I'm writing this to warn others to be careful, or really not to order from Taste of China at all, ever.  I thought it was a coincidence that I would have a  stomach problem after eating their food, but it  is not.  I am so sick after eating the food from there. NEVER AGAIN!!!  Maybe  Taste of China should throw away bad and old rancid  food!!!! Don't serve it to good paying customers... Horrible.
Review Source:We ordered carry out from here one rainy evening and got the following:
- Gon Chow Ngau Ho (standard, not terrible)
- BBQ Pork Fried Rice (same, pretty decent)
- Beef with Broccoli (POISON! Okay, not poison, but it was def funky)
Let's elaborate. Since I'm a lady, I'm not really familiar with the smell of a urinal. However, my boo informed me that the beef with broccoli did, in fact, smell like a urinal. It was weird and creepy and we didn't eat it.
We called the place and they let us bring it back for a refund. Later, we asked our chef friend for potential reasons why the food would have smelled so bad. His guess was that the broccoli was probably really old, which is a better scenario than using urinal cakes as an ingredient. But it is still a little off putting.
So long story short, very standard carry out with questionably fresh ingredients. I've had a lot better. Wah wahhhhhh!
A pleasant surprise! We did carry out tonight after I realized it was far too hot and muggy to hold myself accountable for cooking. Our wait time was minimal; ready in 10 minutes. The portions are enormous, a large menu item is enough for 3-4. Ordered some staple items - eggroll, Hunan Beef, and General Tso's Chicken. Â Sometimes I just want my standard Americanized Chinese food and Taste of China did a great job providing me exactly that. Â Meat was REAL - with no odds and ends and all white-meat chicken. Â Everything was yummy, well-packed, and hot when we came home. Â Their staff was super friendly when I arrived and very welcoming. Â The experience was exactly what I was hoping for and it seems as though Taste of China may just have become our restaurant away from Chinatown.
Review Source:Taste of China is delish..... thanks Rachel ray for always using that word.... Anyway, if your looking for solid above average Chinese food you came to the right place. I don't know about their other location down the road, but this one is strictly takeout.... If that's cool with you then enjoy some of the best crab Rangoon on the planet! I mean seriously the crab filling literally melts in your mouth! However i assume it probably contains about 300 calories per bite! The egg rolls are also kick ass not to mention they are huge. Sweet and sour pork was solid as well... Beware that the prices are a bit steep compared to other Chinese take out joints. I'm just glad the Nequa Valley High School crowd doesn't get cravings for egg rolls like I did when I used to get out of school for the day, or this place would be packed!!!!
Review Source:Been eating from this place since they opened up in Naperville in 2000 or 2001. Great food and great staff. Egg rolls, wonton soup, and friend rice is great. I have tried everything on their menu and it's all good. I still haven't found this good of food in NJ and crave this all the time. Prices are great and they have great lunch specials.
Review Source:Okay, so I used to work here when I was in high school, so you have to take everything I say with a grain of salt, but the food here is pretty damn good.
It's true that Taste of China goes a little heavy on the cornstarch, but what quick chinese takeout place doesn't? What really shines at Taste are their huge eggrolls, delicious crab rangoons, and phenomenal Hong Sue Chicken or Shrimp.
The eggrolls are thick and stuffed with delicious cabbage, shrimp, pork, and soy sauce and always hit the spot. Kids come home and want Portillos. I come home and want eggrolls. Â (P.S. They have a veggie eggroll if you can't do the meat)
The crab rangoon is also great: huge triangles filled with crab and cream cheese, guaranteed to melt in your mouth. Delicious.
Okay, Hong Sue. It's a dark brown sauce that is savory (and not spicy) and has no cornstarch. It comes with veggie like water chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms, snap peas, and bamboo shoots. It comes with a side of breaded *insert pork, chicken, beef, shrimp here* and is to die for with rice. Â Seriously, my go to dish pretty much every time.
Overall, a very good take out place. Yes, the price range is a little high, but those damn eggrolls are what makes it worth it. :)
I have eaten at Taste of China on a number of occasions, and have found the food to be mediocre at best. Â In general, I find that they use too much oil and corn starch in their preparations. Â Prices are a bit high for Chinese takeout places in the area, but are not offensive. Â The service has also been acceptable. Â I simply feel that there are too many decent Chinese restaurants in the vicinity to have to settle for the kind of food you often get at Taste of China.
Please note that I have never been to the south Plainfield location, only the restaurant at 95th and Route 59.
