We were here for dinner the night before and had a good dinner experience. We were surprised with the good spacious restaurant which does not look like it from the outside. We would have liked the lighting to have been a little bit more inside.
For drinks - we had a jasmine green tea and almond milk green tea with tapioca pearls. Both were the hot ones and we loved it.
For dinner - we had a grilled salmon with rice, diced chicken in kung pao style and diced chicken with mushroom curry. Both the chicken dishes are main courses and they come with a choice of soup and rice. The soup that we got was corn and pork with vegetables. We had no complaints with dinner. The portion sizes were good enough for 1 and the chicken was cooked well.
The only thing that we would have liked better was for the water - we asked for water for the table and didn't receive it at all.
Following the day's intense walking adventure, I suggested dropping by Go For Tea to refuel. To my surprise, the Scarborough location was even larger and grander than their now-shuttered Richmond Hill spot.
We chanced upon their Afternoon Tea Time Special, which was a two-part combo that included two snacks and 50% off any of their drinks. The portions were relatively substantial, making it a great pre-dinner option.
When all else fails around the area and im hungry, Go For Tea is my go-to. It is somewhat decently priced, you get seated quickly (as long as you dont come after dinner hours), and the food comes rather quickly. I usually get the popcorn chicken on rice and a hot taro milk tea. The chicken portion is way more than enough for me - it is a pretty good portion, as it does come with couple of "appetizers" - usually a springroll cut into 3 pieces and a side veg. I dont tend to sit around and chit-chat here as most people seem to enjoy doing. I am usually in and out within an hour. And if its closer to dinner time, it can get pretty loud and I dont quite enjoy that kind of atmosphere.
I have no complaints about this place. I think the food - both quality and quantity are worth the price you pay, as well as for the amount of service. The staff here are pretty friendly. It is what it is - a bubble tea place, really.
