    This was my go to place for easy Taiwanese food without too much of a wait. I haven't been back for a while and decided to eat here. There's a variety of dishes to choose from- noodles, rice, appetizers and combo deals. We ordered 2 combos which came with a main, an appetizer, soup and dessert and a drink. We had the braised beef noodles with green tea noodles, popcorn chicken, minced pork and sausage & egg on rice and chose the steamed egg and wanton soup and fish ball soup for the two combos. Milk tea came with the combos and you can upgrade with toppings for additional cost. The portions are large and the taste was average but satisfied the cravings.

    I've never been to this location before, so I was surprised by how big it is on the inside. There is a large retail area for tea, and a very big area for the restaurant. We came for a late afternoon snack, and I ordered the apple tea with tapioca and some fried pork chop to munch on. The pork chop was soft and tender, and went wrong with the drink. The menu is extensive with many menu options, so it is easy to find something that you would want. A nice place to take a break.

    I am really surprised by how big this restaurant is. And that it serves food. And that the menu offerings are extensive. At other Ten Ren's location i visited, it's more of a tea shop. So this is cool. They have a la cart items as well as special combo meals for $25.50. I ordered green tea ginseng chicken steamed tofu Taiwanese meat ball soup Jasmine tea jello Rice Salad Drink There were so much to choose from, and I will be going back again!!!

    The OG location of Ten Ren's. I used to come here a lot during high school days. This place was absolutely RAMMED on Friday night when we visited recently, and it was loud af, so we also had to talk really loudly through the noise. It was also a bit hard to flag down servers, very friendly staff, but I know they are trying their best to serve everyone in a timely manner. I love how through all the chaos, the staff was still able to help me surprise my friend for her birthday lol. Food and drinks are always good; no complaint.

    It's been a while since I dined in at this location, and our family had a lovely lunch. We all ordered the meal sets for $25.50 per person, which includes soup, a side dish, a main course, a drink and dessert: *Osmanthus Steamed Fish *Green Tea Ginseng Chicken *Crispy Fish Fillet *Taiwanese Basil Chicken It may not seem like much food, but it was filling. The service was efficient, although they did mix up our drinks, and the steamed egg on two of our combos was inconsistent (one was perfect, one was too runny). The mango yogurt pudding is one of the best I've had. The texture is perfect, not too jiggly or firm, and perfectly sweetened. The prices are a bit steep, but the overall experience was enjoyable. Notes: *Rice is included *Extra charge for noodle soup

    The matcha Taiwanese shaved ice was sooo good. You have a good selection of choices, up to 3, to choose from. The shaved ice came in an insulated tote bag where you can keep the shaved ice cold while commuting.

    This location is a lively place in the evening & is fun place to get together with friends especially your girlfriends. The place is big, it is nicely decorated, the food is good and the service is decent for being such a busy place. They also let you bring in a birthday cake and will supply you with everything to serve & eat it. We always have a great time here. It's uptown, parking is free and there is always a parking space available.

    Pu Erh Tea

    We expected this Ten Ren's Tea to be a regular boba shop, but this location is a full sit-down service with food, tea, and other drinks. There were so many people here this past Sunday evening at 10:30 PM enjoying food and drinks. Our server was helpful and willing to share her favorite drinks. TT09 PU ERH TEA - 8.90 I was really full and wanted a traditional set to help digest food. I was able to get a sizable tea pot with a small tea cup on the side. Even after letting the tea steep for a few minutes, it was still extremely diluted. The color was there, but I felt like I was drinking hot water. Even after 20 or so minutes, the tea was still diluted but now with an over-steeped, astringent flavor. Not a fan, I would not recommend this given how expensive it was. My friends got some fun, fruity iced teas that they enjoyed with boba and other toppings. While they enjoyed it, they didn't think it was comparable to others they've had at a Ten Ren in Taiwan. Maybe the food here is better, but the drinks (especially the traditional tea) were not great.

    Came on a weekday. There were a fair bit of customers, but we did not have to wait for a table. -- Taiwanese sausage with minced pork rice bowl with egg: very filling. It was a daily special so it came with your choice of drink (hot or cold). -- Taiwanese crispy chicken with minced pork rice bowl with egg: chicken was well seasoned. Does not automatically come with dipping sauce (have to ask for that). Very filling as well

    The food is on the average size and tastes ok. It will probably leave you 80% full. We had the Dan Dan cutlet soup which tasted better the first time we had it. This time around it tasted more bland. We also ordered the crispy chicken and chicken cutlet from the appetizer selection. The crispy chicken tasted better and better sized portion than the chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet was a pretty small portion and the breading was falling off. The service was good, and the place was a nice place to gather and chat with friends.

    Mango passionfruit slush

    Best bubble tea - hands down. If there is one bubble tea that is really based on tea quality and flavour, Ten Ren's Tea takes the spot. It's expensive, but worth the price point - especially their mango slush! Came for a super casual dinner and was very pleased with my mango passionfruit bubble tea. Like I said - hits the spot every time. This is a very low key bubble tea shop that also serves Taiwanese food. The traditional taiwanese rice bowl was my favourite. Paired with their popcorn chicken which is always also a must when getting anything from the Taiwanese cuisine. Portions are on the smaller side here with prices being slightly more expensive than what you'd expect (especially for the portion size). But something about this place was really good for me, perhaps the pure nostalgia I get when dining here from my childhood. The braised chicken dish that came in an individual hot pot was not my favourite but not too bad. Noodle soups were okay. Pan seared chicken with the mixed noodle was very delicious though. It's not my ideal place to dine at. But the bubble tea really is top notch.

    Oolong milk tea

    Great tea spot for food and drink! The tea-infused foods are truly a highlight and make their offings quite unique. Their tea foods are a must-try in my opinion! Their drinks all use high quality tea, but it's very no frills. It's your typical milk tea fare. The food is really the highlight in my opinion! They have an array of Taiwanese classics, but many come with tea infusions! I really recommend the iron goddess braised pork--its so good! The tea-infused foods are all super unique, I definitely recommend trying them! I want to try to make these at home but I feel like it may be a disaster waiting to happen. This is also an awesome spot to chill. Their location is very spacious and mildly busy (really depends on when you come).

    Ordered the new guava drink series with jelly and my bf got the milk tea. I usually love guava, but this was way too sweet for my taste. Also ordered the milk tea, but that was sweet as well. The pricing for each drink were about $8+ each but for sure served in a tall glass. The inside of this place was pretty dead, we did go at night around 8pm though. They offer a variety of food. I have yet to try.

    A beautifully atmospheric afternoon tea spot in Toronto -- After Queen Tea Shop…read more This is one of those places that feels special the moment you walk in. The space is filled with vintage European charm, with delicate decor and thoughtful details everywhere you look. It has a soft, almost dreamlike quality to it. When we arrived, the room was already filled with elegantly dressed older ladies, which somehow made the experience feel even more authentic, like stepping into a quiet London afternoon. The whole atmosphere is incredibly calming. The afternoon tea set is generous and thoughtfully arranged. Each guest gets their own pot of tea, and I chose a lemon mango blend that paired beautifully with the desserts. It was light, refreshing, and balanced out the sweetness perfectly. It turned into one of those afternoons where you naturally slow down, enjoying both the food and the moment. And of course, everything photographs beautifully. A small tip--reservations are highly recommended. Even on a weekday, it fills up quickly, and it would be a shame to miss out.

    Rating 2.5/5 - rounding up…read more Came here for a birthday celebration for my friends. They were the ones who decided on the location and I'm coming in here blind. This is my second time at a high tea place so I was comparing with one in Oakville. The restaurant is a small place with a few seats so making a reservation is best. This restaurant is within a small plaza within the mall itself. Beautiful decor representing English Victorian-like theme with dishes and plating presentation. I found this place to not be worth the price point in my opinion. The food was just mediocre. The egg sandwich was not good at all. There were too much green onions. The scones were not fresh and just too hard. The cucumber sandwich was not good either, it had a weird taste, I can't even describe it. I got the dulce de leche tea which tasted like water tea, I did not taste anything caramel or sweetness to it. Overall paying over $65 per person I expected a better taste than what I got. I would not come here again.

Once inside you are shown to the parole and given a bit of a history lesson. Once you are seated you are given a binder describing over 70 teas. You get to choose your tea and your teapot. A series of serving occur with homemade mini sandwiches and sweets. The whole tea takes at least 90mins and is very relaxing and fun. Your hostess is lovely and very knowledgeable and she tries to make as authentic an experience as possible. You do need reservations and honestly it's worth the drive for an excellent experience at bottom level prices.

    Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

I ordered an afternoon tea set, as well as an extra breakfast burrito for my guest and I to share. There is a tea menu to look at all the various options they have. It was nice to see that they had many options to choose. Our set came with mini sandwiches, scones and dessert and fruits. I would definitely come back to visit - it would be nice to come in the summer and book a table out on their patio.
