Tea House - Lakewood

Looking for a really good Chinese place that has pepper steak. Nobody has pepper steak out here. Came here because of the reviews 2 IMPORTANT things to know 1. It’s Cash ONLY and it’s a ATM located around the corner in the hall in case you forget! 2. It’s located inside the food court we didn’t know that and walked thru the entire shopping center several times before we found it. I almost gave up got some tacos and a torta but we found it. It was a bit of a line but it moved very fast. They give you a little keychain with a number on it while you wait. Our wait was like 12 mins. While we waited we saw her bring out a big ol bowl of their seafood noodle soup and OMG it looked and smelled so amazing. We will definitely be getting that on our next trip. The garlic fried chicken was hot and crunchy. You can definitely taste the garlic it was good and not too overpowering. The house fried rice had chicken, beef and shrimp. It was well seasoned but texture wise it felt like it had a gravy in it. Still tasty even though it isn’t what we are used to. Now for the pepper steak. What we made the trip for in the 1st place. It was delicious. The beef didn’t have a wired taste to it like everyone else’s beef n broccoli. The onions and peppers were perfectly cooked. Soft but still had a bit of a crunch to it when you bite into it. The gravy was delicious as well. I’d come back for the wings and pepper steak alone but I’m very interested in that seafood noodle soup. Check this place out. They definitely have some interesting stuff in the shopping center too.

I ordered chicken wings and chicken fried rice. Great prices, quick service and the food was even better. I've been here several times over the years and this was my first time ordering food. Several restaurants and a wide variety of food!

Place is in the food court of an older third world style mall. Place is older and you can see the cooking. Because it is older it looks dirty but I don't think so. Food is great. I have eaten here several times before covid. If you don't care what the place looks like it is inexpensive the food is good and get it to go.

No pics was to hungry to remember. We only always go here to order the Garlic chicken wings and it's never just one order. On Sunday we order a total of 6 orders because our family loves them and to be honest it didn't last long at all. We got the Combo fried rice and it wasn't the same, it might be because on top of our big order they must of felt rushed but I don't know. I still recommend to stop by when you're in town. They do have other delicious food as well.

The food has always been good only thing that suck is they are closed on Sundays. I been going for 9 years now and the prices are so F**ken great in comparison to everything else.
