It is getting harder to find true Chinese buffets. We do not eat at buffets of any type very…read moreoften--my belt line would not like that, lol! However, this location in Morehead City, NC has been a favorite stop-by location for us for over a decade, whenever we are in town! Usually, several of my kids and I are just coming back from 2-3 days of primitive tent camping on Shackleford Banks, where we have to carry in all our own gear, water, and food, and then carry out all our own trash. As hardcore as that may sound, it is addictive in its own way--an experience one pretty much cannot get any other way. That said, by the time our feet hit the mainland, this restaurant is always the first thought in our minds, as we voraciously zoom towards it. We are usually ravenously hungry by that point, and this buffet becomes almost magical to us, as we dive into its extensive variety of hot, fresh foods (when only hours before our only options for days had been mere tuna packs, protein bars, and various jerky)! Over the years, we have never been disappointed with this buffet. While the building (both exterior and interior) is older, not that well maintained structurally, and thus nothing to rave about; yet the establishment overall is sufficiently clean, and the quality and taste of the food is always the star of the show anyway--and consistently so. Granted, full disclosure, after what we do on that island, probably even a cardboard pizza would likely be an improvement and surprisingly appreciated, lol! Still, I do not believe that our judgment is at all impaired when I state that we always look deeply forward to this place and enjoy it greatly, on our way out of town! It is often sort of a reward for toughing it out on the island with meager subsistence supplies for multiple days before. As such, I am grateful this restaurant is here, hope it stays a long time, and truly wish it well. It is always a nice finish-line for us, particularly after a grueling (yet delightful) hardcore island camping adventure!

I have brought this up with management over and over again, reminding them that it's all getting captured in their cc cameras, yet each time they refuse to take any appropriate action about it. Today was by far the worst case; they actually victim-blamed me to colleagues AS IF IT WAS MY FAULT and they also made up baseless excuses as to why I was unfairly mistreated.

The egg rolls and shrimp rolls (basically an egg roll with a shrimp at either end) are great too. We usually eat the crab rangoons as a pseudo dessert because they're quite sweet. (For savory crab rangoons try Canton Chinese Restaurant. It was the only thing we liked there.) We've also had and enjoyed the Hunan chicken, Szechuan chicken, and shrimp with mixed veggies. The fried rice is also good. The only dishes we didn't like were the soups as they seemed to lack flavor. It's also fun, if you order in person or get there before your order is ready, to watch them cook the food since you can see into the kitchen from the counter. Everything is cooked fresh unlike the Chinese buffets in town where it sits out for an hour or more before it gets to you. You can taste the difference especially with the breaded chicken dishes: smothered in sauce but still with that perfect amount of crispiness. The family who runs Taste of China is always very nice to us. The couple's son is there doing his homework in the evenings and occasionally helps with translation but we've had no trouble communicating with the owners. Their accent is thick but that is what you would expect at a family owned and operated Chinese restaurant.

Great food just moved to the beach and came here to eat today I ordered sesame chicken, dumplings, sweet sour chicken, pepper steak, and shrimp and broccoli for my family for only 45 dollars. And we had a lot of food left over so we took it home and then around my kids bedtime they felt like having a midnight snack. I went and got cookies but they didn't want them so I asked them what they wanted and they wanted the left over sweet and sour chicken so I microwaved it and it came out just as good as it was when we just bought it. This restaurant is very awesome and sells great I loved the food and i hope you will too when you try some of their food. read more

I would give this place zero stars. The food was tasteless and the bathroom was extremely dirty. I kindly asked the lady at the front who was taking orders a question about the menu and she rolled her eyes, gave an ugly annoyed face and answered me rudely in one word. She comes off extremely arrogant and dismissive. She treats her customers with disrespect and she is extremely judgemental. I suggest she change her attitude. read more

This Chinese food is so incredible that it is to hard to describe! I ordered general tso's chicken and normally at all the other Chinese food places I had eaten at before their chicken was just blobby and mushy. But here the chicken is fried to a good crisp even with the sauce on it and has a load full of rice with it. I recommend this place to anyone who is tired of American foods! read more
