Situated in a small plaza between a T-Mobile and a local alteration shop just a block off of Murfreesboro Road, Asian Taste is your quintessential local Chinese spot showcasing all the classics from the faded and dated food pictures on the wall to the large paper menus along with all the classic dishes we love! I am always on the hunt for a solid pick-up Chinese spot and usually wait until I am closer to home to scoop up the food, but decided to give Asian Taste a try recently and get it right after work. Online ordering process was simple, not a huge fan of the 7% processing fee, but the prices were fair so I pushed through. Quoted time of 25 minutes was spot on. When I walked in the door, they were walking from behind the curtain with my order. As noted in previous reviews, I always judge a Chinese spot by their wonton soup...and Asian Taste came through with some of the best wonton soup I have had in the area! In addition to the tasty soup, we got sesame chicken with fried rice and an egg roll, and house lo mein. The egg roll was more of a spring roll, but it was fried to perfection and packed with the goods, so again, I let it slide. All the food was hot and delicious, and plentiful. Pricing was not bad, including the fees, tax and a tip, we spent around $32, which is not bad at all! If you are interested in dining in, there are several booths and tables. The dining room was well kept and clean. Overall, really enjoyed Asian Taste. Definitely will be added to the rotation for those weeknight Chinese dinners! read more

Slightly below average Asian food. Though fairly inexpensive compared to similar strip mall restaurants, there's certainly nothing else here to make you want to return. One bizarre note: we discovered that their lo mein menu items use thick udon noodles rather than actual lo mein noodles. Why? read more

Definitely a hidden gem!! We came here based off a few reviews. I'm SO glad we did!!! The food portions were honestly enough for 2. And let me tell you that was some of the BEST I have had in a longgg time! The service was wonderful, and the staff were so sweet! read more

Wife and I are new in town been looking for a good Chinese place, and thank God we finally found the best one in Franklin. Amazing food and surprisingly great prices! The service was exceptional, seems to be family run and what a beautiful family. Love the vibe on the inside, too very traditional but clean read more

My wife was sick and was Jonesing for hot and sour soup. They were fast and the soup was a hit. We've eaten here before and this rates at the top of our list for Chinese food in Franklin. The staff is friendly. As with many of the places in this area, most of the orders are for take away. read more

Food On point. From the crispness of the egg rolls, had shrimp and pork, to the perfectly cooked rice, nice fry on the General Tso's chicken. Really appreciated the contrast in textures and how everything was hot when I got home and done well. Service I ordered takeout and it was ready in about 20mins. Greeted by a smile when I walked in and it just felt like the food was going to be exactly what I was looking for. Ambiance Quite small inside so I wouldn't recommend for a big group. read more

Very delicious Chinese food, I highly recommend for anyone that loves Chinese food. Service took 30 minutes because it was holiday.

The food was great and the service was excellent! The egg rolls are real! We love getting take out but sometimes eating there has a nice atmosphere and fast service. read more

Asian Taste great general's tso chicken! The service was attentive, and the staff was friendly and great service, highly recommend it! read more

If you like meat that doeant taste or chew like meat and the chicken and beef taste the same like fake gelatin infused meat than this is a great place for you. For everyone else that likes actual real chicken and beef and shrimp then run the other way! My wife and I have found that Bamboo House in Cool Springs is excellent and way more worth the $4 more per meal to get actual quality food. I wouldn't even eat the leftovers because its that gross! The only positives are the fried rice is okay and the chicken in it actually tastes like real chicken, but very bland and not seasoned at apl. If you only want spring rolls they were good...however, on the menu they are the same price as egg rolls but if you switch them out on your dinner meal they will charge you more. Can't say enough about this place and how bad the food is. Side note....lo mein noodles are so thick and fat that its its the only reason you may get full....and they lack flavor too. read more

Cruising through Franklin & decided to have Chinese here in this small shopping center. Staff was so nice & helpful. Food was delicious. Great atmosphere for the family run business that it is. We definitely would recommend. read more

Great place to get authentic Chinese. I have been coming here for years because the food is consistently good. You might want to take some time to steady the menu because they offer an extensive menu. I like some spice, so I get General Chicken, with white rice and broccoli. Everything is very fresh. Also, get some egg-rolls, I get one pork and one shrimp. The egg-roll wraps are very light, fresh, and crispy and taste amazing. They are very friendly and fast! read more

Really good ! We regularly grab takeout here.. very fresh and good portions.. We love the shrimp with garlic sauce and shrimp pad Thai. Sometime pad Thai can be too sweet depending on where you go but they know what they are doing here . read more

If you like Chinese food, I recommend this place. Very delicious，chicken broccoli and crab Rangoon my favorite. It's always good.

We came here Christmas Day for a pick up order. I have never seen this place so crowded! We waited in line for 40 mins but you could tell the staff was trying their best to accommodate the large volume of orders. We got an order of sweet and sour chicken, general tso chicken, lo mein, fried rice and egg rolls. All the food was great! read more

On my one prior visit, I chatted with the woman at the counter about lack of bean sprouts in Chinese food in the area. She said I can request it. I ordered bean sprout fried rice for lunch recently and it was perfect. The picture doesn't do it justice. I'll order the large next time. read more

Asian Taste - Bean sprouts fried rice. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This place used to be very good around a year ago. We just had it again last night and it was absolutely aweful! We ordered a chicken dish beef dish, and a shrimp dish. As I just read from many others with the same type of review about their meat, the bedf and chicken does not have the right consistency to be only that.... Its like beef gelatin or chicken gelatin! Its soft and mushy and barely have to chew it! Gross! The shrimp was similar. Their lo mein noodles were so wide/fat that 4 could fill you up. Will never eat here again which is sad because it used to not be like this. Stay away! 0 stars if I could. read more

Steam Boys in Franklin offers a smaller menu, but each dish is executed perfectly. It's a menu for anyone who's indecisive like we are! Also there is something for everybody. The prices are fair, and the owner's dedication shines through. He is a really cool dude named Tao. This place is a must-visit spot for authentic Chinese cuisine in Franklin! read more

Asian Taste - Tao the owner! He's a really down to earth guy. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and Coconut Chicken. The KP was loaded with vegetables and not tasty. I was looking for a thicker sauce. The rice was fantastic. The coconut dish was tasteless. I was not impressed and won't be back. read more

Very surprised given the reviews on how generic lackluster the food is here. If you're used to New York Chinese food, you will not like this place. I would compare it to Taco Bell if you like Mexican. Very disappointed very average quality very generic. This place is nothing special and the reviews do not accurately reflect the food here. I ordered a shrimp dish and I got one shrimp in the whole thing I mean it's really kind of ridiculous. The food portions are very small too. read more

We've been on the road for a family trip and we are dropping into places after many hours driving. We scout restaurants with Yelp and sometimes the most important criterion is "open now." That's how we landed Asian Taste. It was the one thing my wife, son and I could agree on after a long Sunday driving from Milwaukee towards Tallahassee. This is clearly the kind of place that serves a lot more takeout than table service. That's a shame. The food was quite good. The dishes were attractive and the prices were more than reasonable. Apparently the hours listed for Sunday night were incorrect and we cut things a little too close but we were served graciously and never disturbed to rush out after a busy day and night. I'm really glad we stopped in and I'd gladly visit again during more regular hours. read more

This was our first time finding Chinese take-out since moving. It was easy to place an order online and the pick up time was very reasonable. We ordered honey chicken (which was breaded, so not the way we're used to having it), chicken lo mien (the noodles were good, but very thick) and Kung Pao chicken with medium level spice (it had not been cooked in peanut oil, so my husband actually added a little peanut butter to the dish as a substitute). Overall not bad in a pinch (for both cost and ease of ordering), but we'll continue our search for a go-to place. read more

Love their food. They have become our go-to Chinese Carry Out. Their steamed pork dumplings make me smile!

Great food, always! They are efficient and pleasant. Get it hot and fast! It was also an easy location to get in/out. A+

Pretty good food. Friendly service. Easy takeout though not really a dine in type place.

Great food, for quick take out. veg egg rolls are really good. Try the Basil fried rice, with shrimp and jalapeños, it's spicy but really flavorful. read more

Asian taste is excellent!!!! Food is great and a family owned restaurant. Management goes above and beyond! I highly encourage this Asian experience. read more

Um, not very good, pass. Just bad and not worth the price. I can make better Asian food at home. Honestly, seems to be no effort by the cook. read more

3.5 I've sampled dishes from Asian Taste several times before as a guest at a family dinner where takeout-carry home was the modus operandi. Today was the first time I actually ate in the restaurant and I definitely recommend this as the way to appreciate what Asian Taste has to offer. We've been searching for a Chinese restaurant that has at least some of the characteristics of ones we've found in our travels. Right now, Asian Taste hits closest to home. (although not a home run...it's definitely an extra bases hit.) One of the benchmarks we look for are the quality of the soups and Asian Taste has one that scores fairly well. The Hot and Sour soup is thick, tangy and spicy hot (and served piping hot - so be careful). There are plenty of thinly sliced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and pieces of tofu with a bit or two of pork mixed in. Flavor is hearty. WonTon Soup with its dark-clear broth and meat-filled dumplings came in second but pales in comparison flavor-wise. My wife and daughter love the Lemon Chicken, a Chef's Speciality, while I prefer something a bit spicier. Today I chose Szechuan Chicken, loaded with thin slices of sauce-coated meat and plenty of lightly stir fried vegetables. I only wish I had asked for spicier. This dish was a bit bland in that regard. If you decide to visit, be advised that this restaurant has an "order at the register" near the back of the store, then choose a table. Your food will be delivered as it is prepared. I actually sat with a friend for nearly 5 minutes with no acknowledgment from the wait staff (place was empty). Finally another pair of diners entered, sat down and looked at menus, then got up to order. (Signs guiding first-timers to the order-station-cash register would be a big help.) Also the place filled to near capacity as we ate...so be aware this place is popular. And the menu is huge...plan accordingly. read more

Just a basic Chinese restaurant in a shopping plaza. The food was surprisingly good. Didn't think it would be as good as it was. Giving 3 stars because food was just okay not anything to wow about. I also think prices was a bit high for what it was (Just my opinion). read more

Good food but check bag to make sure everything is there BEFORE you leave!!!!!! Missing items are commonly left out. Tried to call but man never could understand the issue each time. read more

My go-to place for Chinese food! Everything I've had here has been great. I always place my order online and it says it'll take about 15 minutes, and it's usually about spot on. They're quick, food is cooked to order, and is still piping hot by the time I get home. read more

This is my go-to Asian restaurant in the east side of Franklin and Brentwood. It's quite a bit better than PF Chang's in the Americanized Chinese genre. I get the Singapore noodles, fried rice, beef & broccoli. Everything is fresh and hot and the owner has been the same for years. read more

Did they change ownership? This place used to be 5-star, best in Franklin for Chinese. But I went last nite for takeout for the first time in a few months, and the food has completely changed. The flavors in the Szechuan Beef aren't as bold, not as spicy. The Shrimp and Mushrooms is just that: shrimp and mushrooms. Nothing else. It used to have other vegetables and richer sauce. This place is still good but not great. And nothing compares to how good it used to be for the last 6-7 years that I've been eating here. Super disappointing. Going to have to find a new spot for Chinese takeout. read more

After reminiscing about a Chinese restaurant from college that we would always get food from, we decided to call Asian Taste. It was surprisingly hard to communicate with the owner/front desk person. I asked if they delivered, he said yes. Then minutes later he said it'll be ready for pick up in 20 mins. Huh? Verdict? They don't deliver. The food was ok at best and exactly what you expect from middle of the road Chinese food. It's tasty and the value is in quantity, not quality. The issue here is the customer service. When I came to pick this up, the bill was significantly higher than was mentioned. Rather than simply correcting the mistake, the owner proceeded to explain to me that I had ordered incorrectly on the menu and got the larger portion. Their menu was unclear and names of items were repeated but with different prices. As a first time customer, I wasn't aware of this. Needless to say, I would not return to this place. Save your money and go to Panda Express. read more

Decent enough for a quick lunch stop, but it doesn't stand out. The hot and sour soup was tasty, but I found the chicken teriyaki on the sweet side, and a little oily. read more

I ordered Uber eats and I ordered general Tso. Chicken was congealed together. I paid more for Lo mein and didn't get my food. I didn't get my egg roll. Chicken is inedible. Absolutely vial. Wonton tastes like rubber. My friend got pad Thai and it's fine. read more

Real solid Chinese American takeout. Moved here from NYC where I had at least Chinese American takeouts close by to order from within a few blocks. Each had their best dishes. I tried a place in Brentwood and a place in Franklin both were terrible. You would have been better off getting the frozen stuff from Trader Joe's. I lost hope until I stumbled upon Asian Taste. Chicken with mixed vegetables was great. Good sauce, white meat chicken and vegetables still had some crunch. Fried rice was great had a good wok fire. Spare ribs were tasty. Service was friendly and food was prepared fast. They even called me when it was ready. read more

Don't let the cover of the book fool you. This place is actually one of the best Chinese places that I have tried between Franklin and Spring Hill. Their dumplings are oh so delicious. I have had Thai and Chinese dishes here. They are all good with a lot of good portion. I am doing a 3 star because this is the 2nd time that I have ordered way early on "BeyondMenu" during lunch to not have my order ready on pickup time. Today I ordered an hour early and came right on time (11:50am). I had to wait for the people in line which is understandable, but after taking 10 minutes for me to finally get to the counter, they didn't have my order ready and was still "working on it". I asked them what is the use for me to order an hour early. He said that if they made it too early it would be cold...which was a bunch of crap because this was at least 15 minutes after it was supposed to be done when I got it in my hands. They just pushed my order aside to work on the heavy lunch traffic instead. read more

The food is always fresh and so yummy! It always hits the spot. The spring rolls are my favorite here. The customer service is also amazing. Very sweet people. read more
