Tasty Point has rebranded so they have menu with more variety, and the hot pot is not their specialty anymore but still on the menu. Everything is still delicious! The egg rolls were on the house. Crispy and good. I will always come back!
I've been wanting to try their hot pot for awhile. They have a good selection of hot pots, appetizers and desserts. My family got the Golden Spicy Soup Beef and the Herbal Hot Pot. I normally get hot pots with beef but I ordered the Coconut Cream Curry because I wanted to try the curry base and I enjoy pork slices as well. The hot pots were delicious! Although I felt like my pot was mainly cabbage packed on the bottom. The soup bases and the ingredients were pretty good. We also ordered the Super French Fries. The long fries were so fun to eat. We got the cheese, ketchup and wasabi seaweed on the side. We dipped the fries in all 3 condiments and loved it! Currently, they have a buy 2 hot pot get 1 free Monday-Friday, so I will be coming back for that!
I came here for a late lunch recently. The food took a while to come prepare and come out even though it wasn't that busy. I could tell the ingredients were fresh and the portions were generous. I didn't like the broth that much, I couldn't put my finger on what it tasted like but it was interesting. This was a decent place to dine at, I would come back occasionally but this wouldn't be on my usual rotation when I'm craving hot pot.
Tasty Point has been spot on with everything I've ordered or my friends have ordered there so far. The first time I went, I got the hot pot which was so much food that it became the next day's lunch. The side of vermicelli that came with it tipped me over the food edge but it was so good and piping hot at all times! The next time I went was for dessert. My friend and I ordered their creme brûlée and now it is my go to dessert on Park Street. That sugar crunch...makes me crave one right now. The owner convinced me to try the coconut pudding the next time I was there which I did. He told me it's one person's job to make it so it may not always be available if they sell out. If you love coconut, this is a must try. They make smooth coconut pudding and put it back in the coconut and top it with fried coconut flakes. Do you get the flakes, the pudding and can spoon out some fresh coconut from the sides and lid of the coconut. So delicious and unique! The next time my friend picked me up from the airport, we had time to make it back to Tasty Point. We both decided to try the ramen since it would be less food than the hot pot. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu and it was delicious. So don't just go for hot pot, go for the ramen too! The restaurant is always clean and spacious. Cold water is always brought once you sit down. The only one negative I can think of is when they're cleaning tables and they use the spray bottle that smells like bleach (but it goes away quickly thankfully). The two bathrooms are clean. Street parking but it's pretty easy to find in that area.
Cute little spot in Alameda. Street parking, all metered. Can be hit or miss, also could prob park a little further down for free parking if wanted. Friendly service and big menu which was fun. They did not have beef skewers sadly so we tried the lamb. It had good seasoning and crispy but little gamey for my taste. The noodles were decent. The chicken was good! The tofu pudding wasn't too sweet but didn't have the ginger sauce I love. But still good nonetheless! They had a real big selection of drinks- I'll be back to try their other items~
Grabbed dinner here on the recommendation of a friend on a Thursday night. The name caught my eye because it sounds like they basically blended together Tasty Pot and Boiling Point to create a name. We ordered 4 items between the three of us: fries, lamb skewers, and 2 pots. I personally opted for the Chengdu hot pot which was customizable. The portions and pricing are pretty standard, but some of their pots come in a larger size that I thought was a pretty good deal and could definitely feed two people. If I hadn't had Tasty Pot (my favorite for individual hotpot) before coming here I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more, but it was just okay in comparison and I probably wouldn't return. The broth wasn't as flavorful nor as spicy as I'd like and I was underwhelmed by the other toppings and sauces. My friends seemed to enjoy the lamb skewers. We all liked the fries, they were crispy and the batter was light. Fries were served with cheese and ketchup, and tasted like potato chips. I was so amused by how long they were compared to typical fries! Service was on point, friendly and attentive. My experience wasn't bad by any means, quality was good, but there are just better options out there for hotpot. Stars mainly for the service and the fact that others I dined with seemed to really like it! I think I just prefer a broth that packs more of a punch. Giving this 3 stars because Yelp doesn't have half stars, but it was more of like a rounded up 2.5 for me.
Tried Tasty Point in Alameda and went with the large Taiwanese spicy hot pot. The broth had good spice, the toppings were plentiful, and the sauce selection made it easy to mix things up. Service was really nice, and the spot itself felt modern and well lit--great atmosphere without being too flashy. Overall, a solid hot pot experience that ranks right up there with others in the area.
I'm so happy there's an individual hot pot place in the east bay that's delicious! My favorite hotpot flavors are the laksa and the spicy lamb, I forgot the names! But you'll find it on the menu. The hotpots are super flavorful and packed with ingredients! The girls who work here are also super nice and helpful! The restaurant is also super roomy and comfortable, bathrooms are super clean and parking is easy! I love that they're doing a weekday promotion Monday to Friday buy 2 get 1 free hotpot! My family and I LOVE this spot! I hope the promotion stays for a long time :)
The food was definitely tasty, I ordered a beef pot, I think it was the Porcini hot pot, but I can't remember exactly. The service was very prompt and the waiters were very smart and made the drinks in to go cups, so we can just carry it when we leave. It was relatively tame when we arrived as it was late, but the food hits and it's tasty with the variety of ingredients. It's similar to Tasty Pot.
It was our neighbors get-together and we decided to check out Tasty Point for hotpots. Located off Park St on Santa Clara, we were able to find street parking down the block. The restaurant is bright, clean and modern and the waitress welcomed and directed us to our table of six which we had reserved. Their specialty is Hot Pot as there are 12 different choices that come in three sizes, though a couple come in large or big sizes only. For those not wanting hot pot, they also have rice and noodle, ramen and spaghetti choices. There's also appetizers, desserts and tea, yogurt and fruit drinks. For appetizer, we got the deep fried stinky tofu, since some of us never tried it. Having tried in Taiwan, these did not have a strong and pungent aroma. They were crispy and came with a side of pickled vegetables. I ordered the Porcini Hot Pot which came in a large size. It came with sliced beef, beef ball, imitation crab, fried tempura, pork fish ball, soft tofu, fried tofu skin, shitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, daikon, maitake mushrooms, a wedge of corn, and Napa cabbage. The beefy broth had good flavor and there was a lot of ingredients in this bowl. Thought there was just a little too much slice Napa cabbage in it. I had a taste of the Taiwanese Braised Pork Chop Noodle dish which was served in a skillet dish. The pork chop was tender and had a nice crisp and there was a mince braised pork over the noodles as well. Thought this was tasty. Other dishes my neighbors had were the Tomato Hot Pot, Vine Pepper Hot Pot, the Chengdu Hot Pot and Tonkatsu Ramen. They enjoyed their dishes and the two who had the hot pots also commented that there was too much Napa cabbage. Our waitress was friendly from answering our menu questions through service. I've had better, but Tasty Point is a good hot pot choice in Alameda and also they have options for non-hot pot eaters.
I've come here several times because it's one of the closer hot pot places in Alameda/Oakland area. The service is usually perfectly fine but there are very very few times where they are a bit slow/miss things (but no biggie). I usually get a personal hot pot here, but I've noticed they added other things to the menu such as ramen and a lot of new appetizers. I'm pretty satisfied every time I come here, since I have a hotpot addiction and this spot hits the spot. The portions are a bit smaller than Tasty Pot and Boiling Point (other hot pot places similar to Tasty Point) Parking/location: There is metered street parking that isn't too hard to find. It is located on a side street next to Park St in Alameda. Overall every time I come here I know what quality, portions, and prices to expect and I'm always leaving satisfied. :)
This is my second time here. The first time I would've given a 3/5, but I feel like this place has definitely improved! The soup is much tastier than last time. Their menu is HUGE and they have a wide variety. They have many other things other than hot pot, which I'd be willing to try next time. I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot and it was HUGE. There was plenty of food inside. There was even a whole ramen in there and plenty of beef slices. The broth doesn't taste like your usual Taiwanese spicy pot, but I actually like it! It's cleaner and less oily, which is to my liking. My bf got the Coconut Curry Hot Pot and it was quite delicious! I was worried it would be too coconut-y but thankfully it was just the right amount. I think for those who like curry hot pots but don't want the coconut, you can easily tell them to remove it bc they literally just put coconut milk over it. Overall it was pretty good. My bf usually gets the curry pot at Tasty Pot (which is his fave) and he said this one was actually a little better bc, again, it was less oily and had a lot of food inside. Service was great--food came out fast. The server frequently refreshed water. Plenty of seating indoors and pretty spacious.
First time. Tried the vegan tomato hot pot which comes bubbling red to your table so it looks like the hottest one but it's mild. kids/spice-averse could eat it. Maybe don't go with rambunctious kids/people because each person having their individual volcano is a lot. Besides choosing the soup/contents, you can add stuff but maybe don't because I was stuffed and only finished about half. You can choose between noodles or rice (try noodle next time if split hotpot with someone else). Def try the various chili sauces. Also, split 4-ways a coconut pudding that comes in a green coconut (can confirm you can scrape the green coconut pieces). That was also delish. Not fancy but seemed pretty clean. Eclectic decor but since the bubbling pots on fire is the real entertainment, who's really looking? read more
Ok for what it is. Friendly but somewhat slow service and just ok food. Nothing stood out, but I enjoyed my meal. It's closer than Tasty Pot and they do offer deals for buy 3 get 1 (not sure about now, but when I went they had it). It's work coming back to. read more
I think my boyfriend and I are here literally every other week lol We love the Buy Two Get One Hot Pot specials on the weekdays! I keep saying that I need to try something other than the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot (never spicy enough) or the Golden Spicy Soup Beef Hot Pot (also never spicy enough) but I never do. Friends also like the Korean Army Hot Pot. There are three sauces on each table that you can add to your hot pot or on the side as a dipping sauce. The amount of ingredients aren't always consistent but you'll be full either way. The real protip is to ask for a bowl so you can pull out the ramen so it doesn't overcook! Each pot heater has a little metal tab so you can flip it over lit sterno and turn off the heat yourself (or else it burns forever and you'll never get to eat comfortably lol). Service is fast and friendly! The mango pomelo sago drink is SO GOOD and I really like the wintermelon grass jelly drink as well. Definitely take advantage of the B2G1 deal while you can! It works for to-go orders as well. read more

After a morning at Alameda Beach, we were looking for a last minute lunch that would satisfy some picky toddlers, and after encountering a long wait at a nearby brunch spot, we happened to park right in front of Tasty Point. We saw noodles and no wait, and thought this was perfect. They weren't too busy around 1:15pm on a Saturday afternoon. Total about $70 (including tax/tip) for a light lunch for 2 adults and 4 young kids. Y05 Peach Yoghurt ($6.75) - 3.5 stars. VERY sweet. Very viscous. 4 kids and 1 adult shared this, we each just had a little. AP08 New Orleans Chicken Wings (12 for $10.95) - 4 stars. Tender and flavorful, and kids liked it. AP18 Edamame ($4.95) - 3.5 stars. Good! RA01 Tonkatsu Ramen ($14.95) - 4 stars. We asked for plain ramen and broth, no toppings, so they gave us a double serving of noodles, which was perfect to be shared between 4 young kids. RA05 Black Garlic Oil Ramen ($15.95) - 4 stars. Lovely intense broth flavor. Soft egg yolk and tender meat. read more
Tasty Point offers a wide assortment of Chinese and South East Asian-inspired individual hot pots with various ingredients. First, however, we started with an appetizer of BBQ Lamb Skewers, made of chewy, smoky pieces of lamb grilled on a metal skewer and seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns and chilies. My choice from the menu was the Singapore Laksa Hot Pot, which featured a mild coconut curry broth along with assorted seafood and vegetables including Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, Squid, Calamari, Fish Ball, Imitation Crab Stick, Kamaboko, Fried Bean Curd, Sweet Corn, Quail Egg, Squid Ball, Potato, Napa Cabbage, and a side of vermicelli bean thread noodles. Everything in the pot was fresh and delicious, and the lightly spiced broth brought all the ingredients together! The restaurant has an extensive Asian drink menu as well, and the Mango Pomelo Sago was the perfect sweet, fruity, cooling treat to go with the hot pots. read more

I didn't realize that they used Sichuan peppercorns instead of a spicy oil to make the hotpot spicy so when I ordered the lamb hotpot I was really disappointed. They did have some chilli sauce on the table, but it just didn't taste the same. The broth tasted pretty bland to me and it didn't really hit the hotpot craving for me. They also don't offer additional soup or at least our server didn't come around to offer us more. They mostly have "large" sizes for their hotpot, so if you plan on coming here, be sure to be hungry otherwise you probably won't be able to finish. I came super hungry, but ended up not even finishing my food. The large hotpot costs about $20-$21. The waitress also never came around to collect our bill, so I just walked up to the front to pay. She was apologetic, but I don't think I'll be back due to the food. read more

Really solid spot especially if you don't want to drive out to tasty pot. The service has been consistent, the Taiwanese Hotpot is a great portion, and the young coconut pudding has me coming back. Def worth a visit! read more
I was excited to see a spot like this similar to boiling point and tasty pot in the area (since they're all pretty far). They offer a large variety of dishes (hot pot, ramen, rice, skewers, appetizers, dessert, drinks). I wanted to see how the individual hot pot compared to other spots, so I tried the porcini. I chose vermicelli as my carb base (over the rice). Pots seem to be a bit bigger in size so it doesn't look full when it's brought out. There's no spicy option for this pot, so I just added the chili oil that's found on the table side. I wasn't a fan of the soup, pretty bland. It's just okay, may need to give another pot a try. I was intrigued by the super French fries. There's two seasoning options, cheese and wasabi seaweed. Tried the wasabi seasoning, good flavor to the fries but the fries tasted too fried. I was hoping there would still be the soft potato filling when you bite into it. I still kept eating it though - fun appetizer! Workers were friendly. Spacious spot with many table seatings available. Convenient spot to dine in for anyone walking around park street area. read more

The hotpot is so-so. The Porchini hotpot says big size so my friend and I decided to share but when we got it, portion was average for one person. Other than the portion it came with lots of napa cabbage , 2 tofus, 4 sliced pork, 3 meatballs and 1 of everything else that comes with it. The broth was ok, not too flavorful but not fatty/beefy. The fries were yummy ofc, love to eat entertaining food. They were fun to eat! The skewers were sooo chewy, although the flavors were spicy and smoky- too chewy for us. Interior & service is so nice! loved our waiter plus the interior. Very clean and elegant. read more

Have had their hot pot multiple times now and what I can say is that it is very consistent. The flavor, the quality of the produce and meat, down to their service. You must not compare this hot pot location to places like haidilao and such as they are not the same, evident by the type of hot pot served and the price. The ambiance depends on how full the restaurant is. We've tended to go during early dinner which is on the quieter side but when we've gone during regular dinner time especially during weekend, it can be a little louder when it's full. read more

I've dined in 3 times so far and this recent time I came with a group of 7! Super friendly and the food came out quickly. If you love stinky tofu, get this hotpot and the fried stinky tofu. At the end of the meal, they give you a scratch card for some goodies! Huge menu of hotpot, dessert, and boba. Clean interior and the perfect spot to catch up with friends and family read more

The food was not the best for my taste. The service was excelente, the owner of the restaurant is very charismatic and made sure we got all the food in a timely manner. The restaurant is small and has a Nice ambiance. It was my first experience with hot pot and they have a lot of sea food base and pork on the menu and I do not eat either, so not a place I'll be returning to but my dinner companions seem to have enjoyed it. read more
Decisions decisions decisions... They have 11 different options with varying overlaps. I'd say there's something for everyone. We noticed they included a lot of cabbage as filler. The amount of meat did not make up for that. Overall, I'd say the place is clean, staff were nice, and the food came out quick. They told us about their ongoing promo - I won $1 off next visit or something . read more

Food was delicious , staff was very nice. Chicken cutlet was juicy and crunchy, and ramen broth was very flavorful ! The three sauces (BBQ, Garlic & chili oil) all went very well with the chicken. I am surprised this place does not have 5/5 stars. This place will be one of my Go-To's for ramen ! read more
Having recently moved here from Fremont, my husband and I were craving hotpot and tried out Tasty Point. First off, parking isn't too challenging - there's street parking and a small lot behind the bank for 2 hours, metered. At 6pm, the restaurant was a little empty but it was a Tuesday evening. Service is great and attentive, and the menu has a large variety: hotpot, rice meals, ramen, and even fruit teas. So there could be different options if someone in your party is not feeling for hotpot. We ordered the #4 Herbal lamb pot to share, with an extra side of udon and lamb. Within 10 minutes the pot came out. Like other reviews have mentioned, the portions are not big, and there was plentiful of cabbage as filler. The broth was not flavorful and a little watery, but I'm assuming since it's the herbal broth it may be less flavorful than other pots. Total came out to $30 before tip. For some reason, their card reader was not working - we tried 2 different cards and both came out as "card not found" which is bizarre as they worked just fine an hour later at a boba place down the street. Thus, we had to pay in cash, but hoping next time the card reader issue is resolved. Additionally, they have a promotion going on right now where for every $20 you spend, you get a cute scratch card that may give you free items. Mine got me a Blind Box which had a plushi inside. It wasn't impressive but we'll come again to try out the other pots. read more
This was my second visit to Tasty Point, and I must say that it's definitely improved since my first time visiting. To be fair, my first visit here was around their grand opening so they were still getting the hang of things. Back then, the service was somewhat slow and the hot pot didn't impress me too much. However, this time around, I came here for lunch with my friends after playing spikeball on a chilly day- the perfect weather for hot pot. I ordered the Coconut Cream Curry Hot Pot and our table also shared the Super French Fries. The hot pot was hearty and had a subtle curry flavor, but not super strong. I appreciated how clean and light the broth was. My favorite toppings were the fried fish ball, pork fish ball, and sweet corn, although I found the pork a bit too fatty for my taste. After eyeing the pumpkin in my boyfriend's Golden Spicy Soup Beef Hot Pot, he let me steal a few bites of his soup, and it was delicious-his broth might have been my favorite. Both hot pots were excellent though. I would probably pass next time on the Super French Fries. My friends were intrigued by them, but we were disappointed to find that they mainly tasted like fried oil without much potato. One of my friends dipped it in his soup, and it surprisingly made them more enjoyable or at least you could taste more potato in the fry. Overall, the fries were the only disappointment with the food. When I explored the menu, the other hot pots looked delicious and it actually made it difficult for me to just choose one. The pricing is comparable to other individual hot pot places like Tasty Pot and Boiling Point. If the cold weather calls for it, I will be back to try their desserts and explore more of their hot pot options. read more

Lmaoooo do not go here...this was the calamari for $10 by the way it had like 6 pieces. I thought it was a joke. I wanted to return it but no one ever came to check on us. We had to go to the front to pay and ask for things. Terrible service! Probably the worst hotpot place I've ever had, don't even bother wasting your money guys. read more
Such a cute new restaurant in Alameda! I love how fun and modern everything looks. I think this business has a lot of potential but I'm giving it three stars for now. Because it's a new restaurant I think they have a few kinks to sort out. Champagne milk tea: 3/5 Tastes more like coffee milk tea. I drank this around 8:00pm and I could not sleep! Beware of the caffeine Coconut Curry Hot Pot: 5/5 Yummy! Tastes just like the curry hot pot at tasty pot, my fave. Tonkotsu Ramen: 2/5 Noodles were not cooked all the way. Broth was a little bland. Tom Yum Hot Pot: 4/5 Pretty good. Lots of toppings. Beef Pot Hot: 1/5 Very bland. Tasted like cabbage broth. Not enough toppings. I appreciate their service because the Ramen hot pot did not have a fire but because I let the server know the noodles were not cooked all the way she turned on the fire to allow the noodles to cook more. I also asked for Tom yum paste to add to the beef hot pot and they were very accommodating. It made the bland soup way more flavorful. I'd definitely be back to try other things on their menu and hopefully next time I can give them 5 stars! read more

Tasty Point is kind of like the Taiwanese hotpot chain Tasty Pot. The menu features a selection of specialty hotpots, Taiwanese street food eats like stinky tofu, popcorn chicken, fried calamari, etc, boba/fruit teas, and desserts like tofu puddings. It's a fun place for groups as the foods are conducive to sharing. That's not to say solo diners can't enjoy the hotpots, as they can be ordered in different sizes. Parking is along the street. The interior is modern and cozy, with large photos of their specialty hotpots on the wall. Our group of 5 shared a large Korean Army Hotpot, a few appetizers like stinky tofu, fried king oyster mushrooms, curry fishballs, and a Taiwanese sausage and braised pork rice bowl. While the foods were tasty, the portions were all a bit small. The large hotpot was not large nor deep. It serves more like 2 instead of 4. That's the reason we ordered the rice bowl as an addition. The boba drinks were very good and we really enjoy the tofu pudding in a real coconut. Service was a bit lacking as our server only checked on us once the entire time, and they didn't bother to provide us with sharing plates and bowls even though they know we were dining family style. What was nice was that they gave us a few scratchers along with our bill, and we found that we won a free drink, a blind box(surprise gift), and a $1 coupon toward future purchase. Tasty Point better up their game if they want to compete with Tasty Pot. read more
