Tea Station

Wow… A place in denver that actually has a Milk Tea with some richness and depth to it~! What is up with these huge balls in my mouth!?! The boba here are big~! Made well, and they actually have flavor to them SCORE~! Great Customer Service. I will definitely be back~!
After going back several times, the quality seems a bit mixed, but the tea still has a depth to it that other places around denver dont.

Good place and service. Chicken wings was good but it wasn’t something to amazed about. Still it was tasty. We tried the fried dumplings, and again it was a meh. I like the service though. Not slow which is good.

Great flavors. Good is always delivered to the table hot. Portions are good. It’s nice to go to a restaurant where they aren’t just using the same two sauces for everything. You can get the lunch deal for dinner. Good service. It’s never been busy when I have gone there– they do have takeout and delivery. Seating area is a good size with a variety of booths and tables that aren’t packed in.

The Boba is really good! I get the milk tea Boba! It’s super delicious! It is $ 4 something for a small though so it is on the pricey side.
The food is okay. I had sweet and sour chicken and it was average. What you would expect for delivery ranked restaurants.

They were ok… Not the best, not the worst. Over priced for sure. Not enough meat in the dishes… Tons of veggies.

Excellent food, try the chicken chow mein, best in town. Establish is clean, spacious, furniture is comfortable. Staff is professional, courtesy, & caring. Pricing is very reasonable, portions are large, prepare for take home containers. You won’t easily forget the place, great food & staff. Enjoy!

I have loved their salt spoced wings for years, and the Singapore noodles are my favorite. I usually order take out or do delivery and the aervice has always been courteous and professional. My issue with them is the high price tacked on for delivery and delivery when using a credit card OMG, 30 bucks for 2 entrees and 1 appetizer? Whoa Nelly

Went here recently with Hubby and kids, had great service, I ordered something simple, Chicken Fried Rice, was awesome, also kids loved the Sesame Chicken and hot and sour soup was great. Will continue to come here.

I have been going here for years. Standard Chinese fare, but cooked very nicely and lighter and not greasy.

I ordered delivery from Tea Station and it arrived 2 hours later! The worst part is I live literally across the street. The fried noodles at this point were inedible and the wontons cold. The delivery guy was very apologetic so I tipped him even though I still had to pay the full price.

Tea Station has been winning the hearts and tongues of metro-​area residents for over a decade, and it’s not difficult to understand why. The restaurant’s rather laconic name belies the wealth of Chinese culinary delights offered within its doors.
It would be a bit silly to review a place called «Tea Station» without mentioning their renowned range of beverages. From almond to green-​tea to honey to taro to cookies-​n-​cream, there’s a flavor for every palate — and that’s even before the addition of boba (tapioca balls) or fruit-​flavored jellies. But honestly, the eatery has so much more to offer. Take, for example, the salt-​and-​pepper chicken wings which are always juicy and perfectly seasoned. Another idea to consider are the pork dumplings colloquially called «pot stickers» or Jiaozi (available either steamed or fried). Perhaps a cup of creamy egg-​drop soup is in your future instead? But these bountiful beginnings will seem like a mere trifle (no, not the sweet kind) when your primary plate is plopped in front of you.
Despite what you may think, «lobster sauce» in fact contains no lobster; it’s thusly named because the velvet-​smooth white sauce (generally made from eggs, chicken stock and cornstarch) bears similarities to certain seafood sauces from Traditional Chinese cuisines. But this disparity doesn’t make Tea Station’s offering of plump shrimp, peas, carrots and the sauce in question any less tasty. Alternatively, if you really want to get those tastebuds a-​talkin’, you’re sure to enjoy every nibble of Sweet & Spicy Peppered Beef. Of course, there’s also curry chicken, sesame pork, and so forth, plus their Happy Hour menu of assorted fried numnums — and they’re even introducing a few Vietnamese items soon! So stop by, won’t you?

Staff was nice I ordered sesame chicken, it was below average. The shrimp fried rice was made with old rice. The wonton soup was bland and the wonton’s were mushy like they had been in hot broth for hours. I wouldn’t recommended this place.

The boba was meh… but for someone living in a city where boba is far from rampant, I was happy to just chew on some tapioca balls. I had the almond boba and it was way too sweet for me — there was no balance between the almond and the tea, and the almond was too overpowering.
I am also not sure how fresh the tapioca balls are… but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.

I don’t usually write a lot of updates. Most places either do not change that much, or it is very gradual over considerable time. My experiences today made me feel that an update was warranted. I am taking away two stars from my previous review.
The first star removal is due to food quality. It just was not as good as on my previous visit. I am not sure if the cook is new, or if it is just luck of the draw on the dishes I ordered last time versus this time. The hot and sour soup had okay flavor this time. However, it was so heavily corn-​starched as to almost be gelatinous enough to stand a spoon up in. The egg roll had an oddly squishy center (and no sauces were brought out with it). The beef and snow peas dish was sub-​par. The brown sauce heavily coating the meat was as thick as ketchup and was significantly over-​salted. The portion size was decent, and the «fried» rice on the side was fair.
The second star removal is due to not honoring the 25% off of your bill with Unilocal check-​in special. I showed this to the server when I first sat down at the table and indicated I would be using it. After the meal was over, and she was bringing out the checks, I reminded her of this. She went in the back, came out a few minutes later, and said, «The manager said this deal has expired.» I pointed out that there was no expiration date on it, and pulled up the offer to show her. She asked, then took my phone in back to show the manager. She returned a few minutes later and said «sorry». She asked if I wanted to speak to the manager, so I did. He said, «We have been meaning to take that offer down, but have not gotten around to it.» He did not honor the offer and did not seem especially apologetic about it.
Other than the issues mentioned above, the service was good.

Food was okay, nothing special in my opinion. I got the Mongolian chicken and it was pretty good but the only vegetables it had in it were white onions, no green onions or anything else to give it a little variety. Their dumplings are good and so were the crab rangoons. I also got fried rice too but it was pretty bland and the eggs in it were dry. I got delivery and the food came hot and ready though so no complaints there. My main comment on the food would be that it’s kinda flavorless.

Came here only for the Boba! My favorite drink is their Milk tea flavored boba!
The best part about this place is that you can customize your drink. Typically at most restaurant who serves Boba, especially Phở restaurants, Boba drinks are smoothie/​snow-​like, but here at Tea Station, you can order it in other version like ice tea or milk tea.

What is up with the 6^th and Sable/​Chambers area? This particular area is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, what with the goldmine of delicious foods scattered throughout! From pizza to tacos and now to beef and broccoli…
Tea Station is a great little restaurant located near Hobby Lobby. They offer plenty of seating, so don’t worry about beating a lunch rush here. Quite extensive menu with plenty of options to satisfy a large group. Not to mention awesome prices! My favorite Chinese dish, beef and broccoli, was $ 6.95 for a small, which holy cow, was still too much for me to eat in one sitting! Fresh and super tasty, Tea Station will now be my go-​to for Chinese food in the area for lunch. Aside from my awesome beef and broccoli, everyone else from the East Side Crew seemed to enjoy their dishes as well: clean plates and to-​go boxes all around!
So why the 3 stars? Mainly, the service. It was just off on our visit. The restaurant wasn’t too busy aside from our table of five, but at least two or three orders were incorrect or missing something. And when we asked for separate checks, we were given one check at the end of the meal, which took another 10 – 15 minutes to split up. Deal breakers? Definitely not. Perhaps this was simply an off day or a new server or cook in the back.
While the service was a bit of a fright during our visit, the delicious food Tea Station is serving up is certainly enough for me to make a return visit soon. And next time, I’ve got to try one of the many bobas offered! Super yum!

Five stars for the great staff and employees — they are all friendly and super nice, really. Additionally their Boba drinks (which they deliver!) — are great! The Passion Fruit slush is by far my favorite.
It pains me to say that their food gets one star because I was so sad that my highly anticipated Chinese dinner was a total letdown.
The food is super bland — even the sweet and sour sauce is neither sweet or sour, it’s simply a murky dark pink gel you apply to whatever dish you are eating that needs it, it mostly serves to soften the sharp edges of whatever fried item you are eating.
The egg rolls have an almost pureed cabbage fill that doesn’t do anything to delight your taste buds — even the usually pleasing deep fried shell isn’t enough to save it. Eating this eggroll forced me have a moment to regret the calories I had just consumed.
The crab cheese wontons looked promising — but then I ate one. «Was that canned cubed carrot I just ate?» is something that has never crossed my mind when eating a wonton. The filling seems to be cream cheese and cubed carrot from the taste of it — I tried salvaging it by dunking it in the sweet nor sour sauce, it was a futile attempt.
I opened the Lo Mein and saw spaghetti noodles covered with sauce. I will say that despite the noodles, it was GOOD — the beef was tender and flavorful, the sauce was amazing, but the noodles weren’t those big, fat flavor absorbing noodles.
I like the employees of this place — they are good folks. I love their Boba… but the food, THE FOOD! I wanted so much to love it, but I couldnt. Even the next day, when I got to attack the leftovers — I was reminded of my disappointment. I’m actually bummed out that the food wasn’t great, because I like Tea Station as a business. I hope other people like it more than I did/​do.

2 stars at best for the Honey Dew Slush Tea with Boba, that I purchased on Friday evening October 18^th 2013. Its too sweet for my liking and it tasted way too artificial since they used «powdered» ingredients. But since I was so thirsty and want something COLD, to Tea Station Chinese Cuisine I went. *Sad Face*
The Boba Drink cost was $ 3.79. That was the smallest cup that Tea Station Chinese Cuisine had to offer.
We waited like about 5 minutes or so. Maybe would return for Dinner and see how things might differ. Though I cannot deny, its more like «Americanize-​Chinese» food when I did get the chance to glance thru the Menu…

I was super excited to see that there was a milk tea shop right next to the hotel I was staying at. The menu was promising because there were so many choices.
I tried the chow mein that came with fried rice and I couldn’t finish it because it wasn’t very tasty. The rice lacked flavor and felt stale and the chow mein also lacked flavor. I tried a mango milk tea which was tasty but was made with a powder that has a pretty artificial flavor.
I even gave this place a 2^nd try that same night when I came back and got a yogurt frost. It was made with a powder yogurt flavor rather than real yogurt. It tasted very artificial and sweet.
So, my excitement was sadly replaced by disappointment. I would come here only if this was the only milk tea option in the city.
