Quick info
About China's Taste
On Highbury Park, China's Taste is a Chinese takeaway where the food is cooked in front of customers. The kitchen turns out beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken, and chow mein, alongside chips, curry sauce, and prawn crackers for the classic takeaway combinations. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis at the counter, and the shop opens daily. Beyond collection and delivery, there is also room to sit and eat the food inside the shop, so the cooking taking place at the front of house is visible to those eating in as well as those waiting on an order.

“The staff was so rude especially the woman. They were about to cook me frozen ribs. When I questioned it the woman hit the son to stop him from answering me. They never smiled once at me. Bad energy. Won't spend my money here again.”

Customer Review Summary
Regulars most often praise the food and the friendly people serving it, with the beef in black bean sauce leading the dishes named, followed by sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, chips, curry sauce and prawn crackers. Reviewers say orders arrive quickly and piping hot, and one diner describes everything being cooked right in front of them. Several describe the staff as lovely and kind, including a front-counter worker who remembers a lunchtime order, and a couple mention little extras thrown in without asking, such as last-minute additions to an order at no charge. Good portions and low prices also come up. The complaints are sharper but fewer. One reviewer says an order from a farther address was accepted, paid for, then cancelled minutes later because the driver would not make the drive, with the promised refund still missing and staff on the phone unwilling to help. Another says they were about to be served frozen ribs and that a staff member silenced a colleague who tried to answer the question. Regulars still describe being remembered at the counter and handed a few free extras.
