This was the worst Chinese food I ever had. The duck was okey. However, other food was very disgusting！I ordered deep fried meat ball it can barely eat. I also had a pork liver that makes me nausea it smells like socks！we are two people spent $160 it included 18% tips in forced charge. Never visit again! read more

Food is ok, but basically there for the Peking Duck. Made a reservation for that two days before. When we arrived there we made sure they have the duck we ordered. We waited and waited for an hour... and all the other dishes were done but where was the duck? They told us they made a mistake and they had no more duck... What The Duck! read more

If I could I'd give 0 stars...I donated 30 dollars to them lol. Terrible food....worst chinese food I have ever had. Gf asked for some lemon tea and they said that's only for summer time? Egg fried rice had no flavor buying a bag from trader joes is better....we ordered sauted vegetables and they never brought that out. The spicy chicken was not spicy and should have been called spicy bones. Was nothing but some kind of peasant food all bone and cartilage barely any meat. Thanks alot yelp you tricked me on this one...when we first walked inside all the Asians were looking at us now I know why they were telling us to not eat here. Also the leftovers were thrown on the side of the road. read more

This place is one of my new favorite places for chinese food. The flavors on all the dishes we ordered were just perfect. We got the fish fillet in hot oil, beef with assorted mushrooms, beef with black fungus, assorted mushroom soup. Definitely coming back here soon! read more

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Food is OK as before, however, they raised dishes price 20%-60%. We ordered following dishes: 1. Mustard duck paw: (taste: 4/5) ($14.95) I forgot what the previous price was but for a cold dish made from duck feet this is expensive for sure. 2. Sweet Sour Tendon pork (taste: 5/5) (price from $9.95 to $15.95, 60% rising) taste good, but still the price is relative high comparing to other Chinese restaurants. 3. Chicken and walnut. (taste 2/5) ($ 18.95) We actually ordered gongbao chicken which was a traditional north Chinese family dish. Usually it costs about $8 to $12 at other restaurant. The taste of the dish is also bad, too much oil and salty as well. A chicken dish cost $19? A quarter lb of chicken costs a dollar, a few pieces of walnuts maybe costs another dollar, plus cook and other costs and restaurant profit, it shouldn't be over $12 but its price is $19! I had to say we didn't look at the menu when we ordered food because we knew what we planned to have, our mistake. It got me this time for not looking at the menu, but they maybe lost a customer in the future. 4. Stir fried dough drop. (taste: 3/5) (price from $8.95 to $10.95, 20% rising) With current inflation 20% raise is OK 5. Lamb Kidney (taste 1/5) ($3.5 PRICE DOESN'T CHANGE BUT THE KIDNEY SIZE SHRINK FROM 4 WHOLE PC KIDNEY to 2 HALF PC, TOTAL 1 PC. that means its price from $.9 a pc of kidney, ($3.5 for 4 pc) to $3.5 for 1 pc, RAISED 300%) Taste of the kidney is also bad, very bad, maybe the worst in the bay area. 200% over cooked. It's like a pc of charcoal served as food, dry and salty. I usually give 25% for tips. However, this time we two people spent $70+on the food, I only left 15% tips. I don't blame the waiters and waitress but I believe $10 is good for the service. Overall food taste 3/5 and as you can see the food is overpriced a lot. This place used to be a good place for me to refresh my hometown memories in the past. Now I think I have to go somewhere else like Beijing Duck House in Cupertino in the future. I used to think Beijing Duck House was expensive. But it has a reason for it. It is located at a better place and with better decoration and dining environment. Now this Taste Good Beijing Cuisine restaurant has nothing to update but raising their price crazy, even more expensive than Beijing Duck House. I have no reason to come back. read more

This restaurant is really cramped and the food is decent. Usually restaurant names that have 'taste' and 'good' in their names really mean 'terrible' but this place wasn't. We ordered the lunch special Lamb Clay Pot, Tomato Beef combo that came with soup. Be aware of inconsistent pricing throughout their menus--for the same item, some list it for $7.50 while another lists it for $6.50. The waiter was extremely persistent. He insisted we should order more food when we didn't want any more. He then continued to insist we would be starving--and he didn't fail to remind us even as he brought the food out--which by the way, was enough to feed 2 more people. He was accommodating about moving tables when we became squished in the corner table. The chefs always seemed to be in a hurry after they dropped the food off on our table and would race away. read more

I think they should call "Taste Bad" instead. I haven't been to this restaurant for over 2 years because the last time I came here the dish was extremely salty. Today I went there again because it is closed to my friends house. We order a fish dish and a few vegetables dishes which are ok. However the "Peking roasted lamb" totally threw me off. It was sucks. When the waiter bring up this lamb, it felt cold and looked like a plate of left over meat soaked in oil. And it was extremely salty. We barely ate any. And it was really pricy, something around $28 for this lamb dish. When we told the waiter how we felt, her reaction was this dish was common, it is supposed to be this oily. Oh come on, I will never come back again. P.S. don't try to fool me by saying this dish is normal, I am Chinese. read more

OOOh, I love this place. Great northern chinese food. Its in the middle of Milpitas in a strip mall. The resturant looks like its used to be an italian resturant. There is ivy hung from the ceiling, but with red laterns. They have about 14 tables. Its a little small and busy, you just goto get here early on a friday evening. Ordered beef pancakes, mushroom with pork, garlic stems with chicken, sauteed shrimp iwth cucumber, mushrooms, and okra with chicken. Food came out fast. Service was great. I wish I knew more chinese. The staff does not know much english. Every wait staff speaks Mandrin. Good thing the menu is picture and words. But I don't come here to practice my Chinese. The beef pancakes where hot and crisp with layers of beef and onion. The okra was firm and suprisingly in a sweet and spicy sauce. I tried the garlic stems which were like the firmness or asparagus but taste hit of garlic. The shirmp was good with the sweet cucumber. One nice thing is that everything looked great and tasted great. One odd thing, much of the protein was julienned. Next time I need to order other things. Oh they do have hot pot and lamb as well for the next time.. Decor***1/2, clean. service***** food***** overall *****for food. yea okra. read more

This is some legit Beijing food! My fiance was born and raised in Beijing and loves to frequent this restaurant because their food is so authentic! They've got those obscure Beijing dishes like Jian Bing Guo Zi, mustard duck feet, and all the lamb your heart desires! (whole head included) Our go-to dishes are the Peking style roasted lamb (erroneously labeled as roasted pork, but it says lamb in Chinese), pork with Bejing sauce and tofu skin, stir fried loofa, and meat pancake. Everything we've had here is always superbly delicious and cooked to perfection (I'm looking at you, delicious and flakey shao bing) When we come for breakfast, we like to order the Jian Bing Guo Zi, which is eggs and cilantro and crunchy fried noodles wrapped in a savory crepe and doused in a savory sauce. It's one of those few dishes my fiance truly misses from Beijing and it's pretty spot on here! Please don't come here and order Soup Dumplings because that's a Shanghainese specialty and this place is all about that taste good Beijing cuisine! read more

Good place to hit up if you're looking to eat at low-key restaurant with solid food! The name of the restaurant really says it all....taste good Beijing cuisine! The menu is more concentrated in northern Chinese cuisine. Between my friend and I, we ordered the beef pancake, chicken heart skewers, ma po tofu, and combination fried rice. I've had better ma po tofu, but this one still hit the spot! I also definitely recommend the beef pancake - it's pretty good! Portions are just right too.

Taste Good Beijing - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I really wanted to like this place. I really did. I was hoping that Taste Good would live up to it's names, both in English and in Chinese (Zhen Hao Ci). Their business card even boasts that they hail from Keelung's Miao Kou night market. Walking in, it did feel like I had been teleported back to the mother island. There were 5 tables scattered about plus a cafeteria-like counter. Behind the counter, there was a TV tuned to KTSF. Total Taiwanese hole-in-the-wall, like you'd find off a side street in Taipei. Awesome. To order, you walk up to the counter, tell the lady behind the counter what you want, then grab a seat and wait. There's a very extensive menu of Taiwanese street food, all coming in under $7 each, plus a special $2 menu. They also offer bian dang/bento boxes with 3 entrees plus rice (served on styrofoam plates though, not in a cute little bento box). After perusing my options, I opted for some street food/xiao ci - the minced pork over rice (luu rou fan), the (pork) meatball soup (gong wan tang) and the radish cake (luo bo gao), all from the $2 menu. As I settled into my chair, the daily 12:30p Zhong Tian news on KTSF came on and the owner turned up the volume, furthering my nostalgia and homesickness. The minced pork was decent - not as fatty as Ay-Chung (which is a tad too fatty for me) but not as flavorful as Queen House or Mayflower. No pickled vegetables or tea egg, but it did come with some bamboo shoots, which was different. At $2 a bowl, it's a good deal, but not really a top contender taste-wise. The meatball soup was pretty good but the broth itself lacked a little zip and doesn't quite stand up to Mayflower's. The radish cake was different than I'm used to, with an exterior that was completely fried to a golden crisp, as opposed to the speckled gold and white outside that I usually see. It was ok, but a little mushy on the inside and not as flavorful as I've had elsewhere. I had really high hopes for this place... but it left me a little wanting. I'm all for the economical aspects of the place - I had a filling lunch for $6.50 +tip - and the atmosphere but I'm not sold on the taste. It's not bad, but I don't think it quite lives up to the name (and expectations) that they've set for themselves. If I lived closer (say in Milpitas or northern San Jose), you'd probably find me here a lot. But the cheap, average tasting food isn't exactly worth the drive from Palo Alto, especially when Ay-Chung and Cafe Taiwan are in the immediate vicinity. That said, I'll probably be back at some point to try some more of their street food and bian dang. A word of warning: this place is hardcore, in that the menu is entirely in Chinese, without any English (see pics). If you're illiterate, either know ahead of time what you want or bring a friend who can read. You've been warned. read more

A friend from Beijing highly recommended this place for peking duck. It's good that we made a reservation because it was packed by 7pm. We then noticed everyone had bottles of wine or 白酒 on their tables, so I assume corkage was free. We had pre ordered the duck, so it was the first thing to come... - Peking duck (北京烤鴨): It was rolled over and carved table side; impressive presentation. It came with steamed pancakes (in steamer baskets), hoisin, and thinly sliced cantaloupe, scallion, and cucumbers. carved table side. They then use the rest of it for a super rich soup - Duck soup: intense, very flavorful, not overly gamey. There was another option of frying the duck for $5 more, but we wanted the rich broth Other dishes: - Stir fried bean thread noodles (什錦炒拉皮): veggies, egg, pork, and clear noodles, good with extra hot sauce. The texture was good, but it was a bit oily - Stir fried sliced scallion pancake (炒餅): I grew up eating this and love it; it's like chow mien but with thinly sliced scallion pancakes. The only other place I've had it around here is Darda - Pork and Napa cabbage dumplings (豬肉白菜餃子 ): very well seasoned filling and nice bite on the skin; probably one of the best dumplings I've had in a restaurant in terms of a combination of flavor and texture - Stir fried green beans (乾扁四季豆): not super spicy; good flavor - Scallion pancake (蔥油餅): clearly not what you order at a Northern Chinese place, but someone at our table really wanted it; it ended up being kind of dry - Pork belly sandwiches (肉莢膜): flavorful pork; good texture on the bun (Northern style) Service was pretty good, and it's much easier to navigate if you speak Chinese, but they speak English, and the menu has English and pictures. I would definitely come back for the duck (must pre-order!), dumplings, stir fried scallion pancake, bean thread noodles, and pork belly sandwiches (basically everything but the scallion pancake). Other things: - Bathrooms are clean (and everything is sensor / automatic!). - Parking is easy in the strip mall. - Credit cards accepted. read more

The food here sucks. We got some takeout for mother's day, and everything was incredibly disappointing.

My friend insisted that we go here since it's super authentic, and it's hard not to take his word for it since he is Chinese and makes multiple trips to China on the monthly. I'm crazy allergic to soy sauce and warned my friend that it's going to be a difficult experience for me to grub here. And it kind of was since everything on the menu had soy sauce in one form or another...but we made it worked for a few dishes that were possible to skip the soy sauce. The restaurant remarked that these dishes wouldn't come out as pretty...and I understand their concern for loss of presentation & authenticity (seriously, what's Chinese food without the staple sauce?). They accommodated it anyway, in which I greatly appreciated! We got the Deep Fried Pig Intestines, Green Beans w/Pork (something like that), and Hot & Sour Soup. I was expecting all these dishes to be rather bland since they were soy sauce-less, but wow each dish was packed with flavor and even-planed on saltiness. We didn't even need rice to accompany these dishes. --The Deep Fried Pig Intestines, although I was reluctant at first, was actually really good. Very fatty, flavorful, and a unique umph of piggy insides taste. --The Green Beans w/Pork was stellar where the green beans had a slight crisp and the pork happily complemented with garlicky sauce. --And lastly, Hot & Sour Soup! I was stoked to get to try some hot & sour soup since they're usually made with soy sauce. Definitely was lacking something, but spicy and good nonetheless! I had a good experience here, although I wouldn't come back without my friend or someone else that spoke Chinese fluently. Since they only spoke an ounce of English at most, I wouldn't be able to convey my lame food allergies. read more

I would give -5 if I could. I spend $65 on four items from them. Guess what, there are total 5 piece of cauliflower in the so called dish "dry pot cauliflower", which they price for about $20. So, if you have too money to spend and enjoy restaurants use cheap onions to replace your dishes, then order from them. read more

The food here is pretty good, probably too salty for most because Northern Chinese food is very strong in flavor and color (all the soy sauce they use). However, both my mom and I agree that the food here is as authentic of Beijing food as you can get in Milpitas. The grilled lamb was just okay though because it was not grilled on the proper grill (during the day they use electric grill), but I heard after 8 they do use the charcoal one so that may taste better. In general, the food was not too expensive and the portions are really big. The restaurant itself is not big but usually it's not too crowded. read more

I used to love this restaurant. However, I was disappointed with the recent two experiences. All the dishes were on the very salty side (to the extend that some were inedible) and all dishes with picked bok choy tended to be too sour, especially the Suan Cai Yu. read more

Complimentary (Jasmine?) tea was excellent, very floral aromatics, better than most not-free tea. Could not get a refill* even with the secret Chinese refill sign (turning your teapot lid askew) until after we had all but finished. [*Your standard brusque Chinese service often interpreted by outside cultures as rude or indifferent. I prefer the brusque Chinese service that is also quietly efficient, food and refills appearing as if by magic or bunraku stage hands.] Hometown style pork pancake was excellent. Pancake was chewy, filling was juicy and xiao long bao-like. Beef noodle soup (Sichuan niu rou mian) was good but soooo spicy! I was kind of confused, the aroma smelled like Ethiopian berbere. Not the flavor profile I was expecting. The DH pulled a John Cleese take smelling it. Not bad, and still tasty, just surprising and not the kind of taste I was craving. The noodles were the normal thin wheat machine cut ones and not terrible chewy ("Q") but still edible. I don't know what that person who said the tendons were too chewy was talking about, I found them soft enough, and I hate when my tendon is too chewy. Though TBH the connective tissue in this was not the kind of tendon I expect in this dish. This was good but my least favorite dish of the night, just because the flavor profile was not quite right (not that I don't love me some Ethiopian!), the tendon wasn't the kind I prefer, and the noodles were run-of-the-mill -- I prefer Liang's for this dish because of their thick, handmade noodles, melt-in-your-mouth tendon, and the flavor and spice. Mutton "noodles" soup came with wide, flat noodles that were quite thick. These were chewier but also not as al dente as I like. The reason for it being called "noodles soup" is that it also came with fun see (cellophane noodles, which are made from mung bean and are healthier and imho tastier than the rice noodles you get in, say, Vietnamese food), also on the border of al dente. The broth had a delicious "lamb-iness" to it that you should be aware of if you're sensitive to gaminess (I have a slight sensitivity but it wasn't too lamb-y for me; DH loves lamb). There was cilantro but it wasn't heavy or overpowering (I have an aversion to cilantro but have been working on my tolerance -- I usually just try to swallow it so I don't taste it, but the cilantro in this I could chew up quite thoroughly without a problem). It also had wood ear mushrooms, but these were crunchier and less soft and velvety than I like. I wish you could get these wide noodles in the beef soup instead of the boring noodles it came with. Tiny nitpick: the soups came with these cute spoons that were just too flat to hold much liquid, and they were too small and would slip into the drink if you weren't vigilant. The weirdest part of the night is when I went to pay and she took my credit card and WALKED RIGHT OUT of the restaurant (turns out there's an extension to their restaurant next door I guess the credit card processing machine lives in, but why there's no connection to the two parts inside or in the back, I have no clue). Wash your hands after you handle receipts; at most places they're full of BPA (Prop 65; causes cancer) and this is no exception. Service is fine if you come at off-peak hours; you have to cut them a little slack if you come when they're in the weeds. We got there during a lull, and by the time we were almost done they had picked up a bunch of new tables. Finally, the free tea was so good I'd consider trying one of their pots of $5 tea. Being American-born and raised, Taiwanese-blooded, raised by Shanghainese and Hong Kong-ian parents, I am not well-versed in Northern Chinese food, so take my reviews of the food here with a grain of salt. Most of the menu was a sea of unrecognizable red-sauced dishes, but the few things I recognized were pretty good. I think the menu is worth deeper exploration. I didn't get the XLB because a lot of non-Shanghainese Chinese (and even some Japanese) restaurants nowadays just throw that on the menu because it's become popular in the States and Americans don't know the difference, but it's like seeing chicken fried steak on the menu at a steakhouse. (Or sushi at a Chinese restaurant, which is more prevalent than you'd think). But I might even give that a shot since the filling of the pork pancake was so good. I do want to come back and try the lamb that's prepared Peking duck style. That seemed to be a pretty popular dish. read more

I pre ordered the duck when I made reservation which is highly recommended. They cut the duck in front of you, they either asked you to take the bones home or boil into soup. We chose soup. Most of the dishes are very good except the skews, they were very dried and spicy.

My girlfriend and I came here Friday night, when we were not too hungry, so we just tried some various "small eats". We ordered: - 1 jianbing - 1 roujiamo - 1 doufuhua (tofu pudding) - 1 serving of garlic chive and egg dumplings The menu reminded me of menus in China: thick, big, heavy, with lots of pictures - a nice touch! Service was, I thought, actually better than the stereotypical Chinese restaurant; the waiters and waitresses were prompt and mostly courteous on a busy Friday night, and the food arrived quickly. However, the jianbing was a bit cold by the time it arrived. Jianbing needs to be eaten hot - while the pancake itself was still steaming and the fried wonton skins inside were still crispy - and this did not deliver. We were rather disappointed. Roujiamo was a bit on the greasy side (as it tends to be), though the flavors and texture of the mo itself were very good. Doufuhua was too bland for my tastes - maybe it is authentic? It tasted very strongly of the earthy bean paste that I associate with northern Chinese cooking, though it didn't really have any other tastes. Texture of the tofu itself was spot on - silky smooth. My girlfriend loved the dish - she found it very comforting. Chive and egg dumplings: ordered them thinking they were vegetarian, turns out they weren't - they had dried shrimp in it, which I should have known, given that this is a common combination. The garlic chives tasted much more strongly than the store-bought kind and reminded me more of the garlic chive dumplings back home in China, which is unfortunate, given that I don't actually like how strong the garlic chive dumplings tasted in China, and actually prefer the less pungent version found here in the US (OK, I'm weird!). Overall, though, I thought that the flavor combination was good, the skin had a good chew to it, and I know that my dislike of the pungency of the garlic chives is down to my personal tastes. Overall, I thought the food was good, though not stellar, and the service was pretty decent as well. However, all the prices were a bit on the high side, so I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you want good bang for the buck. read more

I don't expect good service from Chinese restaurants, but this one is just RUDE. I came here with a few friends. We waited ~15mins in order to get seated. Everything seems alright except they got one order wrong, which we informed them and they took back. Nothing out of the ordinary. When we finished we were chatting over tea. Suddenly the waitress came over and interrupted us. She *pushed* my friend and put down the table clothes, which happened to be folded over. She said rudely in Chinese, like "don't get the table clothes dirty, we don't wash it everyday." Unbelievable! Customers can't get the table clothes dirty?! You HAD interrupt our conversation for this? And not even an "excuse me"? Clearly we won't be coming back. I hope they learn to treat customers with some respect. read more

Wish I can give this restaurant 0 star! Be cautious if you want to come, they might ruin your day. Taste: 2 stars Let's start with the food quality. We ordered a Yang Xie Zi hotpot. It tasted super salty and I suspected that the lamp must be made a few days ago. We lived in Beijing for a few years and we knew how it should taste. Environment: 2 stars It's crowded, noisy and dim inside. The table looked dirty. You can't eat comfortably in this environment. Service: 0 star Here's the most irritating part. The service is HORRIBLE and the waiters are so rude. I am very surprised how this restaurant can still have guests. I have been to many Chinese restaurants in bay area and this restaurant is definitely the worst. I will never come back. The waiters (one of them are the owner) are impolite and arrogant. They never came to you. Your water will never be refilled. If you want something, they won't come. Instead, they will let you say loudly what you need. Their faces always looked impatient. read more

I'm so proud to be the 3rd reviewer for this place. I went shopping at the Great Mall with the intention of ordering takeout from the plethora of restaurants int he Ranch 99 complex.
