MasterTea Cafe & Bites — Restaurant in Greensboro

When I walked into this beautiful, quaint yet modern cafe, I saw the "Fried Chicken" from the corner of my eyes. Growing up, my family owned a restaurant. I loved the Chinese food that I had, from the Sichuan noodle to the Beijing Duck. At my restaurant, I regularly ate fried chicken. When I saw a new tea cafe had opened in Greensboro, I eagerly visited MasterTea. I knew I had to order the "Fried Chicken" and the "Sunset Nada."

If I were to only rate the "Sunset Nada," a collection of mango smoothie, raspberry tea, and mango jelly, I would've given this restaurant a five stars rating for the delicious sweetness of the smoothie and the swift service! However, maybe I had too high of an expectation for the "Fried Chicken."

Soon, the "Fried Chicken" came out hot and ready. Steaming with fresh smoke, the meat looked juicy and ready-to-eat. Then I picked up the hot chicken with my two hands. As I bit into the wing, I loved the light batter, but I felt no juice coming out. Staring at the food in confusion, I bit again. Why was there no juice or taste of anything in the wing? I felt the lack of seasoning , maybe even no seasoning. I continued to dip the chicken wings into the sweet and sour sauce, to see if the sauce could even salvage the lack of seasoning in the chicken. But the sweet and sour sauce couldn't save the chicken. I know that when fried chicken isn't "finger-licking-good," then the chicken isn't good.

I'm being merciful and lenient here, without that "Sunset Nada" drink, I would've been much more strict on the rating. I could've went to TeaTime also. It's unfortunate that the chicken was bland.

Please, for my sake and the sake of chicken lovers out there, put some seasoning into...

This place is honestly the best place to hang out in Greensboro, 10/10 would recommend. Great music and great atmosphere, has lots of fun games, I love coming here! The place opens 11am - 9pm on Sundays through Thursdays then 11am - 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The kitchen closes at 8:30pm on Sundays- Thursdays and the kitchen closes at 10:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The employees give you your food and drinks by calling out your order number on the receipt given to you so make sure you keep track of the numbers they call out and go up to them to tell them it is your order when its called. Some drinks are sealed by a machine so if you want to add other toppings or ice later on, tell them before they seal your drink or while you order it. MasterTea has a variety of snacks and great pho. When it is busy, the food might take a while but it is worth the wait. There are trashcans in the front by the light up bubble water wall so you can clean up your own messes. There's also a cool chalkboard wall here too! Everyone in town should come but there's lots of items on the menu so look over the menu on their Facebook page before coming, so you know what you're going to order. Everything here is amazing! The popcorn...

I went here before pandemic and I am not going here anymore. there were 4-5 employees at register and made me very confused. I started to order, then, a guys beside of one of the employee asked me toppings or other extras. so I thought he was taking my order, but then , the one who was already taking my order was starting to ask me questions. and 2 more people on the back were looking at me orderring (?). i dont understand why there were so many people at the register and why one person just cannot finish taking order. and the girl who was taking my order was so rude. I dont know why she was so full of arrogance and looked down on me when she was takig order. I felt like i am her servant and she was a boss. she was kinda starring me and saying thigns before I even finish up my words. I know these are young guys and dont have much experience dealing with people. but their immatured skills leads to poor service and that will make customer never going back there. they need to be more trained and they have to know that 'they' are serving customers and be nice to people so people can go back. isnt it sad if you are losing customers because of bad service that employees give? even though the foods and...
