This rating is for the apps only - we did not do the hot pot. The appetizers were, eh? Half good & half not. The fried stinky tofu app was good. Fried baby octopus was also good. The 12 piece wings were 6 wingettes cut in half. Very misleading and lots of pointy bones if you're not careful can cut your mouth. The superfries are basically long pieces of fried mash potatoes... or it felt that way. It kept breaking if you tried to hold it from just one end. It's not worth 7.95. Chicken thigh and chicken gizzard skewer were both overcooked and tough. The small intestine was cooked perfectly. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars for the apps. Service was okay. It felt like they didn't want us in there since we just ordered apps, but that's just how we felt... not anything they said... They did have limited seating, and we took up 5 seats, but that was when they weren't busy yet. It did start to pick up as we were almost done.
There was no service provided, yet they charged 18% directly. This was done without my knowledge. Such behavior is prone to causing misunderstandings. I will not be returning as the food was below par and I had to leave a tip again.
Oh dear, this was a big miss for me. The Taiwanese hot pot here is nothing like Boiling Point or Tasty Pot in California. The broth is mala (Szechuan-style), which I really dislike. I'm especially disappointed because it's nothing like the Taiwanese hot pot I'm used to. On a positive note, they offer plenty of add-ins and meat, and the service was great. Maybe it's worth trying a different soup base next time.
Plenty of choices for you to choose from, hot pot, ramen, skewers, etc. We opted for hot pot, choosing the tomato hot pot and coconut curry hot pot. Both were good but on the salty side. The tomato had a rich tomato flavor with fish filets and plenty of vegetables. This is good for vegetarians. The coconut curry hot pot was a rich creamy flavor due to the coconut cream. We went around 7 on a Wednesday night thinking it would be busy but we were the first ones in there. They weren't ideally busy at all which was surprising. 2 staff were working and were very quick to respond when we needed something. This is a good hang out spot with friends or to take a date. Music was playing in the background and tvs playing cooking shows. Overall, great place to go if you are craving hot pot. They allay have teas as well.
Tasty Point has been a staple for friends meet-up when we were not in the mood to go full-blown hot pot. They serve individual pre-assembled "hot-pot" brought to table, which can be shared, and other items, including appetizer, skewers, and boba. They had moved from the Welcome plaza to Dun Huang plaza, so I went to the new location recently! Personally, I never really liked their boba drinks, so I won't comment on it. My friend and I shared the Porcini hot pot, which was generic and a good option if you don't feel adventurous. I personally favor the Taiwanese Hot Pot more, has a little bit of a kick and also comes with stinky tofu! For skewers, we had the Lamb - which was pretty good, and the large intestine - which was a delight as well. They have several appetizers, the chicken popcorn is always good & decent in size. I used to like their mixed tripe appetizer as well, but the past few times I had it, it tasted sour/weird like the food has been out for long or about to be spoiled. Tl;dr: If you crave for some soupy thing but not full-blown Hot Pot, Tasty Point is a good option. While there, try some skewers & appetizers as well!
We walked in this place off the street without any prior knowledge, no expectations. We were simply hungry. We were also pleasantly surprised. To start they have quite the menu options. We were vegan and non-vegan and everyone could eat. There were so many excellent new dishes that we never tried to choose from. The wait staff was charming, the kitchen fast. We were the only customers inside but the food take out traffic was steady. The decor is very nice with smoke seating and parking is available. We really enjoyed ourselves.
I was craving for Taiwanese/Chinese snacks and hot pot so I came specifically for those. They have a lot of options! However, the appetizer portions are so small, so I would say they are on the overpriced end. We ordered the spicy beef tendon, spicy bean curd, and spicy stinky tofu, but none of that was really spicy or mala, which is very different than the Szechuan taste I was expecting. The bean curd was good though, flavor just right and not too oily. The sweet and spicy wings are delicious, my bf and I love it the most, but so be expecting for the small sized wing (they cut the wing in half, so on the menu says 12 wing but you are only getting around 6 whole wings). Tried the Laksa hot pot because I was curious and want something new. I would give it a 8/10 because the creamy taste was good with subtle curry flavor. But not spicy as they stated, again. It's a spice friendly pot for everyone I would say. Also the size is good to share between two people. Place looks very bright and trendy, it does gets busy at night but definitely a good space to grab a quick dinner with friends and family. Nice vibe and service was fast and friendly.
This is my updated review since Tasty Point 鼎點 moved to Dun Huang Plaza. It is now located where Shabu House used to be in Building C. The closest entrance is on Corporate Drive. The menu is updated, less confusions from the inflation up charge on the old menu and more clarity on what they serve. Lunch has the best value as it comes with tea and $1 cheaper than dinner. The place filled up pretty quick on a weekday afternoon. Didn't seem like the move made any difference. I ordered the first item on the menu - Taiwanese Stinky Tofu Hot Pot 台式臭臭锅 with Braised Pork Rice. The iced tea was kind of sweet for me. It came with a takeout cup, like the old location. It's was convenient to carry out. It took about 15 minutes to get my dish. I asked not to lit up the flame because I was in a hurry. The food was hot enough. This dish has everything about Taiwanese street food but not stinky. I was able to finish in 25 minutes while taking few pictures to document my experience. In comparison to the old location, I like this new location because of space. The interior is much bigger and tables are aligned logically. I think I'll visit often during lunchtime.
I came here with my friends recently for the first time! Nice foody vibe with good decorations in the restaurant! There were no vegetarian options on the menu yet the chef made us a vegetarian dish with tomato based soup and it was very delicious! They should definitely make some veggie options so many vegetarian vegan people can come! Personally, I enjoyed a lot yet the only con from the experience was a bit of unfriendliness of a worker. He seemed to be a quick worker but his attitude was obviously not pleasant. Knowing it can be tiring but still important to serve customers with good attitudes as a server. Hope to see a few improvements when I go back sometimes in the future :) But the food was delicious Keep up the good work! Cheers
Their hotpot is toned down. There's more veggies now. Sucks. I will never good back. Although the service and ambiance are still good
Visited again the other day at the new location in Dun Huang Plaza. The Korean Army Pot tastes worse now compared to the old location, the flavors feel a lot weaker and it's not spicy at all. Also my Taiwanese friend said the Stinky tofu pot was not stinky at all--so not much flavor and not very authentic. Really sad by the drop in quality yet increase in price after moving to the new location.
This place is great if you're craving hot pot but don't want to do AYCE. This spot combines the joy of personal hot pot with an refreshed atmosphere. They used to be located in the honey pig plaza and a bit smaller. It's a perfect choice for those seeking something warm in the cold weather. The options are diverse, ranging from comforting classics to lighter alternatives. I usually go for the Korean army stew or the Taiwanese spicy hot pot. You also get to choose a side. I get the braised pork rice each time; it's so addicting! Whether you're a hot pot enthusiast or just looking for a novel dining experience on a cold day, tasty point is right up your alley.
I have been on a hot pot kick so decided to try out Tasty Point per recs from friends. The interior had cute decor but was much smaller than I expected, so it might be a tight squeeze during lunch/dinner time. We ordered French fries as an appetizer and the spicy beef hot pot that was filled with really tender beef, fish balls, tofu, mushrooms, vermicelli, bean curd and veggies. I loved the soup base as it was light but still packed with flavor. The fries were crispy and an unique twist but did not impress me as it had a strong oily taste. They also have a wide range of desserts and drinks that I would love to try next time!
I have had my moments where I crave some soup and especially hotpot. But one issue is most places are family portions or all you can eat. But one place goes against it: Tasty Point. I was looking for an individual hotpot and I have been craving Budae Jjigae (Korean army base stew) I was accustomed to the previous location about 2-3 lights down from the current location. Portion of the individual hotpot is more than enough. Hot but has a nice spice to it. Very flavorful and there are other options as well plus ramen. Also the individual hot pot came with a side dish and I went with the Taiwanese minced rice. The servers are nice and knowledgeable of the menu. But also I appreciate their patience because we did wait for another person and were nice to wipe down another table so we can be more comfortable. Not too often I go to Tasty Point but I do enjoy the variety on the menu. Ramen is available and so are rice dishes. Appetizers are plenty as well. The skewers are huge and the fries are long, seriously. It has a bit of everything and the seating is much more than the previous location read more

My fiancé and I have been coming to this I've been coming to Tasty Point for years, back when they were at their old location, and I'm so happy they're still around! Their Tonkotsu Ramen is hands down my favorite--it's rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The service is always quick, and the staff is super kind, which makes every visit even better. I also really love the new decor, especially the touch of fresh flowers on the tables--it gives the place such a nice vibe. Definitely a great date spot, and while they have a variety of food options, I personally come just for the ramen... that's how good it is! read more

Came here with a friend for dinner. The last time I came to Tasty Point was at the old location in Welcome shopping center. Now they moved toward the Beltway 8. I order #10 Korean Army Hot Pot 4.5/5 stars. The hot pot is pretty big that you can share with another person if you not a big eater. I order the braised ground pork rice bowl 5/5 stars as the side order. This never disappoint me. This is one of the best braised ground pork rice. Definitely will come back and try other hot pot flavor. read more

I've never had a personal sized hot pot and it was so much fun!! It's way more food than I anticipated and they have delicious dipping sauces for your meats. The Taiwanese spicy hot pot had toppings that remind me of my childhood. Note: the Korean stew hot pot doesn't come with kimchi, even if it was listed. The staff didn't inform us of the lack of kimchi until we had to ask about it ourselves. And I thought they would offer us a substitute topping, but no, which I was disappointed by. I also wish that you would be able to substitute out certain toppings in the dishes, but they wouldn't let us and told us they would only put it on the side. It was pretty empty on a Saturday dinner time, but more people wandered in as we ate. read more

I don't like giving bad stars. I used to come here all the time. This trip had dead and wilting flower. Dirty tables galore- nobody cleaned them. Told us to sit , where at dirty tables ? Booths were pushed in funny positions. Lady / waitress is strange. Very quiet and won't help us. What else, lol. Asked for lines 4 times. And water 3 times. To get some. Sauces were all open and dirty. read more
This place has been bookmarked for quite some time as a must visit in Chinatown. While offering a wide menu covering more than just hotpot, their hotpot is the obvious star and focus of the show here. And while I have enjoyed hotpot as a communal dining experience, I had only just begun experiencing the individual hotpot trend. This is the first precooked individual hotpot place I have visited. I find this to be a great place to take beginners, as you don't need to instruct and monitor them and their cooking prowess. From soup base to delicious morsels, ingredients are precooked and preselected. I ordered the Tom Yum, and my dining partner ordered the Golden Spicy Beef. The Tom Yum is a great choice if you enjoy bold flavors and sour notes. The Golden Spicy was also tasty, but the flavors were much more subdued. This is something I imagine being well suited for children and grandma or for those desiring a milder flavor profile. Neither dish was very spicy despite the spicy label. Our waitress gave us the option of lighting the charcoal in the heating element on which the hotpot is served. I enjoy my hotpot remaining hot to the last bite, so I opted for it. However, I made sure to ask for a small bowl on the side to spoon out and cool small portions at a time for faster consumption and avoidance of burning mouth injuries. That's my protip for you. I'll have to return and try that stinky tofu some time. It's somewhat difficult to find and quite a delectable treat. Tasty Point does offer ramen and skewers besides hotpot, as well as an array of appetizers. I would probably pass on those unless you have a large group. The regular size hotpot is more than enough food, and it comes with a side of sauced ground pork and rice or noodles to boot. Worth a return visit for sure! read more
My friend and I came here one afternoon to chat and catch up, and the interior was vibrant and quite friendly! Coming in, the staff seemed a little hesitant and were not as open and welcoming as I am accustomed to (especially as someone who has worked these smaller, aesthetic chains), but did take our orders and were satisfactory at helping us with our needs. The food was good, portions were large and plentiful, and presentation was beautiful. The braised pork on top of the sauce was very tasty and we both enjoyed our food a ton! The fire our pots were on kept our food hot throughout our whole experience. I like the fact that two types of teas are offered and that it can come hot or cold. I also loved the fries and the little branded tofu hat has the logo on it. I thought those were a very nice touch. read more

For this price point it's honestly really hard to make any complaints about Tasty Point. It's very easy to find parking and the service is always quick and straight to the point. Although I wish the restaurant was a bit more clean/decorated, as in it does have a mom and pop restaurant feel nothing fancy, the food is great and the staff is very patient and friendly. If I wanted to get hotpot and didn't want to stay forever at an all you can eat establishment, you can definitely find me here. read more
This is such a cute hot pot place! It is a very simple in terms of hot pot experience as in all the meats and veggies are mostly in the option so you can choose to add more if you want. I love that everyone can have their own pot. We had the intestine skewer and shared a hot pot. it was definitely filling. I love all of the flavors and cannot wait to come back!! read more
I walked past this place and was curious about what they had to serve. They serving are really huge, and they serve it in this platform with fire underneath so it stays warm. Some great comfort food, for a OK price. I think you can expect maybe $15-$20 for a bowl here. The flavors are great, and they are quite generous with the toppings and meat. they have budae jjigae, kimchi stew, hot pot style options as well. Pretty decent joint with fast service, if you're really hungry and looking for something fast and delicious, this will hit the spot read more

Came here after hearing good things about it on social media, however it was an underwhelming experience. Food was a bit bland and service wasn't that great....we came on on a Thursday night and it was quite packed. Unfortunately won't be going back, there's way too many good food options in Houston! read more

A GREAT spot. On a Saturday for lunch the place was very busy yet the staff was extremely attentive. You order on your phone. Food was delivered to us within 10 minutes. The Tom Yum Shrimp hot pot fed 2 people with average appetites. (We did order extra noodles since it comes with only a small bowl of vermicelli). The soup came with 3 shrimps, 1 squid, clams, muscles, squid balls, corn, and more. The mild spicy still had a strong kick despite being the lowest level. The broth had great flavors. We will definitely come back to try more. If you check in you can pick from 3 different puddings for free (as of March 2023). read more

Pretty good snack and dessert menu. Son wanted dessert and I wanted a savory bite. The skewers were good. Got beef & lamb + creme brûlée that my son loved. He didn't like the sticky rice dessert but I did. He already had burgers and fries before coming so I ate all the yummy meat as my snack. read more

Is there any soups that contain nuts in their broth?
I'm not sure! I would call in and ask, but I feel like they shouldn't.
