Taste of China

This is the most authentic I've found in Murfreesboro. Very happy we found them. The atmosphere is a very typical NYC Chinese place. No frills but great food. If that bothers you, take it to go and eat on plates. You won't be disappointed. Don't forget the crab Rangoon and sliced pork. Sooooo good!

Taste of China has been a special part of my life since I was five years old. This warm, family-run restaurant has always felt like a second home. The kindness and friendliness of the family running it makes every visit inviting and comfortable. The food is consistently delicious, with authentic Chinese flavors that never disappoint. Whether it's the savory Kung Pao Chicken or the perfectly balanced Sweet and Sour Pork, each dish is a pleasure. They use fresh ingredients, ensuring quality in every bite. Beyond the amazing food, what makes Taste of China truly stand out is the genuine care they show their guests. The service is attentive, and you can feel the love they have for their work and their patrons. In short, Taste of China is more than just a place to eat—it's a treasured part of my family's story. With delightful dishes and wonderful service, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.

Just ate here for first time, and hate to say that I'm not impressed. For me, it was all very bland and flavorless. I ordered egg drop wonton and only got egg drop. My house special lo mein was not very special. Even the egg roll had no flavor. I'm depressed because I am looking for a new spot. The search continues in the Boro. I'm more of a Thai guy anyway

Tried ToC for the first time this evening after a bad experience at our regular Chinese takeout spot. Thought it was pretty good; not exceptional, but met our expectations for what we were getting.

Whole ordering experience felt rushed, first time to this place and did not feel very welcomed. My girlfriend’s order had no white sauce or crab that was supposed to be included and more vegetables than meat. Her scallops were not done cooking either. This food is going to get her sick! They did not include enough chili sauce and when I requested my meal to be spicy, it was still bland on the spice scale. Was not worth tipping extra for the service and apparently takeout quality of food.

The service was not good. The guy seemed a bit rude. The food was not good. The shrimp fried rice had a burnt taste to it and it was not flavorful. A waste of 11 dollars. First and last time going to this place

As you walk in the aromas make your mouth water, anticipating all the delicious flavors to come! The food was made quickly with no errors, which in today’s food service industry is a rare gem indeed. Although you can do carry out they have a nice sitting area. It was a pleasure to visit and I plan to go again as soon as possible.

🚫10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND🚫!! I am literally throwing away everything i ordered! My total was $31.22 !! My mother said “um yea this is nasty” . I had to basically recook my “Vegetable Lo Mein” and add my OWN SAUCES. Their noodles are so dry I almost lost my appetite looking at them. But I doctored them up and ate SOME , like 4 bites and was completely ill. My sweet n sour chicken was overcooked, looked like deep fried rat ankles. My mom got the “Bourbon chicken” , horribly bitter & bland tasting! Like the chicken looked like a smooth piece of tire tread. Terrible experience👎🏽‼️

The food is always amazing and the service is fast and friendly. Never ate at the restaurant but it appears clean. The lemon chicken and their pork egg rolls are my favorite.

Got this for lunch today and was incredibly disappointed. For 40 bucks we really didn't get that much food and the food we got was flavorless and all tasted the same. We ordered 4 pork rolls, moo shu pork, pork lo mein and sweet and sour chicken. Small portions for the price and everything just tasted like burnt oil. The chicken was more batter than chicken. Will not be coming here again and wouldn't recommend.

What is there to say but if you don't like this place you don't know good food! Just kidding but seriously this place is awesome! I've been going here for a very long time and is my family and friends go to place. I live across town which is nearly an hour away but doesn't stop us from doing a pick up order! The prices are the best in town! Their lunch menu is very affordable and good portions. I love the family that runs it and they know I love their cooking! They also do party platters which we do as well. Nothing takes long for them to whip up and you to pick it up! Always hot and tasty! This place hasn't changes in flavor or have their prices changed much over the years. Great place for quality, speed, and budget. Give it a try you'll see what I'm saying and you'll find it to be one of the best Chinese spots in town!

I have been going here since the early '90s, the family that owns it is just the absolute best! The food is always fresh, tasty and consistent. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Great fresh Chinese. Small dine in area or call in for to go. Would absolutely come back!

You absolutely need to make this a frequent spot. The food is always extremely fresh and well seasoned and flavorful, the owners are so nice and friendly and attentive and have lots of regular customers that come in and they chat and the owners talk with the regulars about how they've been which to me is amazing to see such an inter personal resteraunt. They have so many options to choose from on their menu and so many different types of food to eat. The resteraunt itself is very quaint and comfortable and has plenty of seating. Will absolutely be back for years to come

I've been eating here since I was a kid. Good chinese food in town. The owners are friendly. My go to dishes are the beef and broccoli and lobster lo mein. Both have a good amount of flavor. The portions are big enough for leftovers. I have never had a bad experience here.

Very disappointed with both the food and the service of this restaurant. I tried it the first time due to the high ratings here. BUT don't bother. They are rude on the phone and the food has gotten slowly worse over the last six months. Very Sad. I love GOOD Chinese food.

The best. Very nice family own and operated Old school kind you'd find in NYC with the giant paper menus I've never had anything I didn't love

I ordered this from door dash and was not impressed. The Chicken was overcooked and crab Rangoon was not good to me. All of it just had a different flavor than other restaurants and I was not a fan.

Taste of China has such nice employees! They are always helpful and friendly. The food is consistently delicious, but the people really make you want to come back the next time!

Amazing service and food, a nice hidden gem. Came on a holiday and I've never needed another Chinese restaurant. I usually order to go but there is inside seating. Honestly my favorite local spot!

Safe service, yes, among the best in the town. Takeout only. Face coverings in use and touches are limited. Exactly what I am looking for m--if you can't see safe with your customers, I will go elsewhere. Always friendly service and fresh made dishes. Ample servings, reasonable prices. My favorites are the pork fried rice and Triple Delight! Kung Pao Chicken is recommended too

Hole in the wall mainly cooking Chinese take-out. They do have several tables and occasionally people will dine in. The male owner (I assume he's half of the couple that own the restaurant) seems to be a character. He speaks decent english and has learned some colloquialisms that he throws in there while conversing with customers. Not a bad wait when I can sit there and listen to this! The food is quick and decent for take-out. It is made with the American palate in mind; not too spicy or out on the edge with unusual flavors or aromas. The Kung Pao is good. The Lo Mein is also good. The combo meals come with an egg roll and rice but the main course is a smaller portion. The entree meal is a larger portion and only comes with white rice. I found both meals to be filling so you will need to make a decision about what you feel like eating and order accordingly. Also, if you are coming here expecting authentic Chinese food, don't. It is a take-out place catering to the local population. It is what it is and they give the bulk of their customers what they want.

It's been a few years since I've eaten here. This was my go to place for Chinese Food. Service is great ambiance is fine. I loved the General TSOs chicken and had all their fried rice. Their egg rolls were good as well. It was reasonable price. You got what you paid for here. You could tell they cared about the customer and the quality of food they prepared.

I've been going here for 30 years. Good and consistent. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've only eaten in at this location once, but I have ordered to go probably 50 times. I love their boneless bbq pork spareribs, and the fried potstickers with hot chili oil which I take home and mix with sweet rice vinegar. The owners are always very friendly and go out of their way to do more than what is expected. I really like their attitude and kindness. Especially when many restaurants take their customers for granted. This place is always striving to please the customer and give great service. I guess I may be kind of bland because that's all I ever order here. My kids have ordered the orange chicken in the past and loved it, but we tend to stick with the things we love. Other than that, I like the fact that you get quality food at a good price

Absolutley the best Chinese food in Murfreesboro! Growing up in NY I had endless choices of authentic chinese food so I naturally looked for the right place when my family moved here. I've been going to this restaurant for seven years now and I can say it's honestly the best Chinese food and rivals any place I ever ate at down on Canal Street back home. They make it when you order from scratch so it's always really fresh, the portions are large, and the prices are good. The owners and employees are awesome! They give the best customer service, and they are fast and efficient. I don't go anywhere else. I highly recommend Taste of China to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food.

First time trying this establishment and I will definitely be using them again for takeout. Ordered beef with broccoli, fried rice and egg rolls. Everything was ready when I arrived, was hot and tasty. Will return

They give good portions, and the food is generally good but did not taste like our usual Chinese takeout.

This is the only place we get Chinese from. The food is amazing, and the portions are sized to share. We've been going here for 20+ years and it's always been consistently fresh, quick and accurate. Couldn't ask for better.

Ordered delivery and was disappointed w/ the amount spent. The food was ... bland. There was not much flavor in all the items I ordered. The fried rice barely any meat in it and was not fried much. The rice seemed to be undercooked. This town does not offer much Chinese take-out, but this one is not one of the good ones. Definitely not ordering from here again - lesson learned

Your basic chinese menu. Takeout. Ask for spicy or is pretty bland. Good and hot. Looks family run.

My family and I have been coming here for years! The food is seriously so good. The boneless ribs are spectacular. Definitely worth a try!

this food was awful. we put it in the garbage. we had chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. so we had a variety. do not waste your money.

Chinese food everything is fresh delicious and hot. Everything was super friendly and they're taking Covid precautions, definitely will be back

My husband and his family grew up eating and they raves about this place so much. I am very particular when it comes to Chinese considering I grew up with my parents owning their own Chinese restaurant for 20 years. I have to say comparing all Chinese restaurants I've ever tried in my life this place is far from what's on top of my list. I tried their pot stickers, beef and broccoli, lobster lo mein, and general tos. Pot stickers: average, would prefer them to pan fry them a little longer so it would be a little crispy on the bottom of the dumpling. Beef and broccoli: ehhh. Taste like they coat their broccoli with flour. The dish tasted very bland. Lobster lo mein: only a few pieces of lobster. Absolutely no veggies at all and very oily and bland. General tos: this was probably the only thing that I liked from here. They made it pretty on point and I like that they add small diced onions and broccoli. Overall, not my cup of tea for Chinese. Or maybe because we ordered on Christmas Day and they were swamped. Maybe they didn't want to make the food delicious tasting lol

I have been coming here for years and will continue. Food is great compared to other local takeout Chinese places! Very friendly and love the loyal customers! Highly recommend!

Maybe it was an off day for this place. Server was nice but the food was not great. Ok I guess if you are in a hurry to just grab something and go and your not particular to having freshly made food.

we'll this is the first and last for these guys chicken curry chicken under cooked along with what looked like two full onions. sweet and sour chicken looks and taste like it was cooked three days ago and refried just to heat it up. Same thing with the pork. sweet and sour sauce is mostly sour and watered down, literally like water. egg rolls taste freezer burnt then fried. Egg drop soup is decent but really oily. My family spent over 65$ for this I'll spend an hour tomorrow of work to pay for it, seriously ridiculous.

The Roast Pork w/ angel hair and sesame chicken combination was really good. I enjoyed the fried dumplings, but the dumpling sauce was a little too salty.

No not ever again! Service was sad, seriously she looked so sad! No flavor, under cooked and greasy! One and done! Never mind the smell!

I just moved to the area and haven't had Chinese take out this good in YEARS. we've only been here a few days and already have taken out food twice. It's so good!

Went looking for a takeout place and read the reviews of this one it seemed like the spot. Food was okay. Lots of veggies to meat. The guy who served was so nice and fun and helpful. He talked with us about Chinese culture and our lives and was so attentive. I wish that the food had gone better for me for his sake. But. About 45 minutes into the meal I felt a deep low grumble and you can guess what occurred shortly thereafter; lots of praying on the toilet.

Not the best Chinese food I've ever had for sure. The sauce on the General Tso's chicken was way too thick and was closer to snot in texture than a sauce. I'll give them a few stars though cause at least it was a good portion and they were really fast

Very rude employee and terrible customer service. Too many other excellent options to have to put up with this sort of thing. This customer they will not get back!

This place used to be good but our last 2 meals were not. The shrimp egg rolls were terrible and the Moo Shu was worse. House special combination fried rice was just OK. We won't be returning.

Great service, great food and great prices. My husband and I ordered take out tonight and everything was delicious. Steamed dumplings and orange chicken dinner combo were great. There were definitely more veggies than shrimp in my shrimp and snow pea dish but that's to be expected. Still tasted great. We were very full for a great price and we even had leftovers! We will definitely be back.

I love the food. I love the prices. I love the people that work here. If you want the freshest, most delicious Chinese food you've ever tasted in your life...try Taste of China! Oh, and please bring cash. I hate the thought of VISA taking one more dime from this awesome little restaurant. Support local businesses! :)

Best Chinese food anywhere. I've been coming here for 20 years. Well worth the drive across town. The beef in the beef and broccoli is always very tender. Wonton soup is the best! Everything is great. About five, ten minutes, OK?

Only place we'll go to get Chinese out here. Food is always outstanding!

We've been eating here for over 15 years. I love chatting with the restaurant owners as well. They know our whole family that goes eat there! Lol

Taste of China and Far East were the very first "Chinese" restaurants in the 'Boro. It's a mom and pop joint that has The Best "Chinese" food in this town. I've been going for years and remember watching their (now grown) little ones bring me some extra Dumpling Sauce for my egg rolls. Sure, Taste of China offers many of the same dishes found in the ubiquitous "Chinese" joint these days, but lots of their menu items do differ in some very yummy ways! Let's talk about the Pork Fried Rice. It's the Best. Anywhere. It's full of chucks of pork and veggies, and also comes standard with many dishes. Their Hot & Sour Soup is loaded with all kinds of goodies, is absolutely bursting with flavor. It's unlike any I've had anywhere else and blows them all away. I have to mention the Fried Chicken Wings... Oh wow! Not like the Colonel makes 'em. And there is definitely no sauce on them. They flavor them with some kind of magical Asian seasoning that makes me love them. Same goes for the Steak on a Stick (I think they renamed it Teriyaki)...so delicious, especially with a little dab of hot mustard. Oh, and the General Tso's Shrimp is crazy good. I could keep going... I wish I lived next door to Taste of China!

Very friendly staff, but the food wasn't great. Orange chicken wasn't what was expected and menu didn't do a very good job detailing what it was. Lesson learned, never assume how an item will be made. Sweet and sour chicken was ok, but chicken was over cooked and dry.

I've been coming here for 12 years and they have been serving consistently great food. The menu is standard Chinese take-out. I love the General Tso's chicken here. It's always crisp with a perfectly balanced sauce. The shrimp items are my second favorite. I've never had any of the beef or tofu dishes but my dinner companions seem to enjoy them very much.

Food was beyond delicious and it arrived faster than a fast food drive up! Very surprised! Vegetarian friendly too.

This is our favorite place for Chinese in the Boro. We have been going here for years. The house special angel hair noodles and sesame chicken are what we generally get. The hunan shrimp is also great dish if you are lookiMy for something a little spicy. Enjoy!

Lots of food for your money, but so far everything that we've ordered has been pretty bland. The third star is for the value, but I'm not impressed with the food so I won't be back. I'd say we've ordered here about 4 times now and it hasn't changed.
