Mala skewers with randomn meats
Nancy W.

I'm a bit disappointed that they raised their prices on all dishes . We ordered the beef hot pot and that is consistently pretty good. However, I decided to try a new item today "Mala skewers" it doesn't really tell me what is in there..so I kinda gave it a try. It comes about 8-10 skewers with some randomn beef, fish balls, 1 tofu, squids and some sausage. The beef bites on the skewers were okay but it's quiet over cooked and hard to chew on it. Won't order that again tho. Quite a bit disappointed on that part. I would still give them a 4 stars because of the consistency of their hot pots quality , plus randomn free drinks promo.. even with their price raise plus the bad experience on the skewers. However, I would probably not go there as often because of it too. Staff are friendly, place is decent clean.

Stinky Tofu Hotpot
Deborah L.

I love coming to Tasty Pot because their flavors feel nostalgic and it brings me back to my childhood in Taiwan. I always crave stinky tofu hotpot. Tasty Pot is the only place that has it, and it is so good. If you're not a fan of stinky tofu, don't worry. My friends who don't like it either order their other hotpots (beef, lamb) and rave about them too. You're able to choose whether you want vermicelli or a bowl of rice with your hotpot. If you come on a weekday for lunch, they include a free sweetened black or green tea.

Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup
Julie H.

I always get the Taiwanese Hot Pot in medium spice. This time I got it extra spicy, which I find it more flavorful. It doesn't lose too much flavor when they start refilling the broth. 1 pot is good to share for my daughter and I. We usually have leftovers as well for the next day. Service is pretty quick and everyone is super friendly. They started a new spin for a prize thing when you order through the QR and I won a free drink. I love that idea. A bonus to the meal that never disappoints.

Cheesy Milk Hot Soup
Stephanie O.

Super cute restaurant tucked in a small shopping center. While it can be tricky to get to with the one way roads it's absolutely worth coming by! Service was fantastic, I wished I had our server's name but he was very excited to hear it was our first time visiting and explained everything perfectly to us. Also explained each sauce available for us to try and have us great recommendations which to use with what in our bowls, Individually preset hot pot like bowls that are set up to perfection. Each bowl was flavored perfectly. The cheesy milk soup was surprisingly much better than I thought it would have been. The broth was absolutely delicious and balanced with the dairy flavor creating a savory soup i would not have normally thought would work. The Japanese miso was perfect with the variety of surf and turf in the pot. My friend and I were both pleasantly surprised each set up had a small flame to keep the soups hot. We were both also caught off guard how big each pot was. We probably could have easily shared a pot and appetizer and be perfectly comfortable.

Always love coming to eat here! Parking is a bit small and cramped, but I always find parking. Sometimes there is a wait to get seated during peak hours but never too long of a line. There is both in door and out door seating. You order on your phone by scanning the QR code on your table. These are individual pots that you can share and add more items onto or eat on your own. Each pot is a decent amount of food per person, but I don't think enough for 2 people unless you do some add ons. The individual pots come out ready to eat in this cool stand to keep the food hot. Typically the fire inside will burn until about halfway through your meal. My personal favorite ones are the beef hot soup and cheesy milk hot soup. Absolutely love the soybean sauce, there's also a chili oil and garlic soy sauce for dipping. For each pot you order, you get an option for a carb: rice or vermicelli. I usually get rice since sometimes there is already some vermicelli in the pot. They also have skewers and boba drinks.

Seafood pot
Christine H.

This is my fav tasty pot! Love coming here their broth is so fire. I always get the seafood one with Thai broth and add ramen and quail eggs. Service is also fast and everyone here is nice. We love to celebrate birthdays here as well they always accommodate our large group.

Healthy Veggie Hot Soup with Taiwanese spicy broth
Grace C.

It's always a great time when I come to tasty pot! I got the veggie soup with the Taiwanese spicy broth and it's always 10 out of 10. Service is great the food is delicious. It's such a hard place to beat. I had just come back from out of town and was in need of hot pot and tasty pot was all I was thinking about. It did not disappoint as expected, it never disappoints!

Beef Hot Soup
Ian A.

Been going to this place for a long time and it always hits! Definitely recommend the beef hot soup, it's my favorite.

Presh N.

It was raining and super windy, but my sister really wanted Tasty Pot for her birthday, so we went! Workers accommodated our party of 6 very quickly even though it was pretty busy. We ordered 5 pots, and sides and drinks came out fast. Staff was very helpful and efficient, which made everything run smoothly. Food was as good as always. Another birthday & Tasty Pot memory in the books!

Beef Hot Soup
Vivian T.

I went to Tasty Pot about 30 minutes after they opened, and there were already a good amount of people inside. As soon as you walk in, it smells really good, which immediately made me hungry. Service and ambiance We were greeted right away and sat at a pretty small table. I did think that was a little weird since there were bigger tables open and other parties of two were sitting at larger ones, but it wasn't a huge deal. Ordering is all done through a QR code on your phone. I actually liked this because it didn't feel rushed at all. Even with everything being digital, the servers still came around to check on us and offered to add more broth if we needed it. You also pay up front, so once you're eating, it feels pretty relaxed. Beef hot pot (Taiwanese spicy soup) The soup was really good and super comforting. The portion felt fair for what you're paying, and it came out piping hot and stayed hot the whole time on the flame. The broth had a nice level of spice, not too much, just right. It came with a lot of stuff in it, mushrooms, tofu, taro, beef, corn, clams, fish cake, bean curd, cabbage, and vermicelli noodles. I got rice on the side but barely touched it because the noodles were already filling. The only thing that threw me off was the beef. It tasted fine, but the slices were kind of bunched together, like they cooked too fast in the hot pot. Instead of feeling like separate slices, it felt more like a clump. Not bad, just not ideal. Lasting impressions Overall, it was a really solid lunch and especially nice on a colder day. Warm, filling, and comforting. The small table and beef texture stood out a little, but I'd still come back.

Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup
Allison L.

When you walk in it, it already smells SO good. We were greeted and sat right away. The menu is simple and easy to navigate, which I love. For lunch, you get a free side of rice or noodle AND a free green or black tea. I didn't have high expectations but both drinks exceeded those. We ordered other drinks from their boba menu but would honestly stick to the free ones next time. Seafood Lobster Hot Pot: * Subbed the broth for the Taiwanese broth * Great flavor * Lots of seafood * There's noodles included already but it's not that much so the extra side of noodles was great * Lobster was a little over cooked, I like mine on the softer side Sichuan Hot Pot: * I don't typically like Sichuan peppers and the way they tingle your tongue but this one was GOOD * If you love bold flavors, get this one * Lots of beef Kimchi Dumpling Hot Pot: * Smallest size * The dumplings were AMAZING - My favorite thing I ate from here Sizzling Beef Plate: * We got the black pepper flavor * Added cheese and egg * Nice flavor * Lots of rice * Needs more beef! Our server was really nice and helped with recommendations, but I forgot to get his name!

Stinky Tofu Hot Soup in the front
Christina H.

Servers here are so kind and attentive. They came by multiple times to refill our water and our broth. They also checked in multiple times in case our pot fire went out or if we needed anything. It was not overly busy that night, but still a full dining room of guests indoors. I got the stinky tofu hot pot. It has some good variety of toppings, all which are precooked before bringing to the table. Everything matches the description on their menu. There is 1 free rice or noodles included aside from the noodles already in the pot. Spice level and different broth can also be chosen when ordering. Order using the QR code! I would like to try other pot flavors the next time I come here.

Beef Hot Soup
Loan N.

This is our go-to hotpot spot whenever the weather cools down. We've experimented with the menu, but we always find ourselves coming back to our two absolute favorites: #1 Beef and #9 Taiwanese. You can't go wrong with either. Both are flavorful, consistent, and hit the spot every time. Must have add-on: quail eggs--they are the perfect addition to the broth! Pro-Tip for Service: They give you the option to order via a QR code at the table or wait for a server. Hint: Use your phone! The service is significantly quicker when you submit the order digitally. Even if you order on your phone, the staff is incredibly attentive. You don't need to flag anyone down for refills. They are proactive about coming by to top off your water and broth throughout the meal. Reliable, delicious, and great service. Highly recommend!

Does anyone know when they will be opening for Dine in?

Yes patio seating 8/27/20

Do they still offer their stamp card?

No, they utilize the "fivestars" program. You can exchange points for a free drink or I think they had a phone holder for your car last time I was in. I usually save 10 points so I can get a free hotpot. https://www.fivestars.com/

What time does lunch prices end?

3 pm

Are the servings large enough to share? Do they allow sharing? Curious if 2 orders would be enough for 3 people.

My wife and I often observe folks leaving much on their plate when they go. So if you are in that mold, then 2 orders would be enough for 3.… 

Anyone cares to say what these hot pots cost? Their menu is BLANK about price. What is it?

The prices are on the top right corner. But the prices range from 12-20 bucks depending on time and pot

I would say they give you a pretty decent amount, good enough to share a large with someone else. This recent visit, I ordered their 'Karate Chicken' which is just spicy popcorn chicken. I like it, not the best popcorn chicken I've had, but I like it. I'm not sure what the chicken marinade is, but if they use soy sauce in their marinade, I can definitely taste it. Too much of that for my liking, but not too much to the point where it doesn't taste good or to the point where i won't order it again. One other thing about the chicken, is I wish they would fry their basil. Instead it's just a fresh basil that gets dark and wilted from the hot chicken. I think it would really compliment the food better. Lastly, I do wish they can fill up their sauce containers. We were half way done eating our food and used up the 2 sauces it came with. PLEASE Tastea, you give us a decent amount of pieces, can we please have enough sauce to go with it? Other than my take on their food, I would say the workers are friendly. Inside are a handful of tables and it was clean and tidy when i went. However, I do notice every time i go, their trash is full LOL. There menu is huge too, I love that their menu includes how many calories there are in their drinks... Maybe that is why I don't order drinks haha. Well, on the bright side, I did see some sugar free options ;)

We chose to sit down since we also wanted to try their food along with the drinks. For drinks, my husband ordered the matcha boba and I got the taro with boba. Both were really good--the flavors actually come through, not watered down or too sweet. I also really liked the texture of the ice; it was finely crushed, which made the drinks extra enjoyable. The cups themselves were also really cute and well-designed. For food, I ordered the breaded pork in teriyaki sauce with rice, which also came with three side dishes. It included pickled cucumber (which was really good), a stir-fried cabbage and carrot mix, and another stir-fried vegetable I wasn't familiar with but still enjoyed. My kids especially liked the teriyaki sauce. We also tried the chicken popcorn and my husband ordered the pork chop, which had that authentic Taiwanese bento-style taste we were hoping for. One thing I really appreciated is that they included small bowls for the kids and extra utensils without us even asking--that was a thoughtful touch and definitely a plus for me. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The food felt authentic, the drinks were solid, and service was fast. We're definitely planning to come back again with the whole family.
