Recommend? Only if you’re vegetarian.
I’m vegan. My first two choice items weren’t available, the curry noodles and the rice cakes. I ordered the A set thinking it comes with vegan stew. It only comes with the vegan tendon. The set A also has Parmesan herb king oyster mushroom and seaweed salad. I also got the dumplings and the minced mushroom noodle soup. I would say if you prefer your food on the more savory side then this might be too lightly flavored for you.
I did enjoy their lotus tea a lot. You don’t often see lotus tea on menus, even at dim sum places.
Overall, it just wasn’t my preference.

Wonderful place. I felt I was eating at a grandma’s house. Delicious fresh food and cozy atmosphere. Such nice people. I’ll definitely come back.

We came here during Chinese new year and the tea house was closed bc of the festivities. There were a couple of outdoor tents that had food to purchase. Plenty of variety and were delicious.
The temple had a few activities and crafts to buy. Very cool place, looking forward the the tea house next time.

This is the tea house inside Chung Mei Buddhist Temple in Houston (Stafford).
The gardens are beautiful!
Food was good, also.

My family and I don’t eat out much, but we went here to try something new. The atmosphere was unbeatable, the view was very nice and peaceful, it was calming to be there. The food was also great, we came here because we are vegetarians, and we wanted to try new cuisines, we ended up loving it! The staff was so polite and kind, and they made our experience even better! Would recommend coming here!

I smelled food as I toured Fo Guang Shan temple. Then, I looked around and found Water Drop Teahouse. I like the setup and hospitality. Food was really good. I’m not vegetarian but I always wanted to explore options and share the delicious food with my vegetarian friends.
Please note, there are differences between vegetarian and vegan. The triangle pocket has lots of cheese. If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, try something else.

It is pleasantly peaceful here. The food is very good. I was surprised by the vegetarian fish. I was mixed up going through the main entrance making a right instead of a left. The dining area was to the left. I would say the rating is mostly based on how pleasantly peaceful it is here. It’s definitely a place for anyone vegetarian/vegan to try

My family and I like the food here. It’s refreshing, not too oily or too fattening feeling. If that makes sense! My son likes the vegetarian minced meat with rice. My husband had the dumplings. He likes their tea too. It’s brewed fresh each time. The place is quiet and outside of the temple, it’s spacious enough to take a small walk around. There are many small statues around their yard. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a vegetarian restaurant.

Beautiful vegetarian tea house and restaurant located within the temple. A good spot to try unique vegetarian dishes or simply be in a quiet place. They have rotating specials as well, and freshly brewed teas. Prices are pretty good considering it’s all for the temple and has dietary restrictions. Definitely want to come back and see what other dishes I can try.

Their food options and tea selections are great, always a great place to stop by for vegetarian food. Their herbal tea actually leaves you in a calming mood—we will definitely be back!
