I like this place.. they have faux chicken. I like the meatless orange chicken and I think we have had lemon chicken and general tso one before too. The service is very friendly. read more

Nice place for lunch. The dine in lunch special is what we had Mongolian beef and General Tao chicken was on the spicy side, just enough to know the heat was there. The rice was cooked odd maybe over cooked or something. Table service was great during our visit. read more

Wow!!! Went to Great Taste Chinese Food last night over by Vancouver mall. The food is always good, service is great, usually not a wait for a table, and a very fair price. Last night the food was the best I have ever had! We ordered many different dishes. All the dishes were fresh, huge portions, and so good. The restaurant was busy however our wait for our huge order was not long. I asked the waitress what was different. She stated they have a new cook that is from China with many years of experience. I asked her to please share with him our complements and how much we appreciated his efforts to create such awesome food. If you haven't been there or have been there in the past, I suggest you head over for a great dining experience! Big thanks to all involved with the Great Taste restaurant! read more

Great service. Food was good as well. Very quiet and clean. I will definitely be back.

Great service, varied menu clean and quiet. We were there for lunch so it wasn't too busy.

Ngl, It's like a 3/10 for me. The appetizer we ordered was the house plate appetizer, I think is what it was called which consisted of like one piece of bbq pork which was sliced into like 7 pcs. The meat seemed to be freezer burnt. Some fried shrimp in batter, and veggie eggrolls which were deep fried and lowkey drenched in oil. 4 pot stickers which I feel had too much dough for my preference, and 4 crab rangoons which I thought was the best thing in that plate. Presentation didn't look too appealing. This was served with a sauce they made. I believe it was a mixture of sweet and sour sauce and wasabi. Ngl, I loved the sauce. For my drink, I ordered a Coke Zero and could taste the tap water from the ice. For my main course I ordered the house lo mein which consisted of beef, chicken and shrimp. I love how tender the meats were however the noodle texture kinda felt like it had been cooked a lil too long and typically I like my noodles a little more springy. Customer service was a 10/10. Our waitress was very attentive. But also I didn't like how warm it was. So overall I think I stand by the 3/10. read more

Best food, huge portions, and the friendliest service ever! Ate here before going to the Broadway musical at Keller and will definitely go back. The Almond chicken and fried shrimp was some of the best I've ever had. read more

The food was good. Service ok, not a very clean atmosphere. Plastic covering the doors to the kitchen kinda made me wonder why.

Love the food and service here... best in town for Chinese I order takeout here on a regular basis read more

I love to visit here with my friend. The lunch menu is always very tasty and the food is always plentiful and hot.

When picking up order, told they made a substitution due to being out of ingredients. At the very least, we should have been called and asked if we wanted to change or cancel our order Food was not what I expected. Very disappointed read more

First of all let me say that this is our favorite Chinese restaurant. However tonight was very disappointing. We ordered via Door Dash for delivery for our family of 4. One of the entrees was for the adults to share and apparently it was out of stock. The problem is that we didn't get a phone call to let us know so after waiting an hour the food comes and the adults have no food. I called to complain and the only answer was that they didn't charge us. That's great BUT that left half the house hungry. Thank goodness the kids food came. All I wanted was an understanding that a simple phone call to substitute an entree would have kept the family all fed. read more

Good go to take out Chinese spot. I like the general Tao even over orange chicken and chowmein is always good but I'd order low sprout and a combo of meat if you'd like to have a good amout of protein vs filler. Crab puffs are yummy but need to be ordered well done. Overall a good meal. read more

We always enjoyed this restaurant as far as Chinese goes. Today we had the worst potstickers ever. They were thick and doughy and large very unappealing. Never had a potsticker like it. Save yourself the $13.00. Rip off. They didn't care when we complained read more

Upon walking in the restaurant it looks quaint. The woman at the counter was friendly and gave good service up until I had to call the restaurant back due to a misunderstanding with what I ordered. There was definitely a disconnect in what I wanted versus what I received. I asked for a pan fried noodle and well I received a large portion of cheap bean sprouts with a few other veggies thrown into a flavor lacking "sauce", and a side of minuscule little crunchy pieces aka noodles. The vegetable rice lacked flavor and had white or yellow onion instead of scallions. The mock chicken meat was not bad but not good enough for me to return here. Service turned bad when I called back to explain my confusion on the noodles. I explained to the woman that was not what I was expecting and she immediately went into defense mode and that she explained to me what it was ( clearly a disconnect) and could not take it back. Did not offer a remake or anything. But not surprised at the level of service when something goes wrong. I even left a tip. 2 stars because the mock chicken was alright but not good enough to return. read more

Vancouver WA. Been in this place off and on over the years. I used to work in the same plaza and stopped by a little more frequently then. Times have changed, decor has not. Food has changed as well and just slightly degraded from the last time I was here two months ago. Service is always friendly. Had the lunch General's. I think I got forgot as my mom's lunch came out and the table that came out after me. Came out a few minutes later lukewarm. read more

So I'm not sure if there are multiple of these or Chinese restaurateurs are just very unoriginal. I can never remember what levels of taste "good" or "great" I've been to and where. I got the combo with general tso, fried shrimp and bbq pork. The general tso was good. Not the best but definitely one of the top. Tasty sauce. Not too spicy or metallic. It was ridiculously hot though fresh out of the kitchen. Good cuts of chicken without inedible pieces. Solid. The fried rice was good. All of the requisite parts. Even some crispy vegetables. The shrimp batter was a little too heavy. Also unevenly cooked. One was in Incinerated. The bbq pork was super weak. Pale and meager. Not a very strong showing. I appreciate the soup with a to go order. Never had that before. The hot and sour was both hot and sour. A little thick so again, ridiculously hot coming out of the kitchen. Maybe this is the new normal but I thought the price was a little high. I'm also probably a little spoiled not paying tax but it adds up. Solid four. Some weak spots and value kept it from a five. read more

Greetings! Great Taste never disappoints! Enjoyed a yummy lunch today. Hot and Sour Soup is delicious. Mongolian Beef is just a bit...but not too spicy. Many thanks to the kind staff which always attends to our every need, keeps the water glasses filled, and is always appreciative. Sincerely, Andrew & Donna Gregg, Vancouver. read more

The portions are small. I chose a lunch entree and I've never seen such a small amount of food. It would fit on a salad plate. My friend ordered from the dinner menu and the portions were what you'd expect from a lunch menu. Been here several times before and now they've gotten stingy. No wonder they were dead at peak lunch hour. read more

We order our Christmas dinner from here every year and it is delicious. Dinner last night was no exception. We use Uber Eats and I get one of the few Beyond Meat chicken dishes- the wrong one was packed this year and it was still yummy! read more

I dropped $50 on the most ABSOLUTELY BLAND food here tonight. I asked for both dishes to be extra spicy. The Family Tofu dish was nice to look at, but NO FLAVOR. The Twice-cooked pork looked A LOT BETTER, with obvious chiles and oil added... LOTS OF MEAT AND LOTS OF VEGETABLES, BUT NO FLAVOR.... I'm more about quality than quantity,quality brings you back to a place... And I have no idea what to do with all of this leftover FLAVORLESS FOOD.... I don't go to casinos , but I feel like I JUST LOST $50'... Hopefully,, I don't get the TRIFECTA, and get sick from OVERPRICED AND FLAVORLESS FOOD. Will I be back ? UMMMMMMM NO read more

My 90 year old mother is in a local retirement home and after 14 years, has tired of the institution kitchen prepared food that she eats twice daily. I asked her what food sounded good to her for us to bring a takeout lunch? She informed me that Chinese would be a nice change. After Yelping the local area, Great taste Restaurant was the most convenient, so we stopped by at their 11:00 AM opening time and ordered 3 takeout combination meals at $55 with tax ( no beverages) for mom, my wife and I. While waiting, we both noted the clean dining area and restrooms and after a short wait, left with a cardboard box full of Styrofoam containers. The portion size of each entree was generous however, all of the food lacked any seasonings or flavor. The hot and sour soup was hot in temperature but on the bland side in taste. The fried prawns were heavily breaded, not the typical light tempura, but also lacked any flavor. The same for my wife's chow mein and my General Tso's chicken. Even adding salt and pepper would have helped. None of us tasted the sides of fried rice as we had already had enough mediocrity. It all served its purpose as Mom was pleased to have the take out lunch however, I wished I had done a better job of Yelping to find food worth the money or the trip. The meal was the definition of Meh! In all fairness, we dine weekly at an Asian restaurant where we live in Seaside that has a yelp rating of 4.5 and we now appreciate Candy's place even more after dining here! read more

We have been trying to find a nice place with good Chinese food for years and haven't been able to until tonight. The food was to die for, the ambiance was clean and decorated nicely not over done and the service was excellent. Terry and Tracy read more

I used to like this place a lot a few years back and stopped going because the quality went down. I decided to give them another shot and I regret it. I ordered the Sesame chicken, egg flower soup, and spring rolls. The sesame chicken which was basically squishy bread covered in sauce and ZERO chicken. Not a single bite had chicken. The egg flower soup was ok but nothing to come back for. The spring rolls were oily and 90% breading. So if you like over priced Panda Express and spending way too much on bread then this is the place for you. Highly recommend going anywhere else. read more

I've been searching for a good scallion pancake for quite a while and this place certainly delivers. It's crispy on the edges, tender in the middle and perfectly browned throughout. My wife and I both qualify for the silver menu (seniors) and we found options for both. She went for the cashew shrimp and I went for the Kung Pao chicken. She liked her entree and we both agree that with a cup of soup and either steamed white or brown rice for just under $10 is a great value. Neither of us could finish our meals and look forward to the leftovers later. I asked for medium hot and I felt like it could have been spicier than what I was served. I rarely eat steamed brown rice, so I'm still trying to sort out how the combination impacted the tastes. I certainly appreciate the healthier options. Service was very good, they do a great job training their staff as we came to learn that tonight was Lucas' first night as a server. He got our order right, understood the menu options well and was quick to make sure our glasses did not run dry and that we had everything we ordered and checked back on is later. The place is fairly basic with slick tablecloths that do not risk any confusion for a fancy white table cloth experience. It's clean and comfortable. I don't think you'll find a better offering at this price. Give the scallion pancake a try if you go, I think you'll like it. We'll be going back, for sure. read more

I'm always searching for Chinese restaurants that offer vegetarian chicken and this is our new go-to place. We ordered the fried spring rolls, egg drop soup and general tso's vegetarian chicken. Was it healthy? Nope. Was it sweet and sticky and exactly what we were craving? You bet! We will definitely be back. The staff is friendly, the place is spotless and the food was great. read more

The Wife and I saw this place one day, tucked at the end of one of those outdoor malls, and decided to eat there in the near future. So, a couple of days later we stopped in for a meal. The hostess came around to greet us, as in to take our order for to go. We stated we would like to dine in, she acted very surprised ("You want eat here?"). And after some discussion about the wife's service dog, we were seated. Very nice décor, very clean, quite space. We placed our order, the food was ready quickly, and it was very good and plentiful. As is my custom, if my wife never complains while we were there, I leave a 100% tip. So, I left the 100% tip. (My wife even used the ladies room). We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant! Great job. read more

The service was horrible we were never offered drinks and when we asked we never got them till the end of the meal. The server never checked in with us how the meal was or if we needed anything. I wont be returning. read more

My husband and I have loved this restaurant since our daughter told us about it. We have taken family and friends there and everyone really enjoyed their food. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the last few times I've eaten there the broccoli beef has very little beef in it. This is my favorite dish so I order it about 90% of the time so I'm aware. This isn't just their lunch special but their dinner portion also. The service there is excellent. read more

The food the service and the people are nice and clean and they have great quality of life

Food usually tastes good & the prices are fair, however my boyfriend ordered from here yesterday & the food gave us food poisoning. Now I can't go see my family for Thanksgiving simply because we decided to order from here last night. Thanks for the massive diarrhea & upset stomach. Oh and thanks again for not allowing me to see my family on Thanksgiving. I'm never ordering food from here again. read more

We decided to order out despite knowing they'd be busy the day after Thanksgiving. We didn't feel like cooking and it was a good decision. We ordered: General Tso's (S4) Sesame Chicken (S15) Steamed Triple Crispy (61) Curry Chicken (51) Chicken with Snow Peas (52) Our favorites were definitely the Sesame Chicken which was still crispy even after pick up and had a nice hint of spice and Chicken with Snow Peas had an abundance of snow peas which was good. Curry chicken wasn't as spicy as we hoped but I think that we probably just need to indicate our preferred spice level which is higher than most. We'll definitely order again and we're excited to know we have a tasty new takeout option during quarantine! read more
