Only two hours after landing, and the five of us were already a lil' bit hazy. Add one deceptively strong Mai-Tai (from the Mai-Tai Bar @ Imperial Palace), and the idea of venturing elsewhere for something to eat gives way to "eff-it, let's just eat somewhere here..."
Set out on its lonesome at the top of an escalator towards the back of the casino floor, Teahouse (like Imperial Palace itself) is kind of a spot of tarnish amongst all that glimmer and shine of [mostly] new/remodeled establishments on "the strip". Still, it's a matter of perspective; decent eats and/or passable lodging, on the cheap!
The Teahouse has the decor and stylishness of a posh Chinese restaurant... from the Seventies.
Decor aside, the menu offerings aren't bad, nor are they constrained to pseudo-asian fare. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find anything on the menu that was in the least bit asian. Between the five of us, we opted for the Pot Roast Dinner, Cheesesteak sandwich, and the meatloaf...Strictly diner Americana food, but [surprisingly] done well and generous.
Good service; I forgot our waitresses name... cute... piercings... tattoos...sense of humor... but she was fast and attentive. And probably a lil' relieved to have some younger, boisterous, albeit drunk, clientele for the evening. =P
Teahouse @ Imperial Palace... nothing to rave about and not really anything to seek out. But if you happen to be staying at IP (because its dirt cheap for being smack dab in the middle of the strip!), then Teahouse is a definite "on a budget", head-spinning-from-alcohol food option...
