China Taste

My partner and I stopped here on a whim when looking for somewhere nice for dinner. We were a…read morelittle hesitant at first since the place was completely dead, but we were proven very wrong when we got our food. For appetizers, we ordered the dried dumplings ($7.50 for 6 pieces) and the sweet pork buns ($5 for 2). They were both delightful. The dumplings were pleasantly chewy, with the best crunch on the bottom. They were huge and seasoned very well. The buns were soft and pillowy, with a nice amount of meat in them. They could have been seasoned a little more, but some hot mustard really made them amazing. For our meals, we decided to order the dinner combo ($12.50). It comes with an egg roll, plain fried rice, and your entree of choice. I got orange chicken and they got Hunan chicken. Both meals were absolutely amazing, with fantastic portions. It was seasoned perfectly, and the orange chicken was crispy to the point of having an audible crunch. There were even real orange peels in the sauce! We both had leftovers to bring home and were completely full. The meal ended with fortune cookies, and a complimentary strawberry mousse. It was light, and perfectly sweet to end the meal. The service at the restaurant itself was lovely. No one was constantly over our shoulder, but our drinks stayed full and the food came out hot and quickly. The restaurant was quiet, and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend anyone in Frederick to try this place! (As you can see from some of the photos, I got a little too excited and dug in before taking photos!)

Mostly breading or whatever they coat the chicken in, and that's if there really was chicken in the dish. If there was, it was extremely flat, almost paper thin. I paid a little extra for all white meat but who could tell. I honestly couldn't tell it was chicken at all. Fora minute I considered the idea that it was chicken skin, I just think it was paper-thin chicken. The "sauce" was super thick and "gloppy" if that's a word. And it did not have a good flavor. The rice was too sticky. The broccoli was good though. I hate to leave bad reviews. I really do. Usually I just don't go back and I keep my mouth shut. Please this really wasn't good.

On **July 1, 2026**, my family placed a mobile order through the Panda Express app so we could get home in time to watch the historic U.S. Men's National Team World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. We arrived at the scheduled pickup time but still had to wait another **15 minutes** for our food. After a 30-minute drive home, just as the match was about to begin, we discovered that our order contained **beef**. My family does not eat beef due to our religious beliefs, and because the items were packed together, the meal was no longer acceptable for us. Instead of enjoying one of the biggest nights in U.S. soccer history, I had to drive another 30 minutes back to the restaurant. An employee immediately recognized the mistake and called the manager, **Jacob**. Unfortunately, that's where the experience became much worse. Rather than starting with a simple apology, Jacob kept me waiting and then said he needed to "understand the problem." He proceeded to argue about whether my order was a one-plate or two-plate meal, even though the restaurant had clearly made the mistake. Whether it was one plate or two was irrelevant--the issue was that my order was incorrect. What disappointed me most was the complete lack of accountability or empathy. Not once did Jacob apologize for the inconvenience or acknowledge that I had already wasted over an hour driving back and forth because of the restaurant's error. When I finally said that I wouldn't be returning because of how I was being treated, Jacob responded by questioning why he should refund me if I wasn't coming back. That response perfectly summed up the customer service I experienced. Mistakes happen. What defines a business is how those mistakes are handled. A manager's arrogance and unwillingness to take responsibility can be far more damaging to a restaurant chain than an occasional order mistake. Food can be replaced; lost trust is much harder to earn back. After nearly a decade of being a loyal customer, this single interaction completely changed my opinion of this location. I sincerely hope Panda Express leadership addresses this because customer loyalty is built on respect, accountability, and professionalism--not arguments with customers. The only bright spot that evening was that the U.S. Men's National Team won and advanced to the World Cup Round of 16. I just wish I had been able to enjoy more of that historic moment instead of spending it dealing with a preventable mistake.

**China Taste** If you're craving authentic Chinese cuisine, China Taste is the place to go! Their menu is packed with flavorful dishes that cater to every palate. From the crispy spring rolls to the savory General Tso's Chicken, every bite is a delight. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are attentive and friendly. It's a fantastic spot for both dine-in and take-out. Highly recommend trying their Kung Pao Chicken and the Szechuan Beef - absolutely delicious! read more

I come because the Lunch Specials are a good deal for me as I am not a big person. I get the simple Roast Pork Fried Rice and it comes with a spring roll and a cup of wonton soup (2 dumplings) with a bag of crispy fried noodles. I find it a substantial and filling lunch at a reasonable price. I'm picky about spring rolls, and these are good. They are fried well and the filling is not mushy. They don't beat the MyThai spring rolls, but they are decent "egg roll style" filling spring rolls. The crispy noodles are crisp not stale, and they taste fresh. They are great in the broth. The fried rice is the brown soy sauce style, with standard peas, carrots, and onions. The pork is flavorful and there is enough for some in every spoonful. The one thing that wasn't right is the bubble tea. They shouldn't offer bubbles, as what i got in my drink was the wrong texture. I didn't ask for jelly, but the bubbles had a sort of hard jelly like texture - No bounce. The thai tea was good, but they shouldn't offer bubbles. Please give them a try for a good lunch set meal.
