Once again, Sophia and I stopped here for lunch which was a year later. This was the 3rd time we've been here which should've been done way earlier. The previous two times ended up with satisfaction. Shall the 3rd stop be icing on the cake? We were seated immediately upon walking inside. It was almost half packed which was fine with us. Decor was nice all around, the staff were friendly and customers seemed happy too. You know we can't negate that type of vibe. After looking through the menu for several minutes, I decided on ordering chicken in soy sauce (half portion) with a side of white rice and Egg Drop soup which came with crispy wonton strips. Everything was delicious. It has been a while since I've had this type of soup so I couldn't pass it up. The chicken was cooked well with plenty of soy sauce marinating the meat. I took half of it home where it was plentiful. Definitely not a bad lunch for the both of us (Sophia had the salt and pepper squid which was my go-to for previous visits). Hopefully we'll be back here sooner than later. Till next time :)
Walking into Guangdong Taste, my friends and I didn't realize it was a family-style dining spot, but that became clear pretty quickly once we looked around the restaurant and saw everyone else's food. The portions are big and meant for sharing, which worked perfectly since there were five of us. The real surprise for me was the rotating tabletop. I had never experienced one before, and it honestly made sharing dishes both fun and super convenient. We ordered a plethora of dishes: BBQ pork buns, custard buns, Cantonese roast duck, Szechuan chicken, stir-fried Chinese broccoli, and eggplant with garlic sauce. Everything we tried was delicious, no misses across the table. That said, the eggplant with garlic sauce was the standout for me; it was rich, savory, perfectly sauced, and absolutely the dish I kept going back for. Service was a tad slow, but the restaurant was clearly busy, so I get it. Nothing that ruined the vibe, just something to be aware of if you're in a rush. All in all, this was an excellent family-style dining experience with generous portions and great food. I'd definitely dine here again and next time, I already know I'm ordering that eggplant with garlic sauce. *Insert eggplant emoji* lol
Great food and faster service. Large space that does family style with large portions. This was plenty to feed three people and still had some left over and be under $80 is great. We got the beef tendon noodle soup, sesame chicken, house lo main, pork buns, custard buns and shrimp dumplings. Everything tasted great and we all left happily stuffed.
We always go here for a Chinese food fixed, food tastes are very consistent and delicious. Very tasty and could match with NY Chinatown. The service today is not so good that is why it is 4 not 5 star, it could really be improved. I asked 3 servers for a water refill. I understand it is busy but probably additional staff on a holiday will help. I appreciate the guy who seated us on a big table just to seat us in order. The restaurant's restroom is clean in spite of being busy. Will always be one of my favorite in the area.
Receipt is included Just go to Peter Chang, it's the superior Chinese food spot Not enough meat but way too much vegetables for the items, their prices is too much for so little food They have soy sauce and chili oil in the middle of the table 4/5 - The Salt and Pepper Squid was good though and so were the Sesame Balls and Fish Filet with XO Sauce 3/5 - Shumai and Pan Fried Dumplings were okay 2/5 - The Xiao Long Bao's soup was also tasteless but had a decent amount of meat + Shrimp Dumpling and General Tso's Chicken were okay 1/5 - The House Fried Rice and Walnut Shrimp were tasteless + the Beef Short Ribs and Moo Goo Gai Pan were so-so
I've been to GuangDong for a birthday dinner previously and decided to go for dinner to give it a second try. This was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I've had. From the moment we sat down, the service felt rushed. Our waitress barely gave us time to look at the menu before pushing us to order. It didn't feel welcoming at all, it felt like we were an inconvenience. While we were eating, there was a very concerning situation happening with some employees. Two women who appeared intoxicated kept coming from the back of the restaurant, stumbling and falling all over the floor. One of them was repeatedly rubbing her nose with what looked like a powdery substance while a man kept pulling them back into a room near the restrooms. This went on multiple times. It was extremely uncomfortable and honestly scary,especially because my kids and their friend were with us. We weren't the only ones disturbed. Two other tables actually got up and left while this was going on. A couple sitting nearby looked completely shocked when the waitress began mocking me later on. The whole atmosphere felt chaotic and unprofessional. We ended up asking for to-go boxes because the environment felt unsafe. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. The chicken was very soggy and not crispy at all. On top of that, the entire restaurant smelled strongly like smoke mixed with a harsh chemical odor. It did not feel clean. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. When I asked about it, the waitress immediately became defensive and said they charge 20% for parties over five. I calmly explained that we were three adults and two children (five total). Instead of clarifying professionally, she began yelling back and forth with another woman, mocking what I was saying. She then snatched the check from the table and said, "For future reference, it's 20% for everyone." The entire interaction was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Overall, extremely unprofessional, uncomfortable, and not a place I would recommend at all, especially for families.
Noisy, lively atmosphere, with service. The dishes smell great but prices have definitely gone up! I ordered the Salt and Pepper Triple Delight (shrimp, squid, and scallops), Mongolian beef,
Small little cute space. It is set up with mostly round tables to be able to have the family style experience. Everything you order is a very large quantity because it is meant to share. There is a circular table on top to be able to move the dishes around easily. There were 6 of us so it was a bit pricey but there was plenty of food to take home for another meal or two. Everything came out hot and tasty. My only recommendation would be to have a menu where you could order an individual meal if you did not want to share. The bathrooms were clean. They do have a full bar for cocktails. Noise level is a bit above average. It is wheelchair accessible but could be difficult to move around.
This was my first time at GuangDong. We went early in the day, so seating was plentiful. I was very eager to try the soup dumplings and my husband was eager to try the duck. We ordered the duck on the mixed platter and it was tasty along with the pork. My main entree was pan fried noodles with chicken and it had such a great flavor. The servings were also plentiful so we all shared dishes. At the table, we also had Sea bass and peppercorn squid. The squid was very good. It came to the table late, so we took most of it home. It lost its crunch, but not its flavor. Now let's talk soup dumplings. I read several other Yelp reviews to get a concerns us and I saw a lot of positive vibes. Overall, they had good qualities when they arrived to the table. They looked delicious, they were hot, and I could tell there was soup and a filler inside. I was a little disappointed at the amount of soup and the flavor. They were ok dumplings. 3.5 STARS! I would definitely visit again and I really enjoyed their food flavor. However, I am still on the hunt for the best soup dumplings in the 757!
Honestly... the options for Chinese food in vb suck lol but this one has definitely satisfied my taste buds. It is defintely a little pricier than most but you get alot of food. You can easily eat there and take home for the next day. The service is what it is. I wouldn't categorize it as horrible, they're just working fast. They've got to go orders to do plus the restaurant gets busy plus the language barrier plus some customers attitude do get crazy. So I can understand. But the food is honestly really good, I've only had one dish that wasn't the best, it was a seafood something, I cant remember. And their fried rice is brown, which is what it should be, NOT YELLOW!
The food was the most authentic Chinese cuisine I have had in the 757 area we went to celebrate my birthday back in 2023 and had made a reservation for 30 and it did not disappoint. If anything, most of the guest still bring up the experience / restaurant to this day because it was that memorable

A wonderful spot for Chinese food in the 757. Overall service is well. The place is very spacious with a lot of round tables with lazy Susan's. I always get the hot tea, a great start to the meal. Overall, I think the seafood fried rice is okay, I'd rather go for another meat like chicken or beef. They have pancit, which was decent. The mapo tofu is very tasty, but I wish there was more ground beef. Spice level was decent, but I would like it spicier. The garlic eggplant is one of my favsssssss!!!! A sweet soy sauce/oyster sauce taste. The Peking duck is very good, skin is crispy. The char siu pork is also very flavorful. THE WALNUT SHRIMP, it's always a winner. This is my husband's favorite. The white sauce just pairs so well with fried shrimp. The dumplings and Rangoons are thick. The dumplings are covered in sweet soy sauce. Very tasty. The pork belly was crispy just like Filipino lechon. I really enjoyed the custard buns. I do love that they have dim sum available to order all day. We have been here many times, and the dishes are always very good. They put a lot on the plate. This is definitely a place for family style. A must try!! We will be back. read more
The space was big and is nice for large groups. The service was okay. Took our order and filled our water once. The food was good nice portions. They have authentic and Chinese American food. The seafood fried rice, stir fry clams, and salt and pepper pork chop were a family favorite. read more

Popular dim sum restaurant that was still quite busy on a Saturday night. Keep in mind that a dim sum order takes about 20 minutes. My order of lobster was ready before the dim sum. So just keep that in mind. read more

Best Chinese Food in Virginia Beach! I travel to VA several times a year from Florida where we don't get good Chinese Food. I'm from Long Island, NY and miss really good Chinese Food. This place was recommended and it lived up to expectations. I ordered Fried Dumplings and Chicken w/Garlic Sauce and Fried Rice. The dumplings were excellent, not doughy, but fresh and very tasty with their sauce. The Chicken w/garlic sauce was very flavorful and delicious. A little spicy now and again, but excellent. I will be back. read more

2 words: Family. Style. Ahhh and the soup dumplings!!! I enjoyed that and the egg drop soup immensely. The chow fun was my main pick with beef to which the noodles were a joy to the senses. I sampled a lil' bit of everything from calamari, peking duck + soft bunz, and a type of breaded fish that was a major win on the tastebuds. They were wildly busy on a Friday night with to-go orders, cooking, big groups.. the staff did the best they could to accommodate everyone so noted on their efforts. read more
Incredible! Every single thing that we ordered was delicious. Their soup dumplings are fantastic, the duck was perfectly done, and their eggplant in garlic sauce was my favorite thing I ate all week. Nothing to complain about. I'm a sucker for hot and sour soup -- theirs is the best I've had since moving to Hampton Roads. Can't wait to go back and try out more of the menu! read more

Delicious carry out dinner: half Steamed chicken with ginger and scallion sauce $15.50 and pan fried seafood noodles $17.95. I ordered in person at 5:45 pm on a Tuesday night, my order was ready in 20 minutes. The dinning room was not busy, just two families were eating and a few carryout orders ready for pick while I was waiting for my dinner. Lots of parking spaces available and well lite parking lot. I will return for duck noodle soup and fresh fish dishes. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by our recent and first visit to GuangDong. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, with items coming out in family-size portions. Plan to get to-go boxes. Most of the food didn't last long enough for us to take a photo because it was so delicious and fresh! The service was speedy, and our dishes arrived quickly. The restaurant wasn't very crowded, but there is plenty of space to accommodate larger parties easily. Overall, everything was good, and we will definitely be returning when we have a taste for good Chinese food. read more

Visited here this past Wednesday 12/26/23 with a couple of girlfriends. We were lucky to get a table as we did come during the dinner rush (6pmish). We ordered soup dumplings, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, 1/2 Peking duck, Shrimp w. Walnuts, Beef Chow Fun (dry) and Wonton Soup Hong Kong Style. We all enjoyed most of our dishes. The Wonton Soup Hong Kong style was missing noodles though I could not remember if I possible ordered the wrong dish, I thought it would come with noodles considering it was listed on Noodle Soup section. Soup dumplings were OK in my opinion the so called soup was lacking and the dough was thick. Everything came out at different times but we did not mind since they were so busy and we were catching up on each other's lives so it did not bother us. I will definitely be back :) read more

The food is comparable to NYC but the service can be so so slow. We ordered roast pork to share as an appetizer but it didn't come until we were almost done with our entrees because the one and only person who chops it up and makes wonton noodle soup was on a lunch break. Needless to say I was the unfortunate one that ordered wonton Ho fun noodle soup and didn't get to eat until everyone was already done with their entrees. It's a great place for large gatherings and they have private rooms which is a big plus for privacy and a party. The decor is nice as well. My nieces favorite dish is beef and broccoli! read more

This place is great. Authentic dishes! We are looking forward to the rest! Great service and willingness to address special requests. Thank you read more
This is some good Chinese food! I'm not a big a fan of Chinese cuisine but this place makes me rethink my decision on that. The food comes out hot, fast and tasty. It is family style so the dishes are easily shareable with at least 3 people. For my first visit I experienced great service and a friendly staff. This is what I had: Salt and pepper eggplant - fried eggplants with salt and pepper. The eggplant still had a nice firm so it wasn't mushy at all. I really enjoyed this. Mongolian Beef - meet was tender with plenty of onions. Some places that I had this dish at was really greasy but not here. The menu is extensive and there's something for everyone. From your rice/noodle dish to your dishes you won't find at other Chinese restaurants in our area. It's spacious and can hold a large party. Hope to be back soon to try the noodle dishes. read more

Yet another excellent dinner here. I really like the consistency and straight forward flavor that you can rely on. I keep our order generally identical except this time we ordered cashew chicken and it was actually very good. The roast duck was very tasty as usual, the French style beef steak was chef's kiss, and the fried rice was also very tasty. read more

Do they have a full bar?
They only offer a limited selection of cocktails as well as beer and wine.
Do you need a reservation for a Friday or Saturday night?
Not required. They're busy but they have a lot of space!
Do you need to order the whole Peking duck in advance? Curious if I need to call the restaurant before arriving.
I have seen people just order the duck but it does take a tad bit longer to cook if they don't already have some done
Is Dim Sum available all week or just weekends?
You can order dimsum anytime. It's available as long as they're open & not sold out of dimsum.
