Orchid Tea Cafe - Yummy fried rice , walovi, lychee drink - Tea Rooms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A very sweet and cozy little Chinese owned cafe that is reminiscent of a warm living room kind of setup. The owner was friendly, kind, and receptive towards listening to feedback to continue to improve and provide diners with the best experience possible! She spoke Cantonese, Mandarin and English, which was very impressive! I got the matcha red bean drink with tapioca, which was very creamy and not overly sweet; it's cute that it comes in a beer mug which adds to its charm. The volcano mussels were very flavorful, meaty, and reasonably priced, so highly recommend! The shrimp and sausage pasta was also very delicious, but could be improved easily by adding a little bit more cheese, bit more sausage, and onions, all of which would add more complexity to the dish to simply make it the perfect comfort food! The egg waffle was by far the BEST egg waffles you can find in all of NYC in my opinion; the side around each egg waffle was deliciously crunchy, and the interior was soft with a light egg flavor that doesn't taste as artificial as many other egg waffle places! I bought some home for my daughter and "accidentally" ate half haha, and my daughter loved it! So please give their plain egg waffle a try and enjoy its simplistic yet perfectly balanced flavor profile! Overall I had such an amazing time here and will definitely come back with my family to try the many other dishes they have to offer! Thank you so much for reading and best of luck! (: read more

Came here on a Friday night. There was a little bit of a wait because there were a few people in front of me and I ordered a snack, but there's tables for you to sit and wait at. The bubble tea tasted very fresh and had a strong tea flavor. We ordered a brown sugar milk tea and a jasmine milk tea. The bubble tea wasn't overly sweet like some of chain places. The walnut shrimp was delicious! Great tasting sauce and good ratio of sauce to shrimp. There's broccoli underneath for presentation - I don't typically eat that. Will be coming back to try more things! Note that they are cash only. read more

HOW WAS THE ATMOSPHERE? We had an amazing evening at the Orchid Tea Cafe. Upon walking in, it was a busy but calm atmosphere! Definitely unique decor! Because the space is so small, we called beforehand to make sure there was a table available, and when we came in, she asked if we called and definitely accommodated us! Even if I am not in the neighborhood, this is a great spot to travel to when I want a nice quiet, cozy place with a Amazing Food and great service to meet up with a friend or go out on a date HOW WAS THE FOOD? We got Rose Black Wolfberry Tea, a hot coffee boba (no bubbles), the volcano mussels, the cucumber salad, and the seafood spaghetti Volcano Mussels and Spicy cucumber salad (wasn't that spicy- but I believe you can adjust spiciness) both were a 10 out of 10 My friend had the spaghetti seafood pasta. She would probably say it was a 7.5/10. They ran out of tapioca bubbles, so we were not able to try them. WAS THE SERVICE GOOD? I believe we were helped by the owner of the shop? We met her son and immediately felt right at home. It was like she welcomed us right in. Even though they were consistently receiving orders, she was still very attentive and answered all of our questions WILL WE COME BACK? When I am in the neighborhood, I will 100% be returning back - #1 for the service #2 for the flavor of food ( am a big flavor snob) and #3 for the atmosphere read more

Super friendly and cozy cafe with snacks and lovingly hand crafted bubble teas served in big mason jars. I went after school with the kids since we were in the neighborhood and sat drawing and doing a bit of homework as we watched regulars stop by and chat with each other and with the owner/counterperson. There is a community vibe and that extends to the entire globe, judging from all the international hand drawn messages of love and cute doodles from every corner of the earth hung on the back wall. We had three perfect teas: jasmine milk, brown sugar milk, and mango milk (with real diced mango). All of them perfectly delicious and fresh. I only wish it was closer to me so I would visit more often! read more

Food is so delicious! Make sure you go with plenty of time - service is slow, I think there's two locations? We went to the one on the corner of 8th Ave and 47th st. Probably about 8 tables. I got the orchid noodle soup and my husband got the shrimp fried rice. Both delicious. The fried rice comes out covered by an egg in the shape of a dome and it looks beautiful and tastes great. Nice ambiance - I like the flower lampshades. read more

Very cute, cozy drink/hang out spot in Sunset Park -- a hidden gem. It's on a side street so it might be hard to find and not much people know about it. They also have a sister cafe by same name down the avenue which offers more food. This spot is more for a hang out spot with your friends after dinner. The place is small and only have about two tables. However, the ambiance is great. The place is decorated with plants, books, games. It really gives off that cozy, homey vibe. The drinks are great. I just wish they offer more dessert variety. FYI -- Cash only. read more

This place is good if you want a little bit of everything. It has the top dim sum options, along with some hong kong style options like baked spaghettis and wonton noodles. Tried mostly their dim sums which I must say are surprisingly good. Their hargows are fresh and yummy. I love their egg yolk custard buns that are black. Their spare ribs are tasty and not super fatty like dimsum parlors. We also tried one of the baked spaghettis which my daughter loved. I'm okay with it but she likes that sweetness. It's a small cafe with a few tables and what seems like maybe outdoor seating is possible. read more

New favorite cafe in this neighborhood! Cozy is definitely the right word to describe this teeny tiny shop which seats 3 tables. The owner was extremely friendly and was very attentive when making my drink to ensure the taste and presentation was solid. The decoration was so cute and I couldn't help but take tons of photos and videos. Definitely a cute date spot for snacks and drinks. I got the mango orange tea and it is so refreshing and filled with tons of fresh fruit! I am definitely coming back here again. read more

It is a really nice, cozy, and great small business. The owner is the sweetest woman ever. I first found this cafe with my friend around late 2020 or early 2021, and it's just as good as before. The drinks are all made with fresh ingredients. I have not tried the food items, but my friend has, and he's enjoyed it. Definitely get fruit drinks. Note: Be prepared to wait. Don't expect drinks to come quickly and leave within minutes at like at other Boba shops. Also, do check their hours ahead of time as they may be inconsistent with the days they're opened. Suggest calling to make sure. read more

Orchid Tea Cafe - Fried rice with pork chop - Tea Rooms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This small tea shop is really hidden and its usually closed whenever I past by. Checked Yelp to make sure their opening time and finally walked in to try it out. Ordered the Egg Waffle with Mochi ice cream for dine-in (can't really carry my ice cream to-go). Boss lady moved tables and chairs around for me to at least sit and enjoy my order. Also, ordered the Walnut Shrimp ($6) for takeout; so I'll have food for dinner. The Egg waffle was burnt and hard to bite into, mochi ice cream didn't really help much, even with all the whipped cream on top~ No go for this dessert. The walnut Shrimp tasted amazing with this mayo Sriracha sauce that's tangy and delightful. Will swing by next time for the Walnut Shrimp again read more

The Orchid Tea Cafe was a wonderful find! The dim sum were simply the best I've ever eaten, and I have about 40 years of experience eating dim sum. They were exquisitely fresh, and the flavors were amazing. For example, the mushroom dim sum were completely filled with sliced mushrooms that mixed a variety of different umami flavors. Our server was helpful, friendly, and efficient, and the restaurant itself is a lovely place to sit and relax. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would visit frequently. PS, the red tea was delicious. read more

What a cool independent tea shop! Very interesting decor inside- really reminded me of the tiny Tokyo places you would find down an alley. There's food as well as really amazing fruit tea. At first, I was thinking, "how good can tea be?" Well look no further. They have this amazing machine that shakes the tea up with fruit juices. The woman is so lovely and the tea is made with complete care. They are also open fairly late for this neighborhood! High marks all around. read more

Amazing service! Excellent food. Great ambiance. Service was super nice and chill. Food was delicious. Phenomenal!!!!

I have mixed feelings about this place since the waiter here is well... half constantly trying to offer me discounts, while giving me personal suggestions on what tastes best. But the what's weird is how she keeps telling me to be quiet as she's giving suggestions and discounts, or telling me to hide my money, or trying to prevent me from giving a lot for tips. For the record, I'm absolutely fine with this, and best meal I've eaten in a long time. Don't know reverse psychology so I'm guessing she's just a very good waiter. Anyways overall the service is z read more

Came here with my family before heading to a concert and we loved it! The teas were delectable and the seafood baked roll was AMAZING!

Great ambiance and friendly service. Tried the brown sugar bubble tea and loved it. Interestingly their sugar levels seem to only be 100%, 50%, 30%, and 0 where I usually prefer a 70%. read more

I finally walked in after being intrigued by this new place. Walking in I was stuck by the decor, light, and coziness of the place. Asian-run but a lot of English books in shelves. I'd like to see this place thrive. After living in this nabe for eight years I've gotten a bit jaded, this is a place I'd like to spend time in! About to get my first taro bubble tea & snack here, will follow up. read more

SUCH a cute spot! It feels like you're in a beautiful, cozy living room.
