Family-owned restaurant offering familiar Thai & Chinese dishes in a low-key setting.
I cant even begin to describe the quality of the food here except to say it is remarkable. The food is cooked fresh, and they dont just claim that. The vegetables taste fresh and are hot and steaming when they come out. the chicken was tender and well seasoned. the rice is delicious. The egg rolls are incredible (piping hot and generous as far as helpings go).
This place deserves patronage and a steady stream of business. I hope others enjoy the fresh food as much as I did.
Ordered chicken lo mein and fresh spring roll
/ vegetarian spring rolls. I honestly could not really tell the difference as you can see in the photos it was pure lettuce maybe about four little carrots four pieces of chicken and literally one shrimp I basically paid for a lettuce wrap the chicken was very dry and tasteless tasted like it just got boiled and had no seasoning it was bad I've had plenty of spring rolls and this by far was one of the worst you can tell they did not put any effort into making the food good as a small restaurant you should take more pride about how you cook food just so you can get more people to come back to your establishment pretty disappointed my first time coming here I will give it a four-star for service just because the gentleman was nice and was willing to refund and remake but I decided I did not even want to do that. The chicken lo mein was decent.
My absolute favorite Thai food in Yakima. And the Chinese dishes are just as amazing. The employees/family members that run this restaurant are so nice and welcoming. My fav dishes are the cashew mushroom chicken (Chinese), pad see ew, and pad thai. And for apps, my favs are the cream cheese butterflies and the crunchy crunch fried spring rolls. 10/10 💯💯💯
A friend of mine came here and said it was great so my family and I decided to try it! It was really good!! The service was great!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere felt family oriented!! We will definitely be going back!!
When you walk in, your greated with smiles and the aroma of fresh spices and herbs.
As you sit down, your order is taken and quickly served with the feeling of honor and hospitality. This is authentic to food houses is Asian countries, where food is considered an art, from service to food being presented, not just served.
As you first round is prepared displayed as a colorful palette of fragrances, you get choices and options for the different cups of garnishes. This is so pleasing not only to the eye, but to the graceful fragrance to your taste and smelling senses. The shere aromas of fresh herbs and garnishes make you taste buds water and dance with joy. You begging to salivate with anticipation of the first bite, and are not disappointed once you do try the dishes.
Then the main dishes begin to arrive!. . With fragrances dancing in the air, and as steam rises from the hot fresh dish, you begin to imagine what the first bite will taste like, and with surprise, ITS GREAT!. . from entering to your last bite, your in for a real treat at this mom and pop again cuisine restraunt. Try it, you wont be disappointed.
Best Chinese in Yakima! Still great!

Been coming here 10+ years! Absolutely love this place and will keep coming back. ❤️ Food is great, service is great.
A friend of mine came here and said it was great so my family and I decided to try it! It was really good!! The service was great!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere felt family oriented!! We will definitely be going back!!
Some of the best Chinese food we have ever had!
What a lovely family owned restaurant! Our server was so kind and the food was fresh and delicious. We will be back!
Service was ok he was nice but never once asked how our food was and the food was horrible I've never had Chinese that bad the rice was hard and the sweet and sour was very watered down. We went here because we wanted Chinese and didn't have alot of money due to bills coming up
Great pho! The Thai tea and Thai coffee are amazing! The staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend.
We got the pad see ew, General Tso's chicken, egg rolls, and potstickers. They used the wrong kind of noodles for the pad see ew. Normally, it's made with really wide noodles that have a toothsome feel, which is why I ordered it because I was craving them. They made my dish with tiny thin noodles, not sure why. And the general tso's chicken was ok, but it came on a bed of really weird sad noodle things, I'm not sure if they're supposed to be eaten or just to keep the chicken fresh. Other than that, everything was fine, but I wouldn't say this place is worth the price. The Thai Iced tea was the best thing we ordered.
They are so friendly, always great service and amazing food.
We have been coming here since they first opened. The food has always been great, the staff extremely friendly and considerate. This is a family only business and we have gotten to know them. They left Cambodia with their four boys and a good business to start anew in the US so that their boys would have a good education and better life. One is now in the medical school locally and the other three are to be proud of. We particularly love their pad thai, fried rice and salmon Curry. Oh also their butterflies, bbq pork and fried spring roll appetizers. They have discontinued their lunch buffet. This is not a intimate dining experience but the food has always been fresh, great, &plenty of it so that we've had to box every time. And you could not ask for nicer people. We hope you will experience the Tea Garden Restaurant! All take out is fresh too.
The atmosphere I gave a five-star, it's not necessarily romantic, not necessarily a love nest, but after all it is a restaurant of impeccable taste! I enjoy hot and spicy foods and have savored at every level 1 through 5, and their special 5 plus! In my opinion, the best dining experience in Yakima!
I absolutely love this place and the owners the food is delicious!!!
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want a good lunch or dinner. The restaurant had excellent customer service with even better food. The food is reasonably priced as well. The entire staff was also very friendly which provided a very positive atmosphere.
Great service, great food!
The staff is always friendly and prompt. Good is always delicious and fresh tasting.
Staff are very kind, food is fantastic. Great little place to have a working lunch.
My favorite place for cheap Chinese take out, in Yakima! Service is ALWAYS GREAT, food is sooooo good, and good enough atmosphere. I’ll always be back here!
The food is super good 😊
The food is delicious and worth the wait and the price. The hospitality here is phenomenal. Add this to your must haves of dine in or take out!
The best Chinese restaurant in Yakima! The food and service is wonderful. Thank you!
Always a Delightful Place to eat! SUPERB food that is authentic and patiently, Lovingly prepared🌹. Service is outstanding and, personable😊. Always Clean. They are here to serve you🌹
Just found out about this place. Open on Monday's, Delicious and Wonderful service 👌 if you haven't been your definitely missing out. Just found my new place. Thank you
Perfect spot for lunch right in downtown Yakima. I had the Special Low Mein which consists of Beef, Pork, Chicken and Shrimp. I would recommend this dish if you like all the meat. The meals are appropriately priced. I had a great waiter as well.

I really love the food here. I love that they will make it as spicy as I want too. I will be returning.
Extraordinary food and service. One of the best Thai foods we have ever eaten. The service here is phenomenal. Will visit again if I am in town.
Amazing food. Absolutely amazing service. I will definitely be eating here whenever Im in Yakima! Such friendly owners. Fresh food. Awesome!
Family run Chinese -Thai food menu. Family run, excellent service. We ordered phad Thai, basi chicken and Tom Kha. The soup was my favorite.
Very friendly staff and the girl who rang me up was very beautiful ❤️
Awesome staff.
I love all foods at tea garden restaurants. All staff really friendly and helpful! Highly recommended!
I really want give this restaurant a negative start. They are rude to their customer. I call in they said to me go died. Ridiculously
Got myself a number 4. Not bad if you want something quick.
I've been coming here for 10 years or so. Food is always amazing and it's made fresh once you order. It takes time to make food with love. Be prepared to wait, but it will be so worth it. We order takeout so we can use the prep time to drive over. Their bbq pork and BBQ chicken is the best I've had.
Ate good food had the best thai tea and bought the cutest set of press on nails 🥰
This place has the best Thai food in WA state! Friendly, family owned, local restaurant. Highly recommend!
This place looks dull and shabby but don't let that fool you. The food is excellent here. They make everything fresh so it takes a while, but well worth the wait. This is easily the best Chinese food we have tried so far in Eastern Washington. Ignore the worn out 80's/90's diner decor and just enjoy the food.
The wonderful family that owns and runs the Tea Garden provide excellent friendly, caring service. The food is absolutely some of the best I have had. It is always prepared just as you order it {spiciness, etc.}. They family is exceptionally efficient. They remember their customers and greet them as friends. The restaurant is spotlessly clean.
It is a EXCELLENT and MOST ENJOYABLE experience to dine here!!
Great food! Custom heat level for the food...from 1 to 5. 5 being hottest. I ordered 3... at first I thought I should have ordered 4, but once I finished I am glad I got 3...it got warmer as I ate it. Wonderful leftovers following day.
Small, mom and pop restaurant. But food is excellent. My favorite!
This place is like a hidden gem. Easily the best Chinese food in Yakima.
Okay this place deserves a higher rating. Absolutely by far the BEST Thai in Yakima and in Eastern Wa. They make very authentic food and it never disappoints. Their service is incredible and family owned from SE ASIA. Mind blowing panang curry and literally every dish outstanding.
This is such a friendly place very efficient! The food is fabulous! Totally recommend the tea garden for fine in our fine out. Great place. Love it!
Food had good flavor, service was very good.
Food was very good and staff was friendly.
Food looked good in pictures but there was a cockroach in the bathroom so we left.
Delicious food and friendly staff 🤗
Tea Garden OMG absolutely best Chinese/Thai restaurant food I been too. The owners & workers are super professional and friendly. And the food is 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great place! Probably best in Yakima!
Great food and friendly people. Reminds me of the chinese restaurant i used to work in back in idaho, they made me feel welcome
Excellent Chinese food and service. Will definitely visit again.
the food was good & very, very fresh. large portions, good prices, & friendly service. long wait for our takeout order, and if you're doing takeout take some extra spice - all of our dishes tasted like a 1 star on the spice level, even though we ordered dishes ranging from 1 - 5 stars. the pad see ew did not taste like pad see ew - it was very good but tasted more like a slightly spicy chow mein. pork fried rice was tasty. pad thai was good. in the end everything was good & fresh & hit the spot, but felt more like chinese takeout vs.thai (except for the pad thai).
Talk about a hidden treasure in the heart of Yakima! My family traveled with my very disabled mother, on her whim and short notice. They sat all 15 of my family members quickly, were attentive and took our orders swiftly. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was absolutely perfect! Freshly made and you could taste it! Although my family can be a bit overwhelming, we were treated graciously, and service was excellent. Definitely recommend!
Very good experience. Pad Thai, general Tsos, and butterflies were great! Service was perfect. Very nice. Setting is relaxed and calm. We came with our baby. Will come again!
I have never had anything here that wasn't fantastic. It has become a Christmas Eve Tradition for us to get take out here and we go several times throughout the year. The lunch buffet is also amazing. Absolutely a place not to miss in Yakima!
Try General Tso's Chicken, Special Lomein, Special Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Butterflies.
My absolute favorite Thai food in Yakima. And the Chinese dishes are just as amazing. The employees/family members that run this restaurant are so nice and welcoming. My fav dishes are the cashew mushroom chicken (Chinese), pad see ew, and pad thai. And for apps, my favs are the cream cheese butterflies and the crunchy crunch fried spring rolls. 10/10 💯💯💯
DELICIOUS!!! We wanted Chinese food and this place did not disappoint. My kid's are picky and they loved it. We will definitely go back. I can't wait to show my family from out of town. The price was reasonable. Great customer service 👏 we loved the atmosphere. We visited on a Tuesday evening.
1st time trying Tea Garden tonight and it will absolutely not be the last!!!!! The service was awesome, prices were reasonable, but the food.....PHENOMENAL!!!! We got the Cashew Chicken (1 star heat), the Sesame Chicken (3 star heat), and a side of their peanut sauce. Completely impressed at the flavor in the sauces and freshness of the veggies. We already can't wait to come back! The lunch buffet sounds awesome! Great job Tea Garden! 🙌
I’ve been coming here for years and now a regular. I order the green curry. I’ve gone to other places and the portions are nowhere near as great or as tasty. You can tell they put thought into the food. I’m speaking of the menu items. Can’t vouch for the buffet but ordering from the menu is always A+++ :)
We love going here. Where else can you get General Tso chicken and Pad Thai at the same time? If you like spicy food, add their home made peppers to your dish, they are so good.
Came in this evening and ordered General Tso chicken, and spring rolls. First off the resturant is very clean, and quiet. I was greeted right away, and my food took long enough that you knew it was made fresh, but not too long . The food was very good. Spice level was a perfect medium on the General Tso, and the spring rolls were delicious. I'll definitely be going back to try some of their other offerings. Hidden gem for sure .
Love this place. The food is consistently good and the service is impeccable. I’ve been going here for years and will continue going here as long as I am able.
Excellent food and service
Delicious! At first I was staggered by the cost but when I saw how much food (and then tried it) I was completely satisfied! It was so good!
The food is always wonderful and the owners are very sweet
This place has the best egg flower soup, best pho, best general Tso’s chicken and so much more. It’s always fresh and full of flavor. The family that runs this restaurant are such beautiful friendly people, it is like going to see old friends when we go and their service is gracious and attentive. This restaurant is our whole families favorite place to go out and eat!
Great food!
Definitely the best pho in the Yakima Valley. All the other food is great too.
Love this place been in business for 12 years and really nice to the kids. Very kid friendly. Do recommend. The food was amazing
The staff is always pleasant and the quality of the food is excellent!
Great food! Amazing chicken chow mein
I ate so much at the buffet that I threw up? Sorry..
I ate too much, I'm sorry but the food had made me sick?
The owner brought out a tarp to put under my newborn daughter. She was really afraid that the baby would make a mess. Made me feel embarrassed and discriminated against. Buffet was 13$ which is high especially when Minado is so much better for 12$. On the other hand the pad Thai was good. There is a nasty sign on the wall that says you will be charged more for any leftovers you leave. I guess in their world the customers please the owners of the business. Wonder how long they will stay open. I’m never giving them another $
I ate so much that I got sick the food was the great but I got overcharge for my stuff then I ateded too much thanks for that though it sucked.
Wonderful Restaurant with great foods.
We ordered Generally Tso, Pad Thai, and Curry.
I ate so much I got sick sorry?
Tried it the first time for lunch the other day had Chicken Low Mein. It was wonderful. Service fast and friendly. Highly Recommend this restaurant 👌😊.
Best Chinese in Yakima. Always fresh and worth the wait.
Good food, nice people
The food is not as good as I remember as a kid and for the portions you get the price is to high
Always great!
Good buffett.
The service and the food were excellent! Definitely recommend this place for a great dining experience!
This food ain’t very good. Poor quality ingredients. And then it tastes like it’s stale or something
The people that said, best Thai food ever, must’ve never had Thai food before.
They got one star for at least being nice and not treating me funny in my wheelchair, like most Chinese places do
Excellent
Great Thai food!! Best in Yakima!
Just went here for the first time. I liked it. Wife thought some was overcooked. I didn't mind. Good, cheerful service.
The best Chinese food in Yakima, I’ve tried them all. I’ve never eating the buffet, but I order out from here at least once a week. Sesame chicken and lo main is where it’s at. I’ve tried a few of their Thai dishes, but prefer the Chinese food here. Run by a very kind family.
The best noodle dishes and curries.
Honestly wasnt that good. And the lady tried to over charge my wife and I by 10$. So we wont be going back.
So so food wasn't bad. Somewhat run down interior and decor.
Love this place!! Amazing service and great tasting food. An for the comment below mine is false there is no charge for taking your left over food from the buffet home. There is however a charge if you eat at the buffet and waste alot of food that took alot of time to prepare and cook not to mention that someone else would of ate is a good thing.. Alot of good food goes wasted in America
Delicious! Huge portions. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Fin place to go
Our catering for the wedding, very tasty food, a little oily though
Perhaps the best Asian food in Yakima. The ambiance may be lacking but the food is Incredible.
Great family owned restaurant. I recommend the curry and pra ram. Great friendly service.
Excellent food. Good customer service.
Extremely patient and polite servers and a robust menu of freshly prepared Chinese and Thai dishes make this a regular stop.
It was expensive for what we got and food really wasn't all that good.
Love this place. Delicious food and friendly service. I usually only get thai from there, but have tried the Chinese as well. The Larb is my favorite. Very pungent and full of flavor. Served with lettuce to scoop with, which makes it the perfect light dish in hotter weather.
Good food
Stopped in before the lunch rush and I am thinking that was a bad idea. It seemed like all the food on the buffet table was cold or luke warm. Tasted like it was probably yesterdays food at best. Poor value and poor quality food. Right now I feel bad for what I put in my tummy and it is feeling like it won't be in there long! I am shocked how well this place rates for how terrible the food is!
Small buffet food was hot and fresh. Strongly recommend.
Food was comparable to a lower class old country buffet $15 for an all-you-can-eat buffet when they literally have 10 different items on the entire menu to choose from minus the drinks is absurd. may be considered adequate for someone who wants a quick bite to eat during their lunch break and the middle of the day when there's no other options around but to go there on a date or take someone that I actually care about what they eat I think not. there was barely anything within the trays almost as if they keep it low to avoid throwaway cost not to mention the fish was not appetizing smelling at all and this is coming from someone who loves sushi and eel and calamari
Nothing was - bad-, but everything was mediocre at best. Prices higher than I'd expect for this type of place even if the quality were higher.
Chinese combo meal was close to par with what you might get at Safeway, but after it'd been sitting in the warming trays for a while.
Tom Kah soup was fine, but not particularly well balanced, somewhat lacking in flavor, and choice of veggies was uninspired. Chicken pieces were rather dry and tough. Steamed rice included some that was actually burnt.
Thai tea was fairly yummy, but also over-the-top sweet, even for Thai tea.
Always consistently good food!!
Shared one of the Chinese meals, it was decent. The fried rice was the best item. It was very flavorful and had a great crispiness to it. Will return to try the Thai options.
Very good food, Chinese and eastern Indian food. Egg roles are something you have to try.
Awesome food. Great service. Will be going back to this spot for sure.
It’s a superb place to enjoy slices of authentic Asian food. We tried their dinner set, Pad Thai and Iced Thai Tea and they were all satisfying my asian taste 👍🏻
First timer with a local regular. Food is great! Service very friendly. Not fancy, but delish!
I didn't even know that this place existed, I'll be back for lunch again.
Good food friendly staff
It's a great little place to eat, alsways on my list for lunch. Has a small lunch buffet, perfect for those working or in the downtown Yakima area during lunch. The bus station is right across the street, not the greatest neighborhood, but never felt unsafe. It's typical food for the Yakima area, don't try to compare it to big cities or other high end fancy restaurants. It's
Very good food. The price is great too.
Very good food and service.
Nice people, great food!! Loved it!
I came to Yakima for a job conferences, and I found this Thai restaurant on Google map with high ratings, so I wanted to try out, they have variety of different Thai and Chinese foods, I ordered Thai ice tea, pad Thai noodles and green curry chicken, it was delicious, the owner is nice and friendly with customers, I highly recommended.
Thai and Chinese food. We always go for Thai. The food is always good and so is the service.
Incredibly friendly service and some of the best tasting food in Yakima
Always tasty, Never disappointed.
This is the best Tea Garden Chinese and Thai restaurant in Yakima Washington. I could not believe how good the service & food was at this restaurant. I loved there food so much that during our company’s training that we had to do in Yakima, Wa for our security company we went to this restaurant. I love Chinese food but I like the Thai food the best. The restaurant was very clean. Great place to go to if you live in Yakima or just passing through. Thank You for the great food. George
Food was delicious and super friendly staff.
The people are so nice and the food is phenominal. I'm never disappointed with this restaurant.
I like the food
Lunch buffet is top notch. Easily better than most Vegas buffets
The Tea Garden is my very favorite restaurant in Yakima. It is a very well run with fresh ingredients, a generous lunch buffet, and a lovely family hosting. Prices are reasonable, service is friendly, food is delicious. I would rate it with 5 stars.
Took a long time for order & food was terrible
It's really good food and servive
