Each of us enjoyed the salmon Bento Box, which came with a large portion of perfectly cooked salmon, 4 pieces of sweet potato, broccoli flowerets, two seaweed leaves and a mound of rice topped with savory spices. The ginger limeade was refreshing on a very hot day. The place was busy but the folks kept the tables bussed and clean.

The food, the service, and the dining area are incredible. Do not skip out on trying this place. Their Korean BBQ and Vegan sandwiches are delicious!

My new favorite lunch spot!! Don’t be fooled by the name of the restaurant—it’s not just teas here—there’s a good variety of food options to eat! I’ve been here three times this past month just to try a variety of their dishes and so far have not been let down. Highly recommend the “bento boxes” for lunch—it’s a huge portion with your meat option and three sides. My favorites are the Korean Beef Brisket and Panko Fried Chicken Bento Boxes! If you’re not feeling the bento box style, you can order these as “side dishes” which is a huge portion too. The Thai Chicken Curry is also delicious—tons of chicken meat and well flavored. It’s a cafe style—you order at the register, wait for your food and then bring it to your table. Food comes out fairly quick!

Tea is great as usual. Tried the Thai chicken curry for lunch and while it’s not an authentic version (which I don’t think they intend it to be), it tasted great and it’s one of the most unique Thai curries I’ve had with grilled/smoked veggies in it.

I got the udon with vegetables, which I enjoyed. The udon noodles were nice and chewy, like they should be. It was very filling. I also got the classic milk tea with boba pearls, which was good. I ordered everything eat-in and was happily surprised that even the boba was served in a real glass and not in a plastic take away cup. It's nice that they are eco friendly and conscious of the plastic waste produced. I will definitely be returning.

Great spot for tea and healthy food, lovely presentation bento box. I had the lightly spicy vegan bean cakes today--Delicious and filling. Incredible selection of teas and tea accessories. Plesant staff. Will take friends there! Great location, tasteful casual decor, lots of windows.

Fresh food at an incredibly affordable price point, I was very surprised! The people who work here are super nice and genuine, the food was a bonus!!! I had the lentil soup, chicken curry and boba tea, which were VERY generous portions. Clean restaurant with lots of natural light and comfortable seating made for a great lunch. Dining amongst the men and women that serve our nation’s capitol, our country and the White House, was a new experience for me.

It was so delicious and perfectly priced! I got a Salmon Cake Sandwich (all their sandwiches are on ciabatta) and a ginger limeade that was not too sweet but just right.
