    We arrived at 4:30 but they did not open until 5pm, so we went to the Veranda Shopping Center and hung about for awhile. We got back about 6 pm and we're promptly seated, provided our menus and served water. The way orders are placed here is via a QR code at the table that you scan and place your order. They have a sticker on the sign that says there is an 18% gratuity for parties over 6. I think that is fine, as it is common, but I would definitely NOT be placing my order via a QR code as that is a part of the service I would be tipping for at other restaurants that charge accordingly. I ordered the Kimchi Dumpling Soup, medium heat and substituted the beef slices for lamb slices and removed the egg. We could not make the change for the egg in the app, but the server was able to remove it. My daughter ordered the Beef Pot Soup, mild. Overall I was underwhelmed by the experience and the food. I have eaten at the one in Davis and it is good. I ordered the iced green tea and it was very bitter and over brewed. Our order came to $69.00 with the tip The restaurant is spacious and has about 16 tables, including tables for groups of 4 and 6. My daughter said the floors were sticky, but I didnt not notice. I would not visit again as I prefer the Davis location

    1. Beef Hot Soup
    Vivian L.

    Tasty Pot is one of my favorite chains! This Tasty Pot is similar to most, offering hot pots, sizzling plates for those not feeling hot soup, and a variety of appetizers. The broth wasn't as flavourful during my visit to the Concord location, but overall still satisfied with my visit. The free tea (during weekday lunch?) is always a bonus in my opinion!

    The Lamb Hot Soup from Tasty Pot is still just as tasty as ever. The dish came with Napa cabbage, lamb slices, vermicelli, enoki mushrooms, imitation crabmeat, meatballs, fish cake, kamaboko, pork blood rice cake, fried tofu skin, clams, sour mustard greens, brown beech mushrooms, tofu, and cilantro, all simmered together in one pot. The ingredients blended beautifully in a rich, silky white house broth full of flavor. If you run low on broth, the staff is happy to top it up for you. The meal also includes a choice of rice or vermicelli. I opted for the vermicelli, but the portion was very small. In hindsight, I would probably choose rice next time. Also, what I chose already came with vermicelli anyway. If you go during lunch, the meal comes with a choice of sweetened green tea or sweetened black tea, served iced or hot. We chose the green tea, which was excellent. It was lightly sweetened with a strong tea flavor that made it refreshing and a great complement to the meal. I feel like their tea has improved a lot since the last time that I visited this restaurant. The restaurant was not too busy at lunchtime, and both the table and seating were comfortable. Price wise, the dish was $19.99 as of December 2025 for both lunch and dinner, with lunch including the complimentary drink. The staff were friendly, and service was quick and efficient.

    I have never been to an individual hot pot restaurant before so I was looking forward to Tasty Pot. The food was very good and prices are very reasonable. The chicken chips are really tasty. I had the beef hot soup and I wasn't disappointed. The soup is rich and flavorful. There is a good variety of foods mixed into the soup already. You just add the sauce to flavor it as you like. The staff was helpful in suggesting dishes and explaining the differences. We were celebrating multiple birthdays, so we brought cakes and the server helpfully brought us some small plates and forks. I thought it was a good value and will try it again.

    My father in law who is Chinese but grew up in Taiwan introduced me to this place. It's fun because you can have single serving hot pot. It's nice because everyone can get the meat and toppings they want while still having the hot pot experience. I got the Seafood Lobster Hot Soup Dinner. It was really good, savory and the portion of seafood was really generous. The seafood was fresh and tasty. I really liked the broth too, it was simple but good. My father in law got the lamb soup. He liked it a lot. He added spice to it and enjoyed his meal. I had added ramen as it's an add of you can get but I didn't need it because my soup already had noodles. I recommend not adding noodles as you don't need to. It's nice to come here when you want hotpot but everyone wants different things cause you can each get exactly what you want here. The food is reliably good and it's a fun experience. Staff is kind and attentive. The ambiance is good. Lots of space and seating and plenty of parking.

    If you're a hot-potholic, give this place a try. Unlike some of the other traditional ones where there's a big pot with a center divide with two different soups with a heating element in the middle of the table, and you order from a menu either a la carte or AYCE, Tasty Pot miniaturize the experience where everything comes in a single portion hot pot. The single portion pot is misleading as it's really filling. You order from a set flavor and everything is in one pot (one drink included). The one I ordered didn't have much vegetables so I ordered a side of cabbage and opted for the vermicelli. On a cold day, this is real comfort food. If you compare Tasty Pots $25.00 single hot pot and to AYCE hotpot of $40, you may find more value with the AYCE. But for a quick lunch or don't want to cook it yourself or overeat, the Tasty Pot is perfect pot.

    I been coming too much lately. I fell in love with the appetizers. Chicken wings are a must! But I recently tried the calamari and meat pie. Hella good! Service is always attentive. Staff is nice!

    Kimchi Dumpling Hot Soup
    Amy L.

    In a strip mall with a bunch of other Asian restaurants. Parking maybe a tad bit difficult but you will find a spot but walk a distance. We walked in and they were full waited about 5-10 mins as they cleaned up a table. I decided on Korean dumpling soup, choice of rice or noodles. It was good but it wasn't as flavorful as a Korean stew. I wanted noodles. I didn't try the fried chicken or the miso soup.

    I'm starting to come here every Friday because I love the consistency and quality of the hot pot. Staff is friendly and quick. The store is clean and air conditioning is comfortable on a hot day. I really enjoy this place and I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already.

    9. Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup
    Meriya S.

    My husband and I love Tasty Pot so much! This time, we ordered two different soups: #9 Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot and #11 Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup. Personally, I didn't enjoy the Taiwanese Supreme as much because the intestine in the soup had a strong, slightly unpleasant smell that wasn't to my taste. However, the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup was absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy! Our favorite proteins are definitely the lamb and beef -- they're always tender, juicy, and pair really well with the broth. We also really liked this Tasty Pot location! It's much bigger than the Berkeley one, and parking is a lot easier since the lot is spacious and convenient. The service was good -- the staff were nice and attentive enough, although nothing particularly outstanding. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back for more!

    Cheesy Milk Hot Soup
    Reeven S.

    No matter which location I go to, Tasty Pot will always get a 5-star rating from me. Their consistency is excellent--both in customer service and food quality. I always order the Cheesy Milk Soup, and it never disappoints. I love the creaminess from the milk, and what sets this place apart from others is the generous amount of cheese they add to the soup. This location is also very spacious, with plenty of seating available, so if there is a wait, it shouldn't be too bad.

    Was looking for a good hot pot place, and was in the Concord area…read more So I'll start with what I didn't love, but I did think it was a great gimmick for the area. The music was way too loud, almost like a night club - where you have to practically raise your voice to talk. It's great for guys, where their voice projects, but it's more difficult for anyone that has a bit higher. There are no tongs (but they will give you extra chopsticks). Also, the individual induction units are right on the table, instead of inset. This causes the potential of hot soup base spilling as a more likely experience for clumsy people. For the thing I love about this place? First... value for money. $29.99 per person for all-you-can-eat hotpot? This is amazing in this age where an entree is like $25-30. Appetizers are ordered 2 at a time, and meats are 6 at a time. Meats only come one on a thin tray, which holds about 4-6 slices. So you'll be ordering other helpings, since there are I believe 5 beef selections, and a pork and chicken selection (7) total. The middle of the restaurant is a large bar where you get everything that isn't a meat. The selection of vegetables, and noodles are pretty vast, and almost always refilled. The seafood area has shrimp, clams, tilapia, and mussels. Sauces area also on the sides which makes it pretty much an on-going motion. It's not the high-end of hot pot by any means, but the ambience that they're projecting works for the area that it's in and how they compete with the rest of the restaurants in the area. But for the money? I'd go here. We did sit in a side-middle area where it wasn't a booth. However, they made sure to separate out the seating so that if you were a group of 3, they situated in opposite ends to create space. That attentiveness of spacing actually created a better atmosphere which was a small thing, but a smart thing. Love that they actually celebrate birthdays with banging of pots, and wishing well. It's something that is fun for groups and definitely nice if you happen to be celebrating a birthday! Definitely will come back.

    We were in the area and remembered that this place had really good hotpot meat, so we decided to…read morecome back again!

A few times I've been here I've heard customers speaking in Korean, so you know it's legit. I usually just order their Naegymyeon on a hot day. They have so many side dishes! They also offer scissors to help with cutting. While I've had their Korean BBQ, Naegymyeon stands out the most here for me. They also have robot servers to help with delivering food to your table. The robots are from Bear Robotics who had beginnings as a Korean restaurant, so the tech is spot on. But I wish there was also integration for a call button to get a server.

I met my friends Sarah and David for dinner here on 11/04/2025.

The giant restaurant logos on the walls were prominently displayed. Their menu featured a wide array of appetizers, soups, bibimbaps, cold and hot noodles, meat dishes, etc. We opted against their signature kalbijjim and instead got three entrée combos (L.A. galbi, spicy pork, and bulgogi).

Our food took about 15 minutes to arrive. Portion wise, the tofu soups were of decent size, but the meat entrées were kind of stingy (they were served in small round skillets). I had the seafood tofu soup and it was very good. It was loaded clams, shrimp, and squid. We shared the entrées, and they all tasted great. The only gripe I had was a couple pieces of the galbi had very little meat on them. Service we received was great. Our server was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The total was somewhere around $130 (with a bottle of soju, a tangerine slushy, and a soda). Overall, we all thought the food was good. Return trip very likely. 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Yelp waitlist deployed at this restaurant.

    The service was above and beyond. The dishes were spectacular, quite delectable and space was quite…read moreadorable. There was a parking lot, but the location was on the smaller side. Anyways, shout out to my server, she was the absolute sweetest sweetheart. Thank again for the drink recommendations! And now the drinks and food. The prices were reasonable and the quality was impeccable! We got the Shirley temples. I loved the blue raspberry Shirley temple, so sweet, tangy and refreshing. Definitely what I needed on that hot day. I got the sakedon. Now I've had many a sakedon and I can tell you this one's got a great bang for your buck. For the price you get an exceptional amount of salmon and the salmon was quite buttery. Melt in your mouth. That and the escolar along side the hamachi. Worth the visit. I cannot wait to come back.

    The Teen & I opted for Japanese and after seeing Tuck on the Grams' rave reviews, in addition to…read morethe Yelp reviews, we headed from the Hill that is Pleasant over to Concord. The food was made to order, hot and delicious. Me: an order of gyozas, spicy garlic, edamame, and the mixed tempura. She: steak teriyaki bento box, with gyozas as her side. We: miso soup, and the salad for starters. Service was good, as we were greeted upon our arrival, seated immediately and Jessie checked on us just enough. Those spicy garlic edamame are definitely for those who like spice, and that steak teriyaki was tender it almost melted in my mouth. The miso soup and salad were just the perfect serving size that I wasn't stuffed before my meal came. Ambience was chill because it wasn't 5 o'clock yet, so I'm almost positive we made it there before the dinner rush. Giving this place a four yumms up and a definite I'll be back !!

    Gen was the first K-bbq spot I ever tried, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. Over…read morethe years, though, so many K-bbq restaurants have opened up that unfortunately Gen kind of slipped off my radar. But this week, something came over me, and I decided to give it another shot. Lunch was about $22 per person as of June 2026. I remember going to the Concord location years ago and feeling like the portions were pretty small, even though you could order it as many times as you wanted. This time around though, our experience was completely different. Every order came out piled high like a mountain of meat. Everything was fresh, the marinades were on point. On top of that, our server was so friendly and attentive. Honestly, if I could give this place six or seven stars out of five, I would!!! Honey Soy Beef Belly: Absolutely amazing. The beef was sliced thin with the perfect ratio of meat to fat. The sweet and savory marinade complemented the richness of the beef belly oh so perfectly. I also loved the generous amount of green onions they sprinkled on top, which made this dish even more inviting. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. Beef Belly: This is basically the unseasoned version of the Honey Soy Beef Belly, so the quality of the meat was just as good. The nice thing is that you can customize each bite with the seasonings at the table, whether it's Green Tea Salt, Sesame Oil, or Sweet Soy Sauce. Simple but delicious. Bulgogi: Bulgogi has never been my favorite since I usually prefer savory over sweet, but this was still very good. The beef was tender, the marinade was flavorful, and everything was well balanced. That said, I'd still pick the Beef Belly dishes over this one. Chadol: This beef brisket used to be my go to order at Gen. Somewhere along the way, though, they switched to a leaner cut of meat. So now it wasn't quite as tender as I remembered. Still though, the meat was fresh and tasty. Honestly, it really comes down to your personal preference and whether you enjoy a leaner cut or a fattier cut. Pork Belly: Thick slices of unseasoned Pork Belly that you grill yourself and cut into smaller pieces then dip in Sesame Oil and Salt? Yes please! These were incredibly satisfying. Once cooked, the pork was even still tender and juicy. Easily my favorite pork option. Spicy Marinated Squid This dish had that classic Korean spicy sauce that balances sweet, savory, and spicy flavors super duper well. The squid stayed tender after grilling, it was amazing. I'd definitely order this again. Hotteok: A Korean style pancake filled with Brown Sugar and Peanuts. It's definitely a heavier dessert after a bbq meal than what I usually prefer, but it was still really good. The outside was pleasantly chewy (mochi like texture), while the filling was warm, sweet, and gooey. Kimchi Fried Rice: Don't sleep on this one because their Kimchi Fried Rice was fantastic. It had the perfect balance of tang and savory flavors, and it paired well with all the bbq meats. Super yummy.

    I was disappointed with the service during my first visit. I waited about 35 minutes for my food,…read morewhich was much longer than expected. The japchae was very tough and lacked flavor. I also requested an additional side dish, but it never arrived. Even my drinks were served late. While the prices are reasonable, the quality of service needs significant improvement. Better attention to customers and faster service would greatly improve the dining experience.
