The breakfast was the worst I had during my three weeks in the US. Cold bacon and flatbread literally burned and smelled like a charcoal. The place is overrated. Requires correction
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the large portions and beautiful plating! The food was delicious. I had the scrambled egg sandwich and a ginger limeade - both so good! He had the french toast and enjoyed it. Would definitely stop back in here again!
Donna, the manager here is incredibly rude and insensitive. We placed an order for a food delivery last night to celebrate a birthday this morning. They cancelled our order and did not notify us until the order was supposed to arrive. When I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager Donna, she was very rude and did not help at all and spoke in an incredibly condescending tone which genuinely came from a source of frustration with DoorDash, but instead of dealing with them and their errors and the way they handled her 12 year client, she yelled at me on the phone and proceeded to say that it was not her fault or the restraints fault. While I have an appreciation for that, it is unacceptable and we should have been notified. We have a birthday celebration with no food. We still love Teaism, but try to patronize Penn Quarter.
I got the udon with vegetables, which I enjoyed. The udon noodles were nice and chewy, like they should be. It was very filling. I also got the classic milk tea with boba pearls, which was good. I ordered everything eat-in and was happily surprised that even the boba was served in a real glass and not in a plastic take away cup. It's nice that they are eco friendly and conscious of the plastic waste produced. I will definitely be returning.
Fresh food at an incredibly affordable price point, I was very surprised! The people who work here are super nice and genuine, the food was a bonus!!! I had the lentil soup, chicken curry and boba tea, which were VERY generous portions. Clean restaurant with lots of natural light and comfortable seating made for a great lunch. Dining amongst the men and women that serve our nation’s capitol, our country and the White House, was a new experience for me.
