Place doesn’t look like much but definitely the best Chinese in the Mandarin area, especially for the price. Always quick, hot, and fresh. All of the entrees are delicious. Cashiers are very friendly.

We order all the time and the food is good. when the elderly cook is back there cooking it's the best. The place looks clean and the employees friendly. Tried other places nothing better yet.
Best Chinese take-out for miles. Only place worthy of ordering Mongolian beef. No one else does it right for take-out.
So happy every time I go here! Never disappointed! Fresh taste to everything I have eaten. Also, very clean when you come in. You can see into there kitchen when you come in, and is always spotless. Staff is very friendly, and sometimes can remember what you had the last time you came in, or even remember your name. Typically grab something to go. It is not the type of place you sit and eat in, but could. Live this place! Very positive energy from everyone!
My ONLY Chinese take out! They are clean and their food is amazing. I've never had a problem with them! I always get something different and never get disappointed!
I'm new to the neighborhood and decided to try Green Tea. Hands down the best fried dumplings EVER! I will order them everytime.
Foods are delicious! Fast service, clean kitchen and foods are always freshly cook. The best chinese take out ever! Friendly staff too.
Great food, fast service. We order from here a couple of times a month. We have never had a bad meal. Usually we get the General Tso's Chicken, sweet n sour (our son will eat it :)) and crab rangoons. It feeds the 3 of us and leftovers for the next day.
Always fast, hot, and delicious. I haven't had a bad meal yet. Plus like most people don't like ordering chinese because of language barriers, but no problems here!
Green Tea has several tables in the restaurant for you to sit at while you are eating, or one has the option to order the food and take it with them to a different location to eat. There are menus at the counter with all of the choices of food and beverage. Above said counter there are pictures of some of the meals, but not all of them. The restrooms are for customers and employees only. The walls are decorated with various ornaments from the orient and they have some Chinese writing on them for authenticity. There is not a fountain drink dispenser, but Green Tea does have a cooler full of canned and bottled drinks. The actual shop is just north of the Five Guys on San Jose -- which have some of the best burgers around. The prices are really cheap. At Green Tea, not Five Guys. Five Guys is not especially pricey, I just wanted to avoid confusion.
Always great food - nicest people - whether you pick it up or get it delivered you will neverbe disappointed - wontons and spring rolls are amazing!
Just The Way I like It. Ordered Pork Lo Mien with fried rice and an egg roll this weekend and thought the dish was very flavorful and not greasy at all. The restaurant seemed very clean and did not have an old grease smell. The portions were large and the container was filled to the brim. Everything was just the way I like it and I will definitely return.
Fav Spot. I have ordered from them for years. The food is always steaming hot when it arrives, they take the time to answer menu item questions, should you have any, and delivery is typically as promised too. I think the only menu item i didn't care for was the steamed dumplings. Other than that, great food at a good price and delivery too....what more can you ask for?
Best Chinese Delivery in Mandarin. Great Food, Great Delivery, Great Prices, Great Services. We have tried so many other Chinese deliveries, and we kept getting dissapointed, but Green Tea saves the day!!!
Great Food & Service. Great food, always fast delivery, and friendly staff! My house tends to order almost weekly from them and it's always a wonderful meal and we stuff ourselves silly!
Not bad. Pros:
-"Healthier" and less heavy versions of your favorite Chinese dishes. These are pretty authentic and less "Americanized" than other places.
-You can tell that the grease they use to fry things is changed very often, as their fried items are always crisp, fresh tasting, and free of other food debris.
-There is crab meat in the rangoon, as there should be.
-The food is always scalding hot and fresh.
-They are super light on their sauces (this can be a pro or con, depending on your tastes & expectations). I.e., you may consider the food to be bland if you are used to other restaurants that use heavy brown sauce.
Cons:
-The chow mein dishes do not include any noodles in them, as you might expect (because we are used to the American versions). The noodles come deep fried on the side, in a little baggy.
-Delivery time is always AT LEAST an hour, no matter how close you are.
-You won't like the food here IF you aren't open to more healthy and less heavy versions, as you might consider their versions to be "bland". I know that's how I felt when I first had their food. Now, I love it.
-The rangoon is not "sweet" like I usually like it to be, but it is always still super fresh and crispy.
-Their portion sizes are weird. I.E, you can't just get like a small $4 order of Sesame Chicken. You have to get an entire order at $8 a pop, or order an entire combo. There is no in between.
-I don't consider their rice to be "fried". It is more like steamed, with vegetables added.
Best Location. This location is the best, the owners are nice and friendly and they almost always have someone who is completely fluent in English working the cash register, it's strange but their french fries are really good. If you're looking for chinese takeout you have arrived at the best place. I do not recommend the pork wonton. Everything else on the menu is delicious though.
One of the best chinese food restaurants to eat around the San Marco area!!
Friendly, speedy service! The sweet and sour chicken was in perfect bite-size pieces. Vegitable lo mein was flavorful. The fake fried rice wasn't great, but I will order from here again!
Great Food!! Fast Delivery!!. The food from this restaurant is outstanding!! Everything is always hot and fresh.
Tasty Take Out. The people who work there are super friendly. The restaurant was clean. More importantly, the food is really good. There is something about good chinese takeout... You have to understand, it's not like we are going for authentic China experience. What we are going for is a simple, delicious and satisfying meal. And that is exactly what we got.
We started with Krabmeat Rangoon- a perfectly decadent fried piece of nothing healthy. But with a little unnaturally pink sweet and sour sauce drizzled over fake crab and cream cheese wrapped in fried dough, who cares about calorie count?
The Beef Broccoli was delicious and full of tender beef and crunchy broccoli. The Chicken and Snow Peas was light and would be perfect for an evening for something "not too heavy" (you know what I am talking about). Then there was the Moo Goo Gai Pan- tasty veggies, light sauce and nicely cooked chicken.
We will definitely be back.
Obscure but awesome! This should be your first choice for chinese delivery!
Try Mongolian Beef!. I love this place, i get the mogolian beef all the time, it's the best! the food is always fresh and it's not too greasy. the owners are accually nice too :)
Clean environment. Great service. Shrimp lo mein combination with fried rice is what I ordered. Positive first…loved the lo mein…the pork fried rice not so much…very mushy…next time I’ll get the white rice instead…the egg roll although kinda greasy was so delish I didn’t need duck sauce!!! Will eat here again!
THE BEST CHINESE FOOD AROUND! Seriously, I should have written a review sooner! We've been coming here for years and the food is fresh, delicious, and piping hot every single time! Everyone here is so kind and welcoming and the everything is so very clean. They are my go to spot when I'm looking for take out and I will NEVER go anywhere else as long as they are around! Love love love them!
The food is delicious! Best General Tso's chicken I've had in 30 years. The Mongolian beef is also amazing. I'm definitely coming back! I want to try the sesame chicken and their dumplings.
I don’t have any photos, but the food here is delicious. It’s a nice family owned hidden gem. I moved from Jacksonville almost 2 years ago and I miss coming here. My grandma and I would come here when I was wayyyy younger, but I used to come here after work some nights because it was down the street. I would either get sweet & sour chicken or the orange chicken. They are both delicious, but the orange chicken is spicy!! It’s so good! The people here are amazing and so sweet. Hopefully next time I’m in town, I can stop by. I will always recommend this place.
Good food and service. They are very quick. Great take out place. Not a restaurant you would want to dine in.
Been coming here for over 2 years now, the food taste so much better than any other Chinese takeout and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. 11/10
I’ve been ordering here for over 3 years
I order the same thing shrimp and broccoli with spicy garlic sauce. Its always hot and good.
My husband and I are new to the city and had a taste for some Chinese cuisine. We looked up a few places near by and just tried one out. Nothing drew us to this particular place besides the location and a few good reviews. Well we definitely found a treasure! We ordered some of our favorite dishes: Pork Lo Mein, Chicken, and Fried Rice. My hubby’s Lo Mein was amazing. Best WE ever had. I ended up wishing I had ordered some for myself. My fried rice was only okay. Pretty generic but the sweet/sour chicken made up for the lackluster rice. The restaurant itself was nice. It’s clean and the staff are polite. We ordered over the phone for “pick up”. The guy that answered the phone was very professional and clear. He read the order back, gave us our price, and timeframe to pick the food up. I definitely recommend this place!
Friday night 30 minute wait. Food was great shrimp was abundant and plump I have never had broccoli and shrimp so good
Ordered three bowls of takeout lunch special ( shrimp lo mein w/ white rice, sesame chicken w/white rice, and chicken veggies w/pork fried rice). Service was quick , portions were good, and food was good. Solid Chinese takeout place.
