Finally made a return visit since Pre-pandemic!! Sadly, things have gone down hill on service IMO. It appears that call in take out orders have priority. Customers who are dining in are 2nd priority. It took almost 50 minutes for our dishes to arrive. We ordered : Shrimp soy milk rice rolls, Diced Chicken & Cream Corn with rice & Shrimp & Egg sauce rice noodles (ho fun). My wife was almost ready to leave at the 1/2 hour point. We also noticed customers who ordered for take away in person, wait over 20 minutes to get their order. Also if you dine in with family or more than 1 person and are used to sharing dishes, that's a challenge here now, since the dishes are not intended for sharing now. Dishes now seem to be aimed at per person a-la-carte orders. There are no visible additional dishes or utensils for those dining that wish to share in a small group. If you intend to order from here, I would strongly recommend, calling in your order and picking it up instead of dining in. This resto is STILL CASH ONLY!! Which I still find to be a strong inconvenience. Wifey & I don't usually carry cash. I'm surprised this resto didn't get any warnings or fines or complaints against them during the lockdown in 2020/2021..since they did not have contact-less option for payments. They still don't have contact-less options to pay!! Which is irking. read more

3.5 Stars Tasty House should be call the "New" Tasty House. A brand new menu, A complete makeover, A new Chinese name... Tasty House is not a Hong Kong Style Cafe anymore but more of a Congee/Noodle/Rice Roll restaurant. There are quite a few new Chinese restaurants in the area specialized in this house made steamed rice roll and Tasty House is one of the better ones! I love how the texture of the rice roll has a little more chewy texture. Plain Rice Roll ($1.99) Fisherman Congee ($4.99) Spicy Ox Tail ($3.99) The food we ordered were all quite good. Come before 11 am and you can pick any congee with any rice roll for $4.99 as breakfast special! This is a good deal! Most of the other noodles dishes are around $5 or so and comes with a soy milk drink. Tasty House is a good place to come for some congee and rice roll and even some soup noodle. at a good price! Cash Only! read more

Quality gone down and price went up. They no longer provide seasme seeds with plain rice roll, which is blasphemy in my dictionary!

Cheap eats here! My parents love coming here for Hong Kong style food. We got pork rice roll, congee, and beef noodle. I love the rice rolls as they are different from the traditional rice rolls. The pork congee was okay. The noodles came with a decent amount of beef and lots of noodles. The food here is really good for the price you pay for! We paid around $20 for 3 people worth of food, and we were super full. Service is okay here. Can't really expect much from a chinese restaurant. read more

We were an accidental patron. The dim-sum place 3 doors down was renovating, and we needed some grub. So we sheepishly slid into this unassuming place. It looks clean and elementary, and a sneak peak at the somewhat messy kitchen does not pleasantly impress one, but the two noodle dishes we ordered were very decent, while the yu-choi in oyster sauce tasted fresh. Their 'cannelloni" with shrimp is different from the usual, as these are not cannelloni at all, since the shrimps sit on TOP. They have great prices, although I was momentarily embarrassed when I went to pay - this is the place where I found out they (and other businesses) no longer take pennies. The penny is an obsolete Canadian currency unit, apparently! p.s. my friend Jennifer K. wrote a great review, I only just found out (as she usually does), but just to be clear, what she said about the noodle dishes being $5 and free soy milk drink apply ONLY to the breakfast specials. Also, they have free wifi, but don't take credit cards. Pretty good trade. read more

I am a fan of their rice roll. I have been coming here for few years. This is a place for authentic Chinese rice roll. Affordable price and big portion. I used to call in advance for take out to avoid the wait time. read more

Great food! My fiancé and I definitely under estimated how cooking everything was. I order noodle ribs stone pot, plain noodle roll, fresh shrimp noodle roll, and pork blood congee. After the congee and two rolls we were stuffed! The noodles are all freshly made, very chewy and bouncy. The ribs were so tender the meat fell off the bones. The congee was so flavorful as well! The success they use for all dishes were perfect! I was thirsty after eating but I think it was on the stone pot sauce cause the congee and the noodles I was fine. Overall I enjoyed the food ND would definitely. come back cause I heard the rice stone pot is delish! read more

$5 breakfast for a large bowl of congee plus a plate of steamed rice rolls! Went here early this morning with 3 Toronto friends. Definitely a filling breakfast - ask for containers if you don't want to waste the food. Honestly could have split one breakfast special with another person since no one at my table finished their food. Place opens at 8 AM, though it still says 7 AM on the menu. The TVs here have TVB playing in the background. They have breakfast sandwiches here as well. Plenty of parking too. read more

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. The place was full but within 2 minutes we were seated. This was like a true HK style cafe. You got like half the kitchen exposed so your table could be right beside where they prepare the drinks. You also got a kid probably about 7- 10 years old serving tables. Hilarious. The food here is cheap and really good. The scrambled egg sandwich was done just the way I like. Soft white bread with no crust. Eggs buttered up and a bit runny. The rice rolls were also done really well here. Soft with a bit of chew to it. The dish that really impressed me was the satay beef with noodles and soup. The bowl is super large portion size. Choice of noodles which made me happy since I prefer the thicker noodles. The satay beef was so plentiful and it was also soft and tender. Also came with some veggies too. Meals come with soya drink. Service is fast and efficient. read more

This is my parent's new favourite breakfast joint. $4.99 gets you a bowl of congee and an order of rice rolls. For tonight's dinner, we ordered the chicken and mushroom clay pot rice (20 min wait - the scorched rice at the end was AMAZING!, rice rolls with beef brisket and bittermelon with egg. Wasn't expecting much as this is a HK style cafe, but the price point, flavours and quick service earned its 4 stars! FYI the fresh soy based rice rolls have a bit of a chew to it ~ I really like the texture. read more

My go-to place when I am craving rice roll and a bowl of hot congee on the weekend. Breakfast hour is from 7am to 11am, that means you get an order of riceroll and a congee for only 5 bucks plus tax! I live about 15 mins away, but I would trek here on weekends to grab breakfast for my family. I recommend ordering ahead and do take-out during breakfast hours because this place is always packed! Service can be slow if you are dining in. Other than breakfasts, I also like the Canton Fried Noodles and Guilin Vermincelli when i'm here for lunch/dinner, very good price and portions are huge. read more

Tasty House - Clay pot rice!! Guilin style beef and ribs with black bean sauce. So delicious - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This place is amazing. We got congee and this beef noodle thing along with rice noodles as well. This place is owned by legitimate villagers back from where my parents are from in the south part of China. They make it just like back home and it feels great to hear the accent flowing around the restaurant. This is where people from that small place come to eat, and popularity is due to it being so similar to what is back home. Come here and enjoy the local village cuisine. read more

My family loves coming here for the rice roll as it is super authentic to them. Im personally not a fan but I love their guilin minced pork noodle soup which is my go to. The portion is huge and it always fills me up (it is more than enough). I also enjoy their selections of drinks and it's just about the right balance. Service is also quick with accessible parking! read more

Yummy congee and rice rolls. Breakfast special is only 4.99 for the congee + rice rolls. After 11 am it is 3.99 for congee and 2.99 for rice rolls. Highly recommend. Wait times are long..At least 15 mins and longer if they are busy..Worth the wait read more

This is my alternative to Sam's Congee when I am not in the mood for long lineups. This place can get quite busy but since it's pretty big space the wait is usually not too lengthy. The food is okay I would say. The congee tastes a bit on the bland side but the portions are on the larger side and they don't skimp on the ingredients either. The star of their food is probably their soy based "cheun fun" - kinda like various meats and vegetables wrapped in a giant soy pasta sheet and steamed. They are okay too, it won't be keeping you up at night craving for this stuff. Perhaps, the best part about this place is their breakfast specials. For $5 you get a giant bowl of congee and a inappropriately large plate of cheun fun. I am extremely disappointed that this place does not serve "yau tiu" - fried dough or any other of it's cousin sidekicks to go with my congee. This mystery mystifies me every time I visit! read more

not bad, has a very homey feeling in a way. they have homemade ricerolls, but not the same as the ones you get at dimsum. its quite different. The only problem is that the servings are small. guilin noodles are okay, not too bad. comes out in a big bowl but i did not feel full after i ate it. still very worth it in my opinion. read more

Great value, busy restaurant! This is one of the place I visit regularly whenever I am in the area.

Don't expect great service but is consistent with this type of business, but the food and value is where this place shines. read more

I don't normally give 1 star but the service was horrible. I called in advance for takeout. It was for three of the "rice rolls". I went in to pick up 20mins after my call, and they said they don't have my order. As in, they couldn't find the slip. So my order was not there or in the process of making. They didn't apologize, the counter lady suggested that she will take the order at that moment and she said it should be about 10minutes. I was on the way going somewhere so I didn't want to wait but since it's just 10minutes, I agreed and paid. 20minutes later, still not ready but I see many rice rolls coming out from the kitchen to serve the guests eating in. I asked the counter lady if mine is ready yet because I clearly see them coming out of kitchen. She says those guests ordered before me. BUT she forgot that I called in wayyyy advance but it was their fault they lost the ordering ticket. I was upset because I have been waiting way too long. The counter lady also said it's slow because they only have one steamer and many order steamed rice rolls in the morning. Well if this is true, why did she make that promise of saying it should only take 10minutes ? She only said that so that I buy and pay right away. I was very dissatisfied with the service . Never coming back. It was my first time, their rice rolls are just like any other rice rolls I had in the area. read more

Was there this evening, looked inside, should have left. The restaurant looked dilapidated and there were only 2 tables occupied. My wife and I walked in and it was cold, should have left. We noticed the other patrons still had on their coats on, I touched the table and it was cold. We still wanted to give the restaurant a chance since it was recommended by a friend. We looked at the menu and found the prices reasonable, we ordered our food and then asked for 2 milk teas, would you believe they were out of milk teas, we should have left right there. Since we were already sitting we decided to stay and try their food. The rice noodle came first, my wife had the dry shrimp and I had the fresh shrimp. She liked hers but I found the noodles too chewy. Her noodle soup and my pan fried dumplings came shortly after the rice noodles. Her noodles in the soup were not cooked enough or they were dried out because the noodles were hard, she ate only a quarter of her noodles and gave up saying it was flavorless as well. My dumplings were pan fried well but flavorless too. We will not be going back as we should have left on my first, second and third impression. read more

It is near by my house, food is nice and cheap . Service was slow, but I still go there every week .

Great price for more than generous portion. Ordered the congee with preserved egg, stir fried beef noodles and cheung fun. Congee was bit bland but I didn't mind it. My favourite was the cheung fun which they made it really good. It would be 3/5 for food but plus 1 for the portion and price. read more

Good place to go if all you want is cheung fun and congee. Most popular special is a plate of cheung fun plus a huge bowl of congee for $4.99 before 11am. I do like the texture of this style of scrunched up cheung fun; bit chewy. There's a fair amount of filling/ingredients in both cheung fun and congee. The congee is tasty and the bowl is very big for one person. For small eaters, you may want to share a combo and add a small sandwich or something separately. Fill up quickly early weekend mornings. Decor is pretty drab though and they do not make any fried dough sticks (yau tiew) that you normally could get with congee elsewhere. Service is decent. Food is always freshly made to your order and arrive at your table piping hot within a reasonable period of time. Definitely a good go to place if you mainly want simple tasty congee and cheung fun at a good value. read more

I was on the hunt for hot & sour soup to sooth a man-cold; I saw this place from the street and decided I'd give it a try. There were only 2 tables occupied and I was greeted promptly but the server had to go back and ask somebody in the kitchen about the soup - I'm not sure if she was asking if they had any left or if they had it at all. Some guy from the back peeked out to see who was inquiring and quickly withdrew with a startled look on his face after checking me out. The server told me yes they indeed had it and that it would cost $5.60 (a little steep) and that they only took cash. I went to the Scotia Bank a few doors down (not my bank) and it wouldn't give me any money so I rustled up some change from the car (luckily I had that much, I normally don't) then I went back to place my order and proceeded to wait almost 20 minutes for 1 soup!! The place is very dated and needs repairs but there was a steady stream of people coming in, some who appeared to know the wait staff so they must be regulars.Since I don't live in the area I don't think I'll be back again with other better options around. read more
