We love ordering from here. We typically order online which is always quick and easy. Delivery is fast and luckily they always know where they are going. We live in a condo so sometimes it's confusing. If you go in it is small so we always just bring the food home. Everything has always been good. read more

Updating my previous review. I used to really like this place, I'm not sure what happened if they sold or what but the quality is absolutely terrible now. I attached pictures of my general tso chicken. Terrible quality meat, doesn't even look like chicken. I took one bite and tossed it. Very disappointed. read more

A friend and I grabbed takeout from China Taste and it hit the spot! Definitely a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but in the best way. They were quick with our pickup order and the portions were huge. Great comfort Chinese food and the prices are super reasonable. Will definitely be coming back! read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I eat here once a week, and I love this place. Great food, cheap, great service! Everything I have ordered has been good.

This location is located on Gandy near S West shore Blvd. Its located right next to Marcos pizza. The place is very small its more of a takeout restaurant. The chicken was pretty good and had a great flavor and so was the chow mein. I would definitely return in the future. read more

China Taste - Lunch portion General Tso chicken with shrimp Chow mein. - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Good tasty food with nice msg. Take out place not really for eat in. Generous portions.

Grabbed takeout from China Taste off Gandy with a friend--classic Chinese comfort food. We got two combo plates, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. Everything was hot, tasty, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood Chinese spot. Prices were fair, portions were solid, and the food was ready pretty quick. Nothing fancy, but definitely does the job. I'll be back when the craving hits. read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

While visiting Tampa we placed a carry out order for Kung Pao Chicken, Beef with Garlic Sauce, Veggie Lo Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Drop Soup and Pork Egg Rolls. Everything was very nicely prepared, portions were generous, and we especially appreciated the KP Chicken was spicy but not overwhelming. The Veggie Lo Mein also stood out. We definitely plan to return while we continue our stay in the area. read more

The best fast-food Chinese ever! Not only is the food delicious, but it's also a healthier option compared to other takeout spots. Even my boneless spare ribs had no fat on them, which I absolutely loved! The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and everything is well-seasoned without being overly greasy. They have a customer for life--I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Surprisingly, it was the best Chinese food I've had in the Tampa area. General Tso's chicken was good, although the pieces were small and overcooked. Wasn't over-sauced and was tasty. Egg rolls were squishy in the middle and flavorless. Lo Mein was great, and the boneless spare ribs were dry and overcooked. read more

Lo meins always on point! Ughh nothing beats fresh crunchy spring rolls and a soup packed with vegetables. The family who operates this location is so nice :) Enjoy, xo read more

This is my top choice for Chinese food in south tampa. The egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken are sooo crunchy and crisply fried. They are consistently good and the portions are a good size for what you pay for. read more

The food was really good. I got a shrimp egg roll and had 2 shrimps in it. and I got beef lo mein. The beef was good beef and the sauce was tasty. I ordered online. The only think I didn't like was it seems you can't check out without leaving a tip. Maybe I did something wrong but I gave them a $1 tip. I don't think you should have to tip if you order online and you pick it up yourself. There is no ambiance. It was very cluttered. So it's just a pick up and take home. The gentleman at the register was very nice and helpful. I will be going back:) read more

I read relatively good reviews of this place before placing my usual 'go to' Chinese order: Broccoli Beef with steam rice, Spring Rolls, Steamed Pork Dumplings, Plain Lo Mein, and Egg Drop soup. I know, it's not a crazy appetizing order, but it's the comfort meal. I placed my online order and received the receipt via email with a pick up time of 18:55. I arrived 19:00ish and waiting behind two people. There's chairs placed around the walls and no tables, so please don't plan to dine in here. After a short 3 minutes, the woman behind the counter asked for my name, took my money, gave me my food, and I was on my way. Very quick efficient system they had though I cannot say for the other 6-8 people sitting in the chairs waiting. Once home, I started with the Egg Drop soup, good. Tasted as it always does from any Chinese restaurant. Spring rolls, good. Just good, maybe a tad over done, but good. Steamed Pork dumplings; okay. Just okay. A tad cold but I can't say anything due to my timeliness. Plain Lo Mein; first bite I was confused. After the second bite, I knew exactly what it tasted like. Burnt leftover pan. Never washed , just maybe rinsed enough to get the chucks of the last meal prepared in it. Beef Broccoli, terrible. Just as bad at the Lo Mein. And maybe the same pan, but I'm assuming not because it had a tad bit different pan flavor. I overall was extremely disappointed by my first and only interaction with the establishment. I would just prefer my Chinese to not taste like the other 7 meals prepared in the same exact pan. read more

China taste is my go to Chinese takeout restaurant in Tampa, most likely for the fact that it's less than 5 minutes from my house and they have cheap lunch specials. I always get the chicken and broccoli and it's pretty standard. It's definitely not NY style Chinese takeout but, hey we don't live in the North East anymore! Lunch specials are $6.25 and come with pork fried rice and wonton soup or an egg roll or a soda. If you want to switch out the soup for a different soup, it's extra (but they won't tell you that)... same goes for switching out lomein for fried rice. I also enjoy their wonton soup. Overall, not the best Chinese I've ever had but convenient, quick and affordable. read more

Great little local Chinese restaurant with consistently good New York style food. Being close to my work, I swing by a few times a month as they have nicely priced lunch specials and are always friendly to deal with. During the COVID period, they quickly adjusted their setup to continue to provide dining options at a reduced risk. If you are in the area, definitely check out this place but note it is more of a carry out type place even though they do have a few tables inside. read more

Solid Chinese take out. Have ordered from here a few times. Consistently good, ready quickly.

Tried this place for a quick take out dinner. Got the two vegetarian dishes: general tso's bean curd and Szechuan bean curd(tofu). Large portions, very tasty, got medium spicy, wasn't spicy at all for us, so would likely get hot or extra hot next time. Still very good, fast service, family owned, will be our new go to place for Chinese take out! read more

Horrible made me sick , gave me raw uncooked chicken When I ordered the almond chicken read more

The positives: food tasted fresh and looked clean. It didn't taste pre-cooked or glommed on with MSG and sticky sauces you can't identify. The negatives: the four dishes we ordered were very bland and had almost zero taste; the pork fried dumplings had freezer burn and the rice was really dry. We'll try it again bc it place is near by and at least the food looked freshly cooked. read more

Great take out, friendly service, food is inexpensive and great value, I recommend the orange chicken

I'm not happy. Decided to try this place out. Ordered it via Uber eats to my hotel and after waiting an hour I got my order. Had ordered shrimp chow with the the crispy noodles NO rice but what I ended up sending me was the rice and crispy noodles. No chow mein whatsoever. So I'm sitting here picking out the shrimp and eating it with the rice feeling dissatisfied because I trained at the airport for 10 hours and just wanted to come back to my room and have a good meal but noooo they couldn't get my order right. I don't know what they gave me. Wanted to leave Florida tomorrow in hopes of saying I had good Chinese food but it's a no for me read more

Good, classic Chinese takeout! Have had their general tso chicken and sesame chicken. Both were great. Only reason for 4 stars is that the chicken is not consistent.. Some pieces are great, others are gross and tough. read more

Well, they made it through the Covid time line. Now facing ever increasing price hikes on their food costs, their prices haven't gone up as much as you would expect. Being a small Mom & Pop restaurant they seem to work very hard for their customers. My favorites are Beef & Broccoli, Beef Lomain and have tried and found interesting Mei Fun, which is kinda like Angel Hair Pasta. That has been an enjoyable change of pace for me. Never heard of Crab Rangoon until I found their restaurant. Now I'm an addict. Lol. Deliver is available within 5 miles and a lot less expensive than Uber or Door Dash. Haven't had a bad meal there yet, like apparently some say they have. But U can't please everyone. read more

Dreadful Chinese food. Soggy dumplings with questionable ingredients. Stupidly, ordered chicken terriyaki (yes I know it's Japanese and not Chinese) which was also poor. The chicken and nicely appearing vegetables had a funky taste. Really, how hard is it to use teriyaki sauce with chicken. Not again... PS tried to submit without a star, but couldn't. Tampa is challenged for good Chinese food, says this New Yorker. read more

China Taste - At least the fortune cookie was good! - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food was really good, better than most.....not quite 5 star but they beat out the Chinese food places around the area and will definitely order again! read more

Great Chinese! Super fast and always delish! Never mess up a meal and we get take out there frequently! Friendly staff too!

Phenomenal service and food. Appears to be a family run business. We'll be back time and time again

Delicious Chinese food and fresh. It's located near the airport and it's in a nice area!

Always good service always good food It's the closest food to New York Chinese. Is she only Chinese restaurant I will frequent they are family oriented and I like that service read more

They charge you $2.50 for delivery, gave the driver a $1 tip and ended up with a nasty message from the delivery person biutching that they only got a dollar. Went there with the receipt containing the nasty comments and the woman at the counter stated the manager was not there, looked at the erceipt, and LAUGHED. There are other places to get chinese from in this neighborhood, these folks are assholes. read more

Not sure if they were having an off day or what but today's experience was not a good one. I placed the order online and paid with card but when the delivery person came it said it was supposed to be paid cash. Called and asked them just to charge me for the food so the driver could be on their way and even taking my information over the phone took about 10 minutes. Go to open the bag and we got 2 different drinks from what was ordered, General Tso's combo had no broccoli, and Egg Foo Young combo didn't come with any sauce. The food does taste good, which saves this from a lower rating as this was all around frustrating. read more

My favorite Chinese food takeout! I'm obsessed with their General Tso's tofu(bean curd) call ahead for pickup and the food is almost always ready within 15 minutes! read more

China Taste - General Tso's bean curd with extra broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Not the type of Chinese restaurant I expect. Something as simple as egg drop soup tasted more like boiled water, no flavor. Also, lady at order window was extremely rude. Try someone else. read more

Every once in a while you just don't want to cook, you don't want pizza, and you just crave some noodles. When honey and I feel this way (usually on a Friday night or rainy Saturday) we will order from this restaurant. There are quite a few options for Chinese food in our area but we always go for China Taste. In my experience it taste the best. Also my favorite thing is the Singapore noodles and they just so happen to make them the way I like them! There are no frills about this place. If you decide to eat in or pick up your food you will find only 2 tables in the restaurant and a counter to order from. Sometimes a really cute little boy will be taking your order, I think he might be the son of the owner. He is very well spoken and just the cutest thing. In regards to the delivery we have not experienced any messed up orders and the portions are a decent amount. Pricing is what one would expect for Chinese food. Delivery is approximately the average 45 mins wait time for this area, sometimes even sooner. If you are ordering Chinese go with China Taste- you will not regret it- and I suspect it will become your favorite new Chinese take out place. read more

Worst ever! Who puts mushrooms in chicken and snow peas? These people do. No taste, just bland. I threw it out. To top it off, they didn't get my wife's order right. Stay Away!!!! read more

Deliver man was very rude with giving me my change until I gave him a decent tip ... smile before you bang on someone's door ...

Great food. Quick service and very friendly staff. They get your order correct most every time.

Excellent food, great customer service. Had a mishap with an order and the owner added in extra items for me. The wait time is usually 15-20 minutes. read more

It's quick typical take out chinese. It's good and I order from here all the time, but it's not my favorite in South Tampa. When I moved from S. Howard, I had to give up Wok and Roll on Kennedy that I think is much better. I live in the Gandy area now and I do think they are the best in this area. Their house fried rice is fantastic! The pork egg rolls are also very very good. I really like the honey chicken and Mongolian beef. My favorite chinese takeout is generally cashew chicken, but I never order it from China Taste because the teriyaki glaze has a weird after taste. In summary, they have some items that are fantastic so if you find one you like, stick to it, and you'll have a good fast chinese food experience. read more
