    Very Pretty Ambience. Excellent collection of Green Tea and Herbal Tea. They have a small but very good Food menu. Perfect place for Girls outing

    Atmosphere: 5 I love the decor in this restaurant! Each seating arrangement has its own charm and they're all so instagram ready! They have an electronic menu as well as a paper menu. I found the electronic one a bit cumbersome, but their paper one is fine. Just note that there is a hot and cold drink label on the right edge of the menu to indicate whether the listed items are cold or hot. Service: 5 The service tended to be on the slower side. Once you've ordered, it does take a while for the tea and food to arrive. Although, I do think the brewing of the tea takes a few minutes. If you're seated in the booth tucked towards the front of the restaurant, make sure you really wave to flag them down. They don't really come to you. Flavors: 5 I'm so impressed with their tea! I love it. Especially the hot ones that come in a pot. So worth it and the tea is so flavorful. The desserts are also really good. They aren't too sweet and perfectly balances with tea! I recently tried their lunches and had their turkey sandwich. Their bread is perfectly toasted. I didn't want mayo in it, but they didn't offer anything else to put in place of it.... Like mustard. So the sandwich came out kind of basic. It came with a salad which was pretty basic too. Sadly, the sandwiches that my mom and husband ordered didn't come with the buns pictured. My mom ordered the sukiyaki one which has a baguette in the photo, but came with toast bread like mine. My husband's was supposed to come with a hamburger type bun, but also came with toast. I asked the waitress and she said they are all come with toast bread instead. Overall, I'd go there again. Their turkey sandwich is definitely not worth it. Their desserts and teas are great though!

    The concept is very cute, but the food is average at best. If the food can be better and fresher, I would definitely be a frequent visitor.

    Great food, service was okay-- slow at times. Very cute place! I had the mango black tea, which was very good. We shared the salted crispy chicken as an appetizer and I had beef sukiyaki burger, which was delicious. I would recommend! Would be nice if there was one in north Jersey!

    Came by with some friends and we all just got one desert each and we were all so pleased! I got a mango mielle,, fríend got a strawberry shortcake and the other lava cake. The service is great with a little robot that brings your food over. The deserts were soo good. I will def be visiting one closer to home

    The tea trays of food are top notch, special, beautiful to every fresh detail. All the pastries a flaky, light, fresh. The tiny sandwiches are pretty and delicious. A lot of assortments of tea to chose from and always hot since it is served on a warming candle. There is a neat little robot which drives around bringing your tea and food, then a server pours your first cup of tea. We went for a Christmas lunch w our female family and it was a special treat. I would have given 5 stars but the decor wasn't very up to date ( we didn't care but others might). The atmosphere was festive, fun, laughter from other tables, upbeat, and good. Very enjoyable place.

    TLDR: Modern Asian take on high tea Located in a strip mall, Prince Tea House is a cozy little space with bright lighting and friendly staff. We came by to try the tea set for two, which though pricey (as it always seems to be), was a delightful splurge. Prince Tea house features Asian flavors and pastries - a refreshing, fun spin on the typical English finger foods. Our options of tea was close to what you might find in a bubble tea shop or Chinese restaurant. I opted for a milk tea rather than a traditional tea - it was similar to a warmed tea that you would buy at a chain tea shoo ( a plus in my book) The friendly staff paired with warm ambience made the experience a novel delight

    I actually was supposed to go here when they first opened this location through a Yelp invite to review and I got sick and didn't go, have been meaning to go for I'm guessing must be 4 plus years now. I expected it to be a free standing building or nearer to the heart of the town of Princeton, was surprised when the GPS brought us to a strip mall, with an Amish farmers market and a dollar store. Nonetheless we went in, they had a cute little sign and we were seated by a quiet young girl, who also became our waitress. The menu was quite extensive as far as teas, drinks, their food options were limited, not the normal "tea-house" food, definitely an Asian flare, which I didn't expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Their menu was extensive, offering appetizers, salads, sandwiches and "afternoon teas" for one, two, or 3 which composed of mini sandwiches, scones, mini desserts & tea of your choice. I believe their tea menu was the biggest I've ever seen, varieties of green, black, white, oolong, herbal, milk, fruity, iced, bubble, a variety of other beverages and mocktails. We all decided on teas and sandwiches, we had 2 Prince Passion Fruit Tea & English Toffee Milk Tea. For sandwiches we decided on 2 avocado sandwiches and a turkey sandwich. Here's why I didn't give 4 or 5 stars, you had to order using the QR code, on the menu there was an option for zero sugar on the app. one sugar was the lowest option and we wrote in the notes, sugar on the side. So after looking at the extensive menu we were then told to use the QR Code which took a long time to do. At one point we heard this strange noise above the music then a "pet me" we turned around to this "BOT" scared us at first then we laughed, it passed us bringing food & tea to another table. I thought cool, we get our own food from there, the hostess/waitress is for seating & questions. But when our "kitty bot" came with our food/tea the waitress, petted her & pressed buttons on the bots command, but also gave us our tea & plates. Seemed redundant. Tea had sugar in it and sugar was given on the side in a bowl! Presentation was lovely, tea (although too sweet) was lovely and sandwiches were ok. I may try again with the "afternoon tea"? We weren't rushed, we were allowed to sit and chat as long as we wanted. Loved the tea, not the sandwiches, may be better to go for tea and dessert? Very cute place and tea sets are adorable.

    This location was priced fairly, but the way it operates is hard to navigate: 1. You have to make a reservation for a booth, but their reservation system wasn't working. 2. Even if you order before another table, depending on what machine is bringing out their food, that other table could get their food must faster. 3. Many of my food items were hard/stale. I expected the cake and toast to be made fresh, not earlier in the morning (as the waitress informed me it was). 4. The store is often closed for parties, but they don't put signs up indicating that. We walked into a bridal shower not realizing they were holding a private party. It's cute and not expensive, but I wouldn't come here again.

    Prince Tea House is truly a gem! I visited on a Sunday with my friend around lunch and was seated immediately. This place is so cute! The ambiance, the food and the service were all amazing. I had my eyes set on the brown sugar boba crepe cake. We decided to try a bunch of different menu items such as: - Jardin Tropical Tea - Brown Sugar Bubble Crepe Cake - Strawberry Shortcake - Sweet Potato Fries - Twister Fries - Turkey Club - Vegan Sandwich The food is brought out on a robot too, how cool! All the food was delish! They have a huge variety of teas which I love. You can order straight from your phone which limits the waiter/customer interaction which is fine (an introverts dream LOL). This place is perfect for a celebration. I saw them setting up a baby shower in the back that was so cute. I highly recommend this place for any celebration!

    Once upon a time, my girlfriends and I went to Alice's Tea Cup in NYC where we feasted on finger sandwiches, scones complete with homemade clotted cream and raspberry preserves, and of course, wonderful pots of tea. While central New Jersey has a few places for high tea, none came close to Alice's Tea Cup. Then I heard about an Asian-European place that serves fusion desserts, brunch, and afternoon tea. I'm intrigued. Off we went and arrived at a run-down-looking strip mall which will make you question if you even arrived at the correct address. It should be noted, parking is a breeze as they have a community parking lot. Upon seeing the restaurant's signage, we concluded we did arrive at the right address. Definitely, "looks can be deceiving" because once you walk through their doors, you will be magically transported into a warm, relaxing, and immaculate tea parlor. Quite a stark contrast to the outside. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and she sat us at a booth.  After scanning their digital menu, we decided on their famous Afternoon Tea for Two. A fun kitty cat robotic- server appeared shortly with our teapots. In case you didn't know, you can also adjust the level of sweetness for your teapots. Soon after, the adorable robot-server was back with our three-tiered tray, as it sang a Happy Birthday song to me since we were celebrating my birthday. Hearing the robot-server singing was priceless. LoL. The three-tiered trays consist of more desserts than actual finder sandwiches which were a bit disappointing to me but Hubby loved that. The desserts are decadent and not overly sweet, thankfully. Is this place worth the trip back?  We definitely want to try their appetizers and sandwiches as we spied some other patrons enjoying them. Plus Hubby is hooked on sweet milk tea and their desserts. You can have your cake and then some.

    First time back here since covid, and been looking forward to it. Upon entering the first thing…read morewe noticed was how hot it was inside. They sat us in a corner, no breeze and learned their AC and fan has been broken for years. Couple next to us sat down said its too hot and left in less than a minute. We stuck it out and was glad we did. Their take on an amaretto sour was very tart and vibrant, a new favorite. Reisling was nice and sweet. Main course was papardelli, fresh pasta. Fully enjoyed that. Friday special ia chicken parm, was cooked nicely. However when we discussed dessert we just were too hot to have another drink and have dessert which is a shame. Not sure why they haven't fixed this know air issue, they are loosing sales.... What kept it 4 star for us was the wait staff. Jordan was extremely friendly and efficient, as well as the other staff that took care of us. Would love to go back, but maybe in late fall/winter unless they fix their fan/ac issue.

    Let me start off with the pros: ease of making reservations, service, seating time, ambience,…read moreplenty of parking, nice presentation as you walk in. But, I wasn't blown away by any of the courses, unfortunately. The only dish that stood out as being really good were the rice balls. Everything else was just average-and that makes me really sad because I have been looking to try this place FOREVER, especially since we had our wedding reception at their sister restaurant that closed almost twenty years ago--and their food blew me away. Collectively, we ordered calamari- bland, arancini-delicious, crispy eggplant-bland and dry. I ordered the crab agnolotti which was just, well.... bland. My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit. An overall nice experience, but since the food is the star... I'm not sure if I will return.
