    Found leeches on crab legs. The seafood here in this restaurant isn't safe don't feed it to your family. I have been coming here for more than a year only to discover the food handling here is not safe at all. When I spoke to the owner about it he gave me attitude and did not issue to the gravity of the situation. To the owner: the customer service here at this place is not great its actually really bad mainly due to your daughters are running it. Yet another employed child. You should have taken accountability of your product and my experience. You lost a loyal customer over this. Please remember there are multiple Chinese restaurants in the area, one can simply choose not to go here. To everyone attempting to eat here: if this were to happen to you, your parents or your children you'd be extensively disgusted and angry. This situation was not handled properly from the owners. In addition, God knows how many more diseases or infections the sea food here may have. I extremely recommend choosing a different restaurant due to the food handling. It may appear clean but the food is clearly not. And the owner openly admitted he orders the sea food like that.

    So when I first walked up to this place I was extremely skeptical because me husband told me that we were going to get to get seafood and the sign says "China Taste" (my husbands hates Chinese food) so to my surprise they had a Cajun seafood menu! So we sat in the restaurant and from whaat i coUld tell, it's family owned and operated (WHICH I LOVED!) we ordered a platter that had crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes with a mussels, yummmmmm! We opted for the house special sauce which was a mixture of lemon pepper seasoning, garlic butter, and Cajun seasoning. Honestly it was some of the best seafood I've had in central Florida! It was very flavorful aNd the staff was really nice and helpful. Since going here I've already made more orders to this place.

    I was a bit skeptical when they first started the seafood boil, but after my first order I'm hooked!! Reasonably priced, prepared well and absolutely delicious!! The house sauce (everything mixed) is so good I could drink it straight

    No phone miscommunication - written in plain text. Still wrong phone number and address.

    What happened to this place? New management? What ever it is, I'm incredibly disappointed with where this restaurant has gone in the past two years. We used to order once or twice a week via delivery. The delivery man is the only thing that has stayed consistent over the past two years - he is always nice. However, I suppose, last night was my last straw with this place. I will never again order from here or recommend it to anyone. Here's why: 1. Placed the order online. There was glitch in the online payment system for credit cards. So, I sent the order off as cash and immediately called them on my fiancé phone to give them my card numbers over the phone. The gentleman asked me if the card's mailing address was the same as the address they had on the order (for card verification on the machine). I replied "yes," he does something and says "ok, all set. We will have it to you in about an hour and 15 minutes." 2. An hour later, my fiancé, who was working at the time, looks at his phone and tells me, "someone called my phone 6 times five minutes ago. Is it the restaurant?" My order had my phone number as the contact number, yet they called my fiance... most likely because they were looking at caller ID instead of looking at my actual order form. My phone number, which was on the order form clearly, was not called once. 3. I called them again to see what the problem was. The guys says "we tried to deliver to 625 Courtland Rd. - that's not a real address." I tell him our address, again, and look at my e-mail confirmation, which shows my correct address. Where they got 625 Courtland, I have no idea. 4. He says, "ok, I'll have it sent back out." I ask him, "well, is my food cold now?" to which he retorts rudely, "I've had food sit here for 4 hours and it's still warm." Not wanting to argue, I say ok and thank you. Who leaves food on a counter for four hours? And what kind of magician can keep food warm in a paper bag for 4 hours? I've been to there location - they keep food to be picked up at the front counter. I should have said to remake it, but considering my history with them, I trusted my food would be OK. 5. The same, kind, delivery man shows up 30 minutes later (at this point, an hour and 45 minutes has elapsed and asks for the cash payment. We tell him we paid with a card over the phone and he asks us to call the store. At this point, my fiancé is angry and calls them himself. The same guy picks up, says, "oh your card is declined" and when asked to read the card numbers we provided, he spurts out some numbers that are no where close to the numbers I had provided him and that he himself had oked an hour and 45 minutes prior! The ridiculous part about the entire thing is that he doesn't call the delivery man to handle the card issue. He has my fiancé walk back and forth, in and out of the house between his wallet, consulting with me about if it was the same guy on the phone, and speaking with the delivery man. Such poor customer service. 6. Now the worst part - our food was cold. Not room temp - cold. I ordered pork dumplings, which are impossible to reheat (re-steam and they get mushy, microwave and they get rubbery). So, he lied about our food being warm. Shame on this place and the people they have hired recently. They lost yet another good customer, though according to recent reviews, I'm not the only one. You should have refunded us for all the complications or at the very least, remade our meals. Will never go back and am rather sad, because there food is pretty decent. I guess I'll go into Orange City for Chinese from now on.

I chose the turkey pot pie as my one entrée and it was the most delicious thing I have eaten in a hot minute. The food at this restaurant is homemade. It's not just some like chef cooking in the back. This stuff is home made. I am a chocolate fanatic. I have never tasted a better chocolate cake in my life. I've been chocolate cakes, and I'm very proud of them. Cooks puts my chocolate cakes to shame. The decor is like being in someone's home. My waitress was amazing. Eat at this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

    While, it seems that many either strongly love or strongly dislike this local, legendary, vintage…read morerestaurant, I'm going to go ahead and give it four stars! Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!

There was a market going on that we enjoyed exploring on our way over to the restaurant. It's not very big on the inside but does have tables inside and out. The inside is open allowing you views into the kitchen area. I ordered the Allicin Burger which is a beef burger with french onion reduction, crispy onion straws, swiss cheese, and garlic aioli. The meat was very juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed all the onions. It made for a solid meal. The old bay potato chips were a good pairing for the burger. My mom ordered a more traditional burger and she liked it. I noticed the bakery item display and it had a good selection. I deducted 1 star for customer service. While the food was very good, the service did not feel warm. Our server felt very cold and was short with us. She never once cracked a smile and it almost felt like we might have been bothering her by just being there. I wish we had a friendly server because it would have made the experience much more enjoyable.
