I like their hot pot, it made me think of my home. my Korean and Japanese Friends like the hot pot they ordered too! if they can also provide the green tea without sugar, that would be great! read more

Tasty pot definitely is one of the best hot pot places in the bay area. I have lived in LA for the last 3 years and nothing really beats the hot pot you find at around 626 and stuff but that's because there is so much competition and different options you have for taiwanese hot pot down there. When it comes to anywhere near Oakland you don't have much options, so what you get are very limited but tasty pot prices are great and the quality is great as well. I will definitely be back. read more

I come here way too often. It tries to cater to both Asian and non-Asians alike with some western influenced hotpots and sauces. My favorite is the Taiwanese and cheesy milk hotpot. Great service and very crowded most of the time. Servers come around often and ask me if I want refills on broth and water. read more

I always order the beef hot pot, mild spiciness, and it's good everytime. I usually try to come during lunchtime or early at dinnertime, because it can get quite busy during dinner. Also you get free unsweetened tea and it's cheaper if you come during lunch hours. read more

This place is great!! Their food is just as good as boiling point and their service is top notch. My waitress was named Vivian I think? She made sure I was treated well and always brought my water and food on time. She treated me with a wonderful smile too! Amazing place recommend read more

My second time eating here during their first week's soft opening. Food is fresh, hot and spicy any level you want. Customer service is great. Wait staff is attentive and responsive. Amazing to see how busy they are. read more

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Usually the food is good. However, the service is terrible. They literally could have gotten two small tables and pushed them together for my party of four. Instead, they served other small parties even though the parties would sit next each other. We waited 45 minutes, only to get tables that they actually pushed together at last minute when it was the first thing they could have done. When we were served the food though, my hot pot kept leaking and the soup base kept spilling everywhere. Also, for a business that's in a college town, the inabiltity to split a check more than twice is unacceptable. I'm very unsatisfied. read more

My friend spilled hotpot asked for fork and waiter swooped with his voice and helped immediately before anything else bad happened. read more

Tasty Pot - My friend spilled hotpot on himself and asked for a fork. The waiter came at us and was so nice. 100000% nice - Taiwanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

It's alright...... not the greatest hot pot but takes care of my random cravings for it once in awhile. I've eaten some cold fish balls sometimes (frozen in the middle) read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here with a couple of friends, it was full and lively. It was my first time trying hot pot around here and it was super yummy . I love the variety of options you can choose from. Although it was packed at the time I went, we got seated really quick soon after. My experience overall here was enjoyable and the service was fast and courteous. I'm sure to come back again ! read more

Great pots, no space , overcrowding of tables chairs the bump into other people, I feel like a sardine in a can.

This is probably one of the most diverse hotpot spots you can get here in Berkeley. We arrived pretty late on a sunday weekend and there was no line. BAM, 10/10. Got situated and looked at the menu. It had a variety of soup bases to choose from but I got the original Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup with extreme spicy because I have a pretty high tolerance. Food comes out and it had everything in it! Veggies, vermicelli, meat, seafood. BAM, 10/10. Everyone gets their own personal hotpots and believe me, I've been to a fair share of those and they do not compare to the generous sizes that Tasty Pot gives you. Just a warning that the boba teas compliments the hot pot well because as the pot is boiling from the fire underneathe, I got the honey milk tea because they ran out of the honey green milk tea but nonetheless, it was creamy and delicious. Lastly, the customer service was great and attentive when we had a request. Overall, BAM 10/10. read more

So I've never had hot pot, so I don't have any good reference to compare this too. Had lunch there and ordered number 3, the seafood pot, with a side of rice, and the very hot option. Coming for lunch on a weekday there was no line. The food was overall pretty good. All the fish worked really well with the broth and there was a great variety of seafood. Crab, shrimp, mussels, octopus, scallops and fish all worked great in a hot pot and everything worked well with the broth. The ability to get additional broth for free was great, if incredibly unhealthy. The drink it came with was really good too. Overall it was really good, but I'm oddly enough not super psyched to head right back, which is weird since fish in spicy broth should be motivating me to come every day. Because of that I can't give it a perfect score. The staff was really nice and attentive, and at the end they all said goodbye, so it wasn't there fault. I would recommend this place though to anybody interested in hot pots. read more

Me and my friend got stomach ache after eating here. Too much cheap cabbage at the bottom of the pot.

Their vegetable hot pot has no flavor whatsoever, definitely do not recommend it to anyone that's vegetarian, or even just wants to eat veggie hot pot on a whim. read more

Bad service. I want a table for two people but I cant even wait inside unless my friend come. Even there are lots of seats inside. Really angry about that. read more

Very poor service. I wish there's a boiling point nearby instead. My pot wasn't boiling even after a few minutes sitting on my table (we even added some side veggies which need to be cooked). I asked the big guy to probably change the fire, but was told "they are already cooked, well done".... hello? Did u not see the sides we added? Even if not, I would like to have it boiling! Unbelievable! Won't go back again, doesn't taste as good as boiling point anyway... read more

Rude, rude and rude staff! I took my 90 years old mother to this place. My mother was cold and asked to seat at a corner table which was away from the door. The staff refused to seat us, saying it was a table for 3. The restaurant was 1/2 empty. We are Chinese people and so were the staff. Chinese people treat our elderlies with respect. Clearly not the staff there! read more

I love this place. I have been here twice and have not had a bad experience yet. The trick for this spot is to get here right when they open. They get filled up FAST and the place is not that huge. So far, I've tried the taiwanese spicy hot pot and the kim chi hot pot with dumplings and both are very good. The hubs has gotten the beef and the miso flavored ones...he liked both but probably liked the beef one better since he's not huge on seafood. These pots come packed with tons of stuff..and most include your choice of vermicelli or rice on the side. This spot has become one of my favorite restaurants in the area...I wish they had been open earlier when I lived there. But now everytime we're in town we make an effort to go back because we love it so much. The service has always been friendly. The portions are pretty large and their boba drinks aren't bad, either. You do have to find street parking or paid garage parking, but that's pretty much standard for any downtown Berkeley business. We'll be back!! read more

I went here on a Friday night. The wait was not too bad. I ordered the lamb hotpot. For some reason the Tasty pot in Berkeley is not as good as the other chains in the Bay Area. On top of that, I found a strand of black hair that was deep into my soup. I kindly informed my server about it and he took the soup back. Moments later he comes back to show me the hair and says that the hair was most likely mines because there was no one in the back with long hair. What did not make any sense was that I had brown/blonde hair. I did not have black hair but he was saying it was mine. Defintely not coming back here ever again! read more

I can see why people had bad experiences due to the lack of space and hygiene. That said, it is rather hard to get hot soup in Berkeley, and you can get a decent portion of protein here. I also don't think service was bad and the taste was delicious, so overall I had a good night We had Japanese miso-based hot pot. I'll try their lamb next time. read more

i love this place but quality has gone down lately. soup base tasted like straight water

I went here during a cold and rainy day so I might have been too pleased when I ate my order of vegetable hot pot. Being asian and growing up eating hot pot almost everywhere I go, it is really hard to find the one that could please me since my expectations are already high. And sadly, this place did not offer anything unique or different than those I have tasted before. The broth smelled and tasted just like the instant noodle packets I get from Taiwan (good thing or bad thing? I don't know). My soup did not have enough of a variety of vegetables as the picture portrayed and I was very disappointed by that. Their sauces on the side did not have a taste I was looking for. In my opinion, the best part of any hot pot place is the sauce and I have to say I am quite disappointed that it lacked that kick I was desperate to taste. Looking around at the sea of people and busy atmosphere of the restaurant, I couldn't figure out why people would come here to eat. It must have been the weather? Definitely not for the food. I know that I have tasted way better hot pot than this. read more

I love this place and I come here very very often but it's just not very polite to give someone the bill when they're barely half way done with their food. Yes, it was during lunch hour but the place was barely packed. read more

The service was good. This is a great place if you are interested in Taiwanese pot. The food was okay, but there was nothing impressive.

Love it! Big fan of the Newark location, and so excited they're now in Berkeley. This is *the* hot pot place to go in the East Bay now.

The #2 lamb hot soup (medium spicy)was delicious! Loved the ingredients, broth, and sauces they had to offer. The lamb was a little tough, but I would go back and try the other selections. read more

Best hotpot place in Berkeley!! :) bang for the buck. I recommend the beef or lamb hotpot, but I'm sure the other options are good too. The service is very friendly, and the place seems to always be filled (a good sign). Would definitely come back again! read more

Broth=yum, but the hodge-podge of ingredients left something to be desired. It seemed like a lot what what in my Spicy Taiwanese special were "fillers" of sorts. Probably won't be back again, but the ambiance was nice. read more

I tried the spicy Taiwan , all I can taste is spicy and nothing else. On top of the I had to pay a dollar to switch from beef to pork.

Thank you for changing the way to leave our umbrellas. That's OK, we don't want the other umbrella unless that person come and exchange it. Just that ours had a sentimental value. read more

small and cozy. reasonable price, and good food. medium spicy is already super spice to me. will come again for sure. so sorry that they dont take reservations read more

So yummy!!! and portions are pretty large! I was stuffed! Got the beef hotpot and it had a decent amount of various fillings. I would have liked more veggies, but it was awesome! Def. coming back! read more

I only use yelp to check for places to eat so this is my first and maybe only review. Decided to come here tonight because we were craving mini hot pot. Food wise, it's the same as their other locations, four stars. But staffs here are awesome...young, energetic, and cheerful. Ten stars if that's even possible! They're very efficient at getting people on waitlist inside, at the same time FUN. You can tell they enjoy working. One of the guys was doing the viral PPAP dance momentarily near center of restaurant when music started playing. Must say it's a very enjoyable dining experience. read more

I visited the one in San Jose at least monthly when my son was a student in that area. I did miss the hot pot since I no longer need to go down to SJ now. When I learned that they have one in Berkeley, which is close to my home, I was super excited. The food tastes the same, the menu is the same, the price is the same, except the service and the ambience. It is very small and there is not much space between tables. Literally, you felt it when the customer sat behind you moved his/her chair. Also, I have to wave for the waiter/waitress to add soup to my hot pot or ask for my bill. The worst part is there is a sewer smell in the dining area. At first we thought that it was from outside and we asked the waiter to close the front door. However, the smell did not go away. Both my son and I smelt it but the waiter did not seem bother with it. We finally decided to ask for a to-go container and pack whatever was left in the pot and to leave the place. Not sure whether we dare to give it a second trial. read more

This place is a super yummy hot pot place near Downtown Berkeley. There's usually a wait so you should go there expecting a small wait (usually ~20 mins most during dinnertime, not like an hour). The difference between this hot pot place and others is that if you order extra meat, they'll bring it to you cooked already (so you only have to warm it up in your pot). Flavor was great for the pot, but -1 star because I'm usually used to a better sauce selection (I think they give you three - one chili oil that's really spicy and two others) + the option to add garlic and onions in your sauce. read more

good food.. much much better than peak point. the rice in peak point is horiable. tasty pot have more food than peak point.
