    Sesame Balls
    Jemiah J.

    Located in a large plaza with a decent-sized parking lot, Tasty Pot is a good hot pot spot. I especially enjoyed the sesame balls, they were my favorite. The soybean sauce added a lot of flavor to my hot pot, and their appetizers were also delightful. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and charming.

    #7 KIMCHI DUMPLING HOT SOUP
    Scott T.

    I whine a lot about Chinese-ish American food, but this place in Oceanside is NOT making the list. I enjoy a steaming hot bowl of mostly stuff I can't identify that tastes really good. nobody in the TASTY POT kitchen went out of their way to dumb-down the ingredient list for American palates. we started with the POPCORN CHICKEN and FIRECRACKER SHRIMP both standard appetizers we've eaten at dozens of other places. but, after that, we took a log walk on an unfamiliar side of the street. 2 quick disclosures: I REALLY like spicy food but ordered medium and figured I could spike things with the condiments which included chili oil as needed. not needed. even their medium SPICY HOT SOUPS are plenty spicy. also, servings are oversized and budget friendly for sharing or grazing on the next day. these are the three soups we ordered and their long list of ingredients: #9 TAIWANESE SPICY HOT SOUP (Taiwanese cabbage, instant noodles, sliced beef, beef tendon, enoki mushrooms, clams, fuzhou fishballs, cuttlefish rings, pork blood rice cake, pork intestines, fried tofu skins, brown beech mushrooms, tofu, imitation crabmeat, meatball, sour mustard greens, fried tofu puff, cilantro, and scallions in a pork bone broth). #7 KIMCHI DUMPLING HOT SOUP (Taiwanese cabbage, sliced pork, kimchi, dumplings, vermicelli, mini sausage, shrimp, enoki mushrooms, kamaboko, tempura, clam, fuzhou fishballs, soft tofu, fried tofu skin, zucchini, imitation crabmeat, egg, and scallions in a pork bone broth). #4 CURRY FLAVOR HOT SOUP (Napa cabbage, sliced pork, vermicelli, tomato, corn, egg, enoki mushrooms, imitation crabmeat, kamaboko, fishballs, fried tofu skin, tempura, Chinese string beans, golden fishballs, king oyster mushrooms, eggie fishballs, lobster balls, and scallions in a pork bone broth). all were good. reminder for next time: get extra beef tendons -- love the unctuous texture.

    My friend and I came here because we were craving hot pot. It was not busy when we came during dinner time on a Friday night. Service was really good. You scan a QR code for the menu and can order and pay from your phone. We ordered sesame balls and basil popcorn chicken to start. We both really enjoyed the appetizers. I ordered the beef hot soup for my main course and got it super spicy. The spice level and flavor was good however, I felt there was too much cabbage and not enough noodles.

    I was so disappointed this time. I took my friend since I told her such great things about my last visit. This time it was not good. We ordered the calamari. It was so salty we couldn't eat it. The owner took it off our tab. We ordered the Japanese miso hot pot. There was no flavor to the broth at all. Luckily they have sauces to fix it a little. The place was empty and the owner just sat and ate and didn't come by. Very unwelcoming. My friend says she won't be back. I'm not sure I will be either. The happy hour is not great. They just give you half an order.

    I just had this Tasty Pot today and wowy wow it was super delicious. My friends have been telling me about hot pot and were overjoyed when I heard about this place. The staff were very friendly and inviting and attentive as well. The place was very clean and I love the decor. Okay the food, was amazing. I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach because I ordered extra add ons. I got the Beef Hot Soup in mild with rice on the side. For add ons I got extra beef and extra meat ball. I also got the fried tofu. Everything looked and smelled amazing. It was flavorful and very appealing to the eye presentation wise. Pricing is not bad, I feel it's on par with hot pot places. You order from the app which is really nice but they also got menus if you're not tech savvy. All in all I gotta say from my first time my opinion on the place is it's 10/10. It's great that we finally got a Tasty Pot in Oceanside. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

    This is an update review. They have now been operating some time. We can tell they are increasingly popular. In the shared parking lot with walmart there is hardly any parking lots available now. We were seated immediately and served immediately. They have online ordering, menus and even just taking verbal orders now. Our server was super nice. We got two sets of hot pots. - Taiwan spicy hotpot - customised seafood sichuan hot pot. And a set of egg rolls We were served our food within 10 min of ordering food was nice and hot. Lots of ingredients in the soup and fresh. Mine had intestines and blood sausage rice and it was fantastic. The egg rolls were nice and crispy fresh out of the pan. My husband's was good as well because I stole from him. The seafood was incredibly fresh. I might want to add though that perhaps for the lobster they may want to slice it more so that it is easier to remove from the shell. Unfortunately because we are moving out of town. This might be the last time we are here. We will miss them a lot!! Thanks for a wonderful night of delicious food and wonderful service.

    Oceanside California now has a great Taiwanese Hotpot Spot named Tasty Pot Oceanside. I was able to check them out and now I can say that I've thoroughly enjoyed delicious hotpot! Tasty Pot Oceanside is a brand that is already established north of Oceanside and throughout the Riverside area. They have a formula that has been working for them and it shows. Tasty Pot Oceanside is located off of Mission Ave., just west of the 5 Hwy, and within the Walmart Shopping Center. My first observation is that parking may be a little difficult, especially when the shared lot gets crowded. I'm just glad that, to my experience, the timed-restricted parking spaces aren't really enforced. I was able to park up for 2.5 hours for dinner. The interior decor is really simple , trendy & cute. It definitely leans into casual dining, so no need to get dressed up. It's spacious enough and great for group seating and family dinners. The music was trendy and upbeat and the lighting is bright. The service is excellent, fast and friendly. I love their selection of Japanese Soju flavors & they have a solid % content to boot; try lychee! In addition, they also carry Premium Lager. For appetizers, I had their Chicken Cartilage and it was excellent! It's crispy with that salty pepper finish. I also ordered the Fermented Tofu (aka Stinky Tofu). I loved both of these dishes. Dinner was a medley of: 1 cheese hot pot 2 lamb hot pot 3 Veggie Hot Pot 4 curry hot pot And they were all divine! I admittedly didn't think much of the veggie, but I believe that all the delicious flavors from the others outshined in this parade; but I am definitely glad they have it as an option. What I REALLY love about Tasty Pot Oceanside is that they have discounts for students, teachers AND our military! But please keep in mind their business hours. They open early, but then closed for lunch and then re-open for dinner. Consider calling to confirm they are opened if just swinging through. Overall, I love Tasty Pot Oceanside as an addition of diversification to our city's eclectic dining options.

    SEAFOOD LOBSTER HOT SOUP ,TAIWANESE SUPREME HOT SOUP, CURRY FLAVOR HOT SOUP
    Marilyn G.

    On our way home I suddenly crave for Hot Soup. Usually, I stop by the Tasty Pot at Mira Mesa but I can't wait any more to have something warm in my Stomach. So we decided to try the TASTY POT in OCEANSIDE. Upon arriving I noticed the place was small but we still stayed because I know Tasty Pots are good. It was in October when we went and I believe it was their 1 year anniversary being open so they have that special that month that the third soup was half off. We ordered what we usually get which are : * CURRY FLAVOR HOT SOUP * SEAFOOD LOBSTER HOT SOUP *TAIWANESE SUPREME HOT SOUP All the soups were good, my Favorite is the THAIWANESE SUPREME HOT SOUP. We choose not to have them spicy so my Son can eat some of our soup too, there's spices anyway on the side you can add if you like them spicy. All are soups were as good as I expected, but I feel like the Mira Mesa branch had more amount of ingredients in their soup. But customer service wise this location all the staff are very nice and attentive. We will still make a stop here to eat since their food and service are good here.

    I'm glad one came up to North County! We need more hot pot places. It's a little different from what I remembered about the one in SD, this one serves other apps. We went with the popcorn chicken and it was one of the best one I've tried! So crunchy. They even fry the skin. I do wish we can change the spice level, like have the chili powder like in boba shops. As for the hot pot, prices start around $20ish. I got the large Taiwanese house one and it came with everything. Lots of cabbage but lots of meats too. I liked all the meats except the intestine one and blood cake. Next time I'll ask without it. Great flavors! You can even add spice to it with the several sauces on the side. Service was friendly. Place was empty around 1-2. I love hot pot!! Now wish there's an all you can eat one.

    8. Thai Flavor Hot Soup
    Olivia S.

    The establishment was clean with plenty of seating. We made reservations and were seated immediately. Our waiter was wonderful, very friendly, made us laugh, and so prompt with topping off our beverages. 10/10 service. The food! My boyfriend and I got the Taiwanese hot pot, it was full of goodies, the broth (medium) was packed with rich flavor. Perfectly spicy. I loved the baby octopus. I got the Thai hot pot (medium) again full of flavor, perfect kick of spice, and full of little goodies to find in each little corner. I loved about every little thing in it except the intestines but that's just not my thing. 10/10 I'm coming back.

    Seafood hotpot

    Had a lovely dinner with the wife. I had the seafood hotpot and she had the Taiwan spicy hotpot. We loved them both. The staff was very attentive and quick to help.

    I'm a regular at the Tasty Pot in Mira Mesa and happened to on the way home from LA. I was craving hot pot but didn't want to make a detour into Irvine as those restaurants are usually packed. I was originally thinking of going towards Mira Mesa for Tasty Pot but this location popped up on google maps and it is right off the freeway! A few details such as the bowls are slightly different but the taste is relatively the same. This tasty pot was exactly what I needed on my drive back to San Diego. The service was fast, friendly, and the restaurant itself is very clean and has plenty of seats. Since this does seem like a relatively new restaurant it doesn't have much of a clientele yet. So if you come here there probably won't be much of a wait.

    We are big fans of the Tasty Pot in Miramesa and we were excited when they opened one in Oceanside. Although they are the same franchise, the main dishes are the same but they do v do have many other options available. The great thing about the Oceanside location is they have a ton of appetizers, as well as Soju. Flavor of the pots are similar to Miramesa however, the pots in Miramesa have a little bit more flavor in my opinion. They do come close though, and are worth saving me a 45 minute drive to Mira Mesa. The owner is usually there and she's a very friendly lady, customer service is top-notch in this location, which is an advantage compared to the Mira Mesa location . This location is pretty clean and the atmosphere is decent, not over Classy or fast foodish. However, I don't like the you only get two napkins with your meal and have to ask for more. That always bugs me no matter where I go. All in all the Mira Mason location has a little bit better flavor in their pots, but the Oceanside location has better customer service with more appetizers and options available. Will definitely come in!

Gotta get in our greens! (I really wanted the Spinach with garlic but was told they sold out yesterday.) Everything was delicious. We even ordered one more Xiao Long Bao! What I really liked about the dumplings was that the exterior did not break when grabbed with chopsticks. Pliable. Soup stayed in the dumpling until I pierced it. (At Joyee, many times dumplings stick to the paper and rips. Soup spills out. The dough can be a little chewy.) We also had tea with our meal. My husband with the Taro Milk Tea with Boba and me with the Tropica Fruit Tea. My tea was quite refreshing. I forget everything that's in it but there's jasmine tea with a mix of fruit tea, a mint leaf, and pieces of fruit - strawberry, blueberry, pineapple. My husband enjoyed his drink too. Boba was nice and chewy. Dumplings were being made as we were leaving. Who doesn't love freshly made dumplings?! Almost forgot to mention that the service was great. The employee was very friendly and helpful. Stop by and support this small business!

My nephew likes noodles but without alot of flavor so this dish was perfect for him. The fried dumplings were crispy on the bottom with juicy filling inside--exactly what you want. We also got the steamed chicken with chili oil, which was tender and coated in that classic fragrant, slightly spicy chili oil that adds so much flavor without being too heavy. The green onion pancake was another favorite--crispy, flaky, and airy. It tasted freshly made.
