This is the little way you leave- dark and dirty.
Heather C.

The smell as you walk in is strange. If you use the restroom, it gets worse as you walk towards the ladies room, which is just outside of the kitchen. It smells fishy and musty. The bathroom hits you with a blast of cinnamon from the basket of potpourri on the pretty sink. The floor is disgusting. It has gross black buildup of grime and nastiness in the grout joints and corners. The old broken heat elements are rusted and disjointed. I ordered an avocado roll and a specialty roll called The Maine Roll with spicy lobster, avocado, cucumber sticks, imitation crab and spicy mayo with the crunchies on top. It was massive! I had to eat it in three to four bites for each piece. All in all good food! Food was good, but atmosphere is where the dings come in- it's dirty. It's uncomfortable because it smells strange. If they did a deep clean that would help a lot!!

Volcano Roll. So good!

So far this has been the best sushi so far in Bangor. Service is a bit lacking. Could be a bit better. The ambiance is that of a Japanese restaurant and strives to take you to Japan. We will be back. From the outside it looks a bit strange.

My family is new to the area and we happened upon this place and decided to give it a try. We were a little confused on where the entrance was but were greeted as soon as we topped the stairs. We asked to sit at one of the private tables (my most favorite part!) and enjoyed being able to have conversation without much interruption. The food came in a timely manner, was beautifully plated, and was absolutely delicious! We will be back!

As a transplant from Southern California to Maine we were desperate to find a good sushi spot. This restaurant is beautiful inside and the sushi is top notch. Every piece of sushi, sashimi and roll I have tried has been delicious (try the mermaid roll!!). We like to order the bento boxes for a good mix of foods. My only wish would be that it would be so expensive to eat here!

Alien fresh spring roll salad.

I'm so bummed! I used to love this place - the ambience was matched by the food - I guess that was a few years ago. Went in tonight, Sunday about 6:30. The place was empty. Someone mentioned the unappetizing smell as you find which door to enter through. I stood at the hostess stand after the door chime sounded and looked at a menu to order takeout. No one came over so I went to "pickup" by the bar and ordered. The first thing I picked from the appetizer menu - the sweet staff person said "oh people don't order that often I can't find it..." and asked another for help. "Ah, we don't serve that anymore." Ok... I ordered miso soup (good), crab Rangoon (good) snd I got the weirdest fresh spring rolls I have ever had. I know in Maine one needs to adjust expectations. But if you look up recipe for fresh rolls, you'd come up with something fresh-roll-like. These were like a diner garden salad in a rice paper wrap. A clump of carrot, cucumber, and iceberg lettuce, plus really slimy white chickenish substance and a mushy spot of avocado. Aaaand cut into small sections so you can't pick any of it up! Truly strange. I got a weird feeling about the seaweed salad and bailed on it - I have a morning flight and am worried about food poisoning. :( not the experience you want after throwing down $30 for a light dinner.

General Tso's Chicken Combo Plate

My sister and I went here to have some quality time last week and the food was great! We loved that they sat us in a booth that had a sliding door, as my sisters 8 month old daughter was sleeping and it made it more quiet and private for us! :) My only downside was I was looking to get the shrimp tempura, and like to dip my tempura in teriyaki sauce. However when I asked if I could get a small cup I was told it was $3 extra! I asked if there was anything that could be done as I wouldn't be needing the sauce that it came with, and she came back saying she spoke to her manager and that there was nothing that could be done. I think it's kind of ridiculous to charge $3 for a small cup of teriyaki, when your appitizer for Tempura was $7.

Salmon special!
Mia C.

I really enjoyed the food here at Green Tea, the inside was beautiful, a lot bigger then I thought. The menu had lots of options, I ordered the Avocado boat and Salmon special. Both were amazing! Would definitely order that again! The food was fast and the waitress was very nice. Perfect sushi date night!

Sashimi deluxe platter- yum!

We came late at night after a very long road trip. Great food - sashimi and rolls. Great service. Priced fair. Highly recommend.

My sushi plate. So good!

My sister and our mother simply love going to Green Tea. Whenever they visit, this is usually where we end up! They have a huge menu and you won't be disappointed with their selections. The service was very nice. I like the private rooms on the right when you first walk on - though I've never been in one, haha!! That would be good for a small group or a family. My sister and I both ordered sushi rolls. Very tasty. We are fans of the milder kinds - like salmon and veggies. It is conveniently located near the mall. If you like alcoholic beverages, they have quite the selection for you (full bar). If you are shopping at the mall, or going to the movies, or simply in the area, check out Green Tea! It isn't fancy or pretentious, just a nice place to have a meal.

Mini udon soup
Kelly L.

Just moved to the area temporarily so on my mission to find some Asian food, I came here. I ordered a mini udon soup that comes with a piece of fried shrimp. The noodles were chewy, soup was nice and warm. It had a slightly acidic taste, but overall pretty good. I also ordered pork katsu set. I comes with two pork katsu cutlets, iceberg lettuce (I wish it was shredded cabbage), a decent amount of tonkatsu sauce and a bowl of rice. All the employees were wearing masks and super nice. It's nice to be out of the big city haha.

Fish is nice and fresh.
David J.

Service was quick and pleasant. Place is clean and elegant and they have small private rooms0 which is a nice touch. I only had one meal and the fish was fresh and tasty and well presented. Made me happy.

Best sushi in Bangor hands down, best I've had in the state. The fish was very fresh and everything was perfectly prepared. When I saw the great deal for their lunch specials I was definitely expecting disappointment but OH BOY was I wrong. I'm from Los Angeles, I have really high standards for sushi and this is comparable to any of my favorite sushi spots back home. You can tell the chefs really know what they're doing because of how perfectly cooked and tender the eel is. The tempura appetizer we had was wonderful as well. A lot of places tend to make it kind of greasy but theirs is wonderfully light and crisp. Our server was attentive and very pleasant, service was great. I don't get on yelp very often but this was the nicest lunch out that I've had in a very long time. Green Tea made my partner's and my anniversary very special and we will definitely be back.

How have I been shopping next door to this place and never once noticed that there was a Chinese…read morerestaurant in front of me? While waiting for a tire repair, my mechanic mentioned Rainbow and that he really liked the pork fried rice. I took a mental note and drove there after the repair as I was starving. I ordered the pork fried rice and a couple of egg rolls. When I went in to pay, I saw them drop the egg rolls in the fryer, a very good sign. I also watched them package up the fried rice. Needless to say, I got in my car and started to eat. The fried rice was steamy and delicious, with a good amount of diced pork and tons of veggies. The egg roll was screaming hot and crispy, with crunchy, tasty filling, and no hint of Chinese five spice, which seems to be a favorite addition of many local Chinese restaurants. There are options for vegetarians, and it was all reasonably priced. I may need to put Rainbow on speed dial.

I chose this restaurant because it had the highest Yelp rating for Chinese restaurants in the area…read more I was very disappointed. I ordered shrimp in lobster sauce, an old favorite in Americanized Chinese restaurants. It was served mixed with the pork-fried rice I chose. The shrimp were OK but the sauce was tasteless and had no hint of the lobster flavor I was craving. The crispy egg roll that accompanied the dish was filled, as far as I could tell, by nothing besides chopped cabbage.
