Tea Garden

I've been sleeping on Tea Garden. As a longtime Olathe resident, I can't believe I am just now discovering Tea Garden! This is the absolute best Chinese food in the area. We first tried the Kung Pao Chicken, which was unbelievably delicious, and we've since enjoyed several other dishes, like the Jalapeno Chicken. Their ingredients seem so fresh, with large, bright vegetables. The portion sizes are perfect, offering you two sizes so you can select whats right for you. The regular size easily serves 2. The combo side is perfect for 1 and comes with 2 crab rangoon.The service is absolutely excellent. There are two main folks that must be the owners or managers - and they are attentive, friendly, and fast working. The dining room itself is older, but it is always impeccably clean. They take good care of their place - which is a great sign of how much care they put into the whole business.5/5, 10/10, this is a new regular dinner spot for us.

We used to love this place but getting takeout tonight was different. I am not sure what changed but the food is not the same and the quality has suffered. The Moo Shu pork was good but the pancakes were thick and stiff and not at all edible. The portions are smaller and the flavor is gone. The service was exceptional and friendly, as we have always experienced. Just want the food back to the way it was!

The run of Tea Garden being my favorite Chinese food restaurant has sadly come to an end. I only eat takeout Chinese food and have been getting Tea Garden delivered for years and was very happy up until the last few months. Something has changed. The food does not taste the same. I can't describe it. Just different. I don't enjoy it anymore. And, the portions have shrunk very noticeably. I need to find a new spot in Johnson county. If you read this & can recommend a great place, send me a message, please!

Food is always exceptional. Everything is hot and fresh. We waited a few minutes for pick up but better because it made sure everything was extra fresh.

******** February Review **********It has been a few months since our last takeout order from here and unfortunately, we will need to find another place to eat Chinese food.Food: 1/10 My husband ordered general Tso's chicken. I ordered chicken fried rice and chicken lo mien. The lo mien was great, but the fried rice was awful. It was burned and there were burned flakes mixed in with the rice. The general Tso's had good flavor, but it was drowning in sauce. This is extremely disappointing because their food used to be solid. The price of the food has also increased, but it is definitely not worth it.Time management: 4/10 I also noticed the last couple of times we ordered takeout, the food was not ready upon our arrival. We have had to wait at least 5-10 minutes. We always order at least 30-45 minutes prior to pickup to give them time to prep the meal, but we still end up waiting.Overall: 4/10 We are good on this place. They have changed how they cook their food and their prices have gone up. This is disappointing because they used to be really good. I hope overtime, they will improve the quality of their food and how they cook it.

Went back last night with friends and had the hot & sour soup as well as the pan fried pork dumplings- both were delicious. Service was terrific. A really solid choice for Chinese food in this neighborhood!

This place has everything to offer. Delicious appetizers and the crab Rangoon? Absolutely bomb. The Hunan chicken is my favorite. The spicy orange chicken is also great. The service is amazing 10/10 and the bubble tea is also a great option. Favorite place when going out for Chinese.

My dine-in lunch experience at this well-established Chinese restaurant was good, with cheerful, polite, efficient service and a tasty meal.The kung pao chicken combo ($9.99) was served with a smile ten minutes after I ordered at the table. The combos were their version of a lunch menu, with smaller (but still generous) portions, white rice and two crab rangoons. I liked that they offered a brown rice option for a charge but surprised to see that fried rice also cost extra. I wish they were more flexible on the combo sides with options for soup or an egg roll.The kung pao chicken had a flavorful sauce with a good amount of heat (spiciness) and a good variety of veggies. The white rice was okay, while the two crab rangoons were filled with plenty of creamy goodness.I found the dining area to be clean and nice with a mix of booths and tables and soothing Oriental background music, while the exterior needed a new awning.Overall, I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up.

This is one of my favorite Chinese places in the area. I've been ordering Tea Garden delivery for years and always thought it was better than others. Food is flavorful, veggies are fresh, and still have a crunch (instead of being cooked to mush). The food is even better when you dine in and it's made to order. I've been a couple times and have never left upset. My favorite dishes are the peppered beef and shrimp or the salt and pepper shrimp. Delicious and highly recommend.
