★★★☆☆ 3.0 David Liss · Feb 2026

Beautiful restaurant. Was really a surprise. White baby grand piano. Staff was helpful and friendly. Our appetizers were scallion pancakes and dim sum and very good. The entrees had a great deal of peppers and salt and overwhelmed our tongues and our ability to finish our meal. The menu was beautiful pictures of every item. Very helpful.

We visited the Tea Horse Sochuan Bistro for a dinner date with friends. We had a reservation so we did not need to wait for our table. The restaurant has a bar and some specialty cocktails that were very tasty! On to the food, everything we ordered was exceptional. We had the cabbage and green beans as some side options, both were packed with flavor and the spice gave it a perfect kick. Since this was our first time visiting this restaurant, we tried numerous entrees. Most of these are family style dishes so its easy to share at the table. The duck, clams, tofu, chicken fried rice, lo mein, and pork belly.....EXCELLENT! I will definitely return and bring a friend to share in this flavorful experience. The food is reasonably priced for the amount you get. The restaurant staff weee very frie

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Coto-Cruz · Jan 2026

We were seated quickly and were met with friendly staff. The ambiance of the restaurant was really friendly and casual, you know its a good sign when you see the staff enjoying the food they serve and that's precisely what we saw when we walked in. The menu was incredible and included pictures of the food they served which was really helpful- the food that was brought out looked exactly like the pictures. The drink menu was also very expansive and detailed. Didn't order a drink but might next time. Our food was brought out very quickly - the portions were very generous!! We were amazed. For the portions the pricing is incredibly fair. I ordered the Mapo Tofu, my friend the Beef and Shallots - and we got Dan Dan Noodles as an appetizer. Our dishes both came with bowls of white rice. Mapo

We had a great dinner here on a Friday night! We came at around 6pm and got seated right away. My favorites were the chili oil wontons 红油抄手 and eggplant garlic stir fry. The beef dry hot pot and the peppercorn fish had too much of a strong peppercorn oil flavor. I will definitely be back to try other dishes though! The decor is beautiful and service is great.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mrs Shante · Aug 2025

I had the chance to dine at Tea Horse, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious compared to how it looks from the outside, with a nice balance of fancy yet casual vibes. The staff were friendly and offered great suggestions based on our preferences. Now, let’s talk about the food, absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with taste. The portions were generous (we even had to take some home), and it reheated well without losing any of its rich flavors. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I look forward to returning.
