Taste of China

This is a solid strip mall chinese restaurant. I got the Kung Bo combination plus hot and sour soup for take out. I don't love when kung pao has the same mixed vegetables that are in every dish, which this did. That said, the veggies were fresh and cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful with a good amount of heat. It was a little lacking in chicken. The hot and sour soup was great. The broth was tasty, spicy, and it was packed full of egg, veggies, tofu, and pork. Egg roll was yummy and crispy. Fried rice was solid. The food was fresh, flavorful, and fast. I loved that the spicy dishes were actually spicy!

The food is pretty good, the service is absolutely garbage. They consistently forget your order, you pay then you’re waiting to have your food made after you gave them 20 minutes because they don’t say anything and just hope you are okay with their horrible service…. This is the 3rd time I’ve waited in this place for my food I’ve ordered well in advance. Don’t be in any hurry they don’t respect your time.

I think I'm going to start rating places to eat by Praise Reports, Or Prayer Requests, and this place is in need of some Prayer. Gave this a chance after my bad experience in James City, having finally recovered, willing to try Chinese Cuisine, I am determined to find some place that's at least 4 stars, well Taste of China looked like it might be it as it had that hidden hole in the wall feel and look, but as soon as I opened the door and was greeted by this dinning room, and order off paper sheets cafeteria style I was having a serious deja vu moment back in James City. I and Agent 113, Ordered: Egg Rolls Steamed Dumplings Beef and Broccoli Chicken Chow Mien Orange Chicken Hot and Sour Soup Teriyaki Beef Skewers Drinks are in caned form only, no alcohol. Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Orange Soda

This is what you want in a Chinese Restaurant. They have the BEST Sesame Chicken! Perfect Sauce! NO ONE has this sesame sauce, I’ve tried every Chinese Restaurant from New Bern to Morehead City. They also have an AMAZING Egg Roll, I ate it so quickly & forgot to take a picture. They are full of meat & carrot with a little cabbage. NO ONE else has them like this, Sooooo Good! I also get their Hot & Sour Soup usually $1 extra tofu, I do add Black Vinegar at home.

I don't really want to hurt this business. Unfortunately, I need to put it out there. Please as a cook and chef. Avoid their seafood. They are not cleaning it properly nor cooking it properly and bringing it to appropriate temp that is suitable for the public.
