Steamed, never fried
Guilt-free comfort food
Marinated protein steamed to order, so the juices go into the rice rather than a fryer. Full flavour, far less oil.

The room
Calm, bright, quick
Porcelain, indigo and warm timber. Order, watch the boxes lift, and be sitting down within a few minutes.
Why now
London's lunch has plenty of speed and very little balance.
Chinese food in the UK is still shaped by the takeaway: fried, heavy and eaten late. Meanwhile, the fast-casual market has spent a decade rewarding brands that make an everyday meal feel lighter and better made.
Steam Street sits in that gap. Steaming is the oldest technique in the Cantonese repertoire and the healthiest — light, warming food you can genuinely eat every day.
More about usFirst stop
Central London, then out across the city.
Our first site is targeted at the Fitzrovia / St James's corridor — dense weekday office trade, strong footfall and a lunch crowd that already eats fast casual four days a week. Holborn, the City and Canary Wharf follow.
