Came here at a recommendation from a friend and it didn't disappoint. Caveat: don't expect fine dining , but very solid Chinese diner experience at an affordable price. Plenty of parking around the area if the parking lot is full. BBQ Rice place: Go for the two entree if you're hungry, because the portion is massive. Got the tea chicken and cha siu and flavors were solid. I wished there was a bit more meat on the chicken. Hainanese chicken: Again solid and would order again Beef brisket noodle with egg noodles: beef was tender and the broth was so umami. Overall, flavors were spot on and would happily come back. read more

Ordered a $17.99 half portion hand pulled chicken and a dual meat bbq with rice, the bbq with rice took over 30min still did not deliver, the waitress asked me if I want water or tea, I said water, we waited for over 30min, no food and no water. The hand pulled chicken took 45 min to come and look at the portion? is that half a chicken? I asked the waitress, and the waitress said yes!Are you serious? where the thigh part and drumstick meat! read more

Tealicious - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Got a lot of recommendations for duck at this place. We were in the area so we went there to get one. The place was busy and very few parking spaces in the lot. Just wanted the duck. There were a lot of people in the place but they said they already ordered. The places has a bunch of tables so you can eat inside the restaurant. They are a bit unorganized. No one person to take orders so not really an order in getting your food either. A lady ordered duck after us and she got hers first. The duck was small and cost over 32 bucks. It's a lot for a duck. It looked good. When we got it home it was really good. Nice BBQ flavor. The skin was crispy to, an added bonus. Still not sure it is worth the price but it did have lots of flavor beyond other places we eat duck at. So a nice change. read more

I grew up in the Bay Area all my life, and roast ducks and soy sauce chicken over white rice . And mmmm are these roast duck and soy sauce chicken they have here can definitely compareable and not to mention the iced lemon black tea. Roast pork isn't bad either. read more

Lunch at one of my favorites! This is the only place I will eat duck! The BBQ duck at Tealicious is AH-MAZING!!! Bbq Duck, Crispy pork and A Choy with garlic sauce is my fave! I don't get to this side of town much but when I do prefer to eat here! My son ordered the brisket noodle soup with rice noodle and he wasn't particularly fond of the rice noodle, he said it was a bit hard. Everything else about the soup was good! This place can get pretty busy on the weekends so just plan ahead! I enjoy their hot Taro milk tea and my kids love the Strawberry Matcha Latte too! This place always hit the spot! Hope you try it too! read more

DO NOT skip the honey lemon tea but, also try the other drinks. Great tea selection! The food is equally as good. The shredded chicken appetizer is tasty! This is served cold, just fyi. The rice plates are a great go-to. Parking can be limited but usually never an issue. read more

Yes yes yes! I love to get the roast duck there all the time! Always called in to make it fresh out of the oven and chopped it up for you. The service was amazing and love to go back there. The ambiance is amazing here too. read more

Order the roasted duck good flavor nut the skin was too fatty & the cha sui was too fatty too. Order chow fun too greasy, meat was tender but it wad ok. The passionfruit drink was good. Not my favorite place read more

You're telling me all this time I had access to a cute and delicious authentic Chinese food 10 minute drive or a 20 minutes walk from my house????? My goodness, I've been missing out for the last year so I'm going to be visiting as many restaurants in this area as I can to satiate my palette. I'll be returning here and bringing some friends to eat with me since not only are the prices affordable, but the quantity of one plate is enough for two people. read more

Came for some soup and had a similar dish with egg noodles with roast duck. The roast duck was served on the side and was wonderful!!! I also add a tofu and baby bok choy with black mushrooms in a supreme sauce that was very good. Of the five Chinese restaurants in the strip center, they are in the top two with Hong Kong Wok. Jade Fountain is home style and Ho Chin Market are also in the running, A new Restaurant named Old Gui Lin has also joined the selection. Far East Cafe across the street is the oldest (30+ years) and is also very good. read more

This review is only on the tea side of the restaurant, but it did look appealing on the other side of the restaurant. There was also a roasting duck in the window of the kitchen, and it looked mouth watering. The parking situation isn't good, but most places in this stretch of Freeport don't have good parking spots available. Can't knock them for it. In the same strip mall is Jade Fountain and New Hong Kong Wok and their parking situation makes the one at Tealicious seem like a walk in the park in comparison. The good news: we were helped pretty quickly. They took our order quickly and handed us a menu too, even though it's really easy to see the big menu at the register. They had really nice reusable cups too for the tea! Now for the not-so-good: it took a while to get our tea. In terms of boba, it was a longer-than-expected wait. We eventually got it. The flavor was tea-heavy, which is nice if you're not into the sugar-and-milk heavy ones. However, after the first five sips, it wasn't that great. In a part of town heavy with Asian populations, I'm sure you could do better than this place for boba. read more

The duck and crispy pork is so good here! The portion for a combo plate is so worth it! I've been wanting to try their tealicious chicken but they usually sell out later in the evening, so highly recommend to order early! The pig ear entree is so flavorful and spicy! If you love eating things similar to that, it's a must try! read more

I love this place, food n service is great. The only thing is parking very limited and then the food does not come with any sauce for the meat, duck n crispy pork no sauce? But may be they have it unless I asked? Should come with it especially with to go item since you can just come back only for sauce. read more

We went on recommendations of a friend. Their roast duck was some of the better duck that we've had in Sacramento, but the portion for a half duck seemed small. The roast pork was good as well as the veggies. They have a really nice iced tea (with lemon). Service is pretty typical for a Chinese restaurant. Place has a funny name for a Chinese restaurant - sounds like a boba place. We enjoyed our food there and will be back. read more

They do not know how to cook rice. Any Asian restaurant that cannot cook rice affects the rest of their dishes.

Always come here for their rice plates. BBQ pork and Roast Duck are a must. Their house chow mein is also really delicious. Service is always amazing read more

Tealicious - I asked for no bell peppers - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

As of lately, I've been coming here at least 2x a month. The food is typically consistent, but last Saturday was a bust. The flavors for both the duck and chicken were completely off - they mentioned that they ran out of the duck a few times to us and other customers and it'll take about 30 mins to cook. This was around 11:45am. They open at 11am. During peak hours, the wait time can range from 15 to 45 mins, due to the small space and people don't really rush when they're eating here. The staffs are monotone - not really talkative - they pretty much just take your orders and drop your food off to your table. Water refills does not typically occur often. I'm giving it 4 stars because I know the potential of the food especially when the quality was great and the food typically comes out at a decent time. I would NOT recommend the ramen. The broth sucked. I'd say the worse ramen I had. The spicy cucumber salad was not spicy and lacked flavor. It was oily more than anything. Their meat quantity varies every time , the first time there was a lot of meat on my 2 item entree, the second time I went there, they gave me a lot of skin and fat on the chicken and duck on my 2 entree. Other than that, get the chicken, duck, maggies duck chin, beef chow-fun, bbq pork and roasted pork. read more

I really like the BBQ Duck & BBQ Pork rice combo plate here! The duck is juicy and the skin has a nice crisp to it. A lot of bones but thats how duck is. The pork is tender and I especially like the fatty pieces. Both have a great flavor. The 2 entree BBQ rice plate comes with a good portion of food that comes with rice and a veggie for about $17ish with tax. The first time I went bok choy was the veggie and the time after it was cabbage. I found that both my take out and dine in experiences were very efficient. Maybe I was lucky, and I didn't have to wait long the times I've gone even when busy. I don't prefer the parking situation there but at least it's free. The parking lot is narrow, not many spots ever free, and the spots are pretty tight. But regardless, I'll definitely keep coming back here whenever I have the craving! read more

got the milk tea with boba, pomelo mango sago and red bean milk tea. The boba was soft warm and chewy, and the milk tea had a strong flavor which I liked. Was underwhelmed by the mango pomelo sago as it lacked pomelo and mango flavor. Red bean milk tea was very good my mom loved it and said the beans were cooked well with great sweetness. The place is a restaurant with seating, but you can order boba/takeout. I've eaten here once wasn't amazed but always seem to be busy whenever I stop by so might try some menu items sometimes! Overall solid boba spot read more

One of my go to spots for roasted duck and chicken. I would advise to place an order over the phone for pickup unless you decide to dine in. The seating area is comfortable and the place just has all around Chinese food that is worth trying. read more

Tealicious - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here for the first time , drive past here many times . I came here for boba and it looks more like a restaurant style . I order the signature drink and 2 entree plate , signature tea king chicken and crispy pork. Parking is limited but inside has plenty of space and good for small group. While waiting for my food to go. Two customers came in , they had their orders messed up, missing an item. The noise level is average to high you can hear the chef in the back chopping, typical kitchen noise . I can taste passion fruit in the teas, it has blueberry, orange and grape . There are chunks of it inside the drink and they even crushed the ice too. I like their cup, strong and sturdy. I can reuse it The crispy pork not as crispy as I hope but very flavorful, I was disappointed in the signature tea chicken . read more

You would never think this is more than just a boba shop. They have some pretty amazing entrees. The food is really good with lots of good flavors. The service is quick. The environment and tables are clean. The place is a bit smaller so parking is hard to find sometimes especially during busy hours. Other than that the seating when you arrive is quick and easy (almost like self seating if there isn't a lot of people inside). If you're looking for good food to go with good boba then this is a must try! read more

I'm gonna give you the insider tip for Tealicious: order the roast meats, and skip the rest. People line up like crazy to get the roast duck to go. If you want to eat in, I suggest you get the bbq/roasted sampler with the duck, chicken, pork belly, and cha siu, along with a bowl of rice for each person. That's the best bang for the buck IMO. I've tried the ramen, noodle soup, and baked dish with cheese, and they were underwhelming at best. The milk tea seems a bit bland to me, but tasted better after I ate something salty. Go figure. The service is pretty slow due to the amount of crazy take out business they get, but I'm not faulting the wait staff, just preparing your expectations. So there you go, words to live by, get the roast duck. read more

food was bad someone said i was fat so bad service and ambiance reminded me of a run down building

A friend recommended we try Tealicious, and after looking at their pictures, I was excited to try this place. I ordered the bbq duck noodles, and my sister ordered the combination rice plate with empress chicken and crispy pork. For starters, we ordered fried calamari and spicy cucumbers. The spicy cucumbers were delicious ! The spice was very smoky like Szechuan, and that's a different taste from what I am used to (Thai chili). Scale of 1-10 on the spice level would be a 7! The fried calamari was a little on the salty side, so we asked to take it off of our order. The staff was really accommodating and didn't give us any flack about it. My noodles were amazing! The flavor without any additions was delicious! The duck is by far my favorite protein that I tried there. After savoring the first bites, I asked for chili to add to my noodles, bad idea! It changed the flavor of the soup dramatically, but that's my own fault. I couldn't eat it after that, because all I could taste was peppercorn and spice. Definitely eat it as is, and a plus, they offer generous portions! My sisters plate was a masterpiece the crispy pork was appetizing, but the empress chicken was better. It was just as juicy as the duck. Another plus, If you order a meal you get a lemon tea for $2 ($1 for a small)!! It's so refreshing to eat with their menu items! Although I did enjoy the soup, I would definitely come back for the rice plate and tea! read more

We went there for lunch after hearing good things about their lunch plates. The lunch plates and food preparations were really good. The bbq pork, toast pork and roast duck over rice are really good. The vegetable served with it are good too. The portions are good size and they are reasonably priced. Service was good as well. Will definitely go there more when I am in town. read more

Food 9/10 Service 8/10 Ambiance 10/10 This spot is slept on, don't let the overall 3.5 star rating fool you, i dont take taiwanese, chinese, HK ratings too serious especially since they typically get low ratings mainly based on service and not their food. go during lunch and get yourself a BBQ rice plate, I went with the empress chicken which is basically just Hainan chicken if you've had that and BBQ duck, the dish was delicious with about 5 peices of stir fried bokchoy and a good portion of meat to rice for about $15.50. My only con of this dish is I wish they gave you the ginger oil mix on the side for the empress chicken, and the rice tasted like day Old rice you would use in fried rice (which is what I did with the leftover rice when I got home I made fried rice with it and it was delicious) for the business owner, I would recommend crisping up the rice on a wok or pan so that at least the texture and flavor compliments the dish overall rather than tasting unintentionally old :) Their fruit teas were bomb too btw, I ordered a blueberry fruit tea with cream on top, and I thought at first that it would just be a slushy, but the tea flavor actually stood out and the drink went really well with the salted cream on top, perfect for a hot day! My girlfriend got their fruit tea, and she loved hers as well as she asked for it half sweet and they loaded it up with ab abundance of fresh fruit Just on teas alone and what we ordered it's a 10/10 read more

Tealicious - Finished plate. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

They've changed up the menu a few times over the years. The food here seems to be focused on roasted meats over rice. There is definitely a different ambience nowadays, when it first opened it seemed to be going for a quieter vibe for younger people wanting to grab a drink and some snacks, the vibe now reminds me more of cafes in Hong Kong. It has a busier, louder vibe. The bbq duck here is really the star here, I come here quite often for it. The empress chicken is also pretty good, so I'll often get a rice plate with the duck and chicken. I usually really like roast pork, but I find their version just ok. If you get a rice plate, it's only $2 to add on a lemon tea. I tried it once and I actually liked it a lot, I don't like lemon tea in Hong Kong much, but this one was sweeter and tasted like an Arnold Palmer. read more

Thursday, 6/23/2022 - Tried "Tealicious" last night. Found that they don't just serve tea or sticks. They have a slew of foods to order too. They are around the area where Sacramento Zoo and Sac City college is. It's located in a small strip mall next to Boba Cafe and a nail salon. There is street parking or you can park in the small parking lot they have in front of their restaurant. Restaurant address is 5101 Freeport Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95822 South Land Park Upon arrival..... Pros: 1) staffs were ready to seat me right when I walked in. My friend was already there sitting st our table. So I let them know which table I was going to. 2) waitress was quiet. But nice. She took our drink orders and gave us time to review their menu. 3) they provided lime water for me. Water tasted great. No funky or metal taste. 4) Once we order our foods and received it, all of their food dishes were great. Very flavorful. 5) Maggi duck chin tasted great, shredded duck soup was delicious, wings were good, and even the 2 meat combo dish was good. 6) restaurant is small but cute. 7) bathroom is clean. Cons: 1) no cons Conclusion: I really liked their foods and drinks. Foods very flavorful. Drinks were on the too sweet side for me, but still very good. Staffs were mild, meek and nice. At least our server was. Restaurant clean. I will go eat here again! Try it if you haven't. read more

Best roast duck in the greater Sacramento area! The grilled pork neck meat is also one of my favorites.
