Transplant from Georgia, so I am a frequent at Canton House, Oriental Pearl, Royal China. I wanted to find a decent dim sum place in VA and didn't want to drive to Marks Duck House bc of traffic, so I went to Taste Hong Kong and immediately walking in at 1115 it immediately reminded me of Buford Highway, older chinese guest speaking loudly and eating, and many other asian families enjoying dim sum. So I was immediately thrilled as this was a good sign it'll be okay. Once seated I asked for hot tea and the lady asked for my order, I was a bit confused as I saw the dim sum steam cart right by the register so I just said dim sum, but she was asking what specifically, so once I told her she went...
Walked into this place and stench of foul odor hits you like a jackhammer. Not a good sign and everything feels dirty as if washing or cleaning was never done in this place. Regarding this restaurant, way overpriced food that’s way too salty. Tried for the first time and will be for the last time. Also, waiter kept spitting everywhere and he put on a mask after done spitting on his arms and everywhere possible. What goes on behind the scenes, only God knows because I’m not going back to this place to find out.
Used to love this place but lately every time I eat there my favorite dishes (the crab balls and the salty egg yolk shrimp and squid) are sour and rotten tasting. Not sure if they have a new cook or changed their recipe/ingredients but I’ve basically just thrown out my orders the past few times I’ve gone.
The food here is overall authentic, but the service is disappointing and overpriced. The dim sum is decent, but the clay pot is mediocre. Be prepared for unfriendly looks if they think you didn’t tip enough : YMMV.

They never have anything I ask for…every time I order something it’s no problem but as soon as I ask to substitute something in the order…all of a sudden they don’t have it.
I eat here quite often since it’s the closest authentic Chinese restaurant to me. The staff are pretty nice (however can be a bit pushy with the dim sum)
I just ate the best sweet and sour chicken I've ever had. It even had pineapple and peppers. I very highly recommend.
High quality Chinese food and good lunch option. Great customer service

Food tastes good. Service is also good. Prices are reasonable.
Great DimSum near the Chantilly area. Gets busy on weekends.
