  • We were looking for something new to try and came up upon this restaurant on the blogTO. From the photos and review we decided it was worth a try. Green Tea restaurant is located in FMP which can be very busy, especially on weekends. Get there early for better parking. We called in to get a reservation for 6:00pm for 6 people. When we got there we were told that they don't take reservations for less than 8 people! There was already a bunch of people waiting in the doorway and the restaurant was full. I told the lady that I had called at 12 that afternoon and was told that "6 people at 6:00 was fine." I also said that I spoke to a guy since the person who answered the phone spoke Mandarin and she handed me off to a guy. Well, she then said, "You spoke to a guy? There's only one guy that works here. I'll check with him." Luckily that guy confirmed that he did take our reservation and we got the next available table. We took the advice from the blog and tried the pig stomach soup which was very flavourful (but super heavy on the white pepper). We also tried the sticky rice lotus which is a cold dish and was quite tasty and sweet. Two "signature" dishes: crispy chicken and bbq pork (not the typical Cantonese style) came on hot plates/grills that kept the meat hot. The chicken was crispy and came with a few dipping "sauces". It was a hit with the kids. The pork was more like pork belly that was salted? It was too salty for my taste. In Chinese ?????? literally translates into "My super vermicelli" was super yummy! The kids love noodles and the name just drew my attention. For dessert we just had to try the giant bread with ice cream on top. I've never seen this before and so we were enticed to give it a try. It is this giant loaf that takes 20 mins to make after ordering so plan ahead if you decide to order it. From first glance it just looks like a loaf that has been hollowed out, re-stuffed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Our party looked at it and decided that it was best to take the ice cream off and divide the insides. A closer inspection revealed several layers of "cubed" bread with a sweet butter melted on it (honey maybe?). Anyhow, it was delicious! Overall I would have to say that given the food taste and quantity, I find it quite pricey for Chinese food. The bill for two kids and four adults came to just over $100 (before tip). We did not buy their $20 "membership card" which gets you the lower price for all the dishes ($2 each dish). The service was so-so as we had asked for a communal pair of chopsticks and they never came, extra sharing bowls which also never came and we had to help ourselves to them from the shelf. For the dessert, it only came with two forks (for 6 people) and so we had to ask again and they gave us plastic forks! (Remember every plastic fork you've ever used is STILL out there somewhere!) We had to ask for the bill twice as the kids were getting antsy (past their bedtime). We originally planned to make a decision in the card after we tried the food. We didn't buy it. Not sure if we'll come back?
