This place is overrated for tea. The teas are not only overpriced but the staff didn't seem to pay particular attention to brewing, and other nuances in tea or tea service that you would expect a teahouse to emphasize. (If you are looking for this type of service I recommend "Taste" in Hayes Valley.)
Instead, the reviewers must appreciate Om Shan for the communal experience. The majority of the seating surround two large rectangular tables. It reminded me of a co-op or the communal space in a hostel. Not particularly zen, but conducive to conversation.
This is definitely not a place to bring your laptop to get work done. The seats are uncomfortable if you plan on typing on your computer (no back support). But I think that may be the idea.
Extremely chilled out tea house. This is one of those places that has it's own timezone, things move a bit slower here than normal. I blame the ambient music. If you are a chilled out hippy, you would love this place. Unfortunately, not many hippies can afford a 5$ drink.
Not for the burger crowd.
