Tasty Pot is delicious! We try to make our way here regularly. Pros: Most of the time it's delicious. 100% of the time service is excellent even when it's crazy busy, which is most of the time. Cons: Once in a blue moon the spice level is waaay off from what you asked for and smoke will come out of your ears. There is almost always a wait but worth the wait in my opinion. Try thr chrysanthemum tea!!! read more

Amazing customer service. There was a line building outside of the restaurant so one of the staff members gave us a menu and put in our order ahead of time so we wouldn't have to wait very long once we were seated. I ordered the lamb hot pot (very spicy) and a Hokkaido milk tea. I was happy with my order. Pros: -great service -good food -lively atmosphere Cons: -street parking or a parking garage read more

Don't drink the milk tea... First time at the Berkeley location and the food itself is around the same as the one in Newark. I came with 9 other friends here on a Friday night and all I can say is come early, this place fills up fast because there is not a lot of seating. We ordered 3 pots for 6 people, which is definitely plenty especially if you plan to get their free refills (pork broth?). 1. Seafood Fillet Hot Pot ($18.99) - What they mean by seafood is one crab leg and some clam shells. 2. Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot ($16.99) - The better of the 3. We opted for less spicy which turned out to be the perfect amount and the "sour" level was spot on. Pretty authentic if you ask me. 3. Lamb Hot Pot ($13.99) - You could really taste the gamey-ness of the entire dish which, for me, I liked. Broth overall is amazing. 4. Hokkaido Milk Tea ($4.50) - DON'T DRINK THIS. First of all it tastes extremely watered down and the "milk" or whatever it is seemed expired. All my friends who drank this got a stomach ache afterwards, so disgusting. I recommend coming here for lunch because it is the same amount of food for a lower price. Don't drink the milk tea :( read more

Tasty Pot - Lamb Hot Pot ($13.99) - Taiwanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

Quick Summary: - Lots of seats, more in the back - Plenty portions for a glutton - The presentation is cute and unique - Seconds for broth is free - Fast service (from ordering to requesting things) - Eating style is fast too - Spice levels are pack a punch, strong. (has low spice tolerance) - Japanese miso has the udon noodles I haven't eaten too many hot pot dishes, but I would like to place this in the top tier. It scored high points in my category: portions, taste, and service. I came into the restaurant at a 45% hunger, and I left with around 98% full! For those who eat light, I suggest to share the "larger" sized pot with someone else, or eat the smallest sized pot. I'm not exactly sure if customers are allowed to take home leftovers. I didn't see anyone around me do that either. The ordering style is to pick a pot, choose between rice or vermicelli noodles. I ordered the vermicelli noodles because I prefer to eat pot dishes without rice. Since it was our first time there, I struggled to pick which dish to eat, so it took me longer to decide. It was nice, however, that the staff came by three times to see if we have decided on what to eat. They were quick when we asked for a plate to put in the clam, crab, and shrimp shells, and for broth seconds. I ordered the Kimchi Dumpling hot pot with a mild spice level. My family members, who decided to share a pot, ordered the Japanese miso (none for the spice). I should've ordered none spice level too because of my low spice tolerance, but the spice factor was strong! I had one coughing sessions and near the end, when vegetables that wrap the spicy oil around, got me drinking water after every bite. I'm planning to come next time, so that part, I will remember to do. Both broths were delicious, and the dashi was cooked very well. I wonder if it was because of the many fish and mushrooms that were cooked in the pot, but I was still hungry, I would've drank the broth. If I were to choose, I loved the miso soup more because - I like miso soup. Each pot contained a lot of meat, fish, shrimp, clam, tofu, age, mushrooms, and vegetables. The meat was cut thinly, so it cooked very well and required almost no chewing. I enjoyed eating each topping, and I feel that's the fun part about pot dishes. I did notice that the pot was a unique experience and different from the previous pot dishes we've eaten. It used a raised stove where the staff lit a fire underneath it. Unlike the others, the fire gradually weakened and extinguished. The benefits of this were that 1. it extinguished around the time when I was almost done and 2. it doesn't constantly cook and raise the salt content. However, I am a slow eater, so the fire went out while there was still 6/8 left - but that also meant I was able to eat the food directly from the pot. I really really liked Tasty Pot, and if we ever come by Berkeley again on a cold chilly night, I would come back and try their other dishes. read more

Tasty Pot is currently the only hot pot restaurant in Berkeley and I eat here every 1-3 months, takeout during Covid, because I'm a hot pot fiend. Compared to other hot pot restaurants I've been to, the broth here isn't as savory and the meat isn't sliced as thinly and is usually full of tough cuts. I wish the meat were higher quality and the additional toppings were more affordable. The portions as-is are good but sometimes I'm in the mood for some fish ball with roe or tendon and I don't want to pay $4-5 for it when I can spend $13 to get a whole extra pot. It doesn't feel worthwhile to pay for additional toppings when they cost 30-40% of a whole order. During pre-covid dine-in service, you would always get a free iced tea with your lunch which was nice. The tea was delicious and I'm sad it's not included with takeout lunches. However, they give a free soda with any takeout orders purchased through UberEats which is very nice of them! The turnaround and service is always speedy too. Pre-covid there would always be lines out the door but once you sat down, your food arrived very quickly. Overall, I keep coming back because I love hot pot and the meals here satiate my occasional craving, but I don't know if I'd return if new hot pot restaurants opened in the area. read more

Always love going to Tasty Pot to grab a meal or two (since each meal is usually big enough for two people). But taking it to go vs dining in can be little bit different than other restaurants. When you dine in, you can have the pot heated at all times and keep the food warm right above the portable stove. Also, there are unlimited refills on the broth and dipping sauces while to-go don't have this perks. Yet they charge about the same price. Nevertheless, their food is bomb! Two thumbs up for me. My favorite dishes are the Taiwanese pot and the Beef pot. read more

Truc Tran's Recommendation: -The Lamb Hot Soup! For sharing with just you and you only. Great place in the downtown Berkeley area and a great stop near the Bart Station as well! The soup was just right with a good flavor profile, accompanied by simple favorites in any standard hot pot place such as fishcake, imitation crab, hella cabbage, & enoki. Accompanied rice or vermicelli! Complimentary green tea is provided(no free refills), & the customer service was pretty great. Personally, medium spicy was not what I'd consider medium, so take it up a level if you feel adventurous! Great place to stop by to warm your withered heart, or if your boo is hangry! read more

Tasty Pot - Lamb Hot Soup! - Taiwanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

8/10! I would totally recommend this place for soup lovers! Overall I would say that the environment was okay, I think that they would do some upgrades if they wanted to be more modern but it's not needed since the food speaks for itself. Really good place for those who don't want to interact much with staff. They refill your soup base, and there are some add ons but you can't customize your soup pot, which is the biggest complaint I have about this place. I feel wasteful because of this because you can't pick and choose the veggies and topping you want . Could benefit from having more sauce and homemade drinks. Overall worth checking out and going out with friends. read more

I went here on a Sunday at about 5:45pm with 4 other friends. They were able to seat us right away and we got there right before more people showed up. I was really looking forward to hot pot but was very disappointed. I got the healthy veggie hot soup ($13), but I SPECIFICALLY asked for nothing spicy. However, they brought it for me and it had spice all over it. I asked for a new one, and they reluctantly took it back to make me a new one. When they brought this one out, it literally tasted like boiled water with some raw veggies in it. The broth literally had no flavor. I thought maybe it's because I got veggies instead of a meat, but I had tasted the broth of someone who got the Beef Hot Soup, and it tasted the same but with some added spiciness. Also, a few of the beef hot pots looked like it could use a bit more meat. For the price, the portion size was decent, but I would probably not come here again. read more

Entering with anticipation and wonder on the taste because my sisters love this place, I am amazed by the presentation on the serving ingredients of the hot pot in metal sized bowls that is on top of a concealed wooden container and flaming fire to boil it up from the bottom! The fire lasts throughout the entirety of the munching of the meal and waiter comes by on refilling it with broth, if wanted. My first try of this kind of ordeal was in LA, Boiling Point on a hot day, if I remember correctly. I don't know why we opted for that on a hot day in LA. They give you complimentary iced tea for the sake of needing it to cool down after taking bites of items from your hot pot. It's a great combo and I like how they provide that instead of ordering it from the menu. They have delightful themed hot pots to choose from. From American style, Japanese miso broth based and to Thai soup, one can not go wrong with any of the hot pots! I like my gamey lamb pieces and other filled toppings to the whole ordeal. One can choose how spicy or neutral your broth wants to be. You can make your own sauce on the side for dipping the hot pot food items while slurping the soup away! It consists of garlic, hot sauce based and a quite thick paste to have everything come together in one salivating way! From the concept to the quality of the food, ambiance and complimenting iced tea, I was overly satisfied with everything! It's especially great on a cold, foggy, and rainy day. Tasty pot, indeed. Well named! read more

only individual hot pot spot in east bay. pretty solid. Tomato beef pot is usually my go-to

I love Tasty Pot! This particular location in Berkeley is smaller than other locations I have visited (Cupertino, Fremont, San Diego) but we arrived around noon on a Sunday and were able to be seated right away. We ordered the beef and lamb pots, mild and medium spice level, respectively - tasty! The service is friendly and efficient - orders are placed via the QR code link. read more

Calling all spice-lovers! The food here is actually spicy. Very spicy in fact if you order the highest level. Of course you can also order medium or no spice at all and the soup is still amazing. The portions are very generous and everything in the soup is great. For those that don't know, it's an individual hot pot place so the food comes mostly cooked, and each person's bowl comes with a wooden fire stove below so the soup can be kept warm and each individual can, in a way, control how their food is cooked (medium rare or well done). read more

Tasty pot has a great casual ambience and quick service for anyone craving hot pot in the berkeley area. While not ideal for a romantic dinner date, this place is casual yet intimate enough for catching up with friends or getting to know a date! The interior is mildly crowded and noisy, but comfortable. Service is really quick and efficient, which I appreciated. To seat you more quickly, they may give you menus to peruse while you wait outside, and by the time you get seated your food comes quickly! Yum! No complaints on the food - everything was great until it was gone. Recommend if you'd like a place to meet up with friends and chat over dinner :) read more

Came to Tasty Pot for dinner with some friends and had a great time! I ordered the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup. It was so full of flavors and spices I couldn't stop eating it! I LOVE spicy food and as the peppers continued to boil the spices were released. I really enjoyed my meal it wasn't too spicy (I have a high tolerance), and offered many other flavors thanks to the meats! I also ordered a Milk Creme Black Tea that was tasty. One of my friends ordered the Seafood Lobster Hot Soup. They liked the seafood flavor and the different types of veggies. Another friend had the Beef Hot Soup. While they did have trouble with the burner under their soup being too high and boiling out all of their broth they did enjoy the flavors of the soup. The experience was great and I would definitely go back! read more

I like tasty pot overall. This location is not the best but it's decent enough to go keep eating there. Service can be a bit on the slow end and the rice is blown out sometimes. I went yesterday and the service was a lot better than previous months. read more

I had the Sichuan soup here with extra soba noodles. The pot was boiling the whole time which may be normal but it was too hot (temp wise) to eat. So I waited for my friend to finish her soup and we got it to go. The other tricky part for this place is you order everything from the QR code that takes you to a link. For whatever reason it didn't work so well for my friend. In any case her soup was good and the sichuan soup was good after reheating at home. read more
