Tomato spicy pot
Rachel L.

I walked in on a busy Sunday night and joined the wait-list on the tablet. I waited around 10 min before I was sat, while I was waiting there was a poster for the tomato spicy pot,I was really intrigued so I decided to get it. Alongside, I ordered Cajun chicken wings for the heck of it. The food came out shortly and the chicken wings were super yummy, very crispy and very juicy. Definitely an item I will get the next time I'm here. The tomato spicy pot was also delicious. A balance of sweetness from the tomato and the spiciness from the seasonings, this is a larger pot so I definitely had to take some leftovers home.

Despite the rain and long commute, drove two hours to Tasty Pot in Elk Grove. Arrived at 2:20pm as the hours online show that they close at 3pm. When we had arrived, party of three, we were told that their kitchen was closing. There were still many guests inside the restaurant and the staff had explained that they had a long wait list and they were accommodating those who were wait listed or had reservations. We had explained that we had driven two hours away to dine at Tasty Pot and we honestly were not aware that their kitchen would be closed/closing. We asked the staff if an exception can be made, they checked with the kitchen staff and said okay. We were seated within a few minutes and we ordered shortly, after. Within 10-15 mins later, our food was brought out to us. Very large portions, very fulfilling and it was perfect for the rainy day. Their service and food is consistent -- kind staff and the hot pots are tasty! After our meal, we purchased macaroons for dessert. I really appreciate the staff and the fact that they did make an exception to accommodate us. Looking forward to dining here, again, soon!

Lamb Hot Soup

Came on a Friday night and joined the Yelp waitlist around 7 PM, had to wait about 40 minutes. Got the lamb hot soup, and it was delicious! The lamb was super tender, and the bean sauce added a great salty savory kick. Definitely worth getting an extra plate of meat too. I'll definitely come back again!

#1 Beef with Iced Green Tea
Jenny Y.

Elk Grove Tasty Pot is the best compared to the location 65th. I feel like it's always clean. The taste of the pots and spice levels are consistent. The Cajun chicken wings are super good! Great seasoning and never dry. I like the music they play here. I always receive great customer service here! They're friendly, attentive and fast.

Instead of the typical AYCE buffet model, Tasty Pot in Elk Grove specialize in individual, Taiwanese-style personal hot pots sold by the unit, starting around $17.99. It's a much more relaxed, portion-controlled, and high-quality dining experience. I returned here recently after a few years away and ordered the Beef Hot Soup with Satay flavor. The set comes fully loaded with a massive variety of ingredients: Napa cabbage, vermicelli, enoki mushroom, taro, tomato, tofu, tempura, corn, meatball, kamaboko, fried tofu skin, imitation crabmeat, fish cake, clam, and fresh cilantro. It also includes a bowl of rice and a refreshing cup of iced tea, making it a complete, satisfying meal. The biggest game-changer for this visit--and my absolute best advice for anyone eating here--is to request your raw beef slices ON THE SIDE. By default, they will pre-cook the beef right in the broth before serving it to you. If you don't want your meat overcooked, ask them to keep it raw on a side plate. This allows you to dip and cook the beef pieces individually to your exact preference, keeping the meat incredibly tender. The satay broth was rich and savory, but the soup base felt like it was instant, relying on powder or paste instead of a traditional, slow-cooked broth. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the individual burner setup keeps everything piping hot throughout the meal.

Check-in
Edmund C.

Heads up if you use the yelp wait list. You actually have to go in and tell them you're there. Even before you get a text. My wife checked in at 12:44pm amd yelp said it would be an 11-25min wait. At 1:20pm I went inside to ask how much longer it would be because it said there were still 4 groups ahead of us and hadn't moved. The host then said he moved me to another list and that it would be 1-2 more groups ahead of us. They sat three more groups ahead of us and then sat us at 1:55pm. I understand wanting to service customers that check-in in person, but then that should be your only method of taking customers. We waited in the car because there was nothing on the yelp check-in that said to go inside for faster service. We would have gone inside if we had known.

Potstickers
Ky-Anh H.

This Tasty Pot location is the one my girlfriend always recommend whenever we're up north, and I enjoy it every time we visit. The service is nice and it's always packed whenever we go, which makes sense since it seems very enjoyable for everyone. We both got the Taiwanese as well as an order of potstickers. The potstickers were a nice appetizer and came with a total of 6. I always try what she recommends as she used to come often, so we both got the #9 Taiwanese, both mild. It was a good amount of spice and I enjoyed every bit. The broth was flavorful, and every bit of food, from meat to vegetables, were all good and complimented each other in each bite. My only small dislike is that I wish the noodles weren't that soggy, but maybe I could've just separated them from the broth once it came out. Overall I would recommend Tasty Pot for anyone in the mood for hot pot, especially during the colder season. It's so filling and good and warmed me up for the weather during our visit!

Muoi H.

One of my fav local spot ! All the staff are friendly and attentive ! Go for lunch because you get a free drink

Lamb Hot Soup
Susan Z.

The service is exceptional at Tasty Pot! They're always checking to make sure if you need more broth or if you need more water. One time we were seated near the speakers and it was a bit too loud for me - I told the owner and she turned it down. It was so sweet of her because she didn't have to The hotpots are so tasty and delicious!! I love the variety of toppings they include in each hotpot bowl, always something different and new in each. The wait can be long, especially with the cold weather so I recommend joining the waitlist on yelp before coming in. They have a sauce station where you can make your own sauce and that really elevated the entire meal! If you're looking for a hotpot place where you get your own bowl, this is definitely the place to go to!

Beef Hot Soup
Maple C.

Tasty pot is forever my go to place I love it always. I'm a regular customer I order it on DoorDash from time to time and eat inside as well. My favorite pot is beef hot soup with flaming spicy with rice and green tea ! I love how they added chili powder as one of the things to put on your hotpot sauces in the sauce tray it's so goood!! The beef hot soup always hits on a cold day and I always crave it. The staff is always so nice and they are accommodating my favorite place for hotpo

Mala skewers, this was pretty good with lots of good seasoning.
Tiff A.

This is one of my favorite places to get hot pot. The service was phenomenal and super friendly. The hot pot is for single serving but certain ones are big enough to share. The dinning area is a decent size, we've come here as a party of 10, they were able to accommodate. There's plenty of smaller tables but not many tables to fit big parties. So, if you know you have a bigger party than 7-8, I would highly recommend making reservations. My favorite: #9.Taiwanese supreme New item: Mala skewers, I try this today. It has really good flavors and a good amount of spicy level. Would recommend to my fellow foodies who like spicy food. Totally worth trying.

Miso flavor hot pot (top) and Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup (bottom)
Chau P.

I've been to many tasty pots, and this is the best location. Usually, at other locations, I have to add more sauces to make the soup flavorful. Here, the soup is already tasty and nothing needs to be added. I got the Sichuan soup and finished the entire thing. Service was very good and attentive. We drink a lot of water and it was constantly getting refilled. I will be back!

Linly K.

We stopped in for dinner at Tasty Pot. I was quite impressed with the food! I got the Japanese Miso Soup. As everyone says, the portion size is impressive and what a great option as the weather cools down. The soups come in a good sized bowl on top of a heat unit so it stays nice and hot. My dish was nicely flavored (I got mild since it was my first time and the spice level was very good! I may up my game the next time.) The service staff is quite attentive, and the dining area sits a good crowd. Overall, highly recommend!

Is there any non-seafood options?

Yes. Veggies and beef options. Take a look at the menus posted

Which hotpot on the menu doesn't contain pork or sulfites (a preservative)? I am allergic to both. Thanks.

There's a bunch of options without pork in the hotpot but I don't know what they use to make their soup base. I would recommend calling them before dining in.

Does dinner also include the free tea?

No, they offer water free of cost but hot tea is on you. They also have cold teas.

Is this a good place for solo dining? :)

Yes, we have many folks coming in solo for a quick lunch before going back to work.

Are there any soup bases that don't include beef or pork? Chicken, lamb and veggie bases are fine

Hello, yes there is a veggie soup bowl you can order. There are no beef or pork in the base .

Dine in available right now?

Only takeouts. No indoor or outdoor dining due to current county order.

When is curbside pickup going to be available? Or is it going to be available at all? Yelp says they're doing curbside, but when I called they said they were not. We're avoiding restaurants without curbside pickup so any insight is appreciated.

Is this restaurant still open during shelter in place?

Hello, we are currently closed until the mandate is lifted. We will post on reopening date on our website and social media platform as soon as we know! Thank you for your support and stay safe!

Are the broth options all pork based?

I cant eat pork so i have them use veggie broth or water and add a soup flavor to it for the people are so nice there so ask they will help 😊

Which Tasty Pots do not have nuts?

Our number 1, 2 , 5, and 9 have nuts. The rest doesn’t. Please let the server know you are allergic to but and they will take care of you.

Are you guys open 12/24 or 12/25?

Hello we are open everyday regular hours except on Xmas day the 25th.

My husband doesn't eat beef, pork, seafood or lamb. Does this place have chicken or fish (the only seafood he eats)?

No chicken... But I love their veggies

Do they use MSG?

There's no obvious taste of MSG. The hot pots have plenty of umami, though. The decades-long scare about MSG has been proven false, by the way, and based on incorrect chemistry. And many foods can have no added MSG, but still have a lot of natural… 

Do you guys have the Szechuan hot pot offered like other locations?

Hi Cindy, yes we do!

Can you substitute one ingredient for another?

Hi Emily, unfortunately we don’t do substitution, but we can take out any items you don’t want. You can also do add on for items that is not in the soup.

We decided to try a little bit of everything and here is what we ordered: hot and sour soup, potstickers, spicy cucumbers, BBQ pork, BBQ pork fried rice, Mongolian beef, and honey walnut shrimp. The food came out fast and piping hot. Pretty soon our entire table was covered with dishes. We started with the hot and sour soup, which we both felt was lacking in the flavor department. It didn't have that spicy tang that you look for when you order hot and sour soup. The potstickers were fried crispy, but the dough was a little too thick. The spicy cucumbers had no flavor to them at all. And the honey walnut shrimp was not memorable. We both felt that the two best dishes were the BBQ pork fried rice and the Mongolian beef. The beef was tender and had good flavor. The prices were extremely fair and the portions were large, but all in all this was not my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area.

The aroma alone--warm five-spice, toasted sesame, and slow-simmered broths are comforting.

Taking one bite of the Taiwanese braised pork rice instantly made me think of my nànà's cooking, the similar flavors jolted me back to her kitchen as a kid. Wow, that alone blew my mind. I haven't tasted anything remotely close to her cooking since she passed away. Thank you . Everything I tried was delicious and I can't wait to come back and order everything else!!!
