Total rubbish now. Used to be good with original owners. Since the new owners took over everything was getting ridiculously cheap quality and prices shot up a few times. Owners are money greedy. A round table for 2 they sat us 3 down and had a cheek to say we booked to eat there. Now we go to Imperial China, Watford. It’s like how TOC used to be years ago

I walked in and they gave me a dirty look. When i was ordering they told me to hurry up. I felt intimidated so I asked for pork dumplings and they told me, there wasn’t any. Then when I finished ordering they started talking in their language as they looked at me. They made me stand there as they finally came back with my food. The food isn’t that good for its price, besides it’s very little. I will never come back.

We used to eat at this restaurant all the time over 25yrs. Service is still excellent, but the food is a disaster. Stop thinking about profit and think about the food you serve. The food was tasteless.. the restaurant which used to be full all the time is now empty. Owners take note of this and make changes.

We tried this for the first time. Is an improvement on our previous regular eatery. A real high point was the prompt delivery. The food arrived in good time. Some of the dishes were outstanding and would quality this review as 3.5. The char Siu pork with beans sprouts was delicious well cooked, same for the chicken in Szechuan sauce, the seafood Singapore fried noodles was disappointing not enough seafood, just 1 scallop and a couple of pieces of very rubbery squid. The squid starters was ok but served like calamari without enough of the promised garlic and chilli, the prawn starter was ok but for the price we expected king prawns. The starter portions feel mean even allowing for the fact that they’re starters. The prawn fried rice was ok but could benefit from a touch more seasoning. The spareribs were beautifully cooked but too salty. Overall we enjoyed some of the food but due to some of the issues the score is not as high as it could be. We’ll try again but will only persist if the good outweighs the bad.

Taste of china used to be one of the better standard restaurants in Harrow with an exceptional reputation. I visited this week after many years and will not be returning. The food was nothing special and very over priced, I can't see why. Kids didn't enjoy it either. The service was excellent, timely and overall not issues. I didn't check the other reviews before visiting as I know they had a good reputation and have visited previously. I wish I had though.

Very disappointing. The restaurant was practically empty, so not buzzing with lunchtime customers. This I believe is due to no reasonably priced lunch specials, very overpriced and poorly executed cooking. The starters of ribs… dry and quite tasteless, prawn toasts… good, spring rolls… basic and chicken satay… very tough and dry. We followed with crispy duck and pancakes. No beautifully succulent duck with gorgeous crispy skin , but a dried out bird with a slightly bitter flavour. £55 for a lunch for 2 is not unreasonable if the food is delicious. This was not.

Service was rushed and terrible. .My husband asked the waitress to pour his chinese tea into his cup and she refused.. we had reserved the table for 12.30pm and were told the kitchen closes at 2.30pm so we will have enough time to eat and relax after the kitchen closes. no one throws you out once the kitchen closes ..At 1.30 we were told the kitchen is closing and between 2pm and 2.15pm we were repeatedly asked to leave the restaurant as an engineer was waiting to fix the Air conditioner. Why did they book the engineer during the restaurant's opening hours and not between 2.30 and 6Pm when it is closed.. There were two waitresses who refused to give their names , said the engineers just turned up !!! the paying customers were not shown any respect .It totally spoilt our afternoon .My nephew immediately called a taxi to take them home .the lunch was a birthday treat to my niece .What a disaster .Never again would we visit Taste Of China Harrow again or recommend to anyone.

Very average Chinese food. Would be better to use your local takeaway and pay half the price and get food at twice the flavour. Fried spring rolls small and definetly from a frozen pack. Fried squid rings ditto. Chicken satay stuck to the skewers and very dry. For the mains in the seafood section everything was in batter and then stirfried. Asked the waitress whether I could have any fish stir fried. Was assured yes. When the dish arrived it was battered fish bits fried then stir fried. Didn't even need to taste it to know it was frozen and deep fried. When I asked the waitress she was adamant that this was what I had requested. She was reluctant to take it back, twice commenting that she would have to pay for it!! FYI when we arrived there was a discussion regarding the time available for our table about 60min. before we had to leave. The food arrived pretty quick and once the starters had been cleared away. the mains arrived just as quick. Not relaxed at all. Definetly not a place i'd recomend

This place is disgustingly overpriced. I ordered a takeaway, one starter, one intermediate, one main and a rice. £60. The food is decent, not what I'd call value for money however. I haven't dined in since way before Covid so can't comment on the experience. Apparently the new owners have hiked the prices up, I appreciate that cost of everything has generally glen up but this seems somewhat extortionate.

Been coming here ever since I can remember - pretty much spent every family birthday here too because it was always our favourite Chinese restaurant in NW London. Since the new ownership, the decor has changed making the place look cheaper (not the biggest of deals) but the food has COMPLETELY changed! The flavour was not only awful but a lot of the ingredients have changed, making them totally different to their usual signature dishes. For a Chinese restaurant not to have babycorn and water chestnuts as ingredients anymore and to replace it with sweetcorn and other non-chinese ingredients and charge extortionate prices for it, is a bit of a joke. The new owner really needs to read all these reviews and take note because you've ruined what used to be a local favourite for so many families. Unfortunately will never be going back now after decades of loyalty.

We visited on first week of January 2022 and had set meal A. The starters were okay but didn't taste fresh. The 2 main meals were not very tasty/exciting; rice & Vegetable dish were good. The cost was far in excess of the value and service charge of 12.5% should be optional not mandatory, although the service was friendly and efficient.

My family and I were visiting from the North and decided Saturday would be Chinese food. This restaurant has everything going for it. A warm genuine welcome with a smile at the door. When we were seated and given time to make our choices from the food and drinks menu the staff were so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious especially the deep fried squid, honey roasted ribs, fancy chicken and the spring rolls. Chinese cuisine is my favourite and was wondering if a high street restaurant would be able to deliver. It did that and more. Well presented food, bright but subtle decor. We picked too many items, a lovely server told us that she would give us containers to take home with us before we even asked. My family really enjoyed our evening. The prices reflect the high quality menu. The next time I come to London, I will definitely be coming back and will also tell others about this amazing restaurant.

They have Mandatory surcharge of 12.5% added to your food bill, this is disgrace as food is already over priced. The quality of food is not great.

I rang the restaurant to double check my booking for 2people at 8pm was confirmed for few days time. To my surprise the conversation took a turn in asking me to "try and arrive earlier" as last orders are at 9pm as the restaurant closes at 10pm. How does this make any sense??I've been coming here for years and I'm telling you now this is not how you talk a customer who is paying for food and simply wants a relaxing meal. Considering once you order food it is normally at your table within 5mins, why do I need to order at 9pm for 10pm closure. I suggest you rethink how you operate as you will continue to lose more loyal customers in the process! #bookingcancelled

Good Chinese food with brisk efficient service, with no friendly banter. Unusual food, Chinese style frogs legs for example, alongside your familiar staples. In a good position in Harrow town centre it usually seems busy. I’ve been once or twice and had take away as well. Always reliably good food. Nothing spectacular but good food. Decent price.

So I have been coming here for years, and I can't fault the food, that has always been great.However I tried to call up yesterday (Thursday) for a table for 2, everytime I've called up before there's never been an issue they're never THAT busy to fit 2 people in.Around 8.10 I called up and they said they are fully booked, I said really? I've come of Thursday before and its never fully filled up, she said yeah started to pause a lot more when I started asking questions, she then in a nervous voice said its since they put a 10pm closure, to which i said, when is the last order, she said 9, and I said if I turn up you're telling me there's no seats available to dine in, even though its 50 minutes before last order, she started making up excuses.I feel since this place has been taken over by a new owner, the staff who were employed before have been Kept on but have changed how they run things and frankly it isn't for the better.On another occasion my other half called up for a takeaway, to which is was told they're not doing takeaways (we've ordered takeaways loads of times) and then when I called back and asked to speak to the owner, they managed to suddenly allow a takeaway order

I have been coming here for years with my family, went back yesterday, and there is a new owner who has totally ruined the restaurant, such a shame. AVOID.The food was disgusting, no taste apart from lots of salt. I can honestly make much better Chinese food myself at home.The whole restaurant is now very low-end and tacky. Where there were once linen table cloths, there are now red paper coverings which you see at children's birthday parties. And the table cloths aren't even big enough to cover a small table, so they have to join a few together. Chopsticks aren't laid on the tables anymore as standard. It is now a low-end no-frills restaurant.The portions have shrunk under the new owner to minuscule amounts whilst the prices have gone up. You'd be better off for the same price going to a posh Chinese restaurant in Central London!And to top it off, the staff are miserable, you can tell they do not like working for the new owner from the comments they were making.

We were bitterly disappointed with what we got from our order. Most of the dishes were nothing like we’ve ever had before :- the crispy duck was served with a teriyaki sauce not plum or hoisin. The duck itself appeared to have been previously frozen (that was the impression I don’t know if it’s accurate), the amused chicken was having A laugh on us , the egg fried rice was okay , the chicken with black bean was hunt the chicken the dish comprised mainly of onions peppers and black bean sauce with three very flat slivers of chicken. On top of this the owner had offered me personally a 15% discount Which I took advantage of , thankfully ,as I’d have been really annoyed at having paid 1p more for what we got. Don’t waste your money or time going there

Awful food! I've been going here for over 12 years and for whatever reason the food has completely gone down hill and the prices higher. Trying to take short cuts with simple things like sweet and sour sauce which is now watery. Sesame toast is just disgusting, used to be my favourite starter. It's so dry now and it's like they're using Smash instead of real potatoes. A friend got chicken satay which was dry and tasteless. Overall I think there's new management and the place is really not worth the money you pay. Honestly you're better off with fish and chips!!

We ordered our Saturday night take away from here for the first time last night. I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken, Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Prawn in Thai Curry, Chicken Chow Mein and Special fried rice. The food arrived within good time, nice and hot. All of the fishes were cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. The only critic would be that usually chinese take aways send complementary prawn crackers for orders over £30. We spent around £55 and they didn't send any which was disappointing. That is just a minor fault though, the food is amazing regardless.

Im chinese and have eaten in many chinese restaurants in this country over the last 10 years. I believe I have encountered the worst hot and sour soup today. Soup was tasting like soy sauce. Couldnt even bear drinking more than a small spoonful so sent it back to the kitchen. Manager refused to acknowledge problem with the soup and insisted we paid for the soup at the end - £5 for that. The remaining dishes were below average and not at all authentic, worse than food I get from chinese takeout places. Waitress took forever to serve water (I know we don't pay for that, but seriously does it need 3 reminders before it could be served....) I would NEVER EVER come back to this restaurant.

I'm a regular at this restaurant and have been dining here for years. Although it has recently changed ownership, during my most recent visit I was delighted to find a rejuvenated interior, and the new owner and staff were as welcoming as ever. Needless to say, the food has remained excellent: as a vegetarian, the wide range of vegetarian dishes is the reason why Taste of China has remained a family favourite all these years. One downside, if any, is that the prices, whilst unchanged, are slightly on the high side - but then again, you get what you pay for and more here. I also recently noticed it is now listed on Deliveroo, although I'd personally prefer to eat in every time for the wonderful hospitality and the ambience!

We went as a family for Mother’s Day last night. Our visit was after several years. Food quality was as expected and reasonable. Service was fast although on a couple of occasions wrong order was served but i think it was purely down to the fact that the restaurant was full and the waiters were really fire fighting. We 4 of us were seated by a wall on a very small round table ideal for two people. We were 3 adults and a teen aged boy. In order to give waiters room for moving around we were our chairs placed in a very awkward position. Food was good but dining experience wasn’t I am afraid. It was disappointing because we had pre-booked and were really looking forward.

We had lunch at Taste of China last Saturday. The food was delicious! I have eaten here before but it's been a while but i wasn't disappointed. If you want tasty authentic food you must go there. Try their dumplings. I havent had that before. Most unusual.

I am so very shocked at the new management and how dopey and unfriendly they are, so clueless about how to treat paying customers! The service was so bad. I cant express it. I’ve been coming here for over 12 years and have never experienced this and they dont bring things quick enough! We’re sitting here absolutely starving! Absolutely upset

People were very kind and helpful with suggestions on the menu, the ambient was very clean and the food was proper from China. Very traditional restaurant. My Chinese`s friends also recommend.

Not impressed with overall ambiance, considering the prices. Restaurant always cold, staff Jackie Chan) look a like constantly patroll up and down the aisle. Makes you feel uncomfortable. My prawns in my rice had poo in their backs (chq your prawns when you order a rice. 2.40 for a ginger ale, poor choice of soft drinks, plus ask for a Chinese curry, and was offered a Thai curry sauce with curry pieces. Wat Chinese doesn't do a good curry. T of C needs to refurbish, revise their menus. It's about time!

The food is faultless - truly authentic chinese. The black bean tofu is notably great and it goes really well with ginger rice. The waiters don't converse more than they need to which is good if you want to be left alone to the main act. Overall, it is a pleasant experience, it should be noted however that the food is only recommended eating in, if you get a takeaway the quality definitely goes down.

This place is great for vegetarians and we go quite often. There is a very big choice and the portions are generous. It’s quite possible to get stuffed on just the starters 😜 Worth booking in advance as always busy

Taste of China is a very popular Chinese restaurant with a large and varied menu. The restaurant is big, with 3 connected rooms. The menu has a wide range of options, including set menus and vegetarian options. The set menus are reasonably priced and the portions are generous. The quality of the food is good and service was efficient and friendly. Parking is easy, with the Debenhams short stay car park across the road.

The food was meh. I ordered the thai chilly chicken and it was average. Way too much sweet sauce, and no chilly or spice of any kind. The chicken was bland. My friends ordered some other dishes (more chicken, noodles and rice etc) and everything was standard. A main course for one is between 8- 13 quid so if you're looking to waste that much then make sure to come here. there are other restaurants that would do better food for a similar price. Wouldn't bother coming

We went there for my wife's birthday and had a menu for two. It would have served 2 more people too!. There were about 4 courses and all were good. The service was excellent. It is a popular place as it soon filled up even on a Tuesday evening mostly with locals and some were obviously regular customers. The surroundings are pleasant too. I have no hesitation in recommending it. I seems to have cheaper set menus than some of the local competition too.

We walked in at about 6.15pm one Sunday evening. The Restsurant had only been open for about 15 minutes, yet it was already busy and got busier as time went on. This is clearly a very popular place among locals, despite being on the more expensive side. This did not effect the service or the quality of the food one iota. In fact everything about this visit was better than before. We were asked if we wanted to wait between courses which was great as our intention was to have a leisurely meal out.

One of our elderly friends felt very down last week so we decided to take him for a meal on Sunday to cheer him up. It was a bit of round trip for us from Surrey to Wembley and then the Taste of China in Harrow. We have been going there for 20 years, we used to go regularly as a group of nine but apart from my friend everyone has moved to other parts of the country including me.

Used to come here a lot over the past ten years thinking of this as my favourite place for a Chinese. In the past, it was known for good food but not so great service and also for being costly.

Prices compared to portion size is a ridiculous. This restaurant is located in Harrow, the prices should correlate.

Great Chinese food! If you like duck- try the crispy aromatic duck. Portions are not US style and more manageable. Food is taste and lots of choice. Sizzling dishes are a treat. one thing to note is that I have noticed many of the restaurants are using less salt (understandably) in the food so there is a difference. However, with that said, I was not at all disappointed again with the food. highly recommended and as stated, I have never been disappointed here. Infact my teens now love this place when we visit!

Love this place. Visit often when craving Chinese. The food is very good. Sweet corn is nice, along with the crispy veg duck is nice and my fav is the broccoli. Although for the price it's very expensive. The service is lovely. Definitely try this place out if you enjoy Chinese food!

Card minimum is 12 when a meal is averaged for one person around 9 pounds The food is great however the front of house is so rude, She is always in a mood, always speaks with a disrespectful tone as if shes doesn’t want to be there. I’m a regular who like their food and my most recent encounter was the worst she dismissed me showing me the palm of her hand saying “I’m tired of listening to you”after I told her that I come every week and order the same food. why does she feel the need to get the last say!!
