This is my favorite go-to Chinese restaurant. Food is always delicious and portions are generous. I also love the staff. Always friendly.

I should have known it wasn't going to be good when it was ready in 10 minutes. Gave it a second chance and quickly remembered why we go to Hunan Legend instead. read more

Fantastic Chinese carryout! Amy is a lovely person who handles phone/in-person orders and checkouts with expertise and a special kindness. They have the best steamed dumplings! Everything is delicious, but the dumplings are seriously amazing. Highly recommend China Taste!! read more

The best Chinese food in Maryland, hands down! Huge portions, great prices. I highly recommend the shrimp toast, beef ho fun with spicy added, and orange chicken. Give them a try, you won't regret it read more

Horrible experience. Charged my credit card twice. I'm in the middle of a dispute. Food mediocre.

Started going there during Covid! Knew it was good when 10 people were waiting for orders are on the sidewalk. My go to for carry out. Food is excellent! read more

I had sesame chicken and it was absolutely slapping. They put out the food super quick too.

I like China Taste and recommend it for carry out delivery. China Taste located in Enchanted Forest shopping center serves both Chinese and Thai dishes. It does not feature in-restaurant dining from what I could see. Our order was carry out, the service at the door was excellent and efficient. Food was ready within 15 minutes. We ordered mostly Chinese food, fried pork dumplings and pork egg rolls, vegetable egg foo-young, general Tso's Chicken with vegetable fried rice and Thai Basil Beef. All food was prepared well, and tasted great. The egg rolls could almost be mistaken for small burritos they were so large. As an appetizer they could almost be a meal by themselves. The vegetable egg foo-young held plentiful portions of vegetables including bean sprouts, carrots, broccoli and onion. The Thai Basil Beef was flavorful and the beef was soft and easy to chew. All portions were plentiful ensuring we had multiple opportunities to enjoy again with leftovers. The only reason I am giving four versus five stars for this excellent restaurant is the lack of in restaurant dining and if I could give fractional stars I would. read more

The Only Review You Need To Read Based on the recommendation of my parents, we decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed. The chow mein had bean sprouts (which was a requirement), and the combination fried rice was cooked perfectly. Plenty of deliciously plump shrimp as well. And the shrimp egg rolls has just the right amount of greasiness to them (I don't like them dry or with too much cabbage - these had the correct ratio). We live right door in Columbia, so since it took 20 minutes for our order to be ready, they brought our bag out right as we were walking through the front door. Excellent timing. They do have a small seating area if you choose to eat it there hot & fresh. I like the self-serve option for your sauces (soy, duck, mustard & hot). Plenty of parking, smiling faces and delicious food is what earns this restaurant a five star rating in my book. that guy giving the "thumbs up" sign? That's how I feel about their food. read more

Placed an order over the phone. Went up to pick up the order. Said order could not be located and they sent us out of the store. Poor customer service. Not to mention, they called us 25 minutes later saying they have the order and if we want to cancel or keep it. Their excuse was they have too many customers....go somewhere else. Pathetic. read more

I think this is one of the better Chinese take out places in Ellicott City. I can't say the food is awesome, but the dishes had good flavor. The main thing I noticed is their dishes are less "gloppy" and not overloaded with sauce as other places are. My family all felt the the meal was less heavy and more fresh tasting. We felt better after eating the food here than some other Chinese take out places in the area. We would definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

This was my first time here and I thought it was really good. I got the dinner special sesame shrimp. It came with your choice of rice and you were able to pick 2 appetizers. I got the shrimp spring roll and the crab Rangoon. It was all really really good and the price was great. The dinner special is only $14. The staff was also very friendly and super quick. I'll definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Best fried rice I've ever had. Best service as well! The food comes out fast if you're in a hurry. Thanks :)

Spent $30 on food and everything was really bland. I truly wondered if we got a batch where they forgot to use seasonings. Even the chicken in our chicken fried rice was bland. The fried wings were just okay. I won't return. The cashier was nice. No complaints there. read more

We ordered $70 worth of food and ALL of it was bland. The fried rice had no flavor nor did the egg rolls. So disappointing!

Horrible rude customer service. Never going back. Being very very rude to me for waiting inside on a cold day when there were many seats still available she showed me an attitude saying that other customers were waiting outside. She was lying. Didn't have her facts straight. They chose to sit outside because they were smoking. And yet she blamed it on me. What customer service does not allow people to sit and wait inside on a cold day . I was only waiting 7 mins for my ride after receiving my order. It's not like i was even waiting 30 mins. I am taking my business to fast wok and have informed all my various groups I am part of which consists of around 500 people to take their business elsewhere. Fast wok has clean, friendly service and food is great. Do not go to China Taste. As an update: the food was below expectations. Not fully cooked and like I said much better Chinese food at Fast Wok and other places. But for me the customer service matters most and with the hostess being so unnecessarily rude, I have convinced many businesses who were planning to buy here for holiday lunches to go elsewhere. Once you are rude to 1 person you lose the business of many read more

They're closed Mondays so keep that in mind. Got the General Tso Shrimp. Shrimp were very large and tasty. The sauce was good but very runny. The rice was dry and the broccoli was barely cooked. I couldn't chew it. Lunch special came with a cream cheese Rangoon. I'm use to them coming with egg rolls lol and it was ok. read more

Very good place for Chinese food carry out. The food is fresh, hot and delicious, and they give you a very generous amount. We got their chicken broccoli dinner special, that came with the entree, rice, soup and egg roll for $10. Also their salt and pepper shrimp, which were jumbo shrimp batter fried with hot peppers and a side of steamed steamed rice. I also got a small chicken noodle soup, it had a nice amount of tender shredded chicken and lo mein noodles in a delicious broth. I liked it that they have a choice of steamed white rice or brown rice $1 extra charge. Good food and nice value. read more

My first pick order from China Taste. My usual place was closed today and I was quite pleased to find this little take out. Everything, I mean everything, was amazing and the portions gigantic. The photos are after three of us ate, so we have at least two more meals. We could not even eat the Hot and Sour soup. I am pretty picky when it comes to Hot and Sour, and I have to say that the food reminds me of my favorite places in NYC Chinatown. A must return to establishment, 5 stars for a take out!!!! read more

In weary of a new restaurant, I decided to go with the flawless chicken Lo Mein. Not only was I greeted with utmost kindness and respect, but the pickup process is streamlined and efficient. The food! Wonderful. As a former chef, I can taste no part of this meal was frozen or using pre-products. Wonderful read more

I've grown up loving Chinese food, including some of the maybe more Americanized Chinese restaurants; therefore, I get an itch to get Chinese food ever so often. I endearing call the places I went to grew up in the rough part of Philly as "ghetto Chinese food", and as great as authentic Chinese food is, I just want the Americanized ghetto kind sometimes. I can't be the only one who thinks like this, can I? China Taste, where I had originally did not have a great experience, has really grown on me. There are several local places I order take out from, and I've tried this restaurant to several more times to really evaluate what I think about them. I've tried a few items now, and I admit maybe I was a bit too harsh. I am definitely willing to update my review and not so stubborn to not change my thoughts. I've tried their Triple Delight, Chicken and broccoli, Pepper Steak and Onions, General Tso, Egg Foo young, pork dumplings, chicken wings, and a couple soups. My thoughts are they were mostly good. I especially liked the soups that come with the lunch specials, both Egg drop and won tong soups were flavorful and a perfect compliment to the entrees I ordered. My favorite items were Pepper Steak and Onions, Chicken with broccoli, Crispy Chicken Wings, and I especially liked the soups that come with the lunch specials. Both Egg drop and wonton soups were flavorful and a perfect compliment to the entrees I ordered. I think I knocked them for being a bit scant on the meat in my original review, and they were in triple delight which has beef, chicken, and shrimp, and again they skimped on the Shrimp again (only a couple pieces). Still, the other items were to my liking and had great taste (pun intended). It has satisfies my itch for American-Chinese food whenever I'm in the mood To make up for my harsh original review, I'll update to give China Taste 4 stars. read more

Very good food. They are one of our go-to places for local Chinese food. The chicken curry is excellent!

My favorite Chinese food take out in the area. Best Singapore noodles around. Friendly service.

I'm so sad to share this experience as the line was out the door and the food smelled amazing! The customer service is top notch. However, as a first time patron, my main entrees were horrible! The egg rolls & shrimp toast were great. The Gen Tso's chicken (white meat) was cooked so hard, that it was beyond crispy and no matter how much sauce I dipped it in, I couldn't even swallow it. My wife's beef & broccoli was so dry and tasted rotten. Sadly, we will not be returning. read more

Firstly, I'm not too big of a fan of Chinese food. But, after reading all the raving reviews of this place, I decided to try this place out. I ordered carry out and although I ordered pad thai, they used the wide noodles that you use for drunken noodles, and I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to taste...? Not only that, I honestly don't think they knew what it was because when I put in my order over the phone, the worker had to clarify my order a few times. Luckily, I think the saving grace was their sesame chicken. It wasn't overly sweet and the chicken was done right - no chewy mush like how some places do it. I honestly feel that they should just remove the entrees on the menu that they're less familiar with or maybe I should have known better than to order Thai food at a Chinese food place! read more

We've become regulars because of the good quality of their food. In my experience it's mostly a hit or miss with Chinese restaurants. Their meat never smells and their food has never caused any stomach upset or uneasiness. Taste is pretty good as well- value for the buck. Our fav. - beef fried rice, chicken dishes read more

I am Chinese, and I feel the Chinese food here is authentic. They have such a large variety of dishes as well. They are quick and well portioned! read more

My friend introduced me to this little place a few years ago. They don't have delivery but they don't lose any stars because they are THAT good. I recently moved to Virginia, sadly for me that means no more China Taste. Nothing around me compares! If you haven't tried them, run there now! Their food is always fresh, their shrimp is massive and they're so nice! Missing China Taste from Virginia. read more

I was really excited to eat at this place cause of the reviews but them was disappointed Fried mix rice was dry Lo mein had no flavor read more

Ordered takeout a few times. It was quite busy and it took quite a while. Flavors are standard American fast-Chinese food.

Great find for a Chinese takeout! Kung pao chicken is really good!! And the service is great as well!

The food and service was good. Even though it's a carry-out place, there are two tables if you want to eat-in. We came here on a Sunday right as they opened. They had a steady stream of customers the whole time we were there. Overall a great choice to satisfy your chinese food cravings. read more

I looked up Chinese restaurants near where I was located. I checked out various places and their reviews. China Taste had the most 5 star reviews. I stopped here for a late lunch and was surprised by the amount of food received for a reasonable price. I was going to take the food back to work but decided to eat inside because I was so hungry and the food was hot and I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. The lunch was good and went down well . read more
