Reviews for Chinese Taste ??? in Issaquah, WA
Excellent restaurant for authentic Chinese cuisine. Tried several dishes all where amazing. Portions are very large. ... Everything looked and tasted awesome. Read more
Extremely oily food. The oil was fully dripping from the dish. My first order here. I had Kung pao chicken number of times at... other restaurants but never had so oily. Read more
We love the combo chili pot and that?s typically the only item we get here. I?ve also seen this offered as a Szechuan dry pot at... at other places. The next nearest place to get this dish would be in Bellevue. It?s a bit of a hit and miss though. The lasttime we got it, there was barely any protein in it. We?ll still be going back though Read more
I've been looking for an authentic Szechuan restaurant around here and stumbled into this place. The ambiance is not the best... but their food is worth the drive. Also like that their spicy dishes are actually spicy unlike in other places where the 5 starsis like 0 stars. Read more
Although it's not one of these famous restaurants on instagram, or xiao hongshu, it definitely beats most of them in terms of... taste. I got the best cauliflower wok here. I also tried their fish and beef stew, all cooked in authentic chinese way. Read more
Good price considering their location. I like the smoked duck and chongqing chicken. They can use more Sichuan peppercorn on the... chicken. But the meat portion seem generous. Read more
Came in on Sunday as they opened for celebratory lunch because of all the good reviews and was thoroughly disappointed with all... 3 dishes we ordered. Person manning the counter was nice, but the food taste, quality and ingredient was really disappointingfor the price I paid. The ??? Laziji / Chongqing Chicken lacked the peppery sichuan taste. They did not use enough chillipeppers at all and the dish did not even smell like Laziji. It?s bland, like popcorn chicken with aroma and subtle taste ofwhite pepper - the garlic aroma is so subtle I suspect this was cooked with garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. We orderedYangzhou Fried Rice - big portion but guess what the meat was? canned cooked pork. It tasted like cheap spam knock off. I knowthis because you cannot hide canned cooked pork texture and the salty taste. One would think at least chinese sausage wasprovided as part of Yangzhou fried rice but NO, cheap meat only. Ordered the Pine Nut Fish - two stars for presentation here asit was definitely cut properly as how Pine Nut fish are cut and fried. Fish tasted like tilapia and sauce tasted likeprepackaged/canned gravy (you can differentiate prepackaged/canned gravy from self made ones based on the tart and after tastearoma) - even the safeway at Issaquah highlands has better gravy. For the amount of money I paid on these 3 dishes I was utterlydisappointed - cheap ingredients with low effort cooking but a nice presentation to mask it all. Panda Express and IssaquahHighlands Safeway does better food with fresher ingredients than this restaurant. Read more
Was incredibly good food! My first time here was also the first time I had Sesame chicken but it is also certainly not the last... time im going there! Delicious food, very good rice, came with tea as we sat down right off the bat, and good menu selection. Read more
