The lack of seasoning in their fried rice is egregious. Literally, no flavor and no seasoning at all. The rice was also dry. I added soy sauce and it didn't even help enhance the flavor. I regret spending my lunch hour and money there. Service was ok. Ambiance was ok. read more

Green Tea - Chinese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I think it's hard finding a Chinese restaurant that's worth talking about and Green Tea has been the tastiest and most consistent place yet we've found in Jacksonville. Is it perfect? No. But it's good enough that we drive all the way from Orange Park to eat it! Here are some of our favorites: Wonton soup is how I base my opinion on Chinese and the wonton soup is the closest I've found to tasting like it should. The broth should always be dark showing its flavor. This broth isn't as dark as I want it but it's flavorful, again, not perfect but close enough. Each order has a good amount of nice sized wontons with a nice meaty filling. There's little strips of pork and scallions floating around adding to each bite. I approve! Hot and sour soup is great. A little spicy but balanced with that vinegar twang. Tons of mushrooms, tofu and bamboo shoots in every bite. Kids favorites are sesame chicken and orange chicken. The sesame sauce is really flavorful. The orange is good but not as orangey as I would like. We always get white and fried rice which are average like any Chinese restaurant. House special mei fun. Lots of chicken pork and shrimp mixed into the rice noodles. This isn't a dish that punches you in the face with flavor and is super mild. But there's something so good about it you can't stop eating it. Bbq ribs are on point. Super meaty, super saucy. Finger lickin good. Prices aren't terrible. I've seen worse. You get a good amount of food and most importantly it's consistent. I recommend giving them a shot! read more

I had to update, my good ol trusty Green Tea! This has become it, for any Chinese take out we comes here! It's delicious! Every time the food is packaged expertly, it's still hot, tasting great! I pretty much get the same thing each time cause it's just so good...cashew chicken with white rice and egg rolls. It's always fresh and big enough portions for 2 meals for me. We all love it, also the lo meins are packed into those Lil containers and very tasty also! read more

Yummy food, inexpensive and plenty of it! I get a dinner special and have more than enough for lunch the next day. Staff are friendly and service is fast. read more

This place has been a staple of mine. For years. The last meal had me with food poisoning puking and sitting on the toilet.

Today was my first time visiting Green Tea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'll be returning. I had to wait over 40 minutes because my order wasn't submitted at the register when I placed it. The food was okay, but it may have been affected by being prepared in a rush. read more

EVERYtime we're craving Chinese food, Green Tea is the spot to hit! Haven't been disappointed with their food or service yet, and have been loyal customers for 6+ years. They are closed on Tuesdays so, when we end up somewhere else we miss our Green Tea lol! read more

Officially my #1 Chinese takeout. Leagues above any other standard Chinese, I was so pleasantly surprised the first time we ordered from here! The first thing that struck me was the plentitude of fresh veggies in the lo mein. The beef and chicken teriyaki stick appetizers are both amazing and grilled to perfection, so tender and never overdone. The fried pork dumplings are also a must-order every time, the sauce is so unique and better than any other dumpling sauce I've had! I always get the Mongolian beef, the large amount of onions and scallions is my favorite part, it's just a touch spicy. The general tso's chicken, sesame chicken, Szechuan chicken have all been delicious. I look forward to trying more items each time but it's going to be hard to stray from my favorites. read more

This is the best Chinese food in Mandarin maybe the city. The food is very consistent. The only thing better than the food is the service, they are respectful and considerate. read more

Green Tea has been THE only spot that we order Chinese take out from. We have been living in the mandarin area for over 13 years and we have not found a Chinese take out place that can compare to them. Food is made to order, always fresh and hot! Family favorites are beef broccoli, shrimp in lobster sauce, beef lo main, house fried rice and crab Rangoon. Forgot to take pictures... I'll share next time! read more

Green Tea has much better fried rice than most Chinese restaurants that I have tried. Their fried chicken wing is tasty and great with fried rice. Their egg roll needs some improvement with its filling. read more

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The food is good and the staff is friendly. One of my favorites and well worth a try if you are looking for typical Chinese takeout. read more

We order from them regularly, we love them. Good food good service.. Delivery is always handy for us!

Mixed reviews...good wanton egg drop mix soup, but the moo shu pork was inedible. The meat was just fat and gristle. Other items we ordered were just fair. Will not return. read more

Wonderful fresh food, served quickly, hot, fresh and made specifically to your order! First time I'd ever tried them, definitely won't be my last! read more

I've been going here on and off for years. The last few times have been mediocre, but today's recent visit was particularly awful. I ordered three entrees for my family. My General chicken was hard and chewy. The fried rice was bland. The white rice was rock hard, and the chow mein had NO NOODLES! When I called and complained, they had the nerve to tell me that the little stale crackers that come in a bag are the noodles! I have had chow mein and lo mein for many, many years, and this was in no way chow mein. $11 for some sauteed onions and bean sprouts. What a rip-off. After this last visit, I will not be returning. They've really gone downhill. read more

This place has the best sweet and sour chicken. So many places lately have very small chicken pieces, underneath all the breading, but they are a nice size here. They even threw in an extra eggroll for free and it was delicious too. I appreciated a couple fortune cookies in the order also. The eggroll was nice and crunchy. The veggie fried rice and lo mein didn't have a lot of veggies in it. I would suggest some broccoli, snow peas or even some more carrots and peas. Next time I'll ask for more / extra veggies even if I have to pay more, or I'll add my own. read more

By far the best Chinese food in the Mandarin area!! Order from them what it feels like on a weekly basis. Can't go wrong.

Great tasting food that's very fresh and great tasting. Good prices overall & excellent customer service.

Always delicious food. We love the chicken teriyaki skewers. It can get busy but just order ahead.

Tried for the first time. Great food, good flavor and even better price! The employee was nice and welcoming. The place is small but clean, and has restroom. They have a wide variety of soda options for cheap. Recommend this place! read more

My family and I love coming here! We come here pretty often and are always satisfied! The prices are great at about $10 per dinner combination. You get your main dish, white or fried rice AND an egg roll in the combinations. We ordered 2 boneless spare ribs, a chicken lo mein and crab rangoons! You get so many rangoons, maybe 10 or so for a super low price! Everything tasted great. We will definitely be back here again in the near future! read more

The name Green Tea has been around at different places in Mandarin. The location here on San Jose Blvd and Crown Point has been awhile. Someone recommended bec I complained there is no good, close Chinese take our. Boy am I glad I did; it is my go to when I'm in the mood and I've always been pleased! I do like a bit of heat so I order whatever in "garlic sauce" oh yea..love it! Honestly I do not prefer green peppers in my options and they don't seem to use much if any. My last order: Chicken in garlic sauce had plenty of chicken and broccoli, mushrooms, pea pods, chestnuts, carrots...I'm sure more veggies but can't remember. They can be busy so call it in and be prepared to wait for it! read more

Food is always amazing and price isn't bad. The lunch special is $9 for a good size plate. Service is always great and fast.

best chinese food in town! food is quick and easy, staff is nice and welcoming. 10/10

I stopped by Green Tea for the very first time to order some House Special Fried Rice to-go. Per my observation, this place had a steady amount of foot traffic, leading me to believe the food is pretty fast and special here. And it did not take me long to get my order either.   So when I got home, I was antsy to sample a little bit of it. The rice... in layman's terms was... No Bueno. And in pasta talk, the consistency of the rice tasted "Al Dente".   Now, I may not have a PHD degree in Riceology but I do know my rice and my seeds. I have many decades of eating rice and knowing if a batch of rice is cooked, under cooked or just plain bad. This set of rice was sure a no-go in my opinion. read more

Consistent every time. Nice size portions and very friendly staff. We love this place!

Food is always good. Sometimes a bit of a wait if you have t called ahead - but it's worth it!

It is not common for local Asian restaurants here in Jacksonville to be creative with tofu, they only prepare at certain ways. So when I can request honey tofu, or orange tofu and get it I am elated. Last night I asked for the orange tofu and you know it is authentic when you actually have orange peel in it as well. The flavor was outstanding and a huge shout out for the customer service we received. I was most impressed with the one on one attention that the gentleman gave to us because of the confusion regarding the order. He took the situation was proactive and 15 minutes later we had a wonder read more

When I don't feel like cooking this is where I go to grab some chicken fried rice and noodles that my kids will actually eat without any complaints. It's hot and fresh and I don't have to do dishes so all around a win in my book. The steamed dumplings were very tasty like homemade and the fried chicken wings with the sweet and sour sauce hit the spot. Everything was fresh and hit my whole family ate for $45. We got fried rice, beef noodles, crab rangoons, dumplings and an order of chicken wings. Plenty left for lunch tomorrow too. Will definitely be back. read more

Green Tea - Standing in line to order - Chinese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

It took me a hour to choose which fast food chinese I wanted and after 60 minutea of reviews and pictures I ordered takeout from here. Sweet and sour chicken (not my usual order) with beef lo mein, a side of white rice and crab ragoons. The sweet and sour chicken was a bit hard, the beef lo mein was just okay (it had a flavor I wasn't familiar with) but at least the crab ragoons had enough cream cheese. The food was just okay, I should've ordered the cashew chicken because I believe I would've been more satisfied, but you live and you learn. Portland is always in the back of my mind when I think about chinese and it always set me up for failure. This is a place I'd be okay never returning to. read more

I know Erica has probably written at least one review about Green Tea, but let me know tell how much I love it. Normally we're a pseudo lazy family so I like to call in my order for delivery. I am always greeted by a FRIENDLY (goes a long way) voice, QUICK delivery and DELICIOUS food. Most people do not get full off Chinese take out, however if I eat one shrimp egg roll I'm good. Speaking of the egg rolls...I have never seen such large shrimp in an egg roll! My wife is doing Keto so we always have special orders. They always get the orders correct and my fried rice is never greasy. So to sum it all up, they meet the needs that every take out establishment should strive for Friendly, Quick and Delicious food. read more

Great food, large portions, good price. Extremely good customer service over the phone as well.

Wow. Been driving but for years but always on my way to somewhere else. Finally stopped and it was so good. Tried salmon and green curry tofu. I highly recommend both read more

Hands down the best Chinese takeout spot I've ever encountered. The food is always delicious and freshly made. The customer service is awesome, very nice and polite people every time I call to order even if they're very busy. The restaurant is clean and organized. I love this place. 10/5 stars read more

Offer delivery service! Food is great. Hire someone to deliver if they want to use delivery service.

Food wasn't that great was overcooked I ended up tossing half of what I bought. I don't think I would go back there again.

If you're questioning if you should order from Green Tea the answer is definitely heck yeahhh. It takes a bit of calling to get through to them sometimes because they are pretty busy because anyone who tries this place once is a repeat offender. I know i know.. you're thinking yellow rice!? I was too, but I think I'm converted! Their fried rice is full of flavor and is so light and fluffy that you can't shovel it in fast enough! The Sweet n Sour Chicken, Honey Chicken and crab Rangoons are our faves! read more
