We had an impromptu road trip to Houston earlier this week and on our way, we stopped at Katy for dinner. Originally, we were going to check out Phat Eatery but they happen to be closed that night. We looked a couple doors down was @yantea.katy and we took the chance. It turned out to be a great choice after all.I got Dad a Mango Yogurt, Hubby had a Jasmine Green Tea, and I had a Strawberry Green Tea. I got Dad a Fish Filet Congee. We had ordered the sampler portion of the Scallion Chicken, half Peking Duck, and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Such a delectable treat to have all these mouth-watering foods! I bought the Mango Mille Crepe to go.

Went here yesterday for lunches with my sisters. I had the roasted pork and roasted duck with rice and veggies. It was DELICIOUS!! The ducks were tasty and the skin was crispy just like how i like it. The pork is also crispy skins and moist. My sister had the crispy egg noodle with seafood. It was ok, a little bland and the noodles got soggy fast. But overall, i love my dishes.

Yan Tea has recently renovated and reopened. I am so excited try this place again. I got BBQ combination box. Crispy pork belly, Chinese BBQ pork, and roasted duck are definitely better than Chung Wang. However, all dim sum items feel like frozen food. Ha Gow (shrimp dumpling) is very rubbery. You can get definitively pick up better frozen dim sums from H-Mart. Pork and preserved egg congee taste okay but I wish they gave me mince pork instead of large chunk of meats.

This place reminds me of old tea house places in bellaire back in the day. Family own business, really sweet and nice owner. Highly recommend if you are looking for something unique and not franchise boba places

The best Chinese BBQ pork in town. Their popcorn chicken is also good. We'll try more next time.

Disappointed with my visit this evening - Bones, Bones, Bones! I ordered two servings of duck with roast pork rice and one serving of soy chicken rice. The duck portions were a letdown - 5-6 pieces per order, but all I got were duck backs with no meat, just bones and skin! The soy chicken order wasn't any better, with only 7 tiny pieces (should've been at least 9), 1 was a piece of skin and fat and the other was a wing tip. As a Cantonese Asian who regularly enjoys Chinese BBQ from various places, this experience was far from what I anticipated. At $14 each, I essentially paid for scraps, I feel shortchange and believe they owe me 2 duck breasts and at least 4 meaty chicken pieces! This was their second chance, but I won't be returning. Sadly, it's a common trend - suburban restaurants start strong, then quality declines, portions shrink, but prices rise. To the business owners, do better! We're not fools - don't take advantage of customers with subpar servings. High rent shouldn't excuse poorly served food. Improve or lose loyal patrons like me.

Wonderful dishes, authentic flavor, and reminded me of my mom's cooking! Loved the Peking Duck, sesame balls, and corn soup!

Disgusting Shu mai tastes completely rotten, like the pork was rotten for days.

#JoeFoodTour Love ❤️ an Asian café that serves boba and food. They have a variety of dumplings and bao! In heaven ;-) #HowdyFromHouston #ThePropertyJoes #LivingLifeInHouston #Kati #KatieAsianTownCenter #
If you want some Peking duck to go within 10 minutes of waiting time, this is the restaurant. They also make really lean milk tea.

Busy snack shop in the Katy chinatown plaza. I felt like everything was slightly overpriced - the boba and popcorn chicken. Worth it if you're looking for a place to hang out for grab a bite before hitting the road.

For boba tea & drinks they are okay but not an exception or anything special. For other foods they are so & so. Being an Asian & as an Asian food lover, I find their food non authentic. I would rather say more Americanized. They have Hong kong & Taiwanese cuisine menus beside tons of drink menus.Their customer service is good & the cashier lady was very polite & professional.They are clean & tidy. Has both regular & high chair-tables.Good for once in a while visit.
Ordered 3 bbq meat combo: crispy pork belly, bbq pork, and soy sauce chicken. Also added a side of chinese broccoli. Crispy pork belly skin was extra crunchy and crispy skin. The meat was tender with a hint of sweetness at the bottom of the slice. Bbq pork was not too sweet and was just right for my liking Soy sauce was nothing special but I would still order it to have a variety The broccoli was sliced perfectly to bite side thus allowing you have it simultaneously with any of the 3 meats We will definitely return if we're in Katy

Just found this restaurant. They serve teas and dim sum type foods and roast pork and duck and char Sui and some Chinese dishes. I got their soya sauce noodles which was pretty good. Will come back to try more!
