Yum Cha District, Chinese restaurant in Gulshan, Bangladesh
Yum Cha District is a restaurant in the Gulshan neighborhood of Dhaka, serving dim sum alongside Asian fusion dishes. The interior uses marble tables and a contemporary design, with a layout that separates different seating areas across the dining floor.
The restaurant opened in Dhaka in 2017, bringing the concept of a Chinese teahouse into a modern dining format for the city. It was one of the first places in Dhaka to present dim sum in this kind of setting.
The name refers to the Chinese custom of drinking tea while sharing small plates, a practice still visible in how dishes arrive throughout the meal. Guests tend to order in rounds rather than all at once, which gives the table a relaxed, social pace.
The restaurant sits in Gulshan, one of Dhaka's more accessible neighborhoods with several transport options nearby. Weekday lunches tend to be quieter than weekend evenings, which makes it easier to take time choosing from the menu.
The restaurant operates two separate locations in Dhaka, each designed with its own distinct interior rather than following a single template. This means the two branches feel noticeably different from each other even though they share the same menu.
