This place is the BEST! I loveeee their food and they have such large portions. I regularly order from here and I love the BBQ Pork Fried Rice and the crispy Sesame Chicken. The food is always hot and fresh and I have never had a bad experience with the service and they have given me free drinks or things when picking up my order. I have not dined in the restaurant because they had it shut down for a long time and only did takeout but I do plan on going soon. But the restaurant is a nice space despite it being in a random location. read more

We enjoyed all the items we got! The standouts were the roasted duck fried rice (5/5) and salt pepper fish filet (5/5.) Both were flavored really well and I was impressed by the crisp of the fish filet! The shrimp dumplings were solid (4/5) but nothing too special and pricey! The beef jian bao (3/5) was just average and I wish they had more filling and were juicier. read more

So grateful to my friend for introducing me to this spot. They regularly come here for delicious, affordable, and authentic Cantonese food. Recently came to celebrate Lunar New Year and everything we got was absolutely delicious and we all had left overs to enjoy the next day. We ordered the west lake beef soup, ribs garlic sauce, duck chow mein, beef string bean, and fried sesame seed balls. The soup was light and flavorful, the ribs were juicy and had perfectly crispy skin, the string beans were fresh, the chow mein was not overly greasy, and the sesame balls we're super hot and tasty. The staff were also super nice and helpful. Will definitely come back. read more

So we decided to try Tasty Gourmet after looking it up on Yelp as highly rated. We were visiting family in Davis. We ordered things that we usually get at home although we made one mistake, meant to get Kung pao chicken and instead ordered cashew chicken. Rest of order was sesame balls, potstickers, chicken chow fun and sweet-and-sour pork. What was odd with the cashew chicken was very little chicken compared to what we get here closer to home, it was in very long thin strips, not chopped up and mixed with what seemed to be a lot of also large cuts of vegetables. The winner seemed to be sesame balls, which we'd rate between four and 4 1/2 on a 5 scale, potstickers were between a three and a four, same thing with the sweet-and-sour pork with one person commenting was too much breading on it. The chicken Chow fun the noodles were a bit gluey they stuck together, but there was a decent amount of chicken. Potstickers were OK but a little bit on the small side. Inside of the restaurant was clean, organized, and service from staff was great and very friendly, takeout order was ready very quickly. We would be willing to try it again although I think we might also try another Chinese restaurant in Davis to compare. Recommendation I would ask for more spice depending on the dish choice. Rate the overall experience a 3.5. read more

A great pit stop on our road trip to Lassen National Park (before we entered areas that would have less good food) I ordered the roast duck fried rice (bc that's an unusual menu item), while my friends ordered a combo fried rice (beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp), and a veggie chow mein. Everything was delicious but we wanted it a bit spicier so the owner provided us with a bowl of homemade chili crisp which was top notch. The portions were extremely generous and our eyes were bigger than our stomach so we took most of the serving of sesame tofu for road trip snacks later. The tofu was that perfect airy-but-chewy texture that you can only get from professionally made tofu. I didn't love the sauce (can't put my finger on it) but my friends raved about it. The owner also gave us extra fortune cookies to go after we accidentally dropped one of ours on the ground Logistics: - indoor seating only - plenty of strip mall parking outside read more

Driving back from Reno to the Bay Area on I80 and we were hungry for Dim Sum and homestyle Cantonese food. We saw Tasty Gourmet listing both options and decided to take a meal break. TG is located on the back side of a strip mall and has plenty of free parking. The restaurant is not flashy, has a number of tables for dining in, and appears to do plenty of takeout. Their Dim Sum choices are limited but cover the basics. The four of us ordered for lunch: - Shiu Mai (steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, 4 to an order) - Har Guow (steamed shrimp dumplings, 4 to an order) - Roast Duck Fried Rice (not many places have this) - Tomato Beef Gheen Mien (special order off menu as we noticed they had TB Chow Fun and Seafood Gheen Mien and figured they could produce the TB GM which they did with no problem). Most Cantonese restaurants with competent chefs can interchange with no problems. Probably could have added curry to the TB GM to make TCB GM... if you can decipher, then you're a bonafide Cantonese food eater. LOL. - Sesame Balls (6 fried sesame balls for dessert, filled with red bean paste) All the food came out hot and very tasty. We ate it all up! Service from Rebecca was very hospitable and welcoming. She's a very good host and an overall nice person. A good stop for us and we'll be back in September. read more

This location is a hidden gem in the outskirts of Davis, not your typical location in downtown or in south Davis but the food and service speaks for itself. We ordered the following: Fried Wings 6/10 - Was expecting additional seasonings but it is literally just fried wings Fried Squid (calamari) 8/10 - Seasoned well and comes with Jalepenos, nice texture and good General Chicken 9.5/10 - Sweet and Spicy, fried perfectly and very delicious, would come again just for this dish Combo Fried Pan Noodle 8/10 - Comes with seafood and noodles, I enjoyed the variety of different seafood options on this dish We ate this at the restaurant and the service was amazing, they had one person running the whole front operation from cashier to answering phone orders, and serving customers. Would totally come again, the portions are amazing for the price. read more

I been coming here for some years now and I still cant get over the fact that customer service is above already great food. If you in the area to find something to eat you need to stop here and take food home. The lady here is so incredibly nice that she will remember what you order and makes sure your food is made as requested. You can change or add something slightly and they are serious about the service. Bottle water on arrival, open seating and clean restroom. The lady is so friendly that she tells you about your food, example what type of mushroom the food is prepared with. The amazing friendliness goes a long way that I drive from Woodland just to eat here. This is by far a very good restaurant and everything I order is good. May 24,2026 : I continue to come here, and the quality of food has not changed. Im considered a regular here for the amount of times I cone in for food. I just cant find a place to compete with their quality. The family operating this establishment is extremely friendly, and even tho it changed slightly they are still great. read more

Tasty Gourmet - Quality food. No joke. - Cantonese Near Me - Davis, California

Tiny hole in a strip mall very unassuming but we went there for Cantonese Chinese food. From Hong Kong and LA, we know good Chinese food and this place ranks among the top! Delicious real Cantonese food that reminds me of my home and childhood. Service is crazy fast, and the people are so nice. The food was large in portions and very high in taste and quality. We will definitely be back when in town visiting my son in school and told him and his friends where to find great Chinese food like home! read more

We stumbled in here for dinner after being nearby in Davis to take care of some business. Looked on Yelp and this restaurant had good ratings, so we decided to give it a try. Didn't disappoint as both the food and service were great. Luckily, we went early, so there was no wait. We started off with the Wonton in Chili Oil. These were really good - similar to a dish we get in Roseville at Uncle Dumpling. For dinner, we had the Cashew Chicken, Duck Fried Rice, and Beef Chow Fun. All very good. Our two servers were very friendly and food came out quickly. Definitely would eat here again when in Davis. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. The food is always delicious and reminds me of my dad's cooking, no matter what I get. This is THE spot to go if you're broke too - I have never had less than 3 meals out of the leftovers from this place before. Service is always good. It's a family run place so the wait staff tend to recognize their regulars and go above and beyond to ensure you have a good time. It's a bit on the bare side inside but they let the food speak for itself. read more

It was my first time here and i was pleasantly surprised with the quality and freshness of the dishes. The seafood noodles were so crispy and the flavor was not too salty. The steamed bbq baos were fluffy, soft and had a delicious bbq filling. The pan fried dumplings were also pretty solid, with a nice crispy exterior and flavorful beef filling. The service was fast and friendly, and we got our food really fast. The ambiance was filled with families and a clean interior which made it comfortable to dine in. I'd come again to try more items! read more

Great place!! We come here often when we visit Dixon and we always have a great time with good food. It's a casual ambiance with very kind hospitality. They're always so welcoming with our 4 kids! Food was great as well, wonton soup is a favorite. We love loved the sesame chicken, the fried rice and noodles were also great. We got a spicy beef which I enjoyed a lot, with the veggies. I personally didn't love to dumplings but everything else was spot on! read more

The food is very tasty and nutritious, and I can highly recommend it. If the owner -- an older Chinese woman -- is present, you can also expect excellent service. But this morning, the manager didn't walk in until almost 10 minutes after the restaurant's posted opening time, forcing me to wait uncomfortably. He then charged me for two orders of rice that he did not include in my take-home bag, as I discovered at home when I opened it. He also packed one of the food orders so casually that all the juice/sauce leaked out of the food container into the take-home bag, after it tipped over slightly in my car. (This hasn't happened to me before in the past 20 years of take-out orders) read more

I did an online order for pickup. I ordered a salt and pepper fillet and got a "free" order of eggrolls(x2). Unfortunately, the fish chunks were tiny compared to what they had in the photo. Also they used a lot of lettuce to pad the bottom of the container. Probably did that to cheat me of a full container. The eggrolls even though they were free, were extremely tiny. The listed price is 7.95; not worth it and they tasted if they were refried in oil. Not worth another try. Only positive was it was quick. read more

Ordered the Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice and Dry Sautéed String Beans ($30 total) The fried rice is delicious and the perfect amount of saltiness from the fish bits, and the chicken isn't dry. The string beans are flavorful and a tasty veggie dish. These two dishes were enough for dinner for 2ppl and enough leftover for 1 more meal. 5/5! We came when the restaurant was almost empty, so the food came out in less than 5mins! I do advise calling before coming bc sometimes they're closed at unexpected hours read more

Restaurant is a little off the beaten path but the food is solid. Wonton in chili oil was a little bit on the sweet side and sauce was thick. Everything else we ordered was great: pan fried beef bao, prawns chow fun in scrambled egg, tofu chicken, bbq pork fried rice, and braised tofu with vegetables. If we're passing through Davis or nearby we'll definitely be back. read more

Helpful and nice service, food was fresh and delicious. The ambiance was perfect for family dinner. Would return. We ordered chicken, chicken fried rice and broccoli beef read more

My dad invited my boyfriend and I to eat at Tasty Gourmet and I was so satisfied with the food and service!!! We had the most amazing server. I didn't catch her name, but she was an older woman and she took such great care of us. She recommended the wor wonton soup and told us how the wontons were made in house. They were soooooooooo delicious. I would come back just for that alone. We also ordered prawns in lobster sauce, Mongolian beef, pork soup dumplings, and chicken chow-main. They were so good!! All the dishes had so much flavor and everything tasted fresh. We were so full, but she recommended some sesame balls and let me tell you... OMG they were everything!!! It was my first time trying them and I can't stop thinking about them. The red bean paste has the perfect sweetness and texture to it. I can't wait to go back and try all the recommendations she gave us!! read more

I ordered chic.chowmein, combination fried rice, beef & broccoli, pot sticker, sweet n sour pork the food was good n tasteful. Service was great .. The place was pleasant and clean. Will come back again when ever we through Davis! read more

I had a craving for Chinese food and wanted to try a new (to me) place. I saw the excellent reviews for Tasty Gourmet and decided to give them a try. Talk about a non-descript location! It's on the backside of a strip mall. I've lived in Davis for 11 years and never knew this mall was there. ?? Tiny signage, I drove right past the place. I went at dinner time to place a takeout order and there was only one table seated. I was a little nervous but they were pretty busy with pick up orders. Very basic interior but the reason I gave them 5 stars, the food (egg rolls, fried rice, veg medley and Mongolian Beef) was all very good. And the lady running the place deserves her own tv show. She was so warm, friendly and inviting. She offered me a complimentary beverage, a menu to take home, apologized for the wait (the food actually came out really fast) and gave me a complimentary order of sesame balls and told me these were because I was so nice to her. Even if the food wasn't good, I'd still go back just because of her positive energy. With all of the bad news lately, it was like taking a shot of pure happiness. read more

My 12-year-old daughters said it was the best service we have ever had! Food was amazing and fast and hot! Cute little eating environment

Great vibe, lovely little spot run by a very sweet couple. The food is excellent: great breading on the generals/sesame/sweet&sour type stuff. I also LOVED the roasted duck fried rice, their specialty. Really good fried rice and great flavored, fatty duck. Delicious! read more

Tasty Gourmet - Duck fried rice - Cantonese Near Me - Davis, California

Lovely to see Maggie's own restaurant! (She used to run Four Seasons in south Davis back in the day). We got some food to go; the portions felt pretty big, though price point is a little higher. The seafood (shrimp and scallop) used in the dishes were super large and delicious. Good quality, except for the calamari. It was so tough and overcooked. I probably wouldn't get the braised seafood with tofu clay pot next time, as the flavor was a little too squidy and watery overall. Not very pleasant. This dish was pretty pricey too. The eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious and super flavorful, tender and plentiful! I'd recommend this, and maybe next time I would try the variation with tofu. The mango spareribs were just ok. Some pieces were pretty good (tender meat), while other pieces were pretty boney and and had a funky pork smell. It was interesting, but I would not recommend it. The prawn chow fun was not too bad; I was ordering the scrambled egg version but got this instead. The chow fun was good while hot, but didn't taste too good once it really cooled down. The rice plates looked pretty good (mmm beef curry brisket), as well as their dim sum. read more

Love the food. My friends and I always go they come and visit. Everything is yummy and affordable

My family ordered takeout from tasty gourmet to celebrate lunar new year! We ordered salt & pepper fish, eggplant and garlic sauce with cod, honey walnut shrimp, and seafood tofu clay pot. Food was very fresh - I had to wait a bit for my pick up. The clay pot exceeded my expectations: the scallops were huge and the dish very flavorful. We really liked pairing the eggplant was rice - will definitely order the eggplant again as well. I will consider eating there next time instead of ordering take out! Feel like it will be even better! read more

The area seems deserted when I went for dinner. My friend and I were the only ones who dined in. They had a variety of Chinese foods on the menu and some specials posted on the wall and windows. I tried the duck fried rice. I was expecting roasted duck on the bone with fried rice. The duck wad already chopped and mixed in with the fried rice. It was a fairly big plate. I was just going to only eat half then take home the other half. But it was that good that I decided to just eat the whole plate. Yes it was oily but that's what you expect with fried rice from a Chinese restaurant. You bet that there was the wok flavor to it. The service was good and the food came out quick. read more

By far the best War Wonton soup in town! My husband and I always have to order it along with salt and pepper shrimp and fried rice with various protein combinations. read more

Tasty Gourmet is one of several restaurants in the area with the word "Tasty" in it. The Chinese food they serve are pretty good, but I've honestly had better in the area. The service is fast and ambiance comfortable, but one major issue I have is how they serve water in plastic bottles purchased from Costco. No matter how cost effective this may be, this is simply a terrible model to provide customers with water at the expense of the planet. read more

Conveniently located close to the hotel we were staying at near UC Davis. Food was ready very quickly and you get a large portion of food! Unfortunately no one told us you have to order your rice separately. We didn't realize there was no rice until we got back to the hotel. Bummer! Anyway the food was good and the restaurant was packed with people. We got the prawns and broccoli AND mixed veggies. There's plenty of parking because it's in a strip mall. Great service! If we're ever in the area again, will visit again. read more

Five star plus. The best couple running this place. Awesome food and hospitality. We keep going back because all the food is great. I mean all the food. On top of that the owners are so kind and friendly. If you have not gone here you are missing the best Chinese food around. The food, people, and care and genuine concern for each guest is their priority. You can experience this place and you will be very Happy. Thanks for your hard work owners. We love you guys. read more

Last time I ordered pan friend noodle combo, it was tasty and filling. Before I've gotten sesame chicken and chicken chow mein. All great stuff. Not too soggy or greasy and tasty, as advertised. My favorite part of the experience beside the food is the service, where the older ladies treat you like a long lost grandchild and give you more fortune cookies than you asked for when you bring a child of your own. I usually do take out, so can't really comment on the ambiance, but the place looks spacious and clean. read more

What can I say about this place. It smells canto. It tastes canto. The staff speaks canto (dad approved!!). It even reminds me of my uncle's old restaurant. BUT... they had soup dumplings... so dumb! But that isn't a knock. It's their way of trying to compete with that OTHER place. You know! Anyway, don't expect greatness from the soup dumplings. But do expect greatness when it comes to eggplant, fried fish filets, beef stew (the one that my friend ordered came with potatoes), and some version of peking spareribs that is "fish" flavored... I need to research this type of seasoning more. But it's very good alternative to peking spareribs! Go there! Ask if they have Pheonix claw... Letter of Rec: A- read more

The service here was quick but unfortunately the food was salty and didn't have much flavor. The pot stickers were overly fried as I prefer to have them pan fried on the bottom only. The price charged didn't match the amount or quality of the food served. The restaurant was clean. read more
