About

Ruo Tea presents a calm tea house experience blending traditional Chinese teas with fully vegan hot pot and stew dishes. The minimalist wooden interior includes options for Japanese Tatami seating, and guests change into slippers upon entry, enhancing the zen atmosphere. While the menu is fully in Chinese with photo QR codes, the staff are knowledgeable about tea and vegan offerings, though some food items can take longer to serve and prices are mid-range with a RM38 minimum spend per person.
