Tasty Asian Restaurant
7.5
Compact late-night counter-service spot with Chinese entrees and Korean-style grilled skewers. The hole-in-the-wall exterior belies surprisingly good fried rice and fresh-made dishes that keep delivery drivers busy until 2am.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon, Grilled Beef Short Ribs

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on residential blocks - usually findable since most customers are delivery or quick pickup. Meter-free late night.
Dress code: Literally anything. Counter service in a hole-in-the-wall means pajamas wouldn't raise an eyebrow at 1am.
Noise level: Kitchen noise and order calls dominate. Not a conversation spot - grab and go or hover at the tiny counter.
Weekend wait: 10-15 min for food when delivery rush stacks up; ordering is instant
Weekday lunch: 5-10 min cook time, no line ahead of you
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Workable - vegetable fried rice, tofu dishes, and veggie skewers available. Ask about shared grill for skewers.
Vegan options: Limited but possible - vegetable fried rice without egg, steamed vegetables. Confirm no butter or oyster sauce.
Gluten-free options: Challenging - soy-based sauces throughout menu. Rice dishes safest bet, but shared cooking surfaces make cross-contamination likely
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Hard no. Counter service, no seating to speak of, fluorescent lighting, and a stream of delivery drivers. This is 2am hunger satisfaction, not romance. Zero atmosphere by design.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations because there's barely seating. This is order-at-counter, wait-for-your-number, eat standing or take it home. Walk in anytime.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really designed for dining in with kids - minimal seating, late-night crowd skews adult. Fine for quick takeout of familiar items like fried rice, but don't plan a family dinner here.
Best For
Better for: 2am cravings when even late-night spots have closed. The Korean BBQ skewers offer something different from standard Chinese takeout. Fresh-made beats reheated at this hour.
Skip if: You want to sit down and eat a meal. This is takeout/delivery optimized - the food travels well, the 'restaurant' experience doesn't exist. Choose Bamboo Garden if you need a table and BYOB.
