Wanted to try somewhere different for takeout and came across this place on Yelp. So happy I listened to my fellow helpers - this place was great!Service was fast and food was wonderful. Ordered: Salt and Pepper Pork Chops - 9/10 (perfect to cooked, not greasy, tender meat, just needed a little more salt and heat)Bbq pork fried rice - 10/10 (seasoned lightly with large pieces of pork and yummy veggies; rice was fluffy not dry)Mongolian beef- 5/10 (meat was perfectly cooked and tender but the flavor was bland with no heat)Will be back to try more dishes in the near future.

Wow. I work down the street and as I'm cat-sitting this weekend I didn't want to do my normal grocery order. I ran out of easy to bring stuff (as I walk to work), so had to explore options close to work.Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Taba Taba! I called in shortly after they opened (11am), super friendly service by phone. They accepted Apple Pay so placed a pick-up order by phone. I'm a fan of Chinese, and with all my favorite cuisines I have a standard/default initial order: Chicken Fried Rice & Egg Rolls. I start there and it helps me confirm I'm willing to explore more of their dishes.Fresh ingredients, generous portion sizes and expertly cooked dishes. I have had A LOT of Chicken Fried Rice in my time - this is the best I've ever tasted. The amount of each ingredient is perfect. Eggs perfectly fried. Moist chicken and rice. Again, fresh veggies! And the Egg Rolls were huge and tasty. They were different from the standard, I'm used to - but really enjoyed them and the sauce that came with (really not a huge sauce person, but with how everything was tasting, had to try).I did a pick-up, but the restaurant was clean and very welcoming. I bet it gets load as it gets crowded but super comfortable. I even got to see inside the kitchen, walking past an open door and that's clean and organized. I also sensed there was a sharing or knowledge and expertise going on in the kitchen and I also enjoyed that vibe. Parking lot across the street can get crowded but I think this Plaza has one in back. Likely you'll find something. Super convenient location.Cannot recommend Taba Taba enough! Are you craving some delicious Chinese Cuisine?! Look no further and enjoy!!

After reading Yelp reviews of Taba Taba, we decided to pick up Chinese take out from this restaurant on our way back from the Santa Cruz mountains. We ordered orange chicken, beef chow fun, pot stickers, basil beef, salt and pepper shrimp. We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived. That is always a benefit. The Food: The orange chicken was way too sweet(2/5). The beef chow fun (3/5) lacked flavor. The noodles were very thin. Much different than the thicker and wide noodles that I prefer. No hot wok char flavor typical of an authentic Chinese restaurant. The basil beef (4/5) was our favorite dish. The salt and pepper shrimp (3/5) lacked seasoning and spice. Lastly the pot stickers (3/5) were very average and not memorable. Unfortunately, this was a very forgettable meal. We certainly won't be going back to Taba Taba with so many choices of authentic Chinese and great Asian cuisine in the South Bay. Taba Taba has spent too much time in Los Gatos and needs some inspiration with a trip back to China.

The food is great. I have many favorites and sometimes branch out to try new things. This place has the best service in town. They are so nice. It is a chill spot with traditional music and plenty of seating. They have a large mural on the wall that is very cool and lots of other things to look at.

Taba Taba is consistently good. I've dined in and had take out Servers are friendly. Food is always tasty, fresh and not oily. I recently had the Beef and Broccoli - super tender. Restaurant and bathrooms are nice and clean as well. Always stocked with soap and paper towels.

Just yards off the main drag in toney Los Gatos you'll find this delightful small restaurant serving up big flavours and a big menu of traditional homey Chinese comfort cuisine. Quality of the food and execution of the dishes at Taba Taba Bistro are top notch.Hot and sour soup was excellent, extremely well balanced in flavour, full of bamboo and tofu and all the brilliant ingredients and seasonings this soup should always have. I could eat a double size bowl, it was that good. Egg fried rice, packed with equal amounts of egg and veggies as it was rice, was very good. Snapper fillets in black bean sauce lunch special comes with a serving of rice, either white or brown. Fish was cooked perfectly, sauce was fragrant and savoury, as I thoroughly enjoy the fermented black bean base, which complements perfectly vegetables and fish. Plenty of onion pieces and large chunks of bell peppers, mostly green but a few red ones too.Service is relatively friendly, not the typical grumpy vibe you encounter in similar restaurants deep in the downtowns of large metropolises. They comp'd Yelp pal Steve a bowl of soup, owner said "on the house". All in all, Taba Taba China Bistro is a solid spot for delectable Chinese food any time of day and any day of the week.

Super simple, but not yummy,Nothing to come back for, the noodles had little flavor, also the Peking duck we came for seems to be not fresh

20 S Santa Cruz Ave, Ste 204 Los Gatos, CA 95030"Taba Taba China Bistro" is serving up delicious Chinese foods in downtown Los Gatos. I was looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the South Bay, and I noticed this place had a 4.6 Yelp average. It also had alot of good reviews by other Yelp Elites. So on a sunny Saturday, my Yelp friend Jade T. and I went to try Taba Taba China Bistro. As we entered, we were greeted and directed to a table. This isn't a big restaurant. It's not a fancy place either. When we were there, there wasn't white table cloths or waiters in bowties. There were plates and forks on the table. This is an Americanized Chinese restaurant. That's fine, because I'm 2nd Gen ABC. I asked the nice lady serving us for a pot of tea and chopsticks.When you eat in a Chinese restaurant, you eat Chinese style. My friend ordered the "Fish Filet in Black Bean Sauce" rice plate. I ordered the "Seafood Tofu Claypot w/ Tofu" and "Egg Fried Rice" to share. We started with small bowls of tasty Hot 'n Sour soup. The portion sizes of the dishes were just right. This place serves very good Chinese food. My friend let me try the fish filet, and it was excellent. The meat was flaky and firm. The sauce was light and had perfect seasoning. I ordered the Seafood Tofu Claypot. It could of used more gravy, but maybe it cooked off. What's a Claypot entrée? It's usually like a stew with different ingredients, and has a good amount of gravy. They cook it in the claypot and bring it directly to your table. The claypot retains the heat, and keeps the food warm for a long time. It goes well with a bowl of rice. Our Seafood Tofu Claypot was very good. It was loaded with fish, shrimps, scallop, squid and various veggies. Price: $21.95. The Egg Fried Rice was cooked perfectly. It was moist and lightly seasoned. The taste of the rice should never overpower the entrée. Price: $12.95. I liked the interior decor of Taba Taba. The antique artwork reminded me of Old San Francisco Chinatown. So, overall a wonderful first time experience. Great Chinese food in a casual atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious. Kind woman behind the register. Best Chinese food in Los Gatos for sure!!
