What a beautiful tea house! Loved the holiday music in the establishment. We ended up having lattes instead of tea along with French Fries, Chicken Wings and a chocolate roll cake. All were delish! Never realized this place was here and so close to me! Only realized this after I saw reviews on Yelp! Service was friendly and they have call buttons at each table.
We ordered the Rock Tea and it was one of the nicest experiences I've ever had with Tea. The owner said that tea is strong, yet it smelled and tasted really refreshing and soft. Food exceeded my expectations. My favorite is the rice noodle, which wasn't on menu yet. Make sure you ask them what they can make in house because they seem to try out different things often. The persimmon cake was cold and complemented very well with the crispy fried taro cake. I wouldn't recommend the sweet potato because it was a little too sweet for me, but nothing wrong with it either. Cold beef has a very nice flavor and is paired well with beer, but it's a bit too hard for me to chew.
First time there Took the owner's recommendations: Rock tea oolong tea for winter And Persimmon cheese cakes for dessert While the tea seeped, we soaked in the ambience of this aesthetic place And then came the tea It was beautiful and refreshing and all things nice The persimmon cheese cakes were a delight - just persimmon rolls with cream cheese, nuts and seeds Can't wait to visit again with more friends and family
This tea shop just opened 6 months ago, still pretty new and low key in the neighborhood. However I'm so happy to find this Chinese fine tea place. The store is beautifully decorated and very cozy. That already gave me very good first impression. It is such a relaxation to enjoy the tea and snacks in an artistic presentation. We chose combo for 4 ppl for $80 which included tea, snacks, and fruit. The tea was in a boiling pot, and we spooned out tea into a small cup. It is surely interesting to taste the tea in a different way from hot steeping. I loved my white tea with sweet osmanthus. The fragrance is not too strong but refreshing. They offered a great varieties of snacks too. My favorite is the black sesame pudding. Super smooth, perfectly sweet with a layer of cream. After tea tasting, we ordered some savory appetizers from the kitchen. I was really impressed by the Yuzu chicken wing, so crispy and juicy. Yuzu sauce just made the chicken less oily. Tofu and ribs were delish and full of flavors too. Overall I strongly recommend this unique and elegant tea shop. The restaurant also has private section for big groups. I will definitely go back there and try the essential oil making session for holiday seasons.
Came here for the first time with my friends. They open later in the afternoon however, we arrived an hour earlier and they allowed us in bc of a private event also happening. The staff was patient however, we did have to wait a while for the baskets of food to arrive bc there was only one employee running back and forth. Super unique concept, definitely check it out if you want to experience a true Chinese tea time experience. You get to choose your tea, and the bundle set comes with dried goodies, sweets, and fresh fruit. I had a fun time and the aesthetic was stunning!
My friend wanted to come to Say Hi to have an authentic Chinese tea experience. We were a little confused as to how to order and what to do when we walked in so we asked the server for a suggestion. We were suggested Rock Tea or the White Tea selection for the winter time. We chose the 2019 White Peony Tea ($30). The staff makes the tea in front of you. He put the tea leaves into a cup and seeps it into a small tea pot, to then be served into small cups again. For our tea, I think we were able to seep the tea for ~5 rounds because the tea started to lose color, hence finishing the session. It was interesting and you don't feel rushed so can spend lots of time there. We were seated in the patio area where you get an outside view. It was very relaxing, cozy, and felt like we were camping in this aesthetic place. The main con is that the bathrooms are not well kept, so they were pretty dirty when we were there.
Hidden gem in flushing area -cozy/quiet atmosphere (great for girls talks) -friendly staffs -well-balanced traditional Chinese tea-infused cocktails (ask for their hidden menu) -not so sweet traditional Asian dessert (highly recommend taro cake and jasmine tea jelly) We didn't get the chance to try their tea sets as we wanted to drink but was tired of the usual bars we go to. I'll be a regular here.
This place is so cute and so cozy and perfect for a long date night or catching up with friends. The only downside I see is they charge per person so definitely not a place you want to go to if you just want to come chill with your friends and not have the tea The tea itself is definitely high quality and love that they let you flavor your tea yourself. The snacks they provided were also fresh and complimented the tea well. You don't get to choose the snacks but I think they planned it well enough. Nothing mind blowing but good! The service was ok. They pretty much left you alone and which was ok and they just come when you press the call button. All in all, I think it was a great experience. Very Instagrammable and you don't feel rushed so can spend lots of time there.
First time here, a very interesting place service 5/5 very nice and intro since we were trying to fig out how it works since the menu was a little confused snacks 4/5 very simple many choices pre-set 50 for 2 Tea 5/5 had white tea with rose on the lighter side but was great for my taste seats 3/5 not my favor, i had to stand up every 30 mins to walk around, way too low for me. Japanese style, perhab takes time to get use to.
Love this tea shop! It's totally unique from all the cafes and bubble tea places. My husband and I came on a hot summer day and I regretfully insisted we sit in the windowed room for the vibes while we drink our hot tea but I still had a blast. The servers were very nice, answered any questions we had and promptly came over when we rang the bell. We got the tea for two which allowed us to select a tea from a choice of 4 teas, and add a floral add on. They bring you a big cauldron of tea and a canteen of water to refill as we like. We happily drank tea and ate the little beautiful desserts that came out (dried persimmon rolled with cream cheese (?), taro cakes, some kind of neutral pudding, fruits, nuts, etc. It's a great place to just chill that's different from everything else being offered. Only drawbacks is that they open a bit late (2pm) so I could not sleep that night due to the caffeine and the low chairs are incredibly uncomfortable and my butt has not recovered even after a week. But I'm giving 5 stars and taking melatonin and a cushion next time.
Super cute and great vibe. I love the traditional chinese tea setting and love the section that is built outdoors so there's plenty of light and feels like you are outside but you are still indoors. Pro: good tea, good dessert, good set, food is hit or miss but generally ok Con: Timed seating, low chairs without backs, servers are not great with English
Absolutely cute and stunning! Was getting sick and tired of all those "dessert tea house" "high tea" type of places. Sometimes I just want quality tea and authenticity. This place speaks for itself! Menu can be a bit confusing if you're not Chinese but do not worry, the staffing there have great service! They will explain every thing to you throughly. Great place for tea, snacks and chatting. (Recommended with 4 guest because that's when things get cute and fancy!) I hope this place stays around for a long time! I want go come back already !
I came here one evening as a spot to hang out with friends and it was chill. While Say Hi serves as a tea house during the day, at night, they become more of a bar. The inside is absolutely beautiful and while they have tables, they also have more traditional floor seating. We got a couple bites of food to eat, some of their tea, and some cocktails. Their food was very mediocre, at best. While the persimmon cake SEEMED to be made in house, it was very clear that everything off their food menu required minimal preparation (ie. for the dumplings, it was just har cow). I also thought their cocktails were okay, and out of the three we got, none stood out to me. I did enjoy their tea, however. But, it was also fairly expensive for what it was (~$50). Overall, I thought this spot was okay for the price and I'm not sure I would return. read more

I honestly really enjoyed getting afternoon tea here after lunch. There were a bunch of items that were unavailable when we went but the server made his recommendations. Both desserts were really good! read more

Love this tea place! Order the 9 dessert tea set where you can choose a black, white, puer tea, the choose a flower tea to add towards the end. Perfect date spot with activities such as calligraphy, candle making, etc. read more

Loved the assortment of desserts, including fruits, nuts, mochi, and mooncake like pastries. Especially enjoyed the pork jerky and got refill for that which I believe you have to pay for. Great selection of tea to choose from and you can also add brown sugar, longan, and dates to it. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Pretty nice place. Can't find an alternative in Manhattan, Queens nor in BK. A tips for everyone ( dress up when going, this place is perfect for taking WOW photos ! ! ! ) The tea from there is soooooo good. Definitely out of my expectation. Gotta try their sweet potato with ice cream on. And also don't forget to make reservation to sit in the glass garden house, that's the best seats for drinking the tea. read more
