I love ethnic food and have included all my favorites. If you want standard American food, I’m not the person to ask for a recommendation.
The lunch menu is a great deal. It includes tea, soup, egg roll, and main dish for under $10.

The food is fantastic. It has a cozy French bistro feel. And on occasion, you meet the owner, a wonderful French lady who also teaches classes in the kitchen adjacent to the cafe.

Here, surrounded by walls of tea, you can pick out some to try in house with yummy dim sum. Or you can purchase some to take home. I enjoy having the tea in house, sitting at the low tables, while they serve the tea in a more traditional fashion.
