Their version of General Tso's. It doesn't taste bad but it's not General Tso's. The donuts are great and the egg rolls are just ok. They also didn't give us utensils, which is pretty important if you're staying at a hotel read more

Food was not good I throw all of it away, fried rice coloring and smell was gross. service was awful.

This 'Chinese' food is made for 'white oriole'. If you have no taste due to having covid, then this is the place for you - the food was incredibly bland and had to add my own sauces at home once it arrived. The chicken lo mien was tasteless, no sauce or flavor, incredibly bland, beef and broccoli was tough and had to chew, as for the egg drop wonton soup, I NEVER have had to add anything to the soup before, but again it was incredibly bland and tasted of straight water. If you're looking for a moderately priced option and nothing else, this is your place, if you want flavor, definitely recommend going elsewhere. read more

This is my go-to Chinese take-out spot. It's consistent, fresh, and not overly greasy. It is Chinese takeout. No MSG additives, no overcooked mystery meat -- just clean, flavorful food that doesn't leave you questioning your life choices after. I ordered several items for Christmas Eve and everything was clearly made fresh to order. I asked for NO pork in the house fried rice and without hesitation--the owner(?) handled it with confidence, which honestly says everything. The fried rice was loaded with shrimp and chicken, plus bean sprouts, peas, carrots, and onions. The Shrimp in the rice and the mixed vegetables were tender. Veggies had a slight crunch, and each ingredient actually tasted like itself. Without everything being drown in overly sugary sauces. Even the white rice stood out -- jasmine/basmati vibes, sticky, fresh, naturally hint of sweet. Reliable, accommodating, and flavorful. Ps. Kids don't bother me, I'm not a Grinch read more

See all

Great food! This is about the closest I've come to the Chinese food back in New York, and we frequently go to this location. Service is always quick and reliable, ambiance is standard for the type of restaurant but cozy nonetheless! read more

The food was great and they had lots of options (all great) and when you order takeout they give a very nice quality takeout bag that is insulated so the food stays hot until you eat it. Very good service the food is ready within ordering 10 minutes. Very big portions and it has the typical Asian restaurant feel but better. Overall, amazing experience will be going back soon. read more

I really wanted to love this place. But I was disappointed. We got eggrolls (very greasy), beef teriayki (no flavor), spare ribs (were very good), kung pao chicken (was awful)... It is a nice family restaurant and they were pleasant, but the food was just not good. And the place needs a deep clean. read more

The food here is fantastic, they also have late hours where if you're leaving the beach and other places are closed they are open. They serve food fresh and fast!!! Definitely a place to visit. Now respectfully the place isn't much to look at but the food is fantastic!! read more

Quality has slipped to a new low. Food is bland, tasteless and not remotely authentic. Beef with Broccoli was bland and beef was fatty and very chewy. Pad Thai was way too spicy and cook used flour noodles vice rice noodles. Took that back. Having to put up with the 2 kids by the front door (a permanent fixture it seems) adds a chaotic atmosphere to the place even when just picking up an order. Place is disheveled and in disarray which is discussed in the most recent State health code inspection report. Sorry folks this is one place you should avoid. read more

the best Chinese food by far. love that they put food in a bag that actually keeps it hot. we have the green and black not sure how many different colors they have but we are saving them. we are definitely keeping them as our top place to order from. keep up the great hard work much appreciated. peace and love God bless read more

OMG worst service ever! Owner is incredibly rude and disrespectful of customers! He may have a rush at lunchtime because the food is cheap yet fair(looked like everything is frozen and popped in deep fryer)at best but no reason to be nasty! His poor partner. Can only imagine how he treats her. Definitely will NOT return! read more

I love the food .It's always fresh and delicious.I love their Sichuan dumplings and spring rolls.OMG..so amazing!!!

Nice, very fresh ingredients well prepared. The opposite of the usual glop. Our go to place

Visiting the area and did not love their food. It just didnt have the typical taste im used to. Not much taste and sweetness was the main flavor to all the dishes. I do not recommend read more

We've been searching for good NY style Chinese takeout food since we arrived to SRQ a few years ago - this place is about 2 miles from downtown, somehow I missed it until today - mission accomplished - it's clean, fast & friendly - and if you want your food to arrive fresh, hot & not a mess- pick it up yourself instead of using delivery service ;) It's ready in about 10 min -- plenty of free parking too - prices are very reasonable read more

has slipped in the food area. yesterday evening problems: hot and sour soup was bland and tasteless, tough to do. egg foo young sent out with no gravy, spicy tofu was tough as cardboard due to it being cut into small strips which I had never seen before, and was not spicy. perhaps there is a new cook? would wait on ordering for a while and see if they improve read more

The food was fantastic. I ordered crab Rangoon's, I ordered It was fantastic. The service was exceptional. They were very friendly. The eggrolls were delicious. The owner Billy and his wife were extremely friendly. Definitely will go back for more. read more

Great food I really love the bourbon chicken I would 100% recommend and definitely come back again.

Best take out in Sarasota. They must use fresh ingredients because the food at China Taste comes out of the box tasting great. I think they make each order one at a time. There is nothing ever ordered from them that seemed like it was laying around and just heated up. Super nice family business that appreciates their customers. Give them a try if you haven't already. read more

For Florida Chinese takeout food, this really does deserve 5 stars, especially in this area. I've tried maybe 6 or 7 different Chinese restaurants in this area over the years, and I always come back to this place bc it has the tastiest and best quality food. My go-to dishes are egg rolls, spring rolls, crab Rangoon, and pot stickers for apps, wonton/egg drop soup, and sesame chicken, general Tsos chicken, and house special fried rice. All are extremely good, and really depends on what you're in the mood for. I've never had a bash dish here, and it really is that NY style/American style Chinese food you crave sometimes. This is the spot, trust me! read more

Pros: delivery is very fast. Cons: the food itself isn't that good. The curry chicken is plain and the house special sauce is too salty. The lo mein is pretty good but it was very greasy and salty. It's good for Chinese food delivery but just be prepared to eat mall quality Chinese food. read more

Good food, nice people - can't complain. Our goto Chinese food locally. Convinient to siesta key.

ONE OF THE WORST RESTAURANTS I'VE EVER ATE AT. I came to this restaurant because of all of the positive reviews on Yelp. Those reviews must have been from the owners/workers. I ordered an American type Chinese meal. Crab Ragoon - this was the only food that earned the one star. The cream inside was good. Couldn't eat much of the rest. It was hard, crusty, and cold. Beef Fried Rice - the worst. Rice was old and had clumbs of rice sticking together. It didn't appear to be sticky rice. It was hard and old. The beef (dog food) was tough and hard to chew. The onions were diced too large. The peas were not fresh and probably previously frozen as some of them were flat and others were ice cold. They did not have egg or bean sprout in this fried rice. Owners and cooks, you can find this recipe everywhere online. Chinese Biscuits were cold and greasy. Chicken wings-I did not eat any of them because the inside meat was discolored (a sign that they were rotten and spoiled). I didn't want to get sick. In a previous post, the writer stated that nickled and dime you trying to get as much as they possibly could. I was going to get a lunch combo, which consisted of pork fried rice, chicken wings eggroll, and a coke for $12.99. I asked if I could change the pork fried rice to beef fried rice as I don't eat pig. She stated I could, but it would cost more. I asked how much, and she looked stund that I asked that question and finally said it would cost $2.99 more. They are extremely over-priced. My order cost $24.99, and she asked me if I wanted to add a tip. You guys can quess what my answer was. DO not waste your time or money on this horrible over-priced food. Ive live in Washington DC, Baltimore, New York, Seattle, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, I know what good food taste like and Ive could have gotten the same meal in Baltimore for half the price. read more

I've yet to find a truly good Chinese restaurant in Sarasota, having enjoyed great meals in New York and San Francisco. This is basically a takeout place and it comes closest to delivering Chinese food, as I know it, worth getting out. Far from great but a cut above other similar basically "to go" places in the area that dish out what I'd best call Manhattan (New York) Upper West Side "Chinese" meals. The portions are very large and the service is friendly and patient. read more

Small Chinese restaurant in a plaza that offers some great dining options. Delivery is available in a limited area. Lunch specials are a bargain and they are always busy. Ever want to try a small portion of this and another small portion of that? Here you can, for most dishes are offered in small portions that are perfect for two. Yes, they have the standard combinations, but if you are so inclined, try ordering the small portion of the house fried rice. You will not be disappointed with the generous portions of shrimp, beef and chicken. The pan fried dumplings comes with 6 and are delicious. The appetizer BBQ ribs order offers 4 huge ribs that will definitely have you licking your fingers. The restaurant is primarily a take out location, but there are four tables in case you want to dine in. There is no table service. You order and wait. Here's the one negative: If you plan on dining there, bring your own utensils or use the chop sticks. The fork and spoon they offer is small and made for children, not adults. Had to use the spoon for the rice, yep that bad. read more

5 VISIBLE HUGE FEATHERS and barely any coating on the chicken wings. This has NEVER happened before... I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD SERVE THIS. IT MUST BE A HEALTH CODE VIOLATION. IF THEY DIDN'T PULL THE FEATHERS FROM THE WINGS WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY CLEANED IT EITHER? DISGUSTING. PROOF IS IN THE PICTURES. Used to be good, who knows now what their health and safety practices are. Called for a refund because of this, which I've had several times before and was fine, but this is straight up vomit worthy. Already calling the health department after an argument over the phone for a refund from the manager who said she was named Lin, would not refund over the phone. read more

Terrible food. We ordered through a delivery service and ordered chow mein with crispy noodles, Mongolian beef, fried rice and crab Rangoon. Mongolian beef was too sweet, crab Rangoon was oddly sweet as well. Chow mein was just a quart of cabbage, onions, bean sprouts and chicken in slop. We didn't get the noodles and called the restaurant to tell them the noodles were missing. They told us that's what chow mein is--and the crispy noodles are the fried wonton strips-is we wanted a noodles dish, we should have ordered the lo mein. We're asian--we know that this sauce they call chow mein is BS. The only decent thing was the fried rice. Worst chinese food we've ever had. read more

Three's a Charm? This was my third time I've order delivery from this place. The first two times I was thrilled as the food arrived as scheduled, hot and delicious This third was so disappointing I can't begin to explain it other than maybe new ownership or chefs? First after trying for an hour to order online I gave up because the website was a complete nightmare and wasn't working properly. Making a phone order was so much quicker that's because the order taker who was rude as hell couldn't get me off the phone fast enough! After an hour and a half wait my food arrived and this delivery guy was another rude person even though he was well tipped! The food was gawd awful! I won't go through that again! read more

So freaking good ‍ Especially the crab rangoon! Fried chicken perfect and rice was good and fresh not hard.

The girl at the front desk offered me a supposed deal for an extra spring roll. When it came time to pay she said it was $15.00 I usually pay $12. And that was for 2 spring rolls instead. When I told her she hadn't given me the two spring rolls just an egg roll she wanted another $5 bucks this was on top of the $13.91 she just charged me. So we'd gone from around $12.00 to $18.91 Nice try for an extra spring roll. I walked out. I've been coming to this place for years but she's a crook. read more

REAL Chinese food (just like in NYC ). The young lady at the counter is the hardest working person in Sarasota. She does the job of 3 people!! read more

Best Absolute Best Chinese in town. Consistent quality and arrives piping hot since they have their own delivery. I have been ordering from this location of China Taste for years and have never had a bad experience. The bad reviews may be attributed to so many businesses/locations of the same name. They are closed on Mondays and we have made the mistake of trying other places but the taste is not even close to compare. Fresh ingredients not laden with salty sauces. Great Food, Great Price, Great customer service. A Friend! read more

Vegetables and chicken cooked to perfection very tasty excellent sweet and sour also giver sauce too good no complaints also fast service with a smile read more

We ordered delivery so maybe that was the problem. The food was tasteless and we threw most of it away.

Poor service Don't know how to communicate with the customer On top of it the food wasn't fresh read more

I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the fried chicken and shrimp fried rice. It was amazing and tasted like the food my family use to make at home. The place felt nostalgic so it was a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend the food. read more

Just bad. Undercooked overcooked just not good. Called in order but had to wait 30 minutes. Most people without mask in any business I have seen. read more

The best Chinese food in Sarasota! The General Tso's Chicken is fabulous. The Szechuan dumplings were so good, I ordered two on my second order. I am very happy to have found this place! read more

China Taste is a hidden gem! My mom and I have come here twice, and both times their food was very delicious. Their prices are very reasonable and I recommend you visit if you like good Chinese food! I'm going to list a few of their menu items: Chicken Lo Mein, chicken Teriyaki, Kung Pao Chicken, Orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, etc! read more

This place is surprisingly good! I ordered delivery at 9:40pm when they close at ten (I know a**hole move in my part) and they still delivered!! I ordered shrimp with mixed vegetables and garlic sauce and the shrimp were large and plentiful! Good vegetables and nice rice, Chinese Donuts were DELICIOUS. Definitely would recommend as a top notch Chinese delivery read more
