Found this place by absolute accident, and happily so. Its a small place 4 tables of 4 inside, but it looks like most of the business is takeout. It smelled amazing when I went inside, I placed my order for a chicken over noodles bowl and a philly cheese steak egg roll. Both came out at the same time and i enjoyed all I ate. There was enough of a serving that I had left overs. My husband rewlly enjoyed it too read more

The food is fantastic and the service is very professional. Recommend you try this place. You can't go wrong

Our egg rolls were so sautéed with oil it poured out when we bit into them. It's as if they soaked them in oil. We won't be back read more

Tasty Bowl Kitchen - Egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Ocala, Florida

When I was there, the dining room was empty except for the children of the staff who were at a large table doing homework and playing games. Not sure why it took so long for my food which was not something that they started when I ordered (house special soup, and boneless ribs) but they were worth waiting for.... tender pieces of sweet boneless pork, and a soup loaded with fresh veggies, and shrimp/chicken. Good place for takeout - just order ahead to save yourself extra time waiting. read more

Horrid. Probably the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I ordered a bowl and a sweet tea. Cost was over $15. Chicken was tough and grizzly. Teriyaki sauce was way too soupy, too much sauce. Wrong veggies, not what I ordered. And the tiny portion of fried rice looked more like Safron rice. Yellow, no egg or veggies. Nothing. No flavor at all. read more

Best Chinese take out spot for miles around. Food is perfect. So glad this place is close by!

I found their food not so good! The taste of the Lo Mei is off. It does not taste like that I have eaten else where. I think they must use substandard products. I know that their sauce packets, especially Duck sauce are substandard. The Egg Rolls are over stuff but stuffing is NOT fresh. I have eaten better in Ocala at Yummy House and China Lee. read more

I really like the food at this place . The curry shrimp is always good and their wonton soup is the best!

Love the noodle bowl with the pho noodles. I just wish they gave you more than 4 items to put in it for the price they charge..also I have to agree with the person that complained about the kids running around.. I was there about 3 times before I stopped going because the kids were very rude. They ran back and forth past my table smacking the table as they went by & screaming. I just wanted to eat in peace. read more

They had me at their big shiny ad that stated "we will change your eating experience, with our cooking experience". Healthy bowls! Nah, not so at all. This is nothing more than a Chinese take out space with a few tables for those that want to eat their take out there. My experience was horrendous. My hot bowl was given to me in a thin plastic bowl with only a small plastic coffee spoon to eat the soup with. When I ordered I asked if the pork was thick sliced as it was in the photo and was old it was. When it was given to me the pork was small chopped---the same that it is when used in their pork fried rice. There was no bok choy but there was a lot of over cooked cabbage including the hard bottom. Some of the vegetables were brown and somehow a piece of someone's broccoli fell into my bowl. None of them had been washed as there was the residue of dirt in the bottom of my bowl. An additional insult is that they compute up to a 20% gratuity to add on to their take out orders if you'd like. Those crispy fried noodles you always get in take out orders are .75 extra unless you purchase a big bowl. Prices are high but please pay attention to your receipt as some items on their online menu are priced differently than inside. If you're looking them up online or anywhere else be aware that they go by several different names: Tasty Bowl Kitchen, Create Tasty Bowl, Tasty Bowl and Big Bowl. read more

See all

I'm pretty picky about my Chinese food and I'm a big believer that it's easier to find good Chinese in NJ and NY and San Fran than anywhere in the country...so stopping for Chinese in Ocala, FL didn't leave me with high hopes, but it's what Dad wanted so it was to Tasty Bowl for an adventure. The place is fairly new and very clean, but apparently (according to my Mom) it's always hot inside. I didn't think it was too bad, and we were actually in and out in about 8 or 9 minutes (it was mid afternoon so the place was empty). The guy at the register was pleasant and recognized my Mom so that was a good start. We ordered chicken lo mein, some egg rolls, pork fried rice, and chicken with broccoli. Food was ok, not as good as the places I go to back in Jersey, but certainly acceptable. The food was flavorful and not oily or greasy at all. Unfortunately, the fried rice comes with peas (I forgot to ask about the disgusting little green balls of ick) so I had to spend a few minutes picking them out, but after that the rice was fantastic. The egg rolls were just ok, a little on the small side, but they tasted ok...I could be wrong but it didn't seem like they were made on-site. I see why my parents eat here as their go-to Chinese place. Easy to get to, friendly service, food is pretty good, and my Dad is a stickler for a CLEAN Chinese place. All in all, a pretty good lunch. read more

Absolutely the best chinese I have had since moving to Ocala. Soup Bowl and Noodle bowl are just the best! Everything is so fresh. A meal in a bowl. Dumplings are so good too! I travel 5 miles to come here its so good. read more

Don't go this restaurant, so dirty! I ordered lunch special, just as any other chinese place. What bugged me is making of wonton soup. Guy reads paper, stops, pours soup, GRABS SCALLIONS WITH SAME HANDS AND THROWS IN SOUP., and of course same hand takes my cash. No rinse i bet repeat. Yukk! read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside. But the food is amazing. Fresh. Flavorful, and plentiful. I am a combat vet , and lost friends over the years. Many of us have been asked, what to do to honor those who have gave all. The answer is exemplified in this place. Immigrants who come to the US to be Americans, to work hard, make good things, and live the American dream. I see this lady running back and forth hauling ass with a smile. I see someone in the back slinging chicken and rice like a ninja and making absolute delights. I will definitely put this on my list of regulars. read more

Is there any Chinese restaurant in Ocala that's real good. I had the Mongolian Beef and it was just ok. Meat was chewy but had a little flavor. My husband hD the Beef Lo Mein. Meat had no flavor and was super chewy. The pork egg rolls were the best part of the meal. The fried noodles were stale. The fortune cookie was pretty fresh. I don't believe we'll order from them again. read more

Very clean dining area. Friendly employees. I had the pork soup bowl with veggies and udon noodles. It was delicious and filling. The only thing lacking was fresh condiments instead of the usual packets of generic soy, duck, mustard and hot sauces. My wife had a rice bowl with chicken, veggies and Szechaun sauce. Again a large bowl and very tasty. Next time I'll order it to go or bring my own condiments and enhance it the way I like. Prices are very reasonable and service was attentive. I will be back. read more

Tasty Bowl Kitchen - the soup bowl noodle with beef/scallion/beans sprouts/mushroom/zucchinis with Mei Fun noodle is my favorite. no scallion today.. - Chinese Near Me - Ocala, Florida

New to the area and looking for a new go to place for Chinese/Thai food. This place is amazing. Portions are huge, food is delicious.

I love Tasty Bowl! My wife and I get take-out at least 3 or more times a month. We don't always have the time to dine in but when we do it is always a great experience. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. We are huge fans of the noodle bowls! read more

Ordered Mother's Day dinner from the Tasty Bowl. The noodle soup, with shrimp, bok choy, snow peas and baby corn, with Odon noodles was to die for. The ribs w/bone were meaty and delicious. The main dishes and the house fried rice were delicious. I have eaten Chinese food in New York, South Florida and Hong Kong. Let me tell you this will be my place to get Chinese food in Ocala! read more

Went there when I was in vacation! It's a nightmare! The boss was very nasty at customers!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a nasty attitude... and his food was old!!!!!! Bad experience!!!! read more

Really pleasant surprise, not like your run-of-the-mill Chinese takeout.Nice and simple menu with great specials. The food was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely be going back. This will be our go to Asian. read more

My mom and I had been wanting to try this place since they opened but just now got around to it and we are so glad we did. The food was excellent. The vegetables were fresh and the the food was very flavorful. I got the lunch combo because I wanted the sides. My mother got the lo mein and it was very "tasty". We are excited for the colder months to get here because their soup bowls looked excellent. This place would be great to eat there or take out. I really hope this place lasts because it is needed. read more

Very fast and very good food!! I was pleasantly surprised! The food was made to order and came out piping hot.

Well not off to a good start. Gen Tsao chicken was very dry, as in overdone,not much sauce, and the fried rice didn't appear to be regular fried rice. Just looked like yellow rice. To top that off the fortune cookie was stale. That's telling. Also the cook came out in very, actually filthy, jeans. read more

The boss is rude very very rude ，The food was terrible and so was the service. Messing up with the change and not knowing how to do regular math. And on top of that they went stingy with my food. food sucks and price is very high. read more

Live on this side of town. Hungry - line for a sandwich from the Publix deli was ridiculous so I walked down the plaza to see what else I could get for lunch. I am a fan of Wok-N-Roll in the Churchill Square Plaza but decided to give this place a try. Place appeared clean, friendly staff. I was bothered by the small child who clearly belonged to staff. She kept going to the condiments counter and touching things which in my opinion was not sanitary. Ordered my usual - shrimp and broccoli and asked for the garlic sauce instead of brown sauce. Meal came with plain fried rice, cheese wontons and a "salad." Good wontons, fried rice was boring - just yellow rice with no carrots, peas, etc. The shrimp and broccoli aren't as flavorful as Wok-N-Roll's dish. The salad wasn't a salad - just a pile of white iceberg lettuce leaves which was insulting. I don't like paying for stuff that isn't appetizing. I am a believer if salad is put on a menu for a dish restaurant owners should spend extra money and offer real greens to customers. If all a restaurant has to offer is white pieces of hard lettuce then take it off the menu. But glad I tried the place - I was curious and now it's out of my system and I don't feel the need to eat here again. read more

These people apparently don't realize that chow mein contains fried noodles. Ordered the chicken chow mein and all it had was chicken and cabbage. It would be nice if they at least put a description of their dishes on their website if it's not going to be consistent with what Chinese food is suppose to be. read more

They have their 3 kids running around the restaurant. They were running, screaming and even crying at the top of their lungs while I wanted to eat my dinner in peace and quiet. It was a complete zoo and the parents did absolutely nothing to stop them. Who likes kids screaming and crying on a plane? Well, this was worse as the kids were running and brushing by the paying customers and the parents or owners of the store could care less about quieting them down once the got money, it was too bad, so sad. Annoying wasn't even the word for it. It was like nails on the chalkboard. These parents need to take control, or better yet, get a babysitter, or teach these wild children some manners. I'll never go back but want to warn others that if you want peace and quiet, you will not find it here. read more
