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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good food. Go to staples are the soups (West lake beef soup and chicken corn soup), chicken salty fish fried rice, fish congee (not much fish given though), beef chow fun, walnut shrimp (very small amount of walnuts given though), beef stew and daikon clay pot, salt and pepper fish fillet. Haven't gotten a dish here that is bad yet. 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

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

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

Really delicious. Loved the sweet and sour chicken, bbq fried rice, string beans and chicken, and Szechuan eggplant. I know it's not in a super central part of town but it's definitely worth a trip here. Some of the best Chinese food and super affordable prices and generous portions! Wish more people knew about this gem read more

What a great find... having lunch with my mom and sister at a small Chinese restaurant tucked in on the northeast side of Davis. Magi was very nice and checked on us frequently. Food was delicious, served very hot and we just raved as we took out 1st bite. Definitely a place to stop for delicious Chinese food and the price is right!! Thank you!! read more

Was in woodland and looking for some good Chinese. Came across this place in yelp and, once again, yelpers didn't let me down! We ordered a smorgasbord and everything was incredible. We got the ribs, general chicken, house chow fun, honey walnut prawns, and eggplant. Seriously, everything was just perfect. It's not super close to woodland but it's definitely a place I would order from again and try more dishes! We got it delivered from DoorDash and it was all still super hot and fresh. Am I ashamed that we ordered all that food for two people? Maybe. Would I do it all over again? In a New York minute. read more

First time here. We arrived shortly after a crowd of about 30 UC Davis students arrived. The owner who used to be at Four Seasons took our order before the crowd so we could get our food without delay. This restaurant is very clean and nicely laid out.

Super cute spot and super amazing food! The ladies running this spot remind me of family, and the food they serve makes me feel so cozy and warm. Their honey walnut prawns are my favorite anywhere! I love the sauce that they put on them, sweet and sticky but not overwhelming. The egg flower soup is super delicious too! When my partner and I ordered it, a worker personally ladled it into small bowls for us--really made us feel at home, super kind. It's delicious, filling, and everything you'd want in a soup. The chicken chow mein was also great! Pretty standard tasting, and they definitely did not miss on the portion sizes. We had leftovers for days after this meal. Not pictured, but we also ordered the beef chow fun! Also tasted very standard, and also had a huge portion of it. The service was really where it was at for me though. I'd heard amazing things about this place and its food, but I'd heard even better things about their service. The owner was super sweet and took care of us the entire time. She's a one-woman show! Very funny, very kind, and very attentive. Maybe she just won me over when she called my partner and I her "beautiful babies" and wished us a nice day as we were leaving. Love her! read more

Got here just before 8, but the staff was warm and welcoming for dine in. The decor is rather utilitarian but clean. We ordered general chicken, walnut prawns, and dry sauteed green beans. The food came out in no time, hot, fresh, and tasty! In fact it was so hot that the server warned us to be careful not to eat it too quickly. The chicken was crisp and juicy with just the right amount of sweet and savory glaze. The green beans were nicely sautéed, and the shrimp were crispy and light with crunchy candied walnuts. It was all so good there was no time for pictures, LOL! Although it was close to closing time, we never felt rushed. In fact they were kind enough to treat us to fortune cookies and sesame balls for dessert. Great combo--delicious food and friendly efficient service! Thank you, we'll be back read more

We were looking for a new place to try in Davis and Tasty Gourmet came up in our search. We heard a few good things about Tasty Gourmet so we decided to give it a try. From the moment we entered to the moment we left we felt welcomed and appreciated. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Broccoli Chicken, and BBQ Pork Fried Rice. They serve family style and let us know that we ordered plenty for the two of us. Our server recommended my favorite dish and told us it was delicious and popular which was the Mongolian Beef. She was right! It was the best Mongolian Beef I have had. She was also right that there was plenty of food for the both us. Our server and another server checked on us a few times to ensure we were enjoying our visit. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful. We then ordered some Sesame Balls for desert which were amaze balls! We will definitely be visiting them again! read more

You can't go wrong with the sesame chicken! 5 stars for the chicken. But thats the only thing I've liked from this restaurant. I've had the fried rice, pork chow mien, eggplant dish, walnut pawns, bbq buns, and the yellow rice noodle chow mien. Those dishes were, edible. The foods way too over priced and the majority of the food's mediocre. Like $7-10 for boa is crazy work when it's $3-4 at the 99 ranch market. $13-$20 for one dish?! in a college town!? Purely greed. Oh and the ambience of this place, it's always empty or random employees loitering. This restaurant is waaaay out of the way. No where near UCD and is a mission and a half to get to. This place is a dinky hole in the wall. This place is far from being a mid to upscale restaurant. You definitely wouldn't want to take a date here or dine in. This is the epitome of food delivery restaurant. The customer service isn't the best. I never feel warm or welcomed in any way. The man working the register never gives me fortune cookies. He doesn't have social skills and just stared at me. I've tried to like this place. I've been coming here on occasion since 2019. Nothings improved. read more
