About This Spot

True Taste is a quietly welcoming corner of Glen Allen where the pace slows just enough to savor simple, genuine moments around the table. This unassuming spot, tucked along Virginia Center Parkway, carries the familiar warmth of a neighborhood carryout with a welcoming touch that makes each visit feel like a small, comforting ritual.

Stepping inside—or even just calling in an order—you get a sense of steadiness and care. The energy here is calm yet attentive; it’s the kind of place where a friendly voice on the phone or behind the counter feels like a steady thread connecting kitchen and community. Whether you find yourself stopping by after a busy day or ordering in to share over a quiet evening at home, True Taste invites a sense of ease and reliability.

Food at True Taste isn’t about grand gestures but about familiar flavors crafted with consistency. The menu feels like an invitation to share small discoveries — a mix of comforting vegetables, delicately balanced sauces, and thoughtfully prepared proteins that come together in dishes that arrive hot and ready to be enjoyed just as they should. The inviting aroma and the steady warmth of each order echo the care woven through every plate.

What feels most genuine here is the rhythm of returning visitors—many who found their way by chance and stayed because the experience feels comfortably familiar and reassuring. This quiet persistence of thoughtful service and honest cooking creates a space that truly earns its name: a place where the taste is real and the welcome is quietly steadfast.

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, however, I took a risk with True Taste and find myself frequenting this carry-out facility. Andrew is generally the one who assists me. He's pleasant and the service and food provided are consistently consistent. I generally get either the Mixed Vegetable Delight, or the Beef and Broccoli or just the appetizer, Teriyaki Beef. The food is always piping hot temperature-wise and very flavorful. True Taste gets 5 STARS from me in every category!!

Son and I wanted some chinese for dinner, but wanted to try a new place. We Googled chinese near me and we saw True Taste. Gave them a called asked it they delivered, which they do. I ordered, sweet n sour shrimp, appetizers for 2, egg rolls, General Taos chicken and upgraded 1 fried rice to a shrimp fried rice. Our normal place is always at least an 1hr to 1.25hrs, so I was very surprised when the doorbell rang in about 30mins. Opened everything up and was pleased with everything. 1st there sns shrimp is a little different, instead of a large shrimp, they were little individual ones, which I liked the sides. Was a little disappointed that there was no pineapple or cherry in the SNS sauce.. I thought the chicken wings were top notch in the appetizers. Nice and crispy with that little curry taste. The General Taos chicken was really tasty and had some nice broccoli on the side. Overall I was very happy with everything and my whole experience, maybe the guy answering the phone could have been a little chipper, but I might have a new Chinese place!
