    Mongolian Beef
    Glenn M.

    So delicious and such a wonderful warm inviting place to enjoy friends, family and company at. The service here is always top notch! My 98 year old mom loves this place so much! Figuring how many different Chinese Restaurants she has been to over her life she says this one is the very BEST! (Please see picture below) We have been coming here for years and have always had very delicious food. Ming and her husband take such pride in their restaurant that it shows in their delicious food and wonderful service! Great place!

    Soup comes with the lunch special
    Lexi R.

    I shared a lunch special black bean fish filet with my son. It's $20.50 before tax and includes a cup of soup, salad, your choice or fried rice or chow mein , and an entree. It was a good portion of food! Even though I shared with my toddler, I still ended up with leftovers! Everything was pretty good and to my surprise I especially loved the salad! It was so refreshing and had bits of chicken in it too. The chow mein also wasn't super greasy which I appreciate. Service was friendly and quick.

    Hot and Sour soup

    Had dinner here last night Hot and Sour soup was ok Stir fry green beans were awesome Kung Pao tofu was excellent as well Very friendly and good service Ambiance is ok here, you go for food

    Dinner for 4 adults. The food was fresh and tasty. Our service was very quick. We had egg rolls, the Chinese Broccoli & Shrimp Special, Shrimp Fried Rice, Cashew Chicken and Mango Beef, the latter of which was my favorite--very tender beef, nice ripe mango. I might have been more adventurous had I been with different dining companions, but all the food was good. For me, the prices seemed a bit high for the portions--we had nothing to take home! Egg rolls were excellent but small. We were not offered chop sticks (none of us are Asian) but I'm sure they would had been provided if we asked. Although we were served the traditional fortune cookies at the end of the meal, we were surprised not to have been given a pot of tea with our meal--how much would that have cost, 25¢ maybe? I don't understand people saying this is a "hole in the wall." It's in a nice location and it's a typical Chinese restaurant with very nice traditional decor and a variety of seating options. It's a BISTRO, not Fung Lum.

    Szechuan prawns, hot and sour soup, veggie fried rice
    Esther S.

    If you're looking for a genuine, delicious, local Chinese restaurant, this is the place! They have a great vegetarian selection of dishes. We had the hot and sour soup, veggie fried rice and Szechuan prawns. The service is fast and personable. We will be back often!

    Just yards off the main drag in toney Los Gatos you'll find this delightful small restaurant serving up big flavours and a big menu of traditional homey Chinese comfort cuisine. Quality of the food and execution of the dishes at Taba Taba Bistro are top notch. Hot and sour soup was excellent, extremely well balanced in flavour, full of bamboo and tofu and all the brilliant ingredients and seasonings this soup should always have. I could eat a double size bowl, it was that good. Egg fried rice, packed with equal amounts of egg and veggies as it was rice, was very good. Snapper fillets in black bean sauce lunch special comes with a serving of rice, either white or brown. Fish was cooked perfectly, sauce was fragrant and savoury, as I thoroughly enjoy the fermented black bean base, which complements perfectly vegetables and fish. Plenty of onion pieces and large chunks of bell peppers, mostly green but a few red ones too. Service is relatively friendly, not the typical grumpy vibe you encounter in similar restaurants deep in the downtowns of large metropolises. They comp'd Yelp pal Steve a bowl of soup, owner said "on the house". All in all, Taba Taba China Bistro is a solid spot for delectable Chinese food any time of day and any day of the week.

I have never been treated this way at any restaurant. At the end of the meal, I made it clear to her that her behavior was wrong and that customers should not be treated this way. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

The mall is located across the street from Lunardi's grocery store. We ordered hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef, a shrimp-squid-scallops stir-fry and a deep fried fish slices dish with pepper and salt. The meal was quite delicious, the chef cooks the dishes in the kitchen from scratch right after you order. There were complimentary dishes of edamame and a cold bean soup dessert that were "help yourself ". I would definitely come here again with my mom for another meal. A couple of families came in for dinner with their kids, a few people came to pick up their takeout, and we noticed that all patrons chowed down the delicious food, even the little kids seemed to enjoy the food as well. Prices were somewhat higher than the menus that you see online, but currently, it's inflationary times right now, so it's to be expected. However, the quality of the dishes was well worth the price. Try out this place, it should be a good pick for a family dinner.

All of us agreed that the main dishes were delicious and served in generous portions. Reviews were however a little mixed on the appetizers. Service throughout the lunch was friendly, attentive and pleasant. Individually served were a bowl of hot and sour soup although steaming hot but too thick with corn starch and overly sweet without the right balance of flavor . Chicken salad was just ok, primarily lettuce with sliced chicken fingers. The vegetarian egg roll was fresh and crispy, best of the three. The main dishes were Honey walnut prawns, black pepper fish fillets, sweet sour pork, house Basil beef, braised tofu and Kung Pao chicken. Every dish was well cooked with distinct flavor and fresh ingredients. A large bowl of steamed rice was also perfectly cooked and generous served. Our favorite were the tofu and the basil beef. We couldn't finish all the food, several of us brought home leftovers. We were quite happy with the experience, enjoyed the excellent food service, value and ambiance. I will not wait too long to come back.

The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.
