Tea House St. Paul

Do not trust when the restaurant is empty at Saturday lunchtime… we had pan fried beef noodle, kung pao chicken, crab meat dumpling, shrimp shumai, shrimp dimsum.. two main dish was too saucey. And trust me I would be more happy to have panda express or mc donalds.. crab meat dumpling the pork smells..

Fresh food, like from the Wok to the plate fresh. Good price and will take care of you if you have any issues.

Service was quick and friendly. Scallion pancake was a treat. Husband's Seafood Hot Pot was delicious. My Mongolian Beef and fried rice was very flavorful but a tad oily. The mini soup dumplings were huge but not really flavorful and fatty. Will be back.

The restaurant was fairly empty when I arrived, there were about 6 people dining at the time and service was slow.Hong Sue Beef Noodle Soup: Bland in my opinion.Mongolian Beef Tenderloin: The dish contains 70% onions and 30% beef.Three Chilli Chicken: It was a decent dish, it was the best out of the other 2 dishes ordered.The factors to why I will not be returning:-Slow service. After a 10 minute wait, I had to walk to the counter to ask for my check.-High food price. Small portion size for the price.

We liked one of the two xiaolingbao we ordered. They were BIG and had not a lot but enough juice. The two entrees we ordered were definitely on the smaller portion on what you normally get at a Chinese restaurant(probably get a plate and a half more at others). My cumin lamb was Shredded into a hundred tiny pieces to make up for the lack of protein. Food is salty and spicy so they should invest in a water pitcher at each individual table because we had to wait a long time for refills.
