Tasty Goody bills itself as "The Greatest Chinese Food in California." Well I would go that far but they are very good. They pride themselves on quality and quanity. They give you huge portions. Their menu says a two item combo will be more than one and a half pounds. It is. It's really too much for one person to eat. This will be two meals for me.
I ordered the two item combo, with Chinese BBQ pork and teriyaki chicken, for $5.51. The fried rice had peas, carrots, and bits of eggs. It was lightly seasoned but without soy sauce like most fried rice are. The Chinese BBQ pork was more tender than other places I've been. Most of the pork was lean but a few pieces had their share of fat.
The teriyaki chicken was very good. Many teriyaki chicken tend to be salty but they had the right amount of spices. A good amount of the ckicken was white meat and the chicken was lean. The chicken was very good and one of the better teriyaki chicken around.
Service is very good. The turnover seems high for the dinner rush so nothing was sitting on the steam tables for a long time.
