[Arcadia] [Chinese] Tasty To Go

Tasty To Go
五星美食

My brother and sister-in-law took me to Tasty To Go to try their "really really good drinks" (according to them).  It was sort of a take-out place with a few tables inside.  The L shape counter pretty much had two sides.  One side is for drinks like boba and slushy.  The other side is for those 3 items combo.


茉香奶茶 Jasmine Milk Tea ($3.00) / 杏仁牛奶 Almond Fresh Milk Fusion ($3.25) / 蜂蜜波霸 Honey Boba ($0.50 Add-On)

Brother ordered Jasmine Milk Tea with Honey Boba.  He said that was what he ALWAYS orders.  Sister in law ordered Yogurt Slushy (多多冰沙), which took a little longer to make so I forgot to take a picture of it.  It tasted just like Taiwanese yogurt drink 養樂多.  I ordered Almond Fresh Milk Fusion with Honey Boba.  The Milk Fusion had more milk than tea, and I loved this drink.  Yup, Tasty To Go does have really really good drinks.



2 Item Combo ($4.55)
Fried rice or chow mein plus any 2 items

Since I was there, might as well get some food.  We had plan to go out to eat later.  So the food was for me to bring http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com for Dr. P and I to enjoy the next day.  For their item combo, you can pick 1 item ($3.55) , 2 items ($4.55) or 3 items ($5.55).  I was watching the people in front of me ordering food, and noticed they use the same size container for 1 item and 3 items.  So you actually get the same amount of food.  But the price difference was only for variety I guess.  I picked two items, the two most popular "Panda Express" items, Broccoli Beef and Orange Chicken.  Tasty To Go really did a good job.  It was Americanize Chinese, but more Chinese than Panda Express (hope the description makes sense. haha...).  The chow mein was really good.  Fried rice was a little dry for my taste.


海南雞飯 Hainan Chicken with Rice ($5.55)
Hainan flavored chicken, rice & vegetable side

My brother said his friend told him the Hainan Chicken Rice is really good, so I got one to try at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com, too.  It was indeed very good.  The chicken was tender and flavorful.  The sauteed vegetable was super tasty.  The chicken flavor rice was delicious just on its own.  A giant box of food was only $5.55!  What a good deal!

We really enjoyed the food from Tasty To Go.  Drinks are good, too.  My brother said they also have good snow ice.  I want to try that next time.  I think I might stop by at this place to get some food and drink when I'm in the area every time now.

  1. I thought the rice was just plain rice until I read a little more carefully. I'll have to swing by next time I go to Arcadia!

    Really good price for $5.55! Hope you enjoy it.
