    Sesame chicken
    Dawn C.

    Came in for dinner with friends who are local and love this place. The menu was extensive and I was scared a bit that it offered too much and therefore would be mediocre. Wrong!!! We had a huge feast: egg rolls, crab rangoons, 3 sushi rolls and each ordered an entree. Everything was fantastic and we shared it family style. Our food started arriving less than 10 minutes after we ordered. The service was attentive and pleasant. I only had two sad thoughts... 1) no soup is included when you buy an entree, 2) egg rolls are purchased individually. Both made it feel like I had to pay an upcharge for what is standard pretty much everywhere.

    Vegetable chow mein
    Alexis H.

    Highly disappointed. I've been wanting to try this Chinese restaurant for years and finally decided to do so tonight. I ordered the chow mein, not very familiar with Chinese food besides Panda Express (not "real" Chinese food, I know). Imagine my surprise when I sit down to eat my vegetable chow mein and realize there are in fact no noodles in the dish, just a set of bagged crispy noodles. I was disappointed so much so that I was going to call and complain but decided otherwise as the description on the website (in small letters) reads crispy noodles. I've never known a Chinese restaurant to not include soft noodles in there dishes but what do I know I've only ever been to two authentic Chinese restaurants. My boyfriend even tried it and thought it was so gross, he wanted to throw it away.

    Some of the dumplings.

    Meh. I came to visit my sister and she wanted to try this place out. The general Taos chicken was a lot of breading and no chicken, rice was very bland, egg roll... was an egg roll. Everything tasted like it was frozen or pre made a while ago. The dumplings were probably my favorite. My sister ordered the Buddha roll and said it was 8/10. I guess if you live here it might be the only option but I'd make a drive to the cities.

    The food is consistently good . We have ordered the hot and spicy chicken and the fried rice. Of…read morethe ones I. The area, it is by far the best of the Asian Restaurants.

    I would like to have more positive remarks about Tasty Asia since the food (when all the…read moreingredients are added) is typically fresh and good. However when you continually have missing ingredients in the dish you order and items not available after you already paid for your order and have to fill out an online form for reimbursement it is frustrating. Some examples include: my last order where there was NO Thai Basil in the Thai Basil with chicken, it has little flavor without the main ingredient - we called and were told there was no manager there to help us and they would call us back the next day. No calls back ever. When we finally got in touch with the manager three calls and two weeks later she rather rudely said the missing Thai Basil is just a garnish and told us to take our business elsewhere. We were only reimbursed half the cost after filling out another online refund form. Another couple times with missing mint in the spring rolls and it's the mint that makes it good so you have to remind them every time and they missed adding peppers to a dish. A few weeks ago I waited 55 minutes past the time given for my order to be done and one of the items wasn't available so I had to file a form online to get reimbursed. I suggested to them I would accept a lesser cost substitute dish identical to another one in our order, but none was given. It's embarrassing when you have company waiting and this happens. So I would not recommend ordering online with their Zing app and if you call in prepare to be on hold for a while. And half the time we have waited well l beyond the time we were told it would be ready. Seating is very limited there as well so almost all the orders are to go. These are just a few of the many examples of the issues we have had in trying to support this local business. Based on the lack of consistency and poor customer service we are done ordering from Tasty Asia.
