Had a great wor wanton soup lunch here today, in near solitude. I was surprised to find no other customers here, as the service was great, food was delicious and the price was very reasonable. The soup had about a half dozen medium sized shrimp, about the same number of delectable pork filled wontons, barbecued pork, chicken, carrots, broccoli, celery and more in a savory broth that would be good all by itself! As it was cold and wet outside, I was so pleased to have the waitress cone to the table with a complimentary pot of tea; wasn't sure anyplace did that anymore. Although this place is quite a distance for me, I hope to go by again for their lunch specials. read more

Oh the lady at the counter is so nice and friendly! I went in, ordered my food, went to Ocean King and came back. Foods ready! She's so good though explaining that I ordered a pound but it may be a little more because it's hard to cut it exactly. I had no problem with that. This roast duck is exactly what I needed! Crispy skin and juicy meat. I'll be back for sure! read more

So for me the food was very good lots of flavor and good portions. just what I was hoping for and better than many other mid-price Chinese restaurants. the service was good and attentive. the restaurant itself was just average. but it was clean and well kept. good place!!! read more

All of the food we ordered was super fresh and delicious. I will definitely be ordering here a lot and would recommend it to everyone! My favorite dishes are the roasted pork and pecking duck. I also love the beef chow fun. The service was great and the lady was super friendly and nice. It is pretty roomy and super clean inside!! read more

I was hoping new management would elevate the food but it didn't, at least so far. I got the beef chow fun, stewed beef and congee and it was good but not great. I'll give it a couple more tries. Service was ok. read more

This is not the same as the Good Taste in Portland Chinatown or on SE 82nd, but the owners are related. The Won Ton soup was average, while the BBQ pork had that off-putting bright pink color. Overall, a classic 3-Star. Staff are very nice. read more

Chen's Good Taste Restaurant - Won Ton soup was meh, while the pork dish pictured was much better. - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Came upon this little spot tuck in the dark. Standard Chinese eats with a splash of generousity. The Super Bowl was tasty. Lots of meat for this carnivore! Bbq pork, roast duck, roast pork belly and won tons! Yeah!!!!!! Also had to grab a side of roasted pork belly...because....well if their pork belly ain't crispy and delicious, I'll keep hunting for a better spot. But they nailed it. Juicy, fatty, crispy pork belly. The kind your doctor screams at you about as you casually give them the middle finger in your head!. Come try this place if you are in the mood for some Chinese. Woooooooo! read more

Chen's Good Taste has great Cantonese style Chinese food. Everything is fresh, and their roasted pork and duck are excellent. Our favorite dish is their Super Bowl A wonton noodle soup. I'm so happy we found this location in Vancouver. It saves us a trip to Portland! read more

Not sure why I haven't stopped here before. It's right next to where I buy live crab. Stopped in today for lunch specials. Super friendly and fast service. Run by a couple and they get busy. Between 1130 and noon all the tables filled up so get there when they open or after the lunch rush. My food was perfect. Fresh, hot, flavorful. I want to try other dishes I saw coming from the kitchen and they all looked wonderful. Entree, fried rice, spring roll, soup, hot tea, and water, was $15 out the door including tip. read more

F¥€K all the haters. Food and staff are amazing. Whatever yelp is telling me this needs to be 85 characters

Joe, the new owner, makes the best roast duck, pig, and char siu. He learned the art from his father, and that rich tradition comes through in every bite. We've enjoyed his culinary skills for over 30 years in Portland's Chinatown, and we're so glad he's back in business. Highly recommend him! A must try! Thank you, Joe, for bringing your amazing flavors back to the community! read more

The BBQ pork was perfectly done and the taste was just right balance between saltiness and sweet without overpowering! The new owner, Joe, was the owner of Good Taste in Portland China Town. Very experienced and very friendly reception of customers. read more

I have often shopped at the market next door but had never stopped in here. I was so very excited when I saw the menu that I had very high expectations and I was not disappointed at all. I had the salt fish friend rice and my partner had the crispy fried noodles with chicken. The salt fish friend rice was delicious. It's not super common to find locally, and the rice was perfect. Every grain was separate, it wasn't gummy or mushy, it wasn't overly salty or fishy, but perfect. It was eggy and delicious, and piping hot. The crispy noodles were packed separately so they wouldn't get soggy on the drive home (we took things to go) and they were amazing. The staff were very friendly, and the decor inside was cozy and clean, with a vibe that was well suited for family style dining. We went around lunch time for a to-go order. Plus they have peking duck, and ginger onion chicken...which we will definitely have to try next time we eat in person. The tripe on the menu looks good too. This place is a hidden gem. Do not pass it up! read more

Servings has been less but menu prices are still reasonable. Relatively quiet & clean place. New owner has reduced the selection on the menu. I will continue going to this restaurant occasionally. read more

A few years ago, my favorite local Chinese food restaurant went out of business. I've been searching for a new place to lay claim to, this might be it......the jury is still out. This order was a "to go" order, so I can't speak to the interior or the staff. I had a simple order, the appetizer platter and the Curry Chicken. The appetizer platter had two spring rolls, four crab puffs, four tempura fried shrimp and a huge portion of BBQ pork. I started with the crab puffs which were not great? I suspect had I eaten them right out of the fryer, they would've knocked my socks off! The flavor was good, but they were sweaty and chewy- not in a good way. They did not travel well! The tempura fried shrimp were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! So light and so good! They were so good, I could've eaten ten more easily. The spring rolls were also very delicious. I appreciate that the fried foods weren't dripping grease. The BBQ pork was typical. Not great, not bad. I didn't get the tangy red sauce I'm accustomed to, but instead had sweet and sour sauce and the hot mustard. There was zero fat, something I truly appreciate! The Curry Chicken was not at all what I expected. The menu picture shows an appetizing and appealing of mostly chicken with some red pepper showing. What I received was a pile of food dominated by huge chunks of green pepper, which I DETEST! It's not enough to pick them out as they contaminate everything they come in contact with. Also had large pieces of celery and another yucky (I know, I'm quite sophisticated!) water chestnuts. The chicken looked great and was all lean white breast meat. It had a very mild curry flavor and a family sized portion to boot! I would try it again, having the offending veggies removed. All in all, I was pleased and next time will eat in the restaurant. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese places in the area. I love that they have the thin pan fried noodles (listed as chow mein), which are surprisingly hard to find. I also get their green bean chicken, which is great. Sauce is flavorful, chicken is tender. I've also never had a long wait. I order take out online on their website, which is super easy, and by the time I drive there, it's ready! Been going here for three years and will continue as long as I'm in the area. read more

Food was good but $21 after tax is insane, and it wasn't nearly enough. Are the owners trying to buy lambos or something?

It's my go-to roast duck and stir fry place in Vancouver. They are Cantonese and serve decent porridge, wonton soup, stir fried veggies, etc. the beef tripe was just okay, but everything else is decent and affordable too. I will try their fried rice and Peking duck sometime soon! read more

I'm so pleased that I ate here! I had the Chicken Trio- lemon chicken, cashew chicken and general tso chicken. All three were delicious! In fact, I devoured almost the entire thing (which was family size) NO REGRETS! The restaurant was impeccably clean and the server was as kind and polite as can be. Going forward, whenever work brings me to the greater Vancouver/Portland area I will definitely be dining here! read more

Chen's Good Taste Restaurant - Chicken Trio - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This is a small mom and pops with great food. However, They should notify their customers if the potted version of the dish is not available as the price is higher and we were charged for it. There is a reason people order food in a pot and to serve it because the establishment is out of pots and then charge customers at higher price is not acceptable. read more

I placed a huge order to feed 15 people. I think I ended up feeding 30 or more with all the extra food that was left over! I needed to pick up the order at 11:30, but they don't open until 11:30 so I called & was told no problem. When I walked in at 11:32, my order was boxed up & ready to go! The food was beautiful & tasty. It was a huge hit with everyone! We had a little bit of everything for everyone - chicken, beef, pork, tofu, spicy, mild - the whole gambit. I made sure everyone knew where the food came from so they could also support this small place. Don't judge it by the building. It's a little worn, but the people are lovely & welcoming. We will definitely return! Thank you for making our lunch a success! read more

I was craving Chinese food while in town for the week and my sister who lives out in Vancouver found Good Taste, which was one of the few Chinese restaurants closest to her where we could order takeout from. We placed an order online through their website for a variety of items such as Egg Drop Soup, Chicken with Green Bean, Lo Mein with Beef, House Lo Mein, Chicken with Broccoli, Beef Chow Fun with Bean Sprouts, and House Special Fried Rice. I was hoping to be blown away by their food, but I was sadly disappointed with the quality and lack of flavors. In fact, I wasn't the only one in my family who felt this way. The only thing we liked was how seamless their website was for placing an order. Honestly, their food could have been better. read more

We used to go to the Portland location and heard Chen's relocated to Vancouver. So happy to see them. The food is fresh and the service is friendly. Loved the roast duck, chow fun, and fried rice. The skin on the roast pork was crispy and flavorful. Will definitely return. read more

Very fresh and authentic Chinese food, and we spent many years in San Francisco, where our office work was close to Chinatown. They have a large menu and are happy to accommodate health needs. This is a family restaurant and the owner and servers are all very nice people and greet us as regulars when we eat there. It's also a large, comfortable restaurant with convenient off-street parking. You can get the usual dishes that people often order but also some wonderful, authentic offerings. This is a regular favorite of ours. read more

Was craving Salted Fish & Chicken Eggplant Claypot and wanted to give this place a try. It was late afternoon and we were the only diners. However the place is pretty busy with a lot of takeout orders. We started with the congee w/ thousand year egg. It came with ground pork which I highly would not recommend adding. The congee and egg by itself was good, but the taste and texture of the ground pork was a little gamey. Congee and egg was a solid 8, ground pork brought it down to a 6. Our next dish was the roasted pork. Decent flavor but wasn't as great as the location in Hillsboro I tried a few years back. 7.5/10. Last but not least was the main dish. Good sized portion. Good temperature. Flavor was good but would have been better if there were salted fish in it. My wife and I tried to 'fish' for it to no avail. However it did hit the spot and I would order this dish again albeit missing one key ingredient. 8/10. Service was great. The waitress checked up on us a few times and made sure our waters were filled at all times. Bumps our experience to 4 . This place is typically known for their wonton noodle soup so I'll have to try and compare it to their sister restaurant in Hillsboro next time. read more

We met our neighbors for a meal on a Sunday afternoon on their recommendation and were impressed with all the dishes we ordered. We each picked a different dish and shared. We didn't have to wait long for our food even though there was a huge party going on in the back of the restaurant. A unassuming restaurant that delivers really good food! A must try! read more

My god. Literally the best bbq pork in town. You know it's good when the color of it looks naturally dark reddish brown, and has a shiny glaze over it. Unlike the Americanized chop suey restaurants that dye theirs bright red/pink and tastes dry. Sometimes, Just a simple order of the bbq pork and rice is enough for me, and brings back good memories of my days in San Fran. If you order it, try to ask to see if they have the dark end pieces left, because in my opinion, that has the best flavor. read more

Don't mind the sign outside of the restaurant. It looks like it's falling off! Inside, it is neat and cozy. It's my first time to try a Chinese restaurant here coming from Hawaii so I know a good tasting place when I try it. I have to say, " their food is very delicious!" I ordered the salt and pepper pork chops.. yummy! Crispy and juicy and the garlic taste is to die for! My eyes rolled back in ecstasy because that's how good it tasted! We ordered the chicken with ginger and green onions and I have to tell you it reminded me of home. We ordered the half chicken which is boiled or steamed and the side sauce which is ginger with green onions is super delicious! I'm very impressed. Their house fried rice is tasty and of course we ordered house special chow mein and they are all rated 5 star as far as my taste buds go. I highly recommend this place for some comfort foods indeed. The only downside is that they don't serve roast pork since covid started. I just hope they would have that in the menu in the future. We left with full tummies and pure satisfaction. Definitely would come back again! read more

Everything was fresh and flavorful. The chicken was tender and juicy. I ordered without mushrooms and extra spicy. It came as I ordered. I like spicy and the extra is perfect for me. The fired potstickers were flavorful. I would prefer more stuffing but they are close to typical. It's enough for three meals for me which makes it a huge value. I will be ordering from them again, and going when in-house dinning is available. read more

This place is incredible! Thus far in three visits I've had three different veggie dishes, noodles, fried rice, chicken wings, and egg rolls; each dish more delicious than the last. You can tell the staff really cares about customer service, they check in frequently enough that you are never kept waiting and the attention to detail is impeccable. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic experience! read more

I love the roast pork here . They have a mix of American Chinese food and more real Chinese food. I happen to love the chowmein with the bean sprouts as a comfort food and I can get a delicious plate if it here. Everything I have had is delicious and I am looking forward to the day they are open for indoor dining again. Trust me if the roast pork is available , you want that. read more

So there aren't that many Chinese restaurants in Vancouver, and time and time again I am disappointed. However, that is NOT the case for Good Taste Restaurant! Good Taste Restaurant tastes like home! My mom is from Taiwan and my dad is from Hong Kong, so I grew up eating some real good food. Unfortunately, I do not know how to cook this food myself and my family is not local. That is why I am so grateful for Good Taste Restaurant!! It is my go to comfort food destination. It's also very convenient to call for take out and pick it up. The service is always fast and accommodating - whether dining in or ordering to go. I recommend this restaurant to everyone! The portions are generous, the food is consistent in flavor and taste, and the prices are appropriate! My personal favorites are the beef chow fun, wonton noodle soup, and honey walnut shrimp. Show this restaurant some love because I don't know what I would do without this restaurant!! read more
