Gorgeous tea house with indoor, upstairs, and outdoor seating. Has a restroom nearby and sells some tea as well. Highly recommend the 7 treasure tea, moon cakes, and peanuts. Atmosphere was wonderful and service was excellent. You also get free hot water refills of your tea!
I've never been in an actual Teahouse, but Lan Su's Teahouse takes the garden experience to another level. The view from the dining area out into the garden is great, and it's a nice area to relax if you've been walking around a lot for hours. As for the food, I have no frame of reference for comparison to actual Chinese dishes, but it was good. It's been a while since I've been through Portland, but I'd definitely stop by again if in the area and encourage you to as well.
This is a beautiful little tea house. There's a large selection of loose-leaf teas to choose from and a small selection of snacks and small plates. Great views of the garden from the upper floor of the teahouse, which is only accessible to paying customers. They also sell tins of tea and have a fun selection of traditional tea sets for purchase.
A lovely tea house within the garden serving light snacks and various kinds of tea. It’s such a tranquil and peaceful surrounding. The tea was served in a very small tradition pot which comes out very strong and staff frequently topped it up with water. I had the Long Jing tea for $7 which a bit pricey for that quality. I didn’t think the tea was good quality, if it was then it shouldn’t look like that. This type of tea needs space to float vertically.
Service was friendly and helpful.
Overall, l enjoyed just sitting upstairs in the tea house reading while enjoying one of my favourite tea.
Perfect spot to catch up with a friend! I asked for recommendations and the tea was buttery and perfect and lots of refills. The almond cookie went really well with the tea. They also have mooncakes and other savory dishes. Great atmosphere!
When you purchase a ticket to enter the garden, the tea house is inside the garden. You cannot get to this tea house without purchasing the ticket. If you want to eat or sit at the tea house, every member of your party must pay $6 and order a pot of tea. It's the first come first serve seating and it's pretty serene and peaceful to eat here. The teas are pretty good selection and the mini dishes are nice to have with tea. The food are all vegan/ vegetarian. I would definitely recommend for the experience. It's very nice and serene!

A gem in the middle of the city. Love the food, and the tea is incredibly flavorful. A peaceful spot to let everything go for the afternoon.
When visiting the Lan Su Garden, visiting the teahouse is a must. The tea and food was delicious, the service was good, and the atmosphere in the garden was perfect.
Absolutely my new favorite chill oasis in Portland! Perfect for a date and a light lunch/afternoon tea (especially if one or both of you are vegan).
I recommend the jasmine hot tea and the rose black tea and I especially recommend the mooncakes! Best I've ever had!!
Would’ve been nice to access the tea house without paying $14 entrance fee to garden. The tea is good and hot water refills come often, fortunately timed pretty well for steeps. Would’ve opted for gaiwan and a better tea + food if I hadn’t already spent $14 to enter… you’re better off visiting Tao of Tea if you want a tea house experience. The garden itself is nice and small. Didn’t have time for the full tour. Many homeless around the gate.
