Taste of China

Yum! I’m a picky Chinese food eater and absolutely LOVE their food! Great ingredients, fresh vegetables, nice cuts of meat ~ love! Fast & yummy ~ it’s a great go to any night!!! And friendly which makes anything better :-)

Only my second time here, but I love this place. The food is flavorful. I get the General Tso with white meat. Generous portion and well worth the money. Last time I had the fried rice. This time the steamed rice. The wonton soup is delicious too.

Great for takeout or delivery. The food is delicious and made fresh. Very friendly staff and delivery is always fast.
I’m a vegetarian I usually order the sesame tofu and vegetable dumplings. Both great! The scallion pancakes are greasy but in the best way. So good with the dipping sauce.
Love the cheap prices, quick friendly service, and delicious food! I’m definitely a fan! If you’re thinking of ordering, go for it!

I really like this place. I’m glad it’s still in the increasingly gentrified area. The food is great. Whether you’re doing take-​away or calling for delivery the service is friendly and quick. I don’t find that true of every Chinese place in the area. Almost anything is good, but I really love the shrimp with eggplant in garlic sauce and all the soups. Prices are great for the quality and amount of food you get.

I was pleasantly surprised by this fast food Chinese place. On my way to work from the Second Annual Kings County Fiber Festival and needing some real sustenance, I popped in this to place to order some shrimp mei fun. It was surprisingly good, with a generous portion of noodle and many small shrimp, not the miniature ones you often find in this dish. The cabbage, shredded pepper and chives were all crunchy and fresh. They cooked it with curry and some chili per my request and contrary to what I expected, was not so greasy. I would try this place again if in the nabe, and probably do takeout and carry the food to the lovely park by the Old Stone House. The restaurant does have three large tables and feels quite spacious due to the huge glass windows on both sides of the corner. It is also clean but lacking in any ambience. Hey, it’s cheap Chinese takeout with the bonus of sweet, friendly, accommodating service so if you want the Per Se vibe, go dine there!

Taste of China is a GREAT place to order chinese food!
With that said, walking into the restaurant, it looks a bit neglected and old, but for takeout/​delivery only image doesn’t matter so much.
I often order the lunch specials from them and have had the boneless spareribs, sesame chicken, general tsao’s chicken, pork fried rice, fried chicken wings, egg drop soup, and egg rolls. All taste spot on for what you could expect from this type of restaurant! Delivery is often swift and i am very happy overall with my meals from here! I would say on average i order 2x per week from here. I hope this review helps you all and you enjoy it as much as i have!

Super convenient and cheap but its not my favorite Chinese spot. The food is pretty hit or miss.
If you’re in a hurry and need a quick bite, you could do worse.
I prefer Food Lin and DiDi. They’re only a few blocks away and the food is much better.

My new found favorite dumpling and cheap chinese food joint.
There’s only a few of these spots on 4^th Ave from 9^th Street to 17^th street. I am constantly in search of better than the next scary looking spot. This is the third one I have hit in the past two years. Not really that adventurous. But this one so far has had the best dumplings, fried rice and General Tso’s chicken.
Taste of China… you’re a tasty one. I’ll be back soon.

This is my go to stop for «I’m-drunk-and-hungry-and need food now!» type of moments.
So many times, my boyfriend would wake up and see empty chinese food containers on the kitchen table and he’ll know I made a pit stop to Taste of China along my way home from the train station.
I’m just a stickler for the beef and broccoli– they make the beef so moist and slightly chewy and the broccoli nice and crunchy. Best thing is they can cook that dish in less than 5 minutes on the spot — not microwaved or anything like that.
Keep feeding me that beef and broccoli and I will be a happy drunk.

Yup, I’m a fan.
They fry their food up fresh, sometimes over fried, but more often than not it’s good. They have a whole lot of woks and actually stir fry the rice when you order it. It’s relatively inexpensive, generally tasty and they do have large portions. ($ 7.75 for a General Tso’s combo that can last at least a meal and a half)
Is it authentic Chinese food? No, of course not, it’s a corner Chinese delivery/​takeout place, it’s not trying to be an authentic Chinese restaurant. This is the food that will satisfy your craving for fried and/​or saucy food. The thought is making my mouth water. I know it’s bad, but it’s sooo good!
They do have a large variety of choices on their menu, so you can order just about anything you can think of. And yeah, you don’t eat there, even waiting for takeout can feel a bit sketchy and potentially icky. If you’re going to pick up food just call ahead so it’s ready when you get there. Delivery is pretty good too, might have a $ 10 minimum.
They’re open late, it’s cash only and they have free sodas if you buy a certain amount — like any great cheap Chinese delivery should =)
Side note: I prefer this place to the one on 5^th Ave b/​w 8^th & 9^th St, which is also trying to be Tex-Mex…but I don’t recommend the dumplings, they’re made with a ton of dough, I have to peel off half the dough to get to the tasty filling.

ugg. same old fried grease food.
this food can be found anywhere in brooklyn. Nothing special.
Service was ok. but I had to repeat myself to the person at the counter because she was tough to understand. (nothing new on that either)
Definitely felt dirty inside too, not a place to eat.

5 Stars from me!
I can only assume the other reviewers missed out on the revelation that is the fried tofu here. The outside is crispy and crunchy; the inside pillowy moist tofu. Two out of two diners agreed; it is the best fried tofu either of us had ever had.
We got the General Tso’s Tofu; and the sauce was very tasty, but lacked the masterfulness of Fun Chow in Bed-​Stuy; the shining beacon by which all Chinese fast food joints are judged in my mind. But it cannot be denied, I’ve never eaten tofu like THAT before.
Probably the best General Tso’s anything I’ve ever had — and I can’t wait to have it again.

This was the first Chinese Restaurant I checked out since moving to Park Slope after living 29 years in Chinatown (Manhattan). I had little expections as I kind of simply assumed their «Szechuan Hunan & Cantonese» was nothing more than Americanized fare made by Fujianese people. I was right.
Ladybugs and germs, get ready for a treat because I’m gonna teach you cats what Chinese food should NOT be. Fried Rice should be stored in one of those large rice cookers to keep warm — not exposed to the air. This explains why your rice seems icky. (e-​fried moist rice is better than re-​fried dry). Egg rolls (and the fried rice) should have plenty of roast pork chunks. Their egg rolls have nothin but cabbage.
If you MUST come here simply for convenience sake, try the egg foo young with Brown or White rice (avoid fried rice like the H1V1 virus). Chicken with Brocolli is safe. Soup is safe, but expect high amounts of corn starch in your egg drop.
It gets an extra star for portions and price. For 50cents to a dollar more for slightly better quality Chinese food, go up one Avenue to 5^th Ave.

Fast, fresh, flavorfull, greasy, absurdly cheap Chinese food? Yes.
The sign gleams like a beacon at the end of an exhausting day. Delivery is nearly instantaneous and I always open the door to a grinning deliverer. Portions are huge. There isn’t much more I could ask for from a steaming dish of cheap Chinese.
They also have a fried half chicken and fries for $ 3.80 — if you’re in the mood.
