Lotus Tea House - Waterloo

I've been going to this place since its openingIt's a nice place to go for lunch or teatime, as they close at 8pm weekdays and 9pm weekends now.

I think it was good last time I wentToday it was closed for renovationsSigns on the doorsIf the renos are done, take the signs off the door.

A really neat place - you should go here at least once! Make sure you go upstairs (that's where the bathrooms are) to check out the prayer room.__The almond

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.
