The Tea - Fort Lee

I was a bit surprised that this place called “The Tea Bar” was actually Korean food restaurant, as I always thought they were another bubble tea kind of place. The inside was bright and spacious. Definitely not a place to get just tea. They had a good amount of table seating. We went on a weekend, and they had weekend brunch buffet. It sounded good, but they were not the kinds of food (Korean food) we were looking for. The only Korean dish I found on the buffet counter was Kimchi Rice. It would have been really interesting if all or most of the dishes served on the buffet were Korean dishes. Since we were there to try some Korean dishes, we didn’t go for the buffet. From their regular menu, we ordered K-Town Fries and Bibimguksu to share. They were both really good portion, enough to share among the two of us. The dishes, especially Bibimgusku was very spicy. We like spicy food, so it was good, we enjoyed it a lot. The owner was working the floor, and he brought us some complimentary soup. Then, after seeing my husband sweating with heat from the spicy food, he brought another soup, telling him that it will help with the spiciness. Really nice! By sharing the starter and main, we saved some room for desserts! We also decided to order tea to go with our dessert. This is where the name of this restaurant, “The Tea Bar” made total sense to me. Their tea menu was quite extensive! They had around 50 teas. Yes, that is not a typo, but 50 teas! We ordered Green Rooibos Key West from recommendation of the owner. For dessert, we ordered Red Velvet Lava Cake and Original Cheesecake. The cheesecake was really delicious, I am so glad we ordered that one! It was a very pleasant brunch. Everything was very delicious, satisfying and very affordable. The service was nice, the owner took a good care of us and made us feel welcomed. I would like to go back again and try out more of their tasty menus. Read my food blog for my full review of this restaurant and food.

Service was very friendly and pretty fast. All dishes at my table were great fish cake soup, burgers (especially the kimchi burger). Nice selection of tea. The bubble tea is kind of frozen like a slushy consistency.

I love this place best philly cheese steak and big tea quiet to modern noise level I go there as often as I can and always bring another friend so that they try and go on it themselves

It was my daughter's recommendation to choose this place to meet someone for half business. The ambience is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. I actually live in the same city, never visited this place. Will definitely go back.

Excellent teas and selection of teas. It's my second time. came for the first time and with my daughter for the second time on Valentine's Day. Will definitely go back and bring another person.
