Nom Wah Tea House
Nam Wah is not a teahouse in the sense of 'going to tea.' It is a Chinese dim sum parlor and my family has been going there for over 5 decades now (my dad discovered it while doing jury duty in the early 1950s). Yes, the decor is old... the bathrooms are tiny. But I find it comforting to see the same huge old tea samovar-type device brewing tea when we go there. Four generations of my family include Nam Wah (which is the correct spelling) in our forays to Chinatown. However, it is NOT the type of teahouse to which this site refers. BTW, if you try going any morning during the work week, you will find it full of Chinatown locals having a dim sum breakfast.
