Tasty - San Francisco

The food is okay and the food quality is not really consistent. Service is not great neither!

Wow! Best Chinese food in the Richmond. Highly recommend the crispy spicy tofu and spicy wonton. The flavors are unbeatable. You have a take out regular now.

Flavorful entrees, not overly salty, and with crisp vegetables.

No frills kind of place which is perfect for a quick lunch bite to eat. Unfortunately, I came specifically because I wanted some oxtail stew because the last time I tried it here, it was pretty darn good. The odd thing was the waitress immediately replied with a quick snip no more when I was placing my order, but subsequently there were plates after plates of it coming out of the kitchen to other patrons. Hmmm Ended up getting some beef chow fun but some of the beef pieces were on the pinkish side. My stomach and appetite checked out at that point. Fortunately, the bitter melon beef rice plate Friday special was more satisfactory. It came with a coffee/tea or upgradable to milk tea, lemon tea, etc. I had a really good meal at Tasty the last time (dinner) but this time around for lunch was just meh. Maybe will try again next time but will call ahead to confirm oxtail 's availability.

Updated review 4/30/2021. I wanted to try their Fri/Sat prime rib special but it was not available. Other items like their crab dishes were also not available. Tasty's indoor dining room was a chilly 52°F because they left the front door open for COVID. Tonight I had their HK style black pepper steak $12. The steak had a good pepper taste with a heavy sauce on the side. The pasta was meh with a sweet red meat sauce. I would have preferred a traditional tomato sauce. It was a decent dish. Service was excellent as there were only three other customers dining.Original review:Indoor dining 4/19/2021. Tonight I had their baked seafood fried rice with Portuguese sauce. It was decent and contained pieces of seafood like little calms, shrimps, small octopus pieces. The vegetables were fresh with a snap to them. True to being a Hong Kong style cafe, the food came out fast within five minutes. Their Portuguese sauce lacked favor causing the fried rice below to be plain. It wasn't bad but could have been better. My bill came to $16 with tax and tip.
