It's not a very big place, but it is definitely not to be overlooked. There have been times where I have come in and would hear customers sitting at the tables speaking Mandarin to each other -- a sign that this is an authentic place. It is a favorite for Chinese cuisine amongst UB students, even though it's a 10-15 min drive depending on which campus you're coming from. I've been here a few times and I've had to wait ~20 min for my food each time but it's worth it. I recommend getting multiple dishes and sharing each dish with whoever you are eating with. I've had the pork fried dumplings, pork steamed buns, braised beef noodle soup, clams with black bean sauce, double cooked pork, spare ribs with string beans, and some other dishes I can't remember (or took pictures of, sorry!). Each dish was stellar and I honestly don't think there is any dish you could go wrong with from Home Taste. If you are ever craving authentic Chinese food, go here! You will not be disappointed. read more

[Note before you go: they are cash or Venmo only.] I think I hit them on a bad night this time, as I remember it being wonderful the last time I was here. This time it was packed, with every table taken (which is not saying much when there are seven tables to begin with). While I stood to wait for my food to-go I realized too late that the dishes I had been wanting but didn't see on the menu were available only on their new menu, which is not the one they hand to you or pass out when you dine in. I've uploaded photos of it here so nobody else misses out on their full offerings. I got the General Tso's Chicken and two steamed pork buns. Unlike other pork buns I have gotten, these did not have any sauce inside, and tasted as if they had been reheated quickly. As a result the top of the bun was dry and crunchy, while the bottom was still moist. Inside was a fairly chewy ball of pork. If you use the sauce they give you on the side it tastes pretty good, but by itself it was a bit plain for my liking. I caveat this to say that I don't know if this is the way it is authentically done which they were aiming for - I can only compare it to other American Chinese restaurants I've been to in the past. The General Tso's was also different than expected. The chicken was not breaded and a little more stringy than usual. The flavoring was good, but not overly spectacular, with the sauce being the highlight rather than the overall dish together. They seemed packed and overworked tonight, so I will caveat it with that again. I will probably be back at some point but on my hunt for my new favorite restaurant in the city, they are not currently on top of the leaderboard. read more

Good things come in small packages and don't judge a book by it's cover are the appropriate idioms here. The service is warm and welcoming, the food is fantastic, and prices are more than fair. This place is small however, and seemingly always busy. It can be tricky to get a seat. Do not come here expecting your typical Chinese take-out. Most of those standard items won't be found on this menu. This is the real deal Chinese food, I'm assuming as I have never been to China. The first time I came here, I came with a friend. We shared the pork buns and an order of friend chicken and leek dumplings. The order of pork buns came with four and they are large so, we took two home. The dumplings were just incredible, absolutely the best I've ever had. I ordered the eggplant in brown sauce with pork. It was good, but I liked my friends plate better. He got the shredded pork in garlic sauce. It was phenomenal but would have been too spicy for me to eat an entire plate of anyways. He really enjoyed that dish. The portions are very generous and we both left with take home containers. I returned this evening and again enjoyed an order of dumplings. This time there were two different varieties on special. I chose the sour Napa and pork. That was a very good decision. I also ordered the spinach noodle soup. At first I thought it looked boring, but the taste was great, it was just simple and really enjoyable. I felt a little bad because I dined alone this evening and took up a table for four. I had 3 extra seats at my table and three other tables had 2 extra seats. It seams they could accommodate more guests if they had more tables for 2 that could be pushed together when needed. At one point I offered seats at my table to some folks who had planned to come in but decided they'd take it to go. Those people definitely thought I was a weirdo. Oh well. The limited seating is the only caveat here. TIP: do not miss out on these dumplings! read more

This is my second time trying this place and I have to stand by my three stars. I have no complaints but it wasn't great either. My kung pao chicken and steamed buns were just okay, without much subtlety in the flavor and a little bit too much oil for me. The chicken was cooked well and the vegetables were just tender without being too mushy, the rice was decent. It was merely generic and not noteworthy, is all. Go ahead and eat here, it's fine, you'll satisfy a craving for ordinary Chinese takeout. read more

Authentic Chinese food, it's been a couple of years since I went there so I can't remember what I ate. But having been to China and having Chinese family, it's pretty legit (not General Tso's chicken style) read more

Moved back to Buffalo over the summer and needed to find good Chinese food this side of the border. A friend suggested Home Taste and I'm glad he did! Great authentic Chinese food. The pork and oyster mushrooms, and rib tips were the main dishes, with shrimp crystal dumplings and spring rolls as the appetizers. The won ton soup had fresh delicate won tons and a delicious green that looked like spinach but had a wonderful floral taste. I was planning the next dishes that I would order as I was waiting for my order. I could tell it was going to be that good. read more

I've ordered from here countless times -- in my humble opinion, it's the best restaurant in buffalo. The menu is MASSIVE, but unlike most places where that is a red flag, I've yet to have anything from here that I haven't enjoyed. Buns, scallion pancakes, various meat dishes...so good. The lamb with cumin is especially fantastic, treat yourself to some takeout from here and TIP WELL, they deserve it! read more

Home Taste is not your typical fast-food Chinese restaurant. The first time we ordered, we were enticed by the wide range of dishes that we were not used to seeing on our favorite restaurant's menu. Feeling adventurous, we ordered shredded potatoes with garlic and chili, an assortment of (vegan) proteins (gluten, tofu, mushroom, peanuts) but didn't catch they these were cold dishes. Tasty, but it didn't quite hit the spot we were looking to fill. The second time we were slightly more traditional--vegetable dumplings, General Tso's Tofu, and Northwest Style Noodles with Mixed Vegetables. This hit the spot. Rather than the usual pickled chili pepper, the General Tso's contained fresh green hot peppers. The sauce was light and savory, brightened by the flavor of rice wine vinegar. The noodles were served in a light sesame oil base and topped with stir fried greens. I'm looking forward to trying a few of the different vegetable stir-fry combos, including cabbage and red pepper, and cauliflower with garlic and pepper. Remember to add rice to your order. read more

The most legit Chinese restaurant in Buffalo. The mapo tofu, vegetable dishes and dumplings all slap.

This was my second time coming to Home Taste. The food was pretty good! Keep in mind that they are cash only but I have paid via Venmo. We got the eggplant in brown sauce, string beans, and fried pork dumplings. They were flavorful but I would've prefer a garlic hint to it. The dumplings were really good though! Prices were also decent. The waitress was friendly and attentive to our needs. read more

I wish I could give this place 7 stars rating because it is just that good - getting Szechuan food this authentic and delicious is a special experience.. If you like spicy then you have to get the chefs special #38 it will take you on a wild ride of flavors Dumplings and pork buns are something that will keep you back My favorite thing on the menu is the celery and tofu salad but you will not be unsatisfied without anything you order will not get at your typical Szechuan Hands down one of the best restaurants in Buffalo and some of the best food I have ever had anywhere read more

Simplicity ... I believe that we need those simple moments of life more than we want to admit. On a snowy Spring day soup was the call but incredible homemade dumplings were the answer! HomeTaste located in a plain store front on Delaware Avenue in Kenmore can be missed if you don't have it locked into your GPS and I hate to think how many people have missed the simple joys of dumplings that come out of Home Taste's kitchen. You walk in and there are bottles of Chinese vinegar and hot sauce on the table. The menu a simple two sided piece of work covered with dumpling options plus some interesting choices including pigs feet that my mind quickly said no to. As the newcomer I asked for the popular choices and the steamed chicken with leeks sounded just right. These little puffy pillows of dough were oh so tight! Drinking my water from my styrofoam cup I savored each nibble of perfectly blended ground meat and leek. The accompanying sauce provided a bath of taste that made my plate of dumplings a soothing lunch. The ladies of Home Taste were smiling away ... the cook came to ask me how I liked her dumplings in a Chinese English that was more orient than downtown! Home Taste is definitely on my come back list when simplicity calls out her calming name again! read more

Gosh where to start. There were 3 of us and we ordered 9 different dishes. The scallion chicken tasted just like my grandmother made 20 years ago. The braised beef noodle soup and homemade noodle soup with salty minced pork are delicious; noodles are perfect. Service is wonderful and you can taste it in the food. So sad I live so far away otherwise this would be a regular stopping place. read more

It's a tiny hole in the wall kind of place. I have driven by it many times without even noticing it. The food was actually very good, my kid ate the fried pork dumplings and loved them. My husband liked his meal, mine was good. I especially liked the leavened pancake. Pork buns where a little too big. I will go back not sure how often since it's a bit of a drive and near a lot of other good restaurants. read more

Fabulous! Best Chinese food that I have ever eaten. It's fun to try new things every time but we always order the steamed dumplings. The last time that we went to pick up our food, they accidentally gave our food to someone else. They were extremely apologetic and threw in some free food (a Schezuan broccoli dish) and 2 herbal drinks. read more

Was my first time ordering from here. I have heard great things. But I was disappointed. I bought orange chicken sesame chicken and general tso chicken. They all tasted the same and no real flavor. I was disappointed read more

Craving authentic Chinese food, I turned to the web and yelp. Found this place and decided to take a chance. I was exited to see the variety, and crowd. A busy place is a good sign. I ordered the dumplings figuring if they are good I will be back. The order came quick enough friendly service. I enjoy seeing all the local Asian culture eating and talking there. The place is small, so the only negative is the lack of space. The dumplings were fantastic, I will be back for many other dishes. Pros: Great food Cons: Cast only, small place with limited seating NOTE: I am a huge "BUN" fan, and so you know they are NOT available till 2:00 p.m. read more

A hidden treasure in Kenmore! There are only about 6 tables, but worth the wait. Get a few plates to share. This is not your typical "American/Chinese." Every dish is unique and carefully made. Dishes to try: fried eggplant (I usually do not like eggplant, but this was special) spare ribs with green beans. read more

I can't believe it's taken THIS long for me to find a place like this within a 10min drive from my house. I'm always skeptical when non-Asians make a claim about the authenticity of Asian foods, especially if they have never visited or lived in Asia, but I have to say - the dumplings we tried were pretty good! Obviously, it's not as good as places in Toronto or Taiwan - but it's pretty darn great for Buffalo. We arrived around noon, easily got a parking spot right in front of the restaurant - good thing we didn't park in the Supercuts parking lot next door - there was a sign on the restaurant door advising customers NOT to. Second thing to note - it's cash only, no credit cards. It's small inside, with about 8 tables each seating 2-4 people. It was pretty empty when we got there, but by the time we left it was packed (mostly Chinese UB students - great sign of authenticity). We got an order of the pork meat buns to start - they were HUGE. They were great, from the dough to the meat mixture stuffing inside - tasted like home, BUTTTTTTTT there was way too much dough. Ideally, a good meat bun will have a good ratio between dough and meat, and there were at least 2x as much dough needed to make that a perfect meat bun. They looked impressive - being such large buns, but disappointing once you realize how little meat there is inside. I would still recommend ordering it (both pork and vegetarian would be great), but just do yourself a favor and eat only half the dough and save more room for other things... such as their wonderful dumplings! We ordered the pork with napa fried dumplings, and the chicken with leek fried dumplings. I would have preferred to get the steamed/boiled ones, but I knew that my husband preferred fried dumplings more. The sauce that it came with was great, like a sweet garlic sauce. We also used the authentic black vinegar they had - yum! The dumplings had a pretty good ratio between dough and stuffing, though it would have been even better if the dough was just slightly thinner. Overall though, we were very happy with the dumplings. We also ordered a beef noodle soup to split. The noodles were homemade - pretty good, but more authentic noodles should be a little more al-dente. Don't mean to be overly critical, but my maternal grandparents were originally from Shanghai so it's a little hard not to be. Again, there was WAY TOO MUCH noodles compared to the few slices of beef. Next time I would probably order it and ask for less noodles, or pay extra for extra beef. The broth was decent though, reminded me of home. We took most of our food home, since the meat buns and dumplings should reheat pretty well in the microwave/toaster oven. I'm excited to go back again soon and try some of their other dishes. PS. All that food (big bowl of beef noodles, 2 orders of fried dumplings - 24 dumplings total, and 4 giant meat buns and a coke) only cost us just under $32. read more

Food was very good. Service was good and the food was ready on time. Would definitely return here

Just an update with some amazing pics!! I always order the steamed buns and dumplings. Tried the traditional lo mein and loved it! Helpful tip that I discovered after months. The specials (posted a pic) are pretty permanent and are what I have seen people use more than the official menu. I always order the dumplings and buns off the main menu but then go straight to the "specials" and order there. read more

I have never eaten any bad dish here even if I didn't know what I was eating. Tonight was not different. I ordered Super Mala Tang it has a red chili pepper which denotes a spicy dish and that it was. To the best of my understanding it is a soup or hot pot dish with many ingredients some I was unfamiliar with but none was left in my dish when I finished this spicy hot selection. The sauce is made primarily of dried chili peppers, chili powder, douban paste, Sichuan peppercorns, clove, garlic, star anise, black cardamom, fennel, ginger, cinnamon, salt and sugar. I had to google that because I had never heard of this dish before -Mala (麻辣) means numbing and spicy, while tang (烫) means 'boiling hot' in Chinese. Malatang as a dish originated on a stretch of the Yangtze River in Sichuan, where people made a living from towing boats upstream. For meals these men would throw whatever they could find - raw meat and vegetables - into a pot of boiling water for a simple meal. Over time they started to add more seasoning, like chilli and the other spices. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this would combat any dampness in the weather as well. It was served with a side of white rice. It contains a beef broth garlic onion and glass noodles. Also it had lotus root, green leafy vegetable that was a little thicker than greens that was very tender. There is some meat scalloped pieces of chicken, minced pork and little sausages that were probably pork but not like breakfast links. It was deliciously exotic and I would definitely order this again. It was one of the more expensive items on the menu (14.99) however, it came in two quart size containers and will feed two people easily possibly more. The restaurant is serving take out only passed through a Plexiglas box. The order finished very quick. This I believe is authentic Chinese food as there's Chinese text inside and out and on the menu. My favorite Chinese cuisine restaurant in WNY as far as I'm concerned. read more

Home Taste - Front door is locked! - Chinese Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My new favorite authentic Chinese food place. I have been to a couple of authentic Chinese food places but this has to come out on top. I remind me so much of home cook food. Although the place is small, it is very cozy though. The staff was very friendly and most importantly our food came in a timely manner. My friends and I ordered a couple of dishes. One dish was the braised chicken with potatoes, carrots, and pepper. It is a big portion so order to share. It was absolutely great, the favor was just right with a hint of spicy and it came with a side of spicy noodles. Everyone on my table loved that dish. Next order was the pan fried pork with napa dumplings. They were different from the dumplings I order at other Chinese restaurants. The skin was just enough thickness and the inner part was very juicy. The sauce had a hint of spicy and garlic and it was perfect. We also order the egg omelette and that had to be our second favorite dish. I ordered this at other authentic places but not like this one. It is not too greasy, the favor was on point, and it has a good amount of ingredients in it. We also ordered the spare tips and that one was good but not as good as the ones my mom makes. I wish I put like a hint of garlic in it or if they did, I didn't taste it. It just taste like teriyaki mixed with some other sauce. We can finished the table off without some veggies! We ordered eggplant with pork in brown sauce. It was great. The eggplant had a little of crisp to it and the sauce was great with the eggplant but there wasn't much pork in it which we didn't mind. The eggplant was the main thing on that dish anyways. Definitely recommend this place if you want some less greasy authentic Chinese food. It will be my to go to place for Chinese food :) read more

It's legitimately authentic, friends say it's Northern Chinese. As a student at University at Buffalo, I try to keep up with what the foreign students say is good, and this is top of the list for the Chinese students. I adore the Qishan Minced Pork soup. Spicy, aromatic, slight vinegar bite, totally addictive. It's my favorite. I could eat it for every meal. You get a nice numbing spicy bite of Sichuan pepper every now and again. Same with the dishes with the fermented black bean sauce. So much subtler and aromatic than the usual overbearing ferment of the usual version you get from an Americanized Chinese restaurant. The scallion pancake and pork and leek dumplings are also a favorite, and I usually get them with every meal. Couldn't recommend the place more highly. Best Chinese in Buffalo by far. read more

Whoa this place is epic! Let me start by saying you should never judge a book by its cover. On the outside and even inside as you sit down in this small hole in the wall spot, you will look at the single page menu, wrapped in a plastic sleeve and wonder what to try. For us it was all about the pork buns and dumplings. Man this place did NOT dissapoint. The portions are large, the prices are super fair and the flavors are going to make you want more! The pork buns are gigantic soft ball sized bundles of goodness. Slightly on the doughy side but each contain a nice portion of filling. The sauce served with these was awesome and you cant get enough. Although a single order comes with 4, you really only need 1 maybe 2 buns to be full. Dumplings come 12 to an order and they arent small. The insides are packed with delicious meats and herbs. You can order them steamed or fried. Looking back I think we should have got 1/2 steamed and 1/2 fried but no regrets. They are amazing and the tables have little jars of sauces that compliment the taste of these very well. We also tried the chicken with chili's and I gotta say this was one of the main highlights for me. You get a large towering plate of chicken chunks mixed together with red chilis, fried ginger slices and chives. The chicken itself has absorbed the flavor from both the ginger and the chilis and now sits waiting for your tastebuds! Kind of reminded me of your classic buffalo style chicken wing without the bone or the mess. Super fun to dig through and super good !! Our bill was just over $40 and we each took home a ton of food. Its the next day now and I had some leftovers for lunch but STILL have some left. Yes, maybe we over ordered. Maybe we did it for Yelp, or maybe we did it because we wanted to try it all. No one will ever know, but I HIGHLY recommend you make the trip to Home Taste! A++ Also worthy of noting we saw other people ordering big bowls of noodles and others had towering plates full of chopped chicken chunks, carrots and potato. It almost looked like a stew without the broth but rather a broth sauce. Very interesting! There is also a parking lot nearby where you can park for free if on street parking is all taken. read more

Our take-out order was well prepared and ready on time. We ordered: S2 White Radish with Pork Bone Broth, 8 Pork with Leek and Shrimp 12 steamed Dumplings, and 27 Scallion Chicken. On the menu, hot/spicy selections are clearly marked with a red pepper, warning us to stay away!! The 27 Scallion Chicken did NOT have the red pepper symbol on the menu, but when we opened the package, the chicken was soaking in a red, oily substance. I dared to taste it and found it to be VERY spicy and inedible to us. The soup and the dumplings were delicious, but a few hours after eating them we both developed a severe headache. My headache was so painful that it kept me awake all night. My wife was able to fall asleep with her headache. We came to a conclusion -- the food contained MSG, and most likely a lot of it. We were hoping that Andrew Galarneau of the Buffalo News had led us to a great restaurant, but NO. We won't return there, and we recommend that if you choose to patronize them, please verify everything!! read more

I'm a Chinese food snob, since I'm Chinese American and mostly ate my grandma's cooking when I was a kid. My non-Chinese husband, who enjoys both authentic Chinese and American Chinese food, has a hard time convincing me to go out for Chinese food. He can easily win me over, though, if he suggests Home Taste. This is a small restaurant with just a few tables. We once went on a Wednesday night around 8 pm, expecting it would be easy to get a table, but there was a small line out the door. Luckily, we didn't wait too long. More recently, we went on a Sunday around 1 pm, expecting to see a crowd, but there were several vacant tables. Whatever you do, try some of buns/breads, since you're not going to see these at every Chinese restaurant. I've tried the steamed buns with minced vegetables, the large dumplings with egg, leek and glass noodles, and the leavened pancake. They're a bit on the plain side (especially the pancake, which is not filled), but you'll be glad that they are if you also order some spicy dishes. You should also try at least one of the dishes seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns, like the Northwest style noodles, since they're an unusual kind of spicy. They're not hot the way Indian or Thai food can be, but instead they make your lips and tongue tingly and numb. This isn't the best place for vegetarians, but I won't hold that against them, because my grandma also wasn't that vegetarian-friendly of a cook. You can request some of the dishes without pork, though I'm not confident that they're really vegetarian even then (i.e., they may use meat-based broth or sauces). But I do like the eggplant with brown sauce minus the pork, because they fry the eggplant really well. Look at the specials boards near the counter, because they tend to have a few veggie dishes posted there that aren't on the menu. I like that the water, hot water, and tea bags are self-serve, so I can help myself to more as needed (especially helpful when eating spicy dishes). The cash-only policy is a little annoying, but prices are reasonable and we always go home with leftovers. read more

This place has just seven tables, and every one of them was occupied from the time we got here until the time we left. The menu is almost overwhelming, because you want to try everything.

Who knows and who cares!? Either way, it was hot, tasty, fresh, and delicious, easily the best eggplant I've ever had. We ordered some steamed dumplings too, which were good but not as great as some of the previous requests had said. Maybe I just got the wrong ones? Absolutely coming back! read more

Home Taste is consistently delicious. The dumplings are always amazing and everything is spot-on. The only thing I've ever had that I didn't care for were the veggie buns.

I've eaten here twice so far and both times the food was fantastic. We've tried a few things from here so far and they've all been great! 1) fried dumplings (vegetable and pork w/cabbage) which were amazing, perfectly seasoned fillings and a really nice dough for the wrapping. The dipping sauce was also really nice and flavorful. 2) Shredded pork in spicy garlic sauce. It didn't come with rice which I think would have been nice, but on its own it was still great. The sauce had an amazing garlicky and authentic Chinese flavor. The vegetables in there were also really good. Good portion of meat to veggie ratio as well. I thought it was really good, but I wouldn't order again just because there is so much else to try! 3) sesame chicken. This was your classic take on sesame chicken with great flavor and nice meaty pieces of chicken. Had a nice sweet and savory sesame flavor and wasn't greasy at all. 4) northwestern style noodle. These were really good! For this dish, they use in house made noodles which are so good. The flavor these had were really nice and like nothing I've ever had. They had a nice spice to them and I loved the added leafy greens in there. Amazing dish and a staple there 5) chow-mein with shiitake mushrooms and veggies. This was a simple dish but packed a nice amount of flavor. For a noodle dish, it was surprisingly light and not greasy like other chow mein noodles I've had in the past. 6) last but not least, the zhenjiang ribs...and holyy moly were these great. They were fall off the bone tender and had an amazing flavor from the black bean sauce they were braised in. The deep black color was off putting at first, but once I took my first my eyes lit up. Amazing flavor and sooo tender. 100% recommend these. read more

Home Taste - 1. Pork with Napa Steamed Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Buffalo, New York

An authentic, delicious, and family owned/operated place - the real deal all around and not greasy Americanized "Chinese food" (which does have a time and place). We got the egg tofu in brown sauce, the wonton soup, bok Choy, tofu/cucumber salad, and pork/mushroom entree. Every single thing was absolutely delicious and brought us back to meals we loved when visiting China. The owner threw in some pork dumplings for free, they were wonderful and it was a really nice gesture - an overall reflection of how this place does business. We went to pick up our food and we were thrilled to see how seriously they were taking COVID precautions. Felt really reassuring. We were sad we weren't in town for longer to try more of their menu. Do yourself a favor and support this treasure of a restaurant! read more

I'm a little torn here as this local favorite seems to have remained a hidden gem and I kinda want to keep it that way but at the same time this place is SO GOOD. The steamed pork buns and any of the dumplings are phenomenal and don't let the cash only policy of this place detour you...Home Taste is worth a trip to the ATM and the $20 you'll spend for a belly full of good food. They have daily specials on the boards when you walk-in. Take note of these! Their standard menu is great but the specials will introduce you to things you had no idea you loved. read more

Excellent food. Dumplings were special. Dishes generally do not come with rice so don't forget to order if you want it.

The food was way too spicy for me and when I asked if anything could be done they said no, I've eaten this dish at many places and it's never been so spicy. I'm just upset they won't let me exchange for another dish. Now I'm on lunch and have to go back hungry and out 20$ because the dish doesn't even include rice. Would not recommend read more
