I would not give more than 3stars for this restaurant. The service and food quality is below ‘Tao Yuan’, ‘Taste of Mandarin’ or ‘Majestic’. I just compare with ‘Chinese restaurants’ within Cebu which I know, not even comparing with Chinese Dimsun in Hongkong, Singapore, UK or wherelse. The ambient inside not nice too. I often don’t care about the ambient as long the food tastes good (example ‘Majestic’, so noisy, but nice food), but here really not ‘special’. Maybe we have other taste?
Came here for dinner and the food is mediocre. The only dish I really enjoyed was then misua. I would only eat here if someone pays for it cus there’s other places around the area that is good to eat.

One of my fave authentic dimsum restaurant. Food and place is great, very friendly and accommodating crew. Their japanese siomai is definitely one of the best tasting siomai that I had plus their house tea. 🙂
First of all, the name of the restaurant can be a bit misleading. It is not a place for your “High Noon Tea” parties or should you crave for TWG’s and French macarons. They serve complimentary Jasmine teas and peanuts though.They are apparently a Chinese-Dimsum restaurant. Perhaps how the place got its tea house name is because that’s how they do in Hong Kong?Its location is very strategic, being in City Time Square wherein there is enough parking space for everyone, all the time. Moreover, upon getting into the arcade, one will notice this restaurant right away from its classic oriental theme with colors of black and red, and also because it is the first restaurant you see when driving along the whole complex. When inside the restaurant, it would feel that the place has been there for quite some time. A bit worn-out.As with the food, we ordered: 1.) Polonchay with Garlic – It is Chinese Spinach (Kangkong, Chinese Watercress) sautéed with garlic. It is delicious, with just the right stir-frying and garlic taste that wasn’t very overpowering. It will set you back for Php 225, but the amount is good for sharing for 3-4 people.2.) Lemon Chicken (Php 270) – My favorite dish from this restaurant so far. It won’t disappoint you. I loved how the lemon glaze complemented the tender and boneless batter-fried chicken.3.) David’s Fried Rice Platter (Php 300) – The taste was on point. It had some hint of an herb flavor from one of the ingredients.4.) David’s Assorted Dimsum Platter (Php 250) – Composed of six pairs of Dimsum treats. My favorite was the Hakaw Shrimp. The rest didn’t look very appetizing, nor tasted excellent.5.) Shabu-Shabu Set (Php 1,188) – It was the set good for 4-5 persons. They have a smaller version at Php 888 which is for 2-3 persons. The hotpot was divided into two to make way for two kinds of soup bases. The half of it was the one with the Satay (or Sate, made from ground roasted or fried peanuts) base, and the other was the plain one. I liked the latter because it wasn’t too overpowering and it didn’t mask the flavors from the boiled ingredients. As with the taste, the plain one had a taste of a bit less to almost equal quality to the kind you get from Red House Taiwan Shabu-Shabu (This reference because it is the more popular choice to get a shabu-shabu fix, for me). Should they have included shrimps in their basic set, it would have tasted much better. Nevertheless, single orders of Shabu-Shabu items are possible upon request, but with extra cost of course. What makes the hotpot experience at David’s Tea House much better than Red House Taiwan is the service. At David’s you get to have your own shabu-shabu server who will mix and prepare everything for you. Great for beginners.As a whole, the dining experience here was a good one. I can possibly come back to try out their other dishes.
Most delighted dimsum ever tasted! I wanna keep coming back! Though their staffs don’t give a smile, I’d give them a 5. Because of their quality food. Kudos to the owner who wiped the table himself to prepare for the next customer. The most part, thank God for the provision! Happy Sunday!
