Customer Reviews
If your main interest is a very clean dining environment with exceptional service and great presentation, then this is the place. If flavorful food is your primary interest, then this is not the place. Neither the egg roll nor the crab Rangoon had the flavor I have loved in so many other restaurants. There were two other people with me who felt the same way about the lack of flavor. The presentation of the food was amazing. It just did not translate into the taste of the dishes. The brown sauce with my entree was good by not great. Again, it is a lack of robust flavors that make these meals meh. Be careful when adding egg roll and desert to your entree, the price increase may seem nominal but it adds up quick. Dinner for three befoe tip was $105. I think that is a lot for chinese cuisine.
Frank and his staff are absolutely amazing. The exceptional member service and quality of food are outstanding. Frank and his staff continue to remember your name, know some of your favorite dishes, and even recommend some new favorites. I'm so fortunate to have Great Taste so close to my work and home, and I consider this establishment one of my personal favorites for dine in or carry out. Thanks so much Great Taste for your fantastic and efficient service always.
Great Taste has been a Go-To for many years.. especially since having grown up in NB After a very early, long morning I stopped in for lunch. I was dressed down because of my work environment, didn’t think it mattered; but, it did I was seated, menu brought.. I ordered a lunch entree & server promptly walked to another table I waived him back to remind him the entree comes with soup & he didn’t ask which I wanted He bulged his eyes and waived his hand as if to say. “Well …. “ Not speaking word, nor apologizing for him overlooking that He brought my soup, not too long after the sesame chicken I ordered. The sauce was darker than expected, it also tasted burnt, maybe reheated. I didn’t send it back because I just needed something in my belly & to get back to work. The server never checked in to ask how anything was; however, checking on other tables I had to get his attention for a check It was not a good experience I agree with other reviewers that it is not what it used to be.. too bad really Can’t see myself returning
Came here with my coworkers for lunch. Service was incredibly fast. Our waiter kept our drinks (water & soda) full & cleared our plates when we were done with our appetizers. I've been to many Chinese food restaurants and this truly is, by far, the best one yet. When I asked for super spicy General Tso's, I wasn't disappointed. It took us longer to eat than for us to wait for anything else. We took our time as we chatted. Really great atmosphere, staff, and food.
Recommendation: Peking Duck. . Detailed Review: My wife had a endoscopy today. I picked her up at 4:30pm. Since she was still affected by the anesthetic, we decided to order dinner to pick up. I ordered a Egg Drop Soup (quarter) for her and we share a Peking Duck. This review will mainly focus on the food I guess. When I get in the restaurant to pick up my food, I took some photos of the inside. It looks clean and cozy. - Egg Drop Soup: fragrant, good. My wife likes it. I tried some spoons and have to agree with her. - Peking Duck: the best part of this dish is they have a side Duck meat and veggies. I went to other Chinese restaurants for Peking Duck, after they cut the meat and skin, they will throw away 75% of the Duck. Not here, aside with a dish of meat with skin, they have a dish with meat with veggies and sauce. They are both good. According to the price range, I give it 5/5. . My bill total is $67. . So I would say I give the food 5/5. Now that I like the Duck and the atmosphere of this restaurant, I will go back and try their Lobsters.
