Beautiful restaurant, kept very clean. The food was okay, the kung pow chicken was the best of all three dish's we had. Rice is an extra $1. Service was also good.

Best authentic Chinese (Sichuan) food that you will get in Ellicott City. Case in point -- Chinese people eat here.

I had the chance to dine at Tea Horse, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious compared to how it looks from the outside, with a nice balance of fancy yet casual vibes. The staff were friendly and offered great suggestions based on our preferences.
Now, let’s talk about the food, absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with taste. The portions were generous (we even had to take some home), and it reheated well without losing any of its rich flavors.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I look forward to returning.

This place was a disappointment compared to other Sichuan Restaurants. The food taste was slightly below average. Braised pork belly was chewy and only a few pieces for $25( I think), all the dishes were extremely oily, one dish had a clump of salt in it, some dishes were bland, others were too salty, the food portions were small, rice doesn't come with your meal, it's $2 additional for each bowl, Hot tea isn't complimentary, place was very loud despite not many customers, so the acoustics isn't designed correctly. My kids grabs a fortunen cookie on the way out on the mint/fortune cookie olate and it was stale. Kids like fortune cookies. The place does look modern, clean, and even had a piano for those who knows how to play. Definitely would never go back, not a traditional Authentic Chinese Restaurant.

I absolutely loved my experience at Tea Horse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The food was the real star though — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each dish tasted authentic and was perfectly balanced, especially the dumplings and noodles, which were some of the best I’ve ever had.

The portions were generous, and the prices felt very fair for the quality. I also really enjoyed their tea selection — it paired perfectly with the meal and added to the whole dining experience.

Tea Horse is definitely a gem, and I can see myself coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine or just wants a great meal in a cozy atmosphere!

One of my favorite places to go for great Szechuan authentic food. I love the beef with cumin and just about everything on their menu I've had it even the traditional items which I suggest everyone try. Ask the servers their suggestions based on your spice level. This is a spicy province that they represent so be
ready for the spice but they certainly can turn it down
