The food is good here, especially since there aren't many options for Chinese food around Davis. The service is pretty poor, with long wait times and incorrect orders. However, the salty and spicy fish, marinated tofu, and lunch specials are stellar. I guess the tasty food makes up for the lack of quality service. There is one female waitress who was extremely nice, which kind of made up for the poor service. They should hire more talented and caring indivuals. read more

Want a staff that talks back to you in heartbeat?? Well this is the place for you!! The staff is clearly inexperienced and lacking in a manager that can coordinate. The staff has no costumer respect, they will not apologize when a mistake was made. I waited 35 MINUTES for my food to come out. I clearly lost my appetite because it took so long for my food to get to my table and what do I get as an apology??? "It's not my fault." I do not recommend this place at all. There are dozens of other places that are way better than this place. read more

This was by far one the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time. I grew up in Davis and I have never been here before. Only because other restaurants in near by towns are really good. Me and my friends decided to give this a try. First.. I e got our menus and then our waiter walked away. Our waiter never asked if we wanted any drinks like any other restaurant would. The only time he came back was when we asked us if we're ready to order. We ordered our food and once he had the opportunity he just left. I had to call him over because he didn't even give me a chance to order our drinks. We ordered some pork fried rice and let me tell you... that shhhhh** should've been called "half cook fried rice". It was oily and it was awful. We also ordered some shrimp fried rice and it was the exact same thing.. I kid you not, this was the first time I've gotten sick off of food in a long time. My friend got sick and was told by the doctor he got food poisoning. My other friend said he went to the bathroom all night. I try to support local businesses but holy crap this place sucked. As I mentioned before I grew up in Davis but I lived in Dixon. I tried to give Chinese restaurants in a Davis a chance and this was the killer for me. read more

The food is good. It seems, however, they might be running a little price scam on people. The prices online are 25% lower than what they charge when you go pick up your order. An example: The house special Chow Fun is priced on their website (on both the browser and mobile versions), at $10.95. When you go pick up your food, its price is $13.95. It's right there on the menu price they have by the register. The manager told me they just haven't updated the site. The thing is, I have ordered from this place several times and was always surprised at the final price but always assumed I was in error. Last night I decided to do the math. This has been going on for a lot longer than the last price raise, as the manager suggested last night. DO THE MATH before you pay. It seems they are counting on young people's credulity, as that seems to be most of their clientele. read more

Ordered 2 house special fried rice to go. Got it and was very disappointed. We were expecting those white take out boxes and bigger portion sizes, so we were really surprised with what we got for the amount we paid. Don't order take out, dine in. read more

A new chinese place in Davis? YES! I've missed having a pretty good place to go to so I was pretty excited when this place opened up and I've heard good things about it. So far, only been here twice for dinner. I've tried their salty spicy squid, preserved egg and salty pork porridge, seafood porridge, yangzhou fried rice and beef chow fun. Food here isn't bad, one of the better options in the area. Their yangzhou fried rice was mediocre to me, there wasn't anything special to it. Overall felt under seasoned, When I got their seafood porridge their scallop in it had a funky taste to it, like it went back or something. Porridge was fine though, just the scallop was off, but I might've just been unlucky with it. Good place for comfort food, portions aren't the largest but I'm just glad I have a place to go to for porridge when I don't feel like cooking. If you pay with cash you get 5% off your bill. read more

Alas Silver Dragon... I knew thee well! Tasty Kitchen has the bar set high and they failed miserably. I ordered To Go. They said only 10 minutes. I ordered pot stickers, chow mein, broccoli beef and orange chicken. 40 minutes later I said "give me what you got, I need to leave". I saw 2 people that ordered after me get their food and leave. They said my order was "big". While waiting, I noticed customers constantly waiving down waiters, waiting for the bill, waiting to order, waiting to be seated. My kids didn't eat the chow mein. It was pretty greasy (I know, but more than usual). The orange chicken had no spice at all and no hint of orange. It was like fried chicken covered in honey. I think I need to give this place a year to work out their links before I give them another try. I am still upset about spending 40 bucks for chow mein and orange chicken read more

IF YOU GO HERE, PAY CASH! Realistically, you shouldn't go here anyways because the food wasn't that good to begin with but that's not why. My wife read some reviews about how peoples credit card information got stolen after coming here, but I shrugged it off as coincidence. Well lo and behold, soon after coming here my bank calls me up asking me if I made purchase in a city I've never been to. My credit card information was stolen. If you're willing to risk coming here, pay cash. But based on how good the food was, I recommend not. read more

Each of the 2 stars are for the food. Actually... here you go: FOOD - 5 stars! SERVICE - zero stars ATMOSPHERE - 1 star COST - 2 stars The food was delicious! Good quality and worth the higher price. The service was beyond bad. We sat for 30 solid minutes waiting for the bill and boxes, and had to ask 3 different people. I have no idea even who our server was and the layout was completely in organized. Takeout only from us for this place. Not sure if the food is worth the frowns, huffs and bad attitude from the staff though. read more

Food was outstanding, very flavorful. Good sized portions as well. Service was ok, not very attentive. If the service improved I would increase my rating. read more

Every item we orders was tasty. By far the best broccoli beef in town. Server smiled which felt good. They boxed up our left overs almost effortlessly. Good value with portions. Will be back for sure. read more

Food: First and most important in my opinion, I thought the food was pretty good. I don't prefer meat so I had to search the menu for some veggie options and found a few that I really liked. The moo shu vegetables were pretty good with the hoisin sauce being super sweet and adding a really nice dimension to it. The "pancakes" served with them were just basic flour tortillas which was a little strange but still over all a good dish. I also had the chow mein with bean sprouts, which was my favorite of the two. I love bean sprouts, so that was the main reason I ordered this dish and it did not disappoint. The sprouts were pretty fresh tasting and crisp. The noodles were very thin, almost like vermicelli, but very golden brown in color (possibly made with egg?). Not typical for most of the chow mein dishes I've seen before but I liked it a lot. I did wish that they served a sauce with this as the noodles were a tad dry, but it wasn't too unbearable. We ordered white rice as a side dish and I found it to be quite dry and a tad undercooked. However, once I poured sauce and other things from the other dishes I got over it, it became more bearable. The people I was with ordered a bunch of dishes with meat, only one of which I tried which was the small fried squid. Like I said before, I don't like meat or seafood very much but the squid were pretty good. The breading was super well seasoned and the squid were tender and not chewy like how calamari can sometimes get. They also serve green tea when you first arrive, which I liked. Overall, I think it's one of the better tasting Chinese food places in Davis. Environment: The seating arrangements and decor were pretty standard/basic for your average restaurant. Nothing too fancy or ornate going on. Everything is clean and well-kept, and there's not really any loud music or anything playing. If you're looking for a swanky up-scale restaurant, this is definitely not the place for you. Personally, the bare walls and pain decor doesn't bother me that much. The menu is nice because it shows pictures of some of the dishes, which I always like to have. Pricing: This place isn't cheap, but it also won't break the bank. Compared to other Chinese restaurants I've been to, Tasty Kitchen seems to price their items pretty decently. I'd say this is a good casual place to go with a friend or family member for a nice lunch. Service: Our server who initially took our order seemed like it was her first day on the job. She didn't know the menu that well, and asked each person to repeat the order several times. Another server came over and began to help her take our order. He seemed like he was training her. They were both nice enough, but she seemed to be nervous/very new at the job. Throughout the course of the meal, different servers brought our dishes to our table, so we never really interacted with the initial server again. Overall, I thought the service was good. Not amazing, but our waters were always full, our food came out at the proper times, and a man even came over and ladled our soup into each of our bowls for us. All the people we interacted with were pretty quiet, but courteous. Overall, me and the people I was with liked Tasty Kitchen and will definitely be returning again. read more

This an excellent Chinese restaurant. The food is well cooked and delicious. The only problem, we go too often.

Wow!!! Simply Wow!! I've been living a couple blocks away from this place and was hesitant to try it because I'm picky about my chinese food. Got take out and ordered chicken fried rice and beef chow mein. Both were very great. Fried rice was fresh, not salty, and full of flavor. And the chow mein was also fresh and delicious Definitely will be coming back! PS. Usually do not write reviews for places unless I'm really impressed or disappointed. :p read more

This restaurant, which replaces our former favorite Chinese restaurant (which went out of business) is having its grand opening this week and we decided to try it out. Physically it is bright and airy, with fewer tables than before, so we had to wait for a table. The booth was comfortable but the seat-to-table ratio was larger than it should be. I am a large person and usually have to squeeze into booths, so I was pleased I didn't have to do that, but even as large as I am there was still a good 12" between me and the table. I don't know what a normal sized person would experience! The wait staff seemed to be diligently cleaning tables as customers finished, but my napkin was stuck to the table and after I called someone over to clean the sticky spot, I discovered another sticky spot on the other side of my plate. That was really my only complaint about the restaurant. They have an extensive menu and may be the only restaurant in town that offers "frog" in several different ways. They have a large selection of "iron plate" and "clay pot" meals including seven curry clay pot dishes. There were only two of us, so we only ordered two dishes (though after reading reviews here, I want to go back and try the corn/crab meat soup!) I ordered chow mein because that was always my favorite dish in the previous restaurant and I was pleased to note that this chow mein was likewise delicious. We ordered the BBQ pork chow mein and I would have preferred smaller slices of pork, but the meat was delicious. The beef with snow peas was likewise delicious with a very generous helping of snow peas. Both dishes were large enough portions that we have enough left over for dinner tomorrow. We will be back to this restaurant again. read more

+/- THE FOOD One of the better Chinese places in Davis! My friend and I tried their salt and pepper chicken wings, seafood tofu clay pot, and 水煮牛肉 (beef in chili oil?). The salt and pepper chicken wings were pretty decent and tasted like how they should be in a HK style cafe. The seafood clay pot was probably our favorite since it was pretty authentic and delicious. They had a lot of fried tofu and squid and had a few shrimp and scallops. The beef, however, was really disappointing. From the get go, it looked really strange since it came in a huge soup container. There was a lot of tomatoes and bell peppers in the dish, which is unusual. The beef was way too soggy and looked very unappetizing. The dish wasn't even really spicy, like it should have been. Overall, still would come back to try other dishes. - THE ENVIRONMENT Oh my goodness. It was 100 degrees outside and the restaurant did not turn on their AC!! They had ceiling fans blowing but all it was doing was circulating hot air around. My friend and I were sweating like crazy trying to eat our dinner. When we finished our food and stepped outside, it was cooler outside than inside!! read more

If Four Season is the king of Chinese food delivery at Davis, this is the queen of dine in. They have just about everything you want order, and they do a better job at making the food above average. It gets crowded at night, and the wait can be up to 30 minutes. Dinning in will come with complementary hot tea, which is very nice for this cold weather at Davis. The serving speed is very fast, but that's doubtful on whether the food is just preheated. They take very long on the appetizer, but you can call to order before sitting. The place is near parking lot. read more

Tasty Kitchen - Egg and shrimp Chow Fun with complementary tea. - Cantonese Near Me - Davis, California

This is my second time being here, first time for dinner. SO DELICIOUS!! I live in San Francisco, but grew up near Davis. My friend and I used to go to the old establishment here, Silver Dragon. Tasty Kitchen is definitely an upgrade! I just got into Davis tonight, famished from working and commuting by public transportation from San Francisco, and this place hit the sweet spot. My parents and I ordered shrimp chow mein, stir-fry mixed mushroom and kung pao prawns, with steamed rice. Very high quality ingredients, and the dishes are made fresh, so it's worth the wait. I loved that the kung pao wasn't too spicy, and it had fresh garlic, ginger, and juicy sweet peas. The mushrooms were delectable, full of flavor and in abundance. Service was a bit slow, but they were busy with all the business they're getting! I'm looking forward to my next meal here. read more

When this place first opened my finance and I would go regularly. Then the past year. The food has been terrible its soggy and no crunch like before. The waits are super long. read more

The food is ok. Some was pretty good, some was not. We tried the steam chicken, but it was served cold which is weird , so I asked them to steam it to make it warm, it turned out soooo salty. The seafood& tofu clay pot was tasty except the scallops was spoiled, they were sour. The salted fish fried rice was good. Service was just acceptable. It was Fairly good but not THAT GOOD. Second time come back for to-go Ordered 2 rice soup without meat, one with preserved duck egg, one just plain. First it's like maybe half of the duck egg, barely any. Second the rice soup is barely any rice. It was too watery that I have to cook it again with more rice I have at home. What the point that buying the food that u have to cook again. And it was $12 for the order . It's RIDICULOUS ! 1 teaspoon of rice, 1/2 duck egg and plenty of water for $12. No word ! read more

Large menu selection and free lemon tea upon checking in. Tea flavoring was good. Meal was mediocre. Some dishes better than others. The ying yang fried rice tasted like they used sweet& sour sauce on one side and Alfredo sauce on the other, would not recommend. Vegetables were okay including the mixed vegetable dish with fresh lotus root and celery. Big portions for the price. read more

This is probably one of the best spots in Davis for Chinese food based on food and environment. I'm not normally super adventurous with Chinese food but at Tasty I can try new things and know it'll be cooked well. The service is normally pretty good especially when they're not super busy. The portions are okay read more

Pretty authentic Chinese food. Most of my Taiwanese and Chinese friends in Davis will go this place for a good Chinese food. Recommended if you would like to find good Chinese restaurant in Davis. read more

I ordered via DoorDash and got the beef chow fun w/ veggies. When I was looking at the ETA I felt bad for the driver because the food took way longer than expected! I think my driver had to wait for my food for like 20 MINUTES! When I got my food from my dasher, there wasn't a fork or napkins.... literally ZERO UTENSILS! What are they thinking with this? Every other restaurant gives utensils! Also, this is a Cantonese restaurant so I thought I would get a fortune cookie too but I did not. Now onto the food review. Let me say this first. I will never order this dish again. The noodles used were flat rice noodles that were completely white and pale. Beef chow fun noodles are NOT supposed to look that, they are supposed to be a brownish color because of the sauces used and the beef being cooked into it. It looks like they dumped a bunch of noodles into a container put some beef and two pieces of bokchoy then doused it with oily sauce. I would give it a 0/5 if possible. What I received should not have taken 30 minutes to make. It looks like they made it in 2 minutes. I am never eating this dish again, and probably never ordering food from here again either. I should have looked the other away when I saw the 3.0 stars from the start. If anyone wants Chinese food go somewhere else, at least based on my experience with this one dish. It was very sloppy. If this dish is any representation of the rest of their restaurant and dishes they serve there, then stay away. You have been warned. read more

I must say I did not enjoy this restaurant. First of all DoorDash can suck a fat one because it took over an hour and forty five minutes to get my food. It tasted like my dogs breath, if you can imagine a 15 year old dog who is deaf and has farts that smell like death. I feel a lot of my rage stems from the DoorDash people, so I apologize for my rant. Heading to Burger King now to fill my unsatisfied hungry tummy. read more

Decided to come here for lunch. They serve Cantonese style Chinese food. We ordered beef chow fun, seafood porridge and my shu pork. Everything tasted pretty good considering it's in Davis. The seafood porridge just needs a little more seafood. Also the window sills needs cleaning as there were some cobwebs and dirt on there. Our tables were right up against the windows. read more

Good service, friendly staff. Food was ok, not horrible but definitely disappointing. I think there are higher quality Chinese food joints here in town that I will be visiting instead. Got caught up with the hype about this place and was let down. read more

Tasty Kitchen is no Silver Dragon, so don't come here looking for a replacement. The food here is pretty boring, but my wife and I just sampled some easy (and we thought quick, I'll get to that later) entrées. House fried rice, pretty plain. It had lettuce in it, which in my experience tones salt way down and is usually found in a dish like the salted fish fried rice. The chow mein (Hong Kong style) was okay as well. No big flavors, no taste at all really. The chow fun with egg gravy was also pretty plain. Although nothing was really noteworthy, it wasn't really bad either. Nothing was inedible for sure, nothing was really delicious either though. The service from the waitstaff I think was decent. The kitchen on the other hand is terrible. Dishes did not come out together and people received dishes out of order. So if you order your food first, don't be surprised if your food comes out after somebody who came in after you. Some people might try and play the race card here, but I just think they don't know what they are doing honestly. It took about 30 minutes for our fried rice and chow mein to show up, then another 20 minutes for the chow fun to make an appearance. Nothing came out cold, so to me this sounds like poor kitchen performance. I also witnessed a couple tables have missing entrées and just ask to not even bother with them. If you want to give this place a try I might consider waiting for a couple months so hopefully the kitchen can hammer some things out. It shouldn't take 30 minutes for fried rice, and a tables dishes shouldn't be separated by more than a couple minutes. I think that this place tends to be crowded because of the extremely slow turnover of tables, not because the food is out of this world delicious. read more

If you're looking for a place to eat with your Asian parents, I recommend it as the most authentic you can get. Some dishes are better tasting than others compared to flavor. The honey walnut shrimp I love honey walnut shrimp, but this was okay. Not bad or good. It's not as flavorful and for the price - ouch $14 no thank you. Snow peas with shrimp The snow peas are hard, not soft so don't be fooled and don't get it if you're with older family members who have dentures or a weak jaw and cant chew that well. The shrimp is decent and overall the flavoring is overall authentic tasting but not as strong as what most Chinese people are used to from our typical Chinese restaurant at home. BEST: clay pot eggplant and cod Actually a really good dish and highly recommend! The cod is really good and overall one of the most flavorful dishes we had tonight. WORST: Fillet Don't be fooled by the picture, it looks steam but really completely fried until it curls up from head to toe! The inside flesh of the fish was so mushy and soft - a sign it was undercooked or a bad fish. Which I'm hoping I deter you all from getting. Apparently they don't offer any steam fish dishes and if they do, think about how far Davis is from a fish market....far. Meaning the fish they're getting isn't the freshest you'll get. If you like fried fish I still think it's the worst dish. The batter is too much and has no flavor. There is an oily fatty residue from the skin of the fish which typically isn't there if you've had good authentic....or whatever just good fried fish in general. This is pretty bad and we'll never get this again. The sauce that usually come drench around the whole plate from typical restaurants is mediocre here. It's like a tiny puddle...WHAT. Overall pretty pricey place and I rather eat somewhere else like burger and brew, Thai canteen, etc. read more

HK/Chinese style food Ordered Honey Walnut Shrimp, Steak tips with mushroom, ice lemon tea Pro: -fast service -decent tasting food, decent portion -decent amount of seating Con: -slightly pricey for what they serve -the beef and mushroom dish, like holy crud that was a lot of mushrooms, and it wasn't even the actual mushroom, they gave me a ton of stems... also the beef was not very good quality/cut, lots of fat. -Not the best ice lemon tea I've had to be honest OK if I ever have craving for HK/Chinese style food read more

PROS: -Best Cantonese food in Davis, and I'm saying this someone from the Bay Area who's relatively spoiled with good Cantonese food. -Big portions (although they may have gotten a bit smaller since I first came) -Complimentary tea CONS: -Long waits during peak hours, worse if you come in a large group -Can be pricy (especially with larger items) - offset this by dining family style -Service quality can vary according to how crowded it is/time of day read more

This is like a more authentic chinese place compared to Hometown Chinese restaurant. The price is pretty decent considering the portion for each dish. Most dishes are from 10 to 15 dollars. They have some exotic ingredients like frog legs and sea cucumber for some who like those :) the customer service is decent. If you're asian they might talk to you in chinese at the beginning :P overall this place is nice and I would come here again for chinese food! read more

This place is the pits! Another horrible eating establishment I unfortunately had to experience in Davis. Dinner for me and a friend here was just under $40... Way to expensive. Also, the food was nasty! I wouldn't have eaten this if they paid me. The meat was soggy and rubbery and low quality and the rice was crunchy and had a poor aftertaste. The place was not clean also as the plates and utensils still had food remains on them after I ate. Bathrooms were disgusting as well. Do not eat here if you have the chance. read more

Mu Shu was good. My husband really liked the hot and sour soup which was spicy and very good. However, a bit pricey for everything (although large portions). But the Kung Pao was bland. Further the duck was salty and that was the predominant notable flavor with a very unsavory rubbery texture. read more

Bad service. Services not equally to every costumer. Better dress well if u want to be paid attention to. read more

It seemed like years waiting for this place to open. I was a big fan of their predecessor Silver Dragon. I finally had a chance today. The remodel looks awesome with a more updated decor. New paint and furniture add to the character of the new space. Now to the menu...totally revamped! I salivated while reading each category of food. I wanted to eat everything but settled for Singapore noodles, fried spicy Tofu, bok choy and mushrooms, ribeye steak with pepper and taro, and of course RICE!!! Come give this place a try and put Tasty Kitchen on the map. read more

I have never ran into a waiter as rude as the gentleman who served me here! He really went out of his way to make me feel like a burden and an idiot. I ordered chow fun with no vegetables and the waiter told me there was no veggies, only bean sprouts. I responded by clarifying that I only wanted chicken and noodles (picky I know, but hey I'm the customer!) My food took a while and arrived with onions all up in it. After debating weather or not to send it back, I decided that I was clear and they goofed up, so it should be an easy fix. I let the closest waiter know that I ordered no veggies and clarified I only wanted meat and noodles. After a few minutes, my original waiter returned to bluntly let me know that the confusion was my totally fault. He said that I only said no vegetables (although I specifically clarified by also saying just chicken and noodles) and that I was causing him and the kitchen quite a lot of strife. I politely tried to tell him that I told him only meat and noodles, he quickly denied this insisting I only said no vegetables. Fine. I then asked why there were onions if he heard me say no veggies. He then informed me that onions were not vegetables...huh. I blankly looked at him and my friend I was eating with, only to say that onions, indeed, are vegetables. My friend chimed in to agree with me that onions are vegetables. To which he responded "not here they aren't". I had no idea what to say! I didn't want to push the issue Incase there was a language barrier I didn't expect, until he then re iterated his point that they do not consider onions as a vegetable in this restaurant. There was no language barrier. I didn't know about their very unique classification and he wanted to make sure that I felt bad for not being in on the secret. He offered no reconciliation or apology after I apologized many times just to ease the tension. He just stared for a bit then took the plate away. He never returned and we dealt with a mother waiter the rest of the meal. The replacement dish took about 15 minutes to arrive and was bland at best with almost no chicken. My friends generals chicken was a sugary goop that again, was nothing special. I'm giving two stars because the restaurant was clean. Will not be returning. Look out for the sourpuss. read more

Food is pretty good, not too salty. However the wait is pretty long, I waited 30 minutes for the 2 dishes to come out. The next dish took another 30 minutes to come and we had to ask the waiter what happen to our noodles. They probably forgot about it since other customer's dishes came out earlier than ours and we order before them. read more
