Review: I love this place! I recommend the Chicken Satay as an appetizer. I've tried a few different things here but my favorite is the Pad See Ew with Coconut milk tea on the side. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.

Review: Tea Shaker's food is excellent and after a few visits you will start to feel like family. I tried the Tea Shaker Noodle a few years ago and I was hooked, it's not like any dish I've had anywhere else. I love their coconut milk tea and tater tots! The prices are low and it's casual.
 
Pros: excellent food * good value * friendly staff
Cons: * *

Review: If you have seen the movie Ratatouille, you might remember the Igor, the food critic's expression when he ate the ratatouille prepared by Remy almost at the end of the movie. Basically, the ratatouille reminded him of his childhood.

That is the way I felt when I ate the "chicken" Nuggets from the Tea Shaker! I felt like I was little all over again eating real chicken in a restaurant back in my country. It was crunchy yet moist a little salty but delicious!

The restaurant is cozy and friendly and the food has nothing to envy from other restaurants. To make things even better, each plate was in an average of $5.50!

I will be back and I will bring more omnis with me and I'm sure they will love it as much as I did.

 
Pros: Tasty * Friendly * Cheap
Cons: Salty * *
