My wife and I have been coming here for years and it was always great, over the past 6m the quality has went downhill the servers are rude and preoccupied.
The wonton soup was greasy and tasteless, the chef special orange chicken was over cooked and rubbery and tasted like burnt oranges.
Please avoid and try a panda china meal from you grocers freezer.
My husband and I eat here regularly...usually once a week! Â Regarding the comments about the staff, they do not go out of their way to be overly nice to you, but they have never been rude to us. Â We like to recommend the pineapple chicken, very delicious. Â Plus it is nice to go there in the spring and summer and sit outside with our dog. Â Definitely a must try.
Review Source:I will not be going back. The wait staff are rude. My order was for a spicy dish and I asked for less spice but it was so spicy I couldn't even eat it. My daughters beef and broccoli was good but does not make up for the VERY STRANGE STAFF! When we were seated the hostess/waitress stopped at another single diner's table and reached across him and grabbed his menu as she was taking us to our table. She sat us at a booth and handed us the one menu she had just taken from the other diner. My daughter and I just looked at eachother like, What just happened?!" The waitress then asked us what we wanted to order. We told her that we would need a few minutes to look over the menu which she seemed put out about and walked away. This experience continued on in the same weird way so no need to explain more. I just won't go back.
Review Source:Having moved to Kentucky from Southern California we sought out for a place that had boba (pearl tea) and found this place.
This small cafe is really clean and has a good atmosphere, but we were really disappointed with the poor service and over priced pseudo chinese food. The server who, was an older Chinese woman, was really short with us and when I asked her a question about their boba she looked at me as if I was dumb for asking. Interestingly we were the only asian costumers in the restaurant and it seemed like she was MUCH more polite to the other caucasian customers. Odd, but I don't care enough to come up with possible reasons for that.
Next time I'll settle with just making boba at home and going to PF Chang's for overpriced "fusion" chinese food especially since I'll probably get much better service there anyways.
Tea Station is my new favorite chinese place. Â I received several recommendations from friends and decided to check it out myself. Â Our food was wonderful as well as the service. Â My orange beef was amazing- not too fried and greasy but the perfectc combination of spice and sweetness. Â Everyone else at my table also loved what they ordered. Â I do not live that close to Tea Station but it is such a treat to drive there and have dinner in Norton Commons - feels like a nice little get away and a wonderful weep priced meal.
Review Source:2nd visit was today, again for Sunday lunch. Â
Phoenix soup is delicious. Â The menu says it's for 2, but you could easily stretch it to feed 3-4 people. Â It's a light and savory broth with tender chicken, shrimp, and vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts). Â
This time I got Hunan Chicken for my entree. Â I am a fan! Â Good mix of chicken and vegetables in a zesty brown sauce. Â Avoid the hot peppers if you don't want to spend the rest of your meal cooling your tongue with gulps of ice water. Â
By special request I checked the tea menu this time. Â Lots of hot tea and a good deal of bubble tea will quell any thirst you might have at the Tea Station. Â Next time I will try not to overdo it on soup and entrees so I can give the bubble teas a try!
I have been here countless times since my first review. Â The food is pretty consistently good, however I have to take away a star because of the very inconsistent service. Â When the owners are running the show their aren't usually any problems, but when it is run by the high school wait staff then it is a different story. Â I usually get takeout from here and on multiple occasions I have had things missing from my carry out order or told X minutes until my order would be ready and waited an additional 15 min before they came out with my order. Â These are not good qualities when handling takeout orders.
Review Source:Better than PF Changs at half the price!
I've heard about this place for over a year. Â My wife and her friends were raving about how good the food was. Â I relucantly went with her 6 months ago and was very impressed.
The place appears family-run and is very clean. Â The waitresses are all friendly and attentive. Â
We started with hot and sour soup and were wowed! Â This is truly the best hot and sour I've ever had. Â The egg rolls came next and were perfectly crisp and the duck sauce had garlic bits for dipping - yum! Â The meal was seztuan (sp?) beef and fried rice. Â The quality off the food is off the hook people!
I've tried the mongolian beef, kung pao chicken and beef, garlic chicken and loved them all.
I recently brought my buddies there for lauch - great prices and the same fantastic food! Â Everyone I know who has dined at Tea Station loved it.
This place makes me want to live in Norton Commons.
I actually came to this place just for the boba. I wanted to have my mom try it, since she's never had boba before. She ordered the strawberry milk tea, and I had the almond milk tea. Both were quite good, but the texture/taste of tapioca balls was not the best.
Besides the boba, we ordered a chicken dish, which was quite tasty. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and quality were very good.
MR says ... best pearl tea drink in the city :)
MRS says ... we searched for this place after someone told us about their pearl tea. for those who don't know what this pearl tea drink here's a wikipedia page: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBubble_tea&s=0c9d800bc07914f4f68eea636370807cf444db1d295e043ed8d63ee52b0803f6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/…</a>
to-go pearl tea drink tastes better than dine-in. i don't know why but quality is better when the pearl tea drink is in the cup with plastic cellophane.
after many trips to this restaurant just for pearl tea drinks (main reason why we're giving this 4stars), we tried their food.
surprisingly their sushi wasn't that bad.
it was actually fresh and nicely presented.
for a chinese restaurant ~ we're impressed.
we had some duck, beef brisket, and chicken.
we love the chicken. it was like filipino style chicken adobo. very tasty. perfect over rice.
then of course we had pearl tea drink.
this chinese restaurant specializes in taiwanese cuisine.
food is ok. i like spicy food so im selective on what to eat.
portion may not be as generous but for the price its ok.
i invite you to try their pearl tea drink (slush or not) especially this summer months. really addictive and cool.
Not impressed, very average, very bland. I would have ordered off the Chinese menu, but there is no English translation. I had the Hot Pot, which was just a normal corn starch thickened broth with some veggies and meat that they through into a pot before serving. Â In my experience a hot pot is a stew with a rich broth, with meats, vegetables. My mother got a tofu salad, which was just some bagged romaine lettuce topped with some soggy fried tofu. The options for dressing, I'm not kidding, were, ranch, thousand island, french, and honey mustard, SERIOUSLY. Even worse, we could see the waitress emptying out a bottle of Ken's Steakhouse salad dressing for it. I guess they're catering to their clientele, but I'll never be back. Jasmine's, Jade Palace, Oriental House are some better options, to name a few.
Review Source:This is a great place for authentic Chinese Food and very romantic. Â The owners Paul and Amy are very sweet and friendly. Â The decor is extremely nice and romantic, not your typical chinese dive. Â
Make sure to ask them for food off of the chinese menu for the real stuff!!! Â And for desert, get some of their (boba) bubble tea. Â
I have had bubble tea in DC, San Francisco and L.A. and this place is the best I've ever had. Â It helps that most of the staff is from Tawain where bubble tea originated. Â My favorite is the Sweet MElon Flavor and add the Tapioca .. Other places in Louisville have tried to serve bubble tea but i have been very dissapointed in the taste and quality..
To call this place just "Chinese" would be a sin. This place is just about the only "real" Chinese in Louisville. Such expertly perfected and tasteful dishes with such authentic pan-Asian flavors that your taste buds are thrust soulfully on an east bound journey.
Check this place out if you really want to know the true authentic Chinese flavors that your favorite Chinese restaurant have been hiding from your pallet. No MSG.
