      China Taste restaurant's menu includes typical Chinese-American foods such as crab rangoon, spring roll, wonton soup, fried rice, chow mein, lo mein, egg foo young, general tso's chicken, moo shu pork, chicken with broccoli, pepper steak with onion, and sweet and sour shrimp. Prices are average.

      This restaurant seems to offer mostly takeout and delivery. I ordered three entrees for delivery. The employees quickly cooked my foods.

      At home, I ate the Broccoli with Garlic Sauce, the Hunan Shrimp, and the Kung Pao Shrimp. Some of the sauces had leaked out of the containers, so perhaps the cook could include a little less sauce. All of the ingredients were very fresh. I would not call China Taste my favorite Chinese restaurant, but the foods had good flavors.

      I need to give propers to this little local hole-the-wall. When I moved here 7 years ago, it wasn't that good; but post-pandemic, they have figured some things out. They are rocking it. Hot, fast, tasty -- just what you want from an American Chinese food joint. I get the Buddhist Delight and Spring Rolls and my hubs gets the moo goo gai pan, chicken lo main, and won ton soup. Everything is fresh and generously portioned. Staff is efficient but friendly. I would rank most of their takeout 5 stars. Really it's a 4.25/4.5 restaurant; it's not a place you want to eat in, the decor is worn, and the spring rolls can be overly greasy (though still delicious). But for a takeout spot it hits the spot. Please don't change, except figuring out how to keep the spring rolls from being saturated

      I was in dire need of Chinese food and decided to give China Taste a try.
      The place is very small and virtually only take out or delivery.
      There is some seating although I would not want to eat there.
      I ordered beef and broccoli and vegetable chow mien.
      The vegetable chow mein was ok definitely not worth mentioning again.
      The beef and broccoli I did not like at all, The beef tasted funny.
      I would not go there again and I could not recommend them to any one else.
      Since there is so many great chines food places I will try a new place the next time.

      Ordered from them for the first time. Not super friendly (3 stars), but, at least they said "thank you - come again" (3.5 stars for this). Food was better than I expected (I'd like to give them 3.75 stars but I can't. I've only had it once, but I'm going to go back (so it couldn't be bad). I can't give 3.5 stars overall so I'm giving 4 since 3 is too low.

      I've been nervous for China Taste as they were closed for almost the entirety of Covid-19. In fact, I believe they closed mid-March and didn't open again until early June.

      I've been keeping careful tabs of all the restaurants on Ohio Street, so when I saw China Taste was open again I immediately called in a order.

      Food was ready 10 minutes later and came out piping hot! As this was my wife and my first time, we opted for the most Westernized of dishes--General Tso's chicken and Sesame chicken--to gauge this place against our American-Chinese standards.

      I'm happy to report that the food tasted great and the portions were generous. The to-go container was heaping and so I ended up saving the egg roll for the day after. Still tasted good after reheating in the microwave.

      Where the meal exceeded my expectations was in the fried rice which had pieces of actual roast pork (char siu - 叉燒). This style of roast pork is very popular in the regions around Hong Kong where I spent two years working during college. Every other fried rice I've had in the US is typically ham so I really appreciated the flavors of my home-away-from-home.

      Would love to come back and try more of the menu soon!

      The best Chinese food in the North Side neighborhood in my opinion. Very fast service and friendly staff. The food is delicious and very filling. Would highly recommend the sesame shrimp and the crab rangoons.

      Veeeery good! First time I've had it in about 7 years and now it seams to be even better than before. Ordered on grubhub for lunch at work and it arrived in about 40 minutes. I ordered the sesame chicken with white rice and a side of fried dumplings with a shrimp egg roll.

      The sesame chicken was excellent. Was still crispy and had a crunch when you bbit it even though it was doused in the savory sauce. White rice was good and tasted fresh I mean you can't really mess up rice. The MVP was the dumplings omg. They were huge to start, perfectly seasoned, not sure what the dipping sauce was but it went really well with the pork. I sliced one in half and I could see the actual seasonings (green onions?) that they put into the pork so I knew they were not some pre-made freezer meat.

      Only drawback was the shrimp egg roll that didn't taste too fresh and seamed to have bacon bits it it lol. Oh and they never sent my 10 fortune cookies I ordered (I'm addicted to them)

      We ordered takeout from China Taste for the first time over the weekend. We ordered crab Rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, hot and sour soup, and house special Lo mein. Everything arrived still hot (we ordered delivery) and the food was delicious. They also supplied us with lots of napkins, Utensils, and sauces. I was surprised to see some of the lower star ratings. I guess this place has recently stepped their game up. We will definitely order takeout from here again, especially since we live fairly close.

      Ordered for a group of four. Two got kinda sick and two really sick. Called and china taste would take absolutely no responsibility, "it must have been something else" was their response. It was not, and if you order there say a little prayer before you eat at the least!
