人生有太多的猝不及防，所以別再讓一些無關緊要的事讓自己悲傷，過日子，歲月靜好是片刻，一地雞毛才是家常，我們要落落大方，好好生活，只願餘生，歲月無恙，只言溫暖，不語悲傷～ 今天要 po 的是在 diamond bar 開了多年的原味盒，這不是我的主餐， 是要前往吃午餐的路上， 突然超級超級想念他家的鴨頭， 強迫朋友一定要下來買個滷味， 解解饞後， 再去吃飯， Covid 前我常來這買滷味回去啃，以前也是拿到後香味撲鼻，沒法等到上車， 在前面的桌椅前先吃一些，再回家，味道還是記憶裡的味道， 但 盒子小了很多，原味盒的東西價格一直是合理，東西也道地，到 diamond bar 的hmart 買菜時，可以順便帶些回家歐！
This location (Tasty Box) has a limited menu and there is no indoor seating. You can eat your food at the tables outside, which are shared with neighboring restaurants. If you're looking for a more extensive menu and a sit down experience, go to their other location, Tasty Box HK Bistro, which is on the opposite side of the parking lot by Starbucks. At this location we ordered one pound of crispy pork belly, roasted duck over rice, and char siu with soy sauce chicken over rice. The char siu was okay but the soy sauce chicken was dry. The pork belly skin wasn't as crunchy as I like, but I appreciated that the meat was lean and not too fatty. The roasted duck was good and the best dish we ordered - just be careful because there can be a lot of little bones due to how it was chopped up. Overall, I thought the food was decent. If you're craving for roasted duck and looking for a quick meal, check this place out. Note: There is no restroom available here - the closest restroom is in H Mart.
If you're in the area and crave some Asian bbq, this place was great. I ordered a whole duck and one pound of roast pork. Parking lot is public and there is a ton. It's like an upscale Asian BBQ to-go front. Their duck wasn't oily and it had flavor to it. It was good, but not great in my honest opinion. I love a little oily duck lo at least when it comes to the skin. The roast pork though, that was my favorite and one of the better tasting ones I've had. Yes, better than sam woo from the sgv lol. The only thing was I wished their skin was a little more crispy. I was in the area and had a 45 min drive home, so timing could be the reason why it kind of went soft? Unsure, but that is factored into my decision. Service was good. Fast, to the point, and out with your bbq order in less than 10 minutes.
Pay cash 5% off Closed Wednesday Togo orders only , can sit to eat outside table. Glad there is a bbq offerings inbthe area . The soy sauce chicken was delicious
Mediocre experience. Food was very average, service was nice and fast. Came here for lunch and ordered a few different items to share. The chow mein was super dry and very greasy, lots of noodles but not enough of meat or any vegetables. The pickled vegetables stir fry was also not good, super salty and very greasy. It was super sweet and sour and hard to eat. The siu mai had good flavor but it also very greasy. Service was nice. Parking was easy. Interior was new and clean.
The ladies are always so nice here. Even during busy times, lines are nothing compared to your typical Chinese restaurant. Setting is a sit down location but more of a cozy fast food shop. Food has always been good.
This is my go to place for Hong Kong style BBQ. I always get the char siu and roast duck. The char siu is very tasty with a good mix of lean and fatty meat and it comes with plenty of sauce. I normally like the roast duck as well but it was disappointing today. The skin was perfect, the leg and neck pieces tasted fine but the breast pieces all tasted super mushy or over tenderized like you're eating liver. The typical meaty texture was missing. The restaurant is located in a strip mall near a super Hmart and parking is plentiful. Service was quick and you get 5% off if you use cash. Typically, lines are out the door but there were no lines today. I highly recommend the roast pork (char siu) but I don't think I'll get the duck again.
I neeeever leave bad reviews. Let alone reviews in general. But my experience here was horrendous. I walked up on my Lunch break... drawn in by the pictures on the outside window. Im accustomed to eating asian foods of all variety and consider myself an adventurous eater. I ordered something pretty tame this time tho... or so i thought. Duck over rice. It came with boiled cabbage and a tangy sauce. The lady at the counter addressed me in a foreign language when i walked up. Im pretty obviously hispanic so I thought that was funny. Then she addressed me in english. I ordered my food. She was brief and curt. But i came for food not for conversation so whatever i guess. I waited roughly 5-6 mins for my food. Then a younger woman from the back came to the counter while i sat in the lobby and yelled my number and slapped my bag on the counter and walked away. I grabbed my food and went outside to join my coworkers... Upon opening my box i discovered i had cold grey meat over rice. The rice itself was hot and pretty tasty. But the duck was grey... greasy... and COLD. And not to mention i searched through all of it maybe assuming it was touching something cold and the rest of the pieces were hot... I was wrong. The duck was all COLD. Not room temp.. cold. It had many tiny bones in it and it was grey and greasy. Ive had food with bones in it before but places usually disclose to you that it will have bones bc its a choking hazard. This place said nothing at all. Man was i disappointed. Very impersonal service at the counter coupled with terrible 1/10 food... Im never coming here again. That was really unfortunate. That was a waste of 17$
Dang, this place is good for some quick cantonese food. I got the soy chicken with rice and steam cabbage. There must have been nine slices of chicken. They were mostly white meat, but it didn't matter. It was moist and delicious. It included a green onion sauce to enhance the flavor if needed. It was just right, imo. Clean atmosphere. The service was on point. The price was reasonable. It's a hole in the wall, so there are no tables inside but tables outside. The best time to go if you can is when they open. I know this place is popular on the weekends. Bottom line. I'm will be back.
Great service, straight forward menu items and in good ol' HK fashion, they package up your order in lighting speed! First time trying out this BBQ place, husband didn't want to make the drive to Arcadia. This to go place is legit! The layers of meat and marble (fat) from the pork belly is seriously an art form. Just the right amount of crunch with the skin. I don't know of another place that does it so well. We also got half of a steamed chicken and a pound of char siu, both were good, but rather average or on par with other typical offerings nearby. Char siu was on the dryer side, meat was too lean. The ginger and green onion condiment that supposed to be the crack on the steamed chicken was a bit too oily, lacks the intense ginger flavor. They offer mango pudding and taro tapioca desserts, both are delightful to round out the meal. For the fast service, price point, and quality of food, overall I say Tasty Box is clearly above many Chinese restaurants in the area.
This was some of the best Char Siu (BBQ Pork) that I've had in a while. Every piece was packed with flavor and pretty juicy considering it was a good balance of lean and savory pieces. The sauce from the meat even soaked into the rice so I started eating the rice even without the pork because the flavoring was that good. The Roast Duck over Noodle was also delicious. I loved how springy the noodles were since they separated it in the packaging from the broth. I heated up the soup again and had a beautiful piping hot bowl of noodles with pretty tender duck on top. They also sell pre-made items so I tried out the jellyfish salad and again it was a hit! Sadly, we were fooled because only the top half was jellyfish and the bottom half was cabbage. That said, the cabbage was pickled so nicely and so I ended up loving every bite of this side dish. I also got zongzi, filled with pork belly and egg yolk I think, and steamed it at home. It wasn't bad but considering the price, I don't think I would get it again. I'm also not a huge sweet drink person but I found the Hong Kong Milk Tea to be quite good. Note that this restaurant is only to-go but there is outdoor dining at some nearby tables if you want to eat it immediately.
Great quick service, clean area to wait inside, and affordable set meals. Plenty of outdoor seating available to enjoy your meal! Tried their $10.99 Roast Duck over Rice and it had a good amount of flavorful roast duck with slightly crispy skin. It came with white rice and a side of simple steamed veggies. You can add $2 during lunch for a drink of your choice but I opted not to since they didn't have boba, only milk tea. A pretty solid bowl that I would get again. Perfect for a takeout lunch : 3 read more

The duck was not overly fatty or salty, and was very tasty. The crispy pork was especially tasty, not greasy at all but had a nice crunch of the skin, while the meat remained moist and tender. Will be sure to revisit again. read more
Tasty Box (different from Tasty Box Dim Sum) are both located at opposite ends of the same plaza. Weird. Tasty Box in Diamond Bar is a solid choice for anyone craving roast duck box lunch. The shop is set up to order, pick up and go. Service is succinct and to the point. :) There's no seating inside but one small table outside for those who cannot wait to dig in. The duck is decent, but don't expect a crispy skin. The ducks are tender, juicy meat that's packed with rich, savory flavor. I think paired with steamed rice and a some cabbage makes the dish full of tastes. The portion size is generous, making it a filling and worthwhile option for lunch. It's $11. I will certainly return. :) read more

Love stopping at this place when I'm in the area. The fried pork belly is delicious, fresh and crispy. They do run out at a given day so best to grab earlier in the day. The BBQ pork in the picture was delicious. I ordered recently (2/2023) and it now comes on a bone. Still very good. Highly recommend stopping by. No indoor seating, only outdoor seating. Other food options in the area. Located in the H Mart lot. Keep in mind there are two Tasty Box locations. This one is the BBQ one on the same side a HMart, halfway down the strip. read more

Great place for Char Sui (Chinese BBQ Pork) and Soy Sauce Chicken. I enjoy the good portion of meat, and like how it's well balanced with veggies (cabbage with shredded carrots) and rice. The meat is very flavorful (not salty) and moist. I do wish they could pick out all the chipped bones in the soy sauce chicken so I'm not scavenging in the rice pile to remove it. Aside from that, everything is perfect and will be coming back to this spot! read more
Ahhh finally, the familiar taste of Hong Kong rice box! Tasty Box brings back those delicious childhood memories of the rice boxes I had in Hong Kong. Tasty Box also serves dim sum and other foods, but I find the value comes from the rice boxes. At $10.25 a box, you get a decent amount of protein, rice, and cabbage. One box is enough to split between two people. While their physical location is in Diamond Bar, they have a Facebook Group "Tasty Box BBQ" that will do an Irvine pickup once a week. Definitely worth checking them out if you're looking for that authentic Hong Kong BBQ taste! read more

Purchased 1.5lb bbq pork today and found out it's only weight 1.139lb when I got home. Such a scam... feels the quality is getting worse. read more
In a plaza with huge parking lot, plenty outdoor seating but I didn't see any indoor seating. The lady who rung us up was so nice she even walked outside to look for us to give us our food. Their duck is one of the best with the perfect crunchy skin. I received all white meat for the soy sauce chicken, forgot to ask if I can have all dark meat but overall everything was absolutely delicious. read more
Tasty Box for Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner! While other Chinese BBQ places sold out, Tasty Box came through for us! They clearly planned well and had more than enough food...and all the popular options too, like roast duck, soy sauce chicken, bbq pork. Service is always great and small but clean location that is organized! They are fast, convenient and most of all the food is delicious! Thanks Tasty Box! Gung Hay Fat Choy to you and your staff! read more

In the Diamond Bar Area, finding quality Cantonese food has proven to be very difficult in my time living in the area. And if that wasn't hard enough, finding Cantonese barbecue in particular seemed to be almost impossible. So when I took to Yelp to search for Cantonese places to eat, I was pleasantly surprised to find Tasty Box in the same plaza as many other great restaurants. I stopped by with a +1 on a Sunday afternoon around 1:45PM and immediately came upon a small crowd waiting outside the restaurant. Filled with Asian families waiting for takeout, I optimistically got in line to secure my box. Though Tasty Box serves a variety of items from barbecued meats to dim sum, I decided to order an order of Crispy Pork Belly Over Rice with added Roast Duck on the side ($13.25 + $3.75 respectively). The cashier then let me know it would be a 10 minute wait and that I should return a bit later to pick up our food. Before jumping in, I will note I had a a few mishaps occur as I was leaving. For one, the crispy pork belly rice plate was charged at the price of $13.25 on my receipt. This was quite strange as the menus on display both in the restaurant and on the website list the rest of the barbecue rice plates as $10.99. Furthermore, there isn't any pricing for rice plates with pork belly anywhere on the menu. Secondly, a staff member working behind the desk mixed up the order of my +1. When paying for the meal, we noticed the chashao (charsiu) was listed instead of soy sauce chicken. And upon letting the staff know, they swapped it out for Crispy Pork Belly....at least that's what we thought. Receiving the incorrect order upon pickup, my +1 attempted to let them know. But instead of acknowledging the mistake, the staff member openly argued that we were the ones that told them wrong order. Even after acknowledging the fact Cantonese places often don't have the best service, this caught me by surprise because the staff decided that aggressively questioning the customer was the best course of action at the time instead of simply correcting the order. In all, just know: 1) Choosing Crispy Pork Belly as a rice plate item will cost an additional $2.25 on top of the base price. 2) Be concise and double check your order once you get your receipt and once you pick up your order. Be prepared for potential pushback from the staff. After picking up my food, I took a seat at one of the many tables just outside the restaurant and proceeded to open my bag of food. And from first glance, the portion size looked somewhat questionable. Though the 16 pieces of crispy pork belly were given in good size, there were only 4 pieces of duck in the rice bowl. Compared to the many photos of the dish in the restaurant, this was definitely on the lacking side and made me feel the $17 price tag was a tad too much when looking from a quantity standpoint. But after considering this restaurant is in the Diamond Bar area, the fact the dish was a Cantonese barbecue item, and the fact the barbecue combo lasted two meals, the price seemed more justifiable. But out of anything said so far, the food was definitely where Tasty Box hit home. First, the rice and cabbage given on the bottom of the bowl were warm and tasted lightly salted, perhaps lightly stir-fried or boiled. The duck that was present inside was large and quite juicy! With a thin layer of skin and fat on the surface, the meat attained a greased savory-sweet flavor which created balance between the lean texture of the meat. But of the two meats, the crispy pork belly was definitely the one to write home about. Starting with the skin, the top was both light and crisp. This made the skin taste lighter than your typical pork rinds and easier on the mouth, so much so that it could be eaten comfortably without rice. The fat under the surface was sliced moderately and tasted rich and marbled. And certainly not least, the meat was moist and subtly sweet which brought the different textures of the pork together. In all of my experiences trying Cantonese barbecue in the Greater LA Area, Tasty Box has by far one of the best crispy pork belly and roasted duck dishes I've ever had! Though the meal was on the more pricey side and only gave a smaller portion of duck, the quality of the meats was well worth the expenditure; definitely a place I would highly recommend. This experience would easily earn a 5 star rating in my book. But with the unknown upcharge for the crispy pork as well as the attempt by the staff to argue for a communication error on their end, I'd argue Tasty Box deserves a 4 star rating. I would come back for the food, no question. But no matter which restaurant you visit, aggressively arguing with the customer is a big red flag. Real impressive barbecue, I just didn't expect to be the item getting roasted in the restaurant. read more

Hello Michael,…
Saw this place during a random search for HKBBQ. They had some really nice pictures. Went to try it out. Did not disappoint. I'm a big fan of crispy skin pork. Have been for years. This place was perfect. The skin was crispy, the meat perfectly salty...perfect combo for the rice and the cabbage they provide. The char siu was good as well. I hope I get more fatty portions of it next time, but the fairly lean cut I got was tasty. Also got the steamed eggs. I don't go out of my way to get eggs like these but they are a perfect accessory for the meat and rice. Definitely will go back again and will recommend it to others. Too bad they don't have a dine-in. read more
Fellow Diamond Bar residents will concur- Our golden haired city with its rolling hills and enviable property values may have a lot going for it, but being a foodie destination? Puhleeze! More like a food desert on the order of Wichita or BFE!! Tasty Box, which today prompted my first foray into the Diamond Hills Plaza since "Buns & Sums" was a Burger King and President Obama was in his first term, is changing that perception...one glorious box of their Char Siu Pork and Roasted Duck at a time. When I arrived, just before 4pm on a weekday, a small trickle of teenagers had begun forming outside. By the time they handed me my takeout order, throngs of hungry DBHS Brahmas were teeming outside and had lined up 12-people deep in the order line. What to order? When trying new or unfamiliar restaurants for the first time, I always summon this culinary koan: Go with one of the house specialties! Judging from the hundreds of highly satisfied Yelpers who've reviewed Tasty Box before me, I knew I couldn't go wrong w/ their Char Siu Pork. I chose two boxes of it, served over steamed white rice generously lavished w/ warm soy sauce and cabbage/carrots. For less than a Hamilton ($10), you get two servings of their barbecued pork plus the obligatory rice & steamed cabbage along w/ a brief camel's worth of carrot. The Char Siu Pork is...outstanding! Each serving of the pork comes conveniently slivered into eight or nine bite size segments...if your mouth is Goliath sized! The pork is immensely enjoyable- PERFECT texture, sumptuous small pearls of roasted pork fat commingled with unctuous, wondrously cooked spears of flesh meat. Everything you love about pork!! The steamed rice is a welcome improvement over the lukewarm stuff that far too many restaurants take for granted. Here they serve it generously drizzled with what appears to be 70 percent soy sauce and 30 percent the sprinkled juices of the cooked meat! Bravissimo!! And the steamed vegetables won't make you regret eating them, either! Maybe it's the Irishman in me, but I've seldom found cabbage I didn't enjoy. All in all, Tasty Box's Char Siu Pork will char its way into your culinary heart. We WILL be back- Next time we'll report on the Roasted Duck. Pro tip: Come prepared to pay in cash and they'll subtract 5% from your tab. read more
Randomly wanted to try out Tasty Box and made it for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There was consistently a line to order during peak hours but it moves pretty quickly. Due to COVID, the cashier is located close to the door so only 1 party can walk in to order at a time. No dine-in seating but there are plenty of tables outside. Char Siu over Rice ($9.75): Marinated sliced roasted pork over white rice served with a side of cooked cabbage. Good amount of meat provided though I do wish there was a bit more of the char siu sauce over to meat to seep all through the rice. HK Milk Tea ($2 add on during lunch hours): I asked for light ice and this drink was perfect. Delicious and not overly sweet. Mapo Tofu ($11) + Side Rice ($2): Large chunks of tofu, ground pork, and chopped green onions which pairs perfect with white rice. This was not on the menu but I asked the cashier since I saw pictures of mapo tofu with their combo meal orders and was able to order it individually. Parking is in a large shared parking lot. It does get pretty crowded but you'll still be able to find a spot .. for now. Not sure how the parking situation will be after Planet Fitness opens! read more

I came here a little over a week ago. I ordered the same meal that I had last time, which was the duck. I think the food is good and the service isn't bad. It does not take as long as they say it would take, so that's definitely a good thing. I don't think they have a dine in option, which would definitely be nice. However, I always order to go. read more
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I've gone here multiple times and though there are indeed a vast amount of not good, but great, dim sum places all throughout the SGV area sometimes you don't want to do the haggle, the noise, the fighting, and the strained distant perusing of dim sum carts to get your next order of shumai. Sometimes you just want to have it all at once. That's what Tasty Box lets you do. When you enter you have a set menu already largely displayed in both Chinese and English with images to help you literally picture what you want. They have favorites like shumai, shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, chicken feet, spare ribs, etc. They will also have some specialty items per month depending on when you go. When I went last week it was salted egg custard buns. They were rich and delicious. Just as I enjoy an efficient and quick experience let me break down the good, the bad, and the pro-tip parts of this place for your viewing pleasure. The Good - Quick service and order directly off a menu you can visually see - Prices are competitive and same prices you would find in normal dim sum places - Food is good with a few stand outs such as the egg custard and sesame balls The Bad - Milk tea isn't great - Gets very busy in the heart of the afternoon - Seating is limited - You might mistake this for their BBQ location which is across the plaza Pro-tips - Get there before 11 AM to avoid lines or after 1 PM - If you bring cash you will avoid paying a small % fee for card - Don't get their drinks. There's a plethora of drink places in the same plaza from Starbucks to a Korean market across the way. You know the drill: bring your appetite, bring your friend to share said appetite, and bone apple tea. read more
Limited menu, but done well. We got the combo B, which is definitely enough for 5 people. I upgraded to duck for $2 more. Everything was delicious except I would pass on the soup. The soup was murky and just not that good. Duck was plump and the char sui was a nice cut of fat and lean. The sides were okay. Tofu was bland and veggies were a little over cooked. We also got a wonton noodle soup that was really good. The meat filling of the wonton was tender and had huge chunks of shrimp. The noodles were thinner then the ones we're accustomed to, but still very good. Located in the H Mart plaza and accepts card. read more
Tasty Box is a Hong Kong BBQ restaurant. They serve BBQ pork, soy sauce chicken, roast duck, braised beef, wonton noodles, fried rice, and fried wontons. You can choose to order meats by itself or combined with either rice or soup noodle. I ordered the Roast Duck over Soup Noodle. Great portion of the duck pieces. The duck pieces were chopped up nicely. Some of the duck pieces had thin crispy skin while others had soft fatty skin. The duck meat itself was very tender with great flavor. Some duck pieces had more bones than meat. The plum sauce complemented the duck pieces quite well. The soup noodle was thin, soft, chewy, and bouncy. The broth had good flavor and was not overly salty. I liked their container to-go as their bowl was separated into two compartments. The noodles were underneath the duck in the top container. The soup was underneath the top compartment. That way the noodles won't have absorbed the entirety of the broth while driving. Service was pretty good. I ordered and they handed out my order within 10 minutes. Dine-in is not available inside the restaurant at the moment. They have a giant plexi-glass barrier at the entrance of the restaurant for you to place the order. Love the Roast Duck here. I'll get it over rice next time to see how it is. Will be back for another visit. read more

This place is super Cantonese. You would order to go at the counter, and then sit outside to eat, or just simply take it home. The food is delicious and it is totally worth it for the price. Definitely a good place to consider. If you're about to go to a party or to a potluck swing by here to pick up something save you the hassle and it's guaranteed to be good. If you pay cash, they will give you a discount , I think it's about 5% so it's a great option. read more

Tasty box used to be our go to for an easy dinner but the quality has gone downhill. Chashu that we got tonight and the last few times have been so so dry. It's like eating dry chicken breast. We thought we would give it one more chance but it's quite disappointing. I would not recommend the chashu at all now. read more
