A gem of a find for lunch in midtown! The tea selection is amazing. Atmosphere is very serene and unexpected for midtown west. I had the chicken teriyaki dumplings and the soup dumplings - not the best in the world, but still pretty good and at a good price in a bento box. Very friendly service. I would definitely come back here for lunch hour or for tea.
Cool. Expensive.
I've been searching for a homey tea place for the longest time. I decided to give this place a try based on all these lovely reviews I read here. For many restaurants, usually I go in with high expectations and then leave disappointed, but my, oh my, this place certainly lives up to its reputation!
Firstly, the ambiance is great! Very well decorated, with many available paraphernalia available for purchase. All the staff are well mannered, polite and amiable. I felt like I was dining at a friend's home because all my needs were so well taken care of!
Secondly, the tea selection-- OMG! It's amazing. The two of us indulged in a pot of Sweet Elixir tea, which was a delicious blend of rose buds, honey, lemon and sugar. I really love how they write in their menu about what each mixture is supposed to do for the drinker.
And the food! It was delicious!!! I got the Teriyaki rice bowl... and I ate every single bite of it. Usually, I hate onions, but I even finished that! (They caramelized it and the onion actually had a sweet taste... I can't describe it in words, it was sooo delicious!)
I love it that at the end of the meal, I don't feel weighted down or heavy. It has to be one of the best meals I've ever had in New York City!!!!
I definitely recommend it to all!!!
Excellent tea selection. They have a variety of books, tea sets and accessories which are very useful yet pricey. The dumplings are amazing. I tried the egg custard with shrimp. It took me a few bites to get used to it, but by the end I thoroughly enjoyed it. Their cookie of the week was an Earl Grey Chocolate Chip cooking...AMAZING.
This is a comfortable space to bring your book and read. You can also plug in your laptop and get work done, outlets are plenty and conceniently located on the floor in the library area.
I'm looking forward to going back.
Wonderful teas, delicious appetizers, cold noodles, and desserts. A small bookstore on the side adds to the serene and relaxing atmosphere this space has to offer.
I came in with a close friend during dinner hours, and there's two places that you can be seated. If you are here to only drink tea, you will be seated at a smaller table, but next to very soothing decors and tea pots. We came to have some dinner as well, so we were seated at the larger tables (yay!). We had some spicy cold noodles, which is absolutely delicious. We then moved on to some chicken teriyaki dumplings, which is decent.
We had some royal chrysanthemum tea, which was very soothing. It has a bit of sweetness, and boldness in its taste. For dessert, we both went with the ice cream sundae (mine was a scoop of Green Tea, Mango, and Strawberry ice cream with toasted nuts, pieces of mochi, and bits of red bean). The dessert was phenomenal! They went as far as to incorporate pieces of mango in the ice cream, which is a plus. I've never had thus much fun and enjoyment eating a dessert thus far in my life. Big props to them!
And...the waiters were awesome and very helpful! I totally recommend Dan to be your waiter, for he is the tea enthusiast! A rare trait I find in people nowadays :)
The prices for food is a tad expensive for its relatively small serving size (but the dessert is well worth its worth!), but I will definitely come back here again!
Radiance has become my Wednesday quiet spot for oolong, dumplings, reading, and Dan.
Who's Dan? Oh, he's the super nice Chinese guy who probably talked you through the extensive tea menu using layperson vocab that doesn't make you feel stupid. He probably offered to refill your teapot, and returned to sincerely ask how the second steep tasted.
Radiance also excels in its gentle lunch presentation. Delicate little broth-based soups, dumplings in bento boxes [the "soupy" dumplings are good, though not the best in the midst of this craze], soft but tasty homemade miso, tender little mochis for dessert.
If you're like me and you have 95 pages of textbook to read today, it's auspicious that Radiance offers an amusing bookshop to distract, and a library of loose and bagged tea for sale, equally deserving perusal.
The tea is a 5 star-so if you are looking for tea-go here. I have been here twice and had two delightful teas, one from china and one from japan. The lovely little tea biscuit with onion seeds was such a good touch followed by excellent soup of bok choy and chicken cilantro dumplings. Then i had the vegetable dumplings one time and the chicken and woodear mushrooms another time. Service was good, and i was allowed to linger over my lovely pot of YUA black tea...there are few places in NY to get a good pot of tea and this is a top one.
I have not yet experienced their tea ceremony but I love how relaxing this place is. The place has an extraordinary selection of teas. The food is your standard Asian fare. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. If you're overwhelmed by the menu, definitely ask questions. The place isn't too big so I'd recommend making reservations as it can get crowded pretty quickly.
*** 4.5 stars ***
Radiance is a really great tea room experience. There tea selection is extensive, and the descriptions on the menu make you want to pick everything.
The people who work here are very professional, cheerful, informed, and not hasty.
It was very relaxing to drink a pot of tea with no need to rush. Our teas were also both excellent.
I wavered between a 4 and 5 because drinking tea in the "tea room," we were surrounded by all their products for sale. Now, their products are beautiful and unique, but it made us feel like we were eating in store. Nonetheless, I wouldn't hesitate to come back.
Good matcha, they know how to make it.
Had tea ceremony - three teas, one hour - the lady knows a lot, and is very friendly, it's been an hour well spent.
Bought teacups, teas, utensils. The shop carries interesting Chinese clay pots hard to find elsewhere.
If you're in the area, stop by for a cup of tea, it'll make your day better.
What I hope for: more Japanese teas to try from the new season, and matcha cookies to take away.
Thanks to all the people who work at Radiance. You've been great hosts.
