Chinese Taste - South Salt Lake

Noodles were great, I liked the mild flavor overall, and the service was really good too. Custard buns weren’t the best I’ve had in this areas but still not bad.Food: 4/5

Good food and great prices, the standard fare of what you'd find plus a few options you don't always see (steamed buns!! . Took the food to go but the restaurant has a lovely interior. The staff was all super friendly and nice. Totally recommend!Parking: Since it's right by the China Town center on state (but directly south of the main area, in a strip mall that backs up to it parking can be insane based on how busy the area is. I went on a busy primetime during a holiday weekend and it was PACKED literally waiting for someone to pull out to take their spot, circle three times.

The chili oil wontons were maybe the best I’ve had anywhere. I thought they were awesome. I also had the spicy numbing beef soup and that was excellent. Will return next time I’m in SLC!Food: 5/5

The food tastes very good, but the portion is very small. We were excited about the house special grill fish, but we were not aware that all the add-on sides needed be ordered separately with extra , and the server didn’t ask us if we want to order the add-ons as well.

For me, the best things about Chinese Taste are the dishes beyond the Chinese-American staples.The pot stickers are deep fried and that's not special for example though they taste fine.But the buns are not so common. I find Chinese buns in general a bit bready but the pork one has good flavor and the custard bun is good.You have some different soup choices than you usually see too including some whole meal noodle soups.The vinegar lotus root was good and different. The bamboo veggie dish too is worthwhile. Cumin beef or lamb will surprise you that it is Chinese. The various dry pot dishes are also winners.Nothing special about the atmosphere. Service is quick but not personal.i prefer quick over personal anyway. Parking is fine though I can see it getting too busy at times.
