"We have tried takeout several times from Taste of Beijing. We’ve appreciated their direct online ordering through their website, which doesn’t include any upcharges like ordering through GrubHub or similar sites often does. For Covid precautions, they have plastic sheeting dividing the counter from the rest of the restaurant, and handle food and payment through slits in the plastic. They have signs up encouraging wearing masks as well (though the staff haven’t always been wearing them). The food itself is fairly good. One favorite is chicken and rice soup for two. It's chicken and rice in broth, simple, but you get a whole pint for under $6 and comes with tasty wontons as well. You can make it a meal and it's a great value. The Peking duck rolls are good: shredded Peking duck and lettuce in rolled flour tortillas with plum dipping sauce. A nice snack, not quite worth $6.50, but nice if you want a bit of Peking duck without the full production. The steamed pork dumplings were fairly good and standard, with the right proportion of meat and dough, and the usual soy sauce dip. Shanghai noodles provided a good showing. They were very flavorful and not too greasy. These were more spicy than most places we've tried, just shy of being too hot for Mr. Cuddles. We’ve tried the triple delight and sesame chicken. Both were tasty and about as expected. The sesame chicken had a good proportion of broccoli to chicken. This is a reasonably priced Chinese restaurant and we’ll likely be back again many more times. Give them a try!"
