TAN'S ASIAN CAFE REVIEWS

One of the better Chinese takeout places in Tallahassee. The prices are better than a lot of places, and the portion was what you would expect. The General Tso’s was good, with a nice balance of sauce that left the chicken with a good crunch to it. Of all the takeout only type places in Tallahassee this one has been the best so far.

Casual place. Friendly staff. Good food. We had "Salt and Pepper Tofu" and "Skewered Chicken". I love the tofu. The chicken was good but it was seasoned with authentic Indonesian seasoning. It was not quite my taste. Good and cecent meals for reasonable prices.

First time ordering from here. Lovely woman attended to me, food tastes great and service was great as well. Had the tangerine chicken combination platter, and I was not expecting much, the the tangerine chicken was amazing. And I have 5o add, best egg spring roll I've had in a long time.

CHINA FIRST REVIEWS

The food selection was very limited, saw one of the employees with a fly swatter around the restaurant. The food was good and filling but just a bit concerned with the well care of the food.

Fish was fresh and Salt n Pepper shrimp were .AMAZING. in fact everything we ate was really really good. The food was hot and fresh. The owner was very pleasant as well as the staff.

I would be here every month for their food The people are very good at this place and work very hard for the customers.

MING TREE CAFE REVIEWS

The best Chinese food in Tallahassee! The interiors are not fancy but the food is delicious and simple. It has been our staple to go Chinese restaurant for a few years. Our family favorites include the Hunan Chicken and Pepper Steak.

I used to big fan of this place. However, after pandemic, they decided not to open the hall area, which is disrespectful for the loyal customers. So, you have to order to take out only. Now the waitress, the owner's daughter-in-law, expects same amount of the tips.

Sam mentioned this place in Forehead Fables, so I'm giving it 5 stars so it's a busier place whenever he wants to go get food.
