" I recently ordered from Taste of China for dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my food arrived. I ordered their beef with broccoli, and it was cooked to perfection—tender meat with crunchy broccoli smothered in a savory sauce. The crab rangoons were crispy and filled with creamy goodness. This place has quickly become one of my favorites for Chinese food in the area. The staff was also friendly when I called in my order, making it even better. Will definitely order again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Taste of China! The food is flavorful and authentic, reminding me of the dishes I enjoyed while traveling in Asia. Their lunch specials are a fantastic deal, and I love the fact that they prepare the food fresh to order. I particularly enjoy their spicy Szechuan chicken, and the crab rangoons are always a hit. The service is friendly and efficient, which makes every visit pleasant. Highly recommend for everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm typically not one to write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Taste of China. The ambiance felt a bit odd, more like a family diner than a Chinese restaurant, but that aside, the food was crucially authentic. I had the Peking duck, and it tasted genuinely exquisite! Their dumplings also deserve a mention for their flavorful filling. Despite the confusing atmosphere, the food will definitely bring me back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had a fantastic experience at Taste of China! Their lemon chicken was out of this world, and I was impressed by how quickly my delivery arrived. The egg rolls were warm and crunchy, and the sweet and sour sauce was perfect! What really stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious Asian meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Taste of China after hearing so many good things, but my experience was unfortunately underwhelming. I ordered the General Tso's chicken and was disappointed to find that it lacked the punch of flavor that I expected. The rice was bland, and the egg rolls didn’t even taste fresh. The service was prompt, but I felt the food should have been better given the hype around this restaurant. I may give them another chance, but I'm not sure I'll rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently held a family gathering and decided to order from Taste of China. Everyone was pleased with the food! We had a variety of dishes, from their delightful wonton soup to the honey chicken. All the portions were ample, and we had enough leftovers to last us a few days. I appreciate how accommodating the staff was with our larger order. Definitely a go-to spot for feeding a crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just moved to the area, I was on the lookout for good Chinese food. Taste of China was a pleasant discovery! The sesame chicken was cooked perfectly with a great sauce. I had a very nice interaction with the staff who were welcoming and helpful. This will be a regular restaurant for my family moving forward! " (*Curated Review*)
