Tea Horse Sichuan Bistro 川知味

In the course of two days, we came to this restaurant twice! The setting of Tea Horse is gorgeous, newly renovated and with creative integrations of Chinese culture and modernness. We ordered a sweet and spicy soup, and to start off, it was delicious. I’ve been to restaurants where the soup is too watery and has no flavor, but this soup is authentic and the tofu is soft and silky. Next, the spicy beef tripe also met our standards. it was flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, and chewy beef tripe. For veggies, we ordered stir fried green beans, and when I say that they are DELICIOUS, they really are. The toasted mustard stems and minced meat bring out so much flavor and the green beans themselves are extremely crunchy. Finally, the fried pork kidneys were here. Unexpectedly soft but crisp on the outside, the pork kidneys were simply amazing. Complemented with bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, and spicy sauce, the dish is scrumptious. And don’t be afraid: even though pork kidneys sounds scary, don’t worry, it’s so delicious and you’ll forget about what it is entirely.

Amazing. The crispy spicy shrimp was great, so crispy so tender and flavorful. The green beans, man that was the best execution I’ve ever seen. The pork bits and the dryness of the beans were flawless. Egg tomato was nice, really tender and balanced sweet flavor. The rice was super good, great texture and moist. the spicy beef soup was a bit too strong for me Cool vibes and decor. Nice lazy susan, and place mats. And the detail of the wooden chairs and the door ways and open windows, lovely. And the tea map was fun. Great atmosphere overall

We found our new Sichuan joint. Military family here and we look for Sichuan restaurants and compare them. This place is reasonably priced ($20 on average for a dish) and the quality of food is incredible. Place was busy but something about Sichuan restaurant hospitality, they let us get a table without a reservation.

They don't skimp on the good stuff! At about 6:45pm, Mom ate until she was full after not eating all day and it looked like she didn't touch it! But that onion pancake wrapped beef 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤A new staple when i'm in town! it's almost if China met Philly... so many delicious flavors and textures in one amazing bite! The outer crispy flakiness of the onion pancake with its inner doughiness and soft tender thin sliced beef like a cheesesteak with a slight hint of a light sweetness that brings all the savory flavors and textures together to create a masterpiece!!!!! it's one of those things when the first bite shows you down to savor each part of the experience.... sooooo good!!!! soooooo good! Mom said her double cooked pork was really good with a slight spicyness. My beef and broccoli was so tender and flavorful and the broccoli just makes melts in your mouth and has a wonderful aftertaste!!!! Definitely want to return and will be b-lining to those onion pancake beef wraps!!!!

Update: They took the braised beef tendon off the menu. They may tell you it's sold out, but it is not. This was my staple dish here. So now I will not be here as often. Lots of other good dishes to try though. This place is so good. I would highly recommend checking it out. Authentic Chinese food. And if you enjoy Red Pepper Sichuan in Towson you will love this place, as it is the same brand. We had many delicious dishes. Love that! The menu is mostly pictures! The service was great and the restaurant is gorgeous. Highly recommend the beef tendon, green beans and the cumin lamb, although I will say the lamb was much spicier than I am used too.
