Tea Garden

This would be 1 star if it weren’t for the fact I’m not going to get sick on the food. So for food safety, I give them a bonus star.
Tastes like they reheated the PF Chang’s frozen meals. Spring rolls are unremarkable as is the crab Rangoon. While nothing tastes bad, nothing tastes authentic even from an American-​Chinese stand point. I could make this ish at home. No depth of flavor, veggies are the only thing that taste fresh. General Tsos tastes no different than Sesame Chicken and small, small, small chunks of dark meat.
Sadly Asian cuisine in GR is the worst I’ve had in my lifetime having lived in 4 states including the Bay Area, CA. Even my small hometown in Missouri fairs better. If you aren’t in the mood for sushi then head to Kalamazoo for Hunan Gardens or Joy Fong which have a more dynamic flavor profile.

THE WORLD’S BEST CHINESE FOOD EVER! The kitchen is completely open and you see them making the food. The portions are very generous and good priced. My new favorite place to eat!

Solid Chinese place. Inexpensive lunch specials! Definitely should check it out.
Also, clean and you can see the food being made.

Delicious Chinese takeout: Crab Rangoon is so yummy! If your order is $ 10 or more you can get 3 crab Rangoon free if you pay with cash! I ordered the bang bang chicken :)

Right off the bat, we walked in to 2 young kids running around. It was very cute at first, but a little obnoxious while eating. Overall the food is pretty good, the sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls in particular, but the ambience killed it for us. I would recommend to a friend for takeout but not a great spot to sit down to eat.

I stopped by with a colleague for a quick lunch.
Great portion and quality for the price! I got beef and broccoli and it was great. A bit on the salty side, but fluffy rice with savory sauce was just what I needed. It’s definitely worth a quick stop for lunch!

Excellent sweet and sour shrimp, tender, delicately battered and lightly fried, in nice small bite-​size pieces. My two compatriots both had the shrimp lo mein, and reported it was prepared exactly the way they like it, moist, not oily, cooked evenly. Eggroll also very light and delicate.

You know, for a little strip mall take-​out Chinese place this was all right for my first visit last night as I was feeling like Chinese but didn’t want to do a full sitdown experience at one of the other places. For me, the three stars means this place was doing what it intends to do — — hot food with good flavor at an appropriate price. Nothing fancy it’s a takeout joint with a few tables but not really someplace you’d want to do more than a quick lunch at as the ambience is a fast food equivalent. This place is located in the strip mall right behind culvers on beltline across from the tire place and woodland mall. In terms of food we had orange chicken, chicken lo mein and a chicken with vegetable dish and they threw in crab Rangoon’s and eggrolls for us. I also got the egg drop soup. Total was $ 29.
Soup was fine, all the dishes were hot and relatively flavorful and surprisingly not overly salty. Eggrolls were pretty respectable. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get to this place but when I want quick inexpensive Chinese it’ll be on the list.

The crab rangoons here are amazing! The lunch specials make my day since I work in this area and can get a whole takeout box (that comes with two crab rangoons and rice) for $ 5 and some change. Definitely worth a stop by if you’re on the go and want a quick and yummy meal!
I wouldn’t say that this place is the best Chinese place ever, but it’s definitely good. It’s a hit or miss with the chicken for me. It can have a strange texture at times and I’m not quite sure why.
If you do decide to go around lunch make sure you call ahead or have time to spare, because it gets busy and you’ll have to wait about 15 minutes to get your meal.

This has become our go-​to Chinese take-​out place after trying many places around GR. We’ve been happy with all the dishes we’ve tried. It’s convenient, delicious, fast… wish it was slightly more affordable but all in all, we highly recommend.

I’d actually give this place a 2.5 it’s okay but nothing special. I personally LOVE egg rolls and theirs just don’t hit the spot. Everyone keeps saying the ragoons are great but again just okay. The Lo mein is pretty good. I can leave the garlic shrimp… The fried rice has no veggies in it. But at least it’s not that yellow crap some places try to pass as fried rice. Anyway the lunch special is a great deal and is what keeps us coming back.

This place was so much better under previous ownership. The egg rolls and prices are good. For me, I’ll keep stopping here for the vegetable fried rice but the orange chicken isn’t what it used to be.

After moving around between a lot of different states I have to say this is one of my favorite Chinese places. I have tried several items and have enjoyed all of them. And yes the egg rolls are great. Will certainly go out of my way to go here.

Under «new» ownership for the past year or so, the menu is the same but the food is not nearly as good before. Sadly, we no longer get takeout here.

Regardless how good the food may or may not be, when the cook blow his nose and play with the servers hair over a bucket of rice and then return to cooking without. washing their hands, thana a deal breaker for me

Finally a Chinese place in Grand Rapids that is worth going to. My family ordered three different items and all fantastic. The bang bang chicken is great and the lo mein is the best I’ve had in a long time. We live 2 minutes from 3 other Chinese places but we will drive out of the way for this.

Great food great prices! Also their little boy is so adorable and friendly! Always a great experience and quick service. This is a favorite!

Best take out Chinese in Grand Rapids. Everything made to order using fresh ingredients while infusing a passion for each dish. I also commend the new owners who were family to the previous owners for keeping an authentic and flawless transition. The black pepper chicken is a personal fave but everything is brilliantly prepared. Possibly the best egg rolls I’ve ever had.

Since it opened, tea garden became my number one take out place in GR. I’ve never had a bad meal or experience. Super fresh food with delightful people serving. Their crab Rangoon and egg rolls are awesome. The lunch portions are large and come with Rangoon are only $ 5. Great, great, great place!

Yes! Finally found my go-​to place for Chinese takeout!
I have to admit I’m an appetizer girl and I crave Crab Rangoon like it’s nobody’s business. Finally found a place in Grand Rapids that knows how to make it! Came in last night and everyone was super friendly. Again — just ordered apps, but the crab rangoon was DELICIOUS, egg rolls were great and also ordered the steamed dumplings. Scanned the rest of the menu and has great pricing. Will definitely be back to try the entrees!
