    Get Wellness soup, chicken & woodear mushroom, handmade pork & vegetable dumplings & Chrysanthemum & E. Journey teas. Head to Radiance in E Midtown for more upscale, "wellness-themed" Canto dishes.

    The lunch special bento box dumpling sampler was amazing! $14. Very satisfying. Also the tea was refreshing & relaxing $9. I love the atmosphere. I came in after 11am and beat the rush.

    This may be my new go-to place to destress. Relax with a pot of tea and some dumplings. Tons of teas to choose from and you can buy loose tea to take home. Lovely little biscuits as well.

    I love atmosphere, the chicken wantons. Their assorted cheesecake tastes so good so as their Mochi. We tried the three flower tea on a rainy cold day, it was perfect.

    Come for the lunch special dumpling bento box and order a pot of authentic Chinese tea. Peaceful and relaxing sanctuary helps you escape the hustle/bustle outside.

    My friends and I love the Wellness soup and the wood ear dumplings. However, while Radiance is a nice, quiet and central spot in the city for us to meet we’ve consistently encountered rude waitstaff.

    Tea! Impressive tea collection including oriental beauty. Yummy lunch boxes too. Will be back to try green tea soba and a few more items on menu. Great staff as well.

    My client just told me about their new 208 East 50th St location. Healthy Chinese food e.g. Goji berries + dates thrown in. Chinese herbal soups. One of few places in NYC where you can buy Pu'er tea!

    If you want to try green tea, try the Dragon Well. It's a cute quite place and great for conversing with friends. They also have a library inside.

    Fabulous gem in the heart of midtown. Didn't try any food but the menu looked fantastic. Tea selection is the most in depth I've ever seen.

    Such a charming, serene tea house in the middle of crazy and loud midtown. Service is gracious, if slow. I'll be back--this was a human place!

    Religious/spiritual group affiliations aside, this place is a very relaxing and enjoyable Chinese-style tea parlor with tasty snacks and small plates.

    An amazing list of different type of teas. Ask your server with preferences as you most likely have no clue what any tea is

    The second show for our 2012-2013 season has started so it's a pretty stressful time for us. This is the perfect place for us to relax and find the most calming tea on the menu!

    Egg tofu and the spicy fish tofu casserole are my fav food items. The ginger milk tea is revitalizing!

    At $9, the Green Tea Cold Noodles is perhaps the most budget-friendly of the larger dishes, to make for a filling meal.

    You can get tea to go from here! They make it quite quickly. Iced mint tea is perfect on a hot midtown day ;)

    Amazing, but overpriced :( especially the teapots for two. The dumplings, although $8 a portion, are delicious and worth trying. Chicken with spicy sauce and soupy pork are the best!

    Tucked away near Times Square, the Tea House is good for a tea break, lunch, brunch, or if you just want to browse their book selection.
