Taste of China

We’ve been eating here since it was opened, and we still frequent there, despite not living so close any more. One of the owners, Lisa, is always friendly and helpful, and knows exactly how to get my favorite meal right every time (sesame chicken combo served spicy and crispy). The location is easy to access, and always has us in and out very quickly, and has take out ready to go in awesome time. This is awesome, considering that all of their entrees are made as soon as you order them, so it’s always hot and fresh. Definite recommendation if you like traditional (Americanized) Chinese food!

Taste of China IS the typical Chinese take out place. They all must get their menus from the same place! However, this place does make your food fresh, it never sits around and then handed out later. I have actually seen the employees making the crab Rangoon from scratch before freezing it. I have tried some things on the menu I don’t like but for the most part it’s all fairly decent. Is this place some crazy good authentic sit down Chinese restaurant = NO WAY, but is this a solid, fresh typical Chinese takeout = YES! The food is solid, the people are fairly nice and it is quick and easy to get in and out! I eat here at least once every two weeks.

I went to Taste of China in Raymore. It was the most nasty food ever. I order combo lomein with extra shrimp. They charge $ 2 for 3 shrimp and it only came with 2 shrimp no veggies and lomein was nasty. I also order shrimp fried rice and it was nasty it only had 10 shrimp in there. When I ordered on the phone they was rude she rushed me off. I will never ever go back. I don’t recommend and to go they are NASTY and rude. They count everything out.

The food was over priced with zero flavor. They use no MSG which would explain the lack of flavor. The prices are a lot higher at the location than listed on their website. The lady you cannot communicate with bc her English is so bad. Never again will we return.

Very good fresh, quality food. Worth every penny,
Fast friendly service. we have been there several times and never gotten anything that wasn’t good.

good take out for the area. food was fresh and not too greasy or overly sauced.
lady up front was really nice and helpful.

the food is every bit as good as you would find anywhere. they are very quick to get the food ready. they dont seem to mind making your food to your taste. in belton raymore area they are probably the best.

Screw all the haters! The owners are nice, the portions are big and the lunchtime price is great! This place is berry good for a dive joint A+++

Great food at a reasonable price. All prepared as you wait. Shrimp and broccoli is awesome. Great service and, always eager to help.

Fresh ingredients, visible clean kitchen, pleasant diningroom– and they are willing to change things up to suit your tastes– we have always been very pleased! Good Prices too!

Picked up a combination plate of Kung Pao chicken with an egg roll and h&s soup. Everything was delicious, I’ve to get more egg rolls next time. Very friendly staff.

HAVE to post a Rave on here for Taste of China in Raymore!
I’m VERY picky about my Chinese food in this area because i’ve gotten food poisoning from 3 different restaurants. I heard pretty good reviews on Unilocal about them and decided to give them a try, and i’m so happy that I did!
I got their Fried Rice and Orange Chicken. They have it listed as spicy and at the bottom it says they can alter the spice per your taste, and so I asked for it mild. I’ve been to a lot of places where i’ve done that and I still get it super spicy, but they Actually gave it to me mild. It was moist and delicious!
My Husband got the General Tso’s and loved it! We also got the Crab Rangoon-​Which ACTUALLY has crab in it, the Sugar Doughnuts, and their Delicious Egg Drop Soup. I got it Take Out and it only took 10 minutes. The staff was really friendly, and the only bad thing about it was the Sweet & Sour sauce… lol.
It was hot, fresh, and super Delicious and will DEFINITELY be back! :D

I love this restaurant. It is head and shoulders above all the other chinese restaurants in the Belton/​Raymore area. I usually have the cashew chicken but I’ve tried many of their other dishes and all of them are very good for the price, especially if you go there for lunch you can get out of there for under $ 5 which is pretty tough for good food. I’d give them 4.5 stars if Unilocal let me, but I gave them 5 stars when you consider the quality of the food and the price. The staff is customer service conscious. They’re not perfect, but they’re pretty good.

My favorite Chinese place in the area. The lady at the counter is very friendly, the food is cooked to order and always fresh. So far I have liked everything I’ve tried.

Have tried this place several times now, as it is conveniently located. Very clean and friendly. Nothing too fancy, just a strip mall location.
Had beef and broccoli. Looked appetizing, but lacked flavor. Not enough broccoli.
General Tso’s chicken, one of my favorites normally, was a gooey mess, wasn’t spicy and the chicken seemed like it was cooked last week. It was dry and stringy.
Fried rice was just brown tinted rice. No flavor, no vegetables, no eggs.
Lo Mein was excessively oily.
Crab rangoons were the highlight. Fresh and crisp and the filling tasted rich and creamy.
Egg rolls were just ok. They weren’t greasy at least.
Overall, maybe one more try, but they need to find some flavor somewhere.
No buffet. Portions were a little small.

They cook to order so it is fresh. The lady at the front counter is so nice and always talk to me. Large portions so there will be leftovers, mainly on carry out. If you ask for spicy the will make it the way you want it. Highly recommend it.

The name of this restaurant in Chinese is «jia wei» (jia1 wei4), which means «Excellent Taste.» I was in somewhat of a delirious state of mind and wanted Chinese food or Sonic, so my friend and I chose this place.
Walking in, I was really hopeful that I could find some real dishes, but alas I did not. All of their dishes have been Americanified by adding various sweetners and vegetables. I mean, I know it’s hard to get bamboo in Missouri, but canned bamboo just lacks the flavor it should have. Also, I want to point out that their website says they prepare authentic Sichuan and Hunan dishes, but they don’t. These dishes can only aspire to be as great as their authentic counterparts. Just picture fried fish filets covered and cooked in chili peppers. The dish when brought out to you is literally a mound of chili peppers with fish tucked inside. *sigh*
Anyways, I persued their menu, and they have your typical dishes one around here would expect: Hunan beef, General’s chicken, hot and sour soup, etc. This isn’t the style of Chinese I go for at all.
When I walked up to the counter, they guy was really nice, and I was able to converse with him in Chinese, which is why I was hopeful from the get-​go. I ended up ordering Sichuan Chicken. A glorious heap of canned bamboo, water chestnuts, peppers, and broccoli swimming in a non-​spicy sauce laced with chicken. Now, I’ll admit, the food itself wasn’t bad, but it just misses the mark for me. I feel bad about not being able to give them a higher star, but if I lived in the area I know I would. Having grown accustomed to me Chongqing la zi yu pian and ming huo bai zhou, this just isn’t going to cut it.
Anyways, the place is incredibly clean, the staff is friendly, and they speak broken-​English, but if you’re from the area, this is probably the best you’re going to find.
As a side note, they cook their food with vegetable oil and low sodium, so it’s a smarter choice than some places around here.
