    1. Egg Roll
    Tracey E.

    I ordered from here tonight based on some of the reviews on Google and was genuinely excited to try it out. To be honest I was very disappointed. I ordered a traditionally "safe meal," pork fried rice and chicken wings. I was actually pretty upset that I spent approx $12, which is a bit on the pricey side for this meal. Order came with a decent serving of rice, which was tasty, but unfortunately that needed to be reheated (I live 4 mins from the restaurant so no way it got cold THAT fast.) I was shocked to see that the meal only came with 2 full chicken wings cut in half. 2!! Typically orders at other restaurants come with 4 full wings and at a lesser price point. Didn't really matter anyway because I actually didn't even eat the chicken because they had a smell to them (slightly like old wet towel) which made me nervous, so I ended up tossing them out and just eating some of the rice as my dinner. Furthermore I wasnt impressed with the quality of the egg roll. Normally they are full of pork (pink bits)and cabbage and idk what was in this one because it was white (some pork is white, so could be that) but it didn't taste like much, just oil. So I also tossed that out. I really wanted to like this place because Ive lived in the area for about a year and have yet to find a decent chinese place. I may try again and try something else because one bad meal isnt the determining factor. But as far as this particular meal is concerned, I will never get this here again. The reviews said the lomein was good, so maybe I'll try that if I ever opt to try this place again.

    Interior
    Steve A.

    This is a typical small Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. It offers a very comprehensive menu. Although they have a good size dining area, they seem to be focused on takeout. I wasn't a big fan of the interior, so I ate at one of the two tables on the front walkway, which was very pleasant. My food was extremely fresh and hot, obviously prepared to order. The eggroll was nice and crispy, with lots of fresh veggies inside that weren't overcooked. The small portion of boneless ribs was very generous, and good quality. Pork lo mein was also pretty good and certainly hot, but I might have something more interesting next time. Communication wasn't all that easy with the guy working the counter, but he got my order right!

    Was craving some lo mein at my friends house so I jumped onto Yelp delivery. They had decent ratings so I went ahead and ordered. The delivery took about an hour which was more than I expected, and I was HANGRY. Normally anything tastes amazing after that long of a wait. But the noodles were dry and lacked flavor. Hardly made a dent in it. The egg drop soup was like any other- nothing fantastic, but good. Overall, would not order again. The delivery time + food quality just isn't worth it. Reminded me why I normally ditch Chinese takeout for the real deal.

    Left to right: Orange chicken, Kung poh chicken, sesame chicken. Crab Rangoon's, hot and sour soup and wonton soup.

    We've been ordering from China Lily for the last 5 years. They have great food and are consistent in there delivery. Always fast, always fresh. Highly recommended!

    Lunch specials are the best deal. But since they changed hands it just isn't the same taste or portions that they used to give.

You can really tell they take pride in what they serve, the ingredients taste fresh, the portions are great, and everything always comes out hot and exactly how it should. No matter what I order, it's always spot on. The staff is another reason I keep coming back. They are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and they consistently get every order right, which is something you don't always find these days. In my opinion, this is hands down the best Chinese food in Florida. If you're in the area and want quality, fresh, and delicious food, this place is a must-try.

    My favorite Chinese food in the Orlando area!…read more Moved from LA about a year and a half ago and originally I was struggling to find Chinese that was similar to what I enjoyed back home. Took some trial and error until I came across this place. This is the kind of spot that you KNOW is gonna be amazing due to the ambiance - kinda grungy (respectfully), photos of the food on an illuminated board, notes written on the wall on paper that has become yellowed with time. My favorite dishes here are the sesame beef, house pan fried noodles, and veggie egg foo young. Oh and the mushu pork is damn good too, especially their plum sauce. My one wish is that they made honey walnut shrimp! That's a favorite dish of mine which is apparently hard to find around Orlando.

    This was my first time at China Tea but I shop at the Publix in Lake Cay Commons regularly…read more I had read the door instructions that say you must call in your order before entering the restaurant. I called ahead and ordered the lunch size Mongolian beef. It is $10 plus tax T-F. They are not open on Sundays or Monday. I requested not spicy and was informed it would be ready in 15 minutes. The meal was waiting for me and she ran my card. I was in and out in under 2 minutes. Since there is no seating, the access inside is to the pickup counter only. I am not sure if it got jostled on the way home or it came like that but the beef and onions and sauce were all mixed together. I would upload a picture but the medium sized clam shell packed full of rice and beef looked all black from the Mongolian sauce. It did not look appetizing. The beef was extremely tender and it had both sliced onions and green onions. The sauce was smooth and not spicy as promised. It was all going to the same place so I guess having it mixed did not really impact the flavor. It was more than I could eat in one meal. I think it was a good value and would order from China Tea again.

    We visited China Tea on a Saturday night after a long day at the parks. We called in our order but…read morewere never asked for a name or phone number--which left us a little confused. We were told it would be ready in 35 minutes, so we headed straight there. When we arrived, we noticed the dining area is closed and all orders are taken by phone only. At first, it felt odd because no one acknowledged us, and we thought the lady at the counter was being rude. But after watching a few people come and go, we realized she had a system--she doesn't talk to you until your food is ready and she calls out your order. Once we understood that, it made more sense, but it was definitely a little frustrating and confusing at first. Now, the food? Absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. We ordered the special fried rice, chicken with mixed vegetables, pork egg rolls, and vegetable lo mein. My family and I enjoyed every bite, and it made up for the wait and initial confusion. Overall, the system takes some getting used to, but the food speaks for itself. Great flavor, worth the wait!

    Food 1 star. Service 1 star (or less). Shame on you, Yelp. This restaurant was made known to me by…read moreYelp recommendation and it was terrible. The taste and quality of the food is subpar. I ordered some Chinese take out basics and they wiffed badly. Teriyaki beef on a stick was chewy and flavored only by the sauce on the "meat." Nit sure what the meat was. Pork egg roll a d shrimp spring roll didn't taste like they contained protein and the veggie tasted more like a veggie paste. And I ordered Spicy Szechuan Chicken as entree - a house specialty. I asked for medium heat just to be cautious. NO HEAT! And the chicken was chewy. At least it looked very appetizing. The service was equally poor. I ordered from the website which ended up being through a site called Beyond Menu. It allowed me to select a time for my food to be ready. I made the time selection and arrived right on time. Upon arrival I was informed that they cannot promise a time when food will be reedy.I told them they should remove the option from their website. My Norse r was ready a full 20 minutes after my selected time. Even the fortune cookies were far from fresh. A little stale tasting. I would not recommend this take out establishment.
