    Golden Shrimp Rice Roll (K)
    Paula T.

    I am so happy to know that there's another Chinese restaurant in Elk Grove that serves dim sum. I feel like the quality of food went downhill with Well Season and their prices are increasing with smaller portions. This will be my to go spot for delicious and fast dim sum. Everything I order tasted amazing; even my Chinese grandmother approved. The price is reasonable and portion size is perfect. I went during lunch time on Tuesday and it was pretty packed, so I can't imagine how busy it can get during the weekends. Is it worth the wait? I believe so!

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon. They were super busy. The tables were a tight squeeze. Food was good but limited selection. We do plan to go back for our family CNY dinner.

    It's so funny how Asians talk a lot about when restaurants change ownership. It's no different here. I found out from my Mother on Law that Nathan's ended the beginning of there year and sold to another person. I think the people who own NJoy cafe bought this place. They started serving Dim Sum here. I arrived on a Sunday morning just about 30 minutes after they opened. There were a lot of people already here. Just a key note that when it's cold out the place is cold. The double doors open up to the main dining room. If you have a large group you get to go in the separate dinning area which is warmer since they walled it off. SO they server Dim Sum but the menu in a back and front of a single page menu. They have most of the stuff but not huge. We ordered a decent amount of food to try most of it. We got the : Fried pork dumpling Preserved egg w/ pork porridge - congee or Juk egg trat - Dan Tat Lotus leaf sticky rice Shrimp dumpling - Ha Gao Siu Mai minced shrimp and pork dumpling Cha Siu pao - BBQ pork bao Chicken feet Black bean sauce ribs Every thin was pretty good. The chicken feet were ok and so was the Ha Gao. they either had a bad skin since it stuck to the dish or over cooked it. I really loved the Juk but my wife said they put MSG and that's why I liked the flavor so much. As we sat there more and more people came in to eat so it's doing well as for business. I will be back to try more. The servers were at tentative and friendly. I am not sure if Yelp changes the page when owners change. Plus not sure if the new owners have claimed the page or it's still to the old owners. Who knows heheh

    Big har gow!

    Food is good and asian mom approved. They don't wheel around food on the cart dim sum here. You're given a menu, and you mark what you want. They have a section for dim sum, noodles and soups, rice dishes and more. Typical chinese restaurant foods. They charge for tea but you can bring your own leaves or tea bag and they can bring you a teapot of hot water--which is what my mom did lol My to-go orders are shrimp har gow, shrimp rice roll, chow fun and char siu bao and they're pretty good and tasty. A favorite and must-try are their golden shrimp rice roll. So crispy and delicious with the soy sauce dip they provide. Their soup dumpling is okay, but nothing special. I wanted to try their wonton soup but when my mom was spooning some into her bowl, she found a fruit fly in it, so she requested to it was sent back. The bok choy that was in the soup was bitter, which was another reason why my mom decided was send back. The restaurant is a decent size with a dining room and a separate room that can fit 3-4 tables to the left side. Service is decent. You have to raise your hand to grab the attention of a waitress since they're so busy tending to other tables. We had to wait a while for an order before, to the point that we were done with the other dishes and then it came out. Overall, this place is aight. Decent for the price you pay. There's lots of chinese people eating here so you know the chinese food is authentic. I'd only come here if my mom suggests eating here again. Get the golden shrimp roll!

    A few nights ago, I placed a phone order for pickup. I ordered three items, and they told me it would be ready in 30 minutes. We arrived 45 minutes later, but the person at the front said our food wasn't ready and couldn't give us an estimated time. We waited another 15 minutes before finally taking our order home. Unfortunately, the quality and taste were very disappointing. By the time we ate, we were starving and frustrated with the experience. We've dined at the restaurant many times before and have always enjoyed the dim sum, but it's unlikely we'll order takeout again--it's just not the same without being able to see and taste the food fresh on the spot.

    I've been going to Nathan's since I was conscious and Nathan was still taking orders and greeting people. This place is an Elk Grove gem that delivers on delicious Chinese sit-down food--point at a family special and you're good to go. We revisited it for the first time in years the day after Thanksgiving and managed to land a table! It wasn't too busy, but the tables were definitely filled. Service is still fast (the first dish hit the table within five minutes of ordering) and accommodating--they asked if we needed a baby chair and were totally down to swap the steamed fish in a family special for a fried fish dish. So great, and we really appreciated it. Overall, the food slaps. It's not the best best Chinese food you'll ever have, but it for sure hits and is always a good time. I only say that because there's nothing particularly special about Nathan's that pushes it over the top--but I'm totally fine with that as long as I get my honey walnut prawns, fried garlic pork spare ribs, beef chow fun, and a classic heaping plate of ginger lobster in my belly!

    This review is the for Dim Sum. Have been here a few times since they started serving dim sum and it's just okay. It's an acceptable spot to go to if you are in/near the EG area. But tbh there aren't really any real good dim sum places in EG/Sac. I feel that their menu can be expanded. No rolling dimsum carts, rather you order what you want on a paper menu. Service is usually attentive.

    Came around 11am on a Friday. It wasn't too packed. But around 12;30 people started lining up outside. The food took pretty long to come out after ordering. And the food is just okay. The skin on the chives dumpling was too soft and moist, not crunchy/crispy like it is suppose to. And the porridge didn't have a lot of flavor. But the golden shrimp roll was good due to the crunchy interior.

    Pork and egg congee

    Nathan's has been opened for years, but it is now under new ownership. They are now serving Dim Sum. There were not very many Dim Sum places in Elk Grove, but now there are a few popping up, about four including this one. The menu is limited but offers a lot of the popular dishes. To place an order, you fill out an order form at the table. You give the order form to one of the servers and they put in the order. They brought out the dishes pretty quick. We didn't have to wait long. The steamed items were hot, but the fried dumpling and the egg tarts we ordered were not. They were at room temperature. Everything tasted ok. They weren't bad and they weren't great. The only thing I thought that stood out for me was the steamed BBQ pork buns. They actually had a good flavor, and the bun was soft. Made well. Everything else was mediocre and the quality was not there. The pork fried dumpling skin was a little too thick and there wasn't a lot of filling. The pork and thousand egg congee only had little diced pork pieces. The egg was diced too, but a little bigger. The congee tasted good, but it was disappointing with the amount of pork in it, barely had any. Overall, I will probably not come back for their Dim Sum, unless I hear they have improved. I will probably come back to try their regular menu.

    I believe I may be in the crowd of "after new management" took over. The service from staff has been good though it has been noted that a certain staff member rarely smiles, food almost always come out quick! Tables are always kept clean and refreshed right after customers leave. Dim Sum items are available only the first half of the day and made to order, making it as fresh as it possibly. The normal menu items surprising tasty with a healthy portion provided. The short ribs, fried whole fish, mapo tofu, ginger beef, and especially the fried tofu with shrimp are satisfying indeed. On top of that, portion to price ratio is above average. One thing to be careful is the hot tea. Somehow, the tea in the pot stays boiling hot and can burn your mouth every time you pour it out.

    Longtime staple in the community that my family has been coming to for years. I recently went with them on a recent visit and came during the height of dinner rush--it was busy but we were able to get a table. I ordered the XO Seafood Special and it was delicious. I'd order it again and I am curious to coming during the day for dim sum that is now being served under the management. Oh, I should also mention the chili oil is my favorite and it's a highlight of eating at the restaurant is that there is more of it then when you order to go.

    Nathan's has been around for a while now but recently we heard great things about their dim sum and we had to try it out ourselves. So far we had dim sum twice at Nathan's and both times have been great. They have all the basics and they are all done well. Mostly importantly freshly made and comes out hot. They don't push the carts, you mark what you like on an order sheet. Service is normal, sometimes have to flag them down for what you need. Recommend to all that are in the area that don't want to make the drive to South sac for dim sum.

    Sesame chicken
    Britt O.

    Love the quality of the food. I went for the first time and ordered the sesame chicken. I was surprised to see it was like 95% chicken with a very thin coating of batter. The chicken itself was fresh and tasty. Very satisfying. I didn't order any other sides and the dish only comes with the chicken. Pretty friendly staff. Cool little lobster tank for the kiddos to look at too. The price was ok for the amount of food, and again, you're not paying for mostly batter (which is nice)!

We had family dinner for my aunts birthday and she wanted to try this place out. I heard a rumor that it was the second Restaurant of the original tealicious on Freeport, but they recently sold licious. I personally love Tealicous. They are always so very busy, so don't expect customer service there, just great food. Licious has the exact opposite, great service and okay food. We ordered the following: Szechuan green beans- cooked perfectly with a crunch still. Lacked flavor- not spicy. Fish and tofu clay pot- the fish tasted sweet, oddly. The fried tofu was perfect. Juicy and soft, Beef short ribs skillet- very fatty. You are paying for fat. Maybe it was a bad day. Tiger prawns with pumpkin- it is battered with salted egg, but it's not that salty. I wish it was saltier because I love salted egg. Battered and fried perfectly!!! The Tiger prawns are HUGE!!!!!! I've never eaten such big prawns in my life. The pumpkin was so soft and sweet with the perfect crunch from the salted egg batter. IT JUST NEEDED MORE SALT. Lots of pumpkin! Lobster- lacked flavor and was a very small lobster with not a lot of meat. Salt and pepper fried tofu for appetizer- yummy yummy. Perfect. Whole roasted duck- flavor was perfect, but the skin texture was stale. It wasn't like how it tastes at Tealicious. I don't know why the skin wasn't crunchy. Shrimp and egg chow fun- lacked flavor and too wet. Service was amazing for our two tables total of 18. They kept checking on us and even packed all of our food. There were two servers and only 3 other small tables with ours. The restaurant is quite small and is only for up to I believe 35 people on Theo occupant load signage. I would come back if I craved the Tiger prawns with pumpkin, but nothing else we tried. Maybe I'll try the fried rice next time and do an updated review.

My mom had been here before with a couple of friends and enjoyed it. We were seated quickly, restaurant was moderately busy.

The real star was the orange chicken! It was a mix of dark and white meat, super crispy, and the orange sauce was plentiful with just the right amount of sweetness.

I would say check this establishment out for yourself and try out their items overall to see for yourself.

Maybe the 20th??) of our dear dear friend, Hawaiian Elite TERRY K. coming back to visit with us! THE SETUP Such an incredible restaurant with great seating to support an incredible array of Chinese dishes and beverages! I'm actually in agreement with my friend & fellow Yelper David V. who said, "This place is like a high-quality Panda Express. Is that a good thing? You decide!" And David is right! By that I enthusiastically interpret his opinion as Tea Garden being incredibly ACCESSIBLE to every palette of customer: from those who are just casual Chinese food eaters, to the far FAR more demanding Asian appetites of friends who have much more experience with the wide diversity of Chinese cuisine and know how to ask for it, focusing on seafood, chicken, beef, vegetables, noodes, chilis, spice! PARKING AND "Parking"! It's kind of wild, but I find this more and more to be the case with great ethnic cuisine establishments, that delicious restaurants such as this find themselves in a STRIP MALL. Hey, nothing wrong with that, either! Cheaper rent means cheaper prices on the restaurant food. It ALSO often means tons of free plaza parking as in this case. So much for the car parking, not about where you "park" yer butt! We had a crew of eight (8) and all of us came with the attitude of "Let's try as many dishes as we can!": the large round tables with the large lazy-susans were the best method to make that plan work. If you are only 2-4 people, regular seating at rectangular tables will work just find. THE FOOD! And as I indicated earlier, we had a plethora of dishes: * Delicious broth & veggie soup to start * Crispy Eggrolls with Sweet & Sour Sauce * Crispy Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce * Chinese Chicken Caesar Salad * Fried Rice with Chicken & Shrimp * Broccoli Beef * Chicken Tso Chicken....and.... ...I can't remember what else! There was a LOT, but it becomes a blur after all the chicken and beef and shrimp and eggrolls I was devouring! THE LOWDOWN Suffice it to say, if you come with friends and an appetite, you are going to be soooo satiated! And in addition, I lucked out since half our friends were from the Bay Area and they sent me home with a large (LARGE) share of the leftovers that lasted me the week after that weekend banquet!

    My husband wanted some soup after a dentist visit so we found a place with soup…read more Oh my goodness! What a sweet hidden gem in Elk Grove with a cute simply decorated ambiance. The food was outstanding! We had hot n sour soup, spicy pork dumplings and sesame balls. My husband is still talking about the sesame balls today because they were so good. Their portions are very generous. The soup spoons were a pretty coated ceramic and the silverware was heavy weighted and comfortable, not forgetting to mention they were gold plated. It was like dining at a friend's house instead of a restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly and the three men in the kitchen were working tirelessly. The prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Hidden Dumpling House.

    We've been here a few times and this was one of our go-to Chinese restaurants in Elk Grove. First…read moreoff, the parking lot here sucks at times and we always had a plan B to go somewhere else if we couldn't find parking. The staff here was nice and helpful. The decor was simple and cozy. Their menu has changed a couple of times since we've first been here a few months ago. We ordered a lot of food over the times we've been here from Shrimp Siu Mai to Pork And Cabbage Dumplings to Xiao Long Bao to Beef Noodle Soup to Mongolian Beef to Garlic Eggplant to Chow Fun to Salt And Pepper Tofu to Honey Walnut Shrimp to Spicy Garlic Green Bean to Mapo Tofu to Mixed Vegetables to Black Pepper Beef. The Xiao Long Bao, Pork and Cabbage, Mongolian Beef, Chow Fun, and Mixed Vegetables were all delicious to us. We tried to order something new each time we ate here to try more of the menu. The restaurant can get busy but we haven't been when there's people waiting to come inside to be seated. Overall, I thought this restaurant was good and we'll be back in the future!

Staff is friendly and attentive from the beginning to the end of the meal. We enjoyed a full course meal. Chili oil dumplings were the favorites, Sweet & Sour soup was hearty, Broccoli was crispy and the beef just melted in your mouth. Shrimp and toasted walnuts were a treat. Chow fun was flavorful and we even tried a new appetizer that did not disappoint. This spot is a must try and great for date night, celebrations, family style eating or just to eatvery good food!!

    The food was great and the service was great. Wife and I had the peking duck with pancakes, the…read morehoney garlic sirloin with asparagus and the five color xiao long bao. Definitely the most tastiest duck I've ever had. The skin was crispy and the fat just melted in your mouth. The pancake making process was definitely unique but i would just love the duck on rice with some pepper. The sirloin was tender, moist and medium rare. Great stir fry. The 5 color xlb was a disappointment though. Tasty still but not worth the hype since the dumplings cooled down way to quickly and the taste was not on point. Ambiance wise, very beautiful inside. They had spacious areas for groups, big 4 person tables, and a great outdoor patio area. Definitely a good spot to try and ill come back here for the duck again.
