This place opened in the fall of 2023. The owners of Top Burmese also own this establishment. I had learned about it on Yelp, Google maps, and Top Burmese, and was definitely curious to try this place out. It's absolutely adorable inside. It feels like an authentic tea shop in Asia or New York City. It's got a moody, but cozy dark vibe. Very sleek, chic, urban, but also traditional. Upon arrival, you see the expansive bar in the middle - it's definitely a bar, but instead of alcohol it's adorn with tea, tea pots, loose leaf, and all the assortments. This is a great place to go to after visiting the Japanese or Chinese garden. In the summer there is also an outside tea garden too to enjoy. I just visited here (November 2024) during the rainy months. The tea house is perfect to visit in the evening or on a chilly day. We ordered two different chai tea drinks. My favorite one was the ginger based one which was loaded with flavor. Next time we might ordered a tea pot since the presentation is even more elaborate. We also ordered the lentil soup with bread, which was tasty. Lastly, we ordered the garlic noodles with tofu to share. Everything was delicious and nicely prepared and presented. The only major con is the restaurant is quite small. We were in a corner so it seemed more spacious, but we were still caught quite close to the door. Another couple also came in after us and bumped something on there table and it came crashing and breaking down. It probably was a water glass or the cute little cat soy sauce containers. Either way it was definitely a startle and everyone in the tea house was a bit alarmed. Our table was extremely cluttered for just two people. I think it would be almost impossible to have more in your party with such limited space. I was thinking of organizing a tea for friends possibly here, but I would definitely need a reservation and an explanation on the overall set up of the space due to the space constraints (not the best set up for people with claustrophobic issues). Overall, we really enjoyed coming here and I would definitely visit again. We were able to visit without a reservation, but reservations are highly appreciated.
