We were 50/50 on our main. Good sized portions considering we ordered small plates. Our starters were good but you can't really go wrong with fries and garlic bread. Service was fantastic and atmosphere was really great. We felt very comfortable here and the staff made us feel very welcome.
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!
We dined at Top Taste last week. The food was excellent as always. I recommend the duck triangles entree. The staff were lovely. I've never been disappointed dining here.
We have dined in once, which was absolutely amazing! Beautiful food and top-notch service.
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!
We always try treat ourselves to their food once a month or so, travelling half an hour each way......it's that good!
We LOVE this place! Been here half a dozen times now and we always get treated like royalty. Staff are excellent with kids and even give them colouring in paper and pencils while they wait for their meals. Ambience is lovely and quiet and food is amazing! Always well presented and taste wonderful. And their dessert cakes are to die for! Thoroughly recommend Top Taste to anyone wanting to dine out in Porirua City.

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.
The food was fantastic! I recommend the duck curry. Very very good. Service let itself down tonight. There is usually an asian girl on who is fantastic but she wasnt there.
I give them 5 stars, only for their takeaway. We have tried a few in this area and this one is the best!
Their dishes have a reasonable amount of food for your money. They are very friendly and get your order out fast.
We eat here often and when friends or family come into town, it is reasonable and cheerful! =)
My wife and I have dined there at least once a month for around ten years. The service is colourful and you get different quality service everytime you go there. DONT go there expecting five star service , relax and enjoy the staff and they will enjoy you as well. The food rates higher than the service sometimes but , hey , that's life.
Excellent food, been there multiple times...never had a problem with service, lovely people.Can't get over how good their food is !
Absolutely delicious. The food was sensational and the service top notch.
We did find it a bit pricey $195 for 2 adults and 1 kid. 3 entrees, 3 mains and a sundae for our kid. 2 beers and a soft drink.
However due to the delicious food and amazing service we would definitely go again.
I've seen Top Taste restaurant for years in passing and now regret not dinning out there sooner. Staff were friendy and efficient, food was of excellent quality and nice surroundings. I had the classics of chicken and corn soup (to start) and sweet and sour pork. Both are what you expect and tasty. My partner had satay chicken with noodles, tasted wonderful. When food is ordered you can get a small or a large. Small was fine for a person. We did see the large portions and they would be perfect for groups to share. Nice going Top Taste, I'll be back.
Great service, prompt and efficient.
Plenty of options and great variety, food freshly cooked.
Group of 8 and all very satisfied with meals
First time to Top Taste for about 5 years. Great selections on entrees and mains. Our family of 4 enjoyed 3 entrees shared, the Wontons, Pork buns and duck triangles. Mains were very nice too, but if you want to get to a dessert then order the small main. They do offer take home containers too, and these are recyclable.
Desserts of cheesecake, ice cream and sorbet were also enjoyed.
Great family restaurant. Lovely ambience, where the music does not over-power the conversation. We had the 3 for 2 deal on a Thursday. A great idea for large groups.
Great authentic Cantonese food, catered to fit NZ taste even better. Their sauce is like magic. Owners are very friendly people that can enjoy a relaxing chat and share a few laughs. Top 2 best restaurant in Porirua City.
Great environment, great service.
Not authentic Chinese restaurant, although it's run by Chinese.
The Chinese food, with European infusion. If you want authenticity, this may not be the place for you.
Still food was tasty, great location with easy parking. Hence the 5 stars.
Always a wonderful meal. Fabulous services. Friendly staff
Best service with kids! We’re visiting from Australia and dropped in for dinner on our last night in New Zealand (also my husband’s birthday). We felt so comfortable and welcomed - all of the staff were amazing to our kids! The food was also really yummy, I strongly recommend the sizzling satay beef. Thank you again!
Loved everything about this place atmosphere, our host and the food highly recommend 🥰
Great place with a nice menu. loved the tasting platter Especially the coconut crumbed calamari. Our waitress was great nice and charming. Would definitely go again
I Cannot fault our dining experience. The food was delicious and the service absolutely amazing.
This place was pretty good. The staff were great, good menu and lovely decor and decoration. The food was good, but not quite as good as we were expecting based on everything else about the place. It would probably be amazing with friends and sharing, which is more what the menu seems designed for.
My chicken satay noodles were so delicious 😋. We were kinda booted out by 9pm as they wanted to close up though 😅
The service brilliant and friendly, fabulous menu food absolutely delicious. Enjoyed the food so much went two nights in a row. I am known for being very fussy but seriously cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant congratulations to all the team well done will be back.
Ginormous portion when I ordered a nasi goreng. Good taste and a reasonably long wait on a Friday evening
