I have been coming here more than a year due to its location and the quality has never improved. The flavors I usually get end up being bland, especially for my go-to at any store, Thai tea. Today it was a far darker orange than usual. I have experience in food service making this particular drink, and I knew at first glance it would taste off. Again it was watery, bland, and this time also over-steeped (making it bitter).

Read moreOld Teahouse - Their affordable prices and delicious food made me come to this place over and over again. You must try their popcorn chicken and milk green tea; so good! Absolutely adore their eggplant tofu curry that comes with rice.
This place is normally crowded, so don't be surprised if you find yourself standing in a long line that extends outside the restaurant. The service is super fast, so the line moves pretty quickly. They accept only cash; after you place your order, they give you the receipt which has the order #. When your order # gets called, you need to pick up your food.
