Hands down the best hand-pulled noodles in the Baltimore area. We started the late lunch with some…read moresweet heat cabbage and crispy celery with peanuts and they were perfect snack foods and palate cleanser when the main dishes arrived. We ordered the N2 12 Hour Stewed Pork Noodles and the Beef Noodle Soup with Chili Oil on the side. I would highly recommend all 4 things we tried as they were the perfect combination for the winter weather. The noodles were thick, chewy, and bouncy and very fresh with none of them sticking or losing its firm texture. The flavors of each dish was distinct but not overpowering and the meat quality was excellent and plentiful. The restaurant is next to a high quality boba store as well so it doesn't hurt to double dip (which we did). We waited 20-30 minutes to get seated since it was super busy with one waiter handling all the tables so they didn't check in often unless we asked which is totally fine. This is a great modern casual dinner spot for a date and even takeout. I will definitely be back many times as this is a staple I really enjoy.

Went here on a Saturday night with a party of three and was shocked to see it nearly empty. There…read moreis plenty of tables and we were seated in a booth immediately. There are quite a few options on what to order. The main attraction is basically hotpot, where you order a soup and they provide a set number of sides and meats to go along with it. It does cost more to add more meats with each plate. They also have a few noodle soup dishes and other premade bowls. The service was nice in helping me decide on what I wanted to order and to provide recommendations. Since the restaurant was near empty, we were able to order pretty fast. I ordered the collagen chicken soup with rice noodles alongside an order of soup dumplings. To our surprise the soup noodles came out within 10 mins. I thought for hotpot soups this was delightful. Tons of filling and the noodles were well prepared. The highlight of the day was the soup dumplings however. I was surprised that the dumplings came out 10 mins after the noodle soup as it was an appetizer. The pork soup dumplings are something I will be coming back here for. Overall, I had a good experience with kind service will definitely be returning.

It is still a bit far (35min), but doable. I also wasnt sure if i would be able to eat something because wheat noodles, but the staff were awesome enough to allow my substitution of wheat noodles for glass noodles in the dish i had chosen. I had originally made the nice lady very nervous with my request and she tried to convince me to try the dish that was advertised with the glass noodles, but i assured her that it would be fine as i normally eat noodles without soup. I ordered the 3 oil noodles with ground pork. It was very tasty. Especially after i added vinegar and the house chili oil. Definitely coming back.

I've visited a few times and keep coming back for the noodle soups. My go-to is the lamb noodle…read moresoup with a spicy broth, and it never disappoints--rich, flavorful, and packed with tender pieces of lamb. One of the highlights is the handmade noodles, which you can customize in thickness, from delicate angel hair to something as hearty as fettuccine. The menu has plenty of variety beyond soups, including dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fried noodles, and oil-tossed noodle dishes. I also tried the braised intestines on the side; while they were well-prepared, the texture wasn't quite for me--I'd probably enjoy them more if they were fried. Ordering is convenient, whether you prefer doing it in person, through the app, or at the kiosk. The space has a good number of tables for dining in, and there's even a piano if you know how to play. Overall, it's been a consistently enjoyable spot for lunch.

First time in a Sichuan place and man I can't wait to go back already. Just remembering how good…read moreall of the dishes were is making my mouth water. Very elegant presentation for everything. The menus, the decor, the venue and high ceilings, the private rooms. Their menu had half to full page detailed photos and descriptions of almost every dish. And they had a large menu to accommodate to whatever you are craving. Their food was so good. Everything was seasoned just right to my liking. The spice levels for the sichuan pepper-centric dishes were the star but never overpowering or too spicy. And surprisingly, the pricing for each of the dishes were so low compared to the experience I was getting. Like I kept thinking how can this product be this good but this cheap? One of our fav restaurants now and we recommend anybody to pay Tea Horse a visit!

The rice cakes and the salty sticky rice roll are pretty good. My wife was craving the chicken and broccoli w/ brown sauce. I was not a fan of this dish. The broccoli tasted bitter and the chicken seemed low quality. I wouldn't get this dish again. The noodles with scallion sauce was good. The noodles stuck together and the scallions in the dish were bitter, but the taste was decent. I can't fully score a place based on delivery, but if you're in the mood for Shanghainese cuisine, this place isn't a bad option.
