"Another Duluth Chinese restaurant staple is Taste of China. Order everything from Xi’an cold sesame noodles, spicy hot pots, and twice cooked pork to fish in black bean sauce, moo goo gai pan, and lobster with scallion sauce. Indulge in half and whole portions of Peking duck, too, which comes with a side of perfectly crispy skin served with all the traditional accoutrements and fluffy bao." - Michael Tran, Eater Staff

My first time here with the family. Heard do many good things about the restaurant. Overall, the good was good. Service was a little slow, maybe because it’s family owed or something. It took a very long time for us to get some more tea. But it’s a small restaurant, cozy. I like the walnut shrimp dish. Peking duck was also delicious. I will be back to try the rest of the menu

Food is authentic and always hits the spot—you really need to try the Mongolian beef, and the crab is excellent too. The chef is very friendly and usually comes out to greet you, which adds a nice personal touch. Service can be mixed at times, but one thing I appreciate is that they actually have more bigger tables than small ones, so it’s great for groups or family meals. Overall, definitely worth a visit for the food and the welcoming atmosphere!

If you are looking for a restaurant that serves authentic chinese food in Duluth, you should definitely try Taste of China! I highly recommend the fried pork Fuzhou Style 荔枝肉! Wonderfully crispy, crunchy and savory! If you would like to try a dish that is sweet, sour and fried, this is definitely a must! Another dish that tastes really good is the crab with sweet sticky rice but it’s a bit on the pricier side. The other foods are good too!

4-17-25 Once again this restaurant still offers the best authentic Chinese good anywhere. You gotta give them a try. Your taste buds will thank you. Undoubtedly the best tasting Chinese food in Atlanta. Crispy roasted duck, lamb with vegetables and shrimp with broccoli were prepared for this lunch feast. Moderately priced this place is a jewel located in Duluth, Ga.

The young waitress was VERY nice and pleasant. One of the cooks asked me how everything was. There was no one in the establishment but me. I didn't feel welcome. The other cook came out several times and didn't really look my way. There was another waitress there that didn't address/acknowledge me. (Eyes glued to her phone the entire time). It's a beautiful place and should be represented as such. Tip: When someone enters your place of business it's VERY important to make them feel welcome so they'll tell others about their positive experience (unless that is you don't want anyone to come in). And always be professional. I entered the Taste of China around 4:30 pm on 04/17/2025 and because of how uncomfortable I felt while dining I won't return. Taste of China make sure ALL your guests feel welcome and appreciated for choosing your establishment to eat in. Being that the waitress was great I left her a tip and a note thanking her for her great customer service!!!

Just saw other people review and I want to add here I tried to not think that what it is but it seems this place is RACIST, my husband is American he walked in first with our kids, and my mom and I go in after. My husband feel we not get service because we are not Chinese enough for them. I tried to not think that way but now I am. First time dining in and we are not impressed with the service and attitude. I am Chinese we go eat out to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I found this restaurant on the search so decided to give it a try. When arrived there, a couple of tables just left so they tried to clean the tables, it small restaurant. We wait by the door until one girl sits us down at the table right by the door. We got the menu, looked through it, and waited for someone to come so we could order drinks and food. We had been waiting for a while they seemed busy cleaning the other table about 20 minutes later, we still waiting, and the other two parties came in. They didn't make reservations like us. They have a menu and plates. Then 5 minutes later, the server lady go take their orders. Meanwhile, we still have not be able to order anything they totally ignored us. I have to call the guy that cleaning the table near by and let him know we been here for 30 minutes already and she has not come to get our order and just take other people first. So he call her....but this what she said "oh are you ready to order?" I told her yes and we been waiting and no one come to take orders. She said "oh I don't know, I go whomever call me first" I said " lhow you not know you saw us sit here before they come, you guys the one sit us on this table" Then she take our orders....I thought if the food was good I would let it go. The food is good, everything we ordered is good..... But ....when the first dish comes which is the Peking duck. And this is what she said " Here someone ordered it but I give you first okay" and repeated it two times with attitude. I have been I don't need that attitude and that is not how it is supposed to be if they learn how to manage the restaurant and take care of the customers by ordering who seats first, these issues will not happen from the beginning. If it is in different situations that other parties come later but are ready to order, that I understand. But in this situation, we have been waiting to order before they came and NO ONE came to take orders.

The roast duck here is the real deal here. This place feels like a hidden gem because of the small plaza it’s in. Between my girlfriend and I, we got the mapo tofu , half a duck , and bokchoy . All the dishes were outstanding. Definitely a restaurant that’s worth going to if your ever craving authentic Chinese .

do not go into this restaurant if you’re a person of color or are coming with people of color - the servers are definitely racist. the atmosphere was horrible, there’s literally no music and we just heard the sounds of the heater running. the servers had a demeanor to them that made us very uncomfortable, almost like they didn’t want us there. super unwelcoming. even though the food was good, the atmosphere was so bad that it made the food taste worse. some of the food was lukewarm and seemed microwaved. the prices were way too expensive for this type of service and food quality. do not come here.

Went yesterday afternoon for late lunch. Ordered 4 dishes to share - Braised Pork Belly, Hong Kong style lobster, Szechuan Chicken, & Beef and Vermicelli in hot pot. The portion sizes are big so we had leftovers to take home. Favorites were the lobster and chicken because they were so flavorful. The beef and vermicelli was okay not what we were expecting. The braised pork belly was too salty. Overall decent food and would come back just for lobster and to try other dishes.

This place is pretty tasty and it's a little crowded when they're packed because the place has a lot more tables than it has space for I feel? But it's rare it's 100% packed, plus they do take reservations if you call. Here are some of my recommendations: Cold Mixed Bamboo Salad We'll start with an easy one. A refreshing one! This dish is a refreshing dish - made with bamboo shoots, black beans, dried red peppers and more! This is one of my favorites - the bamboo shoots are very tender and there's a slight crunchiness to it! Eggplant with Chicken and Salted Fish in Hot Pot This dish is also often times called Eggplant Clay Pot in a lot of Cantonese restaurants - it's one of my favorite dishes. It's super flavorful! The only thing is it's a little more salty here than at other restaurants I've been to. But if you don't mind - go on ahead - the flavor is great! Sliced Beef in Spicy Chili Oil One of my favorite dishes ever is this Sichuan dish - there's Sliced Beef in Spicy Chili Oil or Sliced Fish in Spicy Chili Oil! We went with the beef this time. String Bean with Minced Pork A traditional Chinese dish is this veggie side dish - string/green beans with minced pork. They did ask us if we were okay with the minced pork which made me feel like if we said no, they could make customizations btw. Roasted Crispy Duck (Half) You can order this as a WHOLE roast duck also - however, I went with just my mom and we were definitely not even going to finish the half duck, so that's what we went with.

Tucked away in the corner of a not super well lit plaza located away from the main thoroughfare of Pleasant Hill Road, it's really easy to drive by and completely miss this restaurant. However, if you do manage to find it, they actually serve up some pretty good eats. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is actually better than how it looks on the outside. Large family style tables perfect for sharing a meal. I decided to order some of their more unique menu items like the Pumpkin in Salted Egg and the Mountain Yam and Mushroom Clay Pot. Both were excellent dishes. The fried pumpkin was crispy on the outside with that salty egg dusted on top while the inside was soft and fluffy. The mountain yam and mushrooms had excellent spice and is excellent with white rice. However, just know that like many Chinese restaurants, service is definitely not a strong suit. I went around 8pm and there was maybe one other table in the restaurant. But service was incredibly slow and dishes didn't start getting to our table until almost 40 minutes after ordering. So I guess if you have time to burn, you won't mind being here at all. But overall, it's still a pretty good restaurant. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try more items. Just make sure you have a lot of time on your hands haha.

The food was good. It had great flavor. The service was amazing. The ambiance was perfect. Will go back. We were able to share each dish because the portion was huge.

Taste of China was amazing! Every time I go, the food is so, so good! I definitely recommend the Mapo Tofu and Fried Shrimp with Spicy Garlic Sauce. The service was great. They always recommend the Peking Duck, but I wouldn't say it is worth the price. The meals are a great size and price for sharing, plus free parking!

Taste of china .. or you should call it taste of money ????? I would give zero star if I could . Maybe I didn't work hard enough ???? I can never imagine a sour cabbage fish can cost $90 .... lol what ? And the owner said because I look good so he gave me $10 off ?????? He said the fish is $40 / pounds Ewwww like what is this fish made of gold ? Are you being serious ? I didn't ask price because at first I didn't consider the price is a big deal they didn't mark the price in the menu or else I Would never order a ' gold fish ' like this . Today I'm totally disappointed because I only get 2 dish and it's $165 in total , and also the fish is plain and no flavor at all . I will never come back at all

Taste of China was a random treasure find when the husband and I were looking for a place to grab dinner while visiting Spaland. The restaurant sits in the same quiet complex with a handful of other Asian restaurants, and I do want to emphasize the word 'quiet'. Most of the eateries here - Taste of China included - have their windows layered with a reflective, one-way sheen and there are no loud decorations or banners that try to lure hungry passersby through the door. Still, we ventured in, a fateful choice that led to a most delightful dinner. Before we even ordered, our waitress brought two small bowls of free apps - deep fried and salted peanuts, along with some pickled radish. As we munched happily through these bowls, we poked around the menu a little blindly, jabbing a hopeful finger to our waitress at things that looked promising. In the end, we settled on the mapo tofu and sizzling black pepper beef. The mapo tofu was a satisfyingly spicy and saucy, rich with soft tofu cubes and ground pork and finishing with the telltale numbing sensation of Szechuan peppercorns. It was a wonderful counterpoint to the slightly sweet and unctuous sizzling beef, which was a revelation of an entree. It arrived on a hot cast iron platter, with beef pieces so tender that our teeth sank effortlessly into them. Every table's order is accompanied by a generous order of rice that we didn't think we would finish, but by the end of the meal, there wasn't a single grain left. Service throughout our meal was prompt and efficient without any kind of hovering. We were seated at one of few small tables in the restaurant, because most of the interior is dedicated to larger round tables with lazy Susans, presumably for family dinner affairs. I won't deign to pretend expertise on Chinese cuisine, but I know when my taste buds are happy, and they were certainly dancing with delight after our chance meal here. Moral of the story - sometimes it pays to take a chance on the unassuming hole-in-the-walls.

Pretty good, the kitchen knows what they are doing and does cater to different "tastes" of Chinese provinces. Almost a hidden gem per the ATL standard, but a candidate to be a regular for avid Chinese cuisine fans who had 'em better at other, bigger Chinese community locations including the mainland of course. Should be a go-to destination for that random yet urgent craving for something that feels a bit more authentic. Everything pretty decent; good kousuji, meaty clams and fresh veggies for stir-fries, braised tofu to name a few. Pork dishes are not porky and controlled. Roasted poultries were on a dryer side, so wouldn't bet on those. Good job, Taste of China -

If you don't know, good, authentic Chinese food will carry a 3-star rating. If you're unfamiliar with this, drop me a line. Taste of China weighs in at 3.8. It's phenomenal! This place is legit the best Chinese food I've ever had. I think it edges out Canton Cooks in my list of favorites -- which is impressively hard to do. I won't bother carrying you through all of the dishes. There wasn't anything I tried that I didn't think was great -- ranging from authentic to American Chinese. All so good. I will add that the jajangmyeon here is the best I've had. You know when you get the kind with running brown-colored sauce? That is not what is happening here. It was straight-up amazing. Be prepared for family-style dining here. Most of the tables are round with a lazy Susan in the middle for easy access.

After my first visit I think this is the best Chinese restaurant in town. It is a bit pricey $20+/entree but it's meant to be family style portions so bring friends/friends with you! The duck chin was life changing and I LOVED the spicy garlic pork 鱼香肉丝.

I'm always a little hesitant to try restaurants with the word "China" in it. But obviously I'm a little biased (iykyk). But we decided to take a chance since Jusgo food court was closed on Chinese New Year and our next option was Taste of China. And it's become our Chinese family style meal of choice over the past year. I've been many times now and can safely say it's a solid Chinese restaurant in Atlanta, given our limited legit options. Crab & Fish Maw soup is a must. Don't be deterred by what "maw" is. If you're Chinese, you drink up that delicacy and don't think twice. Peking Duck is also a must. You can order duck two ways - Peking Duck with steamed buns or crispy roast duck (similar to what you would get at a Chinese BBQ storefront). I wish you could order a half order of Peking Duck in the same way as a half order of crispy roast duck, but it's worth ordering even with a smaller group - take the rest home as leftovers! I recently also was a huge fan of the sautéed clams in black bean sauce. Not a single grain of sand was to be found when biting into each piece of meat, which is a definite no-no for the rest of the platter when it's usually found. And the flavors were on point. Pro tip: if it's your birthday, let them know and they will bring you complimentary peach buns (red bean filling)! There are so many other dishes to choose from and the menu has gorgeous pictures to help you choose what you're looking for. Service is lackluster. I think the servers are a bit lazy and there aren't enough servers on the weekends. I've gotten pretty rude attitudes and responses from various servers, which was embarrassing in front of my parents. Definitely don't recommend this restaurant for their hospitality, that's for sure. I also don't recommend a meal here if you're in a rush or looking for a quick bite, especially on a weekend. There are usually multiple bigger groups here on the weekend and that can cause the kitchen to get super backed up, since they seem to cook in a first in, first out order. Overall, Taste of China is my go-to Chinese family style dinner restaurant in Duluth, particularly for Peking Duck.

The reviews that complain about the prices at Taste of China simply do not understand what it costs these days for a restaurant to consistently turn out top-quality food using top-quality ingredients. You go to McDonald's, you pay X for a double cheeseburger, you eat it, and it fills some space in your stomach without too much complaint from your palate. You go to In-n-Out Burger, you pay 2X for a double cheeseburger that tastes 4 times better, you eat it, it truly satisfies your palate, and it gives you something to recommend when your mates ask "Where should we go to eat?" So why would anyone in their right mind go to a prestige burger joint and pay 5X for a truly great double cheeseburger that is 20 times better than McDonalds? Simple: BECAUSE IT'S TWENTY TIMES BETTER THAN MCDONALD'S! If you've spent your entire life eating McDonald's then that $17 double cheeseburger will give you Sticker Shock, but it's not like you didn't see the price before you ordered it, right? That doesn't seem to be the case with some reviewers of Taste of China. The ones who complain the loudest didn't do the Napkin Math before ordering, or they didn't ask what the Market Price was that day. That isn't the restaurant's fault, it's theirs. And as for the quality of the food, NEVER listen to ANY review based on takeaway (take out) orders, because all takeaway food is ruined by the time it reaches the hapless customer. Trapped high-humidity heat overcooks the food, condensation of that vapor drips off the cover into the food and waters it down, it turns Crispy into Soggy and Crunchy into Squish, it waters down the delicious glazes so they drip off the food into the bottom of the container into a watery soup, and it is not the optimum temperature as served in the restaurant. Enough said about misguided reviewers. And now for a NOT misguided reviewer who has been to Taste of China many times. Taste of China is a lovely restaurant with excellent food that is reasonably-priced within its elevated culinary tranche. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for "the Chinese restaurant where mostly Chinese people go" to share a feast with their friends, family, and colleagues. The table next to us had 13 very pleased diners with many, many dishes -- or emptied serving platters, I should say. The rest of the restaurant patrons were Chinese, too. We were the only white, black, and biracial people there. So many indicators of excellence! My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the Xiangtan Spicy Stir-Fried Pork and the Cumin Beef. My wife, who runs screaming if you even so much as show her a picture of a hot pepper, thoroughly enjoyed the Sweet and Sour Pork Chops and the Mongolian Beef, as did my son and I, even though it didn't have the hot spices we love. We all shared the Fried Pork Dumplings, which were perfectly crisp and the fillings savory and aromatic with the perfect amount of salt. And a special note about the rice. In most Chinese restaurants, the person who draws the Short Straw has to make the rice, which is an eye-rolling burden to them: in the big rice cooker dump in rice to about here, pour in water to about there, close the lid, push the button. What comes out is, undeniably, rice. It's just poorly made rice. The rice at Taste of China was cared for. Someone made it with a precise process and a choice rice that was washed just the right amount, carefully measured, and cooked with the exact amount of water specified in their recipe. I can taste the evidence of it consistently every time I dine there. They really do care about the quality of the rice they cook and serve. It's the perfect balance of separate grains, just the right amount of adherence to each other to make eating with chopsticks easy, and a texture that isn't soggy like it is in every other Chinese restaurant. $110 plus a $28 tip for a $138 total, for a meal and service that was a pure delight on my 63rd birthday. Taste of China is now our go-to default restaurant when we either want Chinese food or can't decide what kind of food we want. That way we are guaranteed a delicious meal every time. Thank you, Master Chef, for the best quality food. You have proved that talent and experience have great worth, and you stand out from the culinary crowd. And thank you, Wenjie and Junyi, for your outstanding service. Quality service really helps make the meal a delight rather than a frustration. I really do hope you'll visit Taste of China when you want a truly great experience at a price that is fair to everyone.

As others have noted the food is good. Good, not great. A few dishes (minced pork and beans) were a bit over salted but I can't complain much about the food. But we called ahead for a reservation for Peking duck. We confirmed for Peking duck. It was Christmas, after all. And when we got here, no Peking duck. A few other items that appear on their website aren't in the menu either. No soup dumplings, for example, despite a picture. And the service was absolutely terrible. Slow, disjointed, unorganized. It took forever just to get water, drink service continued to be slow and it never improved. Food was very slow and came out in no logical order at all. The only instance of attentive service was when I asked for the check. It really doesn't matter how good a dish is. If it sits alone on the table next to an empty water glass and without any other sides, it's not a good dish. We will not be back.

1 of the most impressive, true, and authentically taste of the genuine Chinese flavors that is rare to find anymore. You are quite lucky, Duluth!! What really impressed us the most is how engaged the Head Chef of the restaurant was while we were there. He came and asked us if we wanted to try the fresh oysters & tofu dish that he just put together. All of the oysters were large & plump in size, with the silken tofu in a light, brown sauce. Then five other dishes later, came MY FAVORITE dish, the Jajangmyeon, OMG......., it was SOOOOOOOOOOO DELIGHTFUL!! Sorry to all other Korean restaurants that I've eaten in the past with this dish, the Taste of China have gotten you beaten. What really impressed me was how the sauce were all stuck to the noodles, not saucy nor runny like all others in the past 36 years of my adult life of eating Jajangmyeon. Plus, what I love most was how you can practically taste that wok which he cooked it in, YES!!! Big time kudos to you, Chef! Can't wait to come back up here to find with you again, sometime soon (We are from Orlando, FL areas). Sorry for not having any pictures nor videos of the dishes for you to see....

Their bun and pecking duck are very tasty. I think one of the best of not the best in the area of Duluth and metro Atlanta. I have only tried the pecking duck, but people tell me their other stuff are really good too. More like Chinese food than Korean, but their Jjampong and Jjajangmyon looks yummy. The interior is not that fancy, but lots of people seemed to be enjoying their food and drinks.

I'm surprised I hadn't been to this restaurant until recently. This was a fantastic dining experience and based on my recent experience, this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Atlanta area. We went here for Chinese New Year. One special thing about Taste of China is that it truly is a taste of China. Unlike many restaurants in the area that specialize in a specific region, typically Sichuan, Taste of China has great dishes from regions all over China. I would highly recommend the Peking Duck! I've been looking for good Peking duck for a while, and I was satisfied with how well they made it. Not as good as some places in China, but it definitely fulfilled my craving. The portion for the snow pea tips and cold garlic cucumber was also very large and made me excited to eat vegetables. The crab fried rice was fresh. We saw them take the live crab out of the tank, go to the kitchen, and come back with a fresh plate of crab fried rice. The live fish was also fresh and delicious. Most of the seating consists of large tables meant for sharing food with larger group sizes. For 13 people, the price was about $500-$600. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

I'm not a huge fan of Chinese cuisine, but I checked out this restaurant with friends who absolutely loves the food here. Their steamed fish dish (I forgot to photograph) has some heat to it and tastes delicious. I also loved the steamed cabbage dish (forgot to take a photo, too). I would avoid the spicy chicken dish (pictured) as the meat was so hard to chew and lacked flavor. Their mixed veggie with seafood dish (pictured) was alright; the seafood is super chewy, but I enjoyed the range of veggies.

I dined at Taste of China on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 4 pm. The interior of the restaurant looked cleaner than most Chinese restaurants I've been to, which is reassuring during these unprecedented times of pandemic. Even though this restaurant looked empty after peering through the windows, I was willing to give place a try because I was craving for peking duck. Appetizers: The cold mixed bamboo shoots had nice flavors with a kick of spiciness, which I'd recommend. Also you can't go wrong with a simple cucumber salad either. Entrees: The presentation of the Peking duck was nice. The cook on the duck wasn't great since the meat was too soft. However, the skin was crispy which is quintessential for Peking duck. I was disappointed when the Peking duck was served with bao because authentic Peking duck is supposed to be serve with spring-pancake. The stir fried flat noodles with beef was disappointing. There was hardly any flavor in there, despite looking promising. The side of stir fry bok choy was very oily and unappetizing. The clams with black bean sauce had good flavor, but the clams were small and had very little meat. I wouldn't recommend it given how pricey that dish was. Service was good and attentive, which is expected for an empty dining. Food came out quickly. This restaurant has a big menu, but if they refined their dishes, I think this restaurant has a lot of potential.

Food was meh! Customer service was nice and friendly. Ordered to go on a Saturday night before closing. Yelp let me down. First they listed their hours wrong. Midnight closing but when I called they close at 11 so I had like ten minutes to place my order to go and get to the restaurant. Plenty of parking. Everything I ordered was a waste: 1) cream cheese fried wontons/crab Rangoon- OK 2) egg drop soup- water tasted strange 3) pork egg roll- thick fried coating and didn't care for the filling 4) yang chow fried rice- terrible not seasoned and lacking on the meats (ham and small shrimp). I asked for spicy and it was still bland and looking plain. I'm used to some oil, color and flavor and also real Chinese sausage. I was in the area. Wanted Korean BBQ but they too had misleading hours so I missed the restaurant because kitchen closed earlier than expected. Decided on Chinese instead and Googled this restaurant based on the four star reviews. Maybe other dishes fare better here but everything I ordered are staple Chinese dishes and if they can't get those right why would I swing back around to try others? I will stick to what I know: Chef Wu in Roswell and Lucky Thai (N Druid Hills area)

The service attitude is very bad. No one paid attention to me when I entered the door. The waiter also discriminated against others. I entered the restaurant with several strangers and ordered at the same time. They served the food very quickly, and we didn't get the food until they finished eating. And the service in this restaurant is extremely poor. Don't go to this restaurant. This experience is too bad.

Quite delicious, fresh and abundant authentic Chinese food! The staff was very friendly and the place was super clean. We came here after 9:30 on Friday after another restaurant refused to seat us (and got lucky). The food: (4.7/5) For appetizer we had the shaved tofu which was very interesting and complex in texture and flavor. Would recommend! 5/5 We got the spicy fried chicken (5/5) which was very crunchy outside and tender inside. Good mix of vegetables. The spicy cumin lamb (which is not lamb but actually beef) was crispy and tasty but not supper spicy or cumin-y. Sounds evident but It does taste like beef and not lamb be advised! 4/5 The green beans with pork were scrumptious and so tasty! Perfectly cooked and flavored 5/5. The tea was also good, but not free though. The service: 5/5 (they warmed up to us ;) ) As I mentioned the place was very clean and spacious. Their decor is nice and the place was nicely set up. Overall this was a very good and unexpected experience, we had extra boxes of delicious food and were quite satisfied.

There were many tables open, but we still waited 20 minutes and no one attempted to sit us. They told us to keep waiting, so we left.

Came here for a weeknight dinner with a big group. We had a reservation so there was no wait. We had over 10 people in our group and they sat us in two separate tables next to each other. The space is big, open, and clean. Taste of China is an authentic Chinese restaurant. They serve food family style. Our group ordered several dishes from soup, soup buns, to eggplant, duck, and more. We ordered plenty of food and they were all consumed. The portions are generous and the food seasoned well. No complaints from anyone. The service was great. Will definitely return!

Overall 5/5: This place is my family's new spot for traditional family-style Chinese food. It's open late and so convenient for my family that gets out of work late. It is tucked in a little plaza hidden away, so you definitely have to keep your eye out for it. Food 5/5: Everything is piping hot when it comes out. We of course ordered a bunch of food to share, but the star was the salt pepper squid. We ended up having to order another one. I've been craving salt pepper squid, but hadn't found any places that make it as good anymore. This place probably has the best in Georgia. We also got the lobster, black bean clams (so so good), crab, seabass, scallops, crispy birds nest noodle, and snow pea tips. They really mean it when they say if you want seafood, they have it. You know the place is going to be good when they have the fish tanks in the front. Service 5/5: Great, everything comes out fast. The servers are attentive and will get you whatever without having to ask twice. They are polite and friendly. Environment 5/5: Very clean inside. It is very nicely decorated. Easy parking, nice and spacious inside. Great for groups! Thank you, Taste of China!

Came here on a Sunday. It wasn't busy at all & we were greeted quickly. They have paper menus without pictures & a menu book that has pictures. It came in handy when looking at their list of specialty items. I went with a more traditional entree being it was my first time there (pics below) & we were getting take out. I'm looking forward trying some of their specialty items but prefer to do so when dining in. Everything tasted fresh & seasoned well. I'd order the same dishes again expect the BBQ Bun. It was my first time trying them & I think I'd prefer a filling that's not as sweet.

Taste of China is an authentic Chinese restaurant at a small shopping plaza behind Walmart in Duluth. Menu selections are wide, though dish qualities are not consistent. Services are extremely slow and rude. Our wait time is 45 mins to sit down at a table and another hour for our food to arrive after we submit our orders. I took two stars off from rude service and inconsistent dishes. Plenty of free parking is available in front of the restaurant. Due to Mother's Day, we are supposed to receive a free appetizer. The servers promised multiple times to bring over the cold noodles, but ended up forgetting. How disappointing! Of the four dishes we ordered, we recommend two dishes (1. House Special Stir Fry and 2. Steamed Scallops), while wouldn't recommend the two others (1. Steamed egg custard with razor claims and 2. Qioangshan Tofu). The House Special is highly recommended. It includes chives, fried squid, shrimps and peanuts. The steamed scallops is served with vermicelli, which is very flavorful as well. Taste of China in fact offers some solid dishes. I would go back only during slower days when the waitress has nothing much to do.

Consistently good in portions and flavor. My go-tos are the chicken and broccoli and beef lo mein.

I grew up working in my family's Chinese carryout. My mom and dad would go to places like this on their celebratory nights with family. This place is a gem. No doubt about it. Every dish is made exactly how it's supposed to be made. Someone is very talented and knows their craft in the kitchen. I can tell. Place is always busy. Dishes are north of $20 because they are fairly large portions and made with care. The pan fried noodle dishes are large and can feed multiple people. Sauce is so good it's almost drinkable on its own. The vegetables are significant and not cooked to mush. The meat is soft and melt's in your mouth with a slight char taste. Means the woks are well seasoned and fire is really hot. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop is the best I have ever had, and I have had it on both coasts Washington DC to California. Slices are not too large and not too thin. Perfectly seasoned and juicy. Easy to bite. We have had lobster before but not today. It was $95 for two ! No, skip, even though we had it cheaper there before. It's really good and lobsters are hefty but again it's $95...tried the mao bao tofu, which was super soft and sauce was perfect consistency. Only thing is, mao bao is meant to be spicy, I get it, but this one had the Szechuan numbing spice like hot pot. It's good for those who like to numb their mouths ! Finally on this visit, we had the Walnut Shrimp. Omg. Can't get better than this for this dish. Extremely large shrimp, they don't play around, perfect batter shell and thick creamy sauce that sticks to the shrimp without melting off later. A slight hint of lemon juice and served with firm green broccoli. Can't get any better , order it and you'll know what I mean. Service was attentive and no nonsense . Crowd was loud and having fun throughout the dining room , probably because the food is just spectacular! Looking forward to my future trips to Taste of China, they have a large menu with tons to try!

Service is horrible . We sat for an hour and half before we got any service while sitting . Had to ask for water after getting our meals . Would not recommend to dine here. Food was good but not worth the treatment we got from the staff .

The food was great. Got authentic Chinese food, not your average Panda Express. They have family style portion so it great to come with family and friend. It's a little on the pricier side. Lack of service.

This place is such a GEM! It's located in a plaza where almost all the restaurant or businesses are Korean. We were skeptical when mother in law wanted to come here since her friend took her here prior and she was impress. We were the first table there since we came when they first open. The server greeted us right away and they sat us at a big circle table even though we only had 4 people. They were super nice and detail when hubby and I had lots of questions since it was our first time there. Mother in law already know she wanted lobsters and we just need to figure out what else we wanted to eat beside the lobster. We also ordered the house stir fry and the fried pumpkin. Oh my buddha, it was so so good. The house stir fry I believe has shrimp, squid, mixed veggies and another item that I can't put my thoughts around. It was so tasty and it goes so well with rice. I ate at least two bowls of rice before the lobster even come out. Lets talk about the lobster, it was so so good. It was one of the best Hong Kong style lobsters that I had in years and the rice was so new and good that I have to give a chef kisses. We did noticed one thing that we didn't like which was we get a different menu versus a non Chinese speaker. I'm doomed if I do come here without hubby. I do not speak the language and I do not know how to order the items that we ate. Until next time!!! Peace

Over priced Chinese food. I would rather go to canton house or royal Chinese who is around the corner. Steam chicken for 50$!!! And Peking sick for $65!! Nuts. Not going to come back. Food is not that great for those prices

Food is actually decent, which I hate saying because the service was so effing bad. The customers who came in after our group got they're order taken and their food before us. I tried waving the waitress over multiple times, she acknowledge me but decided to clean tables. We decided to leave and take the food with us, but we noticed they forgot one of our dishes. I heard the service is usually not this bad, but oh well.

Would never ever step foot in this facility again. I understand the restaurant can get busy especially during weekends or holidays but that is no excuse to be rude to you customers. I made reservations ahead of time for a party of 10 (three being kids) and when we arrived she wrote down only 8 people total. Which is fine I said can we just add some chairs and she kept insisting we told her eight. After we sat down I asked for the extra chairs and they rudely said HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING ? First of all, it's a round table we had a lot of room to fit some guest as the kids were tiny. The table next to us was super nice and just gave us their extra chairs. After an hour of sitting down, they still did not take our order, and we even waived down two servers to let them know we are ready ( we even said it in Chinese so they understood us) but they proceeded to stand in the back and eat their pastry while we were patiently waiting to order. Ordered about 11 dishes and the last veggie dish didn't come until an hour and half later. Food use to be decent and I would throw birthday dinners for my family here. Service was always slow nothing new but this place is not only overpriced now but they need to learn how to be nicer to their customers. We didn't get an smiles until we paid for the check And I still tipped 20% for the third server that finally took our order. Do yourself a favor and take your money somewhere else

OK, let's begin with the food. Adequate at best. The place was not busy and still we waited for an hour to get the first part of our 3 plate meal. My guess is there is only one chef and he doesn't want to hire anybody to help so he/she can suck up all of the profits. Anybody rating this place highly is only doing so because they think if you are paying a high price you must be getting something special. Well, they're right. The special is your wallet served up on a platter. You can get better food at lower prices with better service just on the other side of I-85 along Pleasant Hill. Maybe a whole 3 miles away from this misnamed Taste of China. In terms of the waitresses I truly feel sorry for them as they are taking the heat that should be applied to the chef and or owner. When you ask about what is happening with your meal the only response seems to be, "They're cooking now." Does not mean they are cooking your meal now. Could be that they are waiting Xi Jinping to show up before the chef gets it together. Here's a hint, Xi has better places to eat at than this over priced dive. Oh, and in case anyone wants to offer the opinion that I do not know good Chinese cuisine, try on the FACT that my wife is Chinese and is very well respected for her skills with a wok or pretty much any other cooking utensil. And even she said this place blows. So sadly for the losers who ranked this place highly, you're not that good at picking oriental restaurants.

We had an amazing early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered steamed sea bass, clam with black bean sauce, seafood soup and half roast duck. I think the chef is a master in his sauces. Everything was cooked in perfection with amazing sauce. He added jalapeños with black bean sauce on the clams and it gave an amazing kick to the flavor. The sauce on the steamed fish was so aromatic! That was a meal so satisfying and we will be back before we leave Georgia. For some credible background, I'm of Cantonese Chinese descent and I definitely knows what's good authentic Cantonese style food is. For those who are expecting American Chinese food/Korean Chinese food- this is not the place! Even if your spouse is half Chinese like mine or fully Chinese doesn't mean they are an expert in ALL Chinese food. There are many types of Chinese culinary cuisines. So to be fair, one should not lump all Chinese food in one category as there are many types and depends on what the Chef's speciality is and also what type of Chinese food you prefer. For Cantonese dishes, this restaurant nailed it! I'll be back for more!

Foods taste is okay but takes at least 30min~1hr. Made a reservation at 7:00pm but still waiting for food (it's 7:53pm now, all tables are occupied)

I've eaten in the best Chinese restaurants from LA (being that I was born and raised in Cali) and this place is by far in my top 3 best Chinese, if not THE BEST Chinese I've had. None of the food is e v. v. Vvvxcessively flavored, mild but so delicious, and all the fried food is fried to perfection and so tender and juicy. The Peking duck, I've had numerjous btimes and it's alwaysvj j

Amazing and delicious food. Restaurant is very clean and roomy. Food came out hot and fresh. Authentic family style Chinese dinning. Will definitely come again!

Food is not bad but please make sure to ask them to repeat your order. Take a picture or write down the price. Otherwise you'll be surprised when the bill comes. They have marked up the price which I think way higher than any other Chinese restaurants in the area.

Went here for the first time today and can honestly say it's one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. The food was fresh and delicious. The pricing was fair for the portion sizes. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Can't wait to come back!

This is probably the best Chinese food I've had since arriving in Atlanta this year. Food was tasty and not too sweet and overly saucey. Portions were not huge but decent and filling. They had great variety and tasted the most authentic compared to other restaurants in the greater Atlanta area. Will definitely be back when other Chinese friends come to visit from out of town again. My family tends to have taste buds that lean towards Cantonese cuisine so we'll be searching for good canto restaurants as well

This is another Chinese restaurant that offers newer dishes. It's closer to what people in China are eating nowadays - not 20 years ago. Food: - we ordered a fried noodle (standard food to order when we have kids with us), steamed egg with clam, sweet sour pork chop and sour soup beef. - steamed egg with clam is a comfort food for me but I can't make it at home. It's very different to get the timing right. - fried noodles and sweet sour pork chop are better than the other Cantonese restaurants. Less oily and more flavorful. - sour soup beef is too sour for me. It has lemon in the soup. I prefer the same fish at Good Harvest but I can imagine some people would love this dish. Service: - standard Chinese restaurant service. We were there a bit earlier for lunch and everyone was eating at the next table.

Food is decent but the people who's working there are so rude and dishonest and will try to rip you off when they get a chance!
