Food Breakdown: Signature XLB, Beef Noodles, Scallion Pancakes, & Fried Dumplings: These were average at best--just okay, but certainly far below what other standard spots in the area serve. Wontons: Disappointing quality. They lacked both filling and flavor, leaving me eating mostly empty wrapper dough. The noticeable drop in food quality makes me wonder if there has been a change in management or a new team in the kitchen. Given how underwhelming everything tasted, I likely won't be returning.

Brother Wen (owner) decorated the place nicely and tonight the restaurant was packed with people! There was red everywhere! Food tonight was special for Lunar New Year and the sesame oil chicken soup was set up for each table! This is one of the dishes they excel at and you have to call ahead a few days to have this dish ready when you come. We also had Chinese sea bass tonight and that is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I love fresh fish cooked well and this place does a really great job! We also tonight had Buddha Jumping Over Wall dish and I enjoyed the many Chinese veggies in the dish including bamboo shoots. There was also a nice sautéed cauliflower dish, just like the way my mom cooks it. I even tonight for special occasion had a Taiwan beer, it's been a long time since I had one and being in a Taiwanese restaurant, it felt appropriate. A really fun evening tonight and Brother Wen even went around to every table to wish everyone a very Happy Lunar New Year! I just wished we had gotten the karaoke machine going, that would have been so much fun! Happy Lunar New Year of the Snake. May you have good health, wealth and happiness (and yummy food in your tummy)!

I first visited Tasty Pot with my daughter on July 13, and I loved it so much that I went back…read moreabout a week later. Both visits were just as delicious! The concept is really fun and unique. When you walk in, you scan a QR code at your table to place your order, if you need help they are there to help you, and your meal is brought to your table in a boiling hot pot that continues to cook your food. I ordered the vegetable hot pot with lamb on the side, my daughter got the kimchi dumpling hot pot, and her friend ordered the seafood hot pot. Everything came out steaming hot, fresh, and full of flavor. If you need more broth, they're happy to bring you extra. The atmosphere is calm, and relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. They also serve complimentary green tea, which was such a nice touch. It reminded me of going to Chinese restaurants as a kid when they would bring hot tea to the table. It brought back wonderful memories. The regular size was more than enough food for me, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and quick to prepare and serve everything. I definitely recommend Tasty Pot if you're looking for a comforting, flavorful meal and a fun dining experience. I'll definitely be back again!

When we got a table, we ordered using the QR code. It took a bit of time for our food and drinks to come. But the spot was pretty busy. Only saw the server when they brought our drink and our food, and when we ordered additional drinks. This is not like the typically hot pot spots where they bring you the broth and meats/veggies separately to cook yourself. You pick a "soup" premade and it comes to your table in a hot clay pot. It's a bit heavier broth. Definitely not what my taste buds enjoy. However my husband liked it. I don't think I'll dine here again only because I prefer the cook myself experience, simple ingredients, and lighter broth.

I knew there was an issue when I lifted up the container and I weighed about 4 ounces. When I got home, I realized why. Almost no beef. All sautéed onions and green peppers. Maybe the guy at the front counter misunderstood and thought I said vegetarian plate. Also ordered crab Rangoon's. Very greasy. Obviously fried at a very low temperature. All this for $35. I was a little irritated. There was no side of chili oil either, but it didn't really matter. The food was so crappy it couldn't have helped. I threw most of it in the garbage and I had leftover frozen pizza from the night before. I'm sitting on the toilet as a write the review. It's actually a very good colon cleans.

Hey Yelpers! Stopped in here after doing a Christmas event nearby. Boba tea AND churros??? Yes…read moreplease! They have a pretty large menu of options for churros and teas. I got just a traditional churro and it was huge! Not just the stick I'm used to. This thing was easily as long as two of those and twisted in a ribbon shape. The fam ordered their churro covered in strawberries, bananas, and Nutella. Everything was great. The store is very nice inside, with lots of anime type stuff going on. As for the service, they were friendly and fast. They did a great job overall. If you're looking for a cool dessert spot, Tea-riffic Churro is a great spot to try!

I got a brown sugar milk tea and it was bitter idk if that's just how they make it or if she just messed up due to her not paying attention the strawberry matcha was actually decent and the churros were cold and nasty, such a shame I spent $35 for mediocre food should've just went to bomb-Bobba

Staff was only one person, they weren't friendly; they weren't mean they may have been tired, but the friendliness was not there. When I asked for my drink I could see the disappointment in his face perhaps do it being tedious to make? I don't know. The drink I got was the Mangonada! A fun drink but it was all too good. If you enjoyed the Chimoy trend you may enjoy this! It was not for me, the balance between spicy, savory, and sweet was off. The restaurant was average! Great to pickup a quick treat but the design is basic. Plenty of seating, but not somewhere I'd stay for long. All in all, I'd come back to try more drinks they look cool for sure, but the customer service needs work and the design of the restaurant is up to the creativity of the owners.

I tried the beef noodle soup which has soft tender beef, bouncy noodles, little mustard greens, bok choy and broth with a tiny kick. For appetizers has the popcorn chicken with real pieces of chicken and not just batter. I love the crispy basil pieces in it. Fish cakes was good too which is like a salty tasting mochi-like appetizer. Lu Wei was also good with marinated seaweed, boiled egg and braised tofu. Yummy! And of course I paired it with a Jasmine green milk tea with boba and also got a chocolate boba. They started to get busy to a cozy spot. Service was good. They should put some tables outside to accommodate more in dining seating. Overall delicious and would come back!

They've only been open for 5 months and having intelligently kept the menu tight so they can execute every item well. On this visit, we were welcomed with a warm hello! We decided to order the popcorn chicken with Thai basil, Gua Bao (now called Bao Buns on the or newest menu), spicy wontons, and green milk tea w/boba. While we were waiting, a group of Taiwanese customers entered the cafe and their conversation instantly warmed my heart. To hear Taiwanese mandarin like this was not something I had expected when I moved from SoCal to Phoenix 18 years ago. Onto the food: perfect popcorn chicken with DARK meat! Well seasoned, and not overly battered. The Gua Baos were the STARS of this visit. Soft and warm steamed bread encased perfectly braised thick pork belly slices. The addition of pickled veggies and sugared peanut powder told me the owners are DEFINITELY Taiwanese. Every bite was perfectly balanced with salty, sweety, umami flavors. The spicy wontons were good as well, although the skins seemed a little thicker than I am used to. The sauce was garlicky deliciousness. Their green milk tea was flavorful and perfect at 50% sweet, with light ice. The boba was on the larger side and probably had been sitting for a while, as they weren't as chewy they should be. Next time, will try their custard pudding add-on! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon a gathering place for Taiwanese nationals in Phoenix! So grateful for Owl Owl's presence and I hope they continue to expand their menu and keep their standards high. Looking forward to our next visit, where we'll try their heartier fare, like the bowls and beef noodle soup!

A few people were dining in when I stopped by and I was greeted by a friendly young employee. Initially, I was just going to get a drink but I perused the menu and decided to get an appetizer as a late lunch/dinner. I ordered their Goi Cuon Tom Thit Nuong - Grilled Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls (2): fresh vegetables, rice vermicelli, grilled pork & shrimp wrapped in rice paper & served with peanut sauce ($6). HOWEVER, since I do not eat pork, I asked if they could only include the shrimp and leave out the pork, and that wasn't a problem at all. Score! For my drink, I went with a classic black milk tea with boba, light ice. I asked about adjusting the sweetness level, and she said they could do more black tea than half & half, and I said that would be good. Price for the drink was $6.50 for a large, and I think the boba was included but otherwise it was $0.50. It didn't take long for my items to be ready and I was on my way. My rolls were packaged nicely and they even included hot sauce in addition to the peanut sauce that comes with. The rolls were delicious; they were a good size and tasted light and refreshing. I loved the peanut sauce and the hot sauce, the latter of which had a nice sour zing to it. My drink was good; it was on the sweeter side but the boba was cooked nicely. I did get some black tea leaves which I wasn't expecting, but at least I know they use real tea and nothing powdered. Great customer service and tasty food and drink items, I'd recommend this spot.
