Ming Ming Tea/ Sushi — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

I have been coming here since they first opened Ming Ming Tea House! It originally started as a simple tea house featuring authentic delicacies fresh picked and straight from China where the Owner's wife is originally from. Sharing their love of tea and Chinese culture, the kind, hands on tea connoisseurs make a great team, as he talks with guests, and she has brought her amazing talents to the delicious homemade cooking and sushi they now serve! It is the best and freshest I and my friend have ever had- one of favorite places to come on a date, relax and enjoy an authentic, healthy yet delicious meal, tea and dessert by way of Mochi- the chocolate is my favorite, green tea Mochi a close second! I recommend their Black Orange and Spice tea they currently have! Reminds me of drinking Thanksgiving Memories! Also our favorite roll is the UFO Roll with tempura shrimp throughout- also recommend the Mexican Roll, and their veggie roll with ginger, wasabi and spicy mayo! Please give this Beautiful Little place, Ming-Ming Sushi and Teahouse, I guarantee you won't regret it! Vegan and Vegetarian...

Pros: 🟢 -Nice, clean place and modern design -Inexpensive prices; very affordable food and drink

The store was open and clean. The food was pretty good - came out fast and was priced well. The selection of tea and other drinks was rather large. The fact that it comes from China and their family farm regularly is pretty amazing. The issue was the owner and select staff members. They were overly pushy about purchasing teas and how it is helpful for losing weight. They made comment after comment and gave us multiple pieces of literature about his weight loss experiences with tea and how we should consider a life-style change. I am not suggested that you avoid this place, because it is a nice location and cheap for a quick sushi fix. What I'm saying is, I personally will never go back and felt somewhat victimized by the comments and attitude...
