If you’re looking for great Chinese in Oakleigh then this is the place to go too. At Tea Garden you can dine in or there are take away options. I always love getting Special Fried Rice and Singapore Noodles 😁
This little gem tucked away in a corner of a major intersection in Chadstone/Oakleigh is worth a visit. If you want to snag a parking space, then maybe come for an early dinner. The food is really good, but parking can be a problem.
I've been several times over the years here, and the food is always consistently good and satisfying. The service is sometimes a little slow and not always do the meals come out at the same time. There has been a time or two in the past when one person at the table was forced to eat ahead of the others because their meals weren't out, and it kind of defeats the purpose of going to eat out together, but of late, it has vastly improved. Perhaps they've changed hands, but either way, it's definitely better than years ago (so give it another try if that put you off coming here).
I usually order the Battered Chicken in Mandarin Sauce (pictured here but without capsicum, which is why it looks bare), or the Chicken Fried Rice. Also pictured here is the Deep Fried Ice Cream which I love. Not the best I've ever had, but quite good for sure.
I think the pricing of the food is good, the polite - if not spotty - service is good (overall), and it's not one of those restaurants where you're rushed out of the door. If you're looking for homey/comforting Chinese food, then this is the place to come!
My 4.5 stars out of 5 is based on this restaurant at its best. It is so hit and miss, one night you might get a hit and boy when u do is it amazing, chicken is actual chicken like most of their other meats. Tasty and fresh ingredients, crispy and light batter. So thats on the hit nights, the miss nights are still better than most other local asian places but there food for some reason just doesnt seem as fresh and the dishes take so long to come out! but i do recommend and i do enjoy eating here!!
