Traditionally, Yum Cha means to drink tea, referring to the ancient Chinese custom of sipping tea whilst eating small portions of foods, not the all-you-can-eat lunchtime images that spring to mind with Yum Cha nowadays. But the Oriental Tea House is one restaurant who stands apart from modernised definitions, serving Yum Cha throughout the day, 7 days a week, and offering it with over 80 variations of tea to choose from!
The award winning Oriental Tea House really is a complete dining experience. With a specials menu also available, and a retail shop attached to the store where you can purchase the many and varied assortments of tea to take home, you can stop in here for a meal or just for a cup of tea, or to see their Chinese medicine doctor.
