Sizzling beef over udon noodles
Rose C.

It was a busy Friday night and we were able to walk in and get a table for 2. First time dining at Tasty Pot. The menu looked interesting and the decor had good ambiance. They brought us water as son as we sat down. The online menu was pretty easy to use. I made a mistake with my husband's order and they graciously redid his meal. The food came out hot and sizzling/boiling. I loved that! We were not rushed and fully enjoyed our experience. I will be back to try one of the other hot pots.

9. Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup and Fried Calamari
Kevin T.

No one can make me hate this spot. Tastypot is legit one of my favorite places. #9 Taiwanese don't miss. Their popcorn chicken is always good, but I decided to try the fried calamari. Yall, the calamari is some of the best I've ever had. 10/10 you gotta try it for yourself!

Lobster pot and calamari
Stephen L.

Let me lead with the best part, which was the seating and service. The 3 gentleman waiting tables and delivering orders were on point with their hospitality and within what is in their control. The ambiance was great too and the setting was quite welcoming and home feeling. Now to get to the food. We were very disappointed with it on the whole outside of the white fish, clams, and octopus. We ordered a calamari appetizer which was fully overcooked, recooked, or frozen without being thawed appropriately. The batter was overwhelming with seasoning that almost tried to mask the deep chewiness of the squid itself. We then hoped for more when ordering the lobster and sea food pot (ordered a second lobster alone too). The hot pot came with some pre-cooked items and then a mix of uncooked items. The lobster was overcooked and chewy and the shrimp were overcooked, while the rest was all right. I was anticipating though with the name that the lobster and shrimp would have been the highlight of the dish, and they were not. I would also add that it felt as though they bought the sea food medley directly from 99 ranch down the street for the remaining fish that were in the hot pot, and again did not even pre-prep them prior to throwing them in the pot.

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.

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.

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

Melody K.

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!

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.

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.

milky pot
An N.

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.

William L.

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!

Beef Hot Soup and Fried Chicken Wings
Meg C.

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!

There's some general outside seating, but the the shop is too small to have indoor seating (I ended up waiting for my drink outside because it can hold about 2 people before it gets awkward). The service itself is great--ordering and receiving my drink happened quickly, and the drink I ordered came with an osmanthus syrup that I could definitely taste (there were bits of the osmanthus in the drink, which could be a plus or minus depending on personal preference). The matcha was fragrant, and I did enjoy my drink. I will say that it does err on the pricy side, at around $7-9 per drink. I liked my drink, but maybe not enough to justify the cost, especially considering there isn't any space to sit down and relax. Definitely worth a shot if you're interested in some of their more unique items, but probably not a regular stop, at least for me.

Walked in on a Sunday at 7pm. Line going out the door. The only ordering kiosk doesn't work. There's an employee twiddling their fingers at the counter. Turns out you can order in person too, but no one is made aware of this. I walk to the cashier to tell them what I want. Surprise, turns out cash only is a thing in 2026. I hand them a twenty. They tell me AFTER ringing me up that they have no change. WTF. To be clear, this is not an employee problem. It is a training and operations protocol problem. That's owned by management. 30 minutes later, my drinks are done. No one calls my number--I just have to eye the pickup to make sure they're not swiped. They fumble with the drink cups as they load up my bag. I drive off and realize they've literally messed up every possible parameter. Too much ice (I asked for none). No extra boba (I paid for this). Each cup had maybe a teaspoon full tops (are they that desperate to scrape by?). And the drinks didn't even taste like anything. $9.00 for straight up 2% milk. They neglected to add a single other ingredient. One would have to actively try to screw up this bad. It was like the episode of the Simpsons where all of Springfield come together to rebuild Ned Flanders' house after the hurricane. The citizens were well-intentioned, even though they knew so little about what they were doing, they installed a toilet bowl next to the refrigerator. If you're a customer reading this and this location is your go-to Heytea, I'm sorry this flavorless disaster house is the only Heytea you've known. Would not be a stretch to say a six year old could run a lemonade stand more efficiently.
