I ordered mapo tofu, a side of rice, and a plate of Chinese-style pickles: Heavy on the garlic and cilantro, crunchy, with an undertone of sesame oil. Yum. It complimented the silky tofu over rice very well.

I only regret not finding this place sooner. The food is amazing. Not a single complaint with the food. Everything was perfect. My favorite is the Stir-Fried Cabbage w. Shrimp in Hot Pot (干锅高丽菜/干锅包菜）and the Cumin Beef (孜然牛). Something I'll absolutely order again next time. The Fried Yellow Croaker in Hot Sauce (干烧黄鱼) is also great. And that's coming from a guy who doesn't like fish. My only complaint is that they were slow to make our food. I get it's busy, but how are the other tables that came after us getting their food first? They have their table full with multiple dishes but I have yet to get one dish. The interior is simple, with lots of photos of the dishes and their names on the walls, which helps with ordering. Some things to note are that you'll get a small portion of fried peanuts and kimchi while you wait, you'll also be served free unlimited tea, and that the rice doesn't come with the entrees and are extra. They also offer a 10 or 15% discount if you pay in cash.

China Taste is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Buffalo/Niagara region. Believe me when I say…read more- it is one of very few authentic Chinese food places in the area. And no, it's not like any typical Chinese takeout place, and the fact that we drive 30min each way to eat there almost every chance we get shows just how much we love it. We always order enough food for 6-8 people and then take the rest home and eat them throughout the week. They have a huge menu and we continue to try one new dish every time we go. I don't have pics of everything we've ever ordered but our favorite items are: 1. sweet and sour pork - we always always always order this no matter what, and sometimes we get another order to go. It's nothing like the ones you get from other Chinese places. The coating is super crispy, and maintains its crispiness even after microwaving. The sauce is tangy with a hint of sweetness and not all thick/gooey and sugary like other places. I don't even like sweet and sour pork as a dish but I absolutely love and crave this all the time. 2. As for soups, we usually go for the Westlake beef soup. It's seasoned ground beef with tofu in a delicious egg drop like broth. It has a lot of cilantro so if you're not a fan of cilantro you won't like this. The wonton soup is very good too but it has seaweed in it for those who might not be a fan. I think you can probably ask for it without the seaweed though. 3. Scallion pancake stuffed with pork, beef, or lamb. All the meats are a little spicy and all are delicious, but our favorite is the pork. There's this homemade kimchi inside and it just makes it extra delicious. 4. Green beans and minced pork - it's my personal favorite vegetable dish. They did make this other dish that has bean sprouts with sliced pork but they took it off their menu a couple of months ago because not enough people order it :((( 5. All the dumplings. They're all homemade and I love them because the dough is not super thick like most other places. There's a good dough to filling ratio and that's one of the key characteristics of a good dumpling. We usually ask them to be pan fried (hubby prefers them that way) which takes extra long to do and costs extra, but is worth it if you like more of a potsticker style dumpling. Also, the wontons in spicy sauce is very tasty too - that's a dish we typically order as well. 6. We usually get some kind of beef dish. The ones I remember liking are the beef with scallions and onions, the black pepper beef, and the spicy shredded beef. I was ecstatic to see that I can order from China Taste on Uber eats. It usually takes 1hr to get it delivered but we live 30min away so that's expected. All the food are usually delivered still hot, and if not - they reheat very well, so no complaints here!

We stumbled…read moreacross them because it was pretty late for dinner and our regular Chinese food place was closed. Crystal stays open until 1 am! They open at 4 pm, just an fyi. We got a bunch of stuff and everything was delicious. Literally the best beef lo mein I've had since I moved here six years ago. I've been just settling with it at other places so this was an exciting discovery! We also ordered sesame shrimp. It wasn't like other sesame dishes we've gotten. It was a pink sauce that was similar to sweet and sour, but it was very good and the shrimp were large and plump and cooked perfectly. We tried their fried dough just on a whim and it's like nothing I've had before... it's a nice little add on for $3.50. They have American Chinese and also authentic dishes, which is fun. Prices are in line with other Chinese food restaurants and portions are pretty generous. We'll definitely be back...like, hopefully very soon!

When you pull up to the restaurant, it doesn't look like much. You might even think it's closed (I…read moredid). But go inside and enjoy some delicious Chinese food and extremely reasonable prices. The service is friendly and super fast, and the portions are huge. I only had their American style Chinese food, but they also had a large menu of authentic Chinese cuisine on the weekend. The interior is simple but very clean, with lots of booths. I highly recommend Crystal Asian for great Chinese food!

I love authentic Chinese food and seek it out when traveling. So, when in the area recently I did…read moresome research and this place came up as being probably the most authentic in the Buffalo and Niagara areas, so I went for lunch. Sure enough, their menu is legit, filled with many of the recognizable delicacies you won't find at the ordinary Chinese-American joints. Entering the place is odd, they have a weather barrier (those plastic slats) hanging from the door after you open the glass door - very odd placement of them. Inside is rather small and simple, not decorated much, it's truly a carry-out place that provides table service too. Service was decent, far from fancy. I decided to try their cumin beef and an order of scallion pancakes. The cumin beef came out first and though I asked for it to be spicy, it most definitely was very mild. The flavor was a little bland overall and this is typically a dry-wok'd type of stir fry with more oil and less sauce, but mine was slightly saucy and lacking flavor completely. The scallion pancakes looked and tasted decent. Perhaps if I ordered something different I would have enjoyed the food more. I still recommend stopping in if you're seeking authentic Chinese, I'm sure they have some great dishes here.

Secondly, white rice is ordered separately: It is not included in the cost of the dish. The owner handily takes orders (table service as we were alone and I was senior to her); the chef had my order on the table in just five minutes!! Lamb with cumin: Absolutely delicious! The side of rice was just the right degree of sticky to absorb the lamb juices! I plan to stop here every time I shop for groceries at the Asian Market (it's right around the corner).
