Lotus Tea House - Waterloo

This is the place you go to for more authentic Chinese food and some really good tea. The menu isn't particularly exciting (from a Chinese person's point of view); many of their menu items are dishes we regularly have at home. However it is very well prepared. I especially appreciate that they don't use excessive amounts of salt like most other Chinese restaurants. Definitely a tasty and healthier choice. It is also very reasonably priced.

You can't help but smile at the ambiance as you step inside the Lotus Tea House (emphasis on House). The decor reflects the Buddhist way of living, and draws you in to its calm reflecting nature. Food is delicious (the fake meat is the best I've ever had), and the personal pots of tea are just phenomenal. Prices are good too! If you find yourself in the area, just try it out it will, if anything, be a unique experience.

The staff are always very friendly, and remember you after several visits. They will accommodate you in every way possible. The venue is quiet and both family- and business-friendly, perfect for dates as well. The tea house is clean and has a very unintrusive, cozy feel to it. The food is well prepared and tasty, and although the menu looks small there is quite a variety of dishes.

Great deal for your money the meals come with appetizers and an entree for around $11. The teas are FANTASTIC I especially like the fruit tea.

Amazing place! Great service, great food. S2 soup and R2 meal were excellent. The fruit tea, was to die for. Will be going back.
