Hey there shota!
ユーコネクトの英語コーチのアーサーです！
英語の言い方はだいたい二つあります
I didn't think it would be this delicious
I didn't think it would be that delicious
この場合の「this」と「that」の使い分けは？
I didn't think it would be that delicious
の方は、美味しくないと思ってた時に使います。
I didn't think it would be this delicious
の方は、[美味しい](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/44067/)と思ってたのですがさらに美味しかったという意味です。
[感動した](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/34091/)場合、
I had no ideaを使います。
I had no idea it would be this delicious!
よろしくお願いします！
アーサーより
I never thought it would be this good＝こんなに[美味しい](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/44067/)とは思いもしなかった
Goodと言う何にでも使える言葉なのでこのフレーズは何にでも使えます。（例えばずっと見た事なかった映画や初めて体験する事）
I didn't expect it to be this delicious＝こんなに美味しいとは[期待して](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/33209/)いなかった
expect＝期待
delicious＝美味しい、美味
「～とは思わなかった」という表現ですが、
「I didn’t expect/think that S+V～.」
「I didn’t expect 名詞 to do ～.」
「I’ve never thought that S+V～.」
などというように表せます。
（※個人的には「expect」という動詞を、この場合は多く使います！）
ご質問にございました、
「I didn't thinkとI never thoughtのどちらでも大丈夫なのでしょうか？」
という問いに関しましては、下記をご参照ください！
○「I didn't think」（「～とは思わなかった」）
×「I never thought」 → ○「I’ve never thought 」（「～とは思いもしなかった」）
以上です！

These are all great ways to show surprise for something that tastes unexpectedly great.When you say " Wow this is tastier than I thought! " it means that you initially thought it would have a terrible taste and now you have been proven wrong.
"I didn't imagine it would be this delicious!"
This means you had originally thought it would be terrible based on what it looks like ,the ingredients put into it or your own imagined thoughts of what it was likely to taste like and you are now pleasantly surprised by its taste.
"What a pleasant surprise,this tastes great!"
This is also another way to express surprise at a dish you assumed would be terrible.
想像もしなかったほどおいしいというときにぴったりの表現です。 " Wow this is tastier than I thought! "思ったよりもおいしい！ まずいとおもっていたものが実はおいしくて自分の考えは間違っていたというニュアンス
"I didn't imagine it would be this delicious!"こんなにおいしいとは想像もしてなかった。
見た目や材料、想像でまずいと思っていたけどその味のおいしさに驚いているという意味。
"What a pleasant surprise,this tastes great!"なんてうれしい驚き！これ本当においしい！
まずいと思っていたものがおいしかったときの他の言い方です。
You can use any of the above two sentences when something exceeds your expectations.
Example;
A; How was the food?
B; It was great! I didn't expect it to be this delicious.
examples
"i never knew it tasted that good!".
"this is so tasty".
"its delicious".
or more formally
"this meal is delightful".
or
"the flavours are delectable".
例文
"I never knew it tasted that good!".
こんなに美味しいなんて知らなかった
"This is so tasty".
これは本当に美味しい
"It's delicious".
それはとても美味しい
もっとフォーマルに言うのであれば
例文
"This meal is delightful".
この食事は素晴らしい
"The flavours are delectable".
味が素晴らしい
When referring to food on a plate, one can call it a "dish". The word "surpassed" means that it went beyond a certain point. Using the sentence above, you are saying that the food you ate are better/ yummier than you expected.
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of that dish.
Wow! This was better than I expected!
1. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of that dish.
If you were 'pleasantly surprised' then it means that the
dish exceeded your expectations. In other words you were
not expecting such a great dish, experience, etc.
Another example:
I was pleasantly surprised by that movie.
2. Wow! This was better than I expected!'
'Wow' is normallyexpressed when you think that something is good or
great..
Example: Wow! You look fantastic!
"Better than expected" means that you had not been expecting
it to be so good.
The first example sentences is using the conditional, "would have tasted," to describe the thoughts you had about the food before you tried it. Notice in the second two examples we can interchangeably use the verbs, "was," and, "tasted," while also having the option to include saying, "it would," which refers to this same conditional sense.
It was more delicious than what I thought it was going to be.
It is a nice surprise when something tastes better than expected. This can be due to past experiences tasting that particular food, eating with your eyes, (if the food looks good it should taste good and vice versa).
