Tasty Place Bakery & Cafe

The food is absolutely incredible!! I got beef congee that was seasoned sooo perfectly, had just the right amount of salt and flavors to not get bored of any bite. Friend got the Beef rib tip crepe and it was delicious, (its not a french crepe!!) and paired sooooo well with their soy sauce which was also the best soy sauce I've ever had!! Also got the chicken feet in red bean, so juicy and left just the smallest satisfying tingle on my lips. Theyre han egg bun was so delicious too, the bread is a sweet soft and so perfect. It was busy in the morning so finding a seat was a little awkward but people had no issue moving or sitting in a table with strangers. It was also so nice seeing older people just enjoying their community in an establishment. Absolutely a MUST eat!!! Sooooo value too, but cash only!

Heads up: cash only. We been coming here for cheap and good food for a while now. But the most recent visit the food was terrible. Our Singapore noodles was oily, almost no meats on it and super spicy, I mean super spicy. We eat Korean spicy food all the time so can handle them. But this dish was almost un-eatable. Or normal dish are beef stirred flat rice noodles and salted fish and chicken fried rice. Good BBQ buns too. The baked version.

We arrived Chinatown early and wasn’t quite ready for lunch yet so we order SOE dim sum and a fried flat noodles with gravy. The noodle is super tasty and the dim sum taste is reasonable. With the price they offer, nothing to complain about. On the second day we went back for more dishes to go, the portion is huge and the taste is really really good. We will definitely back if we visit Chicago again.

Very cozy place with tasty and affordable food. We ordered six dishes plus smoothie. You can easily get a delicious meal under 10 dollars. My salt and pepper tofu could use a bit more veggies though. The sesame chicken was a tad too sweet. Still, would highly recommend visiting.

Food was good and affordable. Service was great, the lady who took our order was super sweet. My son and husband loved the food.
