About Tea Cup Cafe

Tea Cup Cafe is a chinese restaurant in Sacramento, California. It is listed at 1614 21st Street, Sacramento, CA 95811, which places it among the local businesses of Sacramento that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Sacramento; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–8:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (916) 448-6212. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is teacupcafe.onlineordering.io, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Over all review almost perfect. Pros Large portions! Great food( got the Kung pao chicken) for the price it was awesome. Free soup! Quick service And overall great lunch special pricing! $13 for a large lunch special!! Cons Not many But not the most beautiful or modern look but overall good. Parking can be a little difficult during lunch because it’s a good spot. Can’t blame them for it. The chow main was a bit dry today. But still good. Highly recommend this restaurant. The pros heavily outweigh the cons. And you just can’t beat the price.

Finally tried this popular spot after recommendations from friends and internet reviews. The day I came with my friend we were sat quickly but there were a lot of people also dining in. The inside is beautiful, clean, and the staff were friendly. My friend and I had house special chow mein, jya jee gai, steamed cha siu bao, and xiao long bao. I thought all the food was delicious. The chow mein had thinner and more fried noodles than I’m used to but was flavorful. It was my first time trying the jya jee gai and it was delicious! The skin was crispy and the seasoned salt added a delicious flavor to the chicken. I’m glad to have finally tried this spot and will be back in the future.

My favorite lunch spot during my internship in the late 90s. The owner has changed but the taste and wok flavor is still the same. ❀️

In a nutshell; has one of the best egg tarts I've ever had in recent times, good food overall Parking is a pain though considering it is downtown area, they have a small lot for parking next to the building but I'm sure that may get filled up in busy times. The food, dim sum, and egg tarts were all great. Servers were all accommodating. Place has a lot of tables and can sit a number of parties. Designed like most dimsum places. Overall great experience.

Most dim sum places we've been to in HCOL areas, $5.50 would be a modest small dish with some morsels on the small side. When the food here arrived here, not only were they high quality (below for details), the portion sizes were eye bogglingly large by our standards. Also considering what some other restaurants in this city charge for dishes, the dim sum here and insane value. We had ordered something like 8 dishes because that would have been one meal for two where we've been, so we ended up taking back three boxes! Some of the dishes didn't qualify for the Mon-Thur discount, I'm not sure how it works, but even so, it feels like everything is heavily underpriced for the quantity, quality, ambience, and service. The same size dishes would be at LEAST double what we were charged here. The turnip cakes were huge - perfectly seared and crispy on the surface and turnipy and soft inside. The potstickers were two of the biggest potstickers I've seen. Like empanadas basically. The two alone would be great for a single meal imo. Because they were so big, the breading was a bit thicker, but that made the ratio perfect bc it's a giant meatball inside. The salt and pepper squid was not to
