About Tasty Garden
Tasty Garden is a Chinese takeaway in Harrow, on Preston Rd at number 316. The menu runs to more than 120 dishes, so the choice goes well beyond a handful of standards, with honey ribs, duck pancakes and chicken chow mein among them. Payment is cash only, so customers need to bring cash rather than a card. The shop is small and works on a walk-in basis, and orders can also be placed by phone ahead of a visit.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the generous portions and value, with big servings of fried rice, a sweet and sour chicken described as packed with chicken rather than veg, and a chicken chow mein called tasty and not oily. Duck pancakes, honey ribs and seaweed also get mentions, along with flat dry vegetable noodles that one diner found well seasoned. Several describe quick, timely delivery and polite, kind phone service, and a long-time customer calls the food consistently great. The cash-only policy comes up, and one reviewer says it is not on the apps. The criticism is split between food and service. One diner found the chicken fried rice plain boiled rice and chicken with peas and the noodles seemingly days old, while another called the food decent but unremarkable with lukewarm delivery. Two reviewers describe a hostile woman at the counter: one says she was shouted at over an unpaid phone order after forgetting cash, and another says a homeless man was refused £3 of chips because the minimum was higher. The same first reviewer still called the chicken balls nice.

“I went for the first time to have a Chinese food in London at this place after being massive fan of Chinese food I ordered chicken fried rice and sp chicken noodles and it was just not good at all The chicken rice was just plain boiled rice and boiled chicken with some green peas ,no season no flavors And the noodles seems to be about 4 days old Wasn't a pleasant experience at all”

“The woman in this restaurant with the glasses is sooo grumpy and full of attitude myself and daughter have been ordering from this shop a couple of times and we made an order over the phone 4 days ago but forgot our purse because she only takes cash by the time we was making our way to the shop to pay the shop was closed 4 days later we turn up ordering some food and she starts behaving hostile having a go at us even though we explained and apologised, but she wasnt having it & just kept going on and lecturing us like little school kids standing in the naughty corner, as if we purposely ordered the food just not to pay to cause her grief, I had to ask her if she was ok because she kept shouting and arguing with us. She even said we can have our money back without us asking for it. 😄 I always thought this women looked a little serious everytime I order from there but after today I think she has some internal issues going on, how about start taking cards as well as cash if you fill that annoyed or if you felt we had ordered to close to your closing time say so because I wasn't aware the shop closed so quick, it was only after 9 that Saturday, instead you hung up in a haste no bye or nothing because your to busy giving attitude. I will never order from there again the chicken balls were nice but I wouldn't trust her to cook my food again plus her attitude stinks. We had a nice fish and chips in the end on preston road at least in there they sell great food with a nice service. Becareful ppl don't cross this women. 👀”

“Tasty Menu in Harrow is a small Chinese takeaway offering an impressively large selection of over 120 dishes, but the extensive menu seems to work against them. With so many options, consistency and freshness are hard to maintain, and it shows in the overall quality. The food was decent but unremarkable, and the delivery could be improved—lukewarm dishes really take away from the experience. They’d be far better off focusing on a smaller menu of around 40 well-executed favourites to ensure each meal arrives hot, fresh, and flavourful.”
