We had to bring dinner for a big group, so we looked into different options around the area and found this. My wife called the order in, and the gentleman on the phone was very friendly. We got to the restaurant shortly after, and almost everything was ready. There, my wife was on a call for some time, so I was starting to bring the food to the car. The gentleman who had taken our order saw me and followed me with the big box, which I thought was really nice! We had to order some more food, which was ready pretty quickly as well. When we started eating it a little later, everything tasted good, about what I'd expect for Chinese takeout. Overall, pretty good experience! read more

I love this place. They are fast friendly and accurate. Food is always delicious and hits the spot.

The sauce was very watery, to me good chinese food depends on a few things in my opinion but the very most important thing is the sauces and the thickness of the sauce. This place I've had twice where it was watery super thin. Also the general tso sauce here was terrible not sure if it was the wrong sauce or if it was not made correctly but wasn't good. I spent over 50 $ for 4 people and I barely ate it. read more

China Taste - S7. General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Amazing for takeout they make it in reasonable time and it tastes amazing! Just not a place that's great for dining in saddle

Ordered thru their website for pickup as this place was a couple blocks down the road from my hotel. Food was ready on time, order made correctly, and served super hot and fresh. Veggies were crisp. Entrees included the added tofu and made spicy as requested. The $3 upcharge for lo mein or fried rice are worth it since you get the same portion for a small size. Would order again. read more

Food is good but people who take orders are rude and they have a $58 minimum order for 7 mile delivery which is ridiculous!!!

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I hadn't ordered in several years. WOW! It used to be AMAZING, NOW YUCK! Chicken Lo Mein was tasteless, and thought it was kitty cat...I'll never be back. read more

Everyone is so nice here, i love the food & service. The food is always hot & made correctly.

Best Chinese food in the area, hands down! Fast, courteous service. Food is consistently tasty and well prepared. Lunch specials are priced awesomely and fill the average eater easily! If only they had a/c for their sit down customers! read more

We enjoyed our late night Chinese delivery from them last night. Everything was piping hot when it arrived and we live about 15 min from the restaurant. We ordered vegetable lo mein and it was very good. My husband ordered the sweet and sour chicken platter which he really liked, the chicken tasted good and was in nice small pieces instead of larger tougher ones. Our egg rolls were yummy too, we shared crab Rangoon's and they were hands down the best I've ever had! So so good. read more

China Taste - a bowl of noodles with a fork in it - Chinese Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Our family took a chance on takeout here and were pretty pleased since they are w in walking distance to our house. We had Gen Tsos chicken combo, lemon chicken and veg lo mein. All were about what you expect from local chinese american takeout, maybe less greasy than most. Lo mein was so so, Gen Tsos was pretty good, but nothing special. The lemon chicken was really the winner here and Id def get it again. A serving good for two w rice, its panko crumb fried, and comes w a lemon honey sauce for dipping. I like that it came separately, bc too much would've ruined it. Overall a good experience and we will prob be back bc of its proximity and food was pretty good. Service was fine and quick. read more

This place would have gotten 4 stars from me a year ago but they have gone so far down hill. Tonight I got the spicy beef combo. Not only was there literally no spice...I literally had 5 tiny strips of beef. The rest was the largest cuts of veggies I have ever seen. Also 3 different bites of rice ended with crunching raw, uncooked rice. Wish they hadn't made whatever changes they did. So sad read more

China Taste - rice and vegetables in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

i've been buying from here frequently ever since they got new owners, and they luckily kept all of the recipes.. and they're just so delicious every single time!! i'll always recommend their egg drop won ton soup, pork egg rolls, beef chow fun, and any lo mein. read more

If you're in the mood for cheap, greasy chinese american food, you can count on China Taste. Some dishes they do better than their main competition (Wok 'n roll), others worse. It boils down to preference and convenience. A deal breaker with China Taste though is their poor service. Delivery's fine, but if you eat in the restaurant you'll be met with service that ranges from quietly hostile to, at best, apathetic. If your job is customer service, then it might be a good idea to say more than how much the meal costs when you're interacting with patrons. However, picking up your food will largely bypass the saltiness of the employees. read more

Was told 10 mins for order waited 40 mins. was also forced to check out when I got there after I said something about the wait than had to wait even more. They claimed they were busy but they weren't. They were literally throwing money into cardboard boxes and checked two people out in front of me. both had the same exact thing but charged 5$ cheaper to the second person if they paid cash. Won't ever being going back. asian bistro is so much better read more

So impressed with China Taste. My boyfriend and I ordered delivery from here last night. It was delicious. They arrived within 20 minutes of our order!! So fast! The food was hot which is really important to me. We will definitely order from China Taste again! read more

China Taste - Orange chicken and General Tso's chicken - Chinese Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Love this place! Definitely my go-to Chinese takeout, favorites are the vegetable lo mein and spring rolls(always perfectly hot!) you will not be disappointed. read more

We were looking for some warm egg drop soup!! One of the best we've ever had. The pieces of chicken in the soup were a wonderful surprise. We also had the pork fried rice which was filled with tender pork!! A great place for a quick bite! read more

If you would like average, take-out Chinese food then this is your place. Nothing stood out to me and yet it wasn't horrible. I'd go back if it were my only option. read more

I'm a fanatical Chinese-food lover, having worked in a wonderful takeout on Long Island for most of my high school years, so my standards are quite high. When I'm visiting the family in Ephrata, China Taste is the only place I'll order from. I'm bummed they took the veggie dumplings off their menu, but I was really surprised at how good the pizza rolls were, even if they aren't "authentic" Chinese cuisine. They'll even do General Tso's tofu and sesame tofu, which is always a treat. read more

I'm a pretty picky chinese takeout person. I get skeeved out by some battered chicken and I worry about meat. My family eats monthly from China Taste. We always get the all white meat LoMein, orange shrimp, all white meat general tsos, tangerine three delicaces (only shrimp and scallops) and hot soup. read more

I remember being home sick from school and my dad got Chinese from them. They are my go to Chinese place. I have been going here for so long. The only thing I can say is they need to update online menu. Prices are fair and for the lunch specials prices you get a lot of food. Combination platters are good pricing too. Service is always good (delivery). They deliver to me free as long as my order is over $10. Delivery times always vary but it's no worse than ordering a pizza. Will continue to give China taste my business. read more

China Taste is about what you would expect from a small town Chinese restaurant. I enjoy what I have had here but I stick with the basics: generals tso and chicken and broccoli. The food is greasy which is to be expected for American Chinese food. The biggest problem I have had with this restaurant is my wife found a staple in her food a couple of years ago, which obviously kept us from going back until about a year ago. The inside of the restaurant itself is nothing to right home about, in fact I would say it borders on dirty. The staff is fine, but often taking personal calls between waiting on customers. If you are in the mood for Chinese food in the downtown Ephrata area China Taste will definitely work but if you are just hungry and passing through town I would probably go with something else. read more

Menu prices listed online arent accurate. They charged me ten more dollars than what was listed. But i got 3 times more food than i could eat read more

Ordered are meal over a hour ago. Had to call twice . Both times lady said they were on there way and it's been now 1 /2 and still waiting . read more

this is our neighborhood go to chinese restaurant. Reasonably priced, big portions, food is always very good. Love the Mei Fun.

In the context of Asian take out, this place is pretty good. They don't come close to Tokyo Asian but that is a restaurant. I like the staff a lot. My judgement is based on the General Tso Chicken platter. Maybe they do better with other dishes but that one is a touch greasy for my taste. Nevertheless, good food, good people, good price. My wife might give them five stars. That is a category I reserve for the the tippy top. Very rare that I do that. :) Some people drive all the way from Lancaster to eat here so I'm not kidding when I say that they are pretty good. read more

I'm not from the area so I ordered from this place based on the good reviews that they have received, I ordered the General Tso's chicken and some fried cheese wontons and they were both amazing! The delivery was a little slow, but it is a Friday night so I didn't mind. Besides the food being delicious, my order was relatively cheap. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

I went to China Taste for the first time last night. We ordered General Tso's Chicken with beef rice and Crab Rangoon. I got a spring roll too which happily surprised me because I didn't order it and I love them. As soon as we started eating it my husband and I both agreed it was not very good Chinese food, but since I was so hungry I ate it anyway. Unfortunately for me, I spent the entire night feeling sick and got very little sleep. I will never go back to China Taste. I may never go back to any Chinese restaurant after that meal! read more

This is an interesting one. It is not the best in the area, there are better. The food is pretty good, but the cleanliness is bad, and you can tell just by looking behind the building. If it was clean, it would get 4 stars, but its lack of being clean will stand out to any person who is picky about that kind of stuff. read more

I live fairly close to China taste and we always get our food fresh and hot, and fast! Both pick up and delivery. Great prices, great food, friendly employees! I love this place! read more

Awful. First timer and never again. If you like your fried rice flavorless and your "chicken" unidentifiable, order here. White meat? Yea right. I am not even able to tell what part of the chicken my chicken came from. 80 percent breading. Biggest piece of chicken was the size of a super ball. read more

I am a fanatic about Chinese food and will try just about anything. I make my own and have had some of the best from around the US, including Washington State and even parts of Canada. This place is the best in the area! It's one of my top 10 in the country. I love their take on the Crab Cheese Wontons! They are to die for and they are nearly the only ones who make them this way. Sweet. Most are just Cream Cheese and Crab, but these guys make em sweet too. Their dumplings, soups, lo mein, general Tso's, spring rolls, poo poo party platter and all are fantastic! Slow delivery but totally worth the wait! read more

I went there the other day and ordered the same thing and it looked good(inside the dining room) but today I ordered to go and it was terrible!! for $30.00 there was 2 huge orange slices in the middle ( when I took the oranges out, it looked like a lunch!! The fried rice was so bland and had nothing in it but some coloring(soy sauce?) I will never pay extra for fried rice again... the one dish had peanuts and was all bitter half cooked carrots and celery with only a few shrimp. I couldn't eat it. The dish with battered (Gen Pso??) chicken was like rubber and stuck in a huge ball. I will NEVER go back there again and I even tipped them $3 even though it was a to go order...the egg rolls were filled with only cabbage and a couple years ago I loved the egg rolls..it is going to crap fast. read more

I have eaten Chinese in many cities and this one is still the best. In fact, it puts the other ones to shame. Food never disappoints and everything I have had is good. It's nothing special inside but the food will get you over that. It's still neat to sit in downtown Ephrata for a bite to eat. read more

Have ordered in the past and it was good. Tonight was not the case. I ordered fried scallops which the online order was $2.95. Actual charge was $4.50, and you could not find a scallop under all that breading. House special soup was a load of cabbage. Charges were 20 % more then stated on line. Will not order again! read more

Was pretty impressed with how good the food was! Sweet and sour chicken isn't the best but the lo mein is was great! YUMMY all together. Only takes cash or check so be ready and they deliever! read more

Had the General Tso's chicken and the portion and quality was fine. The sweet and sour soup was very good. The fried noodles provided with the soup were all broken up. I'd prefer not to be offered anything. The pricing is right, so if you can get past the not so new dining room, the food is good. read more

Best Chinese food in Ephrata! They are thorough, speedy and inexpensive. Love this place! Fried cheese wontons are amazing! !
