“ Maybe the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to I moved to new Britain from Wallingford a few years ago and new Britain Chinese isn't it at all. Wallingford and Cheshire were the best in my opinion, until I tried green tea out here . The crab Rangoons are so creamy and delicious , plenty of filling , the egg fu young with white rice or the bone in bbq spare ribs with pork fried rice are always the go to for me , I definitely recommend trying this place. ”

“ Really good, always delicious food. I really like the option of organic brown rice instead of white rice. Glad Green Tea is located close by. ”

“ This place can be a hit or miss. We went for lunch and was best pu pu platter we ever had at this place. We did couple lunches too which ended up being dinner. The waitress was funny and kind as well. Much better than last time we were there which was "mid". ”

“ I visited this establishment for a family get together. We sat upstairs which was nice and private. We had pre picked the menu items so I only tried. Few things. The taste was good and fresh. If the rest of the food is like this than I will be excited to try more. Waitstaff was friendly. Price average. Overall happy visit. ”

“ It's been a couple of years since my last review, so I thought I'd update. My wife and I eat here pretty regularly and I would say that this place is still consistently great! The food is delicious, portions are generous, restaurant is spotless and the staff is so efficient and friendly. ”

“ Firecracker chicken and Cantonese pan fried noodles with pork...all good..open late.. If only they had upped the spice levels as requested this late night meal would have been awesome!!! ”

“ "But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the buttons on 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 ”
