Taste of China in Leicester

Authentic Hong Kong style milk tea and delicious flavours. The Malaysian style chicken wings were packed with flavours. The noodles in the satay beef fillet lo mein were bouncy and had a perfect balance of savory and nuttiness of the satay sauce.

Excellent all round, good food, very quick and not expensive.

Amazing portions for the price, amazing food and check out the set meal best value

Underrated place for authentic Cantonese/HK food! Excellent value for money, friendly staff, quick efficient service, varied menu with both quick-bite and proper evening meal options. 迷你盤菜 (Mini-Pun-Choi) was a surprise find, highly recommended!

Very lovely staff :) My partner and I have been here frequently. He is coeliac and they always do their best to accommodate him. Highly recommend

Cheap chinese Take away box dinner £4.80. I ordered two, one Chicken and Mushroom in gravy with Egg Fried Rice and one Chicken Cantonese Chow Mein with Chip both really nice enjoyable meals.

Excellent authentic Cantonese food with friendly service. We ordered a braised duck, a dish not too be found easily, not even in London Chinatown.

乌冬面条是坏了馊的，面汤里有虫子。服务员看过之后说 这很正常。

This place used to be prior Covid times much better. Now the portions are small. Triple roast always come with small quantity of meat. The female owner/ manager is very rude in the way she talks. She is so arrrogant when something is being asked. She speaks over and is absolutely terrible. Go to Birmingham to eat good Roast.

We went there last night service is very poor ..food horrible curry very watery and had keep telling them missing part order and it made few of our family sick

Great food and great restaurant!

Such a great place, friendly staff, amazingly quick service and really authentic well priced food.

点了奶茶，口水鸡，双拼饭，奶茶挺好喝。然而，双拼饭的鸭和叉烧不太好吃，尤其是叉烧，更多的像给外国人吃的口味，不正宗而且很淡。当我和店家要醋时，她竟然给了我一瓶Aldi的醋而不是中超的米醋/陈醋...

Been going here for food very reasonable priced and very consistent always. Food is made to order steaming hot and cold milk tea very good. Whoever visit Leicester must go and try lovely owners.

The set meal was fantastic value for money.

Food was test good, big portion,price not too expensive,restaurants clean and tidy staff was kind friendly and smile on their face,would recommend.

Came here for a few times already but keep coming. This is a really homemade Hong Kong style Chinese food from diner to dim sum made by your parents. The way they were cooked are authentic but not commercial. Very unique and may not be welcome if you are in Hong Kong. But a small Papá-mama kind of feel or “hold in a wall” kind of operation. Good Food! Simple and personal touches you may not find anywhere.

Best noodles in the city. New interior design completed but in modern style not to much oriental. However love the place because of food.

Great food. Been going for 10 years and always get the same dish. Always spot on

Went here to get warm today with a warm bubble tea and shared a three roast rice with the wife. Excellent tasting food and drink.

HAIR ALWAYS FOUND IN FOOD!!!!!! Found hair in my noodles the past 2 visits and they don’t compensate. Tried to deny it and said it’s ‘meant to be in there’. The service is terrible. The older woman stares at you constantly and makes you feel uncomfortable. When you ask for cutlery, salt, sauces etc, she gives the dirtiest looks and gives them rudely. AVOID

The lychee juice with boba is sweet and refreshing, the service was really quick and staff helped us decide what to get, and the prices were really fair compared to other boba places around. Overall, a really nice authentic place to eat in!

這裏標榜是港式茶餐廳，所以，試試幾個港式口味的：乾炒牛河，黑椒牛柳絲炒意，啫啫雞煲等，都算做得不錯，特別係河粉，很好；餐廳環境，衛生和服務都好。

The chicken is not cooked, do you know uncooked chicken is toxic???🤮🤮🤮🤮 莱斯特最差的中餐馆，三拼烧味饭，酱油鸡都是生的，吃了直接食物中毒呕吐。询问服务员就把我的盘子端走了，也不给我重新换，没吃完的咸蛋不给重新上，最后所有菜品还照样要收钱。服务态度巨差，尤其是两个普通话不标准的一个长发女和一个年纪稍长的阿姨。同学们谁吃谁知道。 Had roast dishes with rice (3 options) The soya chicken is not even cooked with blood in the bone, such a disgusting one with worst quality ever. I had to vomit badly to make sure I don’t get food allergies. When I asked the waitress, she rudely took away my dishes and I wasn’t able to take the photo as a proof of evidence. Service was also poor, I don’t understand how they name themselves Taste of China? So bad. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 And , I was also been charged for this with the service fee.

Lovely little Chinese restaurant. Very sweet staff. Great value fixed priced 3 course meals. Well recommend.

Nice chinese food at reasonable price

I am not the one to give many reviews but have to say that have never had better Chinese food than here today.

Well worth a visit if you like Chinese food! Small restaurant but clean and tidy, friendly staff.

We love this place, great service and food, if you want a really authentic taste then this is the spot.

After the first visit back in March, we come again. We came for the Slow Cooked Beef Belly Fried Vermicilli. Wonderfully made with the perfect sauce made of the beef stew. The BBQ duck is homemade and soft with crispy skin. Very good. Soft stirring egg with shrimp on rice is simple and good. Traditional Hong Kong style. Fantastic. If the drink made better, it is a 5 Stars.

Great place with patient and friendly staff

food is nice but the service took too long to answer us

Fantastic food and service. What a lovely place we will be back!

The milk tea here is very nice, and the staff are friendly. I was surprised how many items are on the menu! Would recommend.

It was a hong kong styled restaurant food quality is okay

Typical Hong Kong style restaurant. Nice staff, delicious food with reasonable price.

Ordered for delivery. Food arrived in record time no wonder it was almost frozen cold I ordered chicken with chilli and it was stone cold. Such s disappointment as I’ve eaten in loads and it’s always amazing bud stone cold food isn’t good wasn’t even hot and went cold. Won’t be ordering again

If you like real, authentic Chinese food, then this place is for you. The food is always amazingly delicious, hot and super fresh! Without a doubt this is the best Chinese restaurant in the Leicester.

Every time I order their food, it is amazing, especially their beef dishes. The service is always quick and efficient, and I have never had a bad meal yet. Will always recommend this restaurant, and the staff are always friendly, and can't do enough for you......AMAZING!!!

Had lunch from here today! Was truly the very best taste of china...highly recommended

I have been using Taste of China for a few years now and have always been extremely happy with both the quality of the food and the service! The biggest thing for me is the the Chicken is Halal. Finding an established, tasty and Halal Chinese spot is virtually impossible. So, Taste of China is the best there is. THANK YOU SUE!!!

Great little restaurant on the high street in town what a find. The food is excellent and full of flavour. I had the satay beef Ho fun and tried my first bubble tea, it was excellent. Friendly staff and I would definitely recommend 5*

My family and friends have dined on many occasions in the Taste of China restaurant in High Street in the city of Leicester. We would like to express our most sincere thanks to the chef for the delicious and tasty food. The char siu and crispy pork, duckling and chicken, the stir fry noodles and vermicelli, won-ton and fish ball soup, stir fry vegetables, just to name a few. The refreshing fruit juices and chinese tea prepared by the waiting staff and their excellent services. The restaurant also caters for western palate. If anyone is looking for a satisfying, scrumptious and yummy meal, go to the Taste of China. You will never be disappointed! 👍👍

Lovely staff. Delicious roast pork with crispy crackling. Best place in town for fruit flavour bubble teas.

Not recommended. Food was not as expected, the chicken ball was literally nuggets wrapped in flour. the chow mein fried rice was a disappointment. Poor quality.

So happy with quality of the food here and the service is amazing people are always smiling and happy to serve. 10 out of 10 for me, happy bellies all round!!!

If I could give 0 I would the food has no taste I ordered noodles and it tasted like oil.

Really authentic Hong Kong style food! Recently reopened with updated decor, feels nice and cosy. The fish tank is a nice touch. Reminds me of really fancy restaurants in HK. The food continues to be generous in portion and fairly priced.

Just had a fantastic lunch time meal , had the set menu 2 causes for six pound ninety good selection to choose from one of the best Chinese restaurants in leicester would certainly recommend

All you can eat love the price staff very helpful great food everyone must come here

I had the best bubble tea ever here! The servers are really nice, very polite and very helpful! I loved the place. I visited Leicester twice and went to Taste of China three times just because I fell in love with their bubble tea (I recommend the chocolate one). It was the best one I've had so far! 😊

This restaurant never disappoints! The food comes out quickly, and is piping hot too! We had the beef XO ho fun noodles and special mixed noodle soup bowl. Always tasty and will keep us coming back for more!

Visited at lunch time and 2 of us had the 2 courses for £6.70. We shared starters of spring rolls which we had 2 which were quite small but very tasty served with sweet chilli sauce. The other starter was satay chicken which was AMAZING. Will have this as a main next time. Mains were good, one was chicken and black bean sauce in noodle soup the other was sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice. Good quick service aswell.

Quickest service ever. Always frsh n tasty

Very authentic experience. Really good Chinese if you are wanting a quick meal that ticks all the boxes.

I just ordered chicken in lemon souce it should be chrispy chicken i received something jelly What taste like a vinegar with lemon discusting chicken had bones i can not put even this to my mounth becouse it smells so badly. Definytly i will not come back there!!!!

We came here for a Sunday Lunch and was very disappointed with the foods and service.It was not very hot and they bring the food at the same time as the starter.

Very nice food quick and friendly service

I could see what they cooking me. Kitchen is inside the eating arrea with glass walls

They have a good set menu which is very good value for money or you can order from the regular menu.

Loved their peking duck! Good food, huge portions at great prices. Very quick and friendly service, too.

Just had dinner there and it is ok. The beef Hefen is OK.

Great find cheap large portions of tasty food quick and friendly service a must try

I used to work in town and had their lunchboxes 2 or even 3 times a week. Went here for a meal, post cinema, last Saturday. It's a basic eatery but doesn't pretend to be anything other than that. Great food, cooked in full view. Love the place and as others have commented, used extensively by chinese students.

Great service Good food Massive portions for money Authentic ethnic vibe Two main dishes for two people is roughly £15-20

Very quick service. Food piping hot. Sweet and sour chicken balls were so light and delicious and the chicken satay with the sauce was incredible. We had the two course offer with side included and it was great value for money. Will definitely return.

Poor management. Rude woman. Needs to have better service and English speaking ones at that! The food is now poor and prices have risen - why bother

Amazing food for the price !!!!

Fantastic roast meats and rice , salt pepper squid, king prawns etc Good value , fast service cafe style restaurant . Recommended

The best Chinese food ever !! Massive portions and cheap ! A must for somewhere to eat !!!

Delicious food.. just the restaurant it dirty..

I wasn't sure what to make of this place when I saw it but I was really impressed afterward. Food was great, came quickly and was great value too.

Reasonable price on the set menu. Just not good enough though to be honest. Possibly if you are on a budget you could give it a go. To be honest, you might be better going off the main menu. We saw a nice rice dish coming out and also the crispy pork looked good. The cheap deal on set menu would get a rare thumbs down from me I am afraid.

Lovely sweet restaurant on high st Leicester, very cafe like. Simple and othentic, liked by Chinese students. Food was fabulous, just the right size and price was very reasonably.

Absolutely fantastic food, very friendly and helpful staff. The price of food was very well priced, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Recommend by a friend. It was totally worth it! Definitely will visit again. Thankyou for the great service too.

Huge noodle portions, so big you can swim in the bowl. Incredibly fast service. Overall was fun and satisfying.

Fast and Friendly, food is not great but ok

Uncooked food every time . Overpriced. Staff unprofessional. Customers are believed as animals by these ppl .

Upon arriving at university my roommate and I decided that we would eat takeaway one week as a washing up-free dinner. The menu has plenty to choose from and even allows for you to choose a couple mains and a side to form a single person portion of a meal at a great price! Even does bubble tea!!!

We tryed hongkong rice The chicken ??? Seemed to be some other creature b ware

A fantastic noodle store in the middle of Leicester. Fantastic authentic Chinese food

I just came home with a tray full of bones and fat worth 10.00 GBP !!! I asked for half of the whole duck. When I opened a box just a minute ago I saw only bones from the back of the duck. No leg, no wing and 1/4 of the breast. When I said half of the duck I obviously did not mean the back half! What is more the bones were all cold, just like I have bought leftovers. Very disappointed, because the duck on display looks good. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to taste it.

This is my 3rd weekend on the trot coming here because I just love the food! It comes out quick and never disappoints

Food is always good here. It’s always packed with Chinese students and that is a sure sign that the food is authentic. The portions are big so be aware of that before you go nuts and order too much! The food is reasonably priced but the drinks can be on the expensive side, I guess they have to make some money !

First time I went I really enjoyed it... second time it was very rushed they took our plates away before finishing and the food was quite bland..

Great food served very quickly by pleasant staff. Good value and lots of choice. Very popular with Chinese locals so that says it all. No alcohol served sadly for me. Eat in or take away! Lovely food in basic restaurant.

I ordered ‘double roast with rice’ Although the chicken is a little bit overcooked, the roast duck is great! The meal includes a little vegetable, a lot of rice and two types of meats. The clerks are very busy(there are only two people to serve customers), so you need to wait for a while to get order. The price is reasonable and it doesn’t charge service fee.

Been going to this restaurant/cafe on a fairly regular basis since it opened. The food has always been great, always freshly cooked and tasty. Reasonably priced and good service. Absolutely love the salt and pepper chicken wings!!

It’s a Hong Kong style cafe and food was over priced for their quality. We ordered salt and pepper squid and was very soggy. There are several Chinese restaurants nearby and we never returned to this one.

The restaurant is just 3 minutes walk from the Clock Tower but the cooking is great that I decided to return for another night dinner. Pricing is acceptable and the cooking is in Cantonese Hong Kong style. I tried the "mixed fried rice" and the "tomato with beef rice" with good quantity but acceptable food that full me out thereafter. Highly recommend, especially for students, to have a traditional Cantonese HK style cooking without burning your pocket. Will definitely come back when I visit Leicester again.

I love this place. The big sizes of portions are perfect for me. Chicken in Satay Sauce in soup and Won Ton soup are my favourite meals. It's amazing, very warming and tasty. Prices are fair. Customer service is very nice.

Their french toasts are amazing

To set the scene I am not a fan of Chinese food in the UK period, it’s a subject that I could go on and on about at great lengths. I have walked past this place many times, it is always busy with Chinese and other neighbouring nationalities dining. As the saying goes “eat where the locals eat”. Ever looked at the table next to you and wondered why you can’t find what they are eating on the menu? If you are in the Taste of China, it probably isn’t on the menu! On looking at the menu I notice it is full of westernised dishes, such as sweet and sour pork etc. To prove the point to my wife, I ask the table across from us what they are eating, I know the answer, water morning glory and crispy belly pork! They confirm. I ask if they can tell me where on the menu this is, they laugh and say it is not, and probably not available to us. I decide to ask anyway, although the pork is not on the menu they tell me that they have some but no water morning glory left. The table next to us joke saying, it’s only 12 pm, politics they say, “we recommend coming regularly and they may let you have the specials another time, after a few visits”. At this point I felt like walking out!! If not for my hungry child and wife I would have, instead, I had a bowl of, Just ok noodle soup with crispy pork. The dining experience here was not the best, and somewhat disappointing. As far as the bowl of noodles that I had, they were ok, edible, I could have easily made them better at home, The bubble tea was good. Ultimately this is a shame, rather than discriminating against nationalities, make the obviously delicious dishes available to everyone! If people ask for the generic Chinese restaurant dishes that they get from there local takeaway, tell them proudly that you cook real Chinese food, dishes that can be found in China!

Set meals very good value no alcoholic drinks very quick service.

Decent food and price. Fairly quick service.

When I was paying, I was asked to pay a higher price than the one I saw in the menu. I pointed out their ‘mistake’ and the staff pretended she doesn't know about this! The other staff added that the menu was wrong but still charged me the higher price. Disgusting!

I was told to pay a different price rather than the one I saw in the menu. That annoyed me. And staff did not apologise for the ‘confusion’(?). Beware of this if you have to go here. Of course I will not return.

Love this place - the food is excellent and the service is great. We eat there often - highly recommended!

Basic but very good food served pipng hot and service is first class also good value for money
