Chinese Taste Fast Food

Been coming here for years. The food is always good and they will make a dish even if it’s not out on the steam tables. The orange chicken and sweet and sour pork are my go to.

Under new management! Yes the owner/​workers are «Mexicans» but owner has been the cook for 12+ yrs at this same location so he knows what he’s doing. I’ve Been coming here for years and food is amazing! My favorite location for Chinese! Employees were really friendly, highly recommend it!

This place is a dump! Not clean inside, they hardly had any food ready at 6:30 pm on a Sunday and the food taste like its smothered in sauce. I don’t know how people can say it does the job because it sucks. When you eat Chinese takeout someone behind the counter should at least look Chinese! All Mexicans and one white guy running the show. The Kung pow chicken bits are so small my fork couldn’t even pick them up! If you looking for something cheep, resembles Chinese take out with big portions come here. Good luck…

The food is nasty, I asked for Kung pow chicken and the peanuts were old and the chicken had a nasty taste, I payed $ 10.75 for a plate and a small drink. Next time I will just drive to the one next to Big Lots on Imperial Hwy.

Man, this place… First/​last time here for sure. Saw that the establishments inside was rather large so i figure they must be pretty busy to be able to afford the rent here. Way wrong. First off, I walk up to the large tray of available food and noticed there is maybe two or three out of 12 trays that even have any food in them and they looked old and like they were sitting there for at least an hour without even as much as somebody turning the food over so it looks palatable. Then I noticed they have hot and sour soup on the menu so I figured fuck it, I will try it out. I was hoping to get a non-​breaded chicken entrée with brown rice and a small bowl of soup. Neither do they have brown rice and none of their food was prepared so I got some soggy old chicken with rice noodles that tasted like somebody’s gym shoes and four week old Kung pao chicken that tasted like somebody urinated in the serving tray. So I sit down and take a sip of the Hot and sour soup and find out that it tasted like a four-​year-​old child made it. Not to mention that the young guy behind the counter looked like he hasnt combed his hair since 2009. I throw away about 60% of my meal and go to the bathroom just to find out the men and women’s restrooms do not have operating door locks. The men’s restroom has a sign on it that says knock before entering because you can walk in while somebody’s going number two, not to mention the door is stickier than those rat traps that are like liquid glue. This is the worst place I have ever ate any food in my entire life and I’m not posting this to hurt anybody’s feelings or make the restaurant lose business, although they need a serious reality check… The only person I would recommend here is my worst enemy.

when i was a kid this place was the go to spot for my family and now im an adult, and this restaurant used to be pretty popular aswell. last night my mom came home with orange chicken and chow mein noodles. a few of my siblings and myself ate the food and woke up with food poisoning. we have been throwing up and had diarrhea all day. the food is cheap which is excusable considering its price is really low but the quality is just bad. ive also found out that other people i know who have been here have had multiple occurrences with food poisoning. they need to get re-​evaluated by the health department because its dirty and the food sits out tooo long to be edible.

This place is my go to quickie chinese food place :) maybe because I live just down the street but ya it does the job. Definitely not gourmet or fancy sitdown. But overall good value for the price you pay!

Been here a few times, its okay. Rice tasted a bit old, hard. Orange chicken was ok. You get what you pay for I guess!

Even though they have an A rating, the place doesn’t seem very clean. They only take cash, which is kindof annoying. Their staff wasn’t very friendly or fast. However their prices are very good for the quantity of food that you get.
I had the kung pao chicken and chow mein. The chicken was pretty good, it had a kick to it but wasn’t super spicy. The chow mein wasn’t that great, and it didn’t taste very fresh. Considering how many similar restaurants there are in the area, I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.

I really didn’t enjoy it… I didn’t like how my pork had bones, but it wasn’t even good… I give it two stars because I was okay with the chow mein although it wasn’t hot and tasted a bit like plastic.

I come to this place about once a month to get the pork and for a wile now they apparently run out. Not good if this is the only thing I get there. Also it’s understandable if it was bussy but not when it’s only been open for ½ hour

Hmm I’ve been here a few times now and it’s hit or miss. food is very tasty sometimes warm not hot which is a turn off. I noticed if Rigo is there we get fresh food and awesome customer service but if Asian lady is there the rice is stale and the selection of items is not that great last time I was there she pretty much only had the ribs Orange chicken and kung pao chicken to choose from. she honestly needs to put the tip jar away on her shifts because she doesn’t deserve a dime. now. On the other hand we are always happy to throw a few bucks in Rigos jar.

I’m actually a relitively new employee here at Chinese taste, and I really like the food here. I don’t cook or anything, i just serve the food for customers. Most of my customers who come here always tell me «hey I’m glad to see someone else here for a change! Finally a person who actually talks with the customers.» I’m really trying to get rid of the vibe of bad customer service here, because I hear that’s a reason a lot of people don’t like coming back. Also I speak a little Spanish and get in trouble for over serving. Lol
The owner is actually Korean, and has a lot of trouble speaking English, it’s probably the reason why she doesn’t speak much. Which kind of sucks cuz she talks to me all day. She does mostly look serious, but she has her days where she smiles and makes jokes, which trips everyone out lol. The owner has stopped caring about the restaurant as much as she did before Ex: she has cut some of the things of the menu.
I read some of the reviews tfor the first time today and I just wanted to say that I bring my family to eat here, it’s good quality, it’s tasty, and I’ve seen how they make it. Otherwise I would not bring them to eat here. I would recomend this to anyone who has their minds set on Chinese food with not too much variety and slightly cheaper than panda express.

The only dish I will eat there is the Thin Rice Noodle, it is pretty good.
Orange chicken is too sweet, i did not like it.

If zero stars was possible, took 30 minutes to get my food. And it was awful, old rice and stall fortune Cookie

Flys abound here. What are they after? I don’t know because there is precious little food ready to be dished up at 12:35 pm on a weekday. 1 customer in the joint hugging near the drink fountain. No AC on a hot day.
Prices a little on the high side then +.50 to use a credit or ATM. That did it. I wont pay a premium for potential food poisoning. I ended up at Sam’s Burgers across the lot. Cleaner, friendlier, less flys.
BTw. Two stars because I didn’t actually eat here.

I ate here yesterday and it wasn’t my first time but it was my last .the food was aweful and cold. the lady behind the counter had the look of someone who hates their job. I don’t even want to know what the Orange chicken was. it’s better not to ask those questions. just avoid this place. for your safety.

This place is fast, tasty and cheap! I have been going here since I was a kid and it will forever be my favorite chinese food joint in the Whittier/​La Mirada area!

This place has terrible reviews and I can relate. I have been here a good amount of times and the reason I keep coming back is because it is close to home and my favorite Chinese joint closed, so I don’t have much of a choice if I want chinese. I have a different one close to me but they only take cash and I rarely have cash on me. Especially since my hubby is not a fan of Panda express.
The inside actually has a lot of seating, probably too much because it is never crowded. There might be another person in there but mostly it would just be me. That says something that people are crazy over it I guess lol. They also have a toy arcade game to win a stuffed animal and another game to play too. It looks like they are trying to be different, but it doesn’t look like it’s working.
It is always SO hot in here. I don’t think they even have A/​C, which is a bummer because with the smell of chinese food on its own, the heat does not help. Nobody would want to sit down with the smell and no ventilation.
It is always the same lady working which I am sure she is the owner because I have not seen anyone else there. She has her cooks in the back who don’t seem happy. She has a microphone that she speaks her order into for them to hear in the back which is like a couple feet away from her. She just seems lazy and bossy. The lady never smiles either and is all shiny in the face, why? Because it is so hot in there!
As far as the food goes it is okay. Their chow mein is good, a little too greasy. The beef and broccoli would be my favorite here. Definitely not a fan of the orange chicken. It doesn’t even taste like chicken. So I would just have to say the food is okay. I ended up getting 3 take out boxes to go. One-​orange chicken (mistake) two-​beef and broccoli three-​chow mein. It ended up coming out to $ 21 which I thought was pricey because I probably could have gotten more if I got a plate with 2 sides. They also charge you $.50 for using credit card.
My suggestion is if you have options of Chinese food around you, try those.

AWFUL FOOD!!! I wish I would’ve listened to the person who posted about how awful this place is! DO NO WASTE YOUR CASH HERE. Food was cold, had a funky smell, a worse taste and was NOT cheap. On top of that, the girl serving the food (Asian lady with blond hair and bad roots) doesn’t speak… she whispers, so you have to guess as to what she’s saying to you. I’m still sitting here with my food (which is about to go in the trash), that’s how bad it is… I couldn’t wait to get home to post my review. Horrible food: /
