We were in town for just a few days and discovered this amazing dim sum on our last day…of course we had to heat there for lunch AND dinner. Everything we had was so fresh, and had a depth of flavor and authenticity that just isn’t that common. Do yourself a favor and eat here as soon as you can, and often.

Cool Chinese spot! The food was really good and creative. I’m not much of a Chinese food eater because it can be heavy but this definitely was some of the best I’ve had. Get the dumpling sampler!

Amazing food in a very cool area, 100% worth the visit. Very busy tho and sometimes servers can be slow but really not an issue.

Little overrated, food was good, more of a picture worthy place with the beautiful decor… two employees made me a little uncomfortable I was a solo diner and I felt almost judged? But hey maybe I was just overthinking… if you’re in a larger group give it a go! Bigger packages are more worth it..

Had high hopes for this place. The side room we dined in had terrible lighting and was quite stark compared to the images I’ve seen on Google and IG. There was no music or atmosphere just a very uncomfortable room with white brick walls and some lanterns overhead. I do take responsibility for picking a table close to the servers station but I did not expect them all to stand two feet behind me the whole time conversing. After they served the food they didn’t really check on us much and I had to ask twice for water as they all stood a few feet away. The food was good but not worth the average service and below average atmosphere. Gave it a shot but for the price very disappointing. At least I can now cross this on off the list! I hope whoever reads this can post something redeeming for them! Request sitting in the main room as our table was very uncomfortable. The string beans were tasty!

My family comes here religiously because it's always delicious and the service is great. Lobster gao and XLBs are a go-to, but honestly have probably had only one thing that was something I wouldn't order again. Cocktails are also amazing.

This place is average for Vegetarians.(-) The vegetarian dumpling (only 1 dumpling option for vegetarians) was average (the covering was too moist that it used to break open upon picking. The filling was not too flavorful too)(+) The olive fried rice was interesting, different from what you get elsewhere. This was a positive. The portion size was also more than what we are used to seeing in other places. We ended up over ordering the rice because of that(~) The string beans was meh. Depends on what you are expecting. This one is deep fried with a batter providing a crunchy texture on the outside. This is a good bar snack. I was expecting the usual string beans you get and did not want something that fried. If you are looking for the fried coated beans, this was good(-) Mapo Tofu lacked the mala flavor, was blander than it should beVegetarian options: Have said it in my review above

We've visited Palette Tea House multiple times and each time has been a lovely experience with delectable food. One of our most cherished memories was with a college friend and his family. Authentic Chinese food was outside the kids' comfort zone, but they were adventurous and loved everything they tried. Highly recommended!
