Tasty Inn Express

The service is superb! The Singapore rice noodles and the beef fried noodles is what we have tasted in Hong Kong.

After seeing all the good reviews we decided to try it.Leery because it's in a mall food court. What a pleasant surprise! Great food cooked to order, great flavors. From what I've read it's family owned with a dedication to quality. It shows. Go there, you won't be disappointed. Orange chicken was perfect. Support local businesses! And really the food court was quite pleasant.

Stick with Singapore noodles and chow fun noodles. Those noodles are my go to and never disappoint at this place. Chow mein is okay. Wasn't the biggest fan of their pad Thai I prefer that at that restaurants idk the flavor was off. Definitely wouldn't go for orange chicken and walnut shrimp as it was soggy and oddly had celery cooked with it. The soup here is pretty good. Overall, most of the dishes here are pretty satisfying. I did enjoy the Mongolian chicken I think that's what it was one of the meats either nuts. This place is a nice little gem. The lady at the counter is very nice and service is rather fast. I think they're a husband and wife team.

I will preface this review by noting that while I've been here a lot over the years, I've only eaten the noodle dishes haha. They have quite a few options and you pick your protein and the preferred type of noodle and it's cooked fresh to order. It's actually pretty tasty and I'm a sucker for noodles of any kind. My favorite here is the yakisoba. It's prepared with a nice variety of fresh vegetables and a light sauce that doesn't leave me feeling thirsty and bloated like a lot of other places. Yakisoba is my favorite comfort food going back to when I lived in Japan and they make it simply, much like my old neighbor in Japan. The lady that seems to always be here when I come is super nice and helpful. The portions are more than enough for me and it's still priced well compared to other places around them. They have an extensive menu, just because I don't order anything else doesn't mean I don't appreciate the variety of the menu, one of these days I'll order something non noodle, it could happen..

This is a family owned business inside of the Grossmont Mall Food Court area. The staff was lovely and happy to explain new menu options to me. The food is also cooked fresh so expect a wait time of about 10 minutes. Everything smells delicious. If you're in a hurry, they said you can also call ahead and pick up when your order is ready to go. What I ordered: a combo with orange chicken, kung pao beef, and honey walnut shrimp, with half fried rice and half noodles, with two veggie egg rolls on the side. The walnut shrimp was mainly pineapple chunks, but the other two entrees were good! Eggs rolls too.

This place is solid for Chinese food. Especially in this area. Honestly, there aren't a whole lot of great taste in Chinese food places in La Mesa or East County. It's located in the food court, and it appears to be family owned. The same friendly woman helps my son and I, every time we come. At times I will enjoy for portioned entrées with another Mom friend and her child.The portions are great, especially for the price. My favorite tends to be either orange chicken, broccoli, beef, and chow mein combo. They offer some other great combination items though. The photo that's posted, the orange chicken and broccoli beef are half eaten so if that gives you a better idea on Porsches... The price for the combination plate was $10.88. Not bad at all!I generally just get a two-item combo plate. They are fairly fast, and they have a sign saying "cooked to order". I don't mind if it takes a couple extra minutes. Generally taste fresh every time. They're chow mein noodles are pretty solid, the brown sauce that the broccoli beef is cooked in is perfectly savory, and they're orange chicken is perfectly crispy and sweet! Definitely worth stopping in for this place whenever we come to Grossmont Center mall.

Enjoyed the vegetable chow mein and the vegetarian sesame "chicken" today. Wow! This is really excellent for a mall food court Chinese food place. I'll probably come back just for the food (not just because I'm at the mall). If you're vegetarian, the number of options is impressive. We loved it!

A must try spot at the Grossmont center.!A sweet family run eatery that makes every dishes taste delicious :). A very surprised find at the Grossmont center. Their noodles dishes filled with flavors and just the right amount of spices that bring out the great aroma for each of the dishes. A must try!

Wow. Usually Chinese food inside a food court is not that good. Usually it's just a meal you buy out of convenience while shopping at the mall. Tasty Inn Express is Chinese restaurant inside a mall that you plan to go to even though it is inside a mall. I ordered the honey chicken and the meat was cooked perfectly. It was tender, not to sweet and made you feel like you were eating at a 5 star gourmet restaurant. I definitely will be eating here again.

Friendly service and great food. Fantastic vegan options, including the orange chicken that is seriously the most delicious version of the meal I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. Love how reliable they are to deliver an enjoyable meal every time. Easily the best option at the Grossmont food court ( without question it has the best hours).Look forward to eating there again soon!
