It was my birthday yesterday so I went off my diet and got the boneless spareribs combo. The ribs were half fat, like warm, not at all fully cooked and the rice was not fully cooked and didn't even taste liked fried rice. I was so disappointed. My arthritic knees have been killing me ever since. I know pork is bad for them , but in the past when I got this once in a while it never bothered them. This place must use the lowest of low grade meat. I had to throw most of my meal out. Thanks for my one special meal waisted. My husband got sweat and sour chicken and it was hard and greasy and he couldn't eat that . read more

Bad service low quality food. I was in tarpon springs working wanted Chinese food. Stopped by here wasn't a pleasant experience.

When we moved to the area, we asked friends to recommend a Chinese takeout. This place was a big hit so we looked no further. We often get Wonton Soup, General Tsao's Chicken and their special Lo Mein. And they deliver too but we usually pick up. Orders are always ready on time. Totally reliable. read more

The food made me sick. I don't know what was in it, but it was just a simple order of chicken, lo mein chicken, fried rice and potstickers yuck. Service left much to be desired both on the phone and delivery on the phone. They barely speak English and they get angry and frustrated. If you have to repeat yourself and ambience isn't available because it's strictly takeout or delivery. read more

We ordered beef lo mein, egg drop soup and a 12-count crab Rangoons. Let me start off with the the lo mein; The carrots were not done and the cabbage tasted off as well as beef, I couldn't figure out what it tasted like. I took maybe four or five bites to make sure I didn't like it, then I went up to the counter and asked if they could refund it. That was not an option so I asked if they could replace it with something. I didn't know what I wanted so I just ordered plain lo mein noodles I then took about four bites of that, and it started to make me sick. The noodles did not taste like any other lo mein noodles I have ever had and they were very oily, with no flavor. The egg drop soup tasted watered down and had a lack of flavor. Even the crab rangoons were off. The moral of the story we're not going back. read more

A couple days ago we were doing laundry a couple doors down from the restaurant. We decided to enjoy some egg rolls while we waited. After making our order, he proceeded to the curb out front. He left the door wide open while smoking a cigarette, leaving smoke billowing into the store. After he was done, he went directly to the grill & started cooking food without washing his hands. He also grabbed ingredients with his bare hands. I was completely disgusted & will not be going back. read more

I ordered beef and broccoli with white rice. They didn't have the option online so I called. They gave me fried rice portion size is great though, I just wish they listened to my order. read more

China Taste - Chinese Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

This place is trash and this why Americans say go back to your countries. The guy working today was so rude to me I was at the coin laundry washing a load cause my washer broke today lucky me... I'm a type one diabetic and really needed to pee, I even offered to pay for something to use the restroom and he told me customer only and I said yah I'm gong to pay for something sir and I asked him for a drink but he said its going to be $5 even the drink fridge said it's $1.50 so I walked away and sent my man in, and the worker was extremely friendly to him and only charged him $1.50 to use the restroom, buddy looked real mad when I walked in. I'm honestly so disappointed especially after I told the man that I have an auto immune disease and even offered to pay for something. I also noticed how unclean this place was and no gloves in sight, I will be reporting to the health department sorry but this business deserves this. And I'm not a bum I'm a hard worker in college so don't see why the attitude from this man was needed. SHAME ON YOU. read more

I have been ordering takeout from China Taste for over 20 years. When I went to pick up my last order, this restaurant had been sold. The people working there were very rude, the food was horrible, and prices had nearly doubled. I purchased a can of coke while I waited and even the soda had gone up in price from $1 to $1.80 . Such a disappointment because altho there are several of these little takeout places in Pinellas County, my family preferred this location. Other places we've tried have served food that was horribly greasy, or the lo-mein noodles would be stuck in a thick clump. The vegetables in our meals were not large and fresh, they used a different sauce which was thin and tasteless. Such a disappointment! read more

We ordered food for a group of friends and ourselves. The food was absolutely horrible. Fried rice was like eating sand. All fried foods were overcooked. No meat on ribs. Terrible. Would not recommend to my enemies. read more

I got my haircut next door and thought it would be convenient to grab a quick lunch. I first asked if the dishes included MSG. The lady said no. So I ordered the House Special chow mein to go. The flavor was bland and the meats (chicken,steak, shrimp) were bland as well and didn't finish it. A few minutes later, I started getting the MSG headache. So they pretty much lied. Not going back. read more

Steam dumplings moore like crappy pirogies no flavor in meat dry never again Didn't have anything else of the menu so I'm just going off of the dumpling. read more

Great food and service most of the time. The person at the register can get a bit rude when it's busy but it's understandable.

I've been to many American Chinese places, and I've certainly had pepper steak and onion at a few of them. They all have their meat and vegetables cut up into strip slices. Not this place. This place just cuts up the pepper and steak into quarters and leave it at that. Hey you don't like big pieces of onion? Too bad! To be fair though, I have been here over the years and their chicken broccoli isn't bad but they are not slicing broccoli into strips aren't they. egg roll isn't bad either Anyway this is just a note to future me to not get this next time. read more

China Taste - Peking duck - Chinese Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

I admit, being Chinese, I'm picky about Chinese food, so I never go to any Chinese take out places, because I know the food just won't taste like home to me. However, in this little town with no real Chinese restaurant, this place, owned by a family from Fujian, is not bad at all. Service is very friendly and food comes out fast, tastes fresh and are not overly salty nor sweet. Their Singaporean noodle is my favorite, on the moist side but I won't discuss wok-chi at a take out place. Also love the tofu which is so tender. My friend is a fan of their shrimp and broccoli. The place is actually quite big, with about 4 tables for dine in, and looks clean. The food still doesn't taste like home, but heck, I've seen a lot worse. read more

See all

Incredibly quick, wide variety of food and gives you the family business atmosphere. I have eaten here many times and it has been consistent. They were even open for Christmas with specials. Truly a nice spot. read more

Placed order, got a delivery time, order confirmed. Called 11/2 later when it never arrived and they didn't have it. Didn't apologize, just made excuses. Will be finding a new Chinese place. read more

They used to have the best coconut shrimp, but the last time we ordered it they didn't make it the same way. There was much less sauce on it, as well. Disappointing. read more

This was a quick call in/pick up late evening meal. Food was fresh, hot and had good flavor. We felt we got large portions for the price. I'll definitely go back. I don't know if they have delivery or dine-in options but the ordering was quick and easy and the prices were very reasonable. This one will definitely be worth another try! read more

The food and the service I received today was absolute trash. I ordered fried chicken wings with shrimp fried rice. The rice was very dry, and the chicken was tasteless. The staff who were in there about 90 minutes ago needs to find another day job. The service and food quality at this restaurant has gone way down. read more

Good pu pu platter. Mushu pork awesome except for the rice pancakes. They were square and not cooked enough. Eggplant and chicken was yummy. Good sized dinner portions. I like the egg rolls and fortune cookies. Just did take out. read more

Although the takeout menu mentions "All Dishes Prepared From Fresh Ingredients" there were not many ingredients to judge from in my Pork Egg Foo Young combo, other than rice and egg. A detailed search found around 15 tiny pieces of pork hiding in the Pork Fried Rice", but there seemed to literally none to be found in the "Pork Egg Foo Young". Although in other takeout experiences I have had to wait after I get home for the egg roll to be cool enough to eat, the egg roll was tough and barely body temperature-old in my opinion. Then there's the counter ambience-wall to wall plexiglass (bullet-proof?) panels with a crude plywood box extended towards the customer within which to transact his business. Is that what "New York Style" is ? What are they afraid of "in there"? I hope that those trying "Chinese Food" for the first time, and who would unfortunately choose China Taste for that event, do not swear to never have "Chinese Food" again. read more

China Taste - two take out containers of food - Chinese Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Got food poisoning from this restaurant after eating their Mixed Vegetables dish on March 28, 2019. Family is never eating there again.

This place is not very good. I gave two stars because I have only been here twice and ordered the same thing both times, hoping that the first was just a bad day. I was wrong. The rice is not soft and tastes like plastic. Seems like they just used minute rice or something cheap. The honey chicken, both times, just tastes like they fried the chicken and forgot to put the sauce on. It had little to nothing on it. I will never come back here again. read more

Excellent service, fresh and delicious food. Ordered take-out, veggies with rice noodles! My friend raved about their wonton soup. Cooked perfectly! Would highly recommend for a quick delicious & healthy meal! Chop sticks available upon request. They offer delivery are open late-night hours on weekends. read more

Singapore Mei fun is spicier than ever:-) my go to place for Chinese take out in the area.

I have no idea what these other reviewers had eaten there, but I am from New York and this place is the only place in the Clearwater area that actually comes the closest, maybe even spot on with its food. I had the Sesame Chicken and General Tao's Chicken and they were AWESOME! The sauce, quality of chicken, everything!! I even went back the next evening to get some more sesame chicken because I was day dreaming about this place while at work. I would definitely go back and recommend this place. read more

Stopped in on a weekend night to China Taste, which is just a stone's throw off of Hwy 19 N. The interior is common Chinese takeout, very bright and clean, with ~6 tables. The menu is typical of most area takeouts in the area, with a notable exception being a house specialty of roast duck & broccoli with snow peas, water chestnuts, corn, Chinese vegetables, mushrooms, red carrots and bamboo shoots. Order taking was quick in spite of many phone orders that were coming in on this weekend night. I ordered chicken and broccoli with chicken fried rice and egg roll, and it was served up about 5 minutes later....lightning fast, in my experience. The egg roll was quite good, with lots of vegetable flavor, a nice crisp exterior and not greasy at all. The rice was a mixed bag. I loved the texture of the rice...a good texture with short grains that didn't stick together, with a mixture of carrots/peas/onions throughout. The downside was the rice was bland, even though it had a yellowish cast indicating there had been some attempt to kick in some extra taste. And while I appreciated that the rice wasn't coated with so much sauce the rice simply clumps (as many Chinese takeouts seem to do), unfortunately there was just a lack of flavor for my tastes. The chicken & broccoli was another mixed result, with both of those ingredients having very fresh flavors. The downside was the sauce seemed to be one dimensional, with only a single, distinct spice/herb flavor I couldn't place. Almost all takeouts where I've eaten chicken & broccoli they use a similar brown sauce (soy sauce based, often mixed with oyster or hoisin sauce). In my opinion a great Chinese sauce usually hits multiple notes of the five basic flavors (sweet, bitterness, sour, salty, and umami). This sauce was reddish, had no soy/oyster/hoisin flavor, and unfortunately, I wasn't wowed by that single spice/herb flavor. It certainly didn't taste bad, it just didn't taste complete....as if some things were missing. Halfway through the dish I was jonesing for my favorite bottle of sauce from home. Given the fresh ingredients that were well-cooked, I won't be surprised if when I return there may be another dish that hits the spot for me. I'll update my review on my next visit. The scores on my Chinese takeout scale: Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Food: 3 Value: 3 read more

Typical Chinese takeout restaurant. Little to no English spoken, rude and speak to you like they are doing you a favor. The woman at the register was chewing a mouthful of food while telling me my total. Just disgusting, Ugh..so tired of business owners taking your hard earned money and can't treat you with respect. I have a hard time giving my business to places like this. Food was steaming hot and good on the positive end. read more

Please don't eat here or order food from here. My daughter caught the owner preparing broccoli and dropped some on the floor. He picked it up off the floor and placed it in the bin for the cook line. We confronted him and he lied through his teeth, but knew he'd been caught. read more

Only fast food Chinese place I'll eat at. Very consistent flavor and freshness. Have been going here for 2-3 years without one problem. I'd recommend a few more eat in tables though. My one complaint would be they out it in to go containers every time no matter how many times you tell them your eating there. A little better communication would probably earn them more business read more

I am almost never disappointed with New york style Chinese take-out, but these guys seemed to know just how to do that. Everything is so bland, with the exception of the wonton's in the wonton soup, which were large and very good. They used hardly any seasonings, the tempura batter tasted like water, everything was just blah, not horrendous, but certainly not worth paying anything for. Wont go back. read more

Please don't eat here! Ordered shrimp with broccoli and when I started to eat the shrimp they were like mush in the inside and the overall taste was sour. In fear of getting food poisoning I could not eat my dinner. We immediately called to let them know and quite honestly was shocked over how rude we were treated. The woman offered 2 egg rolls the next time we would order. I explained it was too hard to get there and back due to a disability. When she refused to issue a refund I mentioned I would be sure to write a review of our experience she laughed and said go right ahead! Wow! $10.25 in the garbage and no dinner! Very Disappointing! Seriously beware of what they are willing to serve to customers. I read some of the other reviews and they mention rude woman so I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. read more

This chinese food is great. Their portion sizes are very large. I am a vegetarian and they always make my special requests for extra broccoli. The wait time is never longer than 10-15 mins. The restaurant is very clean and the girl at the counter is always friendly. They do deliver if your order is over $15. Delivery tome is usually 30 mins and they arrive on time with the correct order. *I order from here 1-2 times a week* read more

Loved it! So glad we've found a great place in Tarpon! The krab Rangoon was so good! We had the sweet and sour chicken, and beef and broccoli, and both were delicious! read more

For takeout Chinese, this was excellently prepared. Delicious. Made just the way I like it with a wide array of vegetables. I got homestyle tofu, shrimp egg roll & vegetable mei fun. read more

I don't know what has happened to this place but the food is awful. It was really tasty and on point a year ago but has rapidly gone down hill. I ordered a Szechuan chicken combo meal for take-out and it was tasteless. Bland, bland, bland. I've had Szechuan before in many places including NYC and it generally is very spicy and brings perspiration to my forehead. This one was bland without a single chili pepper in the whole meal. The fried rice was very dry and seemed old. I've had Cantonese with more flavor. They advertise "New York Style" but I doubt anyone there has ever been to NYC, much less Beijing. There was a time when I highly recommended this place but, no more. My wife ordered sweet and sour chicken and found her chicken very soggy and the sauce on the side very cold. She wouldn't order from this place again. Our egg rolls were cooked in old oil and were tasteless as well. The only item on their menu still worth ordering is their hot and sour soup. It still has lots of flavor and is worth the price. Everything else, meh. We will be looking around for another Chinese take out place to patronize when we want to have authentic Chinese in the future. read more
