Hot dumpling soup on a rainy day is perfection. Delicious and satisfying. Dumplings were huge and flavorful. They also have variety of condiments to make the soup spicy, a plus in my book.

The rare beef pho was VERY GOOD, great broth, good cuts of beef.
The interior is 'maybe'... the worst set-up for a restaurant I've ever seen. Tables jammed in a small space, you can't get in, out. Horrendous interior design. Horrendous. -

You can smell the deliciousness from outside the door. A fluorescent green hole in the wall on a long street full of restaurants, Green Tea House serves yummy Vietnamese noodles and a host of other south Asian foods.
I wouldn't say the experience as a whole was enjoyable. As one reviewer said, it's a logistical nightmare just getting your food. You stand in line to order, a line that stretches from the counter to the door, to the right of which there are drinks to buy, plus cutlery and accompaniments like spices and sauces. On the left are the tables. Few and squished together, it's hard to get a seat. Fortunately, most people in line are there to take their dishes to go. Unfortunately, takeaway or not, you have to shimmy through them to get your sauces and such! Really poorly organized.
I ordered fried veggie spring rolls to split with my coworker, and then the wonton soup. Then I squeezed through the queue to collect napkins and chopsticks, glasses and four sauces: spicy chili oil, pickled jalapenos, plum sauce, and sweet vinegary cucumber. It was hard not to spill them on customers' coats on my way back to the table that my colleague had managed to stake out.
In retrospect, I should have ordered a Vietnamese specialty and not a Chinese one--the wontons were likely frozen, the thin egg noodles clumped together, and the broth in need of much more flavor (the latter of which was quickly fixed, thanks to my arsenal of side sauces). The spring rolls were okay, but I expected them to just be okay, since they were retrieved from under the counter and then warmed up in the microwave.
Next time I'll order something different. -

What a delightful find! I was craving some quality Vietnamese cuisine and boy did Green Tea House fit the bill! The host spoke Cantonese and we hit it off right away. He made my wife Lene her favorite--Shrimp Dumpling Noodle Soup...the broth was clean and not salty. He made me a vegetarian chow Mein that was killer. Not greasy and taste with hints of white pepper. The menu is extensive for a small spot and everything is prepared with great care.
I will be back and I highly recommend this cozy cafe! -

This is properly one of the worst fake Vietnamese restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating at. Don't listen to all the other reviews they are more then likely fake. The taste was the most interesting, as in it tasted as it was made by a couple of blind rabbit that accidentally cut off part of there own arm into the soup and not put in any actual meat. As for the pricing, they though that they are serving top notch quality product with gold flakes included, but what they are actually serving is something that is not fit for human consumption.
