Portions here are huge, well except for my go-to favorite, pork and dry bean curd. Seems like they cut the portion in half from previous visits which is concerning. Their chicken and snow cabbage fried rice however is humongous, as is their spicy pork chops (similar to salt pepper pork chops). One order came with 5 large thick pork chops and you couldn't even close the container. It was also very good and would order this again. read more

Fast service and selections are good. Very good value for your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

DONT TRY DONT GO SAVE YOUR TASTE BUDS. Chicken wings taste like nothing! Absolutely nothing. Im not confident they used oil to fry the chicken. Fried Rice taste like sand and rice. The food was very horrible. Customer service was average. Environment was decent butttt I aint come for great customer service or cute ambiance. I came with appetite and left with appetite and 11.60 less. read more

We gave China Taste a try, but unfortunately, the food just didn't hit the mark for us. The prices were great and the service was solid--friendly and quick--but the flavor wasn't quite there. We ordered an egg roll, which I only took one bite of, and both the orange chicken and sesame chicken. They were okay, but not very flavorful unless you really soaked the chicken in sauce. It lacked the boldness we usually enjoy in these dishes. That said, it might've just been what we ordered--other reviews seem to rave about different items on the menu. We just didn't end up enjoying our choices this time around, so we probably won't be returning. Still, we appreciate the quick service and affordable pricing. read more

Honestly best Chinese, I've been going here for so long and they never change, they pack the food and it overflows and the prices are so good for what you get! Services is mid but it's quick, tasty so I recommend! read more

Place is still a dive. Carry out only. Singapore style noodles Spicy dry fry tofu with pork Szechuan green beans Salt and pepper calamari I wish the would go back to dine in. read more

First appearance is it's a dive. I wasn't impressed. But the food was good and the portions were very generous. I consider myself a home chef and these guys used a lot of quality ingredients in my order (garlic shrimp with fried rice). read more

They need to scan their menu for their web site. I bet they loose a lot of business because no one can read their menu on line. This is my favorite asian restaurant for the last 30 + years. I know what they have on the menu. Excellent food, fair prices with plenty of parking. read more

Great food, great service, and great people. My husband and I went there and we loved it so much I have been there three other times. I loved to seat down and eat and China Taste. They give you so much food. read more

Yes the location hours have changed and it has converted to carry out since Covid-19. The food tastes great and the portions are hefty. The kitchen staff is quick and efficient to getting tasty orders while you wait in your car. read more

**second experience** This place is always fresh, I love their sushi always freshly made in front of you! Honestly great bang for your especially the lunch special. read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Really wanted to feel good about supporting a local small business, but tasteless dishes (orange chicken and beef with green peppers) were just one reason I won't be ordering from here again. A long strand of human hair in my beef dish was another. Very disappointing. read more

I've been coming here since I was a child, so this review is long over due. This is my family's go to place for takeout, my grandparents came here a lot too (RIP :( ), and now I can take my bf and friends here! My family usually orders the same things so here are a list of things I've tried. ~ENTRES~ DRY BEAN CURD W/ BEEF: Just tofu with shredded beef, a popular dish in Chinese cuisine. The tofu and shredded pork is stir fried in a sweet/savory sauce and there is jalapeno on the dish for an added kick. This pairs well with rice, not too salty either. SAUTEED FISH FILLET : One of my favorite dishes!! It comes in a stone/clay pot, theres white fish (not sure what kind), pickled cabbage, tofu, and bamboo in a clear savory sauce. Its like a thick broth, not too much where its soup and has a subtle flavor. I really enjoy this dish because its all of my favorite foods combined and its not too salty. SNOW CABBAGE & EGG & SHREDDED PORK FRIED RICE: BEST FRIED RICE! When people think of fried rice, they think of rice mixed with soy sauce and those frozen peas and carrots, this fried rice is on a different level. It has so many more flavors, the pickled snow cabbage makes this dish for me. ~SUSHI~ SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL- just a standard tempura shrimp with rice, not a big piece like most place, no cucumbers that go with it CRUNCHY SPICY TUNA ROLL- 1st roll I've tried from China Taste and has been my go to for awhile, I love the crunchy bread crumbs embedded in the roll. CALIFORNIA ROLL- standard california roll SALMON ROLL- I'm like 100% sure they used the smoked salmon from costco, its super salty, not a fan of this roll, but if you like smoked salmon then definitely try this. As for service, they give you a number and they call it out when your order is ready and I usually bus my own dishes since theres only one lady that does it and she works really hard, so I try to help her out. I've tried many other dishes from this place, but unfortunately I do not know the english name since my mom always orders. I usually order those listed when I am there by myself. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out, its a hole in a wall kind of restaurant, but those are the best type of restaurants. read more

Ordered Dai Liu soup. Was sick the next day... all day. I would never recommend anyone going to this location. I took back the food today and explained to the manager that the food was bad, he was very rude and said that's BS, took the food and asked me to leave. I told him I was not expecting a refund and I was just informing him that the food was bad. He motioned for me to leave, was very rude. Never again would I purchase food from that restaurant. read more

Excellent, friendly and quick service for take-out. Food was delicious for this neighborhood restaurant

Rude, dried up entrees all to often. Asked tonight to sub lo mien noodles for rice would pay an extra charge but no go only order two full entrees and then refused service. Try the new local hot pots. After 10 years as a loyal customer this place has run its course, and don't waste your time on the low quality sushi. In this day and age and competitive carry out, treating regular customers with respect should be part of customer service. And so I vote with my feet to Kenny's around the block, Chinese is the same most places and no attitude. And for any one who wonders about a substitution, over near work I get a lo mien subbed for rice for .50 extra on a chicken teriyaki - so really what is the cost of keeping a regular weekly customer or losing one to others within walking distance. read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I worked in Rockville, MD from 1996 through 2010 and used to be a regular at China Taste - Tokyo Express on Rollins Ave, just off Rockville Pike. I used to have lunch here regularly so since I was in town for the weekend, I thought I'd see if it was still here. We visited on a Sunday at about noon and was happy to see the owner, Jay was still there. We visited a bit about how COVID affected business and how we were both doing. He indicated it was a rough stretch but he was still there. I was glad he was. We ordered my usual, General Tso's Chicken and my wife has Pork Lo Mein. It was as good as I remembered and the portions were still huge! We moved to Phoenix, AZ and it has been impossible to find good Chinese Food there but coming back to China Taste was a walk down memory lane. The rest of the menu looked familiar and it made me wish I was in town longer. Check it out and tell Jay "hi" for me. He will treat you like a regular too, read more

Take-out only. Horrible food experience. Don't waste your time or money. Staff was rude too. 0 stars. read more

Hidden gem!! (This review is long overdue.) Located next to the post office and across the street from Seven Eleven!! Super fresh & scrumptious sushi + great service + inexpensive maki rolls ($4.50/ maki roll [8 pieces/roll]) + 2 containers of complimentary/free good-for-the-soul soup (miso/hot & spicy or a choice of 3 their types of soup) + awesome company = perfect date night/friends night out Fabulous perks: Free hot oolong tea ([sipping on the perfect hot oolong tea w/ my eyes closed immediately transported me to a place of serenity/tranquility] this type of tea would have cost $2-3 elsewhere) and cold water w/ ice for customers while you wait for takeout or dine-in Separate restrooms for women/men, a plus in my book! The homey ambience makes me want to come back time and time again. Saw HUGE portions of authentic soul food that other customers were enjoying! Wish I could get some mouth-watering sushi now! Recommend without reservations! Absolutely no regrets, completely worth it! So many gluten-free, no msg choices too! read more

AWFUL AND DO NOT GO HERE . They used to be amazing. Now they are run down, dirty, and cheap. They still haven't opened seating. They've close to double their pricing. Have rude customer service. Quality of fish sucks. Taste like it just came out of freezer. read more

Our go to for adorable sushi take out. They're super quick and can't beat their prices. We love it.

My family has gotten takeout from here at least 5 times and have enjoyed every meal! My boyfriend from Asia says there Taiwanese dishes are pretty accurate and tasty. We also love how affordable they are! They do not have a lot of conversation on the phone or with pick up but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. Overall great place to grab a bite to eat! We really like the noodle dishes, spicy salmon/tuna rolls, spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, and fried rice! read more

PEANUT ALLERGY ALERT!!! They put PEANUTS in CALIFORNIA ROLLS. WHY???? My son has peanut allergy. After eating a couple of California rolls, he started feeling nauseous and broke out in hives. So, I called the restaurant to see whether there is peanuts in the California rolls. The sushi chef confirmed that they use a Japanese mayo (this likely BS) that contains peanut oil. First of all, who puts mayo in California rolls??? Secondly, I thought he was lying. Allergens are removed through the peanut oil processing process. They're trying to skimp out by adding peanut mayo (whatever junk) fillers to the already fake 'krab' meat. DON'T go. I'm wondering about other shady stuff they're doing with the food. read more

dont order the fish and rice it is all rice and with fish dust sprinkled in no flavor except for the greasy rice with pack of soy sauce provided , trying the tso next will leave and additional review read more

It's a clean, easy to access place. I think it's fair to say that you get what you pay for. Well, maybe a little bit more if flavor wouldn't hurt :-) It satisfies the evening craving for Chinese food well. It is cheap and fast. I'm not a big fan of their fried rice, it is very bland. But the rest of the things I have tasted were pretty decent. I haven't tasted their sushi, so this review is for China Taste only. The service is nice, and the people is friendly. I believe the cooks are Latin American lead by an Asian chef. I would go back every now and then when I crave for Chinese and I don't want to spend a lot of money and I'm already outside. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. I've been coming here for many years and love the food. read more

Food is delicious and fresh. This is carry out only. Prices have gone up a lot since Covid, but it's worth it.

Horrible.. went from bad to worse - ordered yellowtail and tuna by phone .. get there and told no yellowtail .. why didn't she tell me , I ask . She didn't know... he replies .. ok .. I order something else .. give him a 10 since it was $9 last time - he says$12 ! For lunch special !?!? Then opened the package , rolls are uneven , some of them busted open as they skimp on seaweed .. not ever again . Place used to be excellent in its heyday 20 years ago ! read more

Food was great. Little on the expensive side for lunch. Food was great and a good portion. I just wish they had eat in and a lunch special items with fried rice. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the area. I'm a frequent customer. Surprisingly, their sushi is very fresh and generous portions and absolutely yummy. My go-to order is always: - Salmon Special: 6 giant sushi pieces, 6 giant slices of sashimi - Broil California Roll: it's a jumbo Cali roll topped with REAL crab meat and sauces and tons of tobiko - Dried Tofu with Pork: it slices of dried tofu and pork with jalepenos stir fried The sushi comes with miso soup. They have Americanized Chinese food and authentic Chinese cookings along with a full Japanese menu from edamame, to teriyaki, to sushi. This place is awesome and I frequently go every week. I highly recommend you check it out and don't be dissuaded by its location. read more

I called the restaurant and the individual who answered the phone was incredible rude and abrupt. I asked about seating and he says they will not do that ever again. I asked howcome. He responded with a question.....I have to give you a reason? I said no, but no need to be rude and mean spirited about a fair question when people are used to going there to sit down. read more

Dried bean curd with pork is the best. If you eat GLUTEN FREE, he will sell you a bottle of GF soy sauce for just $3 and make your meal gluten free. Then you keep the rest. OR, he'll even label the bottle with your name and keep it for you to use on future meals so you don't have to pay the $3! No other restaurant has offered me such a nice and personal touch to accommodate my condition. Also, he will tell you upfront if the dish can't realistically be done gluten free. Big portions (my family of 3 can only finish 1dish) and meat is high quality and tender. COVID 19: this is one of those places that locks off the entire restaurant so nobody can come inside and you can only come pick up your food through a plexiglass glass barrier at the entrance. Cops eat here so you know it's good! read more

Always had nice service here when I go as a customer! Even though it's only been carry out orders. I love getting food from here when I can, and I think they're generous with their portion sizes compared to some other restaurants. And the orders are always fast with making it for pick up, so you can get food on the go easily if you're always out and about/tight schedule. (For me, it's usually 10-15 mins & the food's ready) read more

This is place is pretty unique. It's part Chinese takeout, part sushi joint, part "real deal" Chinese food. It's the third category we were interested in, and China Taste didn't disappoint. We had crispy chicken (a bit salty but quite good), spinach sautéed with garlic and probably the best spicy wonton I've ever eaten. The authentic Chinese menu is limited but interesting, supplemented by a daily special. The ambience is nothing fancy but clean and bright. (Unlike many Chinese places, they let the sun shine in the windows.) The service is basic: you order at the counter, then fetch your own plates and cutlery. (For some reason, you need to ask for chopsticks at the counter.) The tea, which again you serve yourself, is free. But I found the staff quite friendly, and the food came out in good time. Based on this first experience, this place is going to be part of our regular rotation. Will update as we get to know the place better. read more

Their handmade noodle dish are delicious! Customer service is great and always willing to make changes base on special requests.

I had a horrible experience. I was deciding what I wanted and manager was very impatient with me...then as I waited outside all of a sudden I see him running to the front kitchen and throws down his gloves on the ground and starts yelling and very abuse to the women up front. The women just stood there and took it, then he opens the kitchen door and starts yelling at the back....I realize now I should have called the police...is it a sweatshop? I was so upset I didn't know what to do!! I was so stunned I took the food and left. The food itself was not good. The whole experience was awful read more

Taste is decent but the portions and value is what this place is all about. Big fried rice portions. Try the pork and snow cabbage fried rice! read more

This has been my family's go-to chinese food since childhood and it's very underrated. Me and my family go here all the time for quality chinese food. They give large portions and the food has always been a hit. Last time we went, we ordered the dialu soup, yung chow fried rice. dry bean curd with pork, and crispy beef. We also ordered crispy tuna rolls which had a lot of tempura and fresh tuna and was delicious. Each dish is fresh and crispy. The only complaint I had was before the pandemic, seating was VERY limited. It was hard to find a table to fit more than 5 people. Since the pandemic started, we take out all the time and are able to eat this delicious food at home. read more

Very Disappointed. The fried tofu and vegetable were not edible. The tofu was mushy bc it was not properly drained and tasted a bit off, the sauce had a strange vinegar flavor with a sour after taste, and the brown rice was too mushy/sticky. The veggie dumplings were mediocre and chewy with two much green leafy substance. The veggie lo mein was a large portion but very basic flavors. Waste of money and food! read more

Although their food is tasty and cheap, their customer service is awful. You can really enjoy the food only until they make a mistake in your order and you DARE to ask for a refund. BIG MISTAKE. They will not admit their mistake, will shout at you in front of other customers, and will accuse you for making the mistake. Never coming back to this place. read more
