Pretty good Chinese food. Stop here with my daughter and grandsons once in awhile. Like the sweet lady who owns the business. Like the chop suey and wor won ton soup. read more

Lots of choices, quick service, food taste and quality not bad, price point could use some improvement, I do recommend though.

It was a Friday night. Thinking they closed at nine, I went to dollar tree first. I pulled in to the restaurant at 8:02 PM, and the gentleman, I assume the owner, told me that they had closed at eight. However, he said, come in, and he would make my food for me. Thinking it was something simple, I ordered the house special chow fun, not realizing that I was ordering something with three proteins. Still, he was very nice, and said no problem at all. It had the chow fun noodles, chicken, beef, and shrimp, and some veggies. My order came out quick, and I was on my way. The food was very good. Even after a generous tip for him going out of his way, the price was very reasonable. Plus, I had enough for two full meals. Thank you very much, I will be back. read more

The food is consistently great. Fresh ingredients, made to order, and delicious! I've never had a bad thing. The service is quick and friendly. Favorite Chinese restaurant in Humboldt! read more

Read positive reviews about the orange chicken but I found it to be overly breaded with a thickness that was not appealing to me. The broccoli beef, however, was really tasty, with a good proportion of beef:broccoli. The fried rice was pretty good - not overly oily as I have found some to be. The chicken chow mein had a little of very nice fresh vegetables; I didn't find the dish to be particularly flavorful, however. Soy sauce helped bring it to life. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Ordered by phone in advanced for pick up to-go. When we got back home the chow mein had atleast 85% oily onions, cabbage and veggies and only a few burnt noodles with chicken. I asked for light veggies. The chicken fried rice was burned fried rice, it looked and tasted burnt. I was sad to have had this experience as this spot came recommended. We will not be returning. read more

A couple of us had lunch on Thursday. Overall the food was very salty and greasy. The saving grace was the hot and sour soup. The soup was excellent. Otherwise too much salt and MSG. I was bloated the next day from all of the water retention form the excess salt. read more

Classic cafe ambiance, clean and welcoming. Initial service was a bit slow. Had a late lunch but was able to order plate lunches. Once ordered, served food fast and hot. Wonton soup looked boring but tasted Very Good. Good on our budget. read more

In the past the food was delicious. Last Thursday I ordered Chinese Chicken Salad to go. It was only chicken and lettuce with a little bit of dressing. No napkins or a fork. I had to go back in to request these and was given ONE napkin and a fork. The customer service I was given was with an annoyed attitude. read more

We were the only ones there. Lunch menu is really good, but need to add chow mein to the plates. Food is awesome n the waitress n the bus boy were nice too. read more

Awful food. Overbreaded. Small serving. No seasonings. One bite of each item ordered was more than enough to realize what a mistake I had made by ordering there. Save tour money, your time and your stomach. Awful! read more

if I could give this place a minus zero I would! I bit into a piece of glass and it made my tongue bleed. I called and told them what happened and the worker or owner said that she didn't believe me. I'm so glad that I was the one who ate the glass because I was going to serve it to children. Then she told me to bring it back which I had no problem with but I'm just so flabbergasted that she pretty much called me a liar. Bad form Tea Garden! never going back! read more

This shit was nasty. I don't think I have ever had orange chicken battered like that. It was flavorless as hell and that sauce was okay. That fried rice was burnt.. overall -100 just terrible read more

Although the prices were fair, the food was not to par. I got the veggie chow mein and it barely tasted like anything. It had that yummy smell first and then I took my first bite and was disappointed. It had a heavy onion taste and that's about it. I also got the fried rice with pork and the mar far chicken and both were just as bland. With our combo was a wonton soup that tasted like lightly salted water and the wontons themselves just tasted like the beef within it. The saving grace was the crab fried wontons. Those were pretty decently flavored and that's about the only thing I would buy again from this place. read more

Ordered take out and was extremely disappointed. Overpriced and low quality. The Chicken Chow Mein was 95% onion and cabbage with a few noodles and a couple small pieces of chicken. The batter used for the szechuan beef and sweet n sour pork was soft and chewy and everything tasted like old rancid cooking oil. The sweet n sour sauce had no flavor. I should of taken it back and asked for a refund read more

Food was not goos. Ordered chicken and broccoli. Instead I got a soup. So much soy sauce or whatever the put in the food. I was able to pour into a bowl. Very bad food. Would never go back and never recommend. Plus, waitress always seemed anything asked to her was inconvenient. read more

I decided to give the place a try as I had been curious about it for a while. I went during lunch to check out the specials. As expected, there were several different combinations available. I settled on the less-adventurous choice of orange chicken, fried rice and fried wonton. The place was fairly quiet (though not dead) during the lunch hour. I was told to choose my seat, and the tables and upholstery were reasonably clean. Service was fine. Nobody really checked on me from when the food arrived until the point when I got the check. The food was decent. I chose wonton soup as an appetizer. It arrived in a glorified teacup with two wonton, which I thought was a bit skimpy. The broth was pretty bland. The orange chicken had a lighter color (more golden than brown) and consistency than I'm used to. I did like the fact that it appeared to be healthier white meat as opposed to the traditional (but to be fair, generally more flavorful) dark meat. The wonton were fried well though there was minimal filling. The rice was unremarkable. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication where I had requested more hot peppers in my chicken, but ended up with a lot of diced green bell pepper added to the chicken. Oh well. Additionally, when I requested garlic chili sauce, it was brought out in a small bowl similar to a teacup without any lid. The bowl was cold so it had probably been sitting in a fridge. In the sauce I saw several bits of rice, which indicated that the spoon had probably been in contact with someone else's food and dipped back into the sauce where it stayed for an undetermined amount of time until it found its way to me. I may return at some point but nothing about my initial visit inspired me to return any time soon. read more

Always good food and the owners, Sonny and Linda, are great people. My favorite is Chow Mein Chinese style with the pan fried noodles. Love that but all their food is good. I have never ben disappointed with their food and have been eating there for years. read more

Super clean, and the food was fantastic. Best Chinese food in Humboldt County I've ever had. DEFINITELY coming back :)

They forget food items consistently. Very expensive for sub par food. Poor customer service.

This is the wish.com of Chinese food, but priced at full inflated retail. The staff was very nice, but the food was low quality. We ordered the Family Dinner #2. read more

My friend and I were starving in Myrtletown waiting for my car to get fixed and had passed this place prior to going to the mechanic so on our way back we decided to try it out! It's a small business obviously family owned, decor is meh it's not somewhere you'd go for the atmosphere--to be fair we were there to EAT haha. Anyway we were looking at the menu and realized we were just in time for their lunch special! The highest prices on those was 7.99! And this includes either a soup or salad. I ordered the Orange Chicken special which came with fried rice, orange chicken, fried wontons and my friend got the Tofu and Veggies Stir Fry special which came with Wontons and steamed rice--we also ordered a side of vegetable chow mein (MMMM!!!). Their orange sauce was soo good I could totally taste the orange-ness, like they use fresh oranges in their sauce, their fried rice was also really good. And the wontons were good, fried but crispy not soggy or too greasy. The vegetable chow mein was absolutely delicious and they're very generous with their veggies and portion size overall. My total was 8 dollars and some change I was really surpised! I did leave a well-deserved tip for the kind lady. I will be going back very soon to try their other specials! They have a lot of combinations! :D read more

This restaurant has been our favorite for years. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Excellent to dine in or take out.

Their wonton soup is great, big meaty wontons with a fresh and ginger flavored broth. Their chow mein, however, was mostly chopped vegetables (celery, carrots & onion) and crispy noodles in sauce. Their fried food items (sweet & sours, fish, fries, etc.) is always on point. Great prices and variety. It's hit and miss but mostly good. Will definitely be back. read more

I went here today and ordered a tsunami. It was very sweet and very good. The place was clean and cute . The owner was extremely nice. I plan to feature him on my photo app/blog. A great place to go,in a nicer section of town. read more

Their orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and chow mein are really good. This is a great place.

They are so sweet here, and the food is amazing! I always stop by if I'm on this side of town! I usually get their orange chicken and I never regret it!! Fast, nice, quiet, a great place to eat! read more

After Liu's restaurant went under, this became our go-to local Chinese restaurant. Until the Covid 19 pandemic, which forced them to go takeout only. They reopened dining in recently, and it's not the same as before. Service has become hit or miss, with overtones of anger and hostility along with a subtle dollop of poor, poor pitiful me. The portions are lots smaller, and the food itself has deteriorated in quality and tastiness. Kind of sad to see the effects of the pandemic on a business that was thriving. read more

Nice quiet place to eat. Food is decent. Mu Shu Pork is a favorite for me. Would like it if the brought back the Bao (BBQ Pork Steamed Bun) Customer service is always good. Side note: Why are all these reviews for Kool Beanz, the coffee place NEXT DOOR to Tea Garden, on the Tea Garden Yelp page? They are NOT the same business. Just because the address pops up the same does not make them the same. If there is a business on Yelp that one wants to review, that does not already have a Yelp listing, one can add it! read more

The only Chinese food place that has not been shut down due to health issues in Eureka for years now that should say enough

Well, this was my 3rd time there and probably the last. I wanted to give my comments in hope that they would improve. the table was not properly cleaned and was sticky. I only got 1 napkin and need 3 i got one fork and needed a spoon and knife to cut the pork appetizer. I got my beer and she poured only half into the glass(?) my shoes were sticking to the floor I ordered the Coconut Shrimp which was bland and came with french fries that were good. ( $12) the BBQ pork was like something already made up and the fake red dye around the edges not good for me to see. not tasty the server never came back to see if I needed water or something else. the Chicken Fried rice lacked veggies and no flavor. all cost about $33 -not good. I dont think they will be seeing me anytime soon. read more

This is by far the worst Chinese food I've ever tasted in my life! Coming from LA to the central valley and now Humboldt. The food gets more bland as I go north. This is my 2nd time trying this food, thank God I didn't have to pay a cent either time, because it was ordered by someone for catering. As I watch everyone around me eat the food and not complain, I'm wondering if something is wrong with their taste buds. The chow mein looks to be days old and has NO flavor. Egg rolls super greasy flavorless as well. Rice is dry and stuck together and that orange sauce is also too sweet and didn't help the rice any. Just disappointing BOTH times. read more

I would love to give this zero stars. This is by far the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life, so bad that I actually brought it back for my refund where the manager (or owner or whatever she was) sat there and dumped out the food and soup I brought back into a bowl,in front of me and several guests, and was questioning how much I ate and yelling/accusing me of eating the food. I ordered the szechuan beef, not sure if you've ever seen it or had it, but what I got was absolutely foul. Deep fried pieces of rubber is what it taste like. And the sauce, gross. And it had NO vegetables! Their wonton soup only had like 4-5 little wontons in it, again no vegetables or anything. And I don't even know what was In my potsticker, definitely no vegetables, just some weird white stuff rolled in it. The chow mein was so soggy and oily and had half my noodles were burnt (probably from just keeping it on a warmer all day). Im new to the area and was referred by a friend to check out tea garden, Absolute horrible experience and I will never go back or recommend anyone eating at this disgusting place. And one of my fortune cookies wasn't even wrapped, but the other was. Absolutely nothing good about this restaurant. read more

This place is awesome!! What I love about them is their large selection of non-coffee items for a non-drinker like me :) My favorite right now is their Electric Lemonades, you can add any flavor you want and you can have it just over ice, blended or you can add the smoothie mix as well...they are delicious in all the options!!!! They are new to Eureka, but they offer a great menu of food items as well as ice cream and lots of other goodies!!!! Myrtle Ave never had it so good ... read more

Quiet little place which looked promising as the definition of a Hole In The Wall place. Wasn't worth throwing away but, the food was void of flavor. The fried rice didn't have veggies in it and their wasn't much flavor or meat, the pork chow fun had veggies without flavor as well. Also the food tasted like the wok was mixing flavors together for a while so that was an automatic let down. I shall go somewhere else. read more

This was my first time ordering from a business that has been open for30 years! I ordered the combination Chow Fun. It was delicious! All of the meat was fresh and tender. The noodles were wonderful and the sauce was yummy. I will be back. read more

Small portions for the price. Ordered sizzling rice soup and they give you 4 shrimp to serve 6-8 people. RIP off.
