Tasty Goody Express sits along Mission Blvd in Montclair as a straightforward spot for Chinese fast food with a bit more attention to flavor than your usual quick-bite chain. This counter-serve restaurant makes a point of cooking dishes in smaller batches, which means the food rarely feels like it's been sitting under heat lamps. You can expect the kitchen to crank out classics like Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, and Teriyaki Chicken, alongside staples like BBQ Pork served with fried rice and chow mein.

The atmosphere is casual and functional—this isn’t a place to linger over a slow dinner but rather somewhere to grab a comforting, sizable meal on the go or to take home. The service tends to be friendly and laid-back, reflecting a neighborhood-focused approach rather than polished formality. Families, local workers, and anyone looking for generous portions at affordable prices make up most of the crowd, especially around lunch and early dinner hours.

One recognizable draw here is how each dish carries a distinctive twist on familiar flavors, steering clear of the generic takeout profile. The orange-flavored chicken and beef broccoli stand out as go-to picks, while items like the Mongolian beef over lo mein and the various chicken bowls offer solid variety for those who want something heartier or a bit different. Soups like hot & sour and wonton round out the menu well, fitting for a quick comfort bite.

Because the kitchen prepares food fresh as orders come in, there’s an expected brief wait that customers appreciate for its trade-off in quality. The size of the servings often means leftovers for the next day, adding to the place’s appeal for those who want reliable meals without fuss. If you’re in Montclair looking for no-nonsense Chinese food with a bit more personality than the typical takeaway, Tasty Goody Express makes a sensible stop.

This place has amazing food and a great staff. Their food is real fresh and items are being replenished quickly because they cook them in smaller batches. It is a counter-serve place. Its not fast food but good food done fast. Cheap prices with big portions.

The people and service is always nice when I come here with my daughter. I just get annoyed when the customers are so rude to hard working people. One of the servers is hard of hearing so please be kind to everyone when you order. My favorite dish to order is the creamy shrimp, low mein and wontons. The food is very flavorable and the prices are great for the amount of food you get. They've been around here for a long time and you won't be disappointed. Nice local place to eat at.

Came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Service was friendly, gracious portion sizes and most importantly delicious! I really appreciate the cooked to order policy along with it being made clear on their menu to allow prep time. Definitely will be my go to for now on

The food can a bit on the salty and oily side, nut it's very satisfying. The service was prompt, friendly and personalized. The portion sizes are humongous (I hope they don't take this review as an excuse to downsize them!). The dining area and general ambiance look above average for this kinds of establishments. I wish they had the rooster brand sriracha bottles, soy sauce and white pepper as table condiments. Still, Tasty Goodie Express is probably one of the top Chinese American takeouts in the Pomona area. I think their egg rolls should be $1.75 or 2 for $3. Oh well, you can't have it all! Highly recommend!
