So many options to choose from! The fact that the entire menu is vegetarian was great for my wife and she got to have a legit experience. We ordered a ton of food (not all pictured) and got two kinds of tea. Everything was delicious.
I visited this place because my child wanted to try some traditional tea. We had the Black tea (Heicha), White tea, and Yellow tea, and they were all excellent. White Tea: Had a lovely sweetness rather than a heavy tannin profile. Black Tea: We tried the 2019 award-winning variety; it was surprisingly smoother and less bitter than the yellow tea. The atmosphere is very quiet, making it a great place for conversation. Most importantly, the staff were very kind and welcoming toward my child. Highly recommended!
Incredible dining experience. Located within a park, this place has beautiful interiors. I was seated quickly at lunch time, and the waitress was very kind as she explained the menu. I was told it’s mandatory to order a tea for every table, and the Oolong Tea I ordered was amazing. Noodles with garlic chili sauce, veg dimsum, and the sweet dimsum in jasmine tea dessert were all amazing. I thought the service could have been a little quicker, but no regrets. Would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a Chinese tea house experience.
Oh my wow I LOVE this place!! Delicious vegan dim sum!! Wow wow wow. Try everything - literally every last dish is delicious. Yes it's a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it, especially for all these unique menu options and all the tasty, authentic tea. And it's right inside of the beautiful HK Park. Noticed lots of aunties and other locals here - so even though it's expensive it still feels like a place even the locals frequent to get some great tea and veggie dim sum right in the heart of HK. Don't worry - just order it all and enjoy.
Incredible Vegetarian Dim Sum & Authentic Tea Experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently visited this tea house in Hong Kong and was blown away by their dedicated vegetarian menu. As someone looking for plant-based options, finding such high-quality traditional dishes was a highlight of my trip. The Tea: Selection was excellent and served with great care. It provided the perfect traditional atmosphere. Dim Sum: A wonderful variety of vegetarian options that didn't compromise on the classic Hong Kong flavors. The ambiance was authentic and the service was welcoming. It's rare to find a place that honors the tea house tradition while catering so well to vegetarians. I highly recommend to anyone visiting! You must make a reservation! This place is popular for a reason, and it's almost impossible to get a table as a walk-in. Plan ahead so you don't miss out on this experience.
