TLDR: the food here is fantastic and at a very fair price!
There aren't many places on the Eastside open later at night, so I'm super happy to have discovered this place that closes at 9 on most days!
You scan a QR code once you sit down in order to order your food.
The menu is very extensive, serving hotpot, boba, fried chicken, and other Chinese foods. I've only tried a few dishes from here, but am excited to try many more on the menu because everything I have tried has been amazing!
Mala Chicken: Note: They have a dine in promotion where you can get a generous serving of this which can feed 2-3 people for $9 and change. It's a huge amount of battered and fried bite size pieces of chicken, dusted with seasonings and served with peanuts and green onions. Salty, savory, and spicy but more of in a tingling sense rather than in an overwhelming manner.
Basil Fried Rice: A simple egg fried rice that is somehow so much more elevated than what I can make at home. Now, you may be thinking, "Why should I pay for egg fried rice? I can make it at home for so much cheaper!" BUT YOU CAN'T. The texture of the rice is PERFECT and somehow every grain of rice is separated in this dish rather than glooped together. The best reference point I can describe it as is Din Tai Fung's EFR, but you get so much more here and for a much better price.
Chicken Sandwiches: MOVE OVER CHICK FILA!! This is one of So Tasty's most popular dishes, and for good reason! The chicken is battered in a light, crispy, incredibly crunchy dough, but is still perfectly moist. The spicy version adds the perfect kick to it.
Jasmine Milk Tea: This was a solid, standard milk tea! Good balance of the floral aroma, sugar, tea leaves, and milk. Also, more affordable than most boba places nowadays.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be your sign to go visit this restaurant! They deserve more business and you won't regret it after tasting the food. It really does live up to the name "So Tasty"!
