Green Tea Garden Chinese Restaurant

I have been wanting some Chinese food for weeks now but I just ended up doing other places so today my lunch was going to be Chinese food.As in a lot of my reviews I comment on empty Asian places and this was one of them again where I'm the only one in the place so it's take out because I just don't like eating in an empty restaurant. The restaurant has the Asian red theme going and a nice little bar to sit at while you wait for take out.The menu has no combination plates except the lunch specials and I was too late for that. As I looked over the menu with nothing in mind I thought the pork egg fu young really sounds good so that's what I got.The pork egg fu Young was three patties in a thick brown gravy with white rice. The pork egg fu young had plenty of pork, pork in every bite which I liked and nice size patties. The thick brown gravy was ok and worked well on the pork egg fu young which hit the spot.I thought the pork egg fu Young was better than average and generous in size and the amount of pork so I would definitely stop back and try more of the menu.

I needed dinner somewhere near Franklin Field before a Milwaukee Milkmen game (if you haven't been to one yet, what are you waiting for?) and Green Tea Garden Chinese fit the bill. My order consisted of chicken wor mein and two meat egg rolls.The egg rolls were very good. Clearly homemade and with large chunks of pork and chicken. I'd definitely get these again.The menu said the wor mein was like lo mein "but in a light sauce". Since they compared it to lo mein, I assumed that meant something similar to your typical, run of the mill lo mein that the vast majority of Chinese restaurants serve. Instead, it had a gravy like sauce rather than one soy based. The pieces of chicken and veggies were huge, but the chicken was unseasoned and not marinated, so just plain chicken. I don't like water chestnuts or mushrooms either, let alone in my lo mein. I could see the wor mein appealing to some, but I wasn't a fan and ended up not eating most of the large container.I tried to go inside to order, but I was met with a locked door. Apparently, due to "staffing issues", they only accept call in or online orders and do curbside pickup. One of the employees was nice enough to come out and take my order, but I had to wait in my car and drive up for it when it was ready. Certainly not the most convenient process and I don't understand how standing around in a lobby is so hard with staffing issues if they don't need to wait on you at a table. You'd think it would be more helpful if they don't have to constantly run food outside. Whatever.

Wonderful restaurant with kind owners & fabulous food! Fresh, hot food with substantial portions. I'll be sure to take pics of my next order!

An average Chinese place. Overall the portion sizes are huge!Egg rolls are not too exciting flavor wise but ok. I like the egg foo young here.The meat quality is really poor, in my opinion. I only like fresh meat that's trimmed right. It's pretty unpalatable to me and I ended up picking a bunch of it out of my meal. The pad Thai is not my particular style, too sweet for me. Also the noodles were thick instead of thin, as they are with traditional pad Thai, that confused me a bit. Why in the world they dump iceberg lettuce all over the plates makes zero sense. How is that Chinese? For garnish, something way more colorful could be used. It gets in the way of the food, too. The staff is very sweet though and the place often has plenty of available seating! Maybe that's a bad thing...

Its been awhile since i have eaten here, but seeing the low ratings i felt the need to speak up.If you like high quality, homemade asian food, this is the place for you. If you like the mass produced low quality food from the #1 Chinese Restaurants, you may not appriciate finer restaurants like this.Pad Thai is to die for. I dream of it and wake up drooling. Pot stickers are huge, crunchy, and full of great meaty filling. The sauce that accompanies it somehow makes them even better. I do take one star off as i do not like very spicy food. They seem to have a hard time accomodating my mild requests; sometimes after a few bites im sweating and my mouth is on fire! Yet i cant stop eating because it is still so delicious.

Great family restaurant, support our local small business. Portions are good and tasty. The backbone of America.

We really enjoyed the food. We had the sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef, and pork fried rice. The dining room is not open at this time due to staffing shortage.

This is our favorite place for Chinese food-consistent experience and food every time. No dine-in - just pick-up. Most times our order is ready in 10-15 minutes! The egg foo young consists of 3 large and delicious patties in gravy. The fried rice is tasty and plentiful. We treat ourselves to egg rolls once in a while too--nice and crunchy, large and flavorful. And we definitely get multiple meals out of our order. We have also received friendly service as well.

The food is always delicious! Very flavorful. Very tasty. Generous portion sizes. By far the best Chinese food around. Consistent quality, actually very high quality. Fried beef tenderloin is out of this world. Same goes for chicken and broccoli. The fried rice is amazing. I have tried Chinese in a lot of so-called best restaurants and none of them have even came close to Green Tea!

Negative stars would be the best option for this "business". We brought our takeout meal home, and one of our main dishes was the General Tso chicken. Asked for the the spice to be medium (mild is low heat & hot is the spiciest). Our family literally got instantly nauseous and suffered from burns in their mouths and throats. After we got our physical barings, (over chicken hotness!), we called the restaurant and explained what we experienced. The female manager was defensive, invalidating and Sid she didn't care if we don't come back. Asked for even just a refund for the one entree (not the whole order) and she was adamant that she wouldn't ever return payment for any reason. We are loyal and conscious consumers who love to support small local businesses but we do plan on continuing this concern and complaint to ensure other families are not harmed or disrespected. Spread the word!!!
