Toptaste - Porirua

We have dined in once, which was absolutely amazing! Beautiful food and top-notch service.<br/ <br/ Their take-away's are just as amazing, in particular we love their Thai Chilli Beef Noodles, Orange Beef and Lemon Chicken dishes. The meat is always succulent!<br/ <br/ We always try treat ourselves to their food once a month or so, travelling half an hour each way......it's that good!

We have been visiting Top Taste Restaurant for several years now. We love the quality of the food so much that we drive all the way down from Palmerston North just to eat there. We have spent several birthday dinners at Top Taste. It is well named, the food is outstanding.The restaurant is decorated with beautiful lights and Chinese paintings, with no loud music or other distractions.The staff are friendly and well mannered. The food is authentic Chinese cuisine and the helpings are generous. My mum has special dietary requirements and the chef made her a delicious plain fish and vegetable stirfry on request- no wonder it's her favourite place to eat! The desserts are very good, (I had a quite nice tirimasu last visit), especially compared to some Chinese places we have been to, but we tend to focus on the Chinese food when we eat there.For three of us, all we can eat usually costs around $70-80, including a pot of Chinese tea and a bowl of rice on the side. The size of the meals makes it very good value.Overall I would highly recommend Top Taste for a nice low-key evening meal or lunch with a relaxed atmosphere. I felt compelled to write a decent review on Top Taste after I saw a couple of mediocre reviews here which it doesn't deserve.Hope this was helpful.

Was there last week, good service and atmosphere. The flavour of the food was a bit conservative for me,  abit more flavouring would have been nice. I found this place to be a bit pricey for what it was offering. May return at some stage.

Honestly the best salt n pepper squid in Porirua. Orange Beef is pretty good. Chicken and cashew if you want lots of veges! Get fresh spring rolls wontons and dim sims they are all pretty tasty. Best chinese in Porirua.

We have had meals at Top Taste for many years. When they moved to their present premises a few years ago, they spent a lot of money on a high quality fit-out. Very sadly, the quality of the food changed for the worse. We had two very disappointing meals one of which we commented to the mother? about. For example, I recall that the won ton soup had tasteless stock and very ordinary won tons. After waiting some months, we tried again, and the service was poor as well as the food.After an absence of a few years, we decided last night to give it another try. IT WAS GREAT! The menu is totally different to before. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed a very pleasant meal, competently and cheerfully served. The Mains of special note were Ginger Duck and Korean Stone Pot, but the entrees and other dishes were very tasty as well. It is really good to again have a high quality Chinese Restaurant in Porirua!
