Taste is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal in Palo Alto! The food was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Great choice for Chinese. My favorites are the chili oil wontons, hot and sour soup, and beef in flaming red oil. Food isn't super spicy - decent level of heat.

Taste is a restaurant known for its excellent and flavorful Chinese food, with a perfect level of spice and authentic ingredients. The menu includes options such as a delicious spicy stir fry and tender lamb. The service is commendable, with attentive staff who promptly attend to customers' needs. Although the food can be a bit pricey, it is considered the best in the Stanford area. The restaurant is kid-friendly, offering additional silverware and bowls for children, and suggesting less spicy options. The location has ample street parking and offers dishes like the scrumptious soup, which can serve 2-3 people. Many customers praise the authenticity of the dishes, noting that no dish is westernized and that flavors remind them of China. The Chinese dry pot remains a favorite, often ordered multiple times, and the Tan tan noodle has recently become a new favorite. The atmosphere balances modern and cozy elements, making it both upscale and welcoming. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, offering thoughtful recommendations and making diners feel genuinely cared for. Overall, Taste provides a satisfying dining experience that combines great flavor, atmosphere, and hospitality.
