Tea Pot Chinese Restaurant

I've been going to Tea Pot for over 10 years and this is the worst I've ever gotten from there. The chef came from the back answering the phone and taking orders with some dirty gloves on, the wings were old so I had to drive 30 minutes back to get 2 orders of fresh ones and he still had the same gloves on, which should've been a warning to me, I also ordered the house Mei Fun and the house egg foo young which in both I could only identify the shrimp, couldn't tell you what the other meat was so I couldn't even finish it because the thought made me sick, the only thing I could eat was the egg roll. I spent $123 on some garbage, this is not what they used to be like

This is a go to spot for me. The food is fresh. They care about the ingredients used. The Teapot has been my go to for Chinese food since college.

Atmosphere is peaceful, food is super fresh, and service is nice. I came in around 4:45 and opted to eat in. I ordered the wonton soup, teriyaki wings & white rice & I always ask for an extra cup of teriyaki sauce for my rice. Yummmy!

2nd time dining in (we usually order to-go) and it was amazing as always! Robert was our server -super attentive and so nice! Food portions are always large with plenty left over. Highly recommend the tangerine beef, hunan bean curd, and the BEST hot and sour soup. You should definitely grab one of the Walovi canned teas from the fridge by the register. Also love all the plants in the windows!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. Food was really good. Place is pretty small inside but has a lot of greenery and nice aesthetic. Service was excellent, food came in 10 minutes maximum and everything was fresh and hot. Green tea was just brewed (comes in pot) and piping hot. Egg rolls were crispy and had plump juicy shrimp inside. Chicken and broccoli perfectly cooked and veggies fresh. Sweet and sour pork was a little overcooked, but with the varying size of pieces it’s understandable (we’ve found it a rarity for it to be perfectly cooked). Prices are very reasonable—we got enough for two meals each (and I even had one of the combo plates), each got a drink, and I got an egg roll—our bill was $33. Will be back!

On a trip to SC and decided to stop just because. You can dine in, grab and go - you could order ahead and pick up . I am a plant person and they had a whole bunch of plants 🌵 love it.

Now to food ...try the crispy 🦆 very yummy. We ordered duck, mala chicken, chicken and broccoli 🥦 and snow scallops and all were well seasoned. Worth the money.

Anytime you find a restaurant that cooks good duck you know they cook everything else well. The chef was very nice as well he brought the food out to us.

Absolutely the worst chinese I’ve had in awhile! Ordered online and went to pick up and brought home. We had to throw away the entire order! It was that disgusting. Our meat was old and sour. I gagged as soon as i tasted the meat, Inedible. The fried wontons were overly fried and not edible. I tried to call the restaurant over three separate times, no answer. Will never return. 0/10. Do not eat here!

Was scared to try because of bad reviews. Still went to try and I don’t regret.

Foods were far better than expected with good quantity and price.

Ordered garlic egg plant fry and shrimp chowmein.

The place was filthy when we walked in. The food tastes old. The ribs were hard and not tender at all. Nothing was good. They need to revamp and learn how to cook Chinese food. Period. 1/5 I give it. Panda Express is better and I hate that place.I wouldn’t feed a homeless person that food. It’s was like rotten dog food. Please don’t eat there.

Very cool unprofessional when she pick up the phone. Never said thank you for calling teapot. Just hello. They need better customer service.

I totally agree with previous posters. Food was old, dried out and obviously reheated. Something is wrong here. They have either given up or turned it over to people who don’t care. Even the individually wrapped fortune cookies were stale. How does that even happen?

Ordered 2 plates of chicken fried rice and wings. Both orders were not fresh, the chicken tasted old, and was recooked after sitting for quite some time. The rice was hot but old as if it had been sitting.
When I called to give constructive criticism to hopefully eliminate this from happening to other customers, the manager on duty was very defensive. He stated that he has been cooking for over 21 years and denied that the food was not fresh. The food is currently in the trashcan as it was not edible.

Highly recommend not eating or patronizing this establishment.
