Came for dinner! Great food and service. Delicious peking pork ribs and chow mein. Been in Davis for almost 3 years and I can't believe I haven't tried this place yet.

Was in Davis for a conference and we were looking for a sit down place with lots of options for a group of 4. I'd say this delivered for sure. Quickly greeted and seated, recommendations provided, customizations allowed, and the food came out super quickly. We ordered a ton of things - creamy chicken corn soup (too goopy for me), mongolian beef, bok choy w/ garlic, green beans w/o pork, veggie fried rice (meh), and the chicken chow fun. The beef, noodles, and green beans were definitely the stars. If I'm even in the area again, I'd for sure come back.

Solid homestyle Cantonese spot. They always have seating available and orders come out fairly quickly. Braised tofu was still crunchy. Didn't come with too many mushrooms but had a lot of bok choy that, especially for davis, we're surprisingly young. The Szechuan chicken is not spicy but a little tingly, on par for what you expect. Sweet veggies and good sauce. Each dish was close to $15 excluding tax and tip and is definitely worth it.

Fire! Affordable and authentic. My parents would make the drive all the way from San Jose to eat at Tasty Kitchen. Service is always fast and the people working are sweet. The food has great flavors and is overall very yummy. Good sit down to just chit chat , catch up and eat good food. My favorites: Stonepot Tofu and Fish and the Fried Rice and Peking Duck.

Tried this place for the first time for a friend's birthday celebration. We ordered a plethora of food: jellyfish appetizer, lemon chicken, house special chicken in clay pot, honey sauce ribs, dried scallop egg white fried rice, tomato beef chow fun, Japanese style ribeye, and orange chicken. The food was great. All of the dishes we ordered were coated generously with sauce and all the meat dishes were tender. A wonderful burst of flavors in my mouth. My personal favorites were the Tomato Beef Chow Mein and Honey Sauce Ribs. Service was also great; all the food came out fairly quick and the waiter packed all the leftover food in to go boxes for us. For the amount of food we ordered and the portions we got for each dish, I'd say we definitely got our money's worth. Verdict: I would totally come back here. Tasty food, good portions, decent prices. Their menu is extensive so there's always something new to try!

I remember visiting this old location back when it was Silver Dragon (RIP) but today was surprisingly my first trip to Tasty Kitchen after all these years. I arrived around 1 PM on a Saturday and found just a few other people inside. The restaurant was much cooler than outside's 100+ degree weather. Upon entering, I noticed a few staff members near the front of the restaurant, and one immediately greeted me. I asked for a table for one and he gave me a window seat near the front. I had looked at the menu online before but was pleasantly surprised to learn they have a lunch special menu available on the weekends - something a lot of Chinese restaurants don't offer and something I didn't see online. Considering this offered diverse and affordable options, I opted to go with the General Chicken lunch special, a side of egg rolls, and a Diet Coke to drink. The server came back within a few moments, took my order, and promptly brought back a Diet Coke with a straw. They also brought a kettle of tea while I was perusing the menu. I definitely appreciated the gesture, but with the hot weather, I didn't have more than a few sips of the hot tea. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. In usual style, I ate immediately and got a few extra hot bites in before I let it cool. That's how you know it's fresh! The egg rolls came as a set of four egg rolls, which were on the smaller side, and included a side of sweet chili sauce. They were fine but nothing too exciting - just an easy appetizer. I would try another appetizer next time, but what these had going for them were that they were the cheapest appetizer on the menu. Onto the lunch special! The menu didn't note what came with the special, but it was the entree + an order of white rice. There's nothing wrong with white rice but it would be nice if it was mentioned and there were perhaps options to upgrade to fried rice or chow mein. That said, the portions were plentiful and I definitely appreciated that for the price (only $9.50 - such a deal!) The General Chicken was tasty. Like the egg rolls, piping hot, so I needed to wait a bit to eat. It was extra saucy, which is always welcome, though I found it to be a little less on the spicy side and maybe sweeter than other iterations I've had. Not bad at all, though! I think General Chicken is one of those dishes that's up to the interpretation of the chef, too, so I think it's nice to get a little variety. I ate about half of entree and all of the egg rolls, and figured I could save the other half for later. One of the best employees noticed me and brought over a bill while another stopped over with a box. He scooped my meal into the box, closed it, and bagged it for me! Not used to that, but I have to commend the service here. While that was going on, another employee took my check and rang me up. Super fast and efficient service! It was a good visit and one to definitely consider for affordability - especially on weekends when places don't often have lunch specials. If you're looking for a spot that is affordable, quick, and not very busy, I definitely recommend Tasty Kitchen!
