    R2. Orange Chicken Rice Box

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tea Cafe! Every item on the menu is SO. DANG. GOOD. My favorite food is Chinese and this is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Back when Tea Cafe was located off Alameda, I used to go there at least 5 times a month when I was in High School and college. For my group of friends, Tea Cafe was our spot like the Central Perk Coffee Shop on Friends. Once I even ate here 3 times in one day. I can never get enough. There are several things I don't like about the restaurant especially now that's it's on campus. Nevertheless, the delicious taste of nostalgia outweighs the cons by far. I Instantly get hungry every time I think about Tea Cafe.

    Another great experience here. I grabbed the food to go. It was the Friday before a game so parking sucked. I placed my order online and was able to run in really quick and grab my food. This meal is like my favorite I have consistently gotten it the last few times I've been to cafe.

    We were at a table prior to the OU v. Temple football game -- the first game of the 2024 season -- when Rita came to our table carrying an OU baseball cap.. She got my husband's attention and said: "You left this in a booth last season, so I saved it for you, because I knew you'd be back this year." What?!! I can't believe she remembered him and saved his hat! Mark said: "I remembered that I lost my hat, but I didn't know where!" Not only do they have great Asian food, but their kindness is great, too!"

    wonderful spot if you're in the mood for good food very quiet and simple establishment with easy order kiosks

    Tea Cafe is a staple of Norman dining but, I personally think it is over hyped. I have eaten here many times and have never been impressed. The interior and food are both underwhelming. I would not go so far to say the food is bad but, there are many better Asian restaurants in the area that blow Tea Cafe out of the water. The ramen is average and the noodle dishes are too greasy. The boba is exceptional and worth trying however, I would skip having a meal here.

    The drinks are still good but the food and the customer service have fallen off. The pad Thai here used to be my favorite but now it just tastes like over cooked Kraft Mac& cheese with some sugar and peanut butter in it. It was literally too sweet to eat. I used my last few dollars to buy myself another soup so I could get some more food to fill me up and I complained about my food and they didn't even offer to at least give me the soup on the house which was honestly too salty too.

    Seriously my favorite lunch spot. Their spicy shrimp fried rice is my absolute favorite !!!

    I don't care what anyone else thinks, Tea Cafe is so good and hits the spot for me each time I eat here. I remember that I always went here for lunch my freshman year in college and I never got tired of it. Here are a few things I get: Japanese Fried Tofu: order this and ask them to cut it into small pieces. It is fried just right and it taste well with the sauce. I also love the crunchy things that come with it. Rice box: you can pick any entree and it comes with either brown or white rice, fried cheese wonton or stew eggs, cabbage, eggroll, and the soup of the day. I like to eat brown rice and fried cheese wonton. The cabbage is really good, probably because it is cooked with garlic (YUM). I sometimes order extra of it. The eggroll is good and I like to dip that in the sweet and sour sauce you get with the rice box. For the soup of the day, you either get egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup is by far my favorite and I cannot find any other replica of it. Hands down the best hot and sour soup IMO. The egg drop soup is okay. It taste like how egg drop soup should taste like Teriyaki tofu rice box: the tofu is somewhat cooked/fried (it's not the pure white tofu form) and the teriyaki sauce goes so well with the tofu. Kung pao chicken rice box: this is a spicier dish and is really good. I think it is crispy enough for me but sometimes you can order it to make it more crispy. This especially taste really good with brown rice. For me, the kick of it is just right. Tofu (or chicken) fried rice: their fried rice has a unique taste for me that I keep wanting to eat it nonstop. I can't quite explain it but I crave another bite after eating one bite. Their fried rice is a popular dish, so try it out. Beef (or tofu) flat noodles: this dish is pretty good as well but I don't order this often because I crave everything else above. This doesn't quite taste like your typical Chinese flat noodles but Tea Cafe brings out a different unique taste in it that makes it good. Shrimp scrambled eggs: this is made right. It's not undercooked and it's not over cooked. It is made right because it retain the "wateryness" of this dish that makes it really good to eat with white (or brown) rice. The sauce on it is really good as well! HB 1 Sauce (I think that's what it's called): if you want something light, this is the dish to get. It is majority vegetable dish and is very light. If you eat more on the saltier side, this dish may not be for you because the taste is more bland. I use to get the chocolate milk tea (sometime slush) with boba here. It was really good because it actually taste like chocolate and not so much tea. I've recently switched over to Almond milk tea (green tea) with boba because the taste is really good and addicting. I haven't had the same taste anywhere else. Green tea - this is a very light tea; however you can still taste the green tea in it. I've only had this once, so I'll have to try it again! I definitely would suggest to try out this place.

    For quick and tasty food, it's my choice. You can choose from a variety of items. Plus, their Booba tea is awesome.

With that being said, the service is a bit slow so do plan on a wait if you are stopping by. Our go to order is the soy garlic wings, the tofu soup, and some rice! The soy garlic wings are crispy and soo good, but at our last visit, I did notice that the wings are a lot smaller than they used to be. The tofu soup is still as delicious as I remember, and we also tried the potato soup which I was pleasantly surprised by! We also tried to the bibimbap for the first time, and it was also very flavorful. My only note for the food here, is that they are a bit stingy on the quantity for the price. I found the portion of our bibimbap sauce to be very little, and they charge extra for more banchan versus the usual free refill in a Korean restaurant. I still love coming, and the staff is sweet

The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Here's what we ordered: Tom Yum Soup Spring Rolls General Chicken Chicken Fried Rice Pad Thai with Chicken (one regular, one spice level 3) Everything had great flavor, and the portions were generous. The General Chicken and soup were standout favorites. The only small critique? The Pad Thai noodles were a bit on the mushy side -- something we saw mentioned in other reviews. But honestly, the flavor made up for it, and we'd still order it again. It's always nice to support a local spot that's been part of Norman for over 20 years. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The house curry was the worst curry I've ever had. I honestly think the cook messed it up and or gave me the wrong order. I did not taste any curry at all.

I should have just got that instead. Checking it out on my way out, it didn't look very impressive, but I'm positive that it could not possibly have been as bad as the curry they sold me.
