I was looking for roast duck in Katy, and this restaurant caught my eye. I ordered three BBQ meats over rice to try their Chinese BBQ. All three that I tried were above average. I especially liked the roast pork. The crispy skin, along with the juicy meat, was really enjoyable. I would like to come back for the Beijing duck set. The environment was clean and with a good atmosphere.

i come to yan tea to get rice over pork belly all the time, i've been a regular for a good while now, but today i had two issues with Yan Tea. first, as i was paying, my cashier leaned over her first at the counter to see me signing and adjusting tip as i was paying, well, that's really uncomfortable. i wonder how many other people they do this to to guilt trip them into tipping. i'm in the service industry myself so i've always had tipped at least 15% tho i mostly only do takeout but because she did that, i confidently pressed on no tip. i'm not sure if that was what's leading to my second issue, so, long story short, as i was eating( i'm always watching something when i eat) first i wasn't paying attention i was just eating but i felt as though it tasted a little funky/metallic then i looked my plate and it looked like this, the meat looks bruised, i ended up throwing this plate away. they never looked like this before. they're so brown but not like well cooked brown, it's like sickly brown. i noticed that usually when i come get the plate earlier in the day the meat usually looked more fresh that's why i went around noon but i don't know what happened today. it makes me feel a little sick that i in fact had finished half on this plate already. i'm not sure if this lady gave me bad food on purpose because i did the 0 tip.

We ordered a few items. Nothing was worth mentioning or memorable. The crispy pork was extremely dry and tough to chew. We asked for a box to take the leftovers home and the server gave us a dirty box. This is disgusting. We will not be returning as the food wasn’t good nor the establishment clean.

We had an impromptu road trip to Houston earlier this week and on our way, we stopped at Katy for dinner. Originally, we were going to check out Phat Eatery but they happen to be closed that night. We looked a couple doors down was @yantea.katy and we took the chance. It turned out to be a great choice after all. I got Dad a Mango Yogurt, Hubby had a Jasmine Green Tea, and I had a Strawberry Green Tea. I got Dad a Fish Filet Congee. We had ordered the sampler portion of the Scallion Chicken, half Peking Duck, and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Such a delectable treat to have all these mouth-watering foods! I bought the Mango Mille Crepe to go.
