Quick info
About Tattu Birmingham
Tattu Birmingham is a Chinese restaurant on Barwick St serving modern dishes and sharing plates alongside cocktails. The kitchen builds its menu around plates meant for the table rather than single courses, giving groups a range to work through over the meal. Each table is looked after by an assigned server for the duration of the visit, rather than rotating staff. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and it opens daily, giving diners flexibility across the week rather than fixed set nights. The room's dim lighting sets a contemporary tone against the sharing format of the food. Cocktails run alongside the food menu, rounding out the plates with a drinks list rather than a wine-only pairing. Together the format, from walk-in access to steady daily hours, makes it a straightforward stop for groups looking to share plates without booking ahead.

“From start to finish, this place was excellent. The hostess who welcomed us was amazing, as well as the bar staff where we were sitting until our table was ready. This was because we came in a bit earlier than our reservation. When we were seated, our server Mariam looked after us, along with Gianis. The food was excellent, and came out so quickly after ordering. The decor of the restaurant was lovely and I would recommend this place.”

“Tattu Birmingham never disappoints! The food was served piping hot and packed with incredible flavor—the beef dish with dipping sauce and the stir-fried main were spectacular. Pair that with their delicious cocktails and moody, sophisticated atmosphere, and you’ve got a 5-star experience. Highly recommend!”

“Tattu is everything you kind of expect it to be. This place is elegant, the service elite tier & food is spectacular. What you get is exceptional service & good food however, this does come at a very high price. The staff definitely earn their money but when you think that you can be spending upwards to £300 & then they bang on a 12.5% service charge, this is then look at a £30+ tip, this is kinda crazy. I would definitely recommend tattu for date night or an anniversary as it is lovely. The food is good & you are treated really well, the only real big problem is that its very busy & quite tight in the restaurant. There isn't alot of space for your food!”

“This is my first time at Tattu and in Birmingham. My friend wanted to surprise me for my birthday with a more upscale restaurant. Tattu checked all the boxes from great food to a great experience! The dim sum platter is a definite must get and the duck fried rice! We got the Leigong’s Mace which is designed for 2 people. Such a great experience and a way to kick off 26! Thank you to Annette for such a warm welcoming, always making sure we enjoying the food, and great conversation.”
