T Tasty House

I came here for a dinner with my family a week or two ago. The food was alright and the customer service was pretty good actually. They cleared my dirty plate every 20 minutes and gave me a new one, which has never happened to me before in Chinatown. I always got stuck with my plate that had all the sauces from all of the dishes.

We ordered crab, fried tofu with string mushrooms, a spicy fish dish with eggplant and some other dishes. I can't remember them all, but they were all relatively good. Nothing exquisite, but nothing that would lead to disappointment.

I got their red bean with coconut drink at the end and they made it exactly the way I wanted, without the red bean crushed up. Good job!

!!!!!!!!!!!!Watch out!!!!!!!!!!!
New owner, new chef. NO shredded pancake, BAD xiao long bao (not the same flavor at all!!!!! and the skin is freaking thick!), NO silk melon shrimp soup dumplings, NO soymilk (machine was broken that day, huh?) NO crispy sesame bun with red bean paste filling, Geeeeeeeez, what do you have??

The rice cake stir-fry is watery and soupy, the jiu-tsai box is gummy chewy with tiny bit filling, scallion pancake was oily and flavorless. The only OK item was the beef and cucumber rolled in the pancake.

I'm SOOOOOOOO MAAAAAAAAAD and sooooooo saaaaaaaaad!!!! Will not come back, ever. It used to be such a treat to go there.

I'm taking a break from them as I think everything went downhill. The soup dumplings probably were premade, but they were still ok.

The beef noodle soup is just not the same anymore. Instead of whatever beef they used before, they use that beef brisket and they gave us more of the lining. When the waitress was talking about it, she said it was tender......barely any meat part, so probably it was so tender it melted away. Also, the noodles didn't taste as good either.

We couldn't decide on what to order and she kept suggesting all these items and I'm like my guy will not like it (he's not Asian, he will eat pretty much anything, but I know him too). I felt like she was a salesperson just trying to make a commission. So, we finally decided on a tofu and seafood dish. I didn't care for it. It had a bit if spiciness to it, but it's not listed as a spicy dish. Some of the tofu tasted like it wasn't cooked long enough.

I use to just like the soup dumplings and beef noodle soup, but I can get those elsewhere that is better. Pretty much every other dish we had tried has been a disappointment to me.
