The service here was horrible, the lady there threw our food around and used obscene language to us as we walked out for not putting the extra chair back.

I went here a lot 1-3 years ago, but stopped because the waitstaff was a little not so nice. As well as the building was in disrepair. I just recently stopped a couple times in the last few weeks and the waitstaff was kind and she actually smiled :) The bathroom floors have been fixed and its well noticed. Still not a beautiful place, but the food was spot on and the repairs as well as the waitress and her son were both pleasant! wtg! will be back as a regular again. I never left a review previously even when things were going bad, but if you had a bad experience you should probably try it again as it seems things have changed!

The food was really good, probably the best I've ever had, especially compared to other places. We didn't spend much, and the portions were big enough for me, my wife, and our best friend.The service was quick, but the server seemed a bit in a hurry to get back to her phone. Still, she was nice and not too pushy.I hope more people start going to this place. It's one of those little, underrated spots that don't get enough attention.

The first time I tried this place, the shrimp was pure mush and the curry was slightly flavored coconut milk. A couple months later I decided to give them another go and try a simple lunch combo. I tried to order two different things off their lunch special menu and the lady on the phone rudely told me they don't have that. After I asked about another item on their menu, she got mad and hung up on me. Very rude! I was trying to order off their own menu. The only thing they have going for them is how cheap they are, but life is too short to eat bad food and deal with difficult people.

We always order out from Green Tea. I think we dined in once. They are frighteningly fast. It has never taken more than 10 minutes from the time we call to when the food is ready. The quality is very good. I especially like the Kung pao chicken.

Your average Americanized Chinese food. Nothing spectacular, but the prices can't be beat when you're a broke college student wanting some tasty, warm food.Vegetarian options: Some decent tofu options.

How is this restaurant open? The curry was like water and no flavor. The fried rice was just yellow rice without eggs or anything in it- awful. The hot and sour soup was gelatinous no flavor and inedible. The woman working there was rude. The inside is dreary. We were the only ones there…should have been a red flag. It literally was the worst food and service I’ve had in a very long time. Do yourself a favor….do not waste your time or money here. It was beyond disappointing.

I ordered the tofu green curry. Unfortunately, it didn't really have any flavor or spice to it. I think they used water and coconut milk instead of a flavourful stock. It was also WAY TOO SWEET. The price and portion size were great, and I had a nice waiter. The atmosphere is typical of an Asian restaurant in the Midwest.

Food has way too much sauce, could not finish. The old lady was extremely rude to my daughter and I. Lots of my friends have complained to me about her after I told them of my experience. She was trying to bully me into tipping on my card. I called her out on her bs when she said tipping was required, it was just my daughter and I there and the bill was less than $20. I usually tip in cash and would have left a $5 had she not try to lie about restaurant policy, harass me all the way back to my table, and then acted like a poor excuse for a human being in front of my 4 year old child. She said a lot of things but the only thing I understood from her was "next time don't come back," and honestly I will never be back. Not a very family friendly place and especially not good to take kids. The place is not the same place it was when I went to high school at SPASH.
I usually went here quite a bit but I got the Sweet and Sour chicken meal. None of it was fresh, the meat tasted off and the pineapple and veggies tasted like they were near rotten. The sauce was not fresh either, it had odd chunks and tasted very off as well.

Fried rice is not fried, more like boiled and the chicken is also boiled and chewy.Pad Thai has some flavor but the chicken is chewy.NOT AUTHENTIC FOOD!!I hate leaving bad reviews but this was a waste of my time and money. I’m very disappointed and will not be returning.

One of my favorites in town. Yummy Chinese and Thai at a reasonable price and you get your food in 15 minutes. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Many dishes can be made with tofu.Kid-friendliness: Great place to take kids. This is where mine learned to eat broccoli.Parking: There is street parking in front and parking in the lot through the alley.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice wide entrance with no steps. Easy to get a wheelchair around inside.

I ordered the tofu pad si ew and it was alright! Very cheap prices, you get what you pay for. My biggest gripe was probably the ambience. As soon as I walked into the restaurant it smelled like shit...like, literal human feces. Probably a questionable choice on my part to dine in anyway, but I was starving. The lighting and seating aren't exactly welcoming either. The staff were short with me, but not unkind. Maybe worth a takeout order, but for the smell alone I probably wouldn't come back again :(
