We had not planned on eating here but last-minute decided to dine here given this was our only option in the vicinity. But I'm not upset at all about this impromptu decision as we had a great meal here. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. the most notable items for me were the spicy wontons and fish in chili oil. The dishes were spicy but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy the actual flavors of the dish. For those that like the Szechuan tingling feeling, the chicken in explosive chilis was also quite good. We had also given the string beans, green onion pancake, and pork and shrimp dumplings a shot and all of them hit the spot. I'm usually a huge fan of braised beef noodle soup so decided to get that here too. It wasn't the same as if I had gotten this dish at a Taiwanese restaurant; compared to the strong flavors of the other dishes, this one was pretty mild. So it's something I would skip next time I come, but every other dish was on point. Our waitress was also great at taking care of us, bring out our food quickly and helping us to clear the other plates. Even after we finished our meal and overstayed our welcome by continuing to chat, the staff didn't make us feel rushed to leave.

Yeah this place is a must-go. My partner and I visited Shanghai & Chongqing recently and this blows everything we had out the water. - the fish is so fresh you could taste it - the portions are generous - the seasoning is perfect. You can drink the soup without feeling overwhelmed - the spicy mala numbing flavor is exactly what you'd get in China This restaurant is a gem.

This spot is a great find. Decent prices with many tasty chinese dish options. The eggplant was so good and very flavorful. The dumplings were very juicy. The food came out pretty quickly and the lady that helped us was very kind. Great spot!

[Ambiance] - When I step into the resturant. My first impression was a family type style resturant. Many chinese decoration and quite roomy. 4/5 [Service] - Great Service. My food came at a reasonable time. While I ordered some soup the waitress asked if I need some bowls with that. Very Polite and welcoming 4/5 [Food] - 4/5 House Special Beef Noodle Soup 4/5 "TASTE" - Rich Broth w chill oil, Thick Noodles (Udon-like) soaked in a lot of broth had a nice bouncy texture and very flavorful. (I dont recommend this noodle for the Zha Jiang Mian however) Strong flavors and Seasoned well. "SMELL" - Spicy meaty broth aroma "PRESENTATION" - Looked appetizing. The soup had this this spicy red color to it. I'm glad I ordered mild spice. I was still able to taste after eating it. The dish is topped w fusion peanuts and minced meat House Dumplings w Fish and Celery (Steamed) 4/5 "TASTE" - Delicious. Simple but yet tasty. Came out nice and hot. Seasoned quite well. Its just melts in your mouth with each dumpling. Everything from the dough to the fish and celery fused very well together. "SMELL" - Nothing Particular "PRESENTATION" Dumpling looked nice a plumpy. Served with a chilli oil sauce on the side. Aside from that nothing special Lamb Soup with intestines (Seasonal Menu on the wall) 4/5 "TASTE" - Delicous rich broth. Taste like the broth has been boiled down for many hours. Seasoned well. There was assortment of intestines. "SMELL" - Nothing Particular "PRESENTATION" - Nice milky broth topped with some scallion. Additional comments - It was a cold day out. The Lamb soup was probably one of the better lamb soup I have tasted. Very nice on a cold day to warm up your body. Same for the Beef Noodle soup as well.

I thought this place was decent, maybe 3.5-4 stars or so. We had three dishes: -Dan Dan noodles was really good. Noodles were on the thicker side and I really really liked the sauce they had here. It actually paired really well with the wontons that were a little bland. The dish overall wasn't too spicy. I would definitely get this again. -Spicy wontons. I thought this one was a little bland. I had to add some soy sauce and extra chili oil and then it tasted decent. Then I also tried the dan dan noodles sauce with them and that elevated it a lot! -tender beef flaming pot was ok. I thought this was more like mala xiang guo but it was mostly just beef and onion with not much else. -rice was extra. Service was fine with plenty of water refills.

My friends like to get dumplings for takeout from this place so I decided to try Tasty Place for the first time. Jean who answered the phone was nice and took my order over the phone. She recommended their house dumpling (fish and chive) that she said got them in the Michelin guide so I ordered that along with many items marked as popular on their website. I liked their various dumplings, Old Beijing Zha Jiang Mian. hot and sour soup, mapo tofu (it's spicy), eggplant garlic sauce, and fish with flaming chili oil. Kung pao chicken and broccoli beef were decent too. The lao ma won ton comes in a numbing spicy sauce and was good, but it needs to be eaten right away because the won ton wrappers break when they're in the sauce for too long. I saw they had two websites and she said spicyhome520.com is their current website which takes online orders. The older website had an offer for free wang lao ji herbal tea if you spend over a certain amount which she honored. She gave us 4 cans of herbal tea for free, free eggrolls, and increased the portion of the hot and sour soup for us which normally feeds 2. I requested dishes to be less spicy, and they were for the most part except the braised seabass and tofu was salty.
