    I recently tried a different Chinese restaurant a few blocks east of Great Taste (also on North Ave), so having that experience fresh in my mind, I decided to give Great Taste a try and compare the two. I didn't have as much time on my hands for a full meal like I did with the other restaurant, so I just ordered a pair of house egg rolls (pork and shrimp) to go. I regret that it's taken me so long to try Great Taste. In this area of Milwaukee/Wauwatosa I usually use China East's egg roll as the gold standard for comparison. The house egg roll from Great Taste is just as good as China East's and I could reasonably be convinced that it's better. For sure, it's far better than the egg rolls from the other restaurant on North Ave. The filling may be heavy on cabbage, but it's absolutely freshly made with no hint of store bought quality. I found multiple pieces of pork and shrimp in each egg roll, which impressed me because shrimp tends to get skimped on when it's not the only protein in an egg roll. They're a little pricier than others at $2.50 each as of 1/26/23, but I'd rather pay more for a better egg roll than settle for a lesser, cheaper one. I'm also impressed that the menu lists out the ingredients for items like the lo mein. Most Chinese restaurants will simply say "soft noodles" or something like that under the lo mein header. I appreciate knowing all of the ingredients in advance so I'm prepared and informed when I place my next order. The menu has multiple items on it that interest me, so I look forward to stopping again soon.

    Little to NO filling and it's awful

    This place sucks. Got DoorDash from Here for my birthday today and it's so mediocre. I didn't even get utensils. Everything is about money and not quality like. Ugh. I hate that I wasted my money on this raggedy place.

    Chicken fried rice

    I stopped here for lunch not expecting much because most Chinese food is average with the tiny egg roll with mush on the inside. The place has tables and chairs but it's not set up so it looks like take out and it was dead which had me thinking I picked the wrong place for lunch. I ordered the Mongolian beef combination plate with an egg roll and chicken fried rice. The bag was kinda weighty so that was a good sign. WOW the house egg roll was a beautiful full sized one with pork and shrimp. The egg roll was nice and crispy with fresh crispy cabbage and good flavor, way better than most places because it wasn't soggy frozen crap. The chicken fried rice had lots of big chunks of chicken and probably the most chicken in a fried rice combination plate. The rice also had good flavor like a char flavor from a seasoned wok. The Mongolian beef had tender beef with that sweetness and flavorful also. Overall this Chinese restaurant was very good and better than expected/average and I would definitely go back again just for the egg rolls.

    Shrimp fried rice and veggie eggroll

    MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Everything on the menu is amazing, but I love to get the shrimp fried rice with the veggie egg rolls as a staple. It reminds me of my favorite Chinese restaurant growing up by Detroit! They are always the nicest and really brighten my day just talking on the phone to order. It's hard to find good egg rolls around Milwaukee, so I drive from downtown to tosa just to get takeout at Great Taste! Thanks for being wonderful :)

Plenty of space for parking in the back. Dark, smoky atmosphere with Asian interior designs. Perfect ambiance for BBQ! We had both Korean BBQ & hot pot, absolutely worth the price for both. The BBQ was by far everyone's favorite. We recommend the beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and pork belly--these were the best for BBQ. Since it was all you can eat, we had a few servings of them. There was also a counter for different types of sauce one could get and a dessert section. The hot pot was great as well. We recommend the bone broth and the fish/shrimp/meatballs with it as well as udon noodles. The service was great overall. Our server was busy, but she managed to be attentive with us.

We ordered the bulgogi, steak cubes, pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef tongue, rib meat, shrimp, creamy corn, fried buns, and a few other smaller items. The meat was all good quality! Our tables' favorite meat was the bulgogi for sure. We also loved the creamy corn and fried buns. However, beef tongue was so tough though I couldn't even bite into it (but honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it!). The sauce bar was a fun touch to get exactly what we each liked. It was a little tricky being in a booth and getting people out to make their sauce combos though but we made it work. There is also a dessert bar but nothing was super intriguing to us and we were pretty full from the meal. The only downside was the service. Other servers seemed awesome but our waitress was totally aloof. She missed multiple orders of ours and we had to reorder those, and she acted super confused each time we had to tell her. She didn't give any direction on the process, and each time we wanted to add to the order we had to wave her down. I don't think she proactively checked on us once. A table nearby had the hotpot and that looked really good. We were intrigued and want to come back and try it. All in all, a great experience, and $31 per person for the amount of food you can rack up felt like a really good deal.

The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup.

We popped in for a late lunch after craving something new. I had Laojiu in my bookmarks and it was on the way to where we were headed later, so perfect! It's not a huge restaurant, but there's several large tables and it's such a cozy space. Definitely unexpected from a strip mall. There a lot to park in and it's easy to find- right o. The NE corner of Oklahoma and Hwy 100. Since it was fairly late, about 2:30 or so, there was no wait and the restaurant was not crowded. We placed our order at the front and then sat ourselves. The wait wasn't long at all, maybe 10 minutes before our dishes were brought out to us. If it was longer, I certainly didn't notice. The seats were comfortable and we were enjoying our Jasmine green tea and conversation. My husband had the spicy heather rice noodles. The flavors were there, albeit on the salty side. His chief complaint was that the items within the dish kept separating out. Likely due to the oils. Every bite was either noodles or one of the mixed in ingredients. My dish, on the other hand, was easy to get everything in one bite. Even with chopsticks. The stir fried udon was not crispy, which I was curious about. It was still toothy and delicious with the mixed vegetables and chicken. The sauce was neither overpowering nor too abundant. Everything was coated but not drowning, if that makes sense. I'm a huge fan of udon noodles and this dish was simply comforting. The menu itself is not overwhelming but there are plenty of items to choose from. I'm definitely going back and I will try not to get the same thing, but I make no promises! Price point is moderate but worth it for the amount of food. Roughly $30 for two drinks and two entrees.
