| - Soohyang was definitely a unique experience. I was surprised by the simple and modern decor. The owner greeted my companion and I, and brought over a very cute booklet containing all the info and benefits of each tea. This isn't your typical tea house, the owner did her best to educate customers of Korean culture, and recommended tea suitable for us. We ended up getting the jujube tea (never had it, surprisingly good), and the ssangwhacha (not as bitter as imagined, which is good). The tea was good but the price might be a little much. I guess the price premium can be justified by the experience and environment.
For snacks we ordered the honey butter cheese sweet potato, green tea ice cream with matcha waffle, and Korean rice cake with honey. All the food items were pretty good. I felt the sweet potato could use a little more cheese (could just be due to my love for cheese), and the rice cake was a tad overpriced as it really was just small pieces of rice cake. Highlight of the meal, though, was definitely the green tea ice cream. The taste of green tea was very strong, definitely one of the best ones I've had around GTA.
Overall, a very cute and relaxing place to hang out with friends or just to read a book. Great experience. Would recommend to anyone.
