Brew the tea
沏茶A pot of Iron Goddess or aged Pu-erh arrives first. It rinses the palate and sets the pace.
Cantonese · Dim Sum · Tea House
Slow tea.
Small plates.
Long tables.
Lotus House is a Cantonese tea house built around yum cha — the art of drinking tea, sharing baskets, and letting lunch stretch into the afternoon.
The Ritual
Yum cha is a state of mind.
Pick the dim sum
拣点Steamed baskets, fried parcels, and rice rolls pass by on the cart. Point and it is yours.
Linger
叙旧Yum cha is not a meal to rush. It is a long conversation held over many small plates.

The Tea
First, the tea.
No meal at Lotus House begins without a pot of tea on the table. The first cup clears the palate. The second invites the conversation. By the third, you have been at the table for two hours and you have not noticed.
Choose from Iron Goddess Oolong, aged Pu-erh, or Hong Kong milk tea — each paired to what you order, never rushed.
A Hong Kong Kitchen
Four decades under one sign.
The red lantern and the gold letters have hung over the same doorway since 1984. The recipes are the same. The dim sum is still hand-folded each morning. We are still family-run.
