Customer service is great and no one does combination rice like china taste . I have to have it at least 1 per week . The shrimp n broccoli is a must have for me .

Absolutely disgusting. I used to be a regular here... No more.Got Mongolian chicken and 85% of it was soggy disgusting onion and leaves. Take a look at the picture which shows AFTER I took all the chicken out. They are ripping customers off. For the high price they charge this is outrageous.

Food: I had high expectations for China Taste, but unfortunately, I was let down. The food was subpar, and I rarely give one-star reviews. While you do get a lot of food for a reasonable price of $15, the flavor was disappointing. The fried rice was dry and lacked any seasoning. The orange chicken sauce tasted like it came from a grocery store jar, and the sauce was too sweet for my liking. The wanton soup was just okay, nothing special. On the bright side, the shrimp roll was delicious, perfectly cooked with well-seasoned cabbage and veggies. Service: I called to place my order, and though the person who answered the phone was friendly, they had difficulty getting my order right. When I arrived to pick up my carry-out order, someone was already in line in front of me. I waited patiently for my turn, but was shocked when the cashier rudely interrupted the man to take my order. I felt awful and embarrassed. This experience left me with a negative first impression. Ambiance: The restaurant itself is a small takeout-only spot. You can see the kitchen staff working in the back. Overall: I was disappointed with my experience and won't be returning. The quantity may be worth the price, but the quality of the food and poor service outweigh any positives.

Received a text saying they would be open New Years Day 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and it was a lie. Been calling for 20 minutes and only recording saying they are closed. Guess Paper Lantern will get my business from now on. Also, they do not deliver even though they advertise that they do.

One of the best Chinese restaurants we have found in the DC and Baltimore area. A bit pricey but quality ingredients and generous portions make up for it.

We ordered $70 worth of food and ALL of it was bland. The fried rice had no flavor nor did the egg rolls. So disappointing!

They are a restaurant first and foremost. Absolutely great food. So great in fact that they are always receiving a lot of business, so beware that it may take some time to get your food during busy times. The staff focuses on their job and definitely gets it done. Because it's takeout their store is limited in its atmosphere, but they definitely try to keep it up.

Horrible rude customer service. Never going back. Being very very rude to me for waiting inside on a cold day when there were many seats still available she showed me an attitude saying that other customers were waiting outside. She was lying. Didn't have her facts straight. They chose to sit outside because they were smoking. And yet she blamed it on me. What customer service does not allow people to sit and wait inside on a cold day . I was only waiting 7 mins for my ride after receiving my order. It's not like i was even waiting 30 mins. I am taking my business to fast wok and have informed all my various groups I am part of which consists of around 500 people to take their business elsewhere. Fast wok has clean, friendly service and food is great. Do not go to China Taste. As an update: the food was below expectations. Not fully cooked and like I said much better Chinese food at Fast Wok and other places. But for me the customer service matters most and with the hostess being so unnecessarily rude, I have convinced many businesses who were planning to buy here for holiday lunches to go elsewhere. Once you are rude to 1 person you lose the business of many
Don’t judge them on the atmosphere. They know what they are doing and the food and value of the place is what really counts.
