I have gotten take-out and dined in at Great Taste two or three times due to the exceptional reviews on this website and I am greatly disappointed! It wasn't terrible by any stretch but it definitely does not deserve the hype that it is receiving on this website. I can't say I have had a bad meal hear, maybe some weird, but nothing great. I am a big general tso's chicken fan and I would rate their's as average. I asked for it extra spicy/hot and it came out mild at best. The egg drop soup is extremely salty and thick. I like it to be a lot thinner and a lot less salty. Dining in, the service is great. They seat you promptly and treat you like you are in a $40/plate restaurant (i.e. putting your napkin on your lap, bringing tea as you are seated, hot towel at the end of the meal). They are a little pushy when it comes to place an order, but I guess that is better than never seeing your server. I'm not trying to recommend against this restaurant but I just just wanted to clear the air on the clearly biased hype about this establishment on this website.
Pros: Great service and atmosphere.
Cons: Over-rated food.

We dine at Great Taste nearly every week as we love Chinese food. The food here is as good if not better than famous NYC restaurants like Shun Lee Palace. The owner, Frank, and host, Steve, are welcoming and professional. The service is polished . Hot towels are provided after every course. For starters, the barbequed spare ribs are huge and meaty. Egg and spring rolls are also great. There are many superb entrees like Dragon meets Phoenix, which is part Gen. Tsao's chicken and part shrimp and vegetables, perfect for 2 to share. Also notable are Dr. Blau's chicken, tangerine chicken, shrimp with peas, peking duck, and many creative dishes not normally seen. Nice cold fruit platter served complimentary after dinner. Decor is very tasteful. Just a super place to dine with great food and service.
Pros: service, great drinks, excellent cuisine and preparation
Cons: neighborhood in New Britain
