Imperial Tea Court

Our best dining experience in SF so far. We had 3 different teas and had a lovely tea ceremony experience with the manager explaining each tea, how long to steep it and what sort of taste to expect. We also had a sampler of spring rolls and shu mai plus a yummy pork bun and sticky rice. Very enjoyable.

This was one of the greatest dining experiences I've ever had. Our waiter was amazing and very attentive, and went above and beyond in showing us how to make dragon well tea with a whole set of teapots. I don't remember the guy's name but he was awesome. Plus the dumplings were great. I'll be coming back if I visit the area again.

So the tea and the tea rituals are fantastic, it's such a great experience for being in a very touristy spot. I wasn't a super big fan of the dumplings that were offered here relative to the nearby Chinatown. Honestly, if you're here, just walk like 10 minutes to Chinatown and find a nearest dim sum place. I had the aged yellow tea and holy cow it's one of the best tea I have ever tried. You essentially get like 10 refills on it which is definitively worth 15 bucks. The waitress was pretty nice in showcasing a tea ritual and we did our refills with gaiwan. It was a good experience to understand how tea ritual works as opposed to just using a french press.

This place is THE place for dumplings and, tea, and (my favorite) hand pulled noodles. The hand pulled noodles, which we got with pork, were so fresh and chewy and umami. I am a chef at an Italian restaurant and I know my way around fresh pasta. If you're a noodle fan, you are in the right place. Liked being able to, as a table of three, get a sampler of dumplings so we could all try some of each for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is super nice and very relaxing and service was great. It's a must if you are going to the Ferry building.

Imperial Tea Group is a teahouse chain with multiple locations in San Francisco. The company was founded in 1998 by two brothers who were passionate about tea. Imperial Tea Group offers a wide variety of teas, from traditional Chinese teas to more modern blends. The company also has a full menu of dim sum and other Asian-inspired dishes. One of the best things about Imperial Tea Group is the atmosphere. The teahouses are all beautifully decorated and offer a relaxing and peaceful environment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about tea, and they are always happy to make recommendations. Overall, Imperial Tea Group is a great place to enjoy a cup of tea and some delicious food. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend Imperial Tea Group to anyone looking for a great teahouse experience in San Francisco.

Located in the bustling Ferry building farmers market, this is one of the few sit down restaurants at the ferry building. Best known for their home made hand pulled organic noodles served in a tasty broth (vegan options also available), be warned that the servings are large so don't fill yourself up with appetizers. What I love about the broth is that it is not salty as broths sometimes are and comes with a lot of veggies. Their tea selection is great too!
