All were really good! Each dish came out fresh and hot from the kitchen. Each dish came out when it was ready vs all at once which was nice and added to the freshness. For main dishes, the table had, Chong Qin Style Fried Chicken, Thai Chicken Curry and Kung Pao Chicken. I had the Chong Qin Chicken. It was good! Had a nice kick to it for spice. Had a nice breading to it; crispy texture and good flavor. We did a bit of sharing at the table and both the Thai Chicken Curry and Kung Pao were good. The Curry was served in what looked like a bubbling cauldron! Really nice presentation. Service was friendly, attentive and helpful. The menu is impressive! They have typical American Chinese food. But deeper in the menu, they have some actual Chinese food. It's worth exploring. I would like to come back and try some additional dishes!

I am a healthy person with a normal digestive system but the next day, all hell broke loose, and I do mean loose. The food tasted o.k. but there was speculation on my part that something was just not right after the next morning.

"I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think…read moretwice, it's all right" (Bob Dylan) We visited Yue Se twice for takeout. Visit #1 was for steamed pork dumplings, and two soups -Won Ton and Hot & Sour. The six dumplings ($6) were fantastic. Plenty of overall size with a thin noodle wrap, and a wonderful meat filling. I detected some diced water chestnuts in the filling which gave the dish a nice crunch. The dipping sauce that came with the dumplings was exceptional, so all in all, this was a fantastic dish. The Won Ton soup ($3.50) was stocked with five huge wontons, more than you usually see in comparable containers. And Lord oh Lord was my H&S soup ($3.75) excellent. Never mind that it was meatless, it was by far one of the very spiciest H&S soups I ever had, and that was fine with me. I can't tell you how much I loved it. Visit #2 was for two of their $8.99 Box Lunches, and they are quite a deal. You get one of 21 entrees plus fried rice and an egg roll. The $8.99 base price is for a chicken or tofu or vegetarian dish; upgrades to pork or beef or shrimp will be a buck or two more. Similarly, the $8.99 base price is for plain fried rice, but you can upgrade to beef or shrimp fried rice for $3 more. My wife ordered Snow Pea Chicken and I went for the Mongolian Beef prepared hot and spicy. My Box Lunch was excellent. The egg roll was full-sized, and not the slimmed down mini version you sometimes see in a lunch special. Yes, it was mostly cabbage, but tasted great and wasn't greasy at all. My Mongolian Beef was a winner with plenty of delicious and tender thinly sliced beef mixed in with onions, scallions, and peppers. It was prepared hot and spicy, and I loved it. Oh, and the lunch had plenty of fried rice too. The meals were so generously portioned that we each had half and will finish them up in a day or two. So that means we'll get 4 servings for about $20 total. And how can any Asian food loving Yelper argue with that?

Our usual order is pretty consistent: roast pork fried rice, General Tso's, egg rolls, white rice, chicken lo mein, and crab rangoon. We know exactly what it's supposed to taste like, which is why the last few orders have stood out. There's been a noticeable decline. The lo mein noodles seem smaller than they used to be. The fried rice came out sloppily cooked -- it honestly still tasted like plain white rice, with none of the wok flavor that used to make it worth ordering. And the General Tso's didn't taste fresh the way it always had; it came across as sitting rather than made to order. I'm writing this as a longtime customer, not a one-off complaint. We've spent a lot of money here over the better part of a decade because the food earned it. I'm hoping this is a temporary dip -- a kitchen change, a busy stretch, something fixable -- and that the quality comes back to what it was. We'd love to keep ordering.

I had the Basic beef offering and my wife had one of their signature bowls and inhaled it and she is a slow eater and I never caught the name it so sorry about the but definitely don't pass up on giving this place a try.

"But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the buttons…read moreon your green shirt" (Elvis Costello) We had a very interesting lunch visit to Green Tea on Sunday. It was so interesting that I'm breaking down this review into things that went well and things that have improvement opportunities. What Went Well 1) Complimentary Duck Sauce and wide noodles -you don't see these much any more, and they were addictively good. 2) They have weekend Lunch Specials! In fact they have 28 of them and all are around $10. Five of the 28 are Thai dishes. All lunch specials include a choice of rices and a soup. 3) The food was fantastic! My Hot and Sour soup (even though meatless) was about as jam packed with veggies and egg threads and tofu as any I've had. Very nicely spiced. Simply put, I loved it. My Thai Massaman Curry with Beef was also fantastic. The beef slices were so tender and delicious, the curry sauce was amazing, the vegetables (beans, corn, broccoli, red pepper and some pineapple) were great, and even the brown rice was perfect. What Has Room For Improvement 1) Our dining room experience was marred by how noisy the handful of bar patrons and staff were. The dining room and bar areas are one big open space, only separated by Covid partitions, so the loud yapping from about 20 feet away came rolling over the partitions right at us. We heard non stop chatter from one loud patron talking about driving, her daughter's driver ed, her encounter with a police officer for a speeding violation, and on and on ad nauseum. The chatter included some of the Green Tea staff who apparently didn't think they had other responsibilites, such as clearing off a vacated table, taking our order ("sorry, I didn't know you were there"), or bringing our food out in a timely manner, because 2) Our lunch came out warm, not hot. No doubt it was sitting in the kitchen slowly coming to room temperature while our server was occupied elsewhere. 3) General communication between the host, server and kitchen was poor. We were seated and given menus by the host right away, but he apparently never told our server we were there, and she never peeked into the dining room until I gave her the fish-eyed stare in a gap between the Covid partitions. And then there was the temperature of the food..... So although the food was fantastic, the experience was not. The food saved this from being a 3 star review

Crazy/Drunken noodles are not: They're Chinese Chow Foon, and they weren't that good. Couldn't eat half of it. Scallops in garlic sauce? Avoid The scallops had a funny taste. Stale? Bleh.... And the icing on the cake: The only waitress got into a yelling contest with one of the employees. (owner?). They were screaming at each other and everyone in the dining room could hear it... It reminded me of some episodes of Kitchen Nightmare. I was expecting Gordon Ramsay to come out any minute, but no. Once was enough. Plenty of other (hopefully better) options less than 5 minutes from there.

My husband got Lemon Chicken. He said it was tasty, but overcooked/tough. Also, they hardly put any lemon sauce on the chicken. He had to ask for more sauce. I got the Kung Pao Chicken. It didn't have much flavor and even less sauce. It had so much cut up celery, that that was the predominant flavor. I would have given this a 3 star rating, if the prices were not so exorbitantly expensive. The Kung Pao Chicken (at lunch on a Saturday) was $17.99. Every other Chinese restaurant I've eaten at charges $11.00 at the very most for the exact same dish, with a larger portion of rice. We were both very disappointed.
