Tasty Pot is a top spot for some Asian-centric soup in Berkeley. The soups were all incredibly flavorful and they really load the toppings. Shout out to Michael, one of the servers here. He was super attentive, answering all of our questions, refilling waters, and brought our food out. He's honestly jacked because the dude lifted 2 hot pots at the same time. Overall, a bunch of other students around made for a casual dining experience. read more

I love Tasty Pot but not this location. The sauces are not out for you; you have to flag the staff down and request it. Also, this location does not have as many broths as other locations. Service is just meh, due to the design of the inside you really have to flag staff down. Parking here is already a drag so I'd rather go to a different location for Tasty Pot. read more

Tasty Pot is overpriced to be honest but it's a Berkeley staple, especially on cold days and there's just no other alternatives close to campus. That being said, their hotpots taste great, there are many spice levels and flavors to choose from, and the service is attentive for how busy they always are. read more

Food is abundant and priced just right. Service is good when slow, but when it's busy......I didn't get my water right away. I got my soup before the water. The food quality and cleanliness of dining area is superb. Ambiance is great too. Good for dining with friends, spouse, or just by yourself. read more

The hot pot here satisfied my hot pot craving, I love how rich the broth is and how quickly it cooked in the individual hot pot. There's also an option of choosing spice level, I end up getting mild and even that there is still a kick. I ordered the kimchi hot soup and already it's very filling by itself. I would definitely come back again for that hot pot craving. read more

It was such a cold day, meaning it was PERFECT for some hot pot! I hadn't gone to Tasty Pot since freshman year, so it's been a while, but it hit SO different because my friends and I were craving it. The workers were quick to bring our food out, fill our water, and refill the broth! Pro tip: ask for the sauce to eat with the hot pot bc it's SO GOOD!!

WHEN: 11/6/21 Saturday @ 1pm Heard a lot about Tasty Pot in berkeley as it's the only hot pot location in the entire city. The place is located in downtown Berkeley right next to campus. The place is really big with two levels and a lot of tables available. They're only open a few hours so expect to wait if you come during peak times. Ordered the curry pot ($15), Szechuan pot ($18), and kimchi dumpling pot ($15). They give complimentary sweet ice tea which was really good. Tasted like a mix of black and chrysanthemum tea. The food came out fast even though the place was really busy. Each of the broths are the same (pork broth) but differs on if you get different flavors. I thought it was delicious! The flavors of each pot were really nice and the portions aren't huge but arent small. You can definitely finish one pot on your own. Extra bonus because the service was great Overall a perfect dish for a cold day, can't go wrong! read more

I'm grateful that they opened one closer to me. I used to venture out all the wayyy to the south bay for some tasty pot. Their concept is individual hot pots that is served on a cute little flame. Portion size is pretty big and it'll fill you up. They have a lot of different flavors to try depending on what you're craving at the moment. Location is kinda hard to find parking and the wait is always kinda long since it's a small place. It's close to the school so when I say long, it gets a bit unrealistic. Make sure you have other options open if you're hangry. read more

Food was delicious! The food came out fairly quickly and the server would refill our soup whenever it ran low. The soups also came with a lightly sweetened tea that was refreshing with every bite we took. I ordered the Kimchi dumpling soup and it came with lots of toppings and could definitely be taken home for a second meal read more

This Tasty Pot location is on a whole other level. I just ordered some Togo from here and I love how they packed it. Compared to other locations this one is my favorite. I usually go to the Newark or Dublin location but now I'm coming from now on. I love that they put there vermicelli in broth for Togo. This allows me to add more broth to the soup when I heat it up at home. It make the whole experience a lot more worth it. Usually by the time I get home and heat up the pot all the broth is gone. I always get the Taiwanese spicy and often am disappointed cause there is barely any broth left. And don't forget the sauce. The soy bean sauce and garlic soy is so good. It complement everything. Y'all is missing out if you haven't tried tasty pot yet. Literally the best hangover food/ comfort food around. Also I forgot to mention, they literally taped the straw to my drink. (Thank you) Literally outdid themselves with my order today. read more

Food is still good, but I've noticed that from the many times coming here, I or someone in my party has encountered hair in their food on at least 5 different occasions. And this has not changed in the year that I haven't been to this location. Food preparers should be wearing hair nets. read more

This place lets you modify the soup so it's dry friendly to those who have dietary restrictions. I've had almost every soup and my favorites are the Szechuan, beef, lamb, and cheese hot pots. The drinks here are also delicious ! Make sure to come during lunch if you want a free green or black tea. This is a true go to stop for many locals and students . read more

Tasty Pot is one of my favorite soup places of all time. It just fulfills all of my cravings, I love the hot soup and taste. I usually get number 1- beef and beef hot soup or the Taiwanese supreme spicy pot-- that one is larger with noodles and lots of more meats and intestines but the soup so so good. They come in fire heated pots where you can keep it on or shut it off. All soups come with rice or noodles for an additional cost. I like to dip my meat in the sauces they give. They also can give you additional broth while you're eating, so sometimes you can share but a lot of people can eat it all themselves. I love going to tasty pot post bachelorettes. They give you complimentary water and they also have milk teas/bobas there too. You can order via QR code and take care of everything or you can order with the server. It's probably easiest through the QR code and for anything additional you want. Located within downtown Berkeley, parking can be difficult when it's busy. There's street parking right out front or you'll have to circle around to find a street spot. I came in on a Sunday evening upon closing and got lucky. If you like Asian soup, you have to try Tasty Pot at one of their locations. If you don't finish you can also take it home! They have other appetizers which is good for children but we mainly go for the soup. read more

We came on a rainy Saturday night craving the goodness of piping hot food and that is what we got! We arrived @ 6pm and waited 30 minutes to be seated. Neat thing was we were able to order while waiting and our food came out less than 2 minutes after we were seated. It's a pretty good system in my opinion. We both had the Sichuan spicy pot and the flavor was on point! It was authentically spicy and not just salty as most places do to their broths. The portion size is generous and with free rice and vermicelli (I ordered udon instead) we walked away with full and happy bellies. Will certainly be back! read more

Hearty Taiwanese hot pot, served in a cute single person portion! However, the service and quality of food may keep you from returning. The beef hot soup is well packed with different meats and veggies to keep you interested. However, I feel like the amount of beef was exchanged for larger quantities of Napa cabbage. The cuts of beef are also a bit tough and rubbery. The broth tastes a bit watered down and not very savory. I also found a broken clam shell with jagged edges and broken pieces in my soup that if I accidentally ingested, could have cut me badly. The restaurant refused to do anything about this or exchange my hot pot for a new one, which convinced me to stop eating. If you come for lunch, you get a free cup of green tea with your meal. I thought mine was very refreshing. The ambience inside is homey; they play trendy music on par with the college campus nearby. Overall, I would return if no other hot pot place opened up nearby. read more

Been here 3 times now so here's a detailed review Limited street parking so be patient, walking in it's a small restaurant but it's cozy and spacious enough to maintain privacy. I prefer to sit in the upstairs dining area. Also I might be eating this dish wrong because I ask them to not turn the hot burning coals on since I can not eat my food when it's extremely hot in temperature. Typically the fire is suppose to burn and go out itself in time but I don't enjoy eating my food that way ALTHOUGH I realize that is the way it is supposed to be eaten here which is great and I love how different cultures eat there soups.In my opinion these soups have a lot of topping but not enough noodles in even when I ordered extra noodles at an extra charge I still did not feel satisfied with the portion of noodles given for a $30 soup. Ingredients tasted very fresh and soup was delicious. Note that add ons are overly expensive for example $3 for one hard boiled egg. Also add on options are not clear enough so how many dumplings come in one order of an add on is not clear on the menu. Service is always speedy we get our soups within minutes from ordering whether it's busy or not and workers are polite and attentive. FYI all the broths seem to be pork broth and once I tried the Thai option and I was not satisfied with how it tasted very distinctive taste for me but all other broths were extremely tasty!

we got the sichuan spicy and taiwanese spicy with a side of their new skewers. both the sichuan spicy and skewers had a prominent numbing spice that we really enjoyed. eating the skewers we're kind of a suprise since we didn't know what was in it when ordering. it was mainly fish balls, sausages, mushrooms and beef wrapped veges. there was around two of each so it's perfect to share. the portions are pretty generous and goes super well with rice. i think the sauces on the table helps bring out the flavor so don't forget to use them! i wish they had more vegetable variety in the pot though. for the taiwan spicy specifically, it came with instant ramen so make sure you don't double order it! service was nice mainly college part timers. usually pretty busy but the wait isn't too bad. we went around 5pm on Sunday and was able to be seated immediately. read more
