Love this place. The lady at the register is so nice always with a smile on her face. The buns they sell are so appetizing. Their bubble tea is great too!

food was delicious, service was fast and courteous. Fed my family for $ 50. We tried the Chinese donut while waiting, it was delicious. Also had a pork bun, very tasty.

I don’t know what it is about this place, but I walk in and feel all the workers are staring at me. I know it’s weird, but it’s just the impression I get. I ordered a turkey sandwich with fries, and unfortunately the turkey felt… old. The fries were soggy and flavorless, requiring me to add more salt than I would like. The place is close to work, so I can’t say I’ll never give them another shot, but I’ve walked in and then right back out about four times since that first sandwich, due to the staring issue I mentioned earlier. The place is just uncomfortable. I give them two stars because they seem to have a lot of options when it comes to food types. I’d prefer if they had fewer options and better food.

Their food is pretty standard(satisfies a craving, by no means amazing) and I like that they have buns you can grab and go. I normally see the older Asian lady when she takes my order and never a screw up. Today is a new, younger Asian woman. I order beef stew noodle soup and some dumplings. I was confused when she asked if chicken was ok. That’s weird cuz they’re usually pork but ok. Then she said if chicken and broccoli was ok. I was more confused cuz who makes chicken and broccoli dumplings. Maybe it’s a new menu addition? Sure why not. I’ll try it. I pay, take my food home, and big surprise, just a bowl of steamed chicken and broccoli. Ugh. No dumplings. Tasted extremely bland. Beef noodle stew was ok. I really wanted dumplings. Always check your bag before you leave and make sure the person taking your order actually understands what you want.

I got a chicken with mixed vegetable combination plate and it was gross. Total waste of money. Never again

Ordered delivery. Got here pretty quick. I got the beef stew and wonton noodle soup which was decently good but could have had more beef but the soup was good. Boyfriend had beef chow fun and fried dumplings which he said was not so good. Overall, 3 stars for a first try. I would give it a second chance.

I’m a little bit obsessed. I’m pretty sure I have ordered from this place(and usually the same dishes) at least 4 times in the span of two weeks. If capitalism wasn’t a thing, I’m pretty sure they would refuse to send me lo mein for fear that my cholesterol and overall health would plummet. Anyway, though I have to pace myself, I will definitely keep coming here – the spare ribs are thick and juicy and not loaded down with sauce, and the Lo Mein is incredibly tasty(a little oily but still delicious). The chicken wings are good as well, but the first time I ordered here they were a bit oily. Anyway, my experience here has been pretty great as far as Chinese food in my general area goes.

As soon as my husband and I moved into the area, there were three things we needed to scope out — 1) the nearest bagel shop, 2) the nearest coffee shop, and 3) the nearest Chinese fast food joint. Tasty & Co sits closest to our new apartment so we’ve made a few visits in recent months and my verdict rolls in at a solid 3.5. Unlike a few other Chinese fast food restaurants that are mere steps away, Tasty & Co seems to try and draw precious customers away from the competition by padding its menu with tons of novel offerings that you can’t get elsewhere. Baked goods, for one. Along the far wall, there are shelves of your typical Chinese bakery items like pineapple red bean buns, sponge cakes, and egg tarts. Not a fan of breads? How about ice creams? They have both soft serve and scoop-able frozen yogurt. Would you rather prefer a sweet drink? They have milk teas too. If you’re only here for the food and love the tune of Asian fusion, you’ll probably love the signs posted all around boasting the mayonnaise walnut shrimp specialty(which I would usually only order in a true sit-down Chinese restaurant), the new shrimp pad thai, or the wonton soups. Call it ambitious or call it culinarily schizophrenic, but they really seem to try and previse all potential appetites with their menu. During my last two visits, I had the vegetable noodle soup, which came with satisfyingly curly egg noodles(meaning just a shade underdone, which is arguably the only way it should ever be done as it continues to cook in hot broth) and a good handful of mixed vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. Ordering it as a takeout dish revealed thoughtful packaging, as they packed the cooked noodles/veggies and the broth in separate containers so that it wouldn’t overcook en route to your destination. The broth was flavorful and hearty, if a little salty, and I liked it well enough to order it a few more times. Tonight, I ordered from their combination menu, which is a pretty common part of a lot of Chinese takeout restaurants now — popular entrees that are paired with your choice of rice and an egg roll. I got the broccoli in garlic sauce and the kind woman taking my order kindly obliged when I asked her if I could substitute the pork egg roll for one of their vegetable rolls(big props for veggie-friendly swapouts). The meal was a healthy serving, though I’m never a huge fan of the artificially red sauces that some places use for their garlic sauce. Redolent of the bright red glaze of charsiu pork in both shade and taste, my sauce had none of the promised spice that was expected by the pepper icon next to this dish on the menu. Nevertheless, it did its job of sating my hunger until the next meal so I wasn’t totally mad at it. The vegetable roll was exactly what you’d get if you took all of the pork out of a regular egg roll — a deep fried wrapper hugging a small wad of shredded cabbage and vegetables. Not bad nor great. The service you get really depends on when you come in. My husband and I once made the mistake of dining in when it was apparently prime dinner time and our order of two noodle soups took about half an hour(and our meal was oft punctuated with a steady stream of customers and the sound of the phone ringing off the hook). Tonight, I was in and out in less than five minutes. Will I still return? Probably. I’m intrigued enough by the vast menu offerings that I’d be willing to come back(the baked goods, for instance, have been calling my name every time I’ve walked in, especially since my area is so devoid of Chinese bakeries). If you’re in the area with a nebulous hankering for«some Asian food», I’d recommend you drop by.

Of course Chinese take out places are a dime a dozen but thing that separates them from the rest is that they have Chinese bakery items as well. The take out isn’t bad if you know what you want. Some people say it’s bland but I think it’s just right. It’s hard to find the Chinese baked goods around this area without heading all the way over to flushing. I generally like to just grab a coffee and bun on the way to the train. The iced coffee isn’t bad and it’s served with cream and liquid sugar like they do in China town. I haven’t had any problems with delivery as well. I guess it’s just the luck of the draw when it comes to other people’s experience. Come for the baked goods early to get fresh ones and I would say try the take out once to get your own opinion of what you like. I’ll keep coming back since they haven’t disappointed me yet.

Worst Chinese food restaurant in Rego Park. This place is all about maximizing profits at the expense of flavor, quality and quantity. Their food is blan and you get very little meat with your food. The lady at the register is also a liar and very rude. My girlfriend speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin and have heard them lying to customers. Order from any Chinese restaurant in Rego Park except this one.

Lunch special is really good. Peeking pork chop on point. They’re breads and pastries are real good as well. I can’t complain… Except that they only take cash! Besides that, good location. On the corner; good pick-me-up before work.

Ordered takeout from this place for the first time. We hadn’t eaten all day so we decided to order a variety of dishes and save the left overs for a late night snack. The yay: –Delivery was super fast, my food came in about 20 minutes on a Friday night –The mango bubble tea was delicious, not too sweet with lots of boba. Also I love that they used spill proof sealed lids so nothing spilled while in transit. –My Beef Teriyaki, which slightly skimpy on the actual meat, was really tasty, and came with veggies and white rice. –Two free sodas if you order over $ 25 on grubhub. The okay: –The scallion pancakes — the sauce spilled all over these and I wasn’t a fan, but the ones that hadn’t been soaked by sauce were crispy and yummy! –The Beef Stew was yummy, but based on other reviews, slightly overhyped. I would go for the teriyaki over the stew, personally. The nay: –The fried wontons were not good. The meat filling was bland, they weren’t as crispy as I would like. Next time I’ll try the dumplings. Overall, I would order from this place again, if only because they have bubble tea. I would love to see them offer their pastries for delivery, but for now, I’ll just stick to bubble tea to get my sugar fix.

I don’t really know that if this is a bakery or a Chinese takeout place. I did the take out last week and it was way below average. It’s one of the place that use cheapest rice. Don’t think I’ll go back.

I come here all the time. Most of their food is delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai(stir-fried noodles). The shrimp is huge and the price is decent. Their wonton is great too but don’t order it with noodles. Personally, I didn’t like any of their pork menus.

One of the best chinese place! You can find the authentic Cantonese food for the best price. Please give it a try once and I promise you will go again.

This place is the local take out/delivery place for us. Though there are tons of other options to chose from, I liked this place because they have traditional style foods such as congee, wonton noodle soups, and salt & pepper pork chops. However the last few times the delivery guy came by: #1 — He keeps getting lost and going to the wrong building or apt. #2 — When he finally arrives he asks for more tip I finally had it today, when he arrived. Delivery guy tried to take a $ 7 tip by playing dumb with me. I had my hand out asking back for my change, he only gave me $ 2 back. He tried to leave and turn away but when I pointed to the receipt and said the food was only $ 13, he then gave me another $ 1 and said it was all he had. When I called the restaurant to report him, they pretended not to understand and hung up on me. This is the last time I order from this place. Be forewarned and watch out for the dumb delivery guy.

Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of Chinese food, unlike my good friend Leo(read Joe’s Crab Shack). I was introduced to this place by the spouse who used to work across the street and who only comes here for their coffee. I would probably not trust to dine here, but then again I’m trying to be on the classier side of things. Lol I have tried their coffee and I must attest to the fact that they do have a good brew going, better then all the other places on the block, although a bit pricier. They also have some types of baked goods here, I once tried a walnut cookie here, no Lulu’s bakery, I assure you. One thing that is annoying is that I have never, not once been greeted with a smile or a hello upon entering this place. I’m very picky about the type of service I get and that is why I gave 3 stars. Will be coming back for the coffee, I do think I’ll forego the walnut cookie though.

This place is remarkable, unbelievable and versatile. By far this restaurant has the most selection of Chinese food. Not only they get Chinese bakery and bubble tea, but also teriyaki, noodles, fried rice, Szechuan cuisine and Cantonese food. The price was cheap and food was good. I saw many people sitting around the table, eating the food. The place was neat and tidy thought it was small.

Always came here for the pork buns but recently decided to try their dishes. I was skeptical at first but I was proven wrong. You have to try the beef stew over rice or the beef stew/tenderloin wonton soup. The beef is amazing! Always soft and tender. We’ve ordered more than 5x and it’s always on point. We’ve ordered online through their website and by phone, haven’t had any trouble so far. The only thing is when you order online, they call you after 5−10mins to confirm the order. It’s probably a good thing but can be a waste of time when you expect that your order is being made already.
