Food was good, but they didn't give us any rice. Receipt said white rice, but there wasn't any in the bag. Next time I'll check the bag more thoroughly when I pick up my order. read more

China Taste - No rice. Orange chicken, hunan pork and shrimp chow mein. - Chinese Near Me - Yarmouth, Maine

So, I often don't say "wow" after my Chinese food dinners but, wow. First of all, the portions are ginormous...please note that (6) appetizers is far too much for two people. Second, the batter is just about as good as I can remember in all my years of eating Chinese food. Alot of breading, which I like, and fried to perfection. Check out the picture...their fried shrimp is top/left...the size of your hand. That brings me to the frying... Finally, all of the apps that were fried were perfect...crispiness, color, flavor..I think this is the distinguishing character among fried chicken tenders. A great example of this would be their fried donuts. All I can say is, wow. read more

China Taste - I mean, zoom in on the fried shrimp (top left) - Chinese Near Me - Yarmouth, Maine

I don't understand the negative reviews. I really like this place. I got the lunch special sesame chicken which was less than $10. It came with broccoli, crab rangoon, pork fried rice and egg drop soup. Everything was excellent. Much better than what you'd expect for a little Chinese take away joint. It was also a lot of food. It was enough for two full meals for me. I definitely will be returning. read more

I ordered chicken fried rice with extra veggies. after a few bites I was curious what veggie was having a strange texture. I picked up a white item and broke it in half. it was chicken and it was totally pink inside! Every piece was uncooked! I threw it out. I was too busy to contact the restaurant. the staff was nice though. read more

I've grown up eating Chinese from this location. I usually go for the orange chicken and crab Rangoon which are alwayssss very delicious. The family is always very friendly and are quick to action. The only complaint is that the chicken used in items such as fried rice and the curry chicken was extremely rubbery so much so I believed it was squid or some sort of fish initially. I definitely recommend this place for the area but be weary about those chicken dishes! read more

I was hesitant about trying out this restaurant based upon very positive and very negative reviews on Yelp and Google. The pan fried pork dumplings were pretty tasty (it meets expectations for Americanized Chinese food). However, the scallion pancakes were too hard and had barely any scallions in them. China Taste seems like a hit-or-miss for takeout. read more

China Taste - Pan fried dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Yarmouth, Maine

See all

We have been getting take out at China Taste for years! And that is simply because no other take out compares!!! We have sampled ALL other local places. Where as one other location does have a certain specialty we enjoy, I prefer the spot on Crab Rangoon-never too greasy, General Tsao's has the perfect crisp coat with irresistible flavor. Love their steamed dumplings-my brother-in-law drives from Windham once a week because he can't resist them. Here's a food tip from a local and Airbnb Superhost--get your Chinese food fix on HERE!! read more

Chicken was raw. Noodles greasy. Very overpriced for poor quality food!

First off this place has been in Yarmouth forever and one bad review is not going to stop anyone from eating there. Second off the owners are super friendly and so my apologies for saying this is the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Pork fried rice is FULL of raw onions, carrots, and the lunch portion came with a tsp of greasy pork. Broccoli chicken was 80 % broccoli. In my grandmother's words when I asked about her VEG low mein: "it's just noodles, broccoli, and raw white onions" The crab rangoons are phenomenal!!!! read more

This is perhaps the worst Chinese restaurant that I have ever eaten in. I ordered the pupu plater for one. First what was good the bar-b-que pork ribs were tasty although the were chopped up so small that they could have been added to fried rice. The teriyaki beef was tasteless as was the chicken wing. The shrimp and chicken fingers had the worst thick coating that I have ever experienced in my life. The egg roll was crispy on the ends but the filling was unidentifiable. The two fried wontons were ok. I wouldn't have awarded a single star had it been possible. I certainly won't be coming back read more

Food was hot, and OK. Restaurant serves food and drinks in styrofoam plates and cups. Had to ask for sugar. Only soy sauce on tables. Good quantity. Food a bit salty. Not bad, but nothing special either. read more

Best Chinese food in the state! Order the Sesame chicken every time and it never disappoints! Run by AMAZING people, excellent service! Great prices - I will never stop coming here. read more

My husband and I recently located from NYC and we think this is the best Chinese food in the area, by far. We got the wonton soup, egg rolls, sesame chicken, and pork fried rice and we loved it all! read more

Not sure how this place has such bad reviews. I loved it! The General Tso was crispy, sweet and perfect. The egg role was juicy and crisp. The fried rice... perfect. And the workers were friendly and quick. Plus, the portions were huge. I had enough for three meals. It doesn't get better! read more

I hate giving local places a lukewarm rating but I can't give it anything else. It was very salty, very greasy, my husband ordered the Sesame Beef and said it was OK, I ordered the Moo Shu it was just OK, we had an order of the House Fried Rice which I think was the worst we had ever had with a peculiar order and color. Our normally favorite Hot and Sour Soup anywhere else.. was awful...just swimming in grease. Other than this lukewarm recommendation, the preparer was friendly, speedy. The food she packed up for us could have served a family of six (we are in our seventies now and eat less.) This is a walk up and order at the counter or a call in. If you pick up and have to drive over a mile take a carrier that will preserve some heat, we live two miles and had to reheat everything. My husband picked this up so I don't know if they had any tables. The main dishes would have been better if they were hot..hot. read more

The restaurant was very clean. The service was quick and courteous and it was great to be able to watch my food being prepared. I received my food faster than I might at a drive through window. The menu above the counter was limited but there were more selections inside of their paper menu. I ordered the spring rolls and a small order of chicken fried rice. The spring rolls were exceptional. The chicken fried rice was okay, but the chicken was a little on the fatty side. All in all a better choice than the local fast food places. read more

China Taste - Chicken fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Yarmouth, Maine

Don't! Soup is gluey, has a strange color. Chicken wing was rock hard and tasted of stale oil. Pork was tasteless. Old rice. Just bad food. A perfect fit with Dunkin Donuts next door. Instead, go around to Little China Express on Rt. 1 for fresh food, well seasoned by lovely people who know how to cook. read more

Can't believe there are not more reviews! Really good food here, well prepped and hot!! Delicious and worth the stop for sure. Thank you China Taste! read more

Not sure what's going on here but I do know it's not even up to standard quality. Chicken tasted bad and was very chewy. Sauces had a strange aftertaste. Even the fortune cookies were stale and soft (have to say that was a first for me). Prices were low though, and the Lo Mein was decent. I'm hoping the quality turns around as it seems to be one of only two Chinese take outs in Yarmouth. read more

Bad. Very bad. Fried rice is neon yellow, taste is awful. Crab Ragoons were dripping in oil and soggy, lo mein was nasty and tasted very bad & we found hair in it. Never again! Should have listened to the neighbors, they said it was not good, and China Rose in Freeport was worth the drive. I don't understand how China Taste stays open. The local joke is "China Taste Nasty". read more

I didn't have a good feeling about this place when I 1st arrived. Starting with zero cars in the parking lot at primetime dinner time; to the little kid working the counter. I ordered the sweet & sour chicken and what it basically was was a small piece of chicken covered in a thick batter dripping with grease and no flavor. Absolutely the worst chinese I have ever eaten. And what's up with the yellow pork "fried rice" which pretty much had zero pork in it? Never again! read more

Take out order. Surprisingly good overall with extra star for fresh veggies. Accommodated a couple special requests (brown rice in fried rice, no mushrooms). NO SPICY MUSTARD to go with egg rolls! Aargh! Off with a star. Will be back. read more

This is your classic inexpensive Chinese takeout. In that genre it's good. Plenty of food. Everything doesn't taste the same. Yes, they have unusual yellow fried rice, positional just means there is saffron or something similar. Family owned and operated. Very very nice people. 3 tables too. Very clean. I'll be back. read more

Better than average NY style Chinese fast takeout. Dime a dozen in NY or Boston but hard to find in Maine. Again, nothing special but closer to what you'll find in other east coast cities compared to here in Maine. read more

I love that this place has been around so long, and I would like to remain loyal, but I can't accept their fried rice! :( It's saffron yellow rice with mixed vegetables in it, and then protein if you wish...not good! Everything else we have had their has been fine, we always order vegetarian and get the lo mein and general tso's tofu. The service is great, the wonderful woman who works up front is so sweet! Make better fried rice and I'll come back! read more

Went to get some take out from there today with my husband who is from the area and has had good experiences. Got our food home and found a cigarette butt in the food. When I called to complain, the woman had no idea what I was saying. She didn't know what cigarette was and could offer no apology. She asked for my phone number to call me back and I never received a call. This is disgusting and an extreme health hazard if I had actually consumed the filter. read more

Avoid. Worst Chinese food and service we've ever experienced. Not recommended by townies or visitors. Poor quality food, bad tastes, unfriendly service. It's a shame this place on Main St is not better. read more

First and foremost you have to beg and plead for the duck sauce that goes with the appetizers. If this applesauce based item is that coveted to the owners, bump up the prices .25 and stop giving people a hard time about getting some when they order a slew of dippable appetizers. Other than that..unfortunately if there was another place in town we would go there but it's the only game so I guess we have to play it. read more

I've been here dozens of times and always enjoyed the food. Their teriyaki beef sticks are so juicy and delicious! It's true that the food comes in styrofoam containers and the dining area lacks atmosphere (they mostly do take-out) but the food is always tasty and plentiful and the prices are right for a budget-minded family. Plus, the woman at the counter (I think her name is Jenny) is super friendly. read more
