Tea Noodles Rice Cafe

Taiwanese style rice noodles are quickly becoming my go to Chinese food. Really well done!

Mediocre Chinese food at best. They're good for when you don't feel like cooking or don't feel like going out. Their bubble teas are good.

Probably the best delivery Chinese that I've ever had. The Kung Pao is excellent, the dumplings are unique, and the Taiwanese Noodles have excellent flavor.

I was looking for a place that delivered noodle soup on a rainy night, and tried the beef stew noodle soup. The food arrived hot, the portions were generous, and the broth was tasty! I was very happy to find a place that delivered noodle soup nearby and that was on seamless as well. Very convenient!

I was very impressed by the fact that the food arrived hot, not warm, hot. The dumplings are only available steamed, not fried (my preference) but were very, very good. The spring rolls were pretty normal, good enough. The pan fried noodles were very good, however, this is where I also had my only real problem. They put the noodles directly from the pan into the Styrofoam container, which, as you can image, didn't react well (it melted). So I had a little styrene flavoring to my noodles and chicken. Oh well, what's a little carcinogen among friends.

After reading reviews of TNR, I had high expectations, and boy did they fall short. I even ordered a wide array of food so I could sample a bunch of different items. Crab Rangoon - Way too cream chees-y, barely any crab flavor (as fake as it may be) Wonton Soup - Flavorless greasy broth, wonton skins were super thick, filling bland. Spring Rolls - Had an oddly overpowering black pepper taste that masked everything else. Shrimp were mealy. Both of the entrees, Moo Shu Pork and Taiwanese Style Rice Noodles had the same oddly overpowering black pepper taste as the spring rolls. Seriously couldn't taste anything other than black pepper. Got 2 types of bubble tea, and the tapioca pearls were mushy. Overall, incredibly disappointed that I spent $50 to get a mess of black pepper tasting food. Will not be ordering from here again.

Don't order on the weekends. I've had fantastic service every time I've ordred EXCEPT Fridays or Saturdays. They get swamped, they can't handle it, they take twice as long at least to deliver an order or don't deliver it at all.

Wonderful food, quick delivery, reasonable prices. Definitely my favorite Chinese place in Arlington.

Haven't even tasted it yet. Delivery time going on 2 hours. No food is worth that wait.

There food is always good but I'm a little dissapointed by the never ending price increases on their food. In the last 4 years the prices have gone up almost $3 per entre (and the portions are sometimes smaller than previous). I had to reduce their rating too 3 stars since my last 2 orders took 1 1/2 hrs for delivery and arrived cold.

Revising my review (food is still good, so 5 stars for taste remains). Food has started to take way too long to be delivered, unfortunately. Still waiting over an hour for food that should have arrived 1/2 hour ago (I called and was told food would arrive imminently - it's 20 minutes later). Order if you have time.

Took two hours for delivery. Hot and Sour soup, and lo mien were good, but Sweet and Sour Chicken seemed like mostly dough balls.

I used to really like this restaurant but recently the food has declined. The last time I ordered from this restaurant, they delivered cold food and extremely undercooked dumplings (the meat appeared to be raw). I will be looking for a new go to Chinese restaurant.

This, without question, is the best Chinese food joint in Arlington. I have literally eaten here more than 25 times and only once been disappointed in the meal I received. The 25$ min for delivery is steep, but if you want really good Chinese food then there is no substitute.

For Chinese takeout? Awesome! The Crispy Ginger Beef is scrumptious - a definite must. The Chicken and Cashew is much spicier than most places. The General Tso's tastes like mall food court fare - not recommended. The Vegetable Spring Rolls are standard grade. Their fortune cookies are quite tasty! Delivery on a friday at 7:30 took 45 minutes, but food was good and warm. Definitely one of the better places and they will be who I order from the next time I crave Chinese takeout!
