Taste Good Chinese

Definitely the best Chinese place in Buffalo. This is your classic Chinese American fare done right, every time, with large portions at decent prices. My family eats here every week or two and has regularly for years. I'd recommend them to anyone. :)

My husband and I were waiting for our kid to finish her AAU basketball practice nearby by loitering in the Dunkin lot next to the plaza where Taste Good is located. He looked over and said, "Hey, I hear that place tastes pretty good." He's cute, so the cheesy dad joke convinced me to give Taste Good a try. :-D And I'm glad we did! Taste Good prices are very reasonable, on the lower end of Chinese takeout that I've seen lately anyway. Where a lot of places are pushing $15 for most dishes, there are many $10.99 menu options here. Also, I eat vegetarian and was pleased to see a decent-sized list of vegetarian options that included some with plant-based chicken and beef. I decided to go with a tofu dish, the bean curd in garlic sauce. And the tofu here was really good! This dish had fried tofu that was cut into triangles a bit thinner than a lot of Chinese takeout typically does. So it was somewhat sturdier on the outside with more snap than usual, still with the chewy soft middle you'd expect. The portion was very generous, with a lot of tofu filling the standard rectangle plastic takeout container. The vegetables were ample too, but not so much that the tofu was skimpy, it was a good pile of tofu! I liked the tofu so much that I've since returned to Taste Good with my vegan teen daughter to get the same dish for her to try. And her verdict? She really likes it too! The thinner cut on the tofu really does allow it to have a more concentrated flavor from the sauce, and a really satisfying crisp-then-soft-chew to it. Taste Good is generally out of our way, but when we are in the area I will gladly stop back in to enjoy the tofu and try other parts of the vegetarian menu. This is strictly takeout, no tables inside. So if you are looking for affordable Chinese takeout that Tastes Good, well, it's in the name, you've found it!

So far, this is the best Chinese food around town although sitting down in a quiet spot is desired from time to time v
