T & T Ginseng

I came in looking for a rare root in capsule form. The guy behind the counter looked tirelessly for me. I appreciate his wonderful concern and care to find me what I needed. He had me write down the different names in English and he took a good 30minutes trying his best, even while being bombarded by other customers. He ended up finding the root in its pure form and although that isn’t exactly what I was looking for I give an A+ for amazing customer service. And unlike another reviewer I didn’t feel judged or mistreated just because I’m not Asian, I’m sure that has more to do with the reviewer’s own insecurities than the actual events. I highly recommend this place!

I love the products, however I hate being treated so rudely. If they don’t want Caucasian business they should just post it on the door. Still a great place to buy tea.

This is the greatest store for healthy vit’s, and teas. I do all my shopping here for the vit’s, and teas, etc

I came in looking for Chinese herbs but they did not have exactly what I was looking for.
We got some ginseng tea that was amazing as well as jasmine pearl tea.
The ginseng tea was so earthy and flavorful. We are definitely going back for the fresh full leaf teas.
They are right next to District One Kitchen which is great for lunch or dinner.

The moment I walk into the store the owner watch me like I am going to steal something. When I ready to check out, he accusing me open the package. In fact the package already open and by the way I am buying it so what is ether problem? I should just walk out without gave this old man business.

Love the fact that they herbs and pills for all kinds of sickness. Growing up in Singapore, we used to depend on Singsehs. Love those traditional herbs. I am glad it’s here in VEGAS.

I’ve been coming here for several years and can find many choices of Asian teas (middle brow, yet respectable), different varieties of ginseng, topical analgesics, supplemental herbs and medicinal spices (used as a soup base). Though I wouldn’t call myself an expert on Oriental Medicine, this is a one-​stop shop.
If one goes to an acupuncturist (i.e. OMD) they fill the «herbal script» just like any other pharmacy. That’s pretty awesome. The staff was very helpful in explaining the instructions and purpose of the treatment. Despite the language barrier, we both met each other halfway.
The location’s not too far from the Strip and The Palms in case you are visiting from elsewhere.

Holy wall of Tea, Batman!
I bookmarked this place after reading Nelson Q’s review… I LOVE tea. One might say I am a tea junkie, in fact.
Saturday, on our way to look for some seafood, my fella pulls in and parks next to this store! I was so happy. «I have this bookmarked on Unilocal!»
Mr. Smarty Pants says «I know, that’s why we’re here!» (I love my fella. I do.)
So we walk in, and I am just overwhelmed. SO MUCH TEA!
Lots of other things, too, roots, etc, but I had a one track mind.
There is a huge selection of different teas, green, black, herbal, diet, etc.
I didn’t pick anything up this time, but I have plans to go back soon, to see if they can mix something up for me to help with some of the chronic abdominal pain I have.
I’m also going to pick up a million boxes of tea while I’m there. :)

I come here pretty much for their tea selections, Especially when cold and flu season hit, you definitely want to have their Cold & Flu Tea on hand. Right when you begin to feel that scratchy throat, that’s the time to start pounding a few cups with honey and lemon.
T&T also carries some snacks, and other items for aches, pains, and even beauty, but it is upfront where the medicine man is that he’ll concoct a combination of ingredients from the jars and drawers of herbs, roots, and other stuff they have been using for ages to cure whatever ailment you may have.
It’s a plus if you are fluent in Chinese, and don’t expect service with a smile here. Just get in, get out, and get on with your life. ALOHA!!!

If you’re in the mood for sea cucumber, a concoction of tea made out of ginseng and some unknown substance, along with dried mushrooms and plums, this is your place. They have everything you’re looking for when you live outside of Asia and need a hard to find ingredient. From sharks fins to fungus, they have what you need.

Great shop Chinese herbs, etc. They have dried abalone and will slice it for you. Abalone is expensive, but worth it.
Owner is very helpful and answered all of our questions. Will be back!

I’ve been here several times when I’m in Las Vegas… I mostly come here, because my mom & dad like some of the herbs that this store sells.
This store is your typical basic «eastern alternative medicine store»…herbs they sell here are no different than any other eastern medicine stores. Herbs which Asian people have been using for 100’s of years…
One of the items that my dad likes to buy is the pre-​made «herbal soup mix». He likes it because all the ingredients are already mixed into one bag, so he doesn’t have to look for all the items separately to make the soup. Real cheap, and very easy to use too…
Another item he likes to get is the medicinal plaster, & oils to use for his sometimes sore back.
The staff mostly speak Vietnamese & Chinese… not the friendliest, but hey… what do you expect from «FOB» people… Lol!!! We don’t come here for customer service, we just come here for the great deals!
I was quite surprised at how many different ethnicity of people who come here… it’s not just for Asians!

I stopped here for some green tea and the employee kept looking at me like I was going to steal something. I asked for assistance and she spoke to me in her language. WOW. Lesson learned, I will stick with my normal places. Rude Rude Rude. I will not be back.

My grandpa showed me this place, he used to come here for medicines and ginseng in the little bottles you drink. I like how they have literally a hundred different teas. Sometimes i buy weird stuff that I have no idea what it is. They have a ton of stuff for sore muscles, sore throats, sore stomachs. I trust these forms of cures far more then drugs from the RX. These guys have dried shark fin. cuddle fish, shrimps. I cannot read half of the boxes in this place, because they are in Chinese, but I still go and do the best that I can. I can only imagine how many cool things im missing out on because I do not know what the box says.

I take my mom here to pick up herbs and medicine for my grandpa. This place is like any other Chinese herbal medicine shop. There is one older gentleman that works here who needs to take a class on customer service…

What ails you? Do you have a stomachache? Herbal medicines could be an option for that. For centuries, the eastern world has turned to natural remedies to cure all forms of sickness. If you are a naturalist looking to find Asian style medicine than this is the place for you.
T &T carries the commonly used barks, twigs, roots, and leaves. I tend to come here with my mom when we are looking for items to make a medicinal chicken soup. Yes, medicinal is not a common adjective for tasty, but it is both healthy and delicious. Looking around there are many different items spanning the various Asian countries they come from. Constipation? Fixed with a tea. Impudent? Fixed with some herbs. Aching? No problem, there are patches for that. The chili ones are great to relieve that extra tension in the back. For added aid, heat them over a fire and quickly place onto the aching surface for extra soothing benefits.
The prices of some items are crazy, but they do carry a large selection year round. I love me some moon cakes and they do have stacks of them around even when it is not the season.
The workers speak Chinese and Vietnamese. Not sure about the English, but they seemed well rounded.

This is an interesting place — a bit of a foreign experience for me. The place is moderately-​sized and seems to attract health-​conscious people looking for alternative cures, and other little things. There are lots of interesting items to look at, like individual bags of herbal remedies, boxes of incense, barrels of ginseng, and more. I almost bought a herbal tea mixture but was turned off by the dried up roach carcasses that made up part of the recipe (so glad I looked first). I’d definitely come back here out of curiosity, but I will not be buying any dead bugs.
