Tea Light Café

Out of all the places I have been too this year, this was the worst one. I came here because of the food reviews. When we got there, the staff seemed really stressed. I am not sure if they can smile or not, but the atmosphere was really odd. anyways, the main disappointment - food. I always give the benefit of the doubt but there was just no saving this place. My mom, husband and me were all so disappointed, I had to apologized for choosing to eat here for dinner. the food for one is absolutely NOT authentic. The soup will NOT taste the way you are expecting. The meat had absolutely ZERO flavor. i asked for extra meat on the side, i got four slabs of meat that for some odd reason looked so fake. I put it in my broth, and my broth was not hot but warm, so my meat did not cook like it typically would. Bean sprouts? They gave the tiniest amount and it looked expired. so did the 2 jalapeños. so did the one piece of mint. litterally like they were about to run out of toppings. i kid you not I lost my appetite throughout this entire experience. I also paid for extra limes, i guess they do not give limes in general? because what do you mean I got a total of like 4 lime slices? AND THEY WERE SO DRY 😭 AND PLEASE - you will leave smelling like a restaurant. hard pass and am so shocked this place is in business. here we are leaving dinner, going out for dinner again; because the meal was meant for kids. yes, my entire party is still disappointed & hungry.

This family owned spot is a hidden gem! The pork chops were easily some of the best I’ve ever had tender flavorful and perfectly paired with crunchy cabbage and carrots that balanced the sweetness beautifully. I also had the freshly made Thai tea which was smooth refreshing and not overly sweet. The service was warm and attentive and the atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Honestly was really disappointed in this place service-wise and quality of food. Showed up at 7:30 p.m. with two hungry kids. And was told it would only be take out because they close at 8:00? I get that you want to go home, but we're talking pouring a couple bowls of Pho. We order 2 Pho to go. Quick turnaround less than 7 minutes. I asked for some chili sauce, and they told me they have to charge me! Which I can honestly say I have never been asked to pay for chili sauce at any Vietnamese restaurant anywhere, ever. So you're already charging me $14 per Pho, and now you want to charge me for chili sauce that is for free on the table but because you won't let me sit to eat, I have to pay for it? I could let go of the poor service and the nickel and diming if the food was good. But honestly the broth was subpar at best for me, quite bland. My son did enjoy it, so not a total loss. I will likely just go back to Saigon bistro or Viet bites for my north side Vietnamese fix. Hope you guys can improve, it would be nice to have better Vietnamese food in that area.
