Unfortunately, not a great experience. We visited late evening and aside from a crowded bar and outdoor deck there was only one other party in the dining area. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered a standard small apps plate which was OK, nothing remarkable. Then our entree, orange beef arrived. It was rough. The meat was not chewable at all. Attempts to cut the meat were also unsuccessful. The waitress seemed genuinely shocked when I told her how bad the dish was and I ended up feeling a little embarrassed for her. She inspected the food, brought it back to the kitchen and then immediately comped us. The ownership and waitstaff here could not be nicer and more friendly but the dish we ordered is Chinese restaurant cooking 101. Maybe this is a great stop for simple apps and drinks but I would not suggest venturing past that. read more

This place is okay. The prices are right, portions are good, service is good, but there's room for improvement in the flavors. I'd come back if someone else was dying to come here specifically but otherwise, I'd try a new place next time. I'd give it a 2.5 but will round up instead of down. 3 stars heavily takes price/portion value heavily into consideration. I ordered the General Gau, $7. It had a great, crispy texture and I appreciated that the sauce wasn't syrupy and heavy as it is at many establishments. However, I found that it lacked flavor and spice. The white rice tasted like dish detergent, it's possible the cooker wasn't fully rinsed. My lunch came with hot and sour soup which was tasty, though not very hot. It was filled with ingredients. I ordered an appetizer combo lunch (#27) to bring home for my husband.The pork fried rice, crab Rangoon, and chicken fingers were okay (pretty standard). The chicken teriyaki was decent, was moist and had a nice marinade. Service was prompt and courteous, my water was always filled. The atmosphere is a little dark but it's clean. Every.single.picture in the place is crooked. Accessibility: There is seating available at the lower level but the bathrooms are up stairs. The parking lot is a little difficult to get out of, the in/out is only one lane so make sure no one is coming when exit. read more

Food is ok. Sometimes bland. Tonight we found 4 hairs in our food so that's a bummer. We keep trying to give them another try since they get ok reviews but we're just not seeing it. read more

Old school Asian and personally I like it. Sort of a little hole in the wall, loud kitchen, loud bar. Nice staff, crowded tables.

Rapidly becoming our favorite Chinese restaurant in the area! Food has been consistently excellent, combined with very good service and value! Especially good, in my opinion, is the Gen Gau chicken and the hot / sour soup. Have been there several times and definitely will return and recommend! read more

I know it's busy on New Years Eve but it's no excuse for horrible service and Cold Undercooked food. We couldn't get our water glasses refilled, tried 3 times to tell someone that our food was cold and coagulated. All we kept being told was "I don't know". Waitress finally came by at some point and dropped a bill off but kept walking. Never did she stop and ask us how anything was. She rolled her eyes at us when we were ordering and asked to change something. The service was horrible at best. The food was even worse. I had to take food home to heat it in our own oven. Temperature of food served was under the allowable holding temperatures allowed by law. I will be contacting the health department and filing a report with them regarding this matter. read more

Ok. It's easy to say "best ever" and/or "this was terrible". You know when you're being taken care of, when you sit in a restaurant or not. This place is staffed with dedicated folk who care about good Chinese food. The "Black Pepper Platter" is a must. Delicious. Mai Tai is as advertised..."glowingly" beautiful. If you have a chance, or have a coin toss of a decision...just come here. read more

Pork fried rice was bland, egg rolls were cold, and the fortune cookie was stale tasting. To top that all off I had the worst stomach pains and gas after eating here read more

Chicken and broccoli was ok, lomain has criminal amounts of msg. Can't stop salivating, feels like my heart's about to stop. I recommend the lunch combos here, have not been disappointed by those so far. read more

My family and I have been coming here over the past 15 years..and NEVER been disappointed!! My family from across the country make sure we make atleast one meal per visit here! By far the best Hot and Sour soup I've ever had!! Lunch combo is a DEAL! Can't wait to get back and eat in!!! read more

The food is amazing needless Day, but my server was no where to be found the whole dinner. She never check in, my boyfriend wanted something more to drink and had to ask a different server, and when we received our check ( by the MIA waitress) she did even look at us . She legit just handed us the check and said nothing to us. Wasn't the greatest experience. read more

General Gaos so good. High recommend. The vibe of the place is so authentic and the family who owns the business is always friendly.

First time ordering and sadly probably the last time. Ordered platter for 3 and seemed like a platter for one. We got 2 crab Rangoon and 4 chicken fingers for the 3 of us.The egg roll was empty just rolled up dough. Not worth the price or the drive over there. Too bad as I always heard good things about this place. read more

This place confuses me. At times the place serves great food, and at others I wouldn't feed it to my dog. I will give places a second chance, and here our family did. Food was good second time around. Then it was bad. Then it was good again. Not sure why, but the lack of consistency is keeping us away now. The restaurant itself is OK, nothing bad, but nothing special either. If you're a gambling person, and feel lucky, give them a shot. You may win and get a good meal. Or it may be their off night and you'll have to find some place else. Good luck. read more

Staying at local hotel on business, would have been awesome to know that they have FREE delivery (order of $15). Oh well. Otherwise... Fast service, nice wait staff, prices good, portions big, free hot tea. I had the appetizer sampler, moo shu pork and twice fried noodles. All were good, not great, but definitely good. read more

My spot in town for Chinese food! It's a local mom and pop shop with the friendliest staff who will get to know you by name. While the decor is nothing fancy, the atmosphere is cozy. The food is made to order with fresh ingredients, and I have yet to order something I don't like. If you want to adjust anything, they are more than willing to accomodate. Szechuan three delight is a must! They don't skimp on the drinks either. The scorpion bowl is enough to knock you out. It's no wonder you'll find the upstairs lounge filled with regular bar crawlers. read more

Tea Garden Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

I just ate here once, but it was yummy and fresh. I just did takeout, but the atmosphere for people seated seemed unexpectedly sweet.

Tea Garden has the best Chinese food in town. I love their Sa Cha Chicken, chicken lo mein, and hot and sour soup. I have tried most items on the menu and enjoy them. The owners are extremely nice. And they have stayed open for pickup and delivery during COVID. They are reliable, the quality is always consistent, and the staff is friendly. read more

On a recent trip to the capitol of the Granite State, I stopped here to have dinner. I was impressed. They give you generous portions of food here - a guy at a table nearby got a good helping of beef with broccoli and after that, I got my order of chicken with broccoli which was plentiful. It definitely filled me up. There's also a patio for eating outside and this is readibly visible from the sidewalk which sold me on the place. If you want good Chinese food in Concord, NH, give the Tea Garden a try. read more

The dumpling sauce is not what you would expect. All the food was extremely salty and the pink in the "General Gau's Chicken" was either undercooked or something other than chicken. Very disappointed. Also, the General Gau's Chicken did not come with broccoli as pictured. However, delivery was fast. read more

We stopped here after driving around downtown Concord looking for a place for dinner. The decor is nothing fancy, and both the lobby and the upstairs bar could probably use a make-over, but the food was very good, and very reasonably-priced. We had Chicken Lo Mein (good), Mu-shu Chicken (very good, and excellent plum sauce), and absolutely the best Orange Chicken that either my wife or I have ever had (we live in California, and we've tried a lot of Orange Chicken dishes). The outside of the chicken was a perfect crispiness, which is unusual with O.C. Overall, we were very happy we found the Tea Garden. There's a newspaper clipping in the lobby that says it was voted the Best Take Out Chinese in Concord. I'm not surprised. If you're near Concord, I would definitely suggest giving Tea Garden a try. read more

Nice location near highway and Hollidayinn. Family all Loves the food in here. Seafood specially are our top one. The restaurant also Clean and nice service. read more

I was going to The Tea Garden Restaurant Christmas Eve. I was told by a Customer he called 2 hours ago and he was still waiting. I went someplace else. However I called for Chinese on Christmas. Their was no wait. They said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I was there before that. I got home no my food was cold. I ordered a Pu Pu Platter for 2 and I got 1 spare rib and 1 piece of chicken. You usually get 2 pieces of everything. The egg rolls were not fully cooked. I have raved to people that this is the best Chinese restaurant in Concord. I'm not sure what happened. Is it under new management because it was different people at the counter. I was fully disappointed. read more

A frequent stop when I'm traveling in the Concord area. Fast service and consistently good food. I generally grab take out and head to my hotel. read more

Food is pretty tasty! LoMein here is great! The parking lot is pretty terrible but not much you can do with the location. Customer Service isn't to bad! read more

Absoultely delicious. The egg drop soup is delicious the broth has a egg yolk taste compared to other restaurants I have tried. pork fried rice is spot on a long with everything on the menu. The staff are extremely nice. The bar tender is fantastic and friendly. Atmosphere is pretty relaxed for the most part. read more

Love this place!!!! Amazing food from incredible cooks and staff. Never disappoints!!!!

Visited a friend in NH and we were craving Chinese. This was his spot. I ordered a general gaos ck. I guess that's their version of general tsos. It was really good. great portion and decent price. Their peking ravioli, or dumplings rather, were huge and delicious. read more

Good food. Fresh ingredients. Prompt delivery to Hampton Inn in Concord. Had the moo shu pork. Very good. Good sauces. Mustard that will set u free. Great pancakes. Orange chicken. Very good. Not grisly style but more steamed. Very good. Fresh garlic and scallions. Good quality of veggies. Crab rangoons. Crispy and delicious. Best I have had in a while. They said it would take 25 min for delivery. It showed in 25 min. Also got to work on my Mandarin with the delivery guy. Straight up Guangzhou transplants. That's who u want making your Chinese food. I haven't felt any weird MSG side affects either. read more

Not too bad and not outstanding. Rice noodles are pretty good, PUPU for two is tasty and the ribs are legit. Disappointing to pay more to sub out the shrimp in exchange for additional chicken fingers and they even didn't do it. House Lemon chicken is very good and fresh, not too much sauce and tasty! Will try again but won't go out of the way to make it happen. read more

I've eaten a lot of Chinese food in my 57 years and this has got to be the worst. I've never ordered from here before and thought I'd give it a go. I order appetizers when I try a new place. If they can't do apps then I never return. I won't be returning. The battered apps had too much batter and weren't crispy at all but just loaded with grease and soggy. And the apps with no batter were just overcooked and tough to chew. Another place will be getting my hard earned $20. read more

Stopped in on my way home from loon with my autistic son, he only eats certain foods that we bring with us, they would not let him in with his own food even after we explained the situation to them, not at all helpful or understanding read more

Easy, old school, solid Chinese with great prices and nice drinks menu. Wonderful service. Bar upstairs has TV, and patio is really nice in Summer. Solid vegi options as well. read more

Local's Favorite for sure - this is one of my absolute favorite places for lunch in town. I always enjoy Chinese food, but I really don't dig buffets as a rule (and there are plenty around here, and they're fine - but just not like this!). Tea Garden is just off exit 14 - if you're getting of I-93, go towards the Concord Main Street (West off 93), and at the light, turn right (north) and Tea Garden is in a tiny building a couple corners up. Your most difficult thing will be the parking lot out back which is a little tight. BACK IN! Trust me - if you're there at a busy time, you'll want to back in. :) Some of the best hot & sour soup around. Lunch specials are excellent - my personal fave is beef w/ mushroom/pea pods. For some reason I really like their brown sauces. Their wings are crispy and not mushy either. Dinners are about the same, and they're affordable. You get a little more on the serving size. Nothing "gourmet" or fancy-shmancy here - just tasty food. As you'll see as you pull up, there's nothing fancy about the building either, but inside is bright and clean. This is definitely a local's favorite, and you can tell because the staff recognizes us! And when I'm downtown and have a hankering for Chinese, this is my go-to place! If you are just passing through, it's pretty quick off the interstate. Please give them a try - Tea Garden has been around for a long time, and I hope they stick around for a lot longer! BTW: They do have a good sized lounge if you're looking for that! read more

Best Chinese food in NH. Great friendly service. Nh favorite place to go at least once a week. Trust me you will love this place not to mention the awesome drinks!!!! read more

Tea Garden is always good for Chinese when I'm up in the Concord area. My wife & I recently ordered the Ginger Chicken and it was delicious. The scallion pancakes are generous, if a little heavy. read more

This place has the potential to be better. I came here for some quick food and a drink. I ordered some dumplings, something that just needs to be steamed. It took them way longer than needed for that one appetizer. Ill come back again, but this time they only earned two stars from me. read more

A quick search on Yelp for a suggestion for some Chinese food yielded a satisfied customer. I ordered Chicken Teriyaki and Wonton Soup and Chicken with Broccoli for dinner. All I can say is that every bite was delicious, the wait staff was pleasant and attentive, and my water never ran dry. When dinning for one with food for two means "lunch tomorrow". My fortune was "If you wait too long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by". read more

Best Chinese food in NH. Order shrimp pancakes as soon as you are seated as they take about 15 minutes to prepare and are yum! We like Two Side Pan Fried Noodles (a complete meal in itself, with chicken, pork, and shrimp plus wok-toasted chinese noodles and tons of veggies), Ginger Chicken, and Black Pepper Platter, which is cooked tableside on a super hot black skillet serving dish. Add a Pineapple Passion and I am in heaven. The parking lot is tiny and, well, "rugged" but you can park on the opposite side of the street quite easily. Been eating here for 20+ yrs and it us consistently good... Got to add an A+ from my daughter who says their Sesame Chicken is the best she's ever tasted and she lives in San Francisco! read more
