The portion sizes were small.the prawn toast was extremely greasy,the soup bland Over priced for what you got. When I went to pay I asked if I could use my seniors card as it was displayed but told it was such a meal... More

We have eaten at this restaurant many many times over the years and still do once a week. The food is beautiful and has to be the best Chinese in Cairns. I work in the Tourism industry and recommend this restaurant all the time. The people who i recommend it to including Chinese guests holidaying from china, love the food.... More

As a former chef I would consider the word "nice" as a bit of a slap in the face. Our party all seemed to be of the same opinion. The food and service was good but not outstanding, All just a little too bland.

Our experience at this restaurant can be summed up with one word: disappointment. Terrible service: we tried to ask a waiter about our dishes which had still not come after 40 minutes. They gave us a terse reply, didn't even listen to us till the end and walked away quickly. Food tastes average. Maybe worse than your run of mill... More

Six of us dined at Taste of China having walked in off the street without a reservation. We were greeted and seated in a friendly manner and presented with the menu and wine list. Throughout the evening the service was attentive and we were made to feel welcome. The food was very good and was served all together to allow... More

This is quality chinese dining in an informal setting. Good wine list and staff with a sense of humour. Sechwan chef produces as good as I have tasted in Sechwan itself.

The food is excellent with traditional Chinese meals available. Everything is fresh, with a great array of seafood dishes on the menu and the service is friendly and prompt. I have been to this restaurant regularly over the last 8 years and continue to return whenever I am in Cairns.
