For a take-out Chinese restaurant in the Winter Haven / Lakeland metro area this place gets the 5 star rating - GREAT! This is what many would consider a hole-in-the-wall place, but don't be fooled by the lack of "ambiance" here as the food was delicious (as well as plentiful). There is not really a dining area per se, but if you want to eat in they do have two old tables in the lobby. We ordered our food to go. While waiting we observed at least 6 pick-up orders and just as many walk-ins placing their orders and hanging out. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken and Sesame Chicken as our entrees. Each came with a pork egg roll or soda (your choice), with fried rice or an upgrade to Lo Mein. We both chose egg rolls, with the better half getting fried rice and my upgrading to the Lo Mein. A 15 minute drive home and the food was still hot and fresh when we dove into it. Both entrees were LOADED with chicken! I have been looking for a decent Kung Pao Chicken since the scamdemic forced our favorite Chinese restaurant of 30+ years out of business. I may have found it here. No zucchini filler, plenty of firm peanuts, very small diced celery and carrots, and a nice zing to the spice level (I would prefer it to be even hotter, but no chili peppers located within). We also obtained side orders of Crab Rangoon (8 count) and Pork Fried Wonton (10 count). We had been on the hunt for PORK fried wonton all these years and finally found a place that serves them! They were delicious! The wife enjoyed the Rangoon a lot (I am not a fan of cream cheese). All of the food was great and they stuffed the to-go containers to overflowing - BURP! read more

We had previous good to excellent experiences there and liked that they do not use mono sodium glutamate (MSG) and that the food was flavorful and fresh.. Today, 09/27/2026 it was horrible, The beef was cut in large pieces, with untrimmed fat edges and tasted and smelled like beginning to rot. The yellow rice was blah and had an "old" consistency. The egg roll had thick pieces of shredded cabbage and the crust was soft, like having been reheated. No little packets of soy sauce and duck sauce or fortune cookie were offered. We were really disappointed and may not return. read more

I love this place. They always give you generous portions and the food is always hot and fresh. The lunch specials are mostly $9 and include your entree, fried rice and an eggroll or drink. You can even save time by ordering online! You can get a different fried rice if you like, some others may just be extra. I love the chicken and broccoli, honey chicken, chicken on a stick and egg drop the most, but you can't go wrong. I have a friend that moved to Port St. Lucie that craves this place because I took her. read more

Like most of the local Chinese restaurants this one is just Soso. Please charge me more money and give me quality food cheap but not worth it when it's not even edible read more

Your food was horrible today yr rice is mooshi and no pork in it wonton soup tasted like water and yr Szechuan beef was thick chuncks not spicy and the brown sauce was thick and oily I was a regular customer but you guys are going down fast not a customer no more read more

The beef and broccoli was great. Crab rangoon nice and crispy! The portions were quite large. The service was fast, we didn't call ahead- and the wait was minimal. The restaurant is just a little area,2 tables..I guess you could sit and eat,but we and others we observed get it to go. We will go back for sure. read more

Just moved down here recently and had no clue which Chinese restaurant was best. I had been curious about this location but not having an updated menu on prices on a few years, I was a bit unsure. Ordered the Bourbon Chicken lunch special with the pork fried rice and a drink for takeout. Really great value for the price! Very delicious and I'll probably have leftovers as it was a pretty large portion. I'll definitely be coming back to try more things! I would also consider eating inside the restaurant as well. read more

Green Tea - Lunch Special Bourbon Chicken with pork fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Auburndale, Florida

Honey chicken wings are a must try if you want that type of food. Staff is always friendly which makes the service better. Best for take out food not really for sit down dining. read more

I have been buying food at green tea for a long time. I went there yesterday and evidently they have changed owners or cooks or something. The egg drop soup was absolutely horrible. Food wasn't that good either. Will not go back and do not recommend the egg drop soup taste like nothing but grease. No chicken flavor no egg flavor. read more

I ordered sweet & sour chicken with fried rice instead of white rice, knowing I'd pay extra. Instead of giving a separate container for the rice, they put in the same container like a combo. All the food is flavorful read more

Outstanding food and service. One of the better takeout. One thing I do not like is the extra charge for the use of a credit card. Better if you pay cash. read more

Another dish Disappoints. I ordered the sesame chicken this time and it came in tiny pieces that were over cooked. This was inedible because the tough chicken was so dry and hard to chew. They need to use larger pieces of chicken. Tiny pieces also mean more batter and less meat. Very disappointed. The shrimp egg rolls were really good but the main course was a waste. read more

Great Chinese food at a great price!! Customer service was great! Ordered their beef broccoli and steamed rice. It has a lot more flavor than some Panda Express locations. They offer a soda or egg roll with the meal. This is definitely the go to place for Chinese food in this area! read more

Green Tea - Great Beef Broccoli and steamed rice! - Chinese Near Me - Auburndale, Florida

Food taste is very good they are however a little pricey but the portion size is there compared to other places I have tried the people are always nice I disagree with the surcharge for using a card that's a little Beef unfair Beef Broccoli Beef Fried RiceCrab RangoonEgg Roll read more

Good food and fast service! The amount of food you get here is incredible. I came for lunch and got the bourbon chicken. It weighed like 10 pounds and for a low price of $6! Not only that, you get a choice of free soda or egg roll with any of the lunch specials. You can definitely share among your peers. The broccoli was nice and fresh. The bourbon chicken was boring, so I would probably get something with more veggies next time. I tried the Chicken with Cashews and it was delicious. The restaurant is small but there are a few tables and chairs if you want to dine in. read more

First time ordering from this restaurant and everything was delicious!!! My favorite was the honey chicken wings and garlic wontons.

As we read reviews to decide what we want to eat, and if we want to eat at these places. Its important to read comments and so on from other people. My taste and yours, may not be the same I ordered the boneless beef with fried rice and eggroll. At first glance it is a nice looking presentation, ribs look better then most places, everything was acceptable, but I am a tough reviewer at times as certain things I expect more from. The Con of my review... The rice and food has a weird after taste. It might be the pink/Orange duct sauce. Or the food itself. The eggrolls were a different paper or whatever is used in comparison to most. Inside looked darker and different then most places as well as its normally a lighter inside from the shredded cabbage, so it has the crunch of a spring roll and, yet the look of an egg roll. I cant say this place was miserable, but I don't know if I would go back. Being a few miles from work it was convenient. Reasonably priced.. And for this area I assume this would be really good as its all local diners, older crowd and a growing area. Same plate by me in Orlando would be a dollar more based on the area. Hope this helped read more

Food is consistent in flavor, my favorite is the honey chicken wings they taste amazing! Service is quick and friendly. Definitely will be returning. read more

Yummy. They are taking precautions to be safe for the current pandemic. Their quality has not changed. This causes some change in the order process so customers need to be patient and understanding. The best way to order is online using Beyond Menu. Your order will be perfect every time. read more

Food and service is really good. I enjoyed all the different dishes we ordered. Will definitely be coming back soon.

They have fast service, pricing is good for what you get and lots to choose from. No dine in option.

First time ordering from this place and I was not disappointed! I got the krab Rangoon, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. I ordered from here based on other reviews I read and I'm very glad I went! The egg drop soup had lots of flavor- as did my chicken fried rice! I am a very happy customer and will absolutely order again! Ps- they're not open Monday's! There were signs everywhere read more

Honestly dreadful. We ordered 2 orders (a total of 4 pieces) of vegetable spring rolls, vegetable lo mein, sesame shrimp, General Tso's tofu, used a coupon to get a free order of crab Rangoon. Our order only had one order (2 pieces) of spring rolls. They were oily and the filling was mush. The vegetable lo mein was the only thing that was edible and it was mediocre at best. It lacked fresh vegetables and everything in it tasted the same. The sesame shrimp stunk and we were afraid to eat it; the shrimp was obviously bad. The sauce was overly sweet and flat tasting. The General Tso's tofu had the same overly sweet, flat sauce that the sesame shrimp had and the tofu was so badly over cooked it was like eating little, rubber blocks. Neither of these two dishes had fresh vegetables. We did not eat the crab Rangoon because everything else was so bad. Truly the only thing worth eating was the white rice which was fluffy and well cooked. We didn't get any fortune cookies with the order which, although not promised, are expected. We threw most of this food in the bin. read more

Hit and miss. They are sometime great. Other time they are not so good. My dad used to order from here every Sunday now not so much. The rice chips are ALWAYS small with your soup read more

Nothing we've found is a good as the lo mein we got at a local place where we used to live, but this came a very respectable close second! Shrimp egg roll was just slightly over cooked, but tasty. Very clean and covid-safe set up. We'll definitely be back. read more

So disappointed in the food. After reading all the reviews which were mostly positive, we ordered take out food. The chicken lo main was dry, the chicken in it tasted and looked old. The Gereral Tsao was a big clump of stuck together, dry chicken chunks. No sauce, over breaded, and the chicken was tough. The Egg rolls were ok. Crab Rangoon also ok. Fried rice ok. It was pricey. And just about inedible. Will not be back. read more

Just passing through Auburndale and liked the reviews. We were NOT disappointed. Egg rolls were crispy and hot. Crab rangoons tasty. Szechuan shrimp was prepared extra spicy upon request. (I appreciate that they didn't challenge me, thanks) Hubby had General Tso's chicken., which was perfect. Hot and sour soup was the ultimate. Wish we lived closer....this would be our spot!!! read more

I got a large order for multiple people and everyone enjoyed their meals. Egg rolls were awesome.

Really great food for an excellent price. We've been ordering from them for years and they are always consistently good. Large portions. You really feel like you got a good deal. One meal feeds two people easily. read more

Food is always good. Friendly service. They offer online ordering and it's always quick. My go-to for Chinese.

After a bad food at chili's we decided to do take out here. Was very surprised!! Beef fried rice very good!!! Egg drop soup excellent!!! Looked very clean inside and we will be back again to try different items!!! read more

This place sucks....period. Food is NEVER fresh...old NO MATTER what time you show up. Bad service.... Terrible food.

Fresh crispy and tastefully made. Everything we have ordered has been delicious even with a delay in delivery it was still hot.

Literally the best Chinese place in Polk county. Tastes incredible, super friendly staff, great price, and they're always so fast.

Great food, prompt service and very plentiful for the price, just wished they had delivery!

By far the best Chinese food in Auburndale! They're very accommodating with special requests, food is fresh, staff are very pleasant and the restaurant is very clean. I am now a regular and highly recommend it to anyone who is a Chinese food fan! read more

Great Chinese food!! I have been searching Polk County for 11 months seeking good Chinese cooking. I found it! Great egg rolls. Wonderful wonton soup. The wontons were very flavorful. I will be back!!! read more

Having recently moved to the Auburndale/Winter Haven area, we have been looking for a good Chinese food place. Green Tea is not good - it is AMAZING!!! We decided to try it after seeing the good reviews on Yelp. The minute we walked in we knew we'd found a gem. It smells super yummy when you enter - not like old oil. We were getting so hungry just waiting for our food which didn't take long. We got it home (about 6 mins away) and it was HOT! Every single thing we ate was super delicious and so fresh. Not greasy at all! We got spring rolls, shrimp egg rolls, chicken on a stick, hot wings, Bourbon chicken, shrimp fried rice, and - the BEST - FREE crab rangoons because our order was over $28. You get to choose one of three free items when your order hits a certain threshold. I just cannot say enough good things about this place. I honestly think it was the best Chinese food place we've ever tried - and that says a lot. Not greasy, super juicy, good sized portions, fresh tasting...just super yummy everything. In fact, writing this has made me hungry for the leftovers which I'm going to go eat now! Cannot wait to return again and again and bring our friends. Try it - you won't be disappointed! read more

A friend recommended this place to me. Needless to say...I don't go anywhere else! Very delicious and fresh!

Fantastic This place has best Chinese food around.. This place was AWESOME.. A must have
