Ignore the bad reviews. This place is very good, they cook the food from scratch and it is very welcoming. You want vegan, go eat in the grass with the rest of the animals read more

Came here yesterday for lunch and got take out but ate inside.. This is probably the worst chinese food I've had, with some items being somewhat good.. But I will not be returning.. Some reviewer mentioned they potentially might be using minute rice and that could be exactly It! Chinese people, I personaloy find are perfectionist at making rice, but its absurd, the Gunk they serve you and expect to eat? Yuck! Here is what I ordered: Seafood in garlic sauce - The sauce it was in was very tasty and flavorful but imitation crab meat? Sorry, just no.. The shrimp and broccoli was good in it though, but still.. I wish some people would mention, that they are using imitation anything in the food because not everyone is aware, I should of asked, just to be on the safe side! Ugh.. Chicken Wings - It was okay but I ended up putting soya sauce on the chicken wings and I never had to do that anywhere else? They were very crispy but somewhat bland? Yeah.. I won't be back here.. Yang Chow Fried Rice - My favorite rice to order from Chinese restaurants but this was literally GUNK and yellow with barely any flavor it was very oily and oily tasting and I ended up throwing the whole thing in the garbage (What a waste).. Reason for the 2 stars is because I enjoyed the taste of the garlic sauce, that came with the seafood, that was literally it and my pop was Warm! I don't recommend this place and I'll never come back. read more

We had issues with the previous Thai place here so we were hoping this would be better. Being vegans we ordered a selection of 5 vegetable dishes and got clarity that no egg was used in any of these. Our order was to be ready in10 minutes which shocked me as I was worried we were getting buffet style food. I arrived at the ten minute mark and ended up waiting another 15 which is the time I would have expected. The place had 2 others waiting and with outdoor temperature being -10c I figured they must be heating the place with the stoves and fryers as the kitchen staff were wearing coats. The order was received complete temperature after the 10 minute drive home required some microwaving to make it hot. In summary taste and appearance was average at best beats out a freezer food entre. read more

Use to be imperial. New name and management has brought with it new inferior food. Bad flavor, grizzly chicken balls, yuck! We will never return. read more

It's mostly a take away so don't expect ambiance. There are cheap lunch specials until 3 and the combination plates are around $8.50. I got a combo consisting of chicken fried rice, an egg roll, sweet and sour chicken, and lemon chicken. The food was served in take out containers. The sauces were brought in foam cups and were cold, not warm. The chicken in the rice was full of gristle and unchewable bits. The rice was very lightly seasoned and required extra soy sauce. It was more of a yellow color than most fried rice in Canada. It has the look and texture of minute rice, not regular long grain rice. I'm not sure if it was actually minute rice or if there was a flaw in the cooking process of real rice that just destroyed it. The sweet and sour chicken was tender and juicy and the breading was light and airy. It was my favorite part of the meal. The sauce, while cold, had an interesting ginger kick I'm not used to. It was a nice surprise. The lemon chicken portion was small. The meat was very thin and dry. The lemon sauce needed corn starch as it was like lemon water, not thick enough to cling to the meat. I don't think I'd go back. read more

Since I discovered Thai food, I no longer order Chinese. It's not easy to find good Thai Food unless you go to a Thai restaurant, however, this place has Chinese and Thai food on their menu. I am a big fan of Pad Thai and usually order it when trying out a new restaurant. It must be pretty good at this little hole in the wall....I've ordered it here several times since May. Chicken Pad Thai....no Tofu. That's the way I like it. They will ask you if you like it spicy or mild. Be sure to use the lime! read more

My husband and I were in this plaza for something else, and we both were pretty hungry, and we noticed China Taste, so we decided to try it. (The alternative was a pizza place in the same plaza, but the slices sitting at the pizza place were just too sad looking...) We weren't expecting much from China Taste, because although we have tried numerous fast food Chinese places, we haven't found any that was even close to mediocre so far. Anyway we kept trying new places in hopes of finding "the one". I gotta tell you - We were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered two lunch specials - Broccoli beef, and Kungpao chicken and both were excellent!!! As soon as we took the first bite, we looked at each other in amazement (in a good way). Seriously, if I had seen the two previous reviews here (one 1 star and one 2 stars), we most likely wouldn't have stopped by here. (BTW, this is my first review on Yelp- This place got me out of my hiding so other people would find this gem of a place.) We paid something like $13.50 for two lunch specials and we got sooo much food too (plus two soda's - You can have one soda or one eggroll with your lunch special.) We had tons of leftovers to take home. We are definitely going back to try more dishes there. Great eats for great prices. read more

This restaurant was formally the Imperial chinese and thai restaurant. With the new name comes a new flavour and it is not a good flavour. I liked the food that was previously served here and didn't know it changed names but I liked the food and would of ordered anyway. I ordered take-out to be delivered and the order was correct and it was delivered quickly. That is where all the good things about this place end. My order was wonton soup, mushroom fried rice and cantonese chow mein. First the wonton soup was hot but the wontons were sloppy and falling apart with little or no meat. There were no crackers for the soup and it seamed to be missing ingredients, like green onion tops. The mushroom fried rice didn't have mushrooms and was completely inedible. When I removed the lid on the dish all I could see and smell were red onions, there was almost more onion than rice. Finally the Cantonese chow mein, which is my favorite dish, was also inedible. The vegtables were fine as well as the beef and chicken. However the shrimp was extremely over cooked but at least they were cooked. The egg noodles were not so lucky, they were mostly raw. The noodles were like trying to eat dry pasta staight from the box. I will never order from here again and strongly recommend you don't either. It is one thing to have a bad dish from time to time but for an entire order to be terrible leaves me to wonder about the new management. read more
