| - On a holiday, you can always count on the local Chinese restaurant to be open for business. After a terrible rain delay at the ballpark and zero food, my husband and I were soaking wet, tired, irritated, and starving. Enter: Great Taste. We searched Yelp for the nearest Chinese joint once we entered the car and Great Taste was it. It's a few blocks south of the ballpark so it's within walking distance.
We stopped in for takeout around 9:45 p.m. because we just wanted to get back to our Airbnb and relax with our dinner. They had a huge menu that included lunch and dinner specials. We both ordered one of the dinner combos: Mongolian beef and sweet and sour chicken. Both specials came with an egg roll (you can ask for a veggie one if you like, which I did).
Like other reviewers, the food was kind of bland. I'm used to Mongolian beef having a strong soy/teriyaki flavor and this didn't really do it for me. The beef was also a *bit* fatty, but maybe that had to do with the time of day we were ordering. My husband's sweet and sour chicken was a bit better but the pieces were a bit soft. I wish I had ordered that instead of my selection. The egg roll was good but you have to grab your own sweet and sour sauce if you're a takeout customer, which I didn't do, so I was sad and didn't eat all of it.
This was a decent place to order from. Not the best Chinese food I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. They have a buffet during the day which might be awesome so try that. The takeout was quick in coming (we only waited like 10 minutes) and everyone was really nice.
