I've been looking for good Chinese food since we moved and I am so lucky to have found this place. I'm not sure what the rest of Cookeville is doing but the rest of them are horrible. Even the fried rice here is good.

Very clean resturant. The woman that works the buffet area is so joyful and helpful. There are not many vegetarian options in the buffet so I'd recommend ordering from the menu, but the items I did have were very good. Pricing is reasonable

Taste Of China has always been my go-to place for Chinese food! The food is always delicious and there is a wide variety, my family's favorite is the House Special Lo Mein, its one of the few things that both of our kids enjoy! The food is always fresh, the staff is always so polite, and the service is insanely fast! I really can't emphasize how great this restaurant is.
