My Review by harley011 on 10/1/2012 via Citysearch
Going down hill fast! Worst service. The staff was busy complaining and talking to each other. Food on the lunch buffet was cold. Most of the entrees were gone or very little remaining. We won't be back!

Worst Service by Sam Abu on 12/22/2011 via Citysearch
My sister has been going there for ten years and I?ve been going there for 6 years at least three to four times a month. Food has been getting worst, as it?s become commercialized, the taste has become very inconsistent, one time you go…

Pleasant Dining Experience by LikesAsianFood on 4/2/2011 via Citysearch
Dined last evening at the Tea House. We hadn't been there for years and before it had changed ownership. There were two menus, one which was more American-Chinese and the other Szechuan. We ordered from the Szechuan and had the family…

I won't go back by Plymouthlady on 9/25/2010 via Citysearch
So disappointed! I have been here a few other times and enjoyed the food however; last night (Friday) the food was the worst food I have ever paid for. I ordered shrimp egg foo young which is one of my favorites, it came looking and…

Never again by Wayzata Guy on 8/9/2010 via Citysearch
This was my first visit. Ater I ordered and paid, the host told the manager that one of the tables had waited twenty minutes without beverage or waiter. Ten minuests later, the diner and family complained and left. The owner was…

Authentic Chinese by Buplup on 4/24/2010 via Citysearch
When I entered I thought it was going to be horrible. I've been to China so its hard to please me. I had just been coming from a movie and i thought i'd try it out. I was seated by a kind server who helped on what to order. I decided to…

The real deal by bill hudson on 12/7/2009 via Citysearch
My wife and I came in on a Monday night at 6pm and were seated quickly and without much hassle. The wait staff were all very friendly and very attentive. Based on previous posts we ordered the juicy buns(a must) which was as good as what…

Best Chinese Food Around! by KassyJo on 1/8/2009 via Citysearch
I can't count the number of times I've been to Tea House, but their food has become a staple in my diet. :) I haven't met a meal there that I haven't liked. The Kung-Pao Chicken and Garlic Egg Plant is to die for. Yolanda (the owner) is…

Food is so Close! by g039260 on 5/1/2008 via Citysearch
The tea house was my favorite spot in Twin Cities for Chinese. They are very, very close to good authentic food. I've heard that in the past they were better but the chef left. That may be some of the reason why the food has gone down. …

Pretty decent lunch time buffet by John S on 1/8/2008 via Insider Pages
The Tea House, situated in a tiny strip mall offers a pretty decent lunch time buffet. Average cost and if you can make an afternoon of it, eat lunch hear and walk across the parking lot to see a first rate movie.

Cold, Mundane buffet by foodfab on 12/27/2007 via Citysearch
12-27-07\r Although I had never been to the Tea House before, I had read many good reviews. I arrived at about noon, the place was busy and I found a buffet right at the front door. I thought that the buffet would be a good way to sample…

Tea House has my Vote! by avgchef on 10/11/2007 via Citysearch
I eat at a lot of asian restaurants, and I've never been to one that has left me feeling how Tea House did.\r I wanted to come back every day!\r I don't know where to start! How about the vast amount of dishes, the authenticity of the…

Fantastic by dtfamily on 10/7/2007 via Citysearch
Best Chinese food I have eaten in YEARS! Best Chinese food I have eaten in the Cities! Service was fantastic, prices were good. Highly recommend. This is my first review, so it must have been good to make it worth my effort to write a…

Tea House is superb by weiver on 7/28/2007 via Citysearch
Authentic Chinese food, a rarity in the twin cities is delivered every day by some of the nicest wait staff anywhere. Chung King chicken is spicy hot and crisp. The boiled fish mind bending in its moistness and heat, think the Chinese…

authentic southern china food. Bad service by pob on 3/7/2007 via Citysearch
Very good food if you like hot and spicy food. It is as authentic as you can get in twin cities. service needs to be vastly improved.

drastic turn downhill by jfscity on 11/14/2006 via Citysearch
Previously I've had some great food here -- the traditional menu was always tasty. They must have gotten some really bad chefs recently, since nothing has any flavor now. A month ago my wife ordered five-spice shrimp. They seemed to forget…

Top notch and authentic by Stephanie D on 9/5/2006 via Insider Pages
Located in a tiny strip mall near a movie theater and a number of apartment complexes. Plenty of parking. The place is beautifully designed inside.... very elegant for a Chinese restaurant. The food is great, and the prices are decent for…

Best in the Cities! by tashaleddy on 8/8/2006 via Citysearch
I moved here from Chicago and this is, hands down, the best Chinese food in the cities! Fresh, spicy and authentic. Order off the authenic menu, even at lunch! I have never had a problem with service but I do typically take out - we had a…

It is all about service by riverrun25 on 5/24/2006 via Citysearch
I agree with what most reviewers say about the food - it is really good and spicy. I will not contest that since we are regulars here. I only wish their service was better. They take forever and more on busy nights. Of course, last night…

Spicy, Delcious Chinese - Best in the Twin Cities by behm0027 on 5/11/2006 via Citysearch
First, make sure you ask for the "authentic" menu. Otherwise you might as well stop at your local Chinese restaurant on the corner. Then sit back and enjoy some unbelievable, relatively authentic dishes. The cocunut breaded shrimp with…
