    Lunch specials
    Justin L.

    I'm always down for Chinese lunch specials! Theirs comes with fried rice or white rice, chowmein, and choice of meat. The general chicken and salt n pepper chicken is right on par! Very enjoyable and affordable. My kid is a connoisseur of crab wontons so in her opinion they were "bussin." Some places seem to not season the filling inside the fried wonton but not here! Really flavorful, with a hint of sweetness at the end. It's only $3.90 to add them on to your lunch special, highly recommended to do so! Overall 3 stars. It was as good as I expected, and met my expectations.

    Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp Dinner Combo which I will be ordering again!
    Deborah L.

    I wish I had taken pictures, but everything was so delicious. I ate too quickly and forgot.! I ordered the Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp Dinner Combo. There was more than enough food but I added Cream Cheese Won Tons. Happily full & satisfied & you can't best their prices were Customer Service. I had hurt my foot earlier in the day and was really having trouble walking. I mentioned this to the girl when I arrived to pick up my order and she happily walked it out to my car! It's that kind of Customer Service along with the delicious food that keeps me coming back!

    Asian Side Salad

    Tried this place off of Door Dash. I was surprised to see that they give great portions. One combo plate is definitely shareable. I thought the chow Mein was very flavorful. The side Asian salad was a favorite. I believe the prices are justified for the amount of food they give. Overall, the food was cooked well and tasted great. I'll have to make this one of my go to places for Chinese food.

    Orange chicken combo

    Ordered General chicken from the lunch menu and it was really tasty. Also added on hot and sour soup. Which was full of flavor. Overall everything was great. Service was quick and friendly.

    Stopped here while heading back up north. The food was AMAZING!! The service was fast and professional. The ambiance of the place really makes it a really nice experience to dine in. 10/10 we are definitely coming here again.

    Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp
    Valarie O.

    I found a bug in the walnut shrimp I ordered, which was a very concerning discovery. When I called to report the issue, the staff member who answered the phone was sweet and apologized but said she could only offer a credit per the manager's instructions. When I asked for the manager's name, I was placed on hold and then told that she couldn't provide the name. Eventually, she said the owner and manager were the same person and mentioned the name Michelle. When I requested a refund for the shrimp, which was part of a $90 order, I was only offered a credit. The staff explained that their policy requires the food to be returned--something I couldn't do since I had already discarded it. I offered to send a photo of the shrimp as proof, but this was also declined. Overall, I'm disappointed with how this situation was handled. While the apology was appreciated, the lack of transparency and the refusal to offer a refund left me feeling frustrated. I hope management reconsiders their approach to customer service in cases like this.

We had family dinner for my aunts birthday and she wanted to try this place out. I heard a rumor that it was the second Restaurant of the original tealicious on Freeport, but they recently sold licious. I personally love Tealicous. They are always so very busy, so don't expect customer service there, just great food. Licious has the exact opposite, great service and okay food. We ordered the following: Szechuan green beans- cooked perfectly with a crunch still. Lacked flavor- not spicy. Fish and tofu clay pot- the fish tasted sweet, oddly. The fried tofu was perfect. Juicy and soft, Beef short ribs skillet- very fatty. You are paying for fat. Maybe it was a bad day. Tiger prawns with pumpkin- it is battered with salted egg, but it's not that salty. I wish it was saltier because I love salted egg. Battered and fried perfectly!!! The Tiger prawns are HUGE!!!!!! I've never eaten such big prawns in my life. The pumpkin was so soft and sweet with the perfect crunch from the salted egg batter. IT JUST NEEDED MORE SALT. Lots of pumpkin! Lobster- lacked flavor and was a very small lobster with not a lot of meat. Salt and pepper fried tofu for appetizer- yummy yummy. Perfect. Whole roasted duck- flavor was perfect, but the skin texture was stale. It wasn't like how it tastes at Tealicious. I don't know why the skin wasn't crunchy. Shrimp and egg chow fun- lacked flavor and too wet. Service was amazing for our two tables total of 18. They kept checking on us and even packed all of our food. There were two servers and only 3 other small tables with ours. The restaurant is quite small and is only for up to I believe 35 people on Theo occupant load signage. I would come back if I craved the Tiger prawns with pumpkin, but nothing else we tried. Maybe I'll try the fried rice next time and do an updated review.

The quality of the meat is excellent, and the chicken consistently stands out as better than most around the area, well‑seasoned, tender, and served in generous portions that leave you satisfied. The menu has a great variety, from Mongolian beef to honey walnut chicken, and the balance of flavors is spot on, with many dishes preparing ingredients in a way that feels fresh rather than overly heavy or greasy. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff that make you feel welcome whether you're dining in or ordering takeout or delivery. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, and even with a full house, meals come out in a timely way. We even went there for Christmas dinner and it was a memorable meal, hearty, flavorful, and exactly the kind of comfort food you want for a special occasion.

This is easily our neighborhood go-to for Chinese food because the food is always fast, consistently good, and somehow still hits every single time. Our regular order is pretty much set in stone now. The barbecue pork chow mein is always a must, along with the salt and pepper wings and salt and pepper shrimp, both with no jalapeños, but the real secret is making sure you get that little onion mixture with them because it completely makes the dish. The wontons are also so good, although honestly I might like them even better the next day straight from the fridge and you really can't go wrong with either the honey walnut or orange chicken sauce on the side. Everyone there is always super friendly, and the restaurant itself is consistently clean, which I always notice. Helpful tip: If you order the salt and pepper dishes, don't skip the onion mixture. That's the best part. It's one of those places that's become part of our routine over the years, and we still leave happy every single time.

The good - my order was prepared quickly, and the amount of fish was very generous. The fish was tasty and spicy. The house chow mein that I also ordered had decent (read below) flavor. The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
