishes to spend that much. Staff were pleasant and food came quickly.

My dinner at Liutaio Music Cafe ranks as one of my most enjoyable meals ever in the UK. The concept of a music restaurant, cafe and shop focused on traditional Asian foods and classic instruments gifts is quite unique. The set menus are thoughtfully crafted to offer a wide variety of flavors and textures meeting every dietary restriction. Even the chrysanthemum tea is an elevated variety that balances beautifully with every bite. The dishes range from familiar har gow prawn dumplings and vegetable spring rolls to less familiar (but equally enjoyable) lotus root salads and sticky rice dumplings. I highly recommend visiting on a week night that is less crowded to immerse in the full experience...
