Excellent authentic food. Sometimes I find Chinese food to have a bitter taste. Not so at this restaurant. Very smooth and a good variety of menu items to choose from. I will keep returning to this one Very quiet place with friendly and engaging hosting.

The Green Tea Garden has been a beloved establishment in our city for decades, standing strong while many others have sadly closed down. It's a reliable place where I can always count on delicious food and welcoming service. When it comes to ordering, my go-to choices are: the paper wrapped chicken, Kung pao beef, cashew chicken, Green Tea Garden chow mien, and the flavorful black mushroom and bamboo shoots. This combination of dishes allows me to enjoy a delightful mix of flavors and textures. Needless to say, I'm already eagerly anticipating my next meal at this wonderful spot. PS If you like art, you have to take a look at their massively impressive woodcut piece it's a gorgeous piece of art.

We've been coming here for decades. The food is always made fresh to order. My favorite dishes are the chicken lo mein and the sizzling rice soup. The water here is the best in town, and there are alcoholic beverages available from the bar next door. The prices are fantastic for how much food you get, we often leave with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The lights are always dim and the music is not too loud, which means it's a good place for those of us that get easily overstimulated. They always take great care of us.

I find this place to be my Chill- out go to! My Apple Martini is made with top notch Alcohols. Cathy is the best! The billiard is a blast with good music and folks from the community. Food is great and everyone is friendly. Stop in and enjoy! I do!

I have been eating here since I was young and I remembered when I went to college in SF, I dreamt about the Sunday buffet at the Tea. Unfortunately due to inflation, the owners have stopped that but it hasn't stopped me. I personally really enjoy the bbq pork, lemon chicken, sizzling rice soup (if dining in), the egg flower soup, and the CHICKEN LO MEIN. I cant tell you how many times I have eaten the chicken lo mein (a lot). When I came home on the holidays, getting that chicken lo mein was the main highlight/goal. They seem to be short staffed due to the pandemic so please be nice! They're trying their best and they aren't getting any younger! This family owned restaurant has been around for 30 years now and I thought it was finally time to write a review 10/10 would recommend (but I would 100/10 recommend the chicken lo mein)

I've been eating at this place since I was young before the Yelp days. I can't believe I never have written a review. Came here to get some dinner, but I'm usually here at the bar getting drinks most of the time. I'm quite a regular here. My favorite thing to order here is the lo mein for sure and the egg rolls! Today I got the chicken lo mein and orange chicken! So good!!!! Their drinks are always good too It's always a good time to come here on the weekends to drink and play pool! Karaoke also!!!
