Just moved here. I was really impressed by the quality. One of the best General Tso chicken I've ever had.

For hole in the wall Chinese takeout, this place is better than the other takeouts closeby. Love their chop suey. My friend loves their beef and broccoli. Egg drop soup is excellent. And their fried wonton crunchies for the soup are light snd delicate. read more

The egg rolls were terrible. The China Taste egg rolls near Walmart on 41 are far superior. Update: there were two good egg rolls and two that sucked. We order egg rolls and we get two different types Why??? read more

INSANE that this restaurant has such a low rating. My family are locals and regularly, and I mean REGULARLY dine here. It's such a popular location that it's always packed with customers and orders. If the wait times are long, it's because dozens and dozens of customers are lining up out the doors for their spectacular food. Whenever I come to Florida on vacations we have their food. It's always delicious. Never has my family had a bad experience with their food, service, or anything. This is authentic, delicious Chinese food with a ton of options for my pescatarian and vegetarian friends. I'm astonished this place isn't rated higher. Genuinely deserves a five out of five. Highly recommend! Me and my family will CONTINUE to come here and support their business. read more

Used to be the best not so much anymore my vegetable egg foo young was made in old oil I couldn't eat it and they don't give brown gravy as supposed to it's more like thick hoisin saucethe steamed dumplings were good the wonton soup needs wontons with more around them they make such deliciously thin wontons. I was completely disappointed & I'm sick to my stomach today read more

Hmmm, use to be our go to Chinese place! Ordered Beef Egg Foo Young our usual which was three round individual patties and a thin dark brown gravy served with white rice. Today we received a(one) omelet with some vegetables and four small pieces of thin beef, dark gravy(half of what it use to be which was so thick it had to be scraped off the spoon! Tasted nothing like the previous Beef Egg Foo Young! Gross, sadly time to find somewhere else for Chinese food! Maybe new owners?? read more

Last review, I rated 4-star. Moving down to 3 because Mongolian beef had way too much onion while it should have been green onion (and less). Stir-fried onion dominated the dish (beef did not). Serving size was enough for two people; however, $22 charge (w/won ton soup) was more than expected. Again, I liked the hard-working staff with good attitude. read more

Ok take-out place...nothing special, have had better, have had worse...good to call and get your food in 15 minutes, so I'm sure we'll try it again. read more

I have been living in Englewood for the past 13 years and finally found good Chinese food the best excellent and great people

CONSISTENT, FRESH and DELICIOUS!!! Not all China Taste locations are created equal. This location has been great every single time. And the people there are consistently nice as pie. I have been there about 10 times. Vegetable egg foo young is loaded with big fresh veggies that are perfectly cooked ..... and NO baby corn. The veggie fried rice, same thing: big fresh veggies, perfectly cooked. The Szechuan dumplings are really flavorful and med. spicyness.... not too hot. The Szechuan beef is also very good. once or twice, it had a bit too many onions, but we'll let it slide because it's so consistently delicious. Finally, the price is right. These people do not gouge you. I love this place and will continue to go there every time I am in Venice. read more

I've picked up to-go and on-site dining. They have 5-6 tables and definitely not a date site but it is what it is...a table to enjoy your food. Food is typical Chinese strip store level, but that's what I was looking for. I'm a fried rice hot-sour soup kind of guy and they do a good job!! If you're looking for PF Changs, this is not it. But if you're looking for above average Chinese food, this is your spot. Family owned and very kind people...more of a reason to support them!! read more

Very unpleasant experience. Lemon Chicken was heavily breaded, overcooked and tough. The accompanying "Lemon Sauce " was heavy sugar syrup with a few lemons floating and did not add a lemon taste to the sauce. Past experience with their food had been very good. This was an extreme disappointment, and the food was basically not worth the money spent. If Lemon Chicken is not within your skill set, you should remove from menu. Restaurant food is too expensive to go to waste. read more

This is my go to lunch spot. I come here mainly for the shrimp mei fun. It's right in the Publix plaza few doors down from my job. Can be very busy during lunch and around 5pm mainly on Fridays. I waited an additional 15 minutes for my food that I ordered 10mins ago. Not cool. Anyways, food is reasonable price. Decent customer service. Seating area is usually clean. The chopsticks are not completely sealed. Same with the fork and spoons. As a germaphobe, it's not a good thing. Parking can be tricky sometimes. read more

We normally do take out. The food is excellent. Still is. I ordered the Honey chicken bowel with fried rice. Very good

Stop playing with China Taste man! They are the bomb. I get the same thing every time so the employees already know what I'm going to order and who I am. The honey chicken and pork fried rice meal is super delicious. I really like the fact that the honey chicken is not soggy and it's actually pretty crispy when I eat it. I have ate there more than 10 times I am sure of it lol read more

I like to order from this restaurant about once a week. The food is hot and fresh. I have not had any bad experiences and look forward to trying different entrees. The staff is friendly as well. I cannot say enough times, the food is fresh and the vegetables used are fantastic! I have lived in Venice since 1990 and I do believe they are the Best in Venice! read more

It's just okay. Not the best I've had, but like I said it's okay. Service was quick and priced well.

The crab rangoon was a big triangle with 1/2 teaspoon of filling? why? shrimp lo main noodles were a weird texture a bit 'grainy' a 1 inch piece of cabbage with 5 shrimp in a Qt size. The noodles stuck together in a clump with no sauce, it was dry, it had a weird taste and I didn't finish it. This is the worst chinese food I had in Venice!!! They had to have everything pre made and just heated it up as it was out in 3 minutes! STAY AWAY! read more

This is a great find for my husband Herb and I since moving to Venice a few months ago. The food is fresh,tasty and well prepared . We've had several of the chicken dishes, shrimp dishes, and roast pork and beef. All are tasty and servings are generous. The veggies are local and delicious, and abundant in several of the dishes we've sampled. Soups are great, also generous serving for your money. We've only done the takeout, but that has been excellent. Food is thoughtfully packed. I appreciate having this little gem of a restaurant nearby. read more

Always good and we go for takeout frequently Wish there was a bit more sauce on some of the dishes as Sometimes they are a big dry . However the chicken dishes are always fresh . read more

Been to this location a couple of times. Went there tonight and picked up two orders, chicken cashew, and broccoli chicken, both were horrible, both went in the trash, they were that bad. I should go back and return this for a refund but I know, they know, what they are doing. read more

Pretty good. I had General Tso's Chicken combo w/white rice and egg roll. Chicken had a decent flavor and was crispy (as it should be). I love my white rice and this was cooked to perfection. Broccoli could have been cooked a bit longer for my taste. Egg roll was pretty good if maybe cooked a bit too long. I was bummed when I realized that I had forgotten my packets of duck and soy sauces. I'm in town for 15 nights. I'm sure I'll be back before too long. read more

I placed an order today for pick up Roast Pork Lo Mein with chicken fried rice. I was very disappointed with the meal, the Lo Mein tasted funny and smelt funny, the chicken fried rice tasted stale. I have ordered the same lunch in the past and it was good, today it was so bad I had to throw it out. Waste of eleven dollars! read more

This was probably the worst chinese food that i have had the displeasure of having since moving to Venice, FL. not only was everything covered in a globby sauce but the food itself was tasteless and lacking in all areas. I am not sure how this restaurant rated a 4.7 but definitely - definitely not worth any price. please go elsewhere. read more

Very disapointed! I love the Chow Mei Fun, and this location instead of rice noodles use ANGEL HAIR regular pasta! I would not recomend as not GIVE what is advertised!. Flavor not the best. If you go down East Venice Avenue you will find a better china place to eat. and more options in size, etc Too bad! read more

Awesome honey chicken it's definitely a must have... good family owned restaurant that's local and has great service.. only a few sit in tables but you can eat in also read more

Picked up some crab Rangoon and the pork egg foo young combination plate. I thought the egg foo young was very good and will definitely order it again. The service was quick and friendly. I am sorry I waited so long to try. read more

Well the fried rice is brown instead of yellow but it's bland and no egg...all fried rice up north has egg but here no one puts egg in it amd the rice is typically yellow-never saw that until moving here. The pork and green beans really good large portions read more

Tasty and fresh food good variety. Highly recommend this spot for take out you won't be disappointed.

Disgusting service. Not only that but when i got my food I had a hair in one of my meals, and had a rat in the store. i will NOT be back. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

Not bad for neighborhood take out. Food is not 100% authentic but good enough. This is about as good as you're going to get in Venice, FL. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Fresh ingredients. Food taste was average. Could use more garlic. Each of our dishes tasted the same as if it was cooked with the same sauce. The Scallops and Beef were good but could use more garlic. Ma La Chicken was not authentic. It lacked the numbing and tingling of the Sichuan peppercorns which were absent in this dish. Also, it was very saucy and it tasted very similar to Scallops and Beef. Hawaii Five O was very good. Staff was very friendly. read more

Good portions, fast service. Food a little bland but Crab Rangoon very sweet. No fortune cookies!

We have been getting food from China Taste in Venice FL at the Jacaranda circle for many years. The food quality is very good and our friends from other SWFL area come to this store to get take out because they like the food from this restaurant more than the Chinese restaurants near them. read more

A friend suggested we try this place. The line was long to pickup on a Saturday night, so we thought that's a good sign. Ordered fried rice , egg rolls, and orange chicken. Fried rice was just regular white rice with a few peas and onions, and barely enough shreds of chicken to call it a serving. It was served in a divided 3 part styrofoam container which was odd. Very disappointed in this. Orange chicken was breaded and covered in sauce, but breading had all come off and was mush mixed with sauce. Again, idk what happened that night but was not good. We will continue at our favorite place which never uses MSG, Cantons. They are next to Lowe's. read more

I called in an order and was informed that the food would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived on time and ended up receiving my order 45 minutes after it was called in...the Crispy noodles were stale and the hoisin sauce for the Moo Shu was most inadequate for the order. Even though China Taste is the closest Chinese restaurant to my home I will not return. read more

Great egg rolls, Kung Pao Chicken, Chicken & broccoli and Lomein. All tasty and lives up to NE people standards. Will definitely order again. read more

The 5 stars is for the quality, quantity & taste of the food. They also are quick service considering that they prepare each meal when you order it. The place is clean, and they have a few tables, but there's no atmosphere to speak of. Most people order take-out. I especially recommend the lunch specials. You can't get lunch anywhere else as filling and reasonably priced as here, ($6.69 including tax - out the door)! The specials include entree, rice (fried or steamed), and either soup or an egg roll or a can of soda. My go-to place when I'm hungry. read more

China Taste Jac/Ven reason I enjoy coming down to the Jacaranda exit from Sarasota, I always try to stop there, the suit is search if you think it wouldn't be good but it's my favorite Chinese food offerings in an hour in any direction read more

I drive all the way from the south side of North Port to get food here. It's the best in the area. Really. The guy at the counter the other reviews are talking about as "surly" is the owner's kid...and he doesn't speak English very clearly. I don't go there to criticize them. I go there because it's good, it's fresh, and it's affordable. read more

This is the Chinese Restaurant that we have been using since it opened. The wait is longer than other Chinese restaurants in the area, but this place cooks the food to order. I prefer fresh food even if it means waiting a little longer. The portions are generous and well seasoned. One thing that really sets this place apart from the other Chinese restaurants in the area is this place takes the time to drain the fried foods properly - ensuring the food is crispy and not greasy. read more
