Taste Of Hong Kong

We recently ordered takeout from Taste of Hong Kong in the Gulf Gate area, and it was an exceptional experience! We ordered the General’s Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli with Garlic Sauce, Beef Chow Fun with their homemade hand-stretched noodles, and Boneless Ribs. Every dish was freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. The General’s Chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sweetness and heat. The Chicken and Broccoli had a rich, savory garlic sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The Beef Chow Fun was a standout—the hand-stretched noodles were tender and had a great texture, truly a cut above the rest. The Boneless Ribs were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. This is hands-down the best Chinese food we’ve had since moving to Sarasota. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

Let me preface this with I've probably only written 3-4 online reviews in my life; and, I've been a small business owner in this town for over 20 years so I know how bad reviews can hurt businesses. I really just feel like I have to warn people about this place. I've always wanted to try this place because I've heard nothing but good things about it. I wish I could say the same. I called to order a quart of the seafood fried rice and the pork dumpling appetizer. They told me it would be 40 minutes. 40 minutes for some fried rice and a few dumplings! I walked in 40 minutes later and I had to wait another 15 minutes. There was nobody really in the place. I finally get my food and I pay (somehow $7.99 + $14.99 added up to over $27 after tax. I'm still scratching my head over that). I get home starving after working a 12-hour shift and then waiting an hour to get my Chinese takeout. I dump the fried rice in my plate and there's four shrimp and two small scallops in a quart of rice. When I had called to order she asked me if I wanted it spicy or medium and I told her medium. I took my first bite and I felt like my face was going to melt off. It was literally the worst fried rice I've ever had in my life. Like, how can you mess up fried rice? It's just fried rice. I ate the 4 shrimp and two scallops and pitched the rest. The pork dumplings were basically generic like they got them from their distributor. I ate 2 of the 5. I don't even know what to say. I'm just super disappointed. Is there any good Chinese takeout in this town at all??

The service here is fantastic the ladies work very hard. We have came here a couple times while visiting siesta key and love the authentic food and atmosphere.

The best Chinese food in the area. CA had much better Chinese food, but I cannot find any reasonably good Chinese food here in Florida and this is the best I have found so far. It's good, but not exceptional. I will still give them 5/5 for their food. However, everyone who works here is always so rude/ in a bad mood. It's become a joke in the family... We want to have Chinese food, we look at each other, and we ask if we are willing to deal with the attitude of the staff for some reasonably good Chinese food. Some days the answer is "yes" and other days the answer is "no" and we go elsewhere. We would be here much more often if everyone was not rude, aggressive, and just hostile here. There is also another minor and easily fixable issue: Whatever chemicals are used to wipe down the tables, they should be replaced for something that does not smell so bad. The staff does an excellent job of wiping down tables, but the product they use is very smelly and the whole restaurant smells of it... which interferes with the nice smells of the food. I would be happy to amend my review to a 5/5, but staff really needs to make an effort to not be rude and hostile. We've been here many times and we've never had normal polite service.

Ordered Whitefish in ginger sauce with veg. EXCELLENT! Perfect fish sauce was wonderful and veg perfect. Love their egg rolls, no packaged mustard or sugar plastic plum sauce, they serve fresh in open dishes. Egg drop soup served piping hot, and great value. 2 of us could not eat one dinner! Service was excellent, checking often to make sure all was to our liking.
