Stopped by this place because another foodie told us we can’t miss their duck noodle soup so we HAD to try it. I would’ve never expected a full dine in restaurant at a boba shop but there it was. Sometimes when people tell you something tastes great, you set your expectation high and the actual food can be disappointing because it’s not as good as it’s hyped to be and how you’ve elevated it in your mind. Well, I have to say that it did not disappoint! We were seated promptly but for some reason, they helped another table who arrived after us for some reason. Not a big deal though since there weren’t many people and it was a leisurely weekend for us.
We ordered the shredded roast duck noodles soup. The broth was very flavorful but light with its clear broth. They used the vermicelli bean thread noodles and so my husband just thought the texture was off. I ordered the Roasted Duck Confit with Large noodles and mustard greens. The duck came out in a separate dish than the soup. The broth was light and tasted heavenly. I added some chili oil available at the table and the slight kick added another dimension to this delicious dish. What was utterly amazing about the dish was the duck. The skin was nice and crispy and even though I dunked the duck into the broth, I could tell it had been marinated because the flavor was infused deep into the meat, so much so that I could still taste the flavors after the dunking. I don’t think I’ve had duck this good before.
We also ordered the Hainanese chicken and beef chow fun. Both were good and standard fare that would satisfy any cravings, if you had an inkling for it. The pork ears were also pretty good too but it does have a brief numbing sensation to the tongue even though we ordered it as mild, I’m assuming from Sichuan peppercorns? But what a gem of a place that is almost down the street from us! We’ll be back for that roasted duck!! 🤤
The service was good but not excellent. We had to ask for our drinks but it never came out, even after the food started coming out. We asked and it came out shortly after that; the waitress was apologetic for forgetting. I deducted one star because no one came back to check to see if we needed refills or if we needed anything else after the food was served. But if you caught their attention, they’d get whatever you wanted promptly. Overall, the service was still pretty good all things considered. The waitress was was waiting the tables in the dining area and also helping people who came in just for drinks.

Service is definitely slow. We order takeout usually because of this. But the food is great! Sometimes the roast duck doesn't have much meat or isn't crispy. Tea king chicken is always good. Typically good portion sizes.

Ordered a $17.99 half portion hand pulled chicken and a dual meat bbq with rice, the bbq with rice took over 30min still did not deliver, the waitress asked me if I want water or tea, I said water, we waited for over 30min, no food and no water. The hand pulled chicken took 45 min to come and look at the portion? is that half a chicken? I asked the waitress, and the waitress said yes!Are you serious? where the thigh part and drumstick meat!
is a rip off to come to this restaurant!

Always one of my go to spots! Especially for the traditional Hainanese chicken and rice. It’s literally the best in all Sacramento! The inside of the restaurant is cute and cozy. Staff are nice. Even other plates/ramen are made to perfection.

Both the take-out and the dine-in at Tealicious is fantastic.
They renovated a few years ago, and recently re-opened. The decor and feel is nice, not typical in a chinese restuarant. It's somewhat more modern. I estimate there are about 10 tables to seat about 4. And it's a pretty quiet ambience which is nice.
The food is definitely superb. The roast chicken, duck is very good. The rice is of good quality, and you get a decent size portion for the price. I tried the fried fish ($17) recently for dine-in and I was impressed. It was cooked perfectly, had a nice crisp, and was not too small. The half-duck, was fantastic because I don't like duck that's too fatty, so I was impressed by it.
Sorry I don't have pictures this time, too busy eating! Anyways, give this place a try- and definitely get some of the items I suggested above. Enjoy!

Best roasted duck in the sac area, consistent quality
First time in my life! Not to mention the tip, I don’t even want to buy it! The served cold rice and cold roast duck, the roast duck is completely cold! The staff told me to take it and heat it up for a minute. There were only one or two tables of customers in the store at that time and it was not very busy. The staff stood there chatting with other customers. The dining bell dinged several times and no one paid attention. I drank a few drinks. I was almost full of tea and couldn't help but ask if my meal was ready? I was told that I had forgotten it, and it was still cold when it was served again. I immediately felt no mood to eat, so I packed it up and went home to feed the wild cats. I had eaten cold meals several times before, but the quality of the food was so bad that I will never patronize it again! ! ! Disgusting people
