" A Taste of China never disappoints! I’ve been visiting for years, and they have consistently provided high-quality dishes. The buffet isn't massive, but trust me, everything you find there is of great quality. Their crab rangoons and hot and sour soup are the best around! The owners are always friendly and remember our names, which adds a personal touch. A downside, though, is that they often run out of my favorite dish by the time I arrive. But regardless, this place remains my go-to for Chinese cuisine in Cookeville! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to check out A Taste of China after hearing many friends rave about it. What I liked most was the atmosphere; it's very cozy and welcoming. The buffet had a good selection, and most additives were surprisingly fresh. However, there was a specific chicken dish that was subpar. That said, the majority of what I had was delicious! The staff maintained a good energy and were attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about A Taste of China. While the buffet is an excellent value for the money, I found some of the food too greasy, diminishing the overall enjoyment. It's a bummer, as there were great flavors and a good variety. The service was a bit slow. Maybe the restaurant was overwhelmed; it was peak hour during our visit. Still, the ambiance was relaxing, which added to our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had often heard how wonderful A Taste of China is, so I decided to see for myself. I opted for the buffet during lunch. While the food was good, it seemed to lack the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The sweet and sour chicken was decent but felt more like a fast food version. On the upside, the staff was friendly, attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. Overall, I felt it was an alright experience, though I might stick to takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first ate at A Taste of China, I was blown away by the authenticity of the dishes. I've traveled across Asia and have a deep love for authentic Asian cuisine. This restaurant does a fantastic job of maintaining the traditional flavors. The fried rice, lo mein, and sweet and sour chicken could transport anyone back to China! The service was friendly, and I loved how they pay attention to customer feedback. However, one of my visits had a noticeably longer wait during peak times. Still, I would say it's worth it for the incredible food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard a lot of good things about A Taste of China and finally visited. Overall, my experience was poor due to the blandness of the food and the inattentiveness of the staff. Even though I saw some pleasant interactions with other customers, the waitress seemed indifferent toward us. I think they need to work on consistency with the food quality and improve customer service. Perhaps it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" A Taste of China is hands down the best Chinese restaurant I've been to since moving to the area. The portion sizes are excellent, and everything from the dumplings to the egg rolls is prepared with care. I just love the warm environment where the waitstaff feels like family. I’m also impressed by the cleanliness of the establishment, which is undoubtedly important when eating at a buffet. I can’t recommend this place enough for those looking for authentic Chinese dishes!
