Taste of China

I used to eat here all the time but they’ve lost my business. I will never eat here again. The guy I talked to was completely rude they lost my business forever. Bad service average Chinese food. Not worth anything.

My fella and I just did delivery from this spot and from that one experience alone they take top marks for Chinese places that deliver. We got crab rangoons (free with coupon), wonton soup, general tso’s tofu and Mongolian beef which both came with steamed rice.
The crab rangoons were tasty and come in a package of 8 with a sweet sauce. A very plentiful freebie although the sauce is not my thing.
The wonton soup came with 3 hefty dumplings and was flavored with a large slice of ginger — definitely different, definitely delicious. The soup also came with crispy noodles.
The General tso’s tofu was actually pressed tofu that had been seared, not just fried bean curd tossed in sauce. The sauce could have been a little spicier as I requested the heat level to be higher — but that’s okay. A good dish overall.
The Mongolian beef though! The beef was actually seared and served with green onions, water chestnuts, and on a bed of chow mien-​esque noodles. The sauce actually was a little spicy and scrumptious! This dish was a perfect departure from how others do it in town. I would not hesitate to order this again — 5 stars for certain!
Delivery was fast, hot, and accurate.
From what I experienced here I would not hesitate to go back and I can’t wait to try more of the menu!

Dragon & Phoenix, eh pretty bad. I went to lunch here once and then never again. The chef got the order wrong and put the wrong vegetables in my Dragon & Phoenix and gave some of the other ingredients in my dish to my brother. I tried the fried dumplings, they weren’t any good either and the dipping sauce was mediocre. My advice, avoid this place at all costs. Your hard earned money is better spent at a different Chinese take-​out restaurant.

Still terrible. If you read the other reviews you will hear about people getting sick, overcharged and very disappointed. My review was a little kinder, after three tries I consider this place just another horrible greasy Chinese disaster available in any town for those who want to take the chance. Good luck and please post your experience!

The quality of the food here has declined over the past couple of years. On a few occasions, the food has made me sick.
More importantly, though, I was deliberately overcharged on my last visit, and when I asked about the discrepancy, was lied to. They said that the total they were charging me was correct. From what I can tell, they’re rounding up totals.
The bad food made me wary; cheating sealed the deal: I’ll never be back.

I’m usually pretty picky about my Chinese food so to be honest I wasn’t expecting much but it surprisingly wasn’t bad. I ordered delivery and it didn’t take too long during lunchtime. The lunch special is pretty cheap at $ 5.25 which includes an entrée, fried rice, and an egg roll. Kung Pao chicken was a little salty but not bad at all.

If you live on the East side or Monona, give these folks a try. It’s kind of standard Chinese delivery, so if you want real soy sauce you should have some at home.
The crab Rangoon are basic and kind of small, not bad but not great either. Get a bottle of Mae Ploy from Asian Midway to dip these in, because the sweet and sour they send is kind of basic, too. No big one to me, though– I have all my sauce bases covered. You should see my fridge… ;)
The Ma Po tofu has no meat in it (usually has pork but I am A-​OK without it!), and the fried dumplings could have been a little more… stuffed. Ordering over the phone was easy, and they take credit cards. Delivery was within 35 minutes and it was super nice and hot. I will be ordering again. It sure did hit the spot for my wan fan… hao chi.

Taste China (as their sign says) is our stand-​by for Chinese. Programmed into our cell phone and it is ready by the time we drive by on our way home.

You need a good Chinese delivery wherever you go. This has become ours, in Madison.
We tried 3 or 4 others — including Rubys — and none of them could pass our litmus: it must be able to produce a decent General Tso’s Chicken that isn’t too sweet or gooey with a modicum of heat, the egg rolls must be fried in clean oil and we should never see canned vegetables.
So far, they have satisfied. The General Tso’s is by far better than anything we have come across in Madison — and no, the chicken has not been spoiled for us. The battered coating before fry is not too heavy and the sauce has a little bit of heat. Personally I would like more chilis, but I realize that is an acquired taste.
Mu Shui style pork with plum sauce and pancakes has been fine, not dry and overcooked, and no sight of canned vegetables. Cold sesame noodles were the lightly dressed vinegar kind, not the peanut butter sauce kind. But they were fresh, not gloopy. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu but so far, it’s been good. This has made us very happy, since we have always enjoyed Asian cuisines wherever we have lived (San Francisco, New York) and Madison seemed to have been devoid of decent Cantonese/​Hunan/​Szechuan style Chinese food.
Sure, it isn’t Wu Leng Yi but it is quite adequate for those long work days when you get home and just don’t want to cook. Delivery is always within 20 minutes even though they say 40.

I was in town for business and got back to my hotel around 7PM (dinner time). Having work to do for my client, I decided that I would order food to be delivered to my room and chinese food sounded great!
I ordered General Tso’s Chicken, a small Pork Lo Mein, and the fried dumplings. I thought I was in for a treat as I don’t often get the chance to have chinese food. Little did I know, that the food about to be delivered from Taste of China @ 5415B Monona Dr, Monona, WI was horrible.
The chicken smelled a little different, but when i tasted it I could tell that it had been left out on the counter for hours instead of being in a cooler prior to preparation. The pork lo mein was OK, so I ate some of it and the dumplings were edible.
The next day, I was sick all day. I called the resteraunt and complained when I got back to the hotel and they offered to replace my order. No way was I going to go for round two of the food poisoning game. Instead I told them that I would be posting this review and reporting them to the health department. DO NOT EAT THERE! YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY THAT YOU DID!
