" Upon entering A Taste of China, I was greeted by a warm ambiance that immediately made me feel at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and after taking a moment to soak in the decor, we were ready to dig into the buffet. The selection, while not overwhelming, was impressive in terms of quality. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The chicken teriyaki was a highlight for me, complimented by perfectly cooked fried rice. My only wish was for more dessert options! We left fully satisfied and looking forward to our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" A Taste of China has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. Their shrimp fried rice is out of this world! The atmosphere is cozy, with a friendly staff that makes you feel at home. In all my visits, the portion sizes have never disappointed. Each meal is satisfying, leaving you wanting more! I appreciate the consistency they maintain with their flavors. This is my 'go-to' Chinese spot in Cookeville! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best experience at A Taste of China! The buffet was filled with various dishes that were both delicious and fresh. I particularly loved the dumplings which were simply amazing. It's evident that this place serves food made with love! The staff treated us like family, making sure our drinks were full and our plates were cleared promptly. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Chinese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went for the buffet last weekend and were thrilled with how fresh everything was! You don't often find that quality in buffet settings. The staff was accommodating and eager to ensure we were satisfied. Even though it was busy, they managed to clear our plates promptly and refill drinks. I'm a huge fan of Chinese food, and this place might just be my new favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited A Taste of China recently for the first time and had high hopes based on the reviews. Sadly, my experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The service was confusing; it took a while for our orders to be taken and even longer for the food to arrive. When it did, I found it lacked salt and seasoning. My sweet and sour pork was more tart than sweet. I appreciate that it’s family-owned, but I believe they have some consistency issues. I might give it another try, but with lower expectations next time. " (*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!
