Taste! The interior was bright, warm, and cozy. The workers are really friendly and the food comes out really quick. Most importantly, each of the dishes we ate were light, high quality, and I could not stop eating! Order: - Honey walnut shrimp: a childhood treat, not too sweet, crispy on the outside soft on the inside, and the cucumbers …
Fun noisy Chinese restaurant. Very large portions... hard to order for one. All the classics of Sichuan cuisine, including whole fish. Also dim sum. Fairly oily cooking.
I’ve never been more excited to have my leftovers tmrw at the end of a meal! We came down from SF and couldn’t have been happier with the service, restaurant, and above all else the food! The Sichuan style food was much more authentic tasting than places in the city — and the spice level was perfect! We ordered 6 …
Check out this hidden gem on University Ave if you love authentic Chinese food! Price is quite reasonable given the location! recommend: Bo Bo Chicken: Spicy and delicious! Tea-smoked duck is my favorite! Taste and texture are very similar to Peking duck: skin is crispy and meat is tender, perfect amount of fat, yum! Roasted Pork knuckles: melt in your …
Great Chinese food! They do really good spicy food, but their other dishes are really good. This time we got the cumin lamb and it was delicious!

This place was exceptional! Some 9/10 and above dishes! The skewer pot was so good! So well balanced and slightly spicy. The spicy pickled fish soup was great! Everything was amazing! One of the most authentic Chinese food I had in a while. Palo Alto is blessed with this spot!
What a gem in such a beautiful building! The food is absolutely authentic and delicious, the service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. 👍 Have to try their new desserts! 🥰
We did catering through Kiki. She is super nice and super helpful. Nice food planning for us. Give them a try and make sure you ask for her
It’s hard to miss this one on the busy University Avenue with their bright red China elements — and maybe really hard to beat too. This is probably the only Chinese restaurant around here with such an inviting outdoor patio, which makes it perfect for us since our dog babies can relax too. The menu strikes a really smart balance …
Had a fantastic meal at Taste! The mapo tofu was easily the highlight—absolutely yummy, literally melted in your mouth, and had the perfect level of heat. The eggplant was also very tasty, and the scallion pancakes were a solid, good choice. For the mains, I’d probably skip the chow mein next time and double down on the fried rice instead, …
