Like something out of the movie "Beetlejuice," you'll either love or hate this over-the-top restaurant that brandishes modern art as restaurant decor. Either way, prepare for an evening of unique dining (all the dishes incorporate tea in one way or another) that blurs the line between food and sculpture.
Our original New-China dining space remains the heart of urban chic. Authetically Chinese but in a way you have never imagined. Inspired by the ancients, our dishes bring the culinary use of tea into the present day. Relive the lost art of T. Cuisine with a twist.
Second Bite review, November, 2011
Tea-licious
There’s a lot about Green T. House that tries too hard, but with real talent in the kitchen and a clear commitment to quality, the restaurant ultimately leaves a positive impression.
The exaggeratedly high-backed chairs are imposing and not entirely comfortable. The mirror-table makes you feel like you’re in a restaurant out of American Psycho. But then there are the delicate polka-dotted napkins, the fresh leaves and flowers arranged on the table, the interesting art in the gallery area—maybe, you think, it’s not so obnoxious after all.
Then the food arrives, and Green T. House truly wins you over. It’s fusion cuisine, but more Western than Wish, and better quality. The “field dream” (¥98) is delightful, slices of pear smeared with a honey mustard tea sauce that tastes like relish, topped with goat cheese, walnuts and pecans and arugula. It’s at once sweet and salty, and the cheese complements rather than overwhelms. The thin-skinned dumplings in the Green T. soup (¥58) are delicate and clean, and the dish is wonderful until you eat what you think is a piece of seaweed only to get a big, bitter green tea leaf. The “Autumn Sky” roasted lamb (¥168) with sesame, creamy cheese and bits of apple is a gorgeous interpretation of Xinjiang cuisine, but instead of the cumin and spice the dish begs for, you again get tea leaves that are best left uneaten. The whole roasted seabass (¥168) is wonderfully cooked, although here, too, the tea leaves annoy rather than add.
We know the restaurant’s named after green tea, but surely a green tea-related amuse bouche, one signature dish, or just the tasty homemade green tea ice cream (¥98) would suffice. We’d definitely return for food this good, we just wish the experience felt less forced.
