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!!
Went here for Yum Cha recently and it was quite busy. It's a rather small place with a lot of tables so there isn't a lot of space for the usual Yum Cha trolleys. Instead, waiters come around with food on little trays - only problem is that by the time they reach you, the food you want is gone, taken by the tables before you. In the end, you take what you can get and left wanting. Service is friendly and accommodating enough. Food although on the pricier side, is pretty decent. Plump delicious dumplings, lots of fried options, only just ok chicken feet - not enough variety as usual standard dishes weren't on offer.
A friend put me onto this place. It was definitely okay Chinese, I wouldn't rave about it, but I also wouldn't rant about it. It was nice, good, standard Chinese food. A bit expensive all things considered but one of the better places in the area.
Our ultimate go-to yum cha place, after trying out a number of well known yum cha places. Tea Garden is more like a boutique restaurant with nice and bright setting. Being a Cantonese, it’s fair to say that foods at Tea Garden are consistently great (not like other yum cha places whose foods are oily and heavy). Two of my young kids enjoy the foods too. Highly recommended!
Since the lobster was really cheap compared with few years back during the Christmas 2020, had one and I was amazed. Ordered lobster at other restaurants later on but never tasted so good compared with here. I’ve been here many times and this place always fascinates me.
Dinner tonight after a really tough day at Tea Garden in Hughsdale/Oakleigh under the Punt Hill Apartments. Absolutely beautiful, the food is 5 star and so are the staff. Decided following every hospital hell we will stay here and eat there every night.

Exceptional value and quick service! The staff were always by your side without being pestering. Will be dining here again for sure! But will remember to make a reservation as it was very popular!
