Review China Taste - Prince George

No soy sauce and no fortune cookie even. The sweet and sour pork was lightly sauced and seemed like it had been cooked 6 hours before and may as well have been the leftovers from the buffet or something. The chickenchow mein looks like and tastes like mr noodles from a pack and had no chicken in it all or flavor and took up over 70 percent of the meal. The tiny portion of chop suey tastes like the vegetables are unwashed and is really overcooked. This is by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had and for the 25 bucks I paid with delivery and 3 dollar tip I would have to say it was a complete waste of money.

Pre Pandemic I liked the food here. The quality the last 3 orders has not been good. One time I ordered and everything fried tasted like fish! The dry garlic pork has been really bad here lately. They need to either change who they order these from or cook them different. Its too bad:( I tried it one more time and the beef in the beef and broccoli was smelling bad and rancid. I had to throw it out. I sure hope me and my family don't get sick.

Good food, good prices, good wait time. The food reaches you hot 😀. Only downer...ask for and pay for...plastic cutlery, soy sauce etc, chopsticks, salt & pepper, lemon wedge etc etc.

We've always enjoyed the chinese food from this restaurant and always order our take out from here, but our last order 2 days ago was a huge disappointment. Something has changed, the portions were smaller, the food bland, no fortune cookies and the new soya sauce is inedible it tastes like salt water with no flavour at all ! We will be finding a new chinese food restaurant to order our take out from in the future.

Just not very good. My first time trying the food here. It was all very bland. There's only 2 decent Chinese places in town, and you're definitely not one. No fortune cookies was just another strike against you.

Think you I love this combo plain chow mein chicken chop suey almomd chicken stop by here grab a bite 2 eat you won’t regret it

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten . Should not say eaten cause I’m probably gonna throw it in the garbage . Chicken chow mein was plain noodles with a little bit of what looked like dehydrated chicken with water added to it. . The beef fried rice was nothing fried just plain white race with gray Tasteless beef . Just horrible I’ve never written a review online for anything I just don’t want anyone to be ripped off by this place

Good Chinese food but no soy sauce no fortune cookie also the delivery driver asked for a tip

Ive heard soo many bad things and had a bad experience before. Heard you got new owners and figured we'd give you a try yesterday. I have found my new favourite Chinese restaurant! Amazing food. Great flavours. Only issues we had with our food was the deep fried shrimp and dry garlic were lacking seasoning. But eveything else was AMAZING!! Highly recommend to everyone!!

I recently re-reviewed all the Sushi restaurants in Prince George in order eliminate any anomalies from earlier reviews. I have no plans on doing likewise with Chinese locations. My gut tells me little has encouraged repeat reviews. And when I mean gut, I’m not talking instinct; I’m actually referring to my gastrointestinal system. It has literally begged me (using words, very confusing) to avoid the Chinese food in town. It has already suffered through the side-effects of a homemade bollito misto containing something I must be allergic to, and has put its foot down on any further attempts at—employing modern terminology—enhanced culinary interrogation. However, a compromise has been met regarding a single exception—one restaurant with a hidden passion for exquisite Chinese food. That place…is China Taste. My first review was a depressing account of its buffet, but a second visit—armed with the knowledge of a secret menu—revealed an incredible jewel of restaurant. I could not have been more wrong. I know of rumors of other locations offering hidden Chinese menus, but China Taste obviously doesn’t mind this being revealed. Why? Well, last time, the menu was all in Mandarin (or Cantonese, let’s get over the fact I can’t distinguish), forcing my friend and I to seek translation. Upon our second request weeks later, we discovered said menu was now bilingual. Yes…bilingual, meaning not only has this menu proved popular, but so many people have been requesting it that the chef has embraced the alternate cuisine and translated it for Western/English customers. It’s no longer a secret; they don’t care, and I don’t care. China Taste is the best Chinese restaurant in town. I dare—I repeat—dare other Chinese restaurants to reveal rumored secret menus and invite westerners such as myself to experiment with truly amazing ethnic cuisine. I won’t resort to water-boarding or other apparently accepted forms of cross-examination, just a simply request. And until said restaurants open up about these treasures, I will continue to extol the virtues of China Taste, truly a taste respectful of its namesake country (wait…isn’t it the other way around…no matter). Our second visit was punctuated by two new dishes, once again fringed by a giant steam pot of fresh rice. Mine was a minefield of hot peppers and boiled beef and tasted of heaven mixed with molten lava. It should be noted that we were offered bowls or plates and later with forks or chopsticks. Here is where the owners retreat to a room to compose themselves, as clumsy westerners fail to make the simply observation of traditional Chinese cuisine. You see, people make jokes about chopsticks and our stumbling efforts to mimic the proficient use by the experts, but many fail to make the observation that sticks work well when retracting food from a bowl. Combine chopsticks with plates, and it’s like trying to pick up a greased-up toddler after it accidentally downed a pot of black coffee. So, here is my lesson learned the hard way: Chopsticks go with bowls, forks with plates. Let’s all accept this and recognize that it’s not dishonorable employing metal utensils. Okay? Sticks with bowls; forks with plates. I am asked continually about what is the best Chinese restaurant in town, specifically the best buffet. That reminds me of that scene in The Last Boy Scout when Bruce Willis asks his friend if he would rather be punched in the gut or punched in the head (like him, I’d choose gut). I won’t answer because in honesty, there is no good Chinese buffet...and if I mentioned one and if you got sick, could I be blamed for planting the seed? Like heavy metal songs promoting Satan, I cannot be held responsible for your actions. I cannot recommend any buffets in town, but I will recommend the best Chinese restaurant, and that is China Taste. I named it the best restaurant of 2013 on account of its secret menu of authentic Chinese dishes, a fact I repeated on my recent CBC radio interview. The same day as our meal, I was invited to Fortune Palace. I weighed the options and chose China Taste easily. I’d do it again. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Presentation: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Recommendation: 4/5

Love the food and service I have some uncommon food sensitivities and they are always really good with my orders highly recommend

I would give it a 5 star for the past 10 years until today a new worker cancelled a order for no reason and was extremely rude

We don’t order from anywhere else! Friendly staff and great food.

BEST local Chinese restaurant in town. Food is amazing. Spicy prawns are not to be passed over. Hot, fresh food, great service and now newly renovated.

I love the buffet and the owner knows me well, and she see me and gets my drinks ready, Thank to May and her staff..
