Taste of China

Taste of China is a Chinese restaurant on Falls of Neuse Road in north Raleigh, set in a cozy dining room in the shopping center there. The kitchen works from fresh ingredients and recipes that have been tested over many years. The menu covers a good variety of traditional dishes.

The aim is an authentic Chinese meal that brings flavor and a little nostalgia with it. Regulars come back for the same handful of plates, and one diner called it an amazing dining experience. It is an easy stop for that part of town.
