Review Summary

Ming Tao Xuan is described as having a good selection of authentic Chinese tea and a store with nice decor and artworks. Porcelain tea sets are praised for their beauty, but there is advice to clarify origins since Japanese and Chinese pieces are mixed. Tea is not served on site, there is no seating, and staff may seem unsure how to assist non Chinese customers, leaving some visitors feeling unwelcome. Overall, the staff are friendly and provide good recommendations and the place is considered worth visiting again to purchase, though the experience can vary.View restaurant profile
