Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Perfect place for an asian food galore!!! The portions were good, meats we’re roasted to the perfection especially the pork. One of the best laksa soup we had recently"
"The food was absolutely divine—each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. From the traditional favorites to the special festive offerings, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive and friendly. We were even given a comfortable private room, which added a lovely touch of privacy and intimacy to the evening. Overall, this restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend for any special occasion!"
"Went here for an early CNY dinner, we had booked well in advance. We decided to just order of the normal menu. Good quality food. Menu is very varied. Dishes are a bit pricey, but portions are very generous. Service is no-nonsense and quick, but I didn't like we were told when we sat down we only had 1 hour and 45 minutes to order and eat our dinner. For a group of 6 they should allow for more time. Ambiance is pretty basic, few or no CNY decorations, and flooded with sunlight."
"Great gathering place. Great food, love their roast pork and duck. Had their black pepper beef, and salt & pepper chicken ribs. Must try. Resonable portion. If you want to spend a bit more and more privacy, ask them for private rooms, avaliable for larger groups, however must call in advance."
"Very modern Chinese restaurant. I really like the tea that was already at the table and the little ornamental sauce holders. We ate corn egg soup, chasiu and pork. Overall great experience and the staff was extremely attentive, they even had mics to talk to one another. All the food came out very fast and the portions were good for the price."
"A Taste of Guangzhou in Forest Hill, Tasty House lives up to its name. This spot delivers seriously good comfort food with bold, nostalgic flavors that speak to tradition done right. Roast duck lovers will appreciate the crisp, golden skin and rich, succulent meat. The roast pork hits that magical trifecta: crunchy skin, tender meat, and just the right amount of fat. But the surprise star is salted free range chicken. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and quietly addictive, something that brings me back to Guangzhou. The ox tongue stir-fry—tender slices with a deep, savory flavor that lingers in the best way. Even the vegetable soup, often a supporting act, held its own with a light but satisfying broth that felt like a warm hug. Tasty House isn’t flashy—it’s the kind of place that wins you over dish by dish. If you’re into honest, flavor-packed Cantonese fare, this place is worth the visit."
"Update: Recently went to try their mud crabs which was not bad but i would have liked the flavour to have more eggs and less red colour. It's a bit too thick. The crab wasn't the freshest but the quantity was huge. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the bun to dip with the sauce especially for the kids. ********** Affordable price for good, big portion of chinese dishes. Spacious restaurant with modern decor. Great place to come in big group. Children friendly too. I like the spinach vegetablr dish we ordered that served with century eggs which was so tasty and big portion. The fried prawns were huge and fresh too. Like restaurant serving fresh ingredients and cooking w care not overcooking."
"Alright you need to hit up this family run local Chinese cuisine place. I've been going here for years with my friends and family and it never disappointed. I chase my home flavours and this place has it all down pat. Get the roast pork and the stir fry goodies but definitely try their speciality seafood dishes. They renovated now too so it's much more roomy and lively."
