"Brought my family here because we were all craving Chinese. Since moving here, we haven’t found one that compares to our hometown. This one not only rose to the occasion, but surpassed our expectations! The decor is very simple yet classically elegant. Our server was amazing, very personable. My 16 year old is learning mandarin and he was impressed by her. The menu!!! Wow! They include pictures of everything with a disclaimer that food may not appear like the pictures. I loved this feature! Made it easy for us to choose what we wanted. Additionally, everything we ordered was picture perfect. And the portion size, woah! We had leftovers for three days. The Taste Place is a lovely gem in North Liberty, I do think you’ll get more of an experience by actually eating there and not doing take out, it was fantastic and we will definitely be back!"

"The hotpot is excellent! Lots of meat at this price. I will definitely take my family here again."

"Took our family of 4. We ordered off of the American Chinese menu mainly. Not your average run-of-the-mill Americanized Chinese. I felt their menu, their flavors, and everything in between was spectacular. I can't say I've had these flavors anywhere else, and to say that's a compliment would be an understatement. My family also very much enjoyed their dishes. I certainly recommend checking them out. Yes, we miss Yang Chow Wok. But welcome to the neighborhood, Taste Place!"

"Best authentic Chinese food in the Iowa City area! I’m especially happy because this is the same restaurant I used to eat at when I lived in Ames. They unfortunately closed in Ames, but reopened here! Everyone we brought was satisfied with the dishes and we were all very happy about this new Chinese place in town. Ordered: -Hot and Sour soup: Great dish to start with. Had great umami flavor and was not too sour. -Mu Xu pork: Pork, eggs, cucumbers, and Woodear mushroom in this dish. Delicious. The eggs had a beautiful silky texture. -Yu-Shiang eggplant with garlic sauce: It was a fan favorite. -Stewed fish in chili sauce: velvety fish that holds onto just the right flavors of the sauce. The spicy oils might be intimidating, but it actually wasn’t spicy. -Fried Chicken with Cumin: Wasn’t too impressed by this dish, but it’s because we thought it would be deep fried chicken. This dish is great for someone that really likes cumin. -Beef with Potatoes in Curry Sauce: Soft braised beef and perfectly cooked potatoes in a rich savory sauce. -Hot and Spicy chicken (purchased on a different day): good flavors but the dish uses boneless chicken. Only slightly crunchy due to the sauce. -Dry pot (purchased on a different day) great base to start with and you can add basically whatever you want in it! Price can add up quickly though. Would I return?: Yes! We are definitely going to be regulars."

"One of our favorite restaurants Yang Chow closed so we were excited to see another spot open up. We were not disappointed. The food and eat-in service was amazing. Prompt service, friendly and attentive staff, delicious food, good portion size. We were very happy with our meal. We had Chili wontons for an app, amazing and a definite recommend. The crab Rangoons were delicious and they have a good blend in their recipe. The sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice meals for our main course didn't disappoint either. Will definitely be going back"
