| - I just discovered this place this week when a friend invited me to go out for lunch to lament about the passing of Prince. I had already eaten, so I wasn't that hungry but I did get some snacks, and I did get possibly the best jasmine green tea I'd ever gotten at a restaurant. It was steeped to perfection (and you know how easy it is to over-steep green tea), and it was THE perfect temperature for drinking. At first, I was thinking that they were taking a whiiiiiiile to bring my tea to the table, but now I understand why! They simply wanted to bring me the perfect cup, ready to sip right away.
Nos Thés has a *massive* selection of teas - their speciality is cold bubble teas of every possible mixture, but they will do any tea choice hot as well. I can imagine that mid-summer, this place is totally hopping.
The meal choices are also plenty. I had a little plate of spring rolls, which were average. My friend had a curry dish which was soooooo much food (mainly a whole lot of rice), but she really enjoyed it, and she's come numerous times to this place, so obviously something good is happening!
I really enjoyed the whole high-ceilinged, open, airy atmosphere of the interior. It's a breathable space, which I appreciate. Our servers were friendly and in control, which speaks of competence at what they do. I think I'll be back again when I'm slightly more famished, so that I can get a better sense of the quality of the food. Also, maybe I'll taste more of what I'm consuming when I'm not choking on the loss of a pop culture icon who marked my entry into adulthood!
It's amazing how these places of public food consumption become landmarks for big moments in our lives.
