Teahouse

Absolutely horrific. Bland food, warm oysters and uppity staff. Don’t waste your money here it’s absolute rubbish.

Wow, wow, wow! The staff at Tea Bar were amazing and the view was perfect. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or welcoming, we were greeted by Kanako. She made everything easy especially with such a big family. Definitely worth the visit! 10/10

Came here spontaneously on a girls night out and we weren't disappointed! Had a lovely man from Crown reception give us a tour of the different bars and we fell in love with the Tea House. Beautiful interiors and overall atmosphere. The cocktails were so smooth and aromatic and the desserts were fun to try, very different. Service was fantastic, highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning place to have a coffee or drinks!
Wonderful service and fantastic ambiance.

This place is so well designed and beautiful and the whole idea is great. It's located in a hot spot too. The staff is so helpful and kind.
The only feedback from my side, I would expect more taste in those amazing cocktails. The taste needs to be stronger. For instance, I tried the cocktail with lapsang souchong and whiskey, and it felt a bit bland. Was expecting a smoky flavour.
But all in all, a great place

Not recommended at all. In case you have too much money to burn, there are many other places far better to spend with. Such low standard offered inside Crown Tower is absolutely disgraceful that Teahouse pretends to be high class but nothing is up to standard. Interior pretends to be majestic but decoration is not and furniture are old and dirty. Staffs are friendly but not trained. Food and drinks are not bad but far too pricey for the quality. Overall it's a place pretends to be classy but doesn't pay any effort to catch up the standard at all. I also can't believe Crown Tower offered such low standard compare to Crown Melbourne.

The décor is strikingly beautiful and the staff today doted on us because we were only 2 of 4 customers. Very quiet. The food was gorgeous albeit incredibly expensive but I guess you don’t dine at Crown if you’re hunting cheap eats. $65 for the tuna (delish!), two pots of tea and a 500ml bottle of mineral water. No booze. But the service was exemplary (as you’d expect from an empty restaurant at Midday Sunday; the crowds nowhere to be seen - thanks, Covid). Overall our experience was great. Yes it’s extremely expensive but as I said, it’s an experience; it was fun. Staff were wonderful (thanks for the umbrella, folks, my belief in Humanity restored).

Great atmosphere and service. The portions are quite small and pricey compared to places in nearby Haymarket, but the quality, presentation and taste is superb!

Cocktails were nice, great views. Overpriced but tasteful desserts (portions are way too small as well). Service was mediocre not outstanding. Service was not as bad as some of the listed reviews. However an air of condescension was definitely present.

Love the desserts and drinks here! Teahouse really prides themselves on their presentation which you can clearly see in the photos. The taste is also amazing, albeit being on the pricey side.

Over priced food with underwhelming taste. However cocktails and food presentation were excellent. The view of the harbour and bird cage setting was also very nice. Good to try but won’t be back in a rush for the food.

Excellent food but pricey. Good service and nice for a large family in the bird cage with privacy and space with a private lounge.

Given its location, have to admit I went to this place expecting all style and little substance. Can't say I was far off. 24 dollars for 3 average but beautifully presented dumplings. Drinks list was nothing to write home about. Service was also just passable. Biggest positive was the beautiful decor, although I have to say seats weren't all that comfortable and the oddly shaped table didn't help. Definitely a venue that attracts a certain kind of clientele and that in itself isn't a bad thing, but I know I will not be back in a hurry.

The Teahouse
Nothing special
Dumplings were not nice
At least I can say we have been never again

Great place for a nice cocktail and experience. Service was great by all the staff and the decor was perfect for the setting. The food options looked great as well.

Great ambiance. Food presented beautifully but overpriced. Service is average. The tea is nothing special. Not keen to come back in a hurry.

The wonderful staff made our visit feel very special.
We had a lovely time in this beautiful venue.

Quite extravagant at around $20 a plate for 3 small pieces of whatever dumpling/hargow which tastes unique but average. You definitely are paying for the amazing decor, views and service.

Disappointing experience last night. Service was non existent, server recommended dessert that she stated was not available, had to check if they could make coffee or if the kitchen was closed for the night? Made to feel like we were an inconvenience to their empty bar that was no where near closing time. Maybe if the staff were more friendly and welcoming people would be interested to stay.

Despite the luxurious appearance, the service is far from the visuals of the restaurant. The servers seated us and we were left forgotten for an hour, leaving nearly a total of two hours wait before we began eating. The reception was stoic and unfriendly, as though they couldn't wait for us to leave. The food was placed beautifully with colourful accents, but it was overpriced, mediocre and the taste did not match appearances.

You really need to book prior to coming in order to secure indoor seating versus sitting outside. This is an uncomfortable experience on cold and windy days due to the location of Crown Sydney. It's worth going once for the picturesque and unique seating arrangement of bird-cage esque booths, but I would not visit again due to my unpleasant experience.
