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 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.

65. Sweet and Sour Chicken

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!

Mapo Tofu and S6. General Tsos Chicken
Elise C.

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.

Chicken  wings and pork fried rice.
Max M.

We ordered take out, ready in 20 minutes. I had the chicken wings (4 of them) with pork fried rice. I have had a lot of fried rice in my life, but this was like boiled white rice with a sort of greasy taste is the best description that I could give it. The pork was small dark cubes of ham-like pieces with a few (very few) onion pieces softly cooked. The chicken had dark bones, which I surmise was previously frozen, which in these times was not unusual. Before I had the General Tso's chicken which was much better, a 4 star for certain, but this was not a meal worthy.

Very good Chinese food at a reasonable price. Combination platters offer ample food with rice and an egg roll.

I ordered a General Taos chicken. It's got a great flavor, the chicken is crispy and the right amount of hot spices. I love it!

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

We discovered this restaurant thanks to our amazing walking tour guide…read more The restaurant has a unique vibe in that it's located in the same building as the Pour House. You can always grab a bite here and then head next door for some live jazz! That being said, the food was phenomenal. Everything is unapologetically spicy, so be prepared! We had the biang biang noodles, the lamb dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and the fried green beans. Everything was delicious but my favorite were the Biang Biang noodles. Honestly wish I had discovered this spot a day earlier as there were probably 6 other items that I wanted to try! lol I'd highly recommend it if you're in town.

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!
