3.5 stars but rounding uo due to excellent customer service and good value with respect to the local competition. The Woodbridge area is not a hotbed for authentic Chinese cuisine so even though they offer some dishes that sound on paper to be less Chinese American like wonton noodle soup with roast pork (a Cantonese classic), it ended up being a mishmash of leftover stir fried veggies with lo mein noodles rather than the signature thin egg noodles and the wonton filling used a cheap cut of minced pork. The only saving grace was that the broth was not laden with MSG, which would have been expected to substitute for a well simmered broth. My advice is to stick with the Chinese American classics like lo mein, beef and broccoli, general Tao's chicken, etc since they execute them well and give two scoops of rice with a lunch special proving $7.95. I think they keep their costs down since it is curbside pickup without delivery or dine in, a consequence post-pandemic which they never decided to reverse. An excellent option if you want solid Chinese -American fare at below market price in the style of a drug deal pickup. read more

What went wrong? Everything, No kidding. I reviewed Good Taste Express' review of 4 and then its menu. Next, I drove there to find the door was locked, and I had to call in my order from outside. So, I ordered vegetable fried rice, Szechuan chicken, and a spring roll. I did not enjoy anything. The chicken was chewy, and its sauce was too salty. The vegetables and rice were not fresh; and the spring roll tasted like it was store bought and frozen. Sorry, I am just being honest. I am sure they had a good reason for locking their doors; and I respect this. However, they need to ask customers what type of condiments they want and not assume a hand full of soy sauce to the already salty food. read more

Stop acting like we are in COVID and let customers inside the restaurant. This waiting outside is getting old.

Food is ready promptly and generous portions! Wish store was more prominently displayed from roadway and possibly a standalone or on end of building since it is drive up only. read more

Stopped going here for about 8 months now. Quality lowered and no longer worth the price for me. Sorry, sad to see a good place go down.

Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was friendly and efficient. Will pull up again.

Based on the reviews I was excited to try something new. First of all. No DINE IN as of this review. Only take out. The prices are fair I feel for the amount of food. Crab ragoons were that great. Had a sautéed onion taste which was unique but not what I expected. Had the sweet and sour chicken. Sauce was on the side and very vinagre flavor. Chicken was breaded heavy and fried to much for my taste. Very few veggies. Fried rice was what kept this review dropping below a three. Wife had the general Tso chicken. The chicken was off the chart but the flavoring was bitter and lacked other flavors. You get a veggie roll with your meal which was nice. Probably won't go back. read more

Needed to grab dinner close by and wanted some Chinese food so we picked this place based off reviews and just general good things about it. Learned from their site that due to Covid that they downsized and don't do dine in or delivery, only curbside pickup. We called and they also let us know that since they're only doing curbside, they take payment over the phone as well as in person. We ordered General Tso's Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Egg Drop Soup, and Hot and Sour Soup and was told it would only take 15 minutes. We came and were a little confused about pickup since there were no specific signs to pull up to the front or a certain parking spot. I eventually walked up to the front door about to call when someone came out and handed me my order. Person that came out was super friendly though, I believe the same guy who took my order. The food was your typical takeout Chinese food. Really solid, no complaints. Looking like this might be my new go to Chinese spot in Woodbridge. We like that they are cautious and they make pretty good food too. read more

This is our go-to Chinese restaurant for takeout. We love the convenience of curbside pickup and the food is always amazing. This is one of the best places for Chinese food in Woodbridge. We've ordered many dishes, but we typically order Shrimp Fried Rice with Jumbo Shrimp, Singapore Rice Noodles, Triple Delight, Spring Rolls, and Kung Pao Chicken. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. read more

While there are a lot of Chinese food restaurants in the area, there aren't a lot of good ones... Good Taste Express is my favorite in this area!! The food is great and they use real ingredients (none of that rubbery fake chicken mess). I just wish they delivered.... read more

The amount of burnt, double fried French fries that were in this container was ridiculous. This is unacceptable. It was evident those fries were old & refried before they were put into the container. I won't be eating here again. read more

Good Taste Express - burnt, double fried French fries - Chinese Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

The food is always just right and very generous compared to others, and the service is top notch.

I've been reading all the positive reviews regarding Good Taste and figured I would check them out. The young man who took my order was polite and courteous. The food was ready shortly after and was fresh and flavorful. However the fried wontons I had weren't great and the sauce on the shrimp and broccoli was a bit thick. read more

Good Taste Express - Shrimp w/ - Chinese Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Without a doubt, the best Chinese restaurant on the east end of Prince William County. Family owned and operated by a Chinese family who prepare the food and take pride in the food they serve to their loyal customers. Food is always fresh and pricing is competitive with other restaurants in the area. Mainly takeout but limited seating is available . They have beautiful pictures of China Town in DC which are obviously taken by a professional photographer. Such a beautiful setting for those dining inside the restaurant. read more

I have had many experiences trying out Chinese restaurant in Lorton, Woodbridge & Dumfries. My order typically would be the same, Lo Mein and Fried Rice. I barely order anything else because I'm have never had it right if I order other than rice & noodle lol ; my 5 stars review is not for all the food in the menu, they are for the Fried Rice and Lo Mein :) This place has the most legit Lo Mein & Fried Rice flavor in the PWC. I've tried Chinese restaurant from Rt 1 to Dumfries to Montclair even few in Fairfax. I didn't expect their fried rice is to be 8 out 10 compare to what I had from many places in PWC. Yes many, in Rt.1 alone you know how many Chinese restaurant are there lol . The texture is exactly how fried rice should look. Not mushy and sticky and not too greasy. Just right. I wish I found this gem long time ago. Now that I'm moving from the area, I'm gonna miss their Fried Rice & Lo Mein :) Regarding to C19 precautions, they are also taking it seriously. No customers can enter the restaurant. I prefer that, it means, safety for everybody. Feeling safe when eat the food too. read more

Despite the posted hours saying they are open and the illuminated 'open' sign being on, the windows are covered in opaque plastic bags, the doors are locked, power off and no one in sight, and you are supposed to 'call to order'. Maybe tape a menu to the window of you are going to barricade yourself inside? read more

It's ok. Not great. Had combination fried rice. Shrimp spring roll. Spring roll was very good. The shrimp were small and few. Like maybe 5. Beef were slices of beef. No pork at all. The chicken is white meat, generously added. Has plenty of soy sauce. Well cooked. Taste is ok. Edible. But not worth a special trip. read more

The food has so much flavor here so we keep coming back. The only recommendation we have is to add a few more dumplings and some substance to the wonton soup. Although you can't dine in and the pickup routine takes a hot minute to get used to, they always get the order right, and it's on time. read more

Fast, courteous service and good prices. One of the best Anerican-Chinese takeout places in the area (I've tried a lot and most aren't great compared to options in other parts of Northern VA). Nice, inexpensive but filling lunch combo options. Fried rice, Beef & Broccoli, Dingapore Rice Noodles, & egg rolls were good. Dumplings are not bad but a bit small. Crab rangoons were overly fried. read more

We love Good Taste Express Chinese at 13564 Minnieville Road in Woodbridge! The whole family that owns and runs this place is just a great group of incredible people.  They are so friendly, so genuine, so helpful, and somehow always remembers our order just by the sound of our voice on the phone. Everything they serve here is delicious.  They really do it all right.  From noodles, to soups, to some of the traditional American Chinese dishes, everything is truly superb here. They provide a nice dining area if you want to relax and enjoy the meal, the provide carryout, and also delivery in the immediate Woodbridge area. We visit Good Taste Express Chinese at least once every couple of weeks.  They so far are the best Carry Out Chinese in Woodbridge we have found.  Love Them! read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable as well as the portions. I highly recommend their Singapore noodles read more

This is take out; service was fast and efficient. The food was okay I got the king pao chicken and fried rice.

I've ordered here 3times and I can easily say that I'm never disappointed. They have food on the menu that other carryout places in Woodbridge do not have such as salt and pepper squid that I was missing and love. Also, their delivery is very fast. I'm giving 4.5 instead of 5 because the Shredded beef is not really Shredded. The carrots and celery are a little bit too long. The noodle soups doesn't have too much noodles if sharing with the whole family of 4 but it has a lot of toppings which is excellent. Another thing I love in here is the pan fried noodles. The house one has beef, chicken and shrimp. It is delicious. The pad Thai has a lot of shrimp and also a big plus. Thank you for the pan fried noodle and the squid! :) read more

It is so much better than it looks on the outside. My husband and I have become regulars and the food is always good, hot, and generously portioned. Best Chinese food I've had in forever!! read more

Only place my wife will go for quick Chinese food. We really enjoy the sweet and sour chicken!

They don't have dine in and they don't deliver. One order they gave us the wrong food but we didn't realize it until we got home and didn't want to have to go out again. I called. The lady said, "You say Hunan chicken!" We have never ordered that so I insisted. She offered to comp us on the next order. Two weeks later we ordered again. We were 20 minutes early and they told us that. We said ok and just sat in our cars. We didn't say anything else. When the lady came out, she literally started yelling at us. "I don't make General Tso's Tofu no more! Too much work. I say 45 minutes. We busy. You rush! You no hurry, I make. No more General Tso's tofu. You hurry too much!" She repeated these phrases 6 times. We didn't hurry. Yes, we were early, but we also waited quietly. As a customer, I've never been berated by the person handing me the food before. So unprofessional! read more

Best Chinese in Woodbridge! I'm just bummed it took me 6 years to find it. The fried rice is some of the best I've ever had.

Phone order was easily placed, they brought it out curbside when we arrived. Returned home and the food was still warm and well packaged in a mix of the standard containers, plastic bowls, and styrofoam boxes. Price was fair. While the food was good, other reviews and claims of being the "best" in Northern VA set expectations high. Perhaps those reviews set the bar too high as I was expecting fresher components in my beef/broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, dumplings and lo mein. There was the slightest tinge of a metallic taste to all the dishes as well. I'll try a few other places in the coming weeks and circle back. read more

Pretty good general tso chicken! Nice size portion and very tasty. Drive up and curb side delivery only so you have to call and order ahead but it is well worth a try in the Woodbridge area! read more

Called in an order of Shrimp fried rice on 4-8-20...Picked up my order at the curb with no problems. This was my second purchase there with the first one about 2 years ago. I can't express how disappointed l was with my order which was a simple one. First of all my order was missing the bits of onions that usually accompany an order of chinese food. Secondly my shrimp were either over cooked or reheated as they were borderline chewy and dry... They also LACKED any flavor that usually accompanies an order of shrimp if you are familiar with those dishes. I can understand with doing carryout only at this time and you can cook fried rice ahead and keep fairly moist but you can't do this with shrimp..... besides, how long does it take to cook shrimp direct from a refrigerator? I was truly disappointed but had no choice of chinese carryout as my regular one, located on Minnieville Rd. At Dale Blvd was not a swearing their phone so l assumed they were closed, which surprised me...Oh well! read more

Best Chinese food in the area!!!! Fried rice is flavorful and not greasy! Fast and pleasant service! My go to spot!!!

Friendly staff, easy pick up, and delicious food at a fair price. I order almost weekly!

Good Taste Express is amazing! I ordered for the first time a few months ago - I was astounded. Quality, taste, value - Good Taste exceeded my expectations. I had not ordered Chinese as a number of bad experiences with other places turned me off. I have ordered a number of times from Good Taste since my first experience. Has not disappointed! Very consistent. The only complaints - I received white rice instead of the fried rice & they did not have Orange beef available. Minor & expected occurrences with a pheonominal eatery. Love love love Good Taste! Highly recommend! read more

What a fantastic place! Very unassuming place when you're on the road but when coming in, this place has some very good food! I had the chicken with vegetables, fried rice, egg roll and the wonton soup. I will be definitely be coming back to this spot! read more

With a name like Good Taste Express, Good Taste is tasting good. In just a few short weeks it has become my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Quite literally a Mom and Pop, Mom takes your order and Pops drops it off. The menu is a bit smaller then most of the other restaurants in the area, but that's why I wanted to try it. Smaller menu means better focus. So what have I tried: General Tso Chicken - a really good version, won't say it's the best I've ever had, but it is up there. Beef on a stick - now this is the best version I've had. The lemongrass flavor comes through and tender as can be. Egg Drop Soup - very solid version of a classic. Chef's Special Chicken - this is the bomb, very similar to General Tsos or Orange Chicken, yet much mo' better. Lo Mein - again a common dish, but Good Tastes version is my favorite, just tastes a step above like most of their dishes. Not only has everything I've tried been delicious but the portions are huge! Yes portions from Chinese restaurants are huge...but from Good Taste they give you what you order. When you order General Tso you get General Tso, not broccoli and a few pieces of chicken. No here you get chicken with a few pieces of broccoli. The Lo Mein alone could probably feed me for 3 to 4 meals. All in all support this place. Only thing bumming me out is that they have a beef stew with thick noodle on the menu that I have not been able to try. Never seen that on a Chinese menu before! Hope they get the ingredients soon. read more

So amazing and fresh. Great Chinese food, will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area again

Very good Chinese food for the price! $23 for a large rice, chicken on a stick and a general tsos combination!

Best Chinese food in Woodbridge by far. The chicken and broccoli is out of this world and I can't wait to try the entire menu.
