Tried this place with a friend and enjoyed every dish that was brought out! I love that they had a lot of unique matcha options that I haven't seen elsewhere. Food: Chili Tuna Tataki- this was pretty good and you can taste definitely taste the chili, but it's not too spicy. Chashu Avocado- loved the sauce on this! The chashu was on point. It wasn't dry and was super tender. Curry Udon w. beef- LOVED this! If you like curry, you'll probably enjoy this dish. It wasn't a spicy type of curry though, just flavorful. Matcha Cheesecake- honestly this was made to perfection. Probably the best matcha cheesecake I've had to date. It was a good amount of matcha and cheesecake. The strawberries were a great fresh element. Drink: Brown Sugar Matcha Latte- I was anticipating for this to be sweeter since I'm used to that being the case when it comes to anything brown sugar, but surprisingly, this wasn't too sweet. It was a good amount of matcha flavor and brown sugar. Matcha Beer- I typically don't enjoy beer but I wanted to try this since I wouldn't be able to get it many other places. It was actually pretty good. You'd likely enjoy it more if you like the taste of beer. It goes down smooth! read more

Nippon Cha - Japanese Near Me - Bayside, New York

Heard great things about this place from friends, so I decided to check this place out:). They take Covid-19 precautions seriously and put separation boards per table. They have outdoor dining tables but we ate inside due to rainy weather. Inside is very clean. I like to try classic ramen whenever I check new ramen places to see if the broth is done right. Their broth is very good, little on the saltier end for me personally. Otherwise, I really enjoyed their special noodle (tea infused noodle). I recommend trying their special noodle. read more

If you're craving a matcha drink, get their brown sugar matcha latte- it's toasty, not too sweet and overall just a good drink. Takes a while to mix the brown sugar but it's worth the effort!! Their takoyaki was also very good- eat it while it's hot. Would definitely come back for the drinks if I'm in the area. read more

Food was incredible. Ramen was delicious and the sashimi was some of the best I've had in the US. Would definitely recommend this place!

Nippon Cha became quickly became one of my favorite spots post lockdown. Something about the food here, just hits all the right notes. Personally, I'm not a big fan of ramen, but Nippon Cha simply does it right it. The rice dishes really brings you back home, as it both looks good and makes you feel at home. They also have an interesting collection of drinks, in which i recommend you definitely try one if you come here. Overall, the food here are visually great and tastes just as good. read more

First off, they offered to refill our tea before we left. Hands down! 5 star service right there! We got the takoyaki, tempura cha soba set, and fried chicken donburi. Takoyaki was crispy on the outside while soft of the inside. The takoyaki here is better than most places I've been to in Queens. The tempura cha soba set was a good sized portion especially if you want to share with someone. They gave a lot of different veggies for the tempura including taro, broccoli, asparagus, eggplant, onion, sweet potato, etc. along with shrimp. The soba noodles had a slight bitterness from the matcha. It was refreshing to actually have matcha soba noodles that had a clear matcha flavor. The sauce for the soba was decent. I felt that if they had added some citrus or maybe radish, it would have completed the taste of the sauce. My boyfriend had the fried chicken donburi and he thought the chicken was not as juicy as other places and wished they would have served it with some sort of spicy mayo rather than the same sauce for the tempura. Overall, his described his dish as a "healthier" version of karaage don. The only down side was that the miso soup was too salty but this may just be because they put too much miso and their ratio was off. I'm sure it's not as salty on other days. Wait staff were really friendly, enthusiastic, and also had great senses of humor. It was easy for people to be able to start up a conversation with them. They have a decent amount of outdoor table space set up. The tables are far enough for social distancing and they also clean and sanitize each table after use. All staff members wear masks and gloves. ANOTHER PLUS: they calculate the tip correctly on their bill. Some restaurants will try to calculate based off the total rather than the subtotal, but this place actually used the correct way with the subtotal. I'd really like to try their matcha drinks next time I come. They had some interesting yuzu combination drinks as well. read more

Packed for Sunday lunch. No parking for several blocks as well. For a party of 6, we waited more than half an hour. The katsu isn't crispy. The curry sauce is strange and not very good. The ramen uses noodles you could find in instant ramen packets. We got the spicy miso ramen and it wasn't anything special. The takoyaki was pretty good however. read more

Took my grandparents here for dinner. It was our first time. And I didn't make a mistake choosing this place! All the food was delicious! From the appetizers to the entrees. Our belly was full but we are so satisfied as well. Sadly, we didn't get to try some of their matcha items on the menu and I heads they're know for it too. read more

I ordered dinner from this location tonight and let me just say this; it did not disappoint. Aside from the fact that I love ramen and can eat them regardless of the weather, the spicy miso ramen with egg noodles was delicious. I wish it were a little spicier, but I quickly solved that by adding some franks hot sauce to get it to my liking. For the price of $16 I do believe they should have added a few more pieces of the chashu pork and an entire egg, not just half of one. I also ordered their new chili wontons, that also felt like it would benefit from a bit more heat. Over all I will definitely be ordering from this location again, specially in the colder months. read more

Many moons ago, I came to Nippon Cha twice and both times were utterly atrocious. The service was awful, the food was subpar, just a bad time. I swore we would never return but pandemic does strange things to people who crave ramen. The wife suggested we give it one more try and I'm happy to say things are far better than they used to be. The menu has a very large selection of ramen and has some unique offerings like soy bean milk broth or tea broth as well as noodles made from tea. The spicy miso ramen was pretty decent. Broth was clean and strong. Noodles were cooked well and they were certainly generous with their cha siu slices (thick but a tad dry). Appetizers were ok too but the best was the yuzu wings. Drinks are also fun as they have matcha infused beer, lemonade and other unique beverages. Overall, their ramen is good but still not on the level of some of the popular shops in Manhattan. Still, definitely the best in eastern Queens. Prices are commensurate with ramen shops in Queens (about $15 bucks a bowl on average). Service was friendly and prompt. Much improved and happy to add it to my Bell Blvd. rotation of eateries. read more

Nippon Cha is a zen oasis in a sea of sports bars and drinking spots along Bell Blvd. Yes, Japanese cuisine existed on Bell for a while mainly in the form of sushi spots (such as my long time fav, Mickey's Place), but there is something that feels different, perhaps elevated, about THIS restaurant on THIS stretch in Queens. The menu is vast, so it leads me to believe they can't get everything perfect (they don't), but of the things I tried the good far outshines the mediocre. The Takoyaki, are crisp, fried balls with a creamy center with tender octopus pieces inside. They were covered with a large mound of bonito flakes. I really enjoyed this opening snack. Popcorn chicken was as crisp outside and tender inside as you would expect - well done with good flavor. I did not try the Yuzu Tebasaki (Japanese fried chicken wings in yuzu and lemon sauce), but it sounds and looks amazing - next time! For my main meal I went with the Unatama Set - Eel with boiled egg in tentsuyu sauce. Served with salad, miso soup, rice, egg custard and pumpkin. I truly enjoyed this since it felt very brunch like with the savory sweet egg and eel served in a little cast iron pan was fantastic with the sticky rice. The simple green salad had a well balanced dressing, not your typical cloying carrot/ginger crap seen in most japanese/sushi spots. The pumpkin was served cold with ginger pieces. The egg custard was perfectly silky smooth, with mushroom and shrimp buried inside. The miso soup was the only miss - it tasted a bit bland or off somehow. The entire set was a nice compliment of flavors and textures that left me truly satisfied. Took me a while to come here, but whenever I heard the Nippon Cha name it was always in the same sentence with ramen, which is what nearly all of the rest of my party of 8 had in one form or another. All seemed satisfied with their choices, but since they are Yelpers I am sure you will hear it directly from them. I had Matcha Yuzu Lemonade, which was very refreshing, but as expected the citrus obliterates any matcha flavor you may be expecting. Their free house tea is excellent. Service is also excellent and friendly! Don't sleep on the Black Label Donut popup (usually Sundays) that is sold in a little closet, which feels a bit like an explicit drug deal - those donuts will make you feel great and get you high! Thanks to fellow Yelp Elite Anna H for putting our group together with this place it was a lot of fun as always! In the midst of our party I looked over to see a woman calmly dining on her own while reading a book and I thought that is also another excellent way to experience this place. Nippon Cha earned 4 stars, but gets the extra star solely because it exists on Bell Blvd. read more

I have been to Nippon Cha a few times and it has been decent every time! My favorite things here are hands down, the drinks! Matcha Yuzu Lemonade is BOMB here! Tochucha Yuzu Lemonade and Matcha Lattes are good too. For the food, I had the Spicy Tuna Donburi which is tochucha rice with spicy tuna, avocado, and soft-boiled egg. It is a light, healthy bowl of goodness. Unatama Set with eel with boiled egg on a skillet was fantastic as well. It was great on top of rice. Overdue review! read more

Finally getting around to reviewing this place. So I've been hearing about this place for awhile and was excited to finally give it a shot. We were greeted and seated very quickly. The menu had a good amount of choices and I was excited to see all their speciality drink options. We ended up getting a ramen bowl and the tuna donburi. I wanted to get more food but unfortunately we got full fairly quickly. They had some awesome drink options and we got one of the yuzu and the matcha, i definitely liked the yuzu drink more - tart and refreshing. I also had to get a dessert. The matcha tirimisu was handmade by the chef, who came out and actually spent some time teaching me about the process for making it. I definitely appreciated and welcomed the time and effort he took to do that. Overall I definitely enjoyed my time eating here. It was a very pleasant experience. The food and drinks were unique and exceptional. I definitely want to return to try more options they have on the menu! read more

This updated review is long overdue. Since the last time I wrote my first review till now, Nippon Cha has changed a lot! I would have to say the thing that improved the most is the customer service. Two years ago, things were spotty and inconsistent. But now, once you come in, you get a warm, friendly greeting, and throughout your stay, tea and water refills are consistent and service is improved a lot overall. Quality of food has improved as well! Their ramen is hands down, some of the best in Queens! You have your choice of the regular ramen noodles or there's now the new tea noodles. There's a few soup bases to choose from; my favorite is the tochucha tea soup base. Regardless of soup base, it's never oily and the flavor is just right. And best of all, their ramen noodles are made in house! Portion size is generous as well. When you stop by, be sure to get their Matcha Yuzu Lemonade! It's amazingly refreshing, with just a hint of matcha and will leave you wanting another one! I believe there's also an alcoholic version of that too..with sake or soju..lol (But don't quote me on that). Some of my favorite appetizers are the yuzu fried chicken, the takoyaki and the grilled squid. You can't go wrong with any of them. And one of the main highlights of Nippon Cha is the donut pop-up on Sunday's, Black Label Donuts! From 11a.m. to whenever they sell out, you can buy fresh, delicious, made from scratch, gourmet donuts, and the genius behind Black Label Donuts, Richard, will be there to explain his creations! Some of his flavors include Rocher, Matcha Creme Brulee, Sake Plum Jelly, Apple Bacon, Five Spice Triple Chocolate, and Kalamansi Buttermilk Lime, to name a few! His donut flavors change weekly and seasonally and you can always keep an eye out for his updates on Facebook or IG (see FB link below). Whenever you're in the mood for delicious ramen, or just good food in a comfortable atmosphere, I highly recommend Nippon Cha! ** https://www.facebook.com/BlackLabelDonuts/?ref=br_rs ** read more

Been here twice so far and the food is overall pretty good and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The first time, I got the Uni Ikura over chilled tochucha ramen noodles and it tasted great and refreshing, perfect on a hot day! There is not a lot of uni in it, but ikura was plentiful and I still felt like I got my money's worth. Everything went well together! My boyfriend enjoyed his tempura soba set a lot. My second visit, I opted for their spicy tuna don. Personally for me, everything on this dish was a little too creamy and heavy together with nothing to combat the heaviness. The runny egg yolk, with the large pieces of avocado and the creamy tuna made it difficult to finish and I kind of wish there was a little acidity in the rice, or some texture in the dish to distract from that. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but I must admit that the outdoor seating was very hot since I went during a hot summer day.. From what I observed the waiters seemed pretty quiet and reserved but they're still nice! It's a nice place with pretty good Japanese food if you are in the area. read more

This is a review of their takeout/delivery service. I ordered their pork miso ramen noodle soup and iced matcha latte with soy milk. Delivery service was quick and despite having my meal sit unattended for an hour, the contents were still warm to touch and the latte cold. To me, this is a testament to how fast and fresh the food is prepared and sent out. The dry items were separated from the miso soup, iced latte outside the package. After nuking the miso soup and pouring it in, I went to town. The soup was tasty, the meat was tender, the vegetables were crunchy and the egg was perfectly boiled. The iced matcha latte was made from quality ingredients and had the perfect sweetness. I look forward to ordering from them again. I even hope to come visit in person soon! read more

We ordered dinner from Nippon Cha yesterday evening. The food was horrible: chicken and fish hard, raw , no taste and frankly tasted old. We could not eat their food. Very disappointing. This was the first and last time we dealt with this restaurant ; we do not recommend their food. read more

My favorite ramen place for years. First time I ordered Matcha Beer and it was actually really good. You can choose the beer from Kirin/Sapporo/Asahi to mix with Matcha. Brown Sugar Matcha Latte is always delicious. The Takoyaki is just perfectly cooked. Must try their ramen. My favorite is Miso ramen or Spicy Miso ramen. Don't forget to upgrade to Tochucha noodles. Cold winter is the perfect time for Udon. Matcha and Tochucha Ice Cream with a little mochi are so good. Matcha Tiramisu is a must too! read more

The three O's....overrated, overhyped, overpriced. Started off with their fry baby octopus that was delicious but for $8 I probably wouldn't order it again. Then, they brought out our ramen, tochucha and negi ramen both with the tea noodles. The tochucha soup base was not my type of soup. Yes it was different and unique but I preferred the negi ramen. The texture of the tea noodles were good. Lastly, they were backed up so our drinks came last. Matcha latte and tochucha cappuccino. The matcha wasn't whipped perfectly so I had to constantly stir the lumps of green tea powder to let r dissolve. The tochucha cappuccino was delicious and probably my only favorite item I liked so far. My friend ordered their special $20 porridge and I had a bowl of it and we were extremely disappointed. Not worth the money and did not like the flavor. read more

Nippon Cha is amazing! The food is clean, tasty and flavorful. I love their ramen. The broth is rich and their noodles have a great texture. They have a great tea selection as well. This business really takes pride in what they serve. I love their matcha and iced tochucha coffee. Also, I love their decor! Beautiful wooden restaurant. Clean and modern. Servers are kind and attentive. I highly suggest coming to Nippon Cha! read more

Always a great place for ramen, izakaya style and sushi. Consistently good quality and delicious food with a wonderfully calm and pleasant attentive staff and bright-enough but not-too-bright lighting. And for the tea lovers you have great options, with their signature Tochucha tea (I would tell you the secret but you need to taste for yourself). And you can buy gift cards that offer 10% off total card priced at/over $100. A+ read more

I came here a total of 2 times, my first experience was pleasant and the ramen was great. However, the octopus balls were hot on the outside and frozen and cold on the inside. That really killed the experience the first time, but with pretty decent ramen, I ignored the bad experience with the frozen octopus balls. I spoke to the waitress, Phoebe who was really nice, she apologized and took the order off of my bill. She said she will inform the kitchen and that they'll make an effort to make it better next time. First time coming here was with a party of 4 and the wait was about 20 minutes. The ramen was one of the best tasting experiences in Queens, so i decided to come back a second time.I came with a party of 3 (myself, and my parents in law) on a weekday around 2 or 3pm, it was pretty empty and we didnt wait to be seated. We ordered 3 tonkatsu ramen and octopus balls as an appetizer. The octopus balls were amazing and exactly how it should be. The ramen however was a very big disappointment. My mother in law found hair in her ramen and I found hair in my extra ramen. That is just nasty. Who appeared to be the boss did offer 20% off as an apology, but 20%???? Shouldn't you just not charge for the disgusting ramen? They were really apologetic and did give us 2 free desserts as an apology, which did taste good. But the fact that there was hair in the food, not just once but twice. There was hair on 2 different orders! This was during a slow time of the day also, there was only 2 other tables. For them to have hair in 2 separate orders makes me worried and question their quality of their ramen and cleanliness. The ramen tasted good, but finding hair on 2 separate orders was unacceptable. I will not be returning to this business establishment. If you do come, be careful. read more

Very cute outdoor seating during COVID. The staff were all very friendly and let us sit down to wait even though we were just getting take-out. My friends ordered a hot Matcha latte and a cold Matcha Yuzu Lemonade. The matcha latte is butter itself so you can adjust sugar based on how much you want to add. We liked the matcha yuzu lemonade although it was pretty sour. My Matcha Latte Float was also not very sweet. Even with the ice cream melted in, it was very matcha-y and milky. Definitely not like the matcha lattes from Starbucks or a bubble tea shop! read more

Wanting to find a Ramen place closer to home, I was hoping that this place would knock it out of the park for me. The food was just ok/solid. Nothing really stood out as a "wow a must order again", among the 4 dishes I ordered. The ramen was solid but the soup lacked depth. The Tochucha porridge was not porridge at all but served with super dry, what seemed like, day old rice with soup hastily ladled on top of it. Although I have to say the seafood in the dish was abundant and fresh. The curry sauce for the katsu curry was very thin and watery. Had the choice of noodles or rice to be served with the Uni Ikura bowl and opted for their signature noodle which were cooked perfectly. Restaurant decor was very nice and the service was a bit rushed though. It's worth it to come for a quick bite but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

This place specializes in that extra healthy grade Matcha that is so good for you. One of those bookmarks that I always wanted to get to (will we all ever get to visit all of our bookmarks? Time will tell!). Located on busy Bell Blvd, but Google makes you approach east of Bell which is great to avoid traffic. Municipal parking east of Bell. Beautiful decor, and polite and helpful waitresses here. The temperature outside was dropping quickly so no alcohol, just delicious brown tea. The Takoyaki and grilled octopus were delicious appetizers. Everyone ordered Ramen. Most soup bases are pork, one or two chicken, and one tea based for my vegan friends out there. I usually don't want pork, but these slices of my spicy Negi ramen were so delicate and tasty. The pork broth was light and clear and equally tasty. Soy sauce half egg, egg noodles, scallions, mustard greens topped it off. This thing was so good! They sell high grade tea also. This is one place you must visit! read more

Came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday!! We arrived at around 1pm for lunch on a Sunday and even though it was a full house, we didn't have to wait long for a table for 2. Being a restaurant that's decorated entirely with wood, I can see how they're trying to emulate restaurants in Japan and create a zen environment. However, their intention is foiled by the fact that it's a small and popular restaurant so instead of eating in a tranquil setting, you're literally going to be inches away from the tables next to you and overhearing all of their conversations. It took a while for the servers to notice us and take our order, completely understandable on such a busy day, but after that, service was impeccable and they came by on several occasions to check up on us and to refill our waters. In terms of the food, we started off with the Japanese fried chicken (tatsuta age) and the Japanese fried chicken wings in yuzu sauce. Both were excellent appetizers! I would say I liked the wings in yuzu sauce more mainly because of the citrusy yuzu sauce. Making a mental note to myself to buy a bottle the next time I go grocery shopping. I also got the tonkatsu ramen with their signature tochucha noodles. I didn't find their tonkatsu broth to be as flavorful as those I've had at other ramen shops in the city but the texture of their tochucha noodles was on point. Pork belly was good. Aside from the crowdedness and noise level, which again is due to their popularity and small space, I pretty much enjoyed everything else about this restaurant. If we had went during an off-time, I'm sure the dining experience would've been perfection. I would definitely consider Nippon Cha a solid option for ramen in Bayside and a wonderful addition to Bell Blvd! read more

I've been coming here & ordering delivery for many years (since they opened!). Ordered food via DoorDash as I do a couple of times a week from here. I got the ribeye don & I always request for it to be well done. Not only was it not well done, it looked like they took leftovers from a few other plays & threw it into the bowl. There was double the amount of meat (cooked 3 different ways- burnt, medium & almost rare). There was also double the amount of rice. A few of the pieces looked so gross- very fatty pieces that look like they sat there too long (it was solid white- not the typical whiteish jelly looking fat). Anyway was so grossed out after a couple of bites I threw it away. Will not be ordering (at least delivery) from here again read more

The sashimis are very small pieces, especially the tuna. Very disappointed. And kind of pricey too. I was expecting larger pieces of fish.

We went on a Saturday around 7:30 pm during pandemic time while only outdoor dining was allowed. 2 blocks of Bell blvd were blocked for traffic during weekends. It was nice dining outdoor without cars racing within 5 ft from you. They were busy when we arrived and we had to wait a bit for the table. We ordered: - Grilled squid with lemon $12 --it was fair -pan fried soba noodles with shrimp and squids $14. worst dish of all. Only two shrimps. Who knows pan fried is a wet noodle dish? Ramen were soggy and there was a pool of broth like sauce at the bottom of it. The dish can definitely use some more seasoning - Panko breaded pork cutlet set meal $17: Both the pork and the rice were dry. Steamed egg custard was good. Miso soup and salad were fair. - Tonkotsu: $12: Classic pork broth with egg and chashu pork. The broth was fair. Nothing exciting. chashu was surprisingly delicious and tender. Well seasoned. Best opponent of the whole meal. Conclusion: I was going to give 2 stars for the food but it deserves another star for good and pleasant customer service. But won't return. read more

Over the years we have grown to love Nippon Cha, however just being open early evening on the 25th compelled me to expedite this review. I usually pig out and sweat on the Tonkotsu Ramen, then cool myself down with a refreshing Tochu Cha Yuzu Lemonade... it doesn't get better folks! AND I ask you, what is better than closing out the 25th then with Ramen?! I then thought about the regrets (sigh =/) and ended up eating a little on the healthier side with one of my favorite dishes that NC has to offer, the ol-reliable Salmon Sashimi Salad. After being quite satisfied, I reflected on how reliable and consistent Nippon Cha has been over the years, so I say to you Nippon Cha, good form sirs and madames, may your business continue to thrive! read more

The husband and I have wanted to try this ramen place for a very long time and we finally did a few months ago with my in-laws as a double date for lunch. The restaurant is very clean, cozy, and it has a very neat interior with a Japan feel. Tonkotsu Ramen $12.00+ Classic pork broth, topped with egg, chashu pork, bamboo shoots, red ginger, and scallion. Spicy Miso Ramen $14.00+ Spicy pork broth with miso, topped with bean sprouts, corn, egg, chashu pork, bamboo shoots, and scallion. Spicy. Takoyaki $8.00 Octopus balls with bonito flakes. Ika Maru Yaki $12.00 Grilled squid with lemon. The broth was flavorful and each bowl of ramen had about 3-4 slices of pork. We all opt out on the regular egg noodles and chose their house-made, tea-flavored ramen noodles, which were very unique tasting!!! The appetizers were amazingly good!

Nice Ramen house in Bayside! If you miss Japan, then come here for ramen and tea! Location: It is located in Bayside, Queens. The interior is a typical Japanese ramen house, simple yet cozy. After eating ramen, don't forget to try Black Label donuts during Sundays inside the restaurant, they have really good donuts. Service: the service was fast, we came here on a Sunday and we got seated immediately. The crew ask our order and like 10 mins we have our order already. Food: MISO RAMEN: huge servings, the broth is soo good and pork is 3 huge pieces. Must have! PORK TONKATSU: it's a little dry or overfried, hopefully they can change it. My sister ordered the TONKATSU SET but hers is also very dry. TAKOYAKI: this is my favorite, great chunks of octopus inside! GYOZA: it was okay, not really exciting about it. PORK BUNS: the pork is dry but the buns are okay. ICED MATCHA LATTE: it is also okay, i didn't finish it cause it taste odd, besides it was on a take a way cup, not in a glass. TOCHU CHA YUZU LEMONADE: we got this for free if you checkin at yelp, it was good and refreshing! One of my favorite! Price rating: 6 out of 10. Some of the food are worth getting some are not.

I really like coming to this place. When you walk in u will feel like you walked into a reman place in Manhattan. The environment is really nice. Nice, clean with good music Around the bar, there is a huge picture about the owner, Tea master. Wow,' no wonder their tea and dessert are so popular. I saw lots customers only came for tea. Maybe I should try next time. We ordered the giant ramen for two. Only need to add $9! Double noodle. Double soup base, double veggie, double meat, double everything! Isn't it amazing? U can also add more noodle. I love their tea noodle. More chewy And u can find Japanese juices here. We tried to find the yuzu soda from Japanese supermarkets, but we couldn't find one. This time, I also tried the pork belly over rice! It's sooooo good. read more

I love how extensive the menu is, this makes me want to come back to try something else. I got the tori kara miso chicken ($14) with tonchucha tea noodles (additional $1). The tea noodles didnt make a difference because the broth overwhelmed the subtle tea flavor of the noodles, so I would suggest not getting the special noodles unless you're having the bowl with the tea broth. The chicken cha shu was also interesting, as I've normally had pork cha shu. Although it was tender, I dont think I'll have this dish again. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance and authenticity of the restaurant and will come back to try more dishes! read more
