    Lunch Bowl $10.99 (chow mein , rice & jalapeño chicken)
    Jose T.

    The food is super good! I wanted to try everything the service here is amazingly Fast ! It's super quiet and they got that good spicy sriracha packets ! So sad they don't have jalapeño fried chicken :( but it's ok this place is super good and super spacious!

    This is a very inviting restaurant. The service bins are clean. There is no old buildup around the glass barrier like there is at the La Verne location. The food was hot and plentiful! I will skip La Verne and drive the extra distance and come back to this location.

    Tasty goody is hands down one of the best spots to get some good Chinese food for lunch, dinner, maybe even breakfast (jk not for breakfast). Especially when you are running around in your busy life and do not have time to make dinner or lunch this is the spot to check out. They are much better than panda express and they are very generous with their portions that you can feed a family with two 3 items trays. They have indoor seating which is spacious with plenty of seats for large parties and for single diners. The food variety is amazing from bbq pork to teriyaki chicken, various vegetable dishes, orange chicken, walnut shrimp minus the walnut, mushroom chicken, broccoli beef etc... to main dishes from fried rice, chow mein noodles, vegetable noodle, vegetables. The service is great with hard working aunties and uncles. Highly recommend you check them out if you are in the area and are looking for some fast chinese food to go or dine in. They speak cantonese too

    She was gripping the bag like she was a thief !

    I have been a customer here for years and, until recently, I never had issues. The last two times I visited, however, I was with my girlfriend, who is Black, and both times she was made to wait during the payment process, as if she were suspected of not paying. On both occasions, staff singled her out to verify payment, prolonging the situation. It's also important to note that this treatment only happened when I was with my Black girlfriend, and it did not happen to other customers. On one of those occasions, staff even laughed, which felt very unprofessional. I believe there are respectful and professional ways to handle verification and after being a loyal customer for years, experiencing this twice was disappointing. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and looks into how customers are being treated.

    I went there and came back feeling my stomach and digestive discomfort. I won't say more - the attached photos similar to what I experienced.

    Trash , they make up in quality with quantity.No flavor and everything just bland. Do yourself favor and just go to Panda Express

    Lots of MID

    One of these bogus ass "influencers" said this place had some of the best Chinese food. If best means portions size, then yes, they give you enough food for 3 meals. But the food? Its ok. The orange chicken seemed like it was all batter and no chicken. Every bite was just crunchy batter, hardly any meat inside it. The BBQ pork had a weird ass chew to it as well. It was almost crunchy on the inside. The chow mein was super greasy. The rice was cool. The flavor of everything was decent, and you're definitely going to get full, but this aint no damn best of anything....

    Tasty goody has been a West Covina special for a very long time. The portion sizes are huge and the food is also good. The service was quick and polite. Can't ask for anything more.

    3 Cream Cheese Wonton

    Tasty goody is the mom and pop Panda Express. Major difference is that Tasty Goody has HUGE portions. You leave there thinking wow that was a lot of food. Two people could easily share a 3 meat combo and still have food left over. Two LIGHT eaters could share the 2 meat combo. When you walk into the plaza restaurant, you will walk up directly to the glass window, where the food is. The staff will ask you what size. For example, 3 meat combo. First they will ask you rice or chow mein. If you want both call it "half and half." From there choose your meats! Their BBQ pork is so delicious and well marinated. The orange chicken is packed with flavor. The beef and broccoli is a go-to. And if you don't feel up to all the big flavors, try the teriyaki chicken. As you walk the food line, toward the cashier they have extras like Cream Cheese Wontons and Egg Rolls, and they are always fresh. The staff works hard here, handling every order as fast as they can. The food moves fast in this place, so they are constantly refilling popular items. If you see a line, don't worry it really moves quick! The theme is Chinese cuisine with photos of food on the walls. You can order To-Go or dine in at one of their many tables or booths. They offer amazing catering deals, with party platters of full trays of 2 meats, rice, chow mein and more! Definitely worth a try.

    Pot Sticker.  Over done/burnt and tasted like it was cooked in old oil.

    This was my first time eating from Tasty Goody and I did so based on the reviews which were generally good. I ordered through Uber eats and that process was fine. My review is for the food. I wanted wonton soup without any extra vegetables like they put in Wor Wonton soup due to some dietary restrictions this week so this seemed like it would be perfect. Although it was tasty, they packaged the wontons separately from the broth so the wontons were all clumped together and did not come apart easily once put in a bowl with the broth poured on them. It was definitely not visually appealing and as has been said, we eat with our eyes. I have had much better elsewhere. I also ordered the Pot Stickers. They were overcooked & burnt, so they get an "F." I also ordered Chicken Fried Rice. It was better, it had a lot of chicken, which was surprising but good and it was seasoned fairly well. However, I will not order from here again.

    I have never been to a place like this, what a show! You pick what you want and they cook it in…read morefront of you. You decide what meats&veggies and how spicy you want it. I love the fact that this place has so many healthy choices. You start off with paying for a bowl and drink $7 and you scoot your tray aside an assortment of thin frozen meats: beef, chicken, pork, turkey. Pick up the tongs and try to fill as much as you can then smash it down into your bowl when staff is not looking. Next, you have an array of veggies to choose from: carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, green onions, cilantro, tofu, broccoli, celery, water chestnuts. Then you give your plate to the staff and they throw their concoction together (lemon juice, garlic juice) and ask how spicy you want your meal. Lastly, they throw your meal atop a huge round stove (think benihana) and add fat yellow noodles, they turn it with gigantic chopsticks . Once it's done, they put it in a Styrofoam box for you to enjoy. Try it with sesame seeds, YUM! My only complaint is it's like Taco Bell food, you get hungry after an hr.

    Went here for a quick dinner. Veggies looked old and brown, but since I was hungry I figured the…read morestir fry would cover that up. The cook immediately filled my bowl with spices of his own choosing. I told him I didn't want what he put in and asked why he didn't wait for me to indicate which sauces I wanted. He got real mad and tossed the bowl across the grill, put his hands on his hips and asked me what I wanted then. Why offer customers choices if you disregard this and do what you want? I did not deserve to be spoken to like this. I refused to have him make my food and went back to the cashier for a refund. She claimed she made the refund, but lied. I checked my bank five days later and was told they double charged me and never refunded me at all. I ended up having to fight with them through my bank. Totally not worth the aggravation. NEVER eat at a place that charges you before you get your food.
