China Cuisine

North Shore MA has the BEST American Chinese food and you can't tell me otherwise…read more This spot is a solid 7/10 spot if you're craving a wide variety of Chinese and Japanese dishes. It's classic American Chinese comfort food, and they truly have a little bit of everything. The sushi wasn't the best quality, but honestly... if you want options, this is your place. Big menu, perfect for groups, tons to share, and a surprisingly nice bar where you can sip a drink while you wait

The pu pu platter for 2. Fried rice, Lo mein, fried ravioli, spicy fish stew, general gau chicken and several drinks. It was an abundance of food. All under $200. They have a good amount of seating and can accommodate a large group.

Hello everyone, I…read morewent to this restaurant with my lady friend, because I was told the food was so good. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great and peaceful, except for the loudmouth drunks in the bar. That's to be expected. However, our extremely inattentive and obviously inexperienced waitress just plain sucked! We are obnoxiously polite, so it wasn't us. First off, we actually needed to ask for water twice. In fact, everything had to be asked for. Every Chinese restaurant I've been to over the last 48 years always brings you water and tea automatically. Even though there were only two of us, we ordered a crazy amount of food. Did we get duck sauce without having to ask? What do you think? She only made one appearance, and that was only after I stood up and flagged her down. It was early Friday afternoon, and the place was practically empty except for the nearby bar; so it wasn't like she was overworked. She just didn't care. Despite that, I still tipped her $28 on a $102 tab. I always tip very well. What really frosted my ass, was when we asked for containers of duck sauce to take home with our leftovers. Instead of bringing us fresh duck sauce, she just threw empty cups on the table and walked away expecting us to pour the duck sauce from our meal that was left over into the cups, which we did. If you think that's bad, when we asked her to box up our leftovers to take home, she looked irritated and just threw empty styrofoam containers at us, so we had to box it ourselves! What's up with that?!?!!! I don't like to argue if I don't have to. Seriously? Think about that! Are they so cheap they can't bring us fresh duck sauce after all we paid for a ton of food? I would have paid for the extra duck sauce to take home, but she never returned so I could ask. She was so bad, that I had to start a new tab with another waitress four times, just to get another Pepsi, hot and sour soup, another order of beef teriyaki and a scorpion bowl. Why four times? Because each time we placed an order they kept coming with the bill without asking us if we're finished yet. Yes, I paid five times! (Nearly $180) Sorry for the essay folks, but if you read this far, you would understand my frustration. So yes, the food was fantastic, but the waitresses were abysmal and all but ruined my dinner date. :-( Dine with care and caution, John

We sat for about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table, and when a server finally arrived, drinks were rushed out and it felt like we were pressured to place our food order immediately. One member of our group is gluten-free, and while they did offer a gluten-free menu, it lacked creativity and felt like an afterthought compared to the regular menu. We also didn't feel confident that the allergy was taken seriously. The server didn't ask many questions or clearly communicate any precautions regarding cross-contamination, which is something we've experienced at many other restaurants. The food itself was okay, but nothing memorable. The gluten-free chicken and vegetables were extremely bland and lacked flavor. The chicken also seemed undercooked, which was concerning. We ordered four different sushi rolls, and overall I'd rate the sushi about a 5/10. The spicy edamame leaned much sweeter than spicy, although some people may enjoy that flavor profile. The crab rangoons were decent but nothing special. Throughout the meal, service continued to be lacking. We never received a check-in after our food was delivered and had to flag down our server multiple times just to get water refills. The lack of attentiveness from the staff was frustrating, especially considering the prices. The restaurant has plenty of seating, but it was very loud, making conversation difficult at times. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but it certainly didn't justify the cost. Unfortunately, it's not a place I'd recommend to friends, and I don't see myself returning.

There are many Chinese places around, this place is the best one hands down. China Cuisine has been my family's go to Chinese food restaurant for years, they never disappoint! Whenever we stray, and try a new Chinese restaurant we find ourselves comparing the food to China Cuisine. I would even go there just to get a bowl of their Wonton Soup. Though this place doesn't have as much traditional Chinese food, the food they do serve is delicious. They accept modifications to dishes. One thing that keeps customers coming back is their amazing customer service. Even when simply picking up takeout they ask how your day is going and are always smiling. The owners are very kind people that genuinely care about their customers. They are always giving back to the community, and are always involved with all the local youth sport teams. In the waiting area they proudly display the local sports teams they have sponsored, and they have frequently hosted Student Council or Relay for Life Team fundraisers to support their community. Ask anyone who lives in or around North Reading, they will say that going to China Cuisine is a must. The prices are fair, the food and portions are really good, and the staff are all very friendly. I wish this restaurant all the best! read more

I stopped to get takeout at approximately 4:30 pm. Instead of getting fresh food from dinner-I got what seemed to be left overs from lunch. The egg rolls were so tough that we had trouble cutting them with a knife- there was more batter than chicken on the chicken fingers and even the filing in the crab rangoon was crusty from reheating. Sad to see this restaurant declining once again- read more

Honestly, for what it is it's really good. It's that classic Americanized Chinese food done well…read more It really hits the spot if that's what you're craving. I've gotten takeout from Tea Garden a few times now and haven't been disappointed. The portions are generous, too. There were only two things that I was not a fan of. The Egg Foo Yong has gravy already on it so I would suggest either asking them to put it on the side or just asking for no gravy. The other thing was the fried shrimp. Maybe it was just an off day but it was over-fried and tough. If you order the appetizer platter you might want to ask them to substitute more chicken fingers or chicken wings instead of the fried shrimp. Everything else in the Appetizer Platter was decent. You have to actually call them to place an order. Ordering online is not an option. Otherwise everything was exactly what I would have expected. I would say that overall it isn't amazing but it's classic and familiar. I'll admit that after I have it I have a bit of regret but I consider it the guilt tax I have to pay to time travel back to the 80's and have the same kind of Chinese takeout I remember getting back then. It's been ready really fast, packaged very carefully and is only a five minute drive down 97 North from Georgetown center. I think Tea Garden will fulfill most people's expectations for old school Chinese takeout.

The ambience here is phun AF and komfy AF. A bar area in front loaded with locals and much joviality here. Keno and scratch tix add to the festivus happening here. Moey and I opted to sit in the dining area which was somewhat spartan but still quite nice with white table clothes and a bit of minimal bric-a-brac decor peppered about. The drink menu is HUGE and prices are very reasonable. I was quite smitten that not only did they have the usual array and Tiki Cocktails but they also have a HUGE list of classic American old-people favs such as Rob Roys and Stingers and Wallbangers and many, many more as well as a list of straight-up boozes of cordials and bourbons and tequilas and everything. This "dwink" menu was perfect for a noon-time lunch session. My latest jam is to pair old-people cocktails like Martinis and Manhattans and Sidecars with my Chinese food. Admittedly, I usually first "practice up" by starting things off with a tiki drink or two and then I will get the ball rolling by proceeding into the old-people cocktails. It works quite well for me. The phood menu was the usual Moo-Goos and Moo-Shoes and Kow Pangs, etc. Rather than bore you with details let's just say that all phood was hot n' fresh and scrump AF, bro. Everything took care of business and then some... The waitress was wicked nice and a total honeybunch. All smiles and on the ball. In short everything is wicked pissah and then some... HIGHLY recommended to all YELPers and non YELPers alike. Peep it out! NOTE: This was the best eggroll I've had. Krispy AF and great texture and flav.
