I've heard mixed reviews of the Taste Of Orient, so I can only speak of my experiences. The atmosphere is nice, comforting, and quiet, very much the classic American Chinese Restaurant atmosphere. They sometimes have a buffet, but I haven't been there when they had it open. I have had amazing service every time I've been there, very kind and welcoming staff. For this visit I had the Filipino Egg Rolls, Peking Duck, and hot tea. I love the Filipino Egg Rolls, they aren't as heavy feeling as traditional Chinese Egg Rolls that most of us are used to, they are crispy and flavourful. The Peking Duck has a beautiful flavourful spiced sauce, and is tender and moist (there are bones so be aware of that when you bite into a piece). The vegetables help to bring a nice balance to the dish. I have been told that the owners are Filipino, which is why you will find traditional Filipino dishes on the menu,as well as all of your favourite classic Chinese American comfort foods. If your looking for something other than American Food or Pizza while in Wiscasset check out Taste Of Orient.

This is the absolute worst Chinese food I’ve ever had in my entire life. It could be because I myself am chef and cooked in NYC, but that doesn’t explain why the pan fried dumplings were deep fried or why my garlic chicken was closer to shepherds pie filling than anything Chinese. I mean there were bits of deep fried grizzle in the sauce. I’m damn near positive that they had a slow night, the cook had already started cleaning and got pissed that an order came in 45 min before close and shoveled a bunch of shit left over from other dishes into a to go container and passed it off to the lady in the front. This food was disgusting. What a waste of money.
