The upside is that it was inexpensive, which is what drew me there in the first place. My very first time eating there in March 2026. I'll start with the good: the Hong Kong wonton soup, the egg drop soup, & the beef chow fun. I would return for these items. The bad: the duck rolls, the shrimp with lobster sauce. The duck rolls, I took one bite, and that was enough. The duck was dry, it didn't have good flavor, I'm not sure if it was particularly fresh. It tasted like it could be the duck that's about to be shrink. The shrimp in lobster sauce was the worst I've ever had. Absolutely no taste. I do not use condiments and I had to put soy sauce in it. I have hypertension, I do not use soy sauce! I had to use it to choke it down. That was the most expensive dish and almost $17 so no way that was being wasted. And there was barely any shrimp in it. The ugly: The egg roll & crispy fried noodles. The oil must be very old. The egg roll was so dark and soft with oil that the oil was dripping off of it and filling the little wax paper bag. The noodles were also too dark and tasted gross like being fried and old oil. I would never get anything fried from this place ever.

Since local Chinese-American take-outs range from 'okay' to nothing more than…read more'a-little-better-than-okay,' I thought we'd try ordering instead from a restaurant. Though we hadn't been there in years, Golden Bowl came to mind. Consensus: we spent a bit more than we usually do, but the food was a couple of notches better. As a point of comparison, we ordered our usual soups: hot & sour and egg-drop wonton. Hot & sour was thick and spicy. (To temper the heat, I cut my serving with spoonfuls of egg-drop.) Wontons were nicely filled and less doughy than our usual take-outs. Two thumbs up for the soup. Mongolian Beef is my husband's favorite. We both agreed that Golden Bowl's version is pretty good. Our other dish, Sizzling Triple Delight, is best eaten in the restaurant. Nothing was sizzling, but the components -- beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables -- were well prepared. Broccoli was al dente and the brown sauce was rich and flavorful. All-in-all, branching out paid off. We'll most assuredly do it again.

I asked T if he wanted me to cook or bring something home. "What are you making?" he asked. When I told him, without missing a beat he said "take out." Gee thanks. What we ordered was pretty good. Soup -- hot & sour and egg drop wonton -- were a tad better than last time, as were our entrees. Moo shu chicken reminded me of what I used to get in NYC. Pork egg foo young, even the sauce, hit the mark. Portions are big. Plenty of leftovers -- which I'll have this weekend while my husband eats what I would've cooked tonight!

Dan, Tao One's affable owner, advised me in the past to deal with him directly. I did and it paid off; the fish was prepared just as I like it. Worth noting that Tao One's salmon is sushi quality. A shame to spoil it by over-cooking. Broccoli, as always al dente, the way broccoli should be. T ordered the sushi and sashimi combo. I snuck a piece of tuna. Yummmm.... I may get that next time. Entrees, including sushi, come with salad and miso soup. BYOB, good prices, generous portions -- I took part of my dinner home -- and pleasant, understated ambience.

Service was great, although the dimsum itself is self-serve (you go to the steamer cart instead of the steamer cart coming to you). Food was very good quality for the price, you will be very happy, and they have authentic dimsum dishes like chicken feet, duck egg congee, stewed tripe, etc. They even have a full buffet table of stir fried, fried, and baked dimsum items. Highly recommended. PS - show up at 10:55am if you want to guarantee yourself a seat, or call ahead and make a reservation.

While were there, many Chinese-speaking people came in to eat and order out, which is always a good sign. It is a no frills, non-fancy place to eat (kiosk ordering, self serve plastic utensils). We focused mostly on the noodle dishes for this trip, and want to go back to try their other dishes (many which seem to be more geared toward the American palate, e.g, General Tsao's chicken). Deep fried dough sticks (you tiao) - 5*/5, I love these and have not found dim sum places in Chinatown that serve the light, easy to tear apart version of this anywhere and Sang Kee Asian Bistro does not offer this on their otherwise wonder dim sum menu. I am SO happy to find this and will be back again and again just for these. Along with some hot, sweetened soy milk to dip them in, this will be my special treat/snack go to item at Taste of Chang'an. Hooray! Pork & Chives dumplings - 5/5, these are very good dumplings and although I like the filling I make better, I am unwilling to make my own wrappers so I can imagine ordering these for takeout in the future as an appetizer for a party. Hot & Sour soup - 4/5, good overall but could use more hot and more sour. I appreciated how the broth was actually not broth and not as gummy as some hot and sour soups can be. Changan Biangbiang Noodles - 4/5, I appreciated the hand pulled noodles but found the ratio of pork belly pieces to the amount of noodles to be too low so after eating my way half through the bowl I had only noodles left. Flavors are good, but the next day I did not want to eat my leftovers which is a sign. Pork Ribs Noodles - 4/5, my son had this and he and I agreed the pork ribs were more flavorful than the pork belly pieces in my noodles. He also had many leftover noodles with no more meat, and did not want to eat the leftovers. Sauteed Spicy Chicken Noodle - 4/5, my husband had this and it looked more like a chicken/green pepper dish on a bed of noodles. Leftovers had a good ratio of all items in the dish and I did eat these the next day for lunch. When I go back, I'd like to try their zha jiang noodles, pork buns, scallion pancakes, and their other dishes. And I am so happy to have found somewhere on the Main Line where I can pick up fresh, hot you tiao!

The Hunan chicken was spicy with a nice variety of vegetables, but the chicken was tough and had an odd orange hue to it.

The hot and sour soup was hot but not sour, and missing the usual vegetables - there were just a lot of mushrooms. Just thinking about this food kills my appetite.

Overall, wouldn't really come back, but also wouldn't turn it down if someone else was enthusiastic.
