For once, a Chinese takeout restaurant is aptly named. When my family and I crave Chinese takeout, this is our go-to spot. Not only do they churn out large takeout orders in good time (our orders are typically quite large, and we've never had an issue in the thirty or so times we've ordered in the past), but it's always hot, well-seasoned, and well-prepared. Our orders typically include a 'something-and-broccoli' dish, and they always manage to cook the broccoli to perfect tenderness. I'll also add that this is the only takeout place (ever) where I've actually liked the sesame chicken. In most places, it's either too sweet, mushy, or overly sauced; here, it's dependably delicious. We especially love the combination plates on the menu, which offers certain entrees with a choice of fried rice or lo mein and a side of egg rolls. read more

We've eaten here a few times, and remembered the food as pretty good. So we decided on this place for our take out. This time, because soup was one of the things we needed, we tried their wonton soup. First, it was barely lukewarm, and we are literally 5 minutes away. The wontons were the thickest, hardest, chewiest wontons we have ever encountered. Let me preface this by saying we've both been eating all different versions of Chinese food for 40+ years. The wontons were terrible. There is no other way to put it. We also ordered shrimp with snow peas. I am sure it would have been better than the wonton soup if that's what we actually had received. They gave us beef with snow peas instead. By now, we are just happy to have the decent roast pork lo mein that we actually ordered and received. I think we're done. There are so many other decent Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

I hate giving a small local business a bad review, but well, in my opinion, the food wasn't great. I ordered chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings and chicken wings. The wings had flavor, but I could not finish them. When I took a bite, they had a yellow tinge to them. I'm not sure if it was fat, but it turned me off in a big way. The steamed dumplings were not good. At all! I could not tell what type of meat it was. But It didn't taste good. It also didn't smell good. I couldn't eat it. The chicken and broccoli tasted good, the portion was very small/sparse. Overall $23 down the drain. I definitely will not return. I have a favorite Chinese place in Parsippany, but I wanted to find something closer to Madison. My favorite place is more of a restaurant with some authentic Chinese food and dim sum. However, I don't always feel like taking the drive. I have one other local place to try out in Madison. If it doesn't work out. Then I'll have to travel 20 minutes for my occasional fix. read more

Very reliable local Chinese takeout spot. Food is always hot and good, but not amazing. Turn around times are super fast, I live 1 mile away and I can practically jump in the car after ordering and it will be ready. read more

OK so here's the story.....they need to improve on some things. The fried rice is good. The egg rolls were nice and fresh. Good start right? Well the dumplings are to doughy and mushy as was the general tso chicken. The kung pow chicken was dried out and over cooked but the flavors were good. I have no been able to find any good Chinese food for delivery in Chatham, Madison, Summit or New Providence This place has potential if the took a little more care in the end product. read more

Terrible. Absolutely horrible. Overpriced, they short you on the protein in your dish and fill it with broccoli, and when called out on it, the "management," i.e., the loud, obnoxious lady who always works the register, screams at her customers, calls them liars, and says that she "doesn't need your business." Maybe she should put that hateful energy towards being a mother to her little boy instead, who is clearly not of legal working age and is consistently put to work at her establishment. She's probably right. The business won't suffer because the rich in Chatham will still be loyal to Good Taste, but it's a disgrace. Save your time and money and order from one of the million other places in the area. read more

Good Taste Chinese Restaurant - All broccoli. Total crap. - Chinese Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

I just moved to Chatham and I am very fussy about Chinese food and this was spot on. Delicious, delicious .. so happy and the first place I tried in the area and score !!!! Ordered 2 times this week already .. try it .. you won't regret it .. read more

Really happy with them! It's hard to hit the nail on the head when it comes to Chinese Food but I love this place. They deliver late and have an amazingEgg Roll, Pork Fried Rice and BBQ Ribs. I haven't tried more than that so far but to me that's the marker of a good spot. And they deliver to Madison and they are located in Chatham. Try them out :) read more

Super tasty Christmas Eve meal from Good Taste! I tried the wonton soup, shrimp with mixed vegetables, and sesame beef and everything was wonderful. A family member had General Tso's chicken and egg rolls and gave a thumbs up to both. The wontons were tender and meaty in a delicious, non greasy broth. Would absolutely order this again. I'm so surprised at how tender the shrimp was. You know how take out shrimp can be rubbery? Not the case here. And there were so many veggies. Yay. Would absolutely get shrimp here again. The sesame beef was very good too with some broccoli on the bottom. I forgot the meat in this dish is heavily fried so this wasn't the best thing to eat pre-holiday meal, hah. But it didn't sit in my stomach the way greasy food sometimes can. Oh also, the spice was very mild so next time I might ask for spicy when I order and see what happens. I didn't give five stars because I like to eat at restaurants a couple times before giving a five. But will definitely order from here again next time we want Chinese. read more

I've been going to good taste for several years the food has been very average/ adequate and sometimes not very good but tonight was the worst experience ever. . Tonight I came home from vacation exhausted. I ordered the spare ribs on the bone . They came totally burnt overloaded with sauce with old shriveled meat. I called nicely to tell the owner and he started scresming at me. I am horrified by his behavior. The meat also tasted bad there was hardly any meat on the bone and it was totally burnt. I am now shaking from the way the owner screamed at me I would never ever go to that restaurant and I recommend you don't either I wanted to select no star , but this application would not let me. if I could give them a negative 10 star rating I would read more

Ok 5 stars for a take-out meal may seem silly but this is my new go-to Chinese Take-Out place. We had tried it a year or so ago and recently came back when I was in the mood for hot and sour soup when coming down with a cold. The past few months, the food has really improved in quality. Yes, we still order the fried General Tsos Chicken (we are not trying the most modern culinary trends hehe)but the chicken is all white meat, the broccoli is fresh and the fried rice not too greasy. They are fast, like super fast. Order ten minutes before you will be there so it's hot and ready for you! They deliver quickly too! I really like their hot and sour soup. My husband likes their egg rolls and we usually do the combination plates. Great for takeout/quick delivery! read more

My family has been ordering food from here for 10+ years. Occasionally we will go to Empire Szechuan, which we also like, but Good Taste is always awesome and fast. I'm not entirely sure what these other reviewers are talking about... This has consistently been the best Chinese I've ever had in the Chatham area. It's always cooked well, the meat is tender and delicious, the sauces are flavorful, and the service is great. One day they forgot to give me my beloved dumplings (they have never forgotten anything before). We called them up to ask if we could come get them, and they were immediately apologetic and insisted on driving out to our house (on the entirely opposite side of Chatham) to bring us that single dish. And the dumplings were good, too! This place is just for take-out, so don't go in expecting to have a sit-down meal. You can also help yourself to sauces and tea bags, which is a little thing that makes me happy. read more

Very disappointed, have been ordering for a few years ! Only take business! For is good ! Stay basic ! I order the other night 8:30 simple dishes ! Terrible! The ribs burnt ! House special rice awful thrown together with whAtever was left over ! Hot & soup was crushed with a quart of rice ! The plastic melted into the soup ! Garbage ! Actually the $52 meal went in the garbage Called this morning to tell them ! Said bring the food in ! It's in the garbage ! Ok then we can't help You ! Small local business!!! Never again ! Nightmares about the food ! read more

It's not gourmet but the food is good for delivery or take out-- I've been ordering from them since my college days. The service is fast and efficient; I've never placed an order and had it get mixed up. The food isn't overly greasy or MSG saturated. I personally like their cold sesame noodles and sesame chicken. Their delivery range is fairly wide-- I've had it delivered in Madison, Morris Township and Florham Park. It's very good at what it is-- and it's a 'fast food' Chinese 'restaurant'. read more

Ufff.. horrible food.. the review i read from another user said value for money.... i was not painting a great picture for the price, but food was probably the worst chinese i have ever had. Oil dripping from the egg roll.. tasteless chicken and soggy rice.. and i am not even exaggerating read more

Exactly what you'd expect from a hole in the wall Chinese joint. The staff wants you to take your food quickly and leave, but the food comes out fast and it's good food. read more

Awesome. This place made my night. Exactly what I was looking for. 10/10. Food was delicious and on top of that it was priced right. Entree with a roll and pork fried rice? Nobody does that anymore. Old school stuff right there. Nowadays you gotta pay $8.95 for a separate order of 8 pounds of pork fried rice. For $11 I got General TSO, egg roll and pork fried rice!!!!!!! Most other local Chinese places charge $8 for wonton. This place? $2.95 for a small. Can't beat it. read more

I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for a long time, this just hit the spot. I had the egg roll, beef Lo mein and pork fried rice. I'm so happy right now. read more

Okay if you don't mind steamed dumplings that are made super thick and gummy, bland and flavorless, having your order changed with something of equal value because they didn't want to make what you ordered and entree sauces made with water, lots of cornstarch and artificial food coloring. Just awful...even the white rice was tasteless and felt bits of hard plastic. The fried dumplings were fried large amounts of dough with a teaspoon of filling. Food arrived extremely fast though...which is proof that nothing is fresh here....just reheated and refried slop. If you crave fortune cookies this place is okay, if you crave decent Chinese food then this place will disappoint. read more

The food is delicious. Never been disappointed. Their delivery is always prompt and on time. The lo mein is excellent. Gen. Tso's combo can't be beat. Wanton and egg drop soups are the best. read more

I have been eating there since the opening in 1994. That being said not only is the restaurant very clean and Service is excellent being a former food service director at Ramapo College the food is outstanding and not only fresh made to order the RIBS are out of this word. Even when my family moved a few towns away I would take the drive twice a week just to eat from GOOD TASTE!!!!! read more

We love this Chinese restaurant - we started picking up food from this restaurant since we've been sheltered in place, as the few open ones in Morristown were lacking in quality and flavor. All dishes taste freshly cooked, ribs are meaty and very flavorful, chicken and beef are not rubbery, lots of distinctive flavors and sauces - lots of reasons to return to this restaurant every few weeks! This is now my family of six's favorite Chinese takeout! read more

The worst Chinese restaurant I have ever tried. The food is terrible and the staff is extremely rude.

It's kind of funny giving five stars to a Chinese take-out place, but Good Taste is just about as good as Chinese take-out can get. It's definitely the best Chinese take-out in the Chatham/Madison area. The prices are a bit high but really only like $.50 more than some other places. Some favorites: the wonton soup comes with five wontons in a pint and the broth is always nice and flavorful. The shrimp here are always good, my favorite is shrimp with garlic sauce. The sauces too are very good. There is always a little oil but it's not bad compared to other places. The pork fried rice is also great, it's always got LOTS of pork and vegetable bits and has a nice fried taste, not just yellow rice like some places serve. The other awesome thing is the waiting time is crazy short. I can order an entire meal for take-out, soup, fried rice, and a pint of something, and it is often ready in 10 minutes or less. Literally if you walk around the strip mall while waiting it will just about be ready. read more

They deliver fast and have amazing cheese wontons and delicious wonton soup, but their beef lo mein is super greasy. This place is only really good for a snack. read more

This is our local Chinese takeout after sampling a bunch of different ones in Morristown. Yes, you pay slightly more, but the food is better. After trying many things, the best dishes are shrimp with broccoli with white sauce, shrimp mei fun, and chicken lo mein. The dumplings are also good and they also make homemade mustard which is better than the bright yellow stuff you typically get. read more

naysayers here are nits! this place is the best chinese in morris county. great egg foo yung, super wonton soup, tasty egg rolls and super pepper steak. they even deliver in snow storms! great prices. its a kitchen service so dont plan on eating there. always polite too. read more

Ordered delivery from here and I am in the next town. The food arrived very fast and was still very hot. Had the shrimp with lobster sauce combo platter with pork fried rice and a hot and sour soup. The food was very good. The shrimp were very good size, 5 large shrimp. The hot n sour soup wasn't watery, which I like, and good spice. The egg roll was tasty and crispy but not over cooked. I will order from here again. read more

I called on the phone to pick up an order for four people and I explained to her that I had four different orders on the phone and then when I arrived she wouldn't let me use more than one card didn't give me and utensils and then just yelled in a different language until I left after paying. read more

It's good, reliable Chinese fast food. Lunch specials are good. It's not the place to go for a fancy dinner, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do. read more

everything I order is good! they deliver locally and the fried rice house special is superb! Great spring rolls and generous portions.

For what it is, it's fine. It's a Chinese-American takeout place. I'd say it's slightly above average and the people who run it are fairly nice. To just give you an idea, I live within walking distance of Madison Wok and I come here for my greasy spoon Chinese takeout. Why? Madison Wok is gross and the guy who owns/runs the place is mean. I wish someone would fill the gap of an authentic Chinese place that has decent prices in the Madison/Chatham area. We got enough sushi and Thai. read more

I've been ordering from Good Taste for years and never had a problem. The prices are reasonable, their delivery is fast, and the food is good. I've ordered with large groups of people and no one has ever had a complaint. Would definitely recommend read more

This is probably the best Chinese takeout that you can get for your money in Chatham. Food is always delivered hot and tastes good. They have good sized portions and I really love their chicken and broccoli and combination platters are also a good deal. read more

Great hole in the wall Chinese. I always get delivery. Very consistent. Very fast. Chicken is always tender. Even when fried.

Below average Chinese take out. I placed a take out order. When I arrived to pick it up, the inside of the restaurant had no heat on and was bitter cold. Furthermore, the lady that rang up the order had an uncontrollable hacking cough. Would not recommend. read more

The worst service ever, they were rude, and when ordering on the phone, the woman actually hung up on us because she couldn't understand anything. Save yourself from this. read more

We've been ordering takeout from here for many years. Quick service and food is pretty above par for a Chinese Takeout Restaurant. However, price is a little expensive for the food they are serving. Overall, I am very pleased with this restaurant. read more

I love the food and the name. Mongolian Beef is the way to go. Happy to have this interesting little place around.
