China taste has been an area standard for quite a while. Well they're dine in area has been closed due to Covid restrictions the takeout still does a very brisk business. Call ahead, online or at the window orders are excepted. Easy parking and pick up area although a little tight inside when it gets crowded. Extensive online menu offers a variety of Chinese standards from various regions. They will also modify menu options to align with dietary needs. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and flavors is great. Try the house special soup! read more

Lights were off when I walked in and while my partner and I dinned in. (Yes they were open) Food tasted like something you would buy from the store and warm up. Not worth it in my opinion! read more

Under New Ownership. Now, food and service average to below average. Mediocre. The previous place was a guaranteed delicious experience, but now not so much. Food more expensive, but less quality. I would not recommend. read more

The food at China Taste is always so good! Large portions so plenty of leftovers. Lunch special prices are amazing! read more

The food was good, a little too spicy for my taste, but it was good. It was probably 95 degrees outside. I walk in and they don't have the A/C on inside and it was so hot and uncomfortable. The atmosphere inside made my experience unbearable. I ate as fast as I could to get out. Not sure I will go back. read more

The food here is a great deal and its pretty good too. Its not the best Chinese takeout I have ever had but for the amount of food that you can get for 10$ I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I recommend the general tso's chicken combo. read more

Good food. Great Service, I been eating here for over 15 years. ‍,.................................................

Pretty good, typical Chinese fare. I ordered the sesame chicken combo. The rice is very well seasoned...you can taste the wok! Delicious. But the chicken was a little over breaded and they use dark meat chicken. Good spicy brown sauce. Egg roll was just ok, pretty standard. The menu is small, but there's a few chicken, seafood, and beef dishes. They've built this temporary interior area with plexiglass and a wood frame, presumably for the pandemic. It makes the take out and waiting area very small. Then there's a narrow door that opens up and you can come into the dining room to eat your food if you're dining in. The setup is just a little odd. Glad we tried somewhere new, but I wasn't blown away. read more

Rice is good just a little mushy. Crab rangoons are good big and crunchy. Sweet and sour sauce was okay kinda watery read more

Good food for cheap. Love the chicken on the stick, crab rangoons, and house special lo mein. They're pretty fast with orders may be faster than Jimmy John's. read more

I love China taste. It's the only Chinese restaurant I go to. I've been eating here since I was a kid. And as usual I get the same thing. Combination shrimp & broccoli platter with white rice, add mushrooms. Shrimp eggrolls and Crabragoon. If it isn't broke don't fix it Greasy goodness. There chicken wings are huge and tasty. The Chicken noodle soup also good. read more

China Taste - Shrimp and broccoli platter - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

My friend & I decided to stop here for supper. The sign said the dining hall was open, but when we walked in the side door, it looked like the place was under construction - a crude 2x4 with plastic enclosure confined customers to a 6'x8' area. We asked if they were open for dine-in. Rather than say "yes" a gentleman simply opened the crude door and waited for us to walk through. No greeting, no welcome, no smile. Nothing. When no one came to our table, we walked up to the counter to order. The same rude gentleman who begrudgingly opened the door for us continued to be just as rude. He refused to give me a glass of water with my meal, but said I had to buy a $2 bottle of water out of the refrigerator. The meal was okay. Not bad, but certainly nothing special. Nobody came to ask how it was. They acted like we arrived unannounced and uninvited to a private family dinner. The bottom line is that the guy up front was EXTREMELY rude. Even if the food was awesome I would likely not go back. But with extraordinarily rude service, and mediocre food, this is a "never again" restaurant. The Soup Nazi was funny on Seinfeld, but not in real life. read more

First and foremost I'd like to comment on the customer service. I know the area has a lot of panhandlers and people with mental health issues and those employed might tend to loose a lot of patience dealing with people. Outside of this, the employees need to find a better way to deal with whatever problems they are having and stop treating every customer that patronizes the business with bias and rudeness. Your customers are the ones that determine your success as restaurant owners. Try and be more polite. I ordered the broccoli chicken, crab Rangoon, and shrimp toast. Asked for sweet and sour sauce. Was given two which I thought was not enough for 6 crab ragoon and 4 shrimp toast..but ok?? Then when using the sweet and sour sauce, it was so watered down that it did not cling to the food. Which is probably the reason the worker felt two was enough. So thin, will go a long way without flavor. What a turn off. I know times may be hard, but try not to water it down so much to make it stretch. People are paying to enjoy the food that you have prepared. Then while eating the shrimp toast, it lacked consistency...no shrimp. So it tasted like flavored bread. Once again, dont overdue trying to stretch products. It wont benefit you. It will only make your customers mad and not want to patronize your business. Try and even out the portions. Broccoli is just as expensive as chicken. By you adding more broccoli, it's not saving you any money there. Its just gonna upset your customers and because there weren't even portions, most people will end up throwing the excess broccoli away. Try serving less rice. The crab Rangoon was on point. So I gave you 3 stars based on my experience. read more

Try the combination roast pork chow mein with fried rice. This is Chinese comfort food!

Came here after my art exhibit and everything was great! I been looking for a authentic Chinese food and I found it!! 100/10 on great flavor! Will come here more often. read more

I've ordered takeout from here a few times and it hasn't disappointed once. Great food and friendly staff will always keep me coming back.

Once in a while, I stopped by China Taste. This location is new since the old location is near Creighton. The food quality is pretty consistent, from the dinner option to buffet option. The flavor is not much different with other Chinese restaurant. Lunch special is 6.95 with lots of choices: beef broccoli, general tso chicken, egg drop, egg fo young, some other items. No one can't beat the price at this place I think. I feel that the buffet is always greasier than if you order items off the menu. The inside is a little bit clean, but the floor is greasy. There is no place to put your dishes after you are done, so you just leave them on the table. This results on table filled with trash and employees don't clean them that often. read more

China Taste is right off of Cuming Street across from part of Creighton University. Stopped in for a weekday lunch. China Taste has a full menu, but the bargain is the Express Buffet which runs you $6.95 during lunch. Very good deal. Drink is extra. Order/pay at the counter and there is plenty of seating. Lunch is bustling. The Buffet has approximately 20 items to choose from. This includes two (2) choices of soup, standard egg rolls, crab rangoons, steamed/fried rice, lo mein, and a decent selection of entrees such as General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, Pork with Garlic Sauce, Pepper Chicken, etc. Made several trips through the buffet and everything I got had good taste. Would definitely hit this place up again for lunch read more

So I went into this place seeing that it had good reviews. I ask what the lo mein had in it and he said chicken shrimp and beef. I walk back to hotel in 90 degree heat and I take a bite in the beef and guess what... it's pork. After calling them and asking why they put pork,he said they add beef for one dollar. He never mentioned the word pork when I ordered! I was really hungry and short on cash so I asked them if they can make me one without pork. They were going to charge me another $13!! They were rude on the phone and in person. Telling my whole team not to go there. read more

I feel it's a good sign when you walk into a lunch spot and it is full of construction workers. China Taste is affordable, with a good variety of buffet options for the price. The spice level is suitable for a Midwest palate, that is to say... not very spicy. Food is fresh and hot. The egg rolls were notable - hot, and cooked in clean oil at the correct temperature. This is not a "date night" restaurant if you are looking for ambience. It is a practical and affordable hot lunch option. read more

They forgot my order. The chicken was burnt and very unsettling tasting. There was a long line but, It didn't seem to be people who had ever been there before and no one was raving about the food. read more

Delicious. Always recommend to anyone looking for a quick, tasty bite. Service is friendly and fast, and the food is simply delectable. read more

China Taste - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've driven by this place for a while now, but tried it for the first time today. I ordered online for a lunch pickup and it was ready immediately ... like within minutes. For $5.85, I ordered the "small" chicken and veggies and it was the perfect size... it actually was bigger than I expected. It came with a side of white rice (and a fortune cookie), and the meat/veggies and rice both came in those classic square Chinese takeout boxes that I love so much. The inside lobby was closed due to COVID, but they had a side door to pick up to-go orders. The food was good ... would totally come again, especially for $6! read more

Consistency is key- and China Taste delivers. As promised in my first review- I want to check back in and give them the deserved star update. We live nearby and they are a wonderful asset to have when I just dont feel like cooking or we have a late night hankering for sweet and sour soup. The dine in and take out services have been consistent as well as the food and we order different menu items all the time. It's still more Americanized than traditional, but I accept that and focus on the good eats. read more

China Taste - Some crazy large hot delicious chicken wings- for a good price! - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

China taste just moved down off of 17th and Cumings. I have never been to the old spot so this was a new experience for me. The parking lot was almost full and the place was packed. (good sign) I got the lunch buffet and friend ordered the shrimp egg foo young. I was very pleased with the buffet. All the items were fresh, warm, and really good quality. The egg foo young on the buffet was one of the better I have had in Omaha. Lots of greens mixed in and the brown gravy had a really good saltyness to it that I enjoyed. It was a very basic buffet with limited choices but all the choices were really good. Im a new fan and cant wait to go back again. Maybe next week read more

I really enjoyed the food! it was amazing and came i. large portions. I wish indoor dinning was open now though.

So this place is a little run down but it is amazing the food that they serve here is great. They have delivery and order from the phone option and it works out really well. AS a college student it works for me cause it's so close to my school and the food was great. There is a big seating area and I bet people would enjoy it a lot. read more

china taste was really good. Their portions are quite large and the price point was really good. I got the Mongolian beef, probably not the best I have ever had. But the portions were great, vegetables felt fresh, beef was pretty good. I got this to go, but I thought the service was pretty good and fast. read more

China Taste does not taste like it use to. My husband went to get shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp. Shrimp egg foo yong with extra shrimp, and shrimp egg rolls. The shrimp fried rice was ok but the egg rolls had NO shrimp and the egg foo yong with extra shrimp had little to no shrimp in them but a whole lot of onions. Of course he was charged for the extra shrimp in both. The food don't even taste the same, China Taste use to be my favorite restaurant but I guess I will have to look around for another Chinese restaurant. read more

I work just down the street from China Taste and have been many times over the past year or so but haven't reviewed it for some reason. So, here we go. I've only had the lunch buffet, so this review is of that. First off, the value for the dollar is as good as it gets. A buffet and water, if you pay cash, is 7 bucks as of the writing of this review. Great deal. The buffet is what you expect from any Chinese buffet you might have visited before. They typically keep the food hot and fresh and it's good. You've got several chicken and beef dishes, rice, lo mein, and two soups from which to choose. They have fried donuts for dessert, so what more can one want? The place doesn't look big from the road but there is typically plenty of seating. The folks that run it aren't going to knock you out with their charm but they are very nice and get you in, paid, and eating in no time. If you are looking for an inexpensive, satisfying, and quick lunch north of downtown, this is your spot. I don't eat in the quantities I used to, despite my robust waist line, but I do enjoy the variety of a buffet from time to time. If you do as well, give this place a try. read more

We use to be loyal to Red Dragon but they don't seem to be open or their phone number doesn't work because they never answer. So, we tried this place out and we love it! Their dining area is new, up to date, and clean but we usually just get to-go. Their food is always ready in a very fast manner while still maintaining its fresh quality. We've tried a few different things and we've found that the Sesame chicken and Crab Rangoon are consistently delicious. My wife really likes the Hot & Sour soup and I found the Seafood Soup to be pretty good. It was more of an entrée than a soup but the seafood seemed fresh and the taste was good. read more

Went here based on some reviews, but I know that it's usually best to read the whole review before judging. Most of the negatives were personal service issues......so......we went for lunch and I do agree that no prices with the food pics is not very impressive, but who cares! Have the buffet!!! Cheap, hot, good food! The place was clean and the people were polite! We already decided that we would be back!!! The broccoli chicken was great, as well as the soup and doughnuts!!!!!! Give it a try...you may be surprised....we were! read more

I really liked this place for take out. Their hot and sour soup isn't my favorite, but ou've lined their chicken and noodle dishes. However after today had to give 1 star. I ate the lunch buffet and everything was cold. Only 1 item was hot. This isn't just about subpar food. The taste would have been fine but being cold is a health code violation. Even the soup wasn't hot. Very disappointing especially since I use to come here for take out. read more

Just moved into the area and was looking for a good Chinese takeaway place. This place certainly fits the bill. Food was excellent, service was quick and friendly. We will certainly be back here again. Highly recommend the orange beef and the egg rolls too. Prices are very reasonable. read more

The staff is rude and was willing to take back OPENED food from a wrong order during COVID-19. This is a health hazard and the food did not taste like anything at all. I got a spicy dish and instead it tasted like nothing. The restaurant is very run down itself so them taking back opened food during a pandemic is all you need to know. read more

Average Chinese food. Greasy but will fulfill your cravings. Staff was reluctant to do substitutions. There are usually a few homeless people inside but don't cause trouble. Large seating area and quick service read more

Newly relocated to 17th/Cuming and recently opened it still feels the same. they are ready to seat you ar take your order right when you enter. Even though they are a Chinese restaurant, they have a pretty limited vegetarian section. One soup and about 4-5 items for me to choose from. I know they can sub bean curd (tofu), but there is a language barrier that I have a problem overcoming. foodwise, they are just fine for what they are and due to the new spot, they are closer and I should be coming in more often. Maybe they will get some more stars, but for now this is where I stand read more

China Taste is good Chinese food combined with some petty annoyances that keep it from being a truly great place to get Chinese food. The food is quite good and the lunch specials are generally less than $5. I particularly like their serving sizes of hot n' sour soup. The small is actually a vat, and the large is a double vat. But no Chinese restaurant is perfect. If you want to use a debit or credit card to pay for your food, they charge you 50 cents per transaction. Now I realize that most restaurants build this fee into their food prices, and China Taste does have an ATM (with it's own $2 charge, since no one banks at Jerry's Guns and Pawn). Nonetheless, it's annoying. Even more annoying is that they don't have fountain drinks, only bottles of pop or water for $1.50. So they you are with your extra salty Chinese food and only 20 ounces of liquid (No refills). It's like a bad game show. read more

Went here for lunch today with a confirmed Chinese Buffet connoisseur. I'd have to say, aside from the fried rice (just an off day, maybe?), it was really great! The Garlic Chicken & Broccoli was some of the best I've ever had. You can tell they just recently opened by the lack of decor. While it looks clean and new, it's not very inviting. But if you're just here on your 30-minute lunch break, who cares as long as the food is good, right? read more

Scary little strip mall Chinese place doing a jammin' little lunchtime business with a mix of regular folks and Creighton people. Ambience: Strip mall cateteria. Service: Less than friendly counter service. Food: Meh. Price: You can scrounge up the change in your cushions. $5.99 gets you the lunch buffet ($6.49 if you're paying with credit card). read more
