China Taste, MD — Restaurant in Rockville

POSITIVE Excellent quality food Large portions Fair & reasonable prices Friendly, helpful front end staff Extensive menus (2) all the popular Chinese offerings, plus an entire menu for Japanese (sushi, miso soup, bento boxes, etc) Mix of both white collar and blue collar patrons during lunch

NEGATIVE Dining room ambiance (details below) No delivery provided by restaurant itself No waiter service (order from counter and self pick up when ready) No fountain drinks, only bottled beverages and homemade sweet tea

Satisfactory dining room (think cafeteria with florescent lighting), but what they don't put into the ambiance (mood lighting, table cloth, linen napkins, waiters) they put into the food quality, which is the real reason you choose this restaurant. Also tables are relatively close together, not providing ample room.

I constantly hear people in Rockville/North Bethedsa area talking about how good the food is at "Far East" on Nicholson. I would put this place head-to-head in food quality against them any day of the week ("Far East" has fancy dining room & waiter service)

I've been visiting this establishment since about 2010 and have never had a poor quality meal. Plus anyone I have brought food, has always been...

It's obviously the best local sushi place!

For our Family it has already become our Friday tradition to have dinner here. After another hard working week we treat ourselves with fabulous special sushi.

Our order is always the same. It's a huge sushi tray that my husband and I finish in no time).🍱 It is always made with fresh fish!!! Nothing special in the way they serve the dishes, but the food is delicious 🍚🍛🍣 and incredibly cheap (for example, we always pay no more than $35.00 for our order (the picture attached).

Restaurant space is fairly small. There are always a lot of people but never packed that obvious makes you fell relaxed and enjoy the meal!

You make order➡️they give you the number (in the line)➡️should wait a little bit➡️pick it up and enjoy !

Orders are prepared quickly. And to keep yourself from getting bored, while you are waiting for your order, you can treat yourself with a cup of green tea! ... or two )))). For freeeee!

There are three types of menu there: 1). Sushi 🍣 🍱 2). Various meals menu 🍛🍝🍜🍲 3). Special lunch menu 🥗🥒🥑 For any choice!👍

Service is very pleasant! I always feel like home there!

So! 6 stars from 5 :-)...

Great crispy beef. Visited this place for years before moving out of the area in 2022. It is not fancy, and the staff is a nice group -- though some people struggle to understand that friendliness does not always come with a Western smile. The food is prepared to order and is pretty good. Just don't expect the speed you might get at a Panda Express in the food court but it is much better. It is not a date night place if your companion is the type to care more about the white table cloth than the food and down to reality experience. The portions on the Chinese side of the menu are generous. The Sushi is pretty good, though I prefer the standard rolls instead of the signature rolls which are difficult to eat without a mess given the diameter and loose wrap. Rockville/N. Bethesda is seeing a higher-end food scene in recent years but I still like this as a...
