    medium Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Alexia S.

    Central Tea House is tucked away nicely in this plaza on Central. I didn't have time to try the food but I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee. It's really good! and The gentleman who checked me out/made my drink, I assume is the owner maybe, was very welcoming! Will stop by to try the food when I have more time another day :)

    Had a good football game on

    I had a singing engagement yesterday, 11-25-23, and it was chilly. I had a short break and wanted something warm. Thought it was too late in the afternoon for the caffeine in coffee. The cashier helped me decide on the hot honey jasmine green tea. It seemed to taste better with each sip. I also ordered the toasted pork pate so. It was a little too hot to eat at first, but I started nibbling on my way back to my destination. Flaky croissant; it was very good, especially because I was hungry. I also ordered a strawberry tea cake for after the engagement. Would definitely return for the green tea & pate so. I asked if there was a restroom available while waiting for my pate so. A gentleman told me where it was and gave me the code more than once for the door. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of soap. I was happy to find this small business on small business Saturday and definitely would support again.

    Bulgogi Bang Mi and Peach Mango green tea with mango jelly
    Liz M.

    This is a small and cute cafe in a shopping plaza towards the older side of Plaza Midwood. I ordered the Bulgogi banh mi with no cilantro and it was tasty! The beef was cooked and then doused with bulgogi sauce as it was evident it was not marinaded in it... so obviously don't order the Korean fusion banh mi if you want something authentic! There was real kimchi on it too so I was pleased with that. I also got the mango peach green tea with mango jelly and that was delicious!! There are tons of tea flavors and options to choose from. There is limited seating in this tea house so don't expect to fit a group or work with your laptop and lots of books. However, the staff is super friendly and everything is clean and tidy. I recommend it!

    House Special
    Brian L.

    Ordered the house special. It was pretty good, loaded with veggies so beware if you're not a fan. But otherwise it was a pretty solid, didn't have the chance to try any of their other options, but the menu boasted a wide variety of drinks and other sandwiches as well. Will probably come back next time to try some of their other menu items.

    Bánh mì chay
    Mymy K.

    The service was fine but why the fuck was my banh mi like this???? Like this was for my grandpa who's vegan and this SHIT IS BURNT, this could cause health problems and it was $6-7 for this bs??? Give me a refund, I drove far with high expectations because it was next to a pretty popular restaurant. Stay safe out here pooks mwah

    Vietnamese Coffee
    Kong L.

    Not bad -- but the Vietnamese coffee wasn't worth the hassle of fighting for parking in the tiny parking lot. The coffee didn't have a kick or anything special about it. It also tasted a bit diluted.

    Jasmine milk tea with Crystal boba
    Elana T.

    Central TH has became my favorite spot for Jasmine Milk Tea whenever I travel back home. The flavor is pretty good. Customer service is friendly as always. It's a small shop but cute.

    I ordered a brown sugar boba and it was so good I forgot to take a photo. The service was very fast, I received my two drinks within a couple minutes. On top of that, the staff was very nice and asked us how our drinks were! We will be back soon! Also, $5 for two spring rolls which were delicious!

    Brown sugar milk tea and beach bum fruit tea
    Britney V.

    Found this place on Yelp and finally was able to visit! So glad I did, it's a small tea house on Central. When I walked in we were immediately greeted and the menu was extensive but not overwhelming, they also had banh mi and other foods and treats. Would definitely go back!

    Thai boba egg tea
    Britanny T.

    I have always seen them while leaving another local gem and never went in or ordered..today I tried their egg topping, so delicious..I was skeptical at first but the man behind he counter insisted I'd love it so I he gave me a sample and I was obsessed! So yummy! Cant have it any other way now! $4.50 - tea .50 cents each topping They have cute little pastries too, I purchase a coconut macaroon and it was delicious! Definitely worth a try!

    Rose E.

    I was finally able to check out this little tea house on Central Avenue... and expected, it has a good, solid menu of Milk Teas, Coffees, Lattes, Smoothies, Slushies and Juice, as well as snack foods, sandwiches, and more. The place is very small, but cute and seemingly clean...and the service is friendly. Also, the staff was wearing a mask...and all precautionary signs on the door. I just stopped in to get a Bubble Tea to go, and decided to try their Thai Iced Tea w/ Bubbles. It tasted a bit thin...much lighter than most Thai Teas I've had...less sweet. Still, it was a refreshing treat. Though a tad disappointed with the drink, I'm glad I decided to check out this joint. Definitely open to trying them again in the future.

    Macaroons: Flavors were vanilla, caramel, pistachio, and lemon
    Ayana S.

    Cute little boba tea shop. There was a lot of variety of options to choose from whether you like tea, smoothies, coffee, pastry, sandwiches, etc. I got the vanilla chai latte with coffee jelly and it was perfect. The macaroons were delicious and staff was nice. It's cute inside but a little small.

    strawberry kiwi black tea w/boba
    Kendall Y.

    As a big boba fan, I was pretty disappointed with the drink I got :( I ordered the strawberry kiwi black tea and to be honest, it tasted super artificial and more like cough syrup than fruit tea. The texture of the boba was pretty squishy. I did like the cute decor in the shop, but the drink did not satisfy me. If I ever come back, maybe I'll give another drink / the food options a chance.

The restaurant was suspiciously empty for a Saturday afternoon, besides us there was another family dining in. But, I did notice they were pushing out a ton of to go orders, so that's a good sign. Our servers were so polite, and offered insight on some of the popular items on the menu. We had the chicken pot stickers and they were good. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, which was absolutely delicious! The broth was prefect, you usually have to doctor pho up to get it to taste right, but that was not needed with this pho. I have to say this is the best pho I've had to date!!! The broth was simple yet flavorful, the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was tender. Everything was delightful. Service was great, the food was fresh and delicious. We agreed that we would definitely come back. What a great hidden gem.

Now once you arrive, you sit down and they take your order as opposed to ordering yourself at a kiosk like before. They did add some things to their menu but unfortunately got rid of a lot of things, including our favorite bowls which is why we went there a lot. They added calamari which we love but unfortunately these were not the best. No flavor. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet. They got rid of their rice bowls and anything "created your own" the noodles bowls only come with cucumbers, sprouts, lettuce, noodles and protein of you want. Before you fould customize it and add a plethora of things to it which we loved and was very filling (refrence my older pics posted). Unfortunately the noodle bowl was just lacking with the minimal ingredients offered and it was not very flavorful at all. Upon learning these new changes, I don't believe we will be returning.

    I came here with family and we sure did have a Pho Good Time! Restaurant was beautiful, bright, and…read moreclean and staff was nice. We ordered multiple appetizers, including chicken wings, steamed dumplings, truffle fries and spring fries. My favorite being the truffle fries (non pictured because they didnt stand a chance). I ordered the P5 which included brisket and meatballs and of course chili sauce on the side. My food was absolutely delicious, I personally would t order the meatballs any more because it resembled pork and I personally took them out of my dish. However it didn't deter me from enjoying my meal fully! I would definitely come back!

    I checked out this place for a late lunch, and here's the deal…read more.. The place itself was very inviting, cozy and nicely decorated. I also appreciated its pictured menu. Service was good as well. I actually came here to try their hand-made dumplings...and came highly anticipating their "Rainbow" varieties! Well, sadly, there was a problem with their "Rainbow" Dumplings. While they tasted pretty good, I didn't get all 5 colors (as advertised). In fact, the red one, featuring Beef (my favorite?), was missing....and in its place, I got 2 yellow ones. How disappointing is that?!? Also, the presentation was a bit sloppy! There goes an opportunity for me to post it on my Instagram...Oh Well! Anyway, the waitress quickly offered to take the incomplete "Rainbow' Dumplings off my bill, so that was pretty cordial. As I mentioned to her, it's somewhat of a pet peeve of mine to see that these "Rainbow" Dumplings turn out to be not a full rainbow of colors...something that I've been repeatedly experiencing in various restaurants. I feel that if they are missing a color (or 2), they should tell the diners. Anyway, I appreciated how they corrected this mistake. I also tried their Basil Chicken, which came with a bowl of rice. This was my first time trying this dish, and I loved how it was so fresh! Seemingly healthy, yet very tasty! I also enjoyed their Virgin Lychee Mojito...but I wish they served it in a glass...and not a plastic cup like some fast food joint. If they served a complete "Rainbow" Dumplings as advertised, and served the Lychee Mojito in a glass, I would have easily dropped 5 stars...but unfortunately, the dining experience was flawed. Still, I thought this was a great restaurant addition to Park Square, in Charlotte (right next to Fiamma). Hopefully they'll have the full "Rainbow" Dumplings next time??
