I was really excited to try this place from the outstanding reviews but unfortunately left disappointed. The tea was good and the ceremony was interesting but the food was a complete scam. We got sat next to the freezer and watched the servers constantly pull frozen dumplings out to cook. For the cost and wait, I would expect them to at least be fresh. After waiting forever for the food, the smallest dumplings I’ve ever seen come out. Tasted frozen (obviously), with the bao completely falling apart. Honestly, I’ve had better frozen dumplings from grocery. We also tried the fried rice cakes, tasted like leather. I’m a little confused because other review pictures have huge rice cakes, ours were very tiny squares, the size of a fingernail.Ended up spending $60 and left hungry. Even the atmosphere was stressful with the servers constantly running around. While our server was nice, everyone was white? Who exactly is calling this traditional? Overheard the other servers trash talking people they just got off the phone with. Overall it’s just another scammy Americanized place, maybe good for the tea but not worth the money

I cannot recommend this tea house enough! They have a wide variety of tea flavors so much so that you might spend most of your time trying to pick a flavor. They do offer tea ceremonies which is a fun way to enjoy tea with friends. The dumplings and dim sum are phenomenal! Not to mention the fried rice cake always makes me want more. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the tea ceremony as well as tea and herb medicinal uses. Besides selling tea, there are a select few amount of tea sets that you can purchase. I certainly plan to make this a regular place where I can enjoy tea with friends and obtain the best herbs for my own tea ceremonies at home. ?

The food was good. Good atmosphere with cozy lighting, even during the day. Nice relax Chinese music really gives the the full experience. Place could be a bit cleaner, but that’s just the germaphobe in me.

This cozy little tea house has great service and great selection of tea! We loved our short visit! Will come back again.

What a unique and delicious adventure. If you’re into tea, have never had tea, it aren’t sure if you like tea; try Yellow Mountain. Great midday place to stop, chill, have a snack and get hyped on some green tea. Definitely will make this a staple place to stop at when visiting the Springs. Oh and great customer service too!

Our first time here. We enjoyed several dishes and some delicious teas. Looking forward to returning.

Amazing food! Perfect tea! Super nice staff as always! This is probably one of the coolest experiences in town and one of my favorite places to eat! If you want a place that's clean, friendly, unique and amazing this is the place to be

10 stars for food and service. I tried all the vegetarian items. we had the winter chai & the fruit punch tea :) can’t wait to come back.

I've been here twice and both experience's have been great. The food was fresh and hot not long of a wait while enjoying tea. A must visit location if you want to change things up from the normal.

What a fun and informative visit, my friend and I had! Learned about proper brewing/steeping. Super cute, if somewhat funky, and quiet spot. I'm so tired of coffee shops and restaurants where you can't have a decent conversation. Lots of choices. Pleasant and attentive staff. I highly recommend. We'll go again and try some food.
