I absolutely love this place. It's a hole in the wall and a little bit of a tight place but the food is so worth it. Delicious and as authentic as you can get in this area.

I grow up in northeastern China and moved to US 8 years ago.This is the most authentic food I’ve ever had in the US. It taste like HOME! I dream for dumplings and big buns like this. It’s very hard to find northeastern Chinese food. The food gives me such great comfort when I’m taking the bar exam in Buffalo. I really appreciate the business and wish the best for it.

Food and service was very good. Scallion chicken very good..super tender and flavorful. Only complaint my son had was that he didn't like they left the bones in. Steamed vegetable buns..a little lacking in flavor. Chicken leek dumplings were very tasty. The little noodles N1 was awesome. Definitely will come back.

Great little place with amazing food and friendly service. Based on other reviews, we ordered the spicy chicken w. Red peppers (n.43). It was delicious! I hate saucy chicken dishes, and this was perfect. No sauce, perfect amount of spice, crunch and saltiness. We also ordered n.42(shredded pork and scallions) which was so delicious and a cozy dish. The dumplings and buns were also great! Remember to order your steamed rice separately as the dishes do not come with it. Will be back!

Came here because I heard they had some of the best dumplings around. Ended up ordering fried pork dumplings and pork buns as well. My original order was apparently picked up by someone else though so I ended up with pork & shrimp dumplings instead. Day of they were phenomenal (really enjoyed the dipping sauce as well) Leftovers were a different story however. The next day the dumplings and buns which I reheated in a pan ended up disagreeing with me which ended up with having to trash the rest of it. I plan on giving it another chance and trying something new next time just hope it turns out better.

Wanton soup was wonderful. Dumplings were flavorful. Scallion Chicken was even better as a leftover cold. Vegetable buns were huge. I am glad we checked out this place based on the other reviewers because I agree that it's the best Chinese that I have tried in the area so far. We plan to go back again and try some more.

For a more authentic Chinese restaurant experience, this is a great place to go to without breaking the bank. It is best to come here with a few friends or more (sometimes I go with parties of 10+), so that you can have food "Family Style". Instead of ordering just one dish for yourself, order a bunch and get a few bowls of rice to share as well. I have typically paid $8-9 with a larger group, and maybe $11-13 with a group of two. For amenities, there is self serve hot tea and water and at each table there are Chinese black vinegar bottles, soy sauce bottles and Chili Oil (it's hardly spicy though). Servers speak English and Chinese. But do take note that they only take cash here! Lastly, if you have a large party coming, I suggest calling ahead as courtesy so they can prepare by moving tables/chairs to make accommodations. Favorite Items: Braised Spare Ribs with cilantro (I forget the number for that but it's written on a white board or paper on the wall of the restaurant). These are fall-off-the-bone spare ribs that are infused with flavor. About 10 or so ribs per order. I highly recommend adding a bowl of rice to this dish or scallion pancakes because the ribs and sauce are very salty. This is also a great dish to split with others. Scallion Pancakes: $3.50 (at time of this review) *Sometimes they run out of this by the end of the day* This is the thicker version of scallion pancakes as opposed to a flatter, flakier kind served at other Chinese restaurants. Though it is quite thick (maybe almost an inch thick?), it has crispy surfaces and a fluffy interior that breaks into a few layers. It also comes cut into 6 wedges with a slightly sweet and vinegary dipping sauce accompanying it too. #38 - About $9 - roughly translated into a spicy, numbing rice noodle soup with napa cabbage and pork. You could eat this dish on it's own without sharing, but if you want different flavors it goes well to bring that spicy/numbing flavor into the meal without becoming the only flavor you eat. The soup is not terribly spicy, but expect to get hit by a lot of numbing with stray peppercorns. If you have other food, you can usually diffuse that flavor with some scallion pancake or rice. I usually am also pleasantly surprised at the quantity of meat in this dish as well. Eggplant with pork -#35: About $9. If you don't like eggplant, maybe you haven't tried Chinese eggplant so this is worth a shot! The best eggplant (like many things) is fried. Many Chinese eggplant recipes follow this method, by initially deep frying the chunks of eggplant before tossing them into a thick sauce. Personally, I've never tasted any eggplant as good as my dad's...but I'd say this has been the best version out of any eggplant I've tried at a Chinese restaurant. The sauce is a little more sour/vinegary than I would like (which seems to be common for eggplant sauces). However, the texture was pleasant, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dumplings: 12 pcs - Steamed/boiled ones - $9.50, Pan Fried - $10.00. There are several filling variants in these dumplings, from chicken, pork, beef to fish and shrimp + a mix of vegetables. A quick word of caution to anyone who hasn't had Chinese "leek". This is actually the Chinese Garlic Chive, which has a pretty strong flavor that is definitely an acquired taste. It looks like a long and wide blade of grass that is dark green. Not like the western leeks with white bottoms that transition from light green to dark green at the tops. However, other than that, the dumplings are great! They're home-made and fresh! Maybe one order could be a meal for you (personally I'd want two!). Also, just pay the $0.50 more to get the pan fried ones. Sure it might be a little more unhealthy, but that crispy, golden bottom just makes everything better. There are plenty of other options I have not covered, but these are just some of my favorites so far! Check them out!

EVERY REVIEW IS POINT ON. 5☆ the food is absolutely amazing and so well balanced with flavors I have never experienced. I'm still speechless over the size of the Steamed bums . I posted the menu because the menu online is only in Chinese hope it helps out . Also they are willing to adjust dishes witch is awesome I definitely recommend it

Great hole in the wall place with Chinese food that’s as authentic as you’re going to get in this area. They are always so nice there. It’s simple, comfortable and delicious. It’s a lot of good for the price! I can never finish a soup in one setting. Never had a bad meal there. Always soul satisfying comfort food that’s delicious!

Whole in the wall place with authentic Chinese food in Kenmore. The scallion pancakes and spicy chicken were the stars of the show. Dumplings were good and the steam buns were tasty, but could have used a little more filling. Fair prices and the food doesn't take too long to be made.

Do not miss out on this place. But also don’t take my table cause I’ll be there!

Each dumpling was expertly crafted, and the accompanying dipping sauces elevated the experience even further. It was evident that the chef's attention to detail and commitment to quality ingredients were present in every bite. For the main course, I decided to try their signature dish, the braised pork belly. The dish arrived beautifully presented, and the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The pork belly was incredibly tender and succulent, with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The accompanying sauce was a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, perfectly complementing the dish.

Delicious dumplings and bao buns!! We are stuffed and great value for them!! Tasty and good, we will definitely be back. Worth the wait on their busy days

Moved up from NYC to Buffalo, and let me tell you, this is probably the closest to authentic Chinese food you'll find anywhere around the area. If you're looking for Chinese American cuisine (you know, the general tso's chicken, the beef and broccoli, the lo mein and fried rice), then you're at the wrong spot. If you're looking for, say, sour mustard fish filet stew (if you know, you know), then this is it. Look no further. That is all.

The food and service was awesome. Definitely a good restaurant to checkout if you are visiting Niagara falls or living around the area.

Don't miss this place! I tried several dishes and they were all excellent! Fantastic use of spices, and quality ingredients. The best I've Ever had. So good that I called them back to tell them so after my 1st order. After raving about the food and asking the lady on the phone to please tell the kitchen, she asked "So no problem?" That made me sad. More people should personally give compliments for such a great experience, instead of only complaining. I think it's nicer than just a positive online review. P.S.- I would recommend take out. The dining area is quite small

I don't know if ii is just me but if you're not Asian you get the 3rd class service here. They start taking the order of other tables that arrived later than me and I had to bring the attention about that. My order just was a simple dish and I noticed that every one else food came out of the kitchen first. I want to make clear that the 1 star given was for the service obtained not because of the food.

Hello guys, today I went to a restaurant called Home taste. Prior I had done my research because I wanted to go to an authentic Chinese restaurant and here it was. So I ordered the Qishan noodle soup (spicy) the broth was very flavorful and honestly the noodles remind me a little bit of spaghetti but it was pretty nice. I was actually surprised with this one because of the fact that it didn't have as many vegetables but a lot of bra and noodles and some meat and then some what looks like leaves on the side of it to add that oomph! Mwah💋 I definitely recommend this dish as it is very flavorful Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We also ordered some steamed buns with beef inside of it. The bond was very fluffy and I love the texture of it that made it very enjoyable since I have a sensory thing you know. The meat was also very good inside although it wasn't as much in it also I did not expect the Buns to be that big but it was nice cool. The steamed buns came with what looks like chili sauce or chili oil and I with every bite I always dipped it in chili oil it's kind of. sweet and sour and I love it Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The person that I was with had some General Tso's chicken and it came with a side of sticky rice. One thing that she noticed about this General Tso's chicken that set it apart from takeout Chinese places which in my opinion is fake Chinese is that the meat was fresh and very good and she would also put some of the chili oil on some of the sticky rice. After this experience she is going to eventually take her daughter there to try it because her daughter likes food that is fresh and likes to try other culture food. Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lastly I have a milk tea drink which tastes like it is consisting of honey it is not too sweet but not too bitter you can taste a lot of milk. Not bad Rate:⭐️⭐️ Based on all of my rates for all the dishes I conclude that home taste is a Hidden Gem so please if you're around Buffalo New York I urge you to come by and have some food. You'll be amazed by the authenticity

Amazing hole in the wall with incredible authentic Chinese food! We ordered the pork and shrimp fried dumplings, pork buns (which were huge), shredded pork with bean sauce and onions, and chicken cubes with cayenne pepper. The portions were huge and lasted us two full meals. 10/10!

I had heard great things about the authenticity of this place, so I had to try. I was a bit underwhelmed, it was also rather pricey. They forgot our white rice with the general tso’s chicken (which was ok tasting but not very hearty). Though, I really appreciated how large the pork buns were! The sauce on the side had good flavor. Sadly the baby bok choy was soggy and lacked any flavor. Maybe it was just an off day… I would probably still order from here again.

Very happy with the food here! It was recommended to us by a colleague. We got cumin beef, double cooked pork, and green beans

Wow. So this is not your standard American Chinese food that all tastes the same. This Chinese food is definitely closer to the real deal and every dish has it own seasonings and flavor. I ordered 4 different dishes and 2 dumpling and can confirm the preparation was not the same for any of the dishes. Great job Home taste keep up the good cooking

I want there because of the high reviews. I ordered the spicy chicken with red peppers and chicken and leek dumplings. The dumplings were okay their dipping sauce was very light on flavor. The spicy chicken was terrible. It was overly battered, over fried, very dry with no sauce. Will never order that again
