    mapo tofu
    David V.

    I thought this place was a good bang for my buck. they gave so much food and so much free things! here's what i ordered: orange chicken-- yum! crispy and delicious kung pao chicken-- delicious! but it had more veggies than it did chicken... mapo tofu-- i love how soft the tofu was, but the sauce was ok. needed more flavor. all these entrees came with a choice of white rice or fried rice. soo yummy! they also gave me free egg drop soup too, so kind and great business model!

    Egg drop, hot mustard, and sweet&sour (served prior to meal as it is traditionally supposed to be)

    After an extended trip away from home I looked for open late night restaurants - difficult to do in Denver where most close around 9. I seen this little spot was open late and decided to give it a chance. To my surprise it was precisely what I needed, quiet, relaxed, family-owned, great service, solid 7/10 food quality (depending on dish). Oh! And the water! It's *filtered* This is a big + for me because table water straight from the tap is a definite no go! I will be back, this place is a good local staple mom&pop Chinese food stop

I had the Walnut Shrimp lunch special for $12.95. This came with a choice of soup, I had the Hot & Sour Soup which was quite tasty, It also came with a choice of one egg roll or two crabmeat cheese wontons. I had the egg roll & it was good...nice & crispy. In addition, I chose fried rice, (or you could have steamed). The fried rice was yummy, some of the best I've had. The shrimp were wonderful, crispy battered, big & super flavorful, lots of walnuts, topped with a light sauce, that was sweet & creamy. What a great meal, I'm looking forward to my next Tea Garden visit.

I always get the Mongolian beef with fried rice (no egg; I'm allergic) My husband always gets the General Tso chicken with the fried rice and he ALWAYS orders this and never has a complaint. My son gets the Sesames chicken also with fried rice and it's sweet and crunchy as they fry the chicken to mix in their sauce and it's worth every penny. Every time! Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses!

I enjoyed our meal here and would definitely come back!

The dining room is still closed, they essentially keep the dining room as a storage closet lol.

My wife and I had a hankering the other day for our old stomping grounds, so we jetted over there to pickup an order. It was ready in 10 minutes and two meals ran us $32. I think I pay $32 for a good cup of coffee these days!!!!!! I kid, I kid. The meal lasts you for days, you really get two giant sized portions out of it. It will probably last some of you three days.

I appreciated this since there was no way anything was going to tip over & spill. Very friendly phone & counter service as well. Note, you get six free Cheese Wontons when your order is more than $40. We ordered three different entrees with three different sides - Steamed White Rice, Fried Rice & Lo Mein Noodles. The sides were good, however the fried rice didn't seem fried, it was white rice with soy sauce. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp Entree was tasty - the shrimp were medium sized, cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The Sesame Chicken Entree was even better, the chicken was moist & tender. The beef in the Mongolian Beef Entree was great however there were way too many onions in the dish. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

The entrées then came soon after. Everything was hot steamy and fresh! I really enjoyed my sweet-and-sour chicken and fried rice. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't bad either. It's definitely a good go to place when I wanna sit down with a friend for lunch. The price was great for all the food that we got and my friend couldn't finish her so she even got some leftovers. There's a lot of construction going around Arvada right now and this place was free from construction. I think I would definitely go back just because of the convenience of getting there and parking.

Searching the area, we found a quiet unassuming, in a quiet neighborhood strip mall, simple place. Read the reviews, Hmmm sounds interesting. When entering in an off hour, there were other people filling the tables, "it must be good! With others' here at this time" What I found; Huge portions of lunch time food at a very reasonable cost! The Egg Drop soup was EXCELLENT, The Shrimp, well my Aspen devoured after I had one, it was plump - tender and flavorful. The Veggies, this is MY YUM and PLENTIFUL!! Fried rice - not so fried rather a steamed rice with soy, the egg roll was crisp, smaller than others (seems to be the new fashion these days) filled with wonderful veggies. Did I mention the Egg Drop Soup was DELICIOUS!!!! Our Server required being won over- at first, need to win her over with some compliments, then she smiled and giggled.
