| - This restaurant deserves more than the 1 star ratings that I've been seeing on Yelp. The main reason for the low reviews is because most people have been commenting on their experience from their 50% soft opening day, which to be honest, doesn't provide an accurate representation of their food and service.
I personally really enjoyed my experience at Green Tea Restaurant. The first thing I would like to mention is their beautiful interior. Everything is imported from China, even the bricks on the walls. The design and pieces in the restaurant give you an authentic feel and great experience which is different from other Chinese restaurants. There is a variety of different seating, from 4 person booths, larger circular booth-like tables, wooden 4 person tables, and even a lovely VIP room. Inside the VIP room are beautiful blue pots lined up along the ceiling.
I had a variety of dishes, ranging from the sweet and sour pork ribs, assorted skewers, boiled chicken and pig tripe with white pepper in broth, barbeque pork, fire shrimp, pea sprouts in golden soup, green tea pancake, and the bread temptation. The sweet and sour pork ribs, soup, green tea pancake, and bread temptation were my favourites.
The sweet and sour pork ribs are very different as it has a glaze. This is great for people who enjoy sweet foods. For dessert lovers, you have to try the green tea pancakes and the bread temptation. The green tea pancakes are best when they're hot as you can really taste the toasty sesame seeds and the warm taro puree in the inside. The Bread temptation is really nice because it's simple and light. It's basically a bread block with some butter and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's definitely a good option if you're going for the brick blocks without all the syrups and sauces from other restaurants. The bread is also sooo fluffy!!
Overall, this restaurant has great options, about 80 items on their menu. It's a good place for families to dine in and if you want tasty Chinese food, you really get the quality and presentation. I will be back again to try their other dishes!
