What can I say -The Tasty has out done themselves with a brand new menu starting tonight! From the minute we walked through the door we were greeted by happy welcoming people who made sure every step of the way we were enjoying our drinks& meals and made sure we wanted for nothing. To start off you have to try the cornbread it’s like no other - it’s moist and flavorful and they top it with honey butter with some flaked sea salt that was perfection- I licked my fingers to get every morsel it was so good. The duck dumplings are a classic dish for them and we devoured them they were scrumptious -so tender, flavorful and in a delicious broth. The street corn salad had a light lime dressing - not over powering and served on a bed of crunchy greens/ it really paired perfectly with everything else. Now for the main entrees beef cheek which was beyond tender no knife required to cut and coated in a decadent sauce that reminds me of a Moroccan/ Mexican sauce with a complimentary green chilies dipping sauce you want to drink and pickled onions- jalapeños and radishes that brings the dish all together. My brother got the noodles which are a classic favorite at the Tasty with tamari chicken, veggi slaw and peanuts. The desserts are all homemade so even though we were stuffed we had to get carrot cake to go. The frosting is not overly sweet and the cake is so moist you can see the carrots and pineapple in each mouthful of yummy goodness. We will be back to try more of the new menu- every table around us were saying how good their food was so you can’t go wrong with whatever you pick!!! Maria’s service was outstanding and helped made it a wonderful...
Read moreWent on Noodle Night. Appetizers and drinks were good, but entrees lacked flavor. The service was disappointing. There was a clear difference in service toward our group (people of color) and it was a shame considering a pride flag hangs from outside the restaurant. You want to feel welcomed at a restaurant not like an outcast, which at times it felt like just that. Our table was off to the side and cramped. When we asked for an additional menu after the scan on the phone didn't work we were given attitude as if it was an issue. The woman next to us had her food nicely packed away in a proper plastic container (taken away and done in the kitchen), while we were just given a cardboard box to put it away ourselves as our waitress hovered over our table with her hand out which felt really awkward. When we ordered dessert, not even one minute passed by and our bill was put on the table - we didn't even get a chance to start eating the dessert when it happened, which was extremely rude. At that point we had ordered from the drink menu, so bringing the bill early left no room to order anything else, when delivered in this manner. We felt rushed and like we were not welcomed, which is unfortunate, as this was not the case on our first visit. We wanted to love this place, but this experience just left us wondering if it is as welcoming of a place...
Read moreWe went on Noodle Night and it was a disappointment.
The sticky ribs are sticky and well cooked but the flavor ends up tasting like salty soy sauce than a balanced glaze. The pickle chips are surprisingly good though.
The Thai beef and pork has great flavors but when they say egg noodles, they mean pasta-from-the-box linguine and when they say beef and pork, they mean a little bit of ground mixed meat.
The Dan Dan noodles also had a good flavor and sauce but beware that they use rice noodles instead and that the noodles may be undercooked as mine was. There's basically no Tofu (so if you don't like Tofu, don't worry, you'd never know there was supposed to be any). I also like the blend of vegetables they used. However, you'd be happier with Pad Thai from any other restaurant for half the price.
Our waitress was nice and if not for the busy other tables, we probably would have gotten better attention and been able to fix the Dan Dan Noodles before my partner had finished eating his food. I wanted to try the dessert but I couldn't make my partner wait even longer as I finally finished my meal.
If the prices were halved, this would be OK but at $18 a plate for box noodles, you'd be much happier going to any hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. I want to come again and try it on a different day but this was just...
