A Taste of China

Classic American Chinese cuisine. I called in an order and it was quickly ready within 15 minutes, even with a lunch crowd starting. The lady at the counter was pleasant & inviting.
I ordered the "full order" of Empress Chicken, Hot Braised Chicken & crab rangoon. The chicken was perfectly crisp & sauces well balanced. Vegetables were fresh, bright and flavorful. The crab rangoon are made with wonton style wrapper, which makes them have a nice chewy bite. The filling has a mild authentic crab flavor that balances well with the cream cheese.

It's classic take out, well done. I'll definitely order again.

My husband wanted to celebrate his birthday here because they had unique vegan options and were extremely affordable (cheaper than most similar take-out oriented restaurants). We love Chinese food but had no idea this little innocuous place would be SO delicious. I had the hot braised tofu and he had the Mongolian tofu (see photos). Neither dish was one available in our hometown (Cincinnati, Ohio). Neither were particularly spicy, either, but both were ridiculously delicious. I had a hard time eating it slowly enough not to burn my tongue. The half dishes were $6.50 and the whole dishes were $8.50. This is among the cheapest Chinese food we've ever eaten but among the best flavor-wise. Both of us left with full and happy stomachs.

I should note that we dined in. The place was well air-conditioned, cute, comfortable aesthetic, and clean. The tables and chairs could use some updating eventually, but we personally don't care about that kind of thing. The woman at the counter was super friendly and willing to answer questions about the dishes. Dining in meant we served on real plates with real silverware, which was a surprise considering I figured we'd get take-out boxes and plastic forks. Each dish came with white rice, as is standard, and their fortune cookies were the quality ones (both of flavor and fortunes). Although we ate inside, there are some tables available outside as well.

We loved this place and wish we could transport it home. We will try to make another stop here before we leave for Cincinnati. You are lucky to have this wonderful gem of a restaurant in Fenton! A Taste of China receives my highest recommendation.

Been going here for 20 years and I've never had a bad meal or one complaint. That's something these days. Good family owned business, Jeannie & Richard always give you friendly service, and food fast with a smile. A solid community business in Affton.

I’ve been eating here for about 10 years now and I think it’s the best Chinese food in St.Louis. Get the number 18 you won’t regret it🙂

Best Chinese in the area and very affordable! Always super nice and never a long wait

Best Chinese food in SoCo... comparable to restaurants in Chicago Chinatown if not better in some cases.

One of my favorites, try the hot braised sauce sometime.

This is my favorite local Chinese restaurant in the St. Louis metro and I’ve been to these restaurants a lot.

It gets bonus points for being in an old Taco Bell, and the husband and wife are always nice.

I look forward to eating here especially after being out of town for a few weeks because of work.

No where else is A taste of China so Unique.

Been going to this place for years and the food has not changed from the first time I've been here still excellent and very good I highly recommend you stop in an try them out for yourself plus the prices are reasonable not overly expensive. They take credit n debt cards as well as you know the ever so popular $Cash$ to. The parking is adequate and the seating arrangements inside the restaurant is adequate as well it's not all that big as you would expect but it is clean and the foods awesome

Been coming here since I was a kid and still come here all the time! The best Chinese food in st. Louis and I been to plenty and nothing compares to this. The owners are the best ever! So friendly and so nice! Alot of quality food for a reasonable price and great lunch specials. Trust me, they know what there doing here! They been here since I remember and will be here plenty longer! Go try them out, promise you won't be disappointed, you'll have a new place to go and you'll start to crave the food! Would give more stars 🌟 if I could!

Great food and good prices. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere inside is fairly welcoming.

Best in Affton! We never had a bad meal in the fifteen years or so of going here.

This is my favorite Chinese food place. It's always clean and the owners are attentive and fairly nice. The rest of my family loves it as well. Kudos to a taste of China👍

This place has been my favorite place to eat since I was a kid. Best crab Rangoon and chicken fried rice. They don't put silly things like peas in it. HIGHLY recommend.

Best Chinese Restaurant around. We have been going here for years and never disappoints. Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon, Potstickers and St.Paulie Sandwich is our favorite.

Hands down our favorite location for Chinese food in the St. Louis area. Never had a bad meal or bad experience here. They have been around for a while because they serve great food and generous portions. Not a huge dining area but they do have some outdoor seating on their patio as well. Try the cashew chicken, it's fantastic!

I've been going to this restaurant for at least 20+ years. I enjoy the food very much. The owners take a justified pride in their business and the food shows that pride. Their prices are very reasonable and service fast considering it's made to order. They do practice safety routines.

They do have dining room to sit down and eat.. cashew chicken and lemon chicken was delicious ..

The food is amazing and high quality. I love their Lo Mein and egg drop soup. The price is very reasonable. Really friendly owners. Definitely prefer this restaurant than China Garden on Mackenzie.

Amazing and very friendly staff and amazing food! Hands down best Chinese food I have found in the STL area! Definitely has been my go to for the last 3 years since finding this place!

Went to Taste of China again. After more than 20 years of going here...same constant great service and exceptional food. I would NEVER go anywhere else for Chinese food. Highly recommend.
