CHINA TASTE – Chinese
A strip-mall Chinese kitchen off NW 49th Avenue in Ocala that quietly added a bubble-tea list to the usual takeout card. Chef's specialties cover general tso's chicken, crispy beef, tung ting shrimp, dragon and phoenix, hunan double, four seasons and coconut shrimp. Starters run from cold sesame noodles and shrimp toast to a po po platter built for sharing. A long diet section steams broccoli, mixed vegetables or green jade delight with chicken, prawns, scallops or beef. Then taro milk tea, matcha milk tea, mango and peach green tea. Closed on Mondays; open every other day until half past nine.
