Upon walking in the restaurant it looks quaint. The woman at the counter was friendly and gave good service up until I had to call the restaurant back due to a misunderstanding with what I ordered. There was definitely a disconnect in what I wanted versus what I received. I asked for a pan fried noodle and well I received a large portion of cheap bean sprouts with a few other veggies thrown into a flavor lacking "sauce", and a side of minuscule little crunchy pieces aka noodles. The vegetable rice lacked flavor and had white or yellow onion instead of scallions. The mock chicken meat was not bad but not good enough for me to return here. Service turned bad when I called back to explain my confusion on the noodles. I explained to the woman that was not what I was expecting and she immediately went into defense mode and that she explained to me what it was ( clearly a disconnect) and could not take it back. Did not offer a remake or anything. But not surprised at the level of service when something goes wrong. I even left a tip. 2 stars because the mock chicken was alright but not good enough to return.

The service was horrible we were never offered drinks and when we asked we never got them till the end of the meal. The server never checked in with us how the meal was or if we needed anything. I wont be returning.

I'm always searching for Chinese restaurants that offer vegetarian chicken and this is our new go-to place. We ordered the fried spring rolls, egg drop soup and general tso's vegetarian chicken. Was it healthy? Nope. Was it sweet and sticky and exactly what we were craving? You bet! We will definitely be back. The staff is friendly, the place is spotless and the food was great.

I dropped $50 on the most ABSOLUTELY BLAND food here tonight. I asked for both dishes to be extra spicy. The Family Tofu dish was nice to look at, but NO FLAVOR. The Twice-cooked pork looked A LOT BETTER, with obvious chiles and oil added... LOTS OF MEAT AND LOTS OF VEGETABLES, BUT NO FLAVOR.... I'm more about quality than quantity,quality brings you back to a place... And I have no idea what to do with all of this leftover FLAVORLESS FOOD.... I don't go to casinos , but I feel like I JUST LOST $50'... Hopefully,, I don't get the TRIFECTA, and get sick from OVERPRICED AND FLAVORLESS FOOD. Will I be back ? UMMMMMMM NO

My 90 year old mother is in a local retirement home and after 14 years, has tired of the institution kitchen prepared food that she eats twice daily. I asked her what food sounded good to her for us to bring a takeout lunch? She informed me that Chinese would be a nice change. After Yelping the local area, Great taste Restaurant was the most convenient, so we stopped by at their 11:00 AM opening time and ordered 3 takeout combination meals at $55 with tax ( no beverages) for mom, my wife and I. While waiting, we both noted the clean dining area and restrooms and after a short wait, left with a cardboard box full of Styrofoam containers. The portion size of each entree was generous however, all of the food lacked any seasonings or flavor. The hot and sour soup was hot in temperature but on the bland side in taste. The fried prawns were heavily breaded, not the typical light tempura, but also lacked any flavor. The same for my wife's chow mein and my General Tso's chicken. Even adding salt and pepper would have helped. None of us tasted the sides of fried rice as we had already had enough mediocrity. It all served its purpose as Mom was pleased to have the take out lunch however, I wished I had done a better job of Yelping to find food worth the money or the trip. The meal was the definition of Meh! In all fairness, we dine weekly at an Asian restaurant where we live in Seaside that has a yelp rating of 4.5 and we now appreciate Candy's place even more after dining here!

The portions are small. I chose a lunch entree and I've never seen such a small amount of food. It would fit on a salad plate. My friend ordered from the dinner menu and the portions were what you'd expect from a lunch menu. Been here several times before and now they've gotten stingy. No wonder they were dead at peak lunch hour.

So I'm not sure if there are multiple of these or Chinese restaurateurs are just very unoriginal. I can never remember what levels of taste "good" or "great" I've been to and where. I got the combo with general tso, fried shrimp and bbq pork. The general tso was good. Not the best but definitely one of the top. Tasty sauce. Not too spicy or metallic. It was ridiculously hot though fresh out of the kitchen. Good cuts of chicken without inedible pieces. Solid. The fried rice was good. All of the requisite parts. Even some crispy vegetables. The shrimp batter was a little too heavy. Also unevenly cooked. One was in Incinerated. The bbq pork was super weak. Pale and meager. Not a very strong showing. I appreciate the soup with a to go order. Never had that before. The hot and sour was both hot and sour. A little thick so again, ridiculously hot coming out of the kitchen. Maybe this is the new normal but I thought the price was a little high. I'm also probably a little spoiled not paying tax but it adds up. Solid four. Some weak spots and value kept it from a five.
