    Chicken and Shrimp Hibatchi
    Lorene M.

    I was starving after a grueling workout. Needed something filling and healthy, so I decided to try China Taste. This restaurant is located in a Plaza on Johns Island off of Maybank Rd. There is carry out and dine in available. It appears to be mostly a carryout business as there was no one eating in the dining area, and no hostess or hostess stand in view. I called in my order of Chicken and Shrimp Hibatchi. They offer all of the typical Chinese food fare as well as soft drinks. No bar is available at this location. There is plexiglass totally shielding the counter where you order and pick up food. It doesn't really give a warm welcoming vibe and makes it a little awkward to communicate and pay as you pass your credit card through a tiny hole in the plexiglass. The food is in a multi- compartment Styrofoam container. You get a large portion, but the food tends to get sloshed around and leaks in the bag before I got it home. I've seen other places pack the meat and veggies separate from the rice and I like that better. Less messy. The food was good. They were generous with the shrimp and chicken, and it was tender. The veggies were cooked perfectly and not mushy. They only offer white rice. I would have preferred brown, but it was tasty. Overall, it's not a bad experience for a quick grab and go meal. This is not a place to sit down and have that warm ambiance and dining experience. Price is average compared to similar restaurants. There is plenty of parking in the strip plaza.

    China Taste is great for take out! I typically order the Sweet and Sour chicken combination plate with vegetable fried rice and an egg roll along with chicken fried rice - light on the oil. The food is always ready quickly and hot. The owner recognizes me and knows my order by heart when I call. Quick and convenient!

    China Taste on Johns Island has quickly become one of my local favorites for authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine. When we stepped inside, we were greeted and our order was taken right away. Not a very big place, only one or two tables. Most all of their business is takeout. Their menu has a wide variety of classic Chinese dishes. The General Tso's Chicken is a favorite, with crispy, tender pieces of chicken coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. For something little lighter, the Vegetable Lo Mein is a low calorie option, packed with fresh vegetables and savory sauce. This time around we tried the chicken and shrimp hibachi and it was absolutely delicious. Large portions shrimp, chicken, vegetables and rice. This dish also comes with yum yum sauce, which is a wonderful dipping sauce. Whether you're craving a quick TAKEOUT lunch or dinner, China Taste is sure to satisfy your cravings. It's a hidden gem on Johns Island that is a must-try.

    Mapo Tofu and S6. General Tsos Chicken
    Elise D.

    We just moved to the island and we have been getting a lot of takeout during the move. I saw in reviews that they were takeout only, so we ordered on Doordash. I was craving mapo tofu, so I was excited to see it on the menu. General Tso's was rated number one on Doordash, so my fiancé ordered that. The food came quickly and had a good amount of sauces and fortune cookies to go with it. The portion size on my mapo tofu was huge, I think I'll get 3 meals out of it! My fiancés General tso's had a good amount of spice and was accompanied by fried rice that he thought was ok. The mapo tofu had a nice tingly spice to it and a good amount of veggies in there. Overall, we were both very satisfied with our meals. Definitely a great spot when you're craving some Chinese takeout.

    Low mein, orange chicken, dumplings, sweet and sour chicken

    We got the low mein, orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, veggies, egg drop soup, dumplings and Boneless Spare Ribs. We've been looking for a Chinese place in Charleston for 2 years. Everything we had was very good. My husband was especially in love with the boneless spare ribs. If you're looking for solid Chinese, we would definitely recommend it.

    Not a lot to compare to in the South but the chicken was under-seasoned and there could have been more of it.

    I love soup dumplings and all things dim sum so I'm not sure what took me so long to come in for…read moredinner. We did come in on a busy Saturday night at prime dinner time so we had to wait about 40 mins, but I knew there would be a wait so that's fine. Also, once you sit down, you don't wait for anything. Every time we ordered, the food came out in a few minutes or less. For our first round, we started with the a pot of jasmine tea, cucumber salad and the crab rangoon. The cucumber salad seems like such a simple dish, but the mix of flavor they add makes it a refreshing bite between each course... this is a must have. The crag rangoon was some of the best we've ever had and we loved it so much that we ordered a second plate. There are only three per plate so order accordingly. The tea was great but let it steep longer than you think you need to for maximum flavor. Next we did a round fo dumplings. Obviously we had the pork soup dumplings which were fantastic. I wanted to get more, but we had also ordered the sichuan chili wonton and the pan seared pork dumpling. While I enjoyed both of these, I would probably try some of the others on the menu next time. We finished with two entrees. One was the udon noodles with chicken and the other was the beef and broccoli. I love udon noodles for their bouncy texture and this portion was plentiful. The beef and broccoli was so tender and delicious. This would also be a must order item and make sure to get a side of white rice to go with it. While the robot didn't come anywhere near our table, the human servers were all amazing and made sure we had everything we need at a moments notice. They really run a tight ship here and can turn tables while providing excellent service all at once. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    What a great experience at Chef Loong! Came here for a date night after seeing stuff about it…read moreonline and it did not disappoint! We had a reservation and I didn't think we would need it because it was 7:30 on a Thursday, but this place was so busy, we were glad we had one. We were seated quickly and throughout the meal everything was super fast, but we were very hungry so we didn't feel rushed at all. We ordered the crab Rangoon, truffle pork dumplings, chicken dumplings, the naan, and the matcha mochi for dessert. Everything was amazing and so flavorful. The dumplings were really delicious and soupy. The mochi was such a great light dessert! I also found the robot to be a fun and cute addition that you don't see every day!

    This restaurant is a masterclass in balance. While the spice level is impressive, it never masks…read morethe deep umami and sweetness of the dishes. The ambiance is very charming, making it a great spot for a casual yet elevated dinner. The Drink: We tried the traditional infused Baijiu for the first time. It's a concentrated liquor that packs a serious punch! It's served in a vessel smaller than a shot glass and meant to be sipped. One of the staff members shared the history and craft behind it, which made the experience feel like a genuine cultural exchange The Food: The Hot and Sour Mushrooms are the unsung heroes of the menu. They were earthy, tangy, and the perfect palate cleanser between bites of the fiery Cumin Lamb Noodles. Can't wait to go back and try other menu items!

    Great hidden Chinese spot on James island for those who love a little (or a lot of) spice!…read more Kewi Fei is a super charming gem with fantastic food and service. It's not huge inside so if you're sold on dinner here, get a reservation! The staff is excellent about explaining the menu and identifying choices that can dial up or down the spice. We ordered a variety of plates including the marinated cucumbers, lamb dumplings, crispy potatoes, green beans, and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was absolutely fantastic, but the lamb dumplings and noodles knocked it out of the park. Everything but the green beans had some level of spice, but nothing intolerable. The food comes out family style and many of the plates are on the smaller side so it's made for sharing. You can't go wrong with anything here, just prepare to drink lots of water while enjoying the amazing food!!

    Zen Asian Fusion delivered an incredible sushi experience and made my birthday celebration feel…read moregenuinely special. We sat at the sushi bar, which I highly recommend, and from the moment we sat down it was clear we were in good hands. We were surprised right away with a complimentary amuse‑bouche--crab stick rolled with salmon--which was a thoughtful and delicious touch. To start, I ordered the seaweed salad while Justin went with the ginger salad; both were fresh, balanced, and a perfect lead‑in to the sushi. For the main event, I ordered a spicy tuna roll and eel nigiri, and this is where Zen really shined. The spicy tuna roll was exactly what sushi lovers hope for--very light on rice and heavy on fish, something that's surprisingly hard to find around Charleston. The eel nigiri was rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Justin ordered several pieces of sashimi and was equally impressed. We asked about albacore tuna (unfortunately unavailable), but were told the salmon was excellent--and moments later, we were unexpectedly served two additional pieces of sushi each. Completely unexpected and incredibly appreciated, especially for a birthday celebration. Between the quality of the fish, attention to detail, and warm hospitality, Zen Asian Fusion absolutely won us over. We've officially found our new sushi spot and can't wait to come back.

    I tried Zen and was pretty impressed at the quality of the sushi and the kitchen items…read more The calamari was good. I love big pieces of squid. Squid is actually my favorite nigiri. You definitely might need to cut it down or maybe half it for a bite but I still loved it. They brought it with a fork and knife, so it's kind of expected. I also ordered the Sambal or yellow curry with chicken. It was pretty good too. It came with a house salad. The dressing on the salad was delicious. The samba curry was really good too. I liked that everything came out hot. I also ordered the SC rainbow. It was good too. I pretty much liked everything I ordered. Id probably order all of those again. Service and ambiance was good. It seemed busier than I expected.
