Tangerine Asian Cuisine sits quietly on Taunton Road East in Whitby, serving up a varied menu that sits comfortably between Chinese and broader Asian flavors. It’s the kind of spot locals turn to when craving hearty, familiar dishes with a homestyle feel—think spicy Chilli Chicken, Bombay House Fried Rice, and Manchurian Chicken paired with noodles. The food here leans toward bold, satisfying flavors without overwhelming anyone new to this style of cuisine.

The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, making it an easy choice for family dinners or laid-back meals with friends. Diners appreciate the efficient and attentive service that keeps things moving smoothly without feeling rushed. Many customers mention returning often, whether for dine-in or take-out, which speaks to the consistency of the kitchen. Crowds tend to gather during typical meal hours, but the flow remains steady rather than frenzied, lending itself well to relaxed conversations around the table.

While the interior isn’t flashy, there’s a welcoming vibe that suits those looking for comfort food with straightforward flavors rather than trend-focused dining. The menu covers a good range—from seafood options like steamed fish fillets and Szechuan Fish to vegetarian choices such as Vegetable Manchurian and Tangerine Special Veg Balls—making it a practical stop for mixed groups with varied tastes.

If you’re exploring Whitby and looking for a spot where the food is seasoned with care and the staff are quick to check in without hovering, Tangerine Asian Cuisine fits the bill. It works well as a casual dinner destination, especially for those who enjoy Asian dishes with a touch of Indo-Chinese flair, and for anyone appreciating familiarity without fuss.

Great service. Food full of flavor. First time having this type of cuisine and really enjoyed it. Quick and friendly staff. Will for sure go back again! The dry chilli chicken was spot on mouth watering party ! Mostly the company that shared the booth was what makes it best ! Thank you Joel !

Had a lovely dine-in experience with my family tonight. We’ve been ordering take-out from this restaurant for a while, but decided to visit in person to see what it was like. Our server was quick, attentive, and efficient, making the whole experience even better. The food was just as delicious as it always is when we order at home — true comfort Asian food at its best.

Food was great! I would say it is the best Chinese restaurant in Durham area. Though I am not a fan of Indian food but it was not too much oriental to eat. I took out cilantro and maybe I could ask to the kitchen for excluding cilantro. I visited a few times before COVID but it was pretty hard to call servers, seemed they didn’t care once they got the orders and served the food. Recommend to ask everything in one time when you place the order. Once they leave then it is more harder to call them. But still I will visit again for sure because they make delicious food.
