Strawberry and kiwi smoothie is made with fresh fruit and tastes super good. Service is very fast. More of a takeout spot it seems, but there's a decent amount of seats and tables available. read more

I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by Tasty. It lived up to its name mostly. First off, the veggie spring rolls didn't hit the mark at all. They were very bland and mushy chunk of deep fried mush. Bad start, one star. The three tofu dishes hit the mouth and the belly much more nicely. Briefly, the General Tso"s tofu had a sweet sauce that wasn't overpoweringly syrupy and it had a slight kick to it: pretty good, three and a half to four stars. I'd order it again, but I'd want to try other things first. Even better were the salt and pepper tofu and the basil tofu. Both had more spice as well as more flavor overall, made in a very hot wok, as a stir fry should be. I would give these both five stars and I'd order them again anytime. Portions were big and a good value for the price. They had a decent selection of veg dishes, all with veggies or tofu as the options. It's counter service here. The woman was nice. It's clean, small and no frills here if you decide to dine in, which was a surprisingly good choice as well: divey, as you might think, but clean and pleasant. I'd go back. It won't win any awards, but maybe it should. read more

I've lived nearby Tasty Asian for years but never actually stopped in until recently because reviews are all over the place online. I'm here to add a positive review to the mix because I had a fantastic experience with my pickup order of Tofu and Mixed Vegetables and Vegetable Spring Rolls. We ordered our dish "cooked" (rather than steamed). Mixed Vegetable Delight is my partner and my baseline dish when we try a new Asian restaurant. Over time, we've developed our preferences for how the tofu is cooked, the mix of vegetables, and the flavor of the sauce. We were happy to find out that Tasty Asian's version checks all our boxes. The veggies were plentiful and chopped well, the broccoli was divine, and this was the first version we've had with zucchini in it which was a nice addition. The tofu was also tasty, and the sauce was lighter and more orange in color than other versions we are accustomed to, but the flavor was right up there. Prices were reasonable--not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. If you're on the fence, take a chance and give Tasty Asian a try. read more

Ordering for pick-up from this location was quick and easy. I placed my order over the phone and was able to pay when I got to the restaurant. My order was General Tso's Chicken and Beef Lo Mein. Both were a solid 7/10-- not life changing but definitely satisfied my cravings. The menu is priced fairly, as you get pretty hefty portions for what you pay. My 2 entrees were shared between 2 people and we had lots of leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

Tasty Asian Restaurant - Beef Lo Mein + General Tso 's Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was so expensive and the orange chicken and Mongolian Beef was not tasty at all. The orange chicken is cooked with flakes of red peppers and it has no taste but all the pieces of flakes on your teeth. The Mongolian Beef has some weird noddles that give the whole dish a different taste and the beef is so fake and chewy to eat. The shrimp fried rice is good from everything else I got there. Plus no AC to eat inside the restaurant and I do not know if they just don't want people to eat inside or being cheap. read more

Needed a quick bite to eat, that we could walk too. Decided to try Tasty Asian. Order noodles, orange chicken, generals, rice and crab rangoons... $48 for all but good portions, def had enough for 4 people. The fried rice is to die for!!! Great food, fast service! read more

We ordered: 2 Meat fried rice-pork and chicken +really tasty +good amount of chicken, not too much pork -somewhat bland, not too bad Orange Chicken: +Spicy-If you're into that -dry -soggy breading -not a lot of sauce -tastes like they just used orange extract Pot stickers- fried +tasty filling -soggy -smaller than we expected Good food on demand but I don't think we'd order the chicken again. Good rice!! read more

A quick and yummy Chinese place. Got the General Tao's Chicken and Crab Ragoons. Good flavor and nice portion sizes. The food was clean and not greasy. I will be back for more carry out for sure. Plus; they are open late. Their online hours are wrong thought. Wednesday-Monday from 4pm to midnight. read more

I had the worst craving for Chinese food at around 10 pm on a Friday night. I knew my delivery options would be geared to the late night drunk crowd so I had no idea what to expect when I placed my order. They use GrubHub which is easy to use and the delivery driver arrived plenty of time before the 1 hour window GrubHub usually states. The beef fried rice was fine and reasonably priced for a decent sized portion. It was a little greasy (the whole order was pretty damn oily) but tasty. I also ordered the appetizer combo to get to the minimum order value and it seemed like a good way to try a few things! The good- the egg rolls (super greasy but great tasting!), the chicken sticks (basically chicken teriyaki) and the shrimp tempura (great batter). The less good- crab rangoons (I don't really like them) and the mini sausage sticks (super random inclusion and nothing special). I wish they would allow substitutions on this combo but even not liking all the components, it's a decently priced item. I was pleasantly surprised, although I think I at least partially would have eaten anything but as far as late night greasy Chinese food was concerned? This was solid. read more

Fried rice is sooo good!! Not dry at all and so flavorful. Big fan of the orange chicken too. Lots of sauce and good leftover. Don't love their crab rangoons (not enough filling, too greasy). Wish I could give 4.5 read more

Always tasty food and polite service for take-out. Never ordered anything that wasn't delicious.

Doesn't look great on the outside. Definitely a take out sort of place. Sesame chicken and Lo mein noodles very filling and cheap. Made fresh. Isn't a gourmet spot but good for a lazy weekday dinner. read more

We always order Asian food from here when we want to do a quick pick up. Never disappointed with food and service. Prices are very reasonable and food's spice level is perfect as always. I find their food is bit oily some times but just request them to cook with low oil and that is all you need to do to fix this issue. You wont be disappointed if you try their food. read more

Finally decided to give this place a try and I'm glad we did. The food was very delicious. We ordered the shrimp Lo mein and the beef and broccoli. They were both seasoned well and the portion size were generous ( enough for 2 meals). The place wasn't busy at all because most people order it for take outs. The place is BYOB which is always a plus. Will come back again. read more

Was craving Chinese takeout and stumbled upon this place. I ordered the chicken fried rice and chicken lo mein. I asked for both of the dishes to be spicy and they did a great job making it spicy. I didn't need to add anything to it. The portion sizes are huge! The food was ready in about 10 mins. This place is open late, perfect for late night cravings or a cheap Chinese food craving fix. read more

My food was prepared on time, crab Rangoon was delicious, pad Thai I would not order again.

Not bad. This great location has been umpteen things over the past few years, and this current Chinese incarnation is decent. The dinner specials are affordable for the amount of food you get, and the folks who're working here were pleasant. I had the cashew chicken (my bland standard for gauging Chinese restaurants. The chicken was fresh and spiced just right, but the rice was a tad greasy. read more

Cheap Chinese/Thai takeout should score no more than 3 stars and the Tasty Asian almost reaches this goal. The dining area is clean and that is important to me because I fear what's going on in the kitchen if they can not keep a few tables clean in the front. This is not a place you would choose to go to dine in but it's poor decor is adequate for waiting for your order. I phoned in the Orange Chicken and Shrimp fried rice ($18) and I agree with many of the other reviewers. The Orange sauce taste watered down. Not lightly spiced or lightly sweetened but watered down and that was very disappointing. Also, the shrimp fried rice was salty. I typically add soy but there was no need and I found it enjoyable. The place is a short walk from my condo and therefore very convenient when I want to be bad. I do plan to try them again but would it be crass to suggest they read their yelp reviews? read more

My friend and I tried here at 1 a.m. on a Saturday the day before Pride, (sober, having just gotten off work). We had recently tested another late- night Asian place in Lakeview) and gotten terrible food poisoning, so some of the reviews made us nervous. BUT It was surprisingly good. We ordered take-out, and the food was ready in 10 mins. We got- Beef and broccoli (I asked for it spicy), egg drop soup, and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. Beef and broccoli- They made the beef spicy as asked, and it had a respectable beef to broccoli ration. 4/5, simply because it was $12, and the portion itself wasn't overly-generous. Egg drop soup- great size for the price (about $5), and delicious. Perfect color and consistency, and it wasn't bland like soup egg drop soups are. 5/5 Sweet and sour chicken with fried rice- Holy crud it was definitely worth the price for the gigantic portion. The fried rice had egg in it, and was almost a meal in itself. My friend did comment that it was a little salty, but not enough to deter him from eating most of it. Plus, they packaged everything separate, so the chicken didn't sit in the sauce and get soggy. 4.5/5 Overall it would be a 4.5, but I'm rounding down simply because it wasn't cheap. Everything all together including tip (yes people, throw a dollar in the jar even if it's takeout. End of public announcement) was around $32 or so, and that's a little more than standard for this type of place read more

Classic takeout Chinese - solid late evening choice. Wish they were still open later hours

Stay away from this place. We heard good things about it and took a $40 Uber ride to check it out. We got there 50 minutes before they were supposed to close. Doors were locked. Employees were all in the restaurant. Just stared at us and would not open the door. We knocked asking to be let in. Apparently, our business did not matter. If you are going to close early, update your website and your store signage. I won't get my Uber fare back, nor will I ever get the time I wasted going to this place. It's a shame your customers are not important to you. read more

Ordered the sweet and sour chicken and the beef and broccoli. Highly recommend, food is made quickly and the quality and quantity is great compared to the price - you order through a window making it COVID friendly. Not sure how this place doesn't have 5 stars!! read more

I've been here twice and absolutely loved the food - I had basil chicken for $9.95. It's enough to feed two people. Portions are large. The place might need some cleaning. I would visit again next year. read more

Still after all these years, and trying practically every other Chinese restaurant in East Lakeview, Tasty still is number one!!! Despite their food consistently being Tasty, it's the family that owns it that keeps me coming back! Tonight I went in to pick up my takeout (like so many nights before), and the owner informed their cc machine was down. I didn't have any cash on me, and the owner insisted I take my order anyways and just get her back next time. MY HEART! While that is the kindest and most generous offer, I assured her I live right next door and would be right back. I ran home, got cash, and was back in under a minute. But still, that's the kind of family business that I want to support, and make sure remains in the neighborhood for decades to come. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if you're looking for fast, fresh, delicious Chinese food in Lakeview, this is THE spot! #SupportLocal #SupportOften read more

My favorite! As a vegetarian my go to order is the tofu fried rice and veggie spring rolls. Its perfection. Also their side of lo mein noodles is like $4 and is the size of a full entree. Such a steal. read more

I was pretty disappointed with the food that I received. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, crab rangoons, and egg rolls, which are my typical go to Chinese food picks. I usually have high expectations for all of these items as I know there are many places that do a good job. However I chose tasty Asian as it is the closest to my apartment and I didn't feel like moving my car and losing my parking spot. The shrimp felt a little rubbery, possibly they were over cooked, and the rice was ok but nothing special. The egg rolls had a unusual taste to them, and I couldn't really pinpoint the weird taste. The crab rangoons were pretty good, however they are mostly just the fried shell so you aren't really getting a lot of the filling, which is the main point of them. I wasn't all disappointed, you get a lot of food for your money, and they are super friendly and your order comes out pretty quick. read more

Our little gem down the street. We've never been disappointed-always pleased with the quality and taste of the food. We're picky about our Asian food and we love Tasty Asian. UPDATE: 6/16/17-EggFoo Young not on menu but tried to order it anyway. Lady on phone said, "No." Next time we ordered two other dishes they included a surprise order of EFY which was DELICIOUS, did not charge us! That's really great customer service if you ask me! Thanks, Tasty Asian! read more

This is our quick and easy go to carry out Asian food, can't beat the prices. Since we live right across the street we don't use the delivery option but we have never waited more than 10 minutes for our orders. I really enjoy the lo mein If you decide to dine in stop at the jewels across the street since it's byob. read more

I've never had a problem with them and food is already ready when I get there. Good portions too.

The worst customer service and food. You order at the counter. Our order was taken by Susie Chem. We asked for a cup of water. She declined. She said we could buy water bottles. I said, no thanks if you can please just give us tap water. She didn't give and said they didn't have cups or glasses which is unbelievable that at a restaurant they won't have glasses. My boyfriend had an empty water bottle, he said if they could just fill it so we have something to drink with food. She didn't even agree to it. Basically she really wanted us to buy water. She was so rude and disrespectful. And after all this drama when we tried the food. It was bland and lacked flavor. Never ever going back! read more

Tasty it is NOT. Order for delivery on a weeknight and received our correct order fairly promptly. The delivery guy was kind of brusk, but I'm not knocking them for that. General Tzo's Chicken was flavorless, not at all spicy and dry. Salt and pepper tofu was flavorless as well. BBQ pork was just okay. Service was adequate but food was totally worthless. I'm only giving it two stars because we got what we ordered without a long wait and didn't pay too much. If you have any other option, take it. read more

Never been so disappointed in my life. This is the second time I have given this place a try now i can feel like i can legitamently make a true comment! Lets just say I had better asian meals from Woodfield Mall. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken because I had a long day and wanted some comfort food. You know that kind of food that is both satisfying and full of flavor..... What I received was a heavily packed, over cooked, unseasoned, unflavorfull, 1 ounce portion of grizzle crusted chicken shoved into a plastic container. Since when the the Italian originated Zucchini end up in a traditional Pad Thai dish? Coming from someone who had worked for Zagat rated restaurants for the past 6 years I feel qualified enough to know who actually takes pride in a meal they cook. This place will not make it, just like every other place that was located on that corner. Not sure if I should leave this dish on their door step or just say a prayer that I see this location change yet again! People who do not take pride in the food they serve should not be able to provide to public paying customers! read more

This place is so overpriced and I order shrimp fried rice and it was really salty. I also got orange chicken and it had a weird sour taste. My friend and I ended up throwing it away and went to a different restaurant. read more

Was very surprised by this place. Everything was very tasty and I was very satisfied. I moved away from the neighborhood but definitely recommend trying it read more

Best Chinese I've ever had in Chicago. And I've had A LOT of Chinese food. I've only ever done pick up and it's always so hot that I have to wait a few min to eat it even after I get home. The portions are huge so two people can definitely share the same entree. You can also substitute fried rice for $2 instead of white rice for every entree. The food is not extra greasy (obviously anything fried is going to be a tad greasy) and the beef & broccoli is my favorite. Egg rolls are also great. A tad pricey but so worth it for the quality of the food. read more

I call at 12:30 to place an order for delivery. I place the order and they charge my card. 30 minutes later I receive a call back saying they can't deliver to me because I am out of their delivery zone. I say, why am I just finding this out now and what are you going to do about the charge on my card. They have no answer as to why they took so long to let me know, other than that he is "new". As far as the money, they say the money will be put back onto your card in 3 to 5 days. Sweet! Ok so I will never order from this place again. Highly unprofessional, terrible customer service and a huge waste of my time. And I'm still hungry so thanks for nothing. read more

Thought I would try this place out after getting a flier attached to my door. There was a coupon for Orange Chicken, only $5.99. I ordered through GrubHub (note: if you want to use a coupon, do NOT order through grubhub. They will not accept the coupon. Found that out AFTER the fact and G.H. would not honor the coupon) The orange chicken is fantastic (although I order it unbreaded and extra spicy) and their fried rice is the best I have had in the city (so far). I also ordered the szechuan chicken which was not spicy at all and very bland HOWEVER, it was cooked very well. Delivery was fast and friendly. The only reason I am not giving them 5 starts is because of the coupon problem. There should have been a warning on them about not being able to use them on grubhub. read more

PART TWO: I wrote Part One of my review (below) the same night I stopped in and bought the food. It took two days before I felt well enough to sit at the computer to come back and revise it to include Part Two. I see from other online reviewers I'm not the only one this happened to at this restaurant. I have been sickened on bad food a few times, but I rank this among the absolute worst episodes I've ever encountered. I had extreme nausea all night. I was finally able to heave everything up the next morning -- quite a relief. But I am still out of sorts more than 48 hours later. You folks had better take a serious look at your kitchen area and cooking staff. ------------------- PART ONE: This fairly new little place is clean, with a polite and friendly staff, and the service was very fast. But as for the food, about the best I can say is that it was a tad better than going hungry. My take-out consisted of two egg rolls (none included with any entree that I could find on the menu), and an order of General Tso chicken, which came to just a few pennies shy of 15 bucks. I live exactly three blocks from the place, and this happens to be a cold winter night. But even so, I can't imagine the egg rolls getting so stone-cold so fast. They had to go into the micro first thing. Unfortunately, that didn't help much. I ate about two-thirds of the first one, and tossed the rest. Sub-par egg roll. Grade "D." As for the chicken dish, I'd give it a grade of "just adequate, but no more -- C-minus." Although a few of the pieces were fatty, most of it was lean; it was reasonably hot temperature-wise; and the breading was fresh/not soggy, compared to what you usually get with a carry-out of any breaded dish. But it may as well have been made with fast-food "chicken tenders." There was nothing in the way of the usual Chinese spices to give it any zip. Boring and bland. I dished up about half of the boxed portion over rice, and "cleaned my plate" of that much, but I tossed out the remaining half. That sounds like a comment in itself, but I'm not trying to say it was terrible -- just that going back for seconds held absolutely no appeal. And warming it up as next-day left-overs? Forget it. If you can imagine McDonald's putting Chinese food on their menu, that about describes it: I basically had a General Tso Quarter Pounder. For what I paid, I'd call this pretty disappointing. "You have a keen sense of humor and you love a good time." -- My fortune cookie. The bright spot of the meal. read more

Great late night Asian! They even made me black bean chicken even though it's not on the menu and it was delicious!

Not bad for the price, and the food was warm. I would probably come back for some late night Asian takeout, though I'd be interested in trying some of their different dishes. read more
