About

The Empress Tea Room is a polarizing spot. Many guests love the elegant, magical vibe for showers and parties, praising the owner Kim. However, others feel the transition to a larger event hall has killed the cozy, traditional tea experience. It's a great venue for big groups, but maybe not for a quiet, intimate tea.
