Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. This restaurant was right on University avenue. Great food and service. Had some Dim Sum, and although I’m not as well versed in Dim Sum, the server was able to coach me to make the best choice. Delicious!! Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of dining at Taste in Palo Alto today for lunch, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience. The service was truly exceptional and incredibly friendly. The staff was attentive to our table’s every need and went out of their way to accommodate us. I ordered the Bo Bo Chicken, Fire Burst Cabbage, Sichuan Spicy Pickled Whole Fish with noodles, Stir fried water spinach with garlic, and the Spicy Chicken wings. (I was so eager to dig into the food that I completely forgot to snap a picture of it before diving in.)

This was so far the best Chinese food I’ve had in the bay area. Better than anything up in SF and down to San Jose. I am particularly a fan of Sichuan food, and this restaurant absolutely delivers. The balance of spice, numbing, savory, and sweet was absolutely masterful. Sure, you pay Palo Alto prices, but out of everything on this street I left here feeling like the value was unmatched. My personal highlight was the Lover’s Delight, which had a delicious combination of beef and tripe with spicy sauce and peanuts. The staff were really friendly, and service was super speedy. I will absolutely be back, as they actually offer food at a quality I’ve only ever had in a Chinese restaurant north of Toronto.

Despite having a sore throat, I was really craving some Chinese cuisine, so I requested that they not add any spice to my food. I was pleasantly surprised that even without the added kick, the dishes still tasted absolutely fantastic!

Excellent customer service and delicious food. It is not bad for Palo Alto pricing wise. The food tasted fresh and well presented. The food came fast and had a lot of umami taste. Not busy on a Thursday early opening hour. Nice and open feel. Good place for a meetup. Their red bean sesame balls were so yummy. Also liked the custard buns. The Mongolian beef were outshined by the shredded pork on veg bedding but still good.

They are very busy and I suspect there are some things this place cooks well but unfortunately our main dish was disgusting! We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it was so over cooked that you couldn’t even chew it because the texture was so hard and stringy. the wontons and the plain white rice was good. We also ordered the green bean and eggplant. It was bland and oily. Won’t be coming here again.

So glad we found this place & decided to try it! What a gem in downtown Palo Alto. The dishes were flavorful, just the right level of spicy and numbing flavors to enjoy all the dishes we ordered. Everything hot off the kitchen. The spicy fish filet was crispy on the outside and not over cooked/fried. Wonton in chili oil was really good. I joked they should sell the chili oil sauce by the jar (no, they really should) or tell me what store bought brand it is bc I want to buy some!
