if you love tea, this is a great place with an extensive tea menu. if you love dumplings, and rice bowls, they are delicious and fresh. not an extensive menu, but that doesn't matter to us. pleasant surroundings. friendly service. you can be in and out quickly, or hang out for hours.

I spent an afternoon here with my partner, on the last afternoon of our holiday before catching our flight back home. I am a lover of all things tea, so I was keen to visit here.

It's hard to find such a lovely, friendly spot in midtown, away from the bustling crowds along 7th Avenue. The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. It's a special place with very authentic Asian dishes and an amazing selection of teas, both hot and cold.

The world slowed down when we stepped into Radiance. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. The tea selection is vast and the staff is knowledgeable. A wonderful place to stop and breathe and escape the hustle and bustle of the Times Square neighborhood.

I had several "moments" in this place...not related to time, but to the spirit. Starting with the book & gift store...a large selection of beautiful teapots/sets and unique books on all things tea and Asian. The ambiance of the whole place spoke of calm and peace. Ben was my server and he served me well, even adding some great conversation....

Relaxing and fun place to drink special hot or cold teas and I do mean special as this is not a tea bag and hot water place. The lite lunchs and dinners are nice and fairly priced but it is the desserts along with the tea blends and outstanding service that make this the perfect place to relax in midtown...
