If you’re looking for authentic Chinese comfort food in Arlington, Home Taste is a hidden gem worth checking out.

We started with the Scallion Pancake, a crispy and flaky delight with just the right amount of chew. The Wonton Soup stole the show — tender wontons filled with perfectly seasoned pork swimming in a rich, savory broth. This dish is a must-order and easily earns a 9/10.

The House-Made Hand-Pulled Noodles were another standout. With just the right bounce and chew, they’re tossed with crisp green vegetables and a light sauce that lets the noodles shine. Another 9/10 in our books.

We also tried the Orange Chicken, which came glazed in a sticky, sweet-tangy sauce and served with fresh broccoli florets — a classic done right. The House Special Fried Rice was hearty and satisfying, filled with chicken, beef, shrimp, and veggies, making it a solid shareable option.

The Chinese Beef Burger was something unique and memorable — cumin-sautéed beef, onions, garlic, and peppers stuffed into a crispy, flatbread-like bun. Bold, flavorful, and satisfying.

Lastly, the Fish Fillet was fresh and delicious. Definitely for fish lovers.

Most dishes were a solid 8/10. With reasonable prices and generous portions, it’s easy to see myself coming back for more — especially for those standout noodles and soup.

The ambiance is minimal and no-frills, more of a casual takeout or quick dine-in vibe, but the food more than makes up for it.
