The GREEN TEA DUMPLINGs are wonderful @ TRT. The filling are moist with flavour and the skin was cooked just right.
I'm also a fan of the GREEN TEA MOUSSE with coconut shreds

I think this place is going down. When Ten Ren's first opened, the food AND tea were very good. At $7 or $8.99 a tea, it definitely is not the cheapest, but going for tea is all about the atmosphere as well as the tea.
My parents and I used to come here often for lunch and snacks. We even opted to get the discount card which deducts %10. We even used to get free calendars or tea cups. Now, service is atrocious. Not in the rude kind, but the ones where waiters don't smile and just heap the hot tea on your table.
My parents and I came here for Saturday lunch and were promptly seated. No less than 2 minutes, a lady barked if we were ready to order. We couldn't even finish our sentence before she left and said she would come back. Tea's were put on our table but which ones? When we were ready to order, we felt so bad to order, because our waitress sighed and heaved and I wouldn't be surprised if she even eye-rolled.
Listen, we get it that your job sucks or that you hate your life, but no need to share the negativity.
I had the Pu-Erh Beef noodles. The beef was rock hard dry and I was quite thirsty after eating my noodles (MSG anyone?) Needless to say, food was very mediocre at best.
I am sad to see Ten Ren's decline. Special places that I spend a lot of time with my parents are good memories for me. I will take comfort in knowing I can make new memories at other places. -

The only shop I still go for bbt.
This is not just another bbt joint. This location is a dim sum at day, bbt at night, and tea store all around the clock. I have heard good things about the dim sum here but haven't tried it yet. I have tried their snack and they're decent.
Likes:
- probably the best bbt in Toronto
- decor is modern and the renovation is unique
- well kept and the washroom is clean
- lots of seats so it's good for large groups
Dislikes:
- services are horrible, ask for water twice, you no get water even if it's tap water
- pricing is ridiculously high for just drinks. Pretty sure I can get a full meal with drink for $6.99-7.99.
- food could be better considering the premium they charge for eating inside a tea shop.
All in all, I prefer this tea shop over tea shop since I know I won't be drinking rubbish powder bbt so I don't mind paying a bit more for it; and it's just easier to get seats for large group without the long wait.
Cheers. -

Ten Ren is one of my favourite places for bubble tea in town. Although the prices are slightly higher than Destiny's and Go 4 Tea, I think the drinks here are higher in quality.
I almost always order the taro milk black tea! It's just so yummy and comforting. For cold drinks, I like their fruit yogurt slushes a lot. I've tried the kiwi and peach flavoured ones and they're both very delicious.
I've never actually ordered the food here, but I've tried some of the desserts. The freeze cakes are quite interesting and I'd say they're worth a try. Once, I had a green tea red bean donut, and that wasn't remarkable. But I think that was only a limited time offering.
All in all, despite the higher price, Ten Ren is still my go to place for bubble tea.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge

This place is just okay for me. I find it a bit pricier than other bubble tea places and the menu isn't outstanding to me. I don't really come here often because it's a bit far and out of my way.
The place is nicer though so if you're willing to pay a little more for comfier seating then you should definitely check this place out.
This location is around Destiny and Go 4 Tea, if those two places are packed, I think it'll be worthwhile to try out Ten Ren! -
Review from Lynn H.
Toronto, ON
I was pleasantly surprised to see that this place was more of a restaurant than a typical BBT joint. The interior is very nicely done. They're really kid friendly and provide high chairs & children's dishware. The food is pretty tasteful and they have nicely sized portions. My BBT wasn't the best I've had because my biggest pet peeve is having watered down BBT with melted ice!!!! ARGH!! I'd rather have strong tea with half ice. Other Ten Ren's (in the mall or Pacific Mall) make it nice & strong with lots of ice, just how I like it!
I guess overall I would say that it's pretty good. Good enough that I'd be coming back if we were in the area again. -

I could have sworn I'd already written a post for this place but anyway. I feel obliged to write a review for Ten Ren's after coming here waaay too many times in the past two months. This is all the doing of my friends since I was not much of a bubble tea person before August!
I love this place way more than other bbt places because they use real ingredients, not some crappy powder or syrupy stuff. It actually does make a super difference in the taste.
I got hooked on the slushes ever since coming and haven't veered off much whenever I go back. The taro slush, green tea slush, and red bean slush is awesome. The red bean one is made with jasmine tea, which smells really good. I also really like the hot taro tea. It's pretty thick because of the real taro. I've tried it at a couple other places nearby and there's no comparison.
Service is A-OK too! Been great every time.1 Previous Review: Show all »

The drinks here are a bit pricy especially after conversion when compared to Boston Chinatown, but we were in a vacation mood. For take-out though, they seem to offer a slight discount when you pay cash. The taro slush (minus the tea) I had was good.
We also came here for lunch once. They have these super-filling Tea Meal Sets for $15.49 where you select a Main Course (King's Tea Pork Ribs with rice for me!), you get a Salad, your choice of 3 Vegetable Sides (Alluring Jasmine Tofu), a Soup (Tea Flavoured Wonton Soup), a dessert (Green Tea Mango Mousse), and a Drink (if you order a different drink that what's offered, you pay 1/2 the price of the selected drink - Lychee Yogurt Slush $6.99 reg price). That's what we all went for.
The salad okay but a bit drenched with dressing. The wonton soup was nice and hot. The pork was great! Tender and tasty and plentiful (for me anyhow). I tried all three veggies, and I must say I liked my tofu much more than the turnip or the cabbage (both steamed). The slush was okay, but I was up for trying something else next time. And the dessert was tiny at perhaps 2 inches square, but was perfect since I hadn't been able to finish the rest of my meal. In fact, I had to recruit help to clean up on the pork and tofu. For me it was a tie between the mango cake and the coffee flavored frozen Twister Freeze Cake with the Green Tea Snow Cake with it's too soft a texture and lack of flavor at a distant third. -

First of all, I'm from Southern California, where there are tea/boba/bubble tea places all over. I've lived in SoCal, and NY, and am a regular bubble tea drinker.
I would like to take a few paragraphs, however to complain about how terrible bubble tea is in Toronto. My God, there is not a SINGLE place in downtown Toronto that makes boba properly. It is either mushy outside, or too hard inside, or the tea doesn't taste right, or it is too milky, etc, etc. I had no idea boba could be made so WRONG as it is in Toronto. Sheesh. I almost stopped drinking boba in Toronto.
Having said that, I had a fabulous lobster meal at O Mei, and asked the waitress, do you know where I could get good bubble tea? figuring that since I wasn't up here on 7 that much, I should try some boba up here. He laughed, because he thought I was a frikkin pig for wanting boba after stuffing my face with 4 ways lobster, then pointed across the street to TenRen.
I thought, OH! and oh... b/c honestly, the TenRen downtown sucks, and I thought this might be the same. So, I said, ah, what the heck, might as well try it since I came all the way up here.
So I did.
And YES!!! FINALLY, good boba in Toronto!! (or Richmond Hill) Tea was good, not sweet, tapioca pearls done to perfect consistency. And I thought to myself, man, you were taking those perfect tapioca pearls for granted in california, buddy...
ok, here's the kicker: THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE FREAKING BOBA I HAVE EVER HAD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
the decor/atmosphere is NICE. Nicer than most places in LA, even.
but it does NOT justify $9, boba, people! O M G. Extra for large size and tapioca pearls?! Really? NINE DOLLARS FOR BOBA?!
My LA/California inner self is seething at the ridiculous price, while my tongue and stomach is telling the inner self to STFU. -

I've been to this specific location a few times now, usually when one is looking for a place that is open later but isn't a club, in the Richmond hill area. If anyone knows anything else, would love to hear about it!
I definitely like the concept Of a tea shop. The service is fairly quick and food or tea is out in under 5 minutes, tops! The menu has a wide assortment of teas, slush and frozen drinks to choose from. The food is mainly in appetizer type format good for a tea party, with an Asian twist.
They have 1000 year old egg which is like a black egg...not for everyone and its on my todo lists before I die... But I can fully attest to their condensed milk brick toasts ( chocolate is great) and waffles with green tea ice cream + fruits dishes....delicious!!!
They are fairly open about you staying there the whole day if reading or meeting friends, but heads up, no card playing is allowed, whether u r gambling or not. A company policy (I believe it includes dice) so take your monopoly deal or solitaire elsewhere!!!!
The prices can be steep but then I'm simplifying it to " why does a pot of flavored water cost 8$??" I don't know the overheads (they have a lot of employees which helps with the service but must also increase the costs) or how much love went into my pot of tea...
Overall I really like the ambience, service, clean washrooms, and concept but just can't say I'm a big fan until I can try out an alternative to compare against! If u know one, let me know ( for late night hangouts across the city) -

Review from Yvonne T.
Visited a TenRen for the first time today. I had heard that they had some of the best bubble tea.
I ordered the Longan Ginger Tea and my friend ordered a hot Taro Milk Tea sans Tapioca.
I really liked my Longan Ginger Tea. It had a generous amount of Longan flesh in it and real pieces of Ginger. Definitely good quality.... Taro Milk Tea was actually made from real taro, not the powdered stuff. We also ordered the Twister Freeze Cake and it was so unimpressive and so weird tasting. Would definitely come back for the teas but not for dessert. -

Recently I visited twice there. The first time I ordered a beef brisket noodle. The noodle is good but the brisket is pretty fatty. We ordered an "8 precious" tea although is good but the seemed like that the restaurant has reduced the quantity of all the ingredients per pot. So the taste of the tea is diluted.
The second time I went there was a few days later with friends. This time we ordered the beef brisket noodle and special ordered the beef to be lean. It turned out to be good. The rest of us ordered set dinner with mixture of dishes. These sets were average.
The layout of the restaurant is pretty comfortable and has separation here and there. The waitresses are all dressed in Chinese look uniform. They speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese -

A pretty good place for bubble tea and food (a snack or lunch/dinner). They are open very late, so it's a great place to go hang out after everything else has closed for the night.
I would highly recommend their Shu Mai, it's the best I've had, and comes across as homemade, not those frozen store shu mai you can buy. Also good is the Alluring Jasmine Tofu. The shaved ice is not bad, and they finally got hot grass jelly, which is great in cold weather. The main issue I've had with them is that they often run out of something on the menu, which can be very disappointing if you wanted to order something specific.
Their bubble teas are also (according to them) made fresh, and not from powders, therefore their color is a bit different from the usual. The taro milk tea is usually grayish in color, and not purple as in many other places.
Overall, I would definitely recommend them, especially for a late-night dinner/snack. -

I came to Ten Ren's for lunch with some coworkers. The decor and atmosphere is really nice. The food is okay and the price is adequate. The service could be improved.
*** FOOD ***
I ordered the Chicken with Ginger lunch special, which comes with some sides and tea or soup. I took the Lychee Black Tea.
* Chicken with Ginger *
This is the second time I ordered chicken and it was cold but it's supposed to be. Strangely, this always comes as a surprise to me. I don't find cold chicken to be appetizing at all. The meat is well cooked, but it looks raw and the skin is soggy and gummy. The chicken comes with a sauce that's slightly salty to eat with the rice. I think I will go cold turkey on cold chicken. The salad is a small bowl of 2 raisins, 1 cherry tomato and some pieces of lettuce. The salad dressing sinks to the bottom of the bowl. The sides are chunks of tofu floating in an aromatic sauce. The tofu tastes good. There's a couple pieces of broccoli and a slice (half-circle) of carrot. Lastly, there's a spring roll that has a slight spiciness, but isn't hot - this was tasty. Although I'm not a fan of the chicken, I think it's an acquired taste and clearly, I haven't acquired it.
* Lychee Black Tea *
You can smell the lychee in the tea and taste it too. The tea itself is very aromatic and the lychee adds sweetness to it. There is however and sour aftertaste. I'm not sure if something is added to make it sour or if it's just the tea. This tea is not something you can drink quickly, but you have to drink it in sips over a period of time. Otherwise, the tea may become unpalatable.
*** APPEARANCE ***
Ten Ren's decor is really nice. The restaurant doubles as a store that sells tea. They have a glass divider with Chinese writing between the store and restaurant parts. There's a lot of bamboo on the ceiling and columns. The walls have murals of ancient Chinese paintings. The restaurant is clean and has a fresh herbal smell.
*** SERVICE ***
Once we arrived, we were quickly seated. After being seated, no one came to ask if we wanted anything to eat or drink. After ordering, the food took a while to come. There weren't many people in the restaurant and since I ordered the lunch special, it should have come quickly. Our server was nice and quite monotonous for the most part.
*** PRICE ***
Chicken with Ginger and Rice + Sides + Tea: $8.99
Pricing is good especially since the portion size was good too.
*** HIGH TEA ***
Ten Ren's a nice restaurant that provides customers with an authentic Chinese tea experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is not only seen in the decor but smelt in the aroma in the air. The food is a mix of the not so good and the okay. However, it may just be the dish that I tried. The tea is great! I would definitely return to try other flavors. If you're up for tea, head down to Ten Ren's.Listed in: I got Yellow Fever

Review from Rita E.
I'm sorry... I don't dig the layout. The in-restaurant store or in-store restaurant... I'm not lovin it. There's too much going on. If the wall that divides the restaurant was moved (or duplicated) to divide the store from the restaurant, I think I might give this place another star.
Otherwise, lunchtime take-out is good. They are quick & the food is plenty filling. Honestly, Ten Ren's tea seems pretty chalky to me. It's not my bubble tea of choice, but it gets the job done. -

Ten Ren is a good place for me to hang out with my friends. I like to go during weekdays when they do not restrict you to use your computer. during the weekend, they won't let you stay too long with your computer. Their drinks are awesome. Mango Slush less sweeten is my all time favourite.

Review from Valery C.
6/14/2010 1 Check-in Here
This Ten Ren outpost, in a small strip mall on Highway 7 near Times Square, includes a full size tea store on the right as you enter, and a somewhat convoluted dining area in front and left, with a slightly open kitchen area along the left wall. High ceilings and dark wood furnishings gives this expansive dining space a sophisticated feel that remains very open b/c of all the natural light from windows.
Came here twice strictly for drinks, but they also have a varied selection of snack and lunch items, and set menus. Their extensive drinks menu is filled with teas prepared with an array of ingredients (including fruits and milk), served cold or hot or slush, with choices of items to add, most commonly tapioca ("bubble"). Their teas are quite expensive, at least twice the price of most typical places.
I had cold grapefruit tea both times. There's a real tea flavor, blended nicely with grapefruit juice, just a bit more bitter than I'd prefer but otherwise very refreshing and not too sweet. Swiped sips/spoonfuls of cold grape tea, pineapple tea slush, watermelon tea slush, and strawberry tea slush from fellow diners and all tasted like their respective fruits, not artificial tasting. The large size is enormous, the regular is generous enough. Still expensive, but I felt like it was justified by quality as well as size. -
Review from Bijan V.
There's just something about Ten Ren's which makes it appealing and keeps people coming back, because if you simply looked at their prices, you'd just walk right away! Yes it's expensive but their tea's and BBT's are just different than anywhere else (where else can you get Apple and High Mountain Oolong bubble tea?) and I keep coming back to try all the teas they offer!
And yes they offer A LOT of tea. They have a good 10 page menu that ONLY lists different types of teas (BBT's, Fruit Teas, hot teas, cold teas, etc, etc). And they also have a large section where you can buy your own loose leaf teas and tea pots and the such.
They also do offer some food but that's not why I would come here (although I've never tried any dishes yet!) -

This review is based on my lunch experience at Ten Ren's Teatime.
Lunch menu starts from $8.99 that includes salad, apetitizers, main and a choice of soup or hot or cold drink.
I ordered the Stired Fried Rice Noodle Set for $8.99. The food arrives quickly... and it is quite tasty... and the iced grapefruit tea is really nice and refreshing on a hot sunny day!
I think the lunch set menu is excellent value for the money!
However, the Strawberry and Pineapple slush ($7.29)!! It does look delicious and have good presentation. But for $7.29 that is quite pricey!!
I really enjoy having my lunch with my friend at the patio.. It was shady, has a nice breeze and quiet.. No one wants to sit outside, they all stayed inside hiding with the Air Conditioning!
The service is nice and friendly, since the place was not busy at all when we arrived!
I would definitely be back for lunch! But not other time when there are no specials. I really think the price is really too expensive!
BTW, free wifi access during business hours except Friday and Saturday and public Holidays after 6 pm.
They accepts Visa and Mastercard! -

Ten Ren's Teatime, to me, is such a juxtaposed place. Ten Ren is a Taiwanese company and they have stores all over Taiwan. Service there is immaculate. So it was almost like a Heaven and Hell experience.
The first time I went with my brother. The place wasn't THAT busy so we were attended by the ladies at the front (where they sell packaged tea leaves) immediately. However, the experience just goes downhill from there. I expected *somewhat* attentive service from our server. Or at least service with a smile. Nope. The place is rather large, but there was no way of flagging down or notifying our server from where we were sitting.
I ordered their vegetarian lunch combo. The food was barely okay, nothing spectacular. The combo came with a choice of soup/tea-coffee. The 'tea-mocha' was better but it didn't have any hint of tea in it. Just felt like I was drinking hot chocolate.
Needless to say. No tip. kthxbai.
The second time around wasn't any better either. (At least the server smiled this time and I tipped. It's easy to win tips from me). I ordered the Pomello green tea, if my memory serves me correctly. It was absolutely revoltingly sweet. I felt I was just drinking diluted high-fructose syrup and was going to develop hyperglycemia. No taste of the green tea. A tiny bit of the pomello. Just sugar.
I'm sticking to the basics when I go next time. If I do go that is. -

Seems that the consensus is pretty clear here and my review simple backs up what has already been already established in previous comments. Ten Ren has a great interior.
It's a nice place to hangout. Very spacious, good lighting, and tables are spaced apart which make me feel comfortable. Now the bad. For a place which I find a tad expensive the food is just ok, the drinks are interesting and aren't bad. Although for those prices, you wouldn't expect anything less. -

It's a tradition for my forever friend and I to go on our annual date to hang out. Ten Rens is one of our favourite bubble tea places. I ordered their dinner set menus ($15) that includes chicken cutlet with green tea noodles, small salad, miso soup, dessert (I chose Mango Mousse) and choice of drink. There are 3 choices for the dessert but the green tea snow cake was a frozen when I tired it previousy so I avoided that. Lastly, there was a limited choice of cold bubble tea or hot tea. I chose the Mandarin Orange Hot Flower Tea - very good. I would recommend their Fruit Tea but that was not on the discounted menu. Overall, it was decent and good. There is free WiFi for individuals that want to do their homework or hangout with internet access. Service is decent as they speak English and Mandarin.
I would also recommend their cold 913 Milk Tea - which is very strong mlik tea. Or their cold Mango Slush with Bubbles is also one of my favourites. However, for each drink is a bit pricey. -

I'm giving this 4 because it is one of the best bubble tea shops in the Richmond Hill area.
They charge a lot more for their drinks. All drinks use teas that are brewed with their own branded stuff and not powder mixed like most other places. The food isn't half bad here either. Interesting snack selections.
Feels like you're having a more sophisticated tea experience, interior is nice. Have a mix of seating from tables and booths.
I've frequented this place a lot and will continue to in the future. -

Enjoyed this place a lot. Our group ordered a variety of hot teas, including an almond milk tea, and a sesame milk tea- both were very good. Liked that they also had small plates and snacks that you could order for munchies. Friendly service. The restaurant/cafe is attached to a small retail area.

If you're a big fan of tea, like I am, be sure to give Ten Ren's a try. They've got every tea you can think of and so many food dishes also made with tea. In addition to this, they have great desserts. My fav is the shaved ice plate where you can choose your own toppings. My 3 fav toppings are peanuts, tapioca (bubbles) and red bean. Yum yum.
The decor is also pretty good. -
Review from Jenny T.

My friends and I go here sometimes for bubble tea. We like to change it up between a few places. Of all the bubble tea places, I think Ten Ren's drinks are the best. I haven't gotten a drink here that I didn't like and I'm usually kind of picky when it comes to certain things. I don't like trying too many new things because I find that a lot of times the drinks are too sweet but this is not the case with Ten Ren. I've tried their crysanthemum hot tea as well, and that was good too.
As a tea shop, they're really good, but their food is not good. I've tried their fried rice with tapioca in it?! Weird and too oily. And their popcorn chicken is also too salty and oily.
Yes, their service is really bad because they seem to be understaffed at times, and even when they aren't busy the servers don't seem to attentive. I'm kind of forgiving when it comes to that though, because it's not like a restaurant where I am ordering multiple courses or need extra sauce or napkins. If I get my drink, and eventually, the bill ... then I'm a pretty happy camper. -

this is a cute cafe where you can hang out with friends while sipping on tea. it's much larger than it seems from the outside but when i went on a friday night around 9:30 pm, every seat was taken and there was a line to get a table. it was also fairly difficult to find a parking spot in the lot.
their bubble tea is expensive; i'm pretty sure my regular black tea with pearls cost $6.99 and it was nothing special (on the weak side). however, i think if you order a drink, you can get something off the snack/food menu for $3? my friend ordered tea and got crispy (popcorn) chicken for $3. my friend's hot taro tea was better than my iced bubble tea and it comes in a pretty tea pot with a cup in a little tray.
they also have a selection of teas that you can buy to take home in a little section near the entrance.Listed in: O Canada - Toronto

This place makes you want to learn about tea as you're ordering random drinks that has NOTHING to do with it (just kidding...that's my way of saying how cool their tea pot/cup collection is). I tried some drink with ALOE and it was crazy good. The decor is "happening" but not as impressive as GO FOR TEA, which is about 2-3 blocks away. Overall, I would say that I am willing to go back when I'm in town.

I love the décor here. The appetizers are half price after midnight--which is when I'm usually here. The slushes are amazing--made from real ingredients, not powders. It might seem expensive but the difference in quality makes it worth it compared to, say, Tea House 168. Relaxed social atmosphere with well trained staff makes this a great place to bring friends or a date.

i like their bubble tea, i like their slushies and all. but this place is great if you don't expect anything out of their tea-infused dishes, most of which have very little taste of tea but prices are all jacked up bc of the concept, modern decor, etc. food is good otherwise, just a little disappointed and felt the place is a bit too gimmicky and overpriced as a result.
