    Curry hot pot (medium)
    Stephanie W.

    Tasty pot never disappoints and I always leave very fulfilled. Was seated promptly for lunch and there was no wait. We get our usual curry and lamb hot pot with medium spice but we always ask for a side of chili oil to add more spice if needed. All the sauces were filled and they even had napkins at each table which is a huge plus (esp when it gets too spicy) because I haven't seen this at other locations. Service was good and the staff offered to add more soup to our pots.

    Green Pepper
    Linh L.

    Stopped by Tasty Pot after noticing their new Green Pepper flavor and it did not disappoint! I had my usual Beef flavor while my wife tried the Green Pepper. Both were flavorful, comforting, and packed with ingredients. The broth on the Green Pepper pot had such a unique kick without being overwhelming. What I like about Tasty Pot in the category or personal hot pot, you are able to fully customize your choice. For myself, I love the toppings in the beef flavor, however I love changing the broth to tom yum. Anyways, great spot for a cozy meal and we'll definitely be back next time.

    The food was actually Tasty & full of flavor. We got there as they were opening their door. Good thing too because this place became full of customers in the blink of an eye. I would say that I wish all of our main dinner dishes came out at the same time. It made it weird to eat my udon noodle dish while everyone else was waiting for their hot soup. Their fried calamari was a hit with its tasty crunchiness.

    Beef Hot Soup and Fried Chicken Wings

    Tasty Pot is definitely one of my favorite spots! The food is always amazing--everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to because you know you'll get a great meal every time.I also really appreciate how clean and well-kept the place is. It makes the whole dining experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. Most of all, the service is excellent. The staff are always so nice, friendly, and welcoming, which really stands out. They make you feel taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and great service in San Jose!

    I was honestly surprised by this. I've tried so many hot pot places around the Bay Area, but Tasty Pot was way more amazing than I expected since they start to do "All You Can Eat". Their side dishes have everything, especially the variety of meatballs and hot pot ingredients. That's something I appreciate because most hot pot spots are usually pretty limited. They also had a huge variety of vegetables to choose from. Definitely one of the better hot pot experiences I've had in the Bay Area.

    6. Healthy Veggie Hot Soup with beef soup base very spicy
    Michelle H.

    I love love love Tastypot its like the perfect comfort food no matter if its hot or cold outside. The soup and ingredients are always consistent and I dont think its ever been off in any way. My favorite pot would be the beef pot or the veggie pot with tomato soup. The variety in ingredients is great and I always feel like Im getting a very nutritious meal The workers here are super friendly and nice! I ordered a large takeout order once and one of the servers was kind enough to help me bring it out to my car! The store is really clean and everything is nicely decorated. Its my favorite place to have a casual dinner or a good hangout with friends

    Wow I had a wonderful dinner experience yesterday here at Tasty Pot Milpitas. I got their Japanese Miso Hot Pot and it was good, 4.5 stars. Funny enough, our table all got the same entree. Flavor was not too light nor overwhelming. If you want to add more spice for flavor, they have it on the side of each table. Portions were good too. I was so full. Also got their coconut lava balls which comes in 5 pieces per order, delicious, 5/5 stars. Service was spectacular from start to finish from all of their staff. They were very proactive and attentive in their service throughout to all customers whether it is helping navigate through their online menu, water refills, soup refills, or more napkins, they will come by and provide what they think customers need without needing to be asked. Interior is spacious, clean, and provides relaxing vibes.

    Tomato Fillet Hot Soups
    Michelle L.

    My third(?) time coming here with my group of 6+ longtime Milpitas friends! Parking is easy since it's located in a plaza. Walked in a little after 6:30pm on a Friday night and were immediately seated. Scanned the QR code at the table to order, and waters were brought out as we perused the menu I've gotten their beef soup twice prior, but I was looking at their new items and noticed a Tomato Fillet Hot Soup. They had varying new fillet hot soups, and it looked like the only difference was the type of soup they used (all the ingredients were the same). Opted to try the tomato one in mild w/ noodles. Didn't have to wait too long before the food started coming out! Unless you have dietary restrictions, I don't think you could go wrong with any of their choices. My vegetarian friends noted that there weren't many options for them (it looked like the Healthy Veggie Hot Soup was the only suitable option, but there lacked an option to add more protein - the consensus was that MalaTown had many more vegetarian options). Definitely enjoyed the Tomato Fillet Hot Soup! I did find two small bones in my fish, each about an inch long. It didn't seem like anyone else in my group who ordered the fillet soup had bones, but just be careful when you're eating the fish! Very comforting and casual meal! The total per person after tax and before tip came out to a little more than $20. Would be more than happy to come back!

    Takoyaki and coconut sesame balls
    Sarah T.

    Food is always great here. I'm glad they serve sizzling plates along with hot pots because I'm the only one who likes the soups in the family. Food is ordered by QR code at each table and comes out really fast after the order is submitted. The cheesy hot pot medium spicy was delicious. The snacks were piping hot! The restaurant is family friendly so it can get rather loud but it's expected with groups and families. The server would automatically bring by sealed water cups and forks for young kids which is greatly appreciated. Tasty pot is a good choice when no one can decide where to eat for dinner.

    Eel Sizzling (Udon)
    Jason H.

    From the "New Item!" menu, the Eel Sizzling with Udon versus Rice) plate was a pleasant change from soup. The sweetness from the eel (and eel sauce) was just right. The egg, edamame, and udon noodles were a perfect mixture. The Takoyaki and soup dumplings were typical, but hot and fresh. At first, they said we ordered one Eel with rice and one with udon -- until we showed them our cart/bill with two udon. Other than that, service was attentive and our water filled.

    This location is in a very busy plaza. You are lucky to find parking. The wait staff is always very friendly and the wait is never too long even though they are always busy. They have a few TV to watch sporting games. It's never too loud. You can hear your table perfectly fine. The food always comes out really hot and fresh. The wait is not too long. I like that you can make your own sauce right at your own table. On weekdays during lunch you can get a check in offer for free green tea. One of my go to spots for hot pot.

    Blanca G.

    I love coming here, It's been a while since the last time I was here but the food is always very tasty and fresh the staff are always very friendly and the store is always very nice and clean and the environmental is very welcoming.

    Nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. Great food, good service, and solid portions. My partner and I both ordered the Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hotpot, which can be adjusted to your spice tolerance. It comes with your choice of white rice or vermicelli noodles at no extra cost. The portion size is perfect, with premium ingredients and a solid variety of veggies/meats. There are dipping sauces at every table, and each customer gets a free iced green tea or black tea, which is a nice touch. They used to offer a creamier green tea if you checked in on Yelp, but it seems they don't anymore. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for an individual hotpot restaurant that hits all the right spots!

    I don't understand the rating of 3.2 so I'm going to correct this by saying doing your research and…read moreget a vibe before you just go in. I used my own eyes and saw the vibe and then went in without checking anything on the internet. And I was very happy that I did. This is a very CHINESE place. I have heard of such hotpot places in China. They cater to the customers very well. The bathroom has toothbrush and toothpaste and other stuff to get you cleaned up after eating hot pot. There are endless appetizers and Chinese desserts, as well as snacks for you to load up (all free!), and there are lots of sauces and whatnot for you before you even order. All self-served. The hot pot broth is very tasty, and you can then order items to put in the hotpot. For those of us who cannot decide, they have combo mushrooms platter so you don't have to choose, and beef offals mixed platter so you get a little bit of everything. The types of items available for hot pot is distinctively Chongqing stuff, so don't get too turned off if you don't see the usual hot pot stuff. It's not the run of mill kind of place. You get a nice booth and you get to refill the broth whenever you want. My favorite are the nice cold mung bean noodles that you would otherwise pay at least $10 to get as a side dish. It's free and endless. This is all you can eat and free. The second favorite thing that I couldn't get enough of is the different sesame balls they served up, all freshly made and incredibly tasty. My absolute third favorite is the various Chinese desserts that are locally found in Sichuan. Again all free. Onto the items we ordered. I really liked the thinly sliced lamb beef and hand cut beef (thicker), as well as mushrooms, veggies and beef offals. You don't have to decide on one thing, love the combo selections and very reasonable in cost. I also ordered pork blood which my parents liked. The price point is medium to low. Comparing to other hot pot restaurants, it's definitely very inexpensive. So I am surprised that they are making money honestly but that made my parents happy as they like a good deal. My parents really enjoyed the ingredients, the process and the endless appetizers and desserts plus local Chinese snacks that you can load up while eating the hot pot (individually packed quail eggs and tofu snacks). The restaurant chain is from China. So they cater to what the new gen Chinese hot pot goers want. Lots of variety, good price points, and a good beginning to end customer oriented process. A slight interesting observation - they have hair ties up front, in case you need to tie up your hair before getting down in business. I eat everywhere in the world because of my job and demanding travel work schedule. I am usually not impressed by food but this place is definitely top notch. I think I ate at least four variety of sesame balls. Yes they are fried, but they are fresh and delicious. It took an hour to get there, but it's totally worth it. Bonus points, made my parents happy in advance of Chinese New Year.

The concept might be simple but the possibilities are endless! I went absolutely overboard with my proteins (both beef and lamb), enoki mushroom, napa cabbage, tripe, baby corn, fish balls filled with roe and tofu skin. I saw that they had tofu mochi too and it was one of the best new things I decided to give a try. The bone broth was rich, flavorful and had that perfect mala kick with the numbing spice. I got mild flavor so it was not the kind of spicy that I could not tolerate. Each topping also soaked up all the flavorful broth. My friend got the medium spicy bone broth and that was packed a punch! I love how all the ingredients are fresh and fully restocked. The staff is very efficient.

On the positive side, they do offer a large variety of ingredients to choose from. When my bowl was served, I realized it wasn't the one I had ordered. They had accidentally switched my bowl with another customer's. Later, while eating, I came across some of the marinated cilantro beef, which looked raw. I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the cleanliness concerns, the order mix-up, and the food quality. There are plenty of ingredient options, but I don't see myself returning.

We didn't expect the Tom Yum broth to have such a strong coconut flavor. I didn't enjoy it. We mostly ate from the green rattan pepper broth, which was very spicy but pretty good! For sides, we got the lettuce, mentaiko fish balls, tofu skin, udon, enoki mushrooms, and Angus eye steak. I wouldn't get the lettuce again, since it gets too soggy in hot pot. I would opt for other vegetables instead. That said, one issue I had was that a fly flew into my sauce while we were eating. There were a couple of other flies flying around, likely because we were seated near the door. Since it was just my sauce, I was able to replace it, so I didn't mind too much but I'd avoid sitting near the door next time and hope they keep it closed. Overall, with so many hot pot places in the Bay Area, I'm not sure if this one will stand out especially with strong competition in Milpitas and San Jose. The quality is good, and the restaurant concept is cool. However its expensive compared to other places! I just hope they invest in better marketing, since we only discovered this place while heading to another restaurant in the same plaza. Their $17 lunch specials are pretty cheap so maybe I'd come back for a lunch special one day.
