" I was thrilled to discover Taste of China! The food is incredible and genuinely reminiscent of dishes I tried while traveling in China. The spicy fish was heavenly and the texture was spot on. The service was friendly, though a bit slow as the restaurant was busy that evening. Nonetheless, this place is a must-try for anyone craving genuine Chinese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Chinese comfort food, Taste of China should be your stop. The sweet and sour pork was well-balanced, and the curry chicken was fragrant. An inside tip: ask for the seasonal specials if you're curious about authentic routes on their menu! I'll be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit, I tried the crispy fried fish and hot and sour soup. Both were their standout items, bursting with flavor and authenticity. The staff was courteous and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. The only downside was the wait time, which was longer than expected. Regardless, I will be recommending this place to friends looking for delicious Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" When craving genuine Chinese food, there's only one place I think of, and that's Taste of China! The beef dishes are particularly noteworthy. The authenticity in flavor is refreshing, making it one of my favorites in the area. The service is consistent, but I've noticed it can occasionally be slow during peak times, which affects the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance was decent, it was the food that truly shone at Taste of China! I ordered the beef and broccoli, and while the dish was tasty, the beef could’ve used a bit more seasoning for my liking. The service was reasonably quick. Overall, a good spot for Chinese food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste of China was a delightful surprise. The menu has a plethora of authentic options, and I was particularly impressed by their rendition of Szechuan-style spicy dishes. The portions were decent, and I found it a bit pricey for takeout. The ambiance is friendly but could capitalize on more decorative touches. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a gathering at Taste of China. The wide selection of dishes pleased everyone at the table, particularly the shrimp dumplings and crispy wontons. However, the service was not what I expected; they seemed overwhelmed, which resulted in unusually long waits for drinks and some courses. I would return again for the food but keep my expectations in check for the service. " (*Curated Review*)
