I came into Tasty Pot after an awful appointment. I was in a sour mood, but eating here really cheered me up! We drove down from SLO and I was craving hotpot since there's not much asian food where I'm at. The server working on Saturday afternoon was so friendly and helpful! He was the only one working but he got us everything we needed and even bussed all the tables himself. I was really impressed that he could handle the whole store himself and still keep up a really positive attitude!! The food was really good! Compared to SoCal, it might be considered average, but when you compare it to anything in the central coast (esp north) it's really tasty!! We talked about coming back any time we have some business out here! It was relatively quiet and peaceful. I think we went in during a slow time, but I'm glad we did! read more

I first tried Tasty Pot in NorCal, but at the time I wasn't impressed due to the numerous options available there. It also doesn't provide that traditional hotpot experience which I find much more enjoyable. However in VC options are limited, so when I saw Tasty Pot recently opened I was quite ecstatic! There were 12 different pots and 5 spicy levels to choose from. Pot numbers 1-7 were smaller size and numbers 8-12 were larger size pots. Except for the Healthy Veggie pot, all the soup base was pork broth. Most of the pots also had very similar ingredients, the difference I could see were the main protein choice and soup flavor. They also have another menu for rice and noodle options if you didn't want to do the personal pots. We got the Taiwanese Supreme in mild and the Seafood Lobster in medium. We also got a side of quail eggs. The pots arrived with a candle of some sort below to keep it hot. Both pots were of the larger size and filled with lots of food. The mild was the perfect level of spicy for me, a hint of spice that does not overpower the original flavor of the ingredients, rather it enhanced each one and made it more tasty. Service was good, our server came by frequently to check on us and to refill the soup. At one point the flame under the pot had already gone out but we hadn't cook the noodles so we requested another flame. We were told they had to bring the pot back to the kitchen to heat it up. So I guess the flame was there to just keep the pot warm rather than actually cooking. Although this cannot compare to the traditional hotpot, this personal hotpot is still a very good option and helps to satisfy my craving. read more

Tasty Pot was an excellent dinner choice, and id say this place is a step up from Boiling Point. The server was friendly and the restaurant was clean. There were about 17 options from beef, lamb, kimchi, Curry, tom, yum, making it difficult to choose but I ended up choosing the Taiwanese Supreme, which came with a huge variety of meats and vegetables. I got the medium spice level, which was still pretty hot for me, so order accordingly! We paired our meal with their milk teas; while the tea flavor was solid, the boba texture was a little hard/not as QQ as id like. Regardless of the boba, the hot pot was phenomenal, in terms of taste and the generous serving size! I will definitely be back. read more

Tried the Japanese Miso with a side of Calamari this time. The miso tasted weird, a bit on the sour side. The meat and overall meal was not very tasty. The calamari with the sweet sauce was not bad, although it was a bit soggy. Definitely not the best experience I've hard here but I would say the server and service was A+. Was even tempted to bump this review up to a 4 for them but I have to refrain to focusing on the food this time. read more

Rare find in Oxnard to have an authentic Taiwanese Chinese "hot pot" restaurant. Twelve varieties of hot pot choices each one easily feeds two to three. The eclectic menu is not like a typical Chinese restaurant, but much more healthy, delicious and reasonably priced for the size of servings. As a Chinese person, I would recommend and will revisit. read more

Great service! Food was delicious and accommodating to allergies! :) Upon entering, we were given a choice of where we want to sit (which i really appreciate), there were a good amount of people but not too much where we had to wait long for our service. Everything was reasonably priced and the staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and food items. Had a great first experience here, i will recommend and revisit :) read more

It's always nice to find a good Asian restaurant in the 805. It's even better when the staff speaks your native language (Vietnamese). This is a very good option if you want to have tasty hot pot without the guilt of an All You Can Eat restaurant. The service on a weekday lunch was very quick and not crowded. The soup ingredients are fresh and delicious. You can always add more ingredients with the à la carte menu. And the broth is amazingly smooth and comforting. I ordered the very spicy level and still enjoyed the broth, not too hot. The restaurant is large and clean, we have no complaints about this location and look forward to returning. read more

This restaurant does justice for any hot pot cravings you might have. My family and I decided to try this place for the first time and we were all satisfied at the end of our meal. The staff seemed to be very friendly and attentive to our needs but there is also an option to order without talking to staff (if that is your vibe). Will be back again! read more

Tasty Pot - kimchi dumpling hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Oxnard, California

So glad to have a Taiwanese hot pot place in Oxnard! I've been anxiously awaiting their grand opening and have been coming back at least once a month. They have a variety of hot pot sets that come with broth, meat and/or veggies and/or seafood. You can pick your spice level. I really like their Beef, Seafood, and Curry hot pots. Mild is the perfect level of spice for me. However, as a warning, when the soup is boiling, it'll taste spicier. If you dine in, they'll serve the hot pot in a cute set up where it sits over an open flame. The food is also good if you order for takeout and pick up or use DoorDash. They also have different drinks and boba. I've tried their Rose Matcha Latte a couple times and it's been just ok. Can't really taste the matcha and the boba has been way too soft both times. Service has been excellent. Staff is friendly and they come around to check on you. You can ask them to refill your broth if you need more. Tables are clean and never had to wait. Lots of parking in the plaza. One thing to note is that they do stop serving new customers at least half an hour before they close. read more

I've ordered a couple of things to go so far. I've tried the kimchi hot pot and the Taiwanese supreme spicy hot. I loved the kimchi hot pot it was filled with veggies and very generous serving. the Taiwanese supreme spicy is pretty good as well. Lots of beef and veggies. I also ordered the beef sizzling with rice, it's good but it's not worth the price for the serving size. The hot pot are worth it, but might be better if you eat it at the restaurant. The service is good, they are pretty fast. The ambience is very family friendly. Nothing negative to say, it is the ONLY decent hot pot in the entire city of Oxnard and Ventura. read more

Tasty Pot - Taiwanese - Hot Pot Near Me - Oxnard, California

The ongoing growth of Asian cuisine in Oxnard over the last few years has been great for those of us who have travelled for good eats. Tasty Pot is a spot that we have always wanted to visit and glad that this Taiwanese experience is now here. This is yummy and I'm so happy that we tried it. Service was great and we were well attended to. Food came out quick and the staff were definitely pleasant. Decent amount of seating available inside the restaurant. Started to fill up around dinner time. Glad to see they had traffic - we need this plate to succeed. Portions are deceptively large. I had the Kimchi dumplings pot and it was incredible. 10/10. Next time, I'll be getting the same thing. Extra Spicy Heat was not overwhelming head but added a ton of flavor. Those dumplings were perfect. Rice cake, fish ball and an egg. Didn't go wrong. I also mixed all 4 sauces provided in this. Mouth is watering thinking about it. My wife loved her Japanese Miso - medium heat. She says she would get the same thing again. My daughter would get her beef pot again. My son enjoyed the cheesy milk but said he would try something different next time. Thought he would like this as he is a fan of the military stew at Ragin Pot in Hueneme but this didn't hit the same. The kids said their Thai Teas were very good. Looking forward to coming back here. read more

Love a great soup spot!!! Tasty Pot is consistent no matter the location. This one we went to since we were in town. Had a bigger party and was able to call and make a reservation no problem. The staff was attentive and kind. The soup was so delish! Burned my tongue a bit, but so worth it. Would definitely grub here again! read more

I was helping out in Oxnard for the afternoon, and seeing that the day was gloomy and cold. I immediately thought of something warm to eat. To my surprise, Tasty Pot was close to where I was supposed to be at and well, after sitting in 2 hours of traffic, I was hungry. Tasty Pot is right off the 101 Freeway on Vineyard and located in a strip mall alongside a boba shop and Carls Jr. Arriving at around noon on a Friday, parking was incredibly easy as I got a spot right in front with plenty of spaces around. The restaurant is clean and well kept with a large space. Parties of 10+ will not have a problem here. Sitting down and ordering, I got the beef pot (medium hear) with rice with a side of extra beef and quail eggs. Since it is lunch it came with a free tea, which to me was a wonderful surprise. The hot put came out with a burner along with my additions. Let me start with the broth. So tasty, clean aftertaste, oh and they refill it! The beef itself was well done and along with the additions (mushrooms, tofu, cabbage) filled me up. Safe to say, my hunger was well satisfied. For a rating I would give it 8/10. The broth really won me over, but I feel that the beef shavings needed a bit more flavor. They have multiple types of bowls, so I would recommend either coming with friends, or multiple visits! Look forward to the next visit! read more

Amazing hot pot place! I tried the Thai Hot pot and beef Hot pot and they were both delicious. the base is a pork broth and they add flavoring for each specific choice. plenty of meat and veggies and 4 different choices to for a custom made dipping sauce. Also tried theirmulk tea and it was pretty good. There was a sign on the window that stated free tea with lunch but we didn't receive any. May be you have to ask for it? staff is very nice and attentive and the location was clean. Plenty of parking. read more

I love that Tasty Pot has come to Oxnard! My friends and I came during opening week (opening day actually) and we had a fabulous time. Always impressed when a new restaurant can fully execute A+ service and a phenomenal dining experience on opening day. This spot will only get better with time but they are already off to an amazing start. My friends and I wandered in around 5pm and were able to get sat immediately. It's seat yourself. This restaurant isn't too big so I'm sure there will be longer wait times the more that people start to learn about this place. Restaurant was clean and inviting. I loved the decor with cute little lights and the artwork / painting behind the counter was cool. The menu is pretty big with hotpot options, additional toppings, appetizers and drinks. Ordering is a little more unique as you scan a barcode on your table and then place your order that way. Once you are done eating you would pay at the counter. This ordering system had to be explained to us because at first we weren't exactly sure what to do but now we know and it's easy peasy. Plus if you are reading this you now have the advantage of you know how it works :). Prices seemed very reasonable for the amount of food that we were given. Definitely come hungry because the hotpot's are a lot of food! To start I had a peached iced tea with 75% sweetness and it was so delicious. I love a good sweet tea. Very refreshing and compliments the hotpot well. Lots of boba teas and fun drink options here. My friend got a taro drink which also looked pretty tasty. A good tea is definitely 5/5 always in my book. For my hotpot I opted for the classic mild beef pot. Definitely a comforting dish. I love how loaded all of the proteins and toppings are in this soup. The broth was very very light. Normally I'm more of rich broth type of a girl (like a ramen) but having something on the lighter side was nice. Good flavor to the broth but to kick it up a notch I added a little bit of garlic and chili oil. The beef was tender and I really liked the clams, mushrooms and cabbage in my soup. Pro tip: get the side of white rice - loved adding it to the soup for some needed thickness. I'd say hotpot was about a 4/5 for me. Comforting and unique for me as I had never tried it before. Staff and service were very warm and friendly. You could tell the staff were eager to help and excited about opening day. I thought everyone here did a great job and made us feel welcome. Tasty Pot is well worth a trip if you are a local or visiting the Oxnard area. A fun new restaurant to try and I'd love to come back to try some different soup bases and toppings. read more

Made it in on Opening Day. I was immediately greeted and shown a seat ! Large space with tons of seating ! So many pots to choose from! They also offer Boba drinks ! Appetizers like Fried Chicken ... calamari , dumplings and etc. Only negative , the shrimp isn't deveined and I couldn't eat that. I hope in the future, they consider cleaning the shrimp out. I ordered the #8 ( medium spice) and it was spicy . I liked my soup overall . So excited they are finally open ! read more

I am a first timer coming to hotpot. It is definitely a great experience to try it at least once. They have lots of options but I decided to try the seafood lobster. It is perfect for cold day or feeling under the weather. You can customize it to your liking as well as the spiciness! To me is similar to caldo with lots of veggies and your choice of meat. It was very flavorful and just right for my spicyness (got a level 2). Staff were very welcoming and they even come around offering more broth. These are large meals and very filling so I had to take the rest of mine home. It is a great restaurant to come in and enjoy a delicious hot meal. I also had the calamari appetizer and was very tasty I just wish I had not finished it so soon. read more

Finally it's open! I saw the sign posted outside which felt like half a year ago so I was super excited to hear that tasty pot opened. The restaurant inside is actually really spacious with a lot of tables and everything seems clean. The employees were welcoming and nice. We got the curry hot pot and beef hot pot. My curry hot pot really did feel homey. It was super flavorful and they did not cheap out on the toppings. My one concern was how small the amount of rice they give. It seemed like half a cups worth. Other places would give you an entire bowl full of rice. And it was extra charge for more rice. The popcorn chicken also had a small portion, but it was super fresh and crispy. Also, the price for one hot pot is $20, which is much more expensive than tasty pot hot pot in LA. I would definitely still come back again if I am craving hot pot since it's so close. read more

This restaurant just opened and it is definitely worth a try! This is pretty much the equivalent of Boiling Point and I'm glad that a hotpot restaurant finally opened in the area! We came in around 7 PM on a weekday and there was no wait with 3-4 other tables inside. Upon being seated, the server was so nice and recommended us a few of the hotpot options he's tried before. He seemed really excited to be there and was telling us about the soft opening a few days ago. The servers were very attentative. The restaurant is not too big but had a nice ambiance. I can see this place having a long wait time once it's more established in the area. FOOD: We ordered the kimchi dumpling hotpot, lamb hotpot, and popcorn chicken. Like boiling point, they give you sauces on the side for you to add/dip your food. Our favorite was the soy garlic sauce, but we thought it wasn't garlic-y enough. The soup base seemed kind of diluted to me and was not as flavorful as I expected it to be. It came with a good portion of proteins and toppings in the hotpot! The popcorn chicken pieces were slightly small and didn't have basil like normal Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It didn't have the basil taste that we love. Overall, all of the food was solid and we will be back to try the other hotpot flavors. The hotpots were about $20-$25 each and the popcorn chicken was about $8. It's a tad bit pricier than I expected, especially compared to the typical Boiling Point in LA. But since it's the only hotpot restaurant in the area, the price is justified. read more

Finally! Finally! Finally! I have been waiting for this place to open since I saw the sign on the building. Today was the soft opening. I ordered my hotpot with the lamb and Sichuan broth. I love Sichuan spice , sometimes places will have "sichuan" on the menu, but it is not the real deal. I was very happy with how the flavor was for the broth very authentic. I also enjoyed the refreshing winter melon and lemon juice made in house. The service staff were very nice and refilled our soup broth. I think the staff may be friends and family because they seem very cordial to one another. It is always nice to see when a business's staff getting along well. I also like the contemporary feel you get dining inside from the decor to the utensils and pots serving the soup. Thank you for opening in ventura county, we have been needing a restaurant like this for a very long time now. read more

My favorite individual hot pot place now opened in Oxnard?! I'm so so glad that I didn't have to drive an hour to enjoy my favorite food and can I say they are one of the most generous hot pot places I have ever been to? I still had a good amount of meat left and my coworker could barely finish half of her meal and she packed the rest which was good enough for another meal. I also like that they offered complimentary tea after we ordered. The food came quickly and be careful that everything is pretty hot especially tofu, fish balls and my pot was a bit overflowing. Again not complaining for how much food it was there lol Overall my lunch experience was great and I will come back for more. read more

What a great renovation! After so long, I didn't think they were going to open Went with a group of 4 on a Sunday, early afternoon. I say this because we nearly had the place to ourselves (if you don't like crowds, because they def showed up as we left). Ordered: *Appetizers: calamari & takoyaki *Meals: Lamb, Beef, Curry The food was BOMB and you get A TON of it. I had to take mine home from being so stuffed. You also get to choose your spice level. This place is awesome. Love the touches of Oxnard they drew on the walls (forgot to take a pic). Felt simultaneously chill & upscale. Great for large groups. Bathrooms are SUPER clean. *Small Con -really hated the music choices for the setting. As much as I loved my highschool era, some of that music needs to play elsewhere. *SUPER Bonus -our waiter was extremely professional. Our group made is slightly confusing when it came to payment. After taking our cards & cash, he admitted to being confused and brought it all back so we could redo our payments. We appreciated the honesty, again, it was our fault. Forgot to get his name, but thank you for your transparency & professionalism read more

Been to this place a few times it's always good until the most recent visit. Wasn't sure why they decided to start using lower quality meat. Broth is good! It's a solid 5/5 for broth but the beef shredded/broken into pieces and it's really impossible to enjoy it which makes it 1/5 for me. (To me hot pot beef is only good if it's fatty thin pieces, this place does it in a way that they are broken into small pieces and really hard to eat.) Service is good. I genuinely enjoy their broth and selection of items! Just really hope they can do something about the meat quality! read more

Big shoutout to Tang from Chakaa Tea House for recommending his new spot--Tasty Pot in Oxnard--because wow, this place is a 10 out of 10 across the board! I tried the Kimchi Dumplings, and let me tell you, they were bursting with flavor--perfectly spiced, cooked just right, and filled with that rich, comforting kick that only really good kimchi can bring. You can feel the quality in every bite. This wasn't just good food--it was memorable food. The overall experience? Fantastic. From the moment I walked in, everything from the ambiance to the service made me feel like I was in for something special--and it absolutely delivered. You can tell Tang and his family put their heart into this place, just like they did with Chakaa. I'm definitely coming back, and I can't wait to try more of the menu. Thanks again, Tang, for the solid recommendation--Tasty Pot is a must-visit! read more

So far, this is the only place I know of that serves taiwanese style popcorn chicken--and it's good! If you're coming for the hot pot, though, it's quite disappointing. Everything is preboiled and served to you rather than having the real hot pot experience. Nothing is delivered raw for you to cook, and there is no build-your-own sauce bar. The sauces they provide are very limited (no vinegar?) There's a variety of hot pot contents to choose from and you can ask for certain things to be removed or added, but overall, it's not the hot pot you're looking for. Clean place, lots of space, and the food tastes fine--but the serving size, price, and experience are not anything worth coming back for. read more

Solid Hot Pot! Hot pot is for individual serving. But shared Sichuan hot pot with significant other for dinner (since we had a big lunch). The Hot Pot was delicious and spicy on mild mode - my nitpick is red meat was a not as soft as I prefer. But everything else in the pot was to my taste. It was plentiful with shared Takoyaki appetizer and shared Hokkaido Milk Tea drink we had. Appetizer was filling and drink was very large - good portion value. Lunch and Dinner prices are different ($1-2 difference). Hot Pot dinner was $21-26 depending on the hot pot selection. Takoyaki was $8, Hokkaido Milk Tea with Boba was $7. About $52 including 18% tip and tax. Polite and responsive customer service. We were quite satisfied for a dinner date / trying out a new place in town. It's rare to get hot pot here. Would definitely come again with family and friends! read more

Japanese Miso: 10/10 holy smokes this is so good on its own. Tons of meat and a good amount of veggies with udon noodles. Awesome broth. Sichuan: 8/10 added medium spice. Good flavors, nice amount of mixed meat n veggies. Felt like it was missing something but idk what? Either way its good Calamari: 10/10 (DIFFERENT SEASONING ) its not your typical calamari seasoning that you're probably used to in restaurants in SoCal but my god its so good. Very tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned nicely Popcorn chicken: 8/10 same seasoning as the calamari, it works so well but tbh the calamari is just so good Place: - Very filling, each bowl can feed TWO people at least - Its really warm inside sometimes - I think the menu is a bit confusing a bit? One bowl comes with a free iced tea (green/black) and one side (rice/noodle) and i didnt see that there so i was confused when he asked what tea i wanted with it - kinda wished the chopsticks are the disposable ones - they have a bathroom Overall: - I need a nap after this and we will be coming back for sure!

Total rating: 3.93 Service: 4 stars - The servers were doing well, attentive to a satisfactory level, and moved quickly. Food: 3.8 stars - the food was good, however, we ordered spicy (for fried rice and male hotpot) and 1 medium spicy level (pad thai). The spicy level between each "spicy" dishes were noticeable. The mala hotpot of was somewhat mild while the fried rice was very spicy (which we liked, it did challenge us a bit though. We didn't mind as it was good). Medium was not spicy at all. The pad thai beef was quiet tough. Ambience: 4 stars Nice place. Much better than average. read more

I'm from out of town and had to drive through the area, which is frequent for me. I had been craving hot pot lately as I don't have any where I live. I found Tasty Pot online, saw that they were new, and figured I'd give them a shot. My boyfriend and I were so happy we did! The lunch prices (and dinner) are wonderful for all the food you get! We split the miso and had a full container of leftovers. We even received complimentary iced teas that were so good! The taro is amazing as well. The hot pot was so flavorful and filled to the brim with so many delicious goodies! Things we have never tried and we didn't have a single thing we didn't like. We left very satisfied but not feeling like we had over eaten. I will say that the mild spice is more of a medium level, so if you are lacking spice tolerance, definitely get no spice and use the provided chili oil instead. Our server was super friendly and helpful. We will be making this a regular stop when passing the area read more
