Wish I had taken a photo of this takeout. Since moving to Nola 2 years ago from NY we had not been able to find "our" Chinese takeaway. This is it, and it's better than our NY favorite. We ordered the Mongolian beef (absolutely insane) it was tender and flavorful and loaded with veg &flavor. We also got the orange chicken which was the most citrusy orange chicken I've ever had - and the breading was light (not that clunky type you get normally) and retained its crispiness for hours. The egg rolls were awesome, we got one chicken and one pork. Both were excellent; but if I had to choose it would be the pork - meaty and crispy. Lastly, the pièce de résistance was the pork lo mein. The chew to the noodle, not overdone and soggy, absolutely divine. Salty and savory and the overall perfect accompaniment to the meal. Honestly it could stand alone as a full meal. This is the type of restaurant that makes you log in to yelp for the first time in 4 years to post a review. (But is also one I want to keep secret because it's too yummy!) What I'm excited to try next: egg drop soup, any beef dish, and the crab Rangoons. Thank you green tea, we are so glad to have found you! you'll be seeing us weekly! read more

We ordered delivery from Uber eats and we're sorely disappointed. On Uber Eats this place is listed as one of the best. Overall. the average of three stars on Yelp is far more accurate. I believe there's a reason that the owner hasn't claimed his yelp page. simply put, they don't want to know what people think. The general tso was a bizarre heavily breaded plate of shrimp. The breading was so heavy that you had to pick it off to find the shrimp which were then drastically overcooked. The dumplings weren't bad, which is the only reason they are getting two stars instead of one read more

Ordered the moo shoo special. It was mushy salty mess. Ate a serving thru wee ing the rest away.

We won't order from Green Tea again. Food was okay. Delivery was bad. Uber Eats delivered by bike, in the rain. Food took a long time to get delivered, sauces were spilled everywhere in the bag, everything was warm at best. Delivery person also tried to hand me someone's CVS packages in addition to mine, insisting it was mine. Now I know why it took so long, I know the CVS he stopped at on the way. Did I say we won't order from again? read more

First time ordering here, we got the hot and sour which was good....just had a lot of carrots in there for some reason. The shrimp fried rice was good also and shrimp lo mein was good too. We ordered it on DoorDash so we had a coupon too, pretty good for late night eats !!! read more

The food is good, the employees are helpful and for takeout we find it really convenient.

This place has come in clutch more time than I can count. We love a late night delivery from them. I think we've tried about 70% of their menu items. Chicken on a stick is our go to app. For the entrees it just depends on the day. You can't go wrong with whichever you decide on. The prices aren't bad either. read more

Ordered via uber eats because they had a two for one special on chicken plates and everything came right and hot. I would order again when in the mood for Chinese takeout. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. read more

The food was terrible and really didn't have any distinct flavors. A lot of people were frustrated waiting the lobby because so many over eats order were being processed but the in person orders were coming much slower. Pretty basic restaurant nothing fancy inside worth looking at. read more

I discovered Green Tea on a dark, windy night before the hurricane. I wanted comfort Chinese food but also something that I could eat cold for leftovers if the power went out. From the moment I tasted their hot and sour soup, I knew I would be a Green Tea to go regular. The reason I like the hot and sour soup here is that it has a strong and savory broth that isn't crowded out by lumps of chicken or bamboo shoots. It has the right amount of everything. I also like the ordering plan. Choose your sauce, then your protein, rice, and soup. The online order site is easy to use and service is fast. I've tried the spring rolls, the shrimp egg rolls, and the crab rangoon. They are good but I'm still looking for the appetizer add-on that's out of this world. I've tried the shrimp with garlic sauce, Hunan beef, and cashew chicken. All delicious. read more

My first time here, I ordered sesame tofu and Singapore noodles. both were great and together are enough food for 4 meals. The google listing is wrong, it says they are closed at 7pm on a Saturday. Glad I called to check. The desk clerk / waiter was friendly too. I will be back. Listing also says cash only but I paid by credit card. Silly google. read more

Green Tea - Mongolian chicken - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Delicious. It's classic, greasy Chinese, which is just what I wanted that night. They had my delivery order out fast, and the sizes and prices were great! My friend was actually treating me to this order, and she was questioning whether the price was even right for so much food and kept telling me to order more. The crab rangoons were simple but divine. The sesame tofu and fried rice were my favorites. I'd say the orange tofu was pretty good, too, but also had a slightly artificial orange aftertaste, which makes me think the sauce uses concentrate. Again, totally edible, just not my favorite dish. I'll likely order from them again. They provide great value and satisfying comfort food. read more

The good aspect of Green Tea is their set meals which are cost effective for the student life. It comes with fried rice, egg rolls, soup, and an entree. The food was just okay. Service is fast and the food comes out quickly. The fried sweet and sour pork pieces were the best part to me. Portions were large and plentiful. This is a large restaurant with tons of seating and parking. There are regular customers and people coming in and out for take-out. This seemed like a family owned restaurant because their kids were doing homework or running around next to me. Tl;dr: good quick, standard Americanized Chinese menu. Great for take-out and a quick meal. Get the set meals. read more

I love this spot, some of the best Chinese food can be found here! I remember when they were located on Louisiana Ave years ago. The quality of the food is high and they give you huge portions for the price. The staff are always kind and professional. One of my favorite dishes is their Four Seasons, packed with so much flavor. Out of all the restaurants that serve this dish, Green Tea's is my absolute favorite. read more

Green Tea - Lg Mai Fun Combination - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My first foray into New Orleans' Chinese takeout scene was not bad. Portion size matters for cheap takeout, and I ordered three dishes expecting to get at least three solid meals for what I paid. It will end up being at least four as I still haven't finished it yet. Some of the vegetable choices weren't to my liking, but I would note that they offer you the option to simply customize your dish, saying exactly what vegetables and sauce you'd like, which I did for one dish and it came out fine. A few vegetables were a tad sketchy looking, and asking for extra spicy generated a perceptible but unimpressive burn. They seemed well optimized for takeout, were ready within the 10-15 minute window they promised for an online order, and rather than giving you cutlery had a station where you could pick up what you need (or not, avoiding waste). Assuming you're not expecting anything more than basic American Chinese takeout, it's all good. read more

Food is mid, service is v slow and I would not recommend eating in. Delivery might be the fastest option and your best bet for competent service. Took them 20 minutes to make two boba smoothies. Food was cold by the time we left. The waitress barely paid attention to their one table, and both her and the other guy working the front of house were slow moving and did not seem to care about their job at all. Waitress gave us dirty looks the second we walked in, and it took her almost 20 minutes of us sitting there for her to realize we still needed a drink that her colleague abandoned without communicating. Extremely disappointing. read more

You know that moment where you order takeout and the person who picks up the phone recognizes your voice and tells you what you're ordering? Well that was me with Green Tea. Food: They have high quality Chinese American food. They don't have much in the way of Chinese Chinese food, but this was the go to whenever I craved Sesame Chicken with Vegetable Lo Mein. That's all I ever had so I can't really comment on the other dishes. Service: Solid. No complaints. Bathrooms in the back. Lots of parking in the front. read more

We ordered food here because I heard that it was good. We also ordered rice, soups, an egg roll and spring rolls. I also said how can you mess up rice and soups to my man. Guess what !?, they managed to. We ordered shrimp fried rice add chicken which we paid for. There were no eggs in the rice which are specified as an ingredient and we didn't have any chicken which we paid for. 2 duck sauces were included with an order that had a large rice 3 spring rolls and a large egg roll, not enough, to say the least. Overall it wasn't good and we were cheated out of food that we paid for. Never again. You can keep this crap. I really want all of my money back. read more

this used to be really good chinese food. they say that management didn't change, but the space has been cut in half and redesigned so it is more contemporary. the food does not have that same authentic flavor it used to have. it matters not what we had, none of it was anything to write home about. i will say that the beef is now cut MUCH thinner than they used to. the first plate it was so thin that it was hard and crispy. we complained and they did remake it, which we appreciate, but it just was not the same at all. service is good, staff is all very friendly and accommodating. management just needs to address the food. read more

Green Tea is a quiet, nice little shop to go to if you're looking for something quick. There was hardly anyone here when we went so if you're looking for an atmosphere it may be hit or miss. There was only one waitress when we went but she was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. The small food portions are a good size, so if you don't eat much that will be your best bet. Large portions are, well, large so if you're very hungry one large dish may do you well. Overall the food was decent and well prepared! read more

Green Tea - Small Egg Drop Soup & Large Wonton Soup - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love Green Tea so much. I've been going since they first opened on Louisiana at Magazine...and I consider it destiny that they reopened on Napoleon at Claiborne a mere half mile from my house. Everything here is good, but I'll just get the mediocre part of my review out of the way now--the fried rice is hit or miss, which I hate. There I said it. Everything else is consistently delicious. They deliver, which is a rare treat in the area, and you can order online for those days when you're trying to keep human interaction to a minimum. They have a wide selection of standard Chinese take-away fare, including individual portions as well as combination plates and lunch/dinner specials. But! They also have the "GT Way", which I love! You basically get to build your own entree from the ground up. Meat, sauce, veggies (of which there are many), preparation method, sides, add-ons. It's amazing. The portions are very generous and the staff is very accommodating with questions and special orders. As much as I love their take-away/delivery, I also love to eat in. The dining area is very comfortable, they have a few TV's to keep you entertained if you're dining alone, and they have a drink machine so you can keep yourself in fountain sodas the whole time. I highly recommend Green Tea, whether you get delivery or carry it out, and if you ever have the time, you should definitely try eating in--it's a completely different food experience. read more

Mediocre American Chinese food. Big portions. The value is ok, but it is rather bland.

I had the spicy chicken and shrimp with brown rice and it was great! The order was ready on time and delicious.

I love you green tea, you're here for me when I'm sad you're here for me when I'm happy, most of all you're here for me when I'm hungry. Best of all you have a parking lot, and super easy access to uptown, mid city and also central city. Idk what I would have down without you when I didn't have anything for dinner planned and have had a long day from work. Green tea is a Chinese take out place which is located right on the corner of Napoleon and Claiborne. Inside decorated with Asian paintings, they also have seating available if you want to dine in as well. I usually just call ahead and grab and go. They tell you 15mins but honesty my food has always been ready when I've arrived a little early. So, service is good. They greet you when you enter and if you don't have a clue on what to order they have menus available and they'll give you time to look. I got the fried rice one time thar flavor was nothing to rave about, I usually get their chicken wings. Those things are my guilty pleasure. They come with a choice for French fries or rice or Noods. This time I got the French fries and boy it was a good choice. Now I know what you're thinking, ordering fries and wings at a Chinese spot?! Yeah ok, judge me, ONLY after you try their wings though. I keep coming back for more this is my go to spot. read more

Don't tip online because they will still offer to add a tip to your bill. I accidentally put in another tip since the screen came up and I told them it needed to come off. They told me to run it through but never took it off. 25% gratuity for takeout. Never again read more

Food was pretty good. Quick and filling Chinese food. They didn't do as much pork as I liked but I eat a lot. Crab Rangoon sauce was amazing! Definitely a good place for fast easy Chinese takeout. read more

This place was great when it opened and made the effort to get Chinese food solely from Green Tea but the quality has gone down over time, 2-3 months. The fried rice today was stale if not hard to eat, the chicken was glued together like a brick by the sauce, and the chicken itself felt like a rock. However, the wonton soup was good. Love this place for what it use to be but just sad and disappointed for what it's become. This place has a lot of potential and when it first opened it had the best Chinese food in the city. I encourage management to reach out to me and I'm not looking for a freebie, I pay for my food. I just want good food. I'll rather let management know and maybe this post can get this place, and the food, back to what it use to be. read more

Ordered my food online which is an automatic up charge for the added fees. Literally got a plate of chicken. No rice. No broccoli really. And my food seems old. Did I catch you all on a bad day/time? I usually order from here but have always picked up. I decided to use their delivery service because I am usually satisfied with my food, but tonight y'all have failed me. Can't really say a plate of chicken and chicken only is appetizing. read more

Great quality and reasonable prices. We had two of the usual take out combo meals and you can't ask for anything more. We ordered Tsos chicken and orange chicken, Asian comfort food. It was fresh, nicely spiced and really tasty. Easily enough for two meals. The delivery service delivered ahead of schedule, another plus. read more
