  • Restaurant: Go for Tea Cuisine: Coffee/Tea/Chinese Location: Thornhill Address: 230 Commerce Valley Dr E Price Range: $10-15 1: Poor 2: OK 3: Good 4: Very Good 5: Excellent Food: 5 Service: 2 Ambiance: 3 Overall: 4 Extra information: *HongKong Cafe + BBTea store *Large seating area *Party room avail as well as outside seating *Can go for meals or just drinks As a Vancouverite, I come from the city of bubbletea. There is a bubbletea store in every corner no matter where you go in Vancouver. Ever since it originally became popular in Taiwan and the trend migrated to Vancouver, I was there. Starting with my taro bubbletea, oreo smoothie, fresh strawberry slush and the odd mint milktea- without a doubt I can say I know my bubbletea. As I got older, bubbletea food places became popular as well. You start from the basics, salty & peppery chicken, marinated chicken wings to condensed milk toast. You name it? I've had it. Bubbletea food should have their own category in restaurant listings, it does in my list. I knew leaving Vancouver, I will def miss all the bubbletea food- so I was super excited when my highschool friend from back home told me about 'Go for Tea' and took me there! Go for Tea is a huge BBtea place located in Markham. When you walk in, there are at least 5 different sections to the restaurant. They have tacky Christmas theme decorations everywhere with gold and red bows attached to every place you can imagine. Once you walk in, you can choose between booths and tables. I noticed there are auto call-buttons on each table, but it didn't really seem to work cause noone ever came by when we pressed the button. They have very large menu consisting of main, hot pot, meals with rice, noodles and then drink. I found the menu very hard to read due to the lay out because it's very messy and all over the place. As I was trying to figure out what they offered, it felt like I was reading those books you have to concentrate super hard to understand. Ordered: DEEP FRIED INTESTINE WITH GREEN ONION 3.5/5 *Small plate of deep fried intestine for $9.99 *Green onion is stuffed inside of a deep fried large intestine *Very chewy and is good with salt and black pepper that's served on the side *Chinese restaurants usually serve intestines marinated or deep fried *Comes with pickled radish and carrot that's sweet and tangy *Pickled vegetables are good in between to cleanse the palette *I really liked this dish, but found it to be a little pricey Ordered: HONEY GREENTEA 5/5 *Small size for $3.99 *One of my favorite bubble tea flavors cause bubbletea food can be quite salty, so I just order this to wash it down *Honey green tea is simple but sweet and refreshing *You could def taste the honey in this drink *I usually ask for it to be less sweet but completely forgot this time. Next time I will make sure to remember! Ordered: BRAISED PORK BELLY SPECIAL 5/5 *Served with rice, side dish and a soup for $10.99 *This is a combo but it's very big, almost enough for 2 people *Rice that is served in a bowl is almost 3 times the normal size *Soup (beef+potato) is very decent for a side and it comes in a miso soup bowl *Salad is made with imitation crab and lettuce topped with sweet honey mustard sauce *Bamboo shoot and beef pieces (sidedish) was good with rice *There were around 8 pieces of large pork belly *Flavor is very strong for the sauce (sweet soy sauce based) that's poured over pork pieces *There could be less sauce for this dish *Pork belly is very fatty, therefore making it tender and juicy *Few pieces were luke warm inside though, they need to reheat it better *I would get this dish again for sure Ordered: DEEP FRIED CHICKEN NUGGET WITH RICE 4/5 *Deep fried chicken nuggets, rice, marinated eggs, salad and a sidedish for $9.99 *Comes with meat sauce on top of the rice which was nice because this dish can be kind of dry *There are about 9~10 chicken pieces *Deep fried chicken nugget is always a basic dish at bbtea restaurants and you can't really go wrong with this dish *This would be good with hot sauce or ketchup, depending on what you prefer This place gets super busy on weekends and holidays. Keep in mind that there are no card playing after 9 on weekends. I saw good number of people here with their laptop doing studies or whatever they needed to do. There are lots of food and drinks option so this would be a good place to just chill with friends. Summary: I really liked this place. It was my first time visiting Markham and go for tea really reminded me of those bbtea places back in Vancouver. The only downside to this place is that it is very far from downtown and you can only get there by driving. If I am craving bbtea food and am willing to go far, I would come here!
