Tastyyy The HotPot soup was so sweet & curry based. I forgot to take a picture. Service was sweet & smooth like the tea. The ambiance was nice, quant & a multi cultural dynamic which i can always appreciate & love.
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?
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 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.
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.

Good place to hang out with friends or family Service is above average. They are Nice and friendly.

Customer service was 3.5/5 stars to me. Their friendly but I don't know, just don't seem very helpful. Just brought food to our table and that's it. Which is fine but then what's the point in customer service reviews then right? LOL. And they were kind of slow bringing out each of our orders. (4 hot pots) Food was 2.5/5 stars. I think it really needs a lot of work still in taste. A lot of items in one hot pot but no flavor. I wish the meat was uncooked also when they bring it out because our meat would be over cooked by the time we get to it. Not to mention waiting for our friends orders meaning that food will be soggy and overcooked also. We also got the takoyaki. It was either undercooked and cold meaning they had to fry it longer or it was the batter issue. Not to mention the price was expensive compared to tasty pot and boiling point. In comparison to those places then yes, price and taste is better there. Slightly disappointed in the food but I hope they improve soon! read more

I stumbled upon this place a couple of months ago. Close to home and comparable to tasty pot. My brother likes boiling point the best but I have yet to try. I usually get the #11 with the Taiwanese spicy soup. My mom likes this place because they have stinky tofu (fried/with soup). The waitress that works there is really nice and attentive. Big portion except for the rice and vermicelli noodles. I never had to wait for a table and the price isn't too bad. read more

I've been watching and waiting for this new restaurant to open, and I was not disappointed! Tried the "Stinky Tofu" Hot Pot, (it's NOT stinky, but the fermented tofu does have an organic flavor like an aged cheese). There were a lot of different ingredients with a wide variety of flavors. The broth was flavorful also. Got the "Big Pot" at $20 and there was plenty to split between myself and my wife. There are lots of other Hot Pot options, so you should easily find one that fits your style. The location is great, central Park Street, and there is no similar restaurant nearby, definitely worth a try. read more

A must try! My bf and I went in on a whim on Sunday for lunch. The employees were nice and welcoming. The food was great. The atmosphere was warming. I got the Tom yum pot with a side of noodles, the broth was a great combination of sweet and sour. My bf got the Taiwanese pot, which was very reminiscent of my childhood flavors in a soup. The popcorn chicken was fried just right. The biggest surprise was the pig ears. It was delicious, although I wish the pieces were cut a bit smaller. One thing I would say that needed some improvement would be the ordering process. Although we went through it just fine, while observing other customers I noticed that they were waiting quite a bit of time to put in their order. We saw a scan code on the table that said "scan to order" but I don't think some of the other customers really paid attention. I think it'd be nice to let ppl know as they are coming in and being seated that they can order through their phones, or if they'd prefer someone to take their order. They're still in their soft opening stage so I think there's still a learning curve. Be patient. :) Other than that, 5stars all around. read more

One of the best stinky tofu in the area. The quality of other snacks and Taiwan dishes are good too. I love that they let us change the soup base of the hot pot. This is a must try restaurant in Alameda. read more

Stopped by during their soft opening on a Thursday night for dinner. Food: My table ordered two pots and a takoyaki appetizer. I got a taiwanese spicy hotpot for myself while my friend got the stinky tofu hotpot. For the Taiwanese spicy hotpot, it did not match what was shown on their menu. The beef was well done by the time it was served to me and there was missing narutomaki(red/white fishcake) and enoki mushrooms. I got very spicy, but there was a lack of heat to it compared to other locations. For the stinky tofu hotpot, my friend had said that the stinky tofu had melted into the broth when it was served to him. Both pots were probably sitting out before being served to us. They had (re)lit the flames in front of us when they had served it. The takoyaki was a decent price. You get 7 for about $8. Service/Pricing: For placing orders, you can speak with the staff or scan the QR MealKeyway (Point of Sale similar to Toast) code on a phone to place an order. Pricing for the pots range from Small($16.99), Big($19.99), and Chengdu pot($22.99). If you go during lunch, it cost $1 less per pot. Pricing for appetizers averaged around between $7-11. Pricing for teas was between $5-7 Since it was during the soft opening, it did take about 20 minutes to get the food to us. Some tables that came later were able to get food faster than us. Ambiance: If you have been to different mini hotpot restaurant in the past, the ambiance is what you expect. A bunch of tables and some booth seatings, signs for desserts, and led signage of the store name/logo. They have a little wall decal you can take photo if right when you enter the store. Other than that, it's what you usually see at a (Tasty/Boiling/Sizzle/Phrase) (Pot/Point/Spot). Overall: The experience could've been better. I get that it's their soft opening, so I'll give them see leeway. The price for the food was expensive considering other places usually provide iced tea at the same price. I'd give them another try once they have stabilized or prices improved. read more

I think this place is really delicious. I always get the porcini hot pot and add extra vermicelli noodles. It tastes delicious and hits that hot pot taste craving without going to an ayce place. Always great, friendly, and attentive service every time I've been. It's is nice and lots of seating inside. Parking can be very horrible as it is right off of park street, but you may be able to get lucky depending on time you go. read more

New place in Alameda with variety of food including hot pots, ramen, appetizers, desserts and drinks. Service was good, very friendly and consistent refill of water. The waitress was very thoughtful and waited to bring our durian pudding after she saw we were finishing our food. Definitely recommend the black garlic ramen, it was more flavorful when compared to Tonkatsu ramen. The fried dumplings were crisp and delicious. The sauce that came with the dumplings has a little kick. There is garlic soy sauce on the table which went really well with the dumplings. Durian pudding was creamy and smooth. Would come back again to try other menu items. read more
