Not the best chinese joint in town, but a-okay in my book. This place has been in this strip mall for quite a long time, and for the most part, their food is good. The only thing I avoid on their menu is the fried rice. Not that it tastes bad, but it has this yellow-ish, doesn't look like "traditional" fried rice consistency. I too dislike the extra fifty-cent upcharge if you use a credit/debit card, but it isn't a deal breaker. My favorite entree: beef with pepper & tomato. read more

Well wow sad to say after twenty-something plus years haven't been there since the set right where Chi emergent care is on Cummings right behind McDonald's went there last month they had to have change ownership or Cooks because today sets it all to a disappoint great disappointment when in their told him the story instead of him complying and accommodating he argued and then i had to pay more money to get it right I should have known horrible horrible horrible he didn't give a damn cuz he knows people are going to keep coming and he's going to keep arguing with those that say something about his cooking it's sad it's really sad the chicken drumsticks was as big as your hand I don't know if it was real chicken or 3rd grade chicken all i know i had to be the lowest grade chicken you could find that was shot with hormones I don't know but I couldn't eat it I was scared and it was so hard you would break your real teeth forget about false teeth and that's what I was complaining about the first time he gave me the chicken back again the same way like I'll be John Henry why would he try to give me the same stuff why would I be dumb enough to go back against the question but you give people the benefit of the doubt that they'll make it right the second time after you confront them because you don't want to shoot down nobody's business well take it for what it's worth today shoot it down or not I know he is rude and whoever he had a month ago he better get him back cuz he is not the one to cook, it wasn't even seasone, just dropped in greaae chicken that's got a lot of gristle and fat on it every where hard and EXTRA big, defiantly not the size any chicken I've seen!!! read more

I agree with Oscar, the Beef is the must have item on the buffet. The General Chicken & the rice noodle went well together as well. Overall, great value for money. read more

I've only done take out here. It's pretty close to my job, so I tried it out. I had veggie fried rice on my most recent trip. Nothing fancy about this place. It's pretty simple inside. Not a date place, by any means. But, the service was fast and the guy at the counter (youngish looking guy) was really nice to me and even joked around with me a bit. If you're looking for a quick, decent Chinese food place and you're near the Creighton campus, this works pretty well. read more

I am a huge fan of family business, and since I was here on business travel, I asked the staff at the Fairfield about a good Chinese Take-Out (they recommended China Taste (about .5 miles away)). I was not disappointed - the Kung Pao Chicken was made just as I requested (without peanuts, extra spicy). The right balance between vegetables, chicken, and sauce. Delish - ample quantity, super hot, ready to enjoy. read more

Yummy food and inexpensive. Not great in terms of cleanliness and atmosphere. Ice on the soda machine did not work but they had another ice bin you could use. Service was very fast read more

Amazing tasting food. Best Chinese food in Omaha Hands down. We will come back everytime. read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

See all

China taste lunch buffet is the best for the price. For under $7 you get a plethora of food and definitely get your money's worth. Bring cash and you save an extra 50 cents. Food is always hot. Not sure about carry out during the lunch buffet but have noticed many people doing it when I've gone. Might have to give that a shot when I don't have enough time to sit and eat. read more

Typical Chinese Buffet. Lots of food, average quality, below average presentation. It is filling, which is a good thing.

Went for lunch. Mediocre with a very basic buffet. Needed to replenish dishes more often.

The sesame chicken seemed like it was soggy, the egg roll tasted weird, the crab Rangoon was legit, and the person checking us out was not really friendly. It's near my place so I guess that's the redeeming factor. I'll be going here for my crab Rangoon fix in the future but that's about it. read more

This place is better then most I have tried in this town. The chicken cashew is dead on. Which is rare to find in this city I was pleasantly surprised. The lo mein could use some work it was like eh... in the flavor department. The dumplings are homemade and actually have flavor not just boring or the store bought pot stickers. When i crave chicken cashew I know where I'm getting take out from now on when I'm in town. I never tried there buffet but I'm sure it's good if they can do chicken cashew right I'm sure at least all there stir fry dishes are bomb. read more

Ordered the broccoli beef combination and a hot and sour soup and it was delicious! Generous portions! I ordered takeout and it was ready in 10 minutes. I will be definitely be back! read more

Found this nice gem in downtown. The kung pao chicken is delicious, and some of the best I've had in Omaha. A very fresh and clean family owned restaurant. Prices are very reasonable. The family who own it are very friendly. The pots tickets are made fresh and are really outstanding. I will definitely be back! read more

We were staying at a hotel downtown and the front desk clerk recommended China Taste. We are so glad we took her advice...AMAZING!! My husband had the Beef & Scallops in Garlic Sauce and said it was the best Chinese food he'd ever had. We both had Crab Rangoon.. read more

Unassuming little joint, but impeccably clean. Well portioned takeout, excellent food, and an excellent buffet for $8.50. I was visiting Omaha for 4 days, I ate here 5 times. read more

Ordered delivery. I got Kung pao chicken from lunch menu. There take on this recipe is completely different from what I know to be Kung pao chicken. The chicken was battered and deep fried instead of stir fried without breading. I should of asked about how they make this dish before ordering. read more

Just had lunch here today. Was very satisfied with the buffet that now costs $7.50. My friend and I were impressed with the value for the price. I especially liked the General Tso's Chicken, and we both enjoyed our egg roll. There were many people either eating in or taking out as we placed our order. You serve yourself, so leaving a tip didn't seem required. Well lit, and clean dining area. Not a fancy place, but straight forward and efficient. read more

I usually get take out from here, and it's always been great....today I decided to try their buffet...I love buffets, but I've always hated Chinese buffets since they usually blow ass...Happily, CT has what I consider a damn good one...for only $7.50, not including drink, you get a surprisingly tasty assortment of treats...while I prefer sweet and sour pork, I did enjoy their sweet and sour chicken...I also thought their egg drop soup was good...While i probably will stick with take out, I like the idea of being able to come here for a good and cheap buffet...once again CT knocks it out of the park... read more

Great lunch buffet, not a huge selection but the basics are there. $6.99 if you pay cash.

Sooooo about a couple of weeks ago my boyfriend and I decided to order China Taste. He goes in to pay and pick up the food as I sit and wait in the car I can see the back door to the kitchen is wide open. For 1 they had a huge bowl of what it looked like was rice (which I'm sure they were serving that cause I seen them scoop rice out each time) just sitting right next to the wide open door. Clearly bugs can get in there. Second I watched them bring out a dead rat from a room and placed it on the counter. So I don't know if they planned on using that to cook or what but I'm wondering why they have dead rats just sitting on counters. I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice it was pretty good. But I don't be ordering anything that may be cooked with rats. read more

This is the best Chinese lunch buffet this side of the Mississippi. The fried chicken wings could sustain a business of their own. They even have gravy available if thats you're into. Me? Turns out I'm into Korean chicken and I know that now thanks to China Taste. At this price point you will not find better buffet items. read more

Looks like they just moved in. Good food not the best in Omaha but the best in downtown. And the collage kid is really cute :)

With it being right across the street from Creighton, it's an awesome alternative compared to what they serve on campus! You get a good amount of food (I usually get Kung Pao chicken or Brocolli Beef), maybe a bit too much for lunch honestly, but it makes for great left overs. Prices are very reasonable and they actually added a lunch buffet a few months back. read more

It's alright, not great, not terrible. 3 stars for the affordability of the lunch buffet, but there are other options in the area

Yesterday (12/4/18) we decided to have the lunch buffet at China Taste. As I went to put white rice on my plate I noticed a long strand of black hair in the rice and on the serving spoon. I brought this to management attention hoping they would change out the rice and clean the serving spoon. I listened as the elderly Asian woman yell something in chinese to the others in the back. She then proceeded to head back toward the kitchen area. I saw another consumer getting ready to get some white rice, I rushed over to tell him about the hair and he replied "yes I saw that and decided against it" we both chuckled at his comment. I went and sat at the table to wait and that's when I observed the same elderly lady with a silver pot. She put more white rice on top of the contaminated rice and serving spoon. She did not even bother to change the spoon. I asked to speak to someone else to no avail and saw them continue to take money from people and allow them to eat contaminated food. Needless to say I loss my appetite and I refuse to eat there again!! read more

The food was ok, not much selection for dessert. Not impressed with the cashier's attitude.

Not a wide variety of dishes, emphasis on fried/breaded items with over abundance of sauce. White rice smelled like moth ball. Table is clean. Service is as expected; price is very reasonable for buffet. read more

I had their Singapore chow mei fun and it was good at first but made me drink more than 2 bottles of water and still feel thirsty. It must've been laced with salt or even MSG. It was also a little heavy on grease. The location was good for take out, very quiet and have a lot of seats. The cashiers greeting us seems very "happy" to be there. They also seems to be 16 and under (the poor girl has a shirt with a high school logo on and the boy looks even younger than her). read more

Very fast service but the Lo Mein was not even close to fresh and was very dry, they give you a very small amount of sweet and sour sauce with your Sweet and Sour Chicken and the fried rice was like mush. read more

Unfriendly service & bad food. The fried rice was terrible, chicken was chewy & egg rolls had a terrible taste. Wouldn't recommend

Went with a co worker for lunch today, place was busy and we were amazingly surprised. We both opted for buffet food was great, price was equally great! Only downfall was size of containers on the buffet, they didn't hold a lot so dishes ran out quick even after being replenished. read more

I've only had their takeout, and I have tried quite a few of them. Good food , decent prices. The staff is friendly, sometime there may be a language barrier, the (owners?) do not speak English very well, but their children are fluent. read more

I've only had take out from here. Their food is delicious! I always get the chicken lo mein and general tsos chicken. Their chop suet is nothing special but they always provide enough fortune cookies to their customers! read more

Very bland tasting and did not have the sauce for the hot wings I asked for and always got in the past. Will not eat there ever again and probably the worst Chinese I've had in Omaha. read more

I ordered chicken fried rice and I might as well ordered fried rice. There was maybe two tablespoons of chicken in it!

Love the food here! Very fresh and great flavors! Very clean and nice staff, seems to be family run place

Visiting from out of town I found China Taste on the hotel's delivery list and I'm impressed. On the phone they said 20 minutes it arrived in 10, fresh and steaming. The crab rangoons were crispy on the outside and sweet and creamy on the inside, the vegetable lo mein was excellent - light not greasy at all, and the beef and broccoli was everything you can expect in this classic. Portion sizes were not overwhelming, everything was fairly priced and the delivery person was nice and respectful. If I was a local I'd get take out from here all the time! read more

Well I read all the other reviews some right on some not so much. If you like cheap buffets then yes it will fill you up. Went there yesterday for the buffet, selection was ok could be better. No beef to be found, Vegetable lo mien not a fan, So for the buffet I wont be going back any time soon, As for the take out or regular menu the food is very good I love the Beef lo mien, and the beef broccoli. I go there for take out 2 time s a week. I did compare China taste with China buffet on Broadway in Council bluff, The food there is really good and twice the selection with Mongolian bar. Also at China taste they do not clear your plates of bring your drinks they are self serve. read more

This is the second time I visited this restaurant and this will be the last. We ordered to go, the person taking the order was very short with me. Apparently I should have a menu in front of me or have it memorized. First I was told there was no Sweet and Sour Shrimp combo, however when I got there it is clearly listed on the menu. We were told 10-15 minutes for the order. We walked in 15 minutes later and still had to wait for our food. I have had Sweet and Sour Shrimp numerous times but never like this. It was large round battered pieces of shrimp fried and tossed into a tin. Then I was given a tub of red gooey syrup and a box of white rice, that was it. Where are the peppers, onions and pineapple? Is this a meal or an appetizer you might ask? The last time I was there I ordered the sesame chicken and it was dry and chewy. Clearly it had been dropped into the fryer 2 or 3 times and over cooked. Did I mention the table 10 feet from the checkout are covered in someone's half eaten food that was all over the table? Clearly it was from an employee or employee's child since this was during the dinner hour and the buffet is not open, gross. Sorry, I won't go back. read more
