" I stumbled upon Taste of China one evening when I was craving Chinese food. I decided to try their combo platter, and I was beyond impressed! The food was hot when I picked it up, and every item was delicious—from the lo mein to the sweet and sour chicken. The portion sizes were huge, and I felt I got a great value for my money. The service was friendly too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste of China has been my family's favorite Chinese restaurant ever since we moved to the area. The food has always been fresh and delicious. I particularly love their general chicken—crispy with just the right amount of sauce! The service is typically quick, but there have been a couple of occasions when we’ve had to wait longer during busy times. Still, it’s always worth it for such great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time customer of Taste of China, I can confidently say that they consistently offer some of the best Chinese takeout around. I had the orange chicken for the first time last week, and it was incredible! The chicken was crispy, the sauce was not overly sweet, and the portion size was generous. I also appreciate their fast delivery—perfectly timed when we ordered to enjoy a movie night. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" Once again, Taste of China delivered fantastic dishes right to my door. The beef with broccoli was loaded with tender beef and fresh vegetables, and the sweet and sour we shared as a side was a perfect flavor contrast. I always appreciate their quick service—this place is certified excellent. My only complaint? The egg rolls seemed more doughy than usual this time. Overall, still a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" While my visit to Taste of China had its ups and downs, I enjoyed most of my meal. The garlic chicken was flavorful, but my husband’s dish was too salty for my taste. The restaurant has a vibrant vibe and friendly staff, but it was somewhat cluttered which detracted from our experience. I’m willing to give this place another try to see if they can serve up a more consistent experience. " (*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*)
