Notice the prices taken from a display case advertising the restaurant posted below. Somebody else posted a menu at the same prices. When I was there no prices were posted and I was charged a dollar more per cup. If the prices have gone up they need to change their menu (menu costs— sea Milton Friedman, Ha,Ha,Ha). When I inquired about prices are like around $5 In fairness. I hadn't seen any other prices beforehand, but still it would be nice if there would be consistency a problem in this day and age with business). The ambiance was nice even if the final charge was $4.44 (4 isan unlucky number in China (444 is like the triple death number!). Nice ambience and reasonably polite, though the paper cops were kind of not a nice touch and a little odd. (I'd rather expect porcelain and a place trying to be authentic like this.) Not as good as AT house and Guangzhou (and no dim sum— just moon cakes which are pretty much relegated to Autumn festival in China). Honestly the aged white tea was good but it wasn't as good as the black tea that I got at QT the other day. Also it was a little watery for me. I like it strong. I didn't super give him a bad rating cuz it was not an unpleasant experience. Response to owner: things need to be explicit: if the service is to go only this needs to be made clear in advance. I was understood to be paying for a tea house experience. If only to go cups are available, this needs to be made clear before the tea is ordered and served the tea payment is expected. Hopefully, at this point, an accurate printed menu is posted in house as welll. Furthermore, if white tea is going to taste like watered-down tea, mighr mention this in advance in explaining the different teas. Lastly, It might be nice to mention somewhere that in China mooncakes are traditionally seasonal and for mid-Autumn festival only And that otherwise traditional Cantonese tea houses generally serve dim sum (rather than moon cakes). E.G. let us know that your dishwasher is broken and that the tee will therefore be served in paper cups before it is ordered.
