Well Tea in Richmond

Well Tea 茶井 on Urbanspoon

We decided to go to Well Tea since it was one of the few places that was open past midnight (open till 2am on Friday and Sat nights – 1am on other nights).

My company told me that he had come to the restaurant many times with his Chinese-Richmond friend late at night to eat. He said that the place was racist and ignored him, as he was Caucasian.

There was another couple that sat near us, who were also Asian girl with Caucasian guy. They seem to have been seated way before we came, but they still had their menus on the table.idearabbit-welltea_richmond20

The decor was cheap looking, although the glass on the floor with decor seemed interesting. Like other places in Richmond, it was open wide with lots of tables and seats. Young Asians working that seems unmotivated to be there. Well, as a customer, I also wasn’t too happy to be there either. Even the betta fish at the entrance was bored and unenergetic – totally unlike my Mina!

The mixed couple waited longer for their order to be taken, while we tried deciding on what to eat. Nothing healthy on the menu for sure…We finally decided to get bubble tea and an omelet, but the server took forever to come to our table. It was frustrating.

The bubble tea tasted like Shampoo…gross…I know bubble tea isn’t the healthiest drink to start off with, but to have it taste all chemically was even more terrible. The omelet was simple, not worth eating at a restaurant. The service was terrible, nothing was good about the place…it’s no wonder that the location in the heart of downtown has closed down! (Yes, it’s closed down, but read my review on the downtown location) Never ever returning!

Well Tea – Downtown – CLOSED

Well Tea 茶井 on Urbanspoon

I’d seen their ads in the KLIP magazine several times and wanted to go there. So I invited my friend for a dinner there on a Saturday evening.

This Taiwanese restaurant/cafe is fairly spacious. Right beside the downtown location of BCIT, I was a bit surprised to see it almost empty. I thought it would be filled with students. The tables had the electronic bell ring – so Asian. LOL. Very handy when you need service and the staff are too busy to notice. However, in this restaurant, it may not be necessary. But this was the first time, and the only time I’ve gone, so can’t really say how it is other days/times. But a 59% rating on Urbanspoon tells me I’m not the only one that wasn’t happy with the experience.

My friend was running late, so I started off with the Milk Tea $4.25. It could be cuz I’ve taken a lot of my sugar diet out that I found it very sweet. Too sweet to finish…however, it did come in a glass pot and a nice tea cup.

We both ordered the shrimp wonton with noodles in soup $6.95. We were both disappointed in the bland flavour. It was thumbs down T_T…
