Go For Tea - North York Industiral

Following the day's intense walking adventure, I suggested dropping by Go For Tea to refuel. To my surprise, the Scarborough location was even larger and grander than their now-shuttered Richmond Hill spot. <br/ <br/ We chanced upon their Afternoon Tea Time Special, which was a two-part combo that included two snacks and 50% off any of their drinks. The portions were relatively substantial, making it a great pre-dinner option.

The inside of the place is HUGE!! And they have a really big menu as well. It is a great place to go with your friends at any time of day. They also have free wifi if you plan on going to lounge or study. Tried the shrimp satay udon noodles, which were pretty decent, loved the shitake mushrooms in them. Also all their milk-iced teas are amazing, my personal favourites are honeydew or peach. I highly recommend getting tapioca in your drink when they give you the option, makes it so much better. The prices are great but do keep in mind if you go at night on a weekend you’ll have to wait a bit for a table.

After morning errands were finished, I suggested trying out a new place for lunch: Go For Tea.<br/ <br/ When we arrived, I was surprised at how large the interior of the restaurant was. Based on photos uploaded onto various networks/restaurant review apps, the inside was much more spacious than expected. It had a modern feel that was juxtaposed by the gaudy artificial leftover Christmas decorations. This is not to say that the decorations weren't visually appealing; they just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the decor.<br/ <br/ The strange choice of music also caught my eyes well, ears. To avoid classifying the style into an inappropriate genre, I will simply state the the tunes were more fitting for a cozy Moroccan diner than a sophisticated afternoon tea joint.<br/ <br/ Service was decently fast, and our waiter attended to us in a timely manner, though not always with the most friendliest expression.

Good looking servers but I agree they could smile a bit more. A great place for a first date and a snack after a night of drinking. The decor is beautiful, especially at night. I recommend the popcorn chicken!

We were here for dinner the night before and had a good dinner experience. We were surprised with the good spacious restaurant which does not look like it from the outside. We would have liked the lighting to have been a little bit more inside.<br/ <br/ For drinks we had a jasmine green tea and almond milk green tea with tapioca pearls. Both were the hot ones and we loved it.<br/ <br/ For dinner we had a grilled salmon with rice, diced chicken in kung pao style and diced chicken with mushroom curry. Both the chicken dishes are main courses and they come with a choice of soup and rice. The soup that we got was corn and pork with vegetables. We had no complaints with dinner. The portion sizes were good enough for 1 and the chicken was cooked well. <br/ <br/ The only thing that we would have liked better was for the water we asked for water for the table and didn't receive it at all.
