Lamb - Mild Spice
Canary H.

It was my first time at a Tasty Pot in general. It was very interesting to see a hot pot location in Temecula of all places. On a Saturday night, this place wasn't completely full; I'd say half of the restaurant was still available for seating. They seated us immediately and had told us to scan the QR codes for the menu. You also submit your orders online so it goes straight to the kitchen. I ended up ordering their lamb hot pot, mildly spicy with a Hazy IPA to go with my meal. I also got rice but you have the option for vermicelli. When I received my meal, it already had a flame on the bottom. Within my pot there were slices of lamb, lots of lattice, a cube of purple rice (?), fish balls, meat balls, and more. To go along with my pot, they had three sauces you can use for your meal: garlic ponzu, spicy bean curd, or a spicy chili oil. Overall, I'd like to say the service was exceptional. They checked on us and offered to refill our pots with soup. My reason for the three stars is the good quality. I've had my share of different hot pot places and experiences, and I try to taste the quality in their vegetables, meat, and fish/meat balls. Their quality isn't top tier and I can taste it in the quality of the ball. They fill your pots with lots of cabbage, but the pot itself was lacking. The taste and quality of meat wasn't great nor was the soup. I'd say it's not bad for the Temecula area, but it could absolutely be better especially for the price you pay. Besides the quality and taste, service was great. The inside was clean and the tables were nicely arranged. I don't know the likelihood of me coming back, but it was nice to experience.

Sizzling Pepper beef w/ udon option. Delicious!!

We eat here every two weeks! It is amazing.! Always get the sizzling beef with udon and the different skewers. The calamari app is great too.

My daughter brought me here a week or so ago for a great lunch. Great it was! The service was great, the place is spotless and the food was great. The bubble or boba drink was absolutely delicious! I wish I could remember the names of the two pots we got but I don't. The only thing I do remember is that it was green'ish and it had curry. I could have eaten thw whole thing by myself. They have Tv's that were playing the soccer games. The bathrooms are also spotless. The colors are a beige and gold. Their selfie wall in the front is cute. I would absolutely come back here again.

I normally come here for their hot pot and today I tried their pork plate and fried fish balls, they're good and tasty.

Service was good but food was extremely mid. Completely flavor (especially Miso one) didn't have basic accommodations/add on's (no sauce or toppings). Overall lack of taste and bland. Much better hot pot restaurant options out there. Restaurant was pretty empty on a Sunday.

Sizzling Beef with rice

We went back here to try new dishes. We ordered beef hot pot and the sizzling beef, both were delicious! Service is fast too and we got free refills of the soup. It was not busy since it's summer time so people tend to avoid this kind of food, so it was pretty quiet. Their Restroom was clean too.

It was nearly empty when I went. I think this type of food is hard for this demographics. If you were in San diego or orange county or l.a it would always be busy. I dont like tasty pot in general. This place looks big on the outside but its kind of small in the inside. I love yin tang and ziangliang mala tang and places of the likes bc its 14$ a pound and you choose what you want inside. Today I ordered the stinky tofu soup, which was BTW very delicious. Its an excellent broth. I chose the flame spicy and there was no spice but that's sort of expected bc the demographics in temecula cant handle ANY spice, even tiniest bit. This soup was very rich and flavorful, but what I was disappointed in was there was 0 intestines. I only ordered this bowl bc it had intestines. I showed my server I had 0 as I was sifting through my soup. I asked him if he can get me a bowl of intestines a d if he can't, ill pay for the extra charge. This was the only reason why I ordered this dish! Its just sad it had none. This is why they get 3 stars. I like the cabbage substitute bc I dont eat noodles or rice. Everything else in the soup was OK. I also got beef sticks. It had 0 flavor. I think even this demographic would agree. Maybe today I got a bad batch? Again, im not a big fan of tasty pot and its overpriced food, but i shall say this is the best tasty pot I've had. Ill come again to try other things. I want to add i loved the tofu paste sauce they had with chili oil and soy sauce on the middle of the table. The soy sauce was really funky however.

Taiwanese Spicy
Tajuana C.

I liked this concept of hot pot, although I was confused at first but they refill your broth, assuming with a base broth that mixes well with all flavors. Even though it isn't all you can eat, the portion size makes up for that, you don't need all you can eat lol. It's nice getting your hot pot to go, I should ask at the other spots bc why waste the broth! Some countries drink bone broth for breakfast and I'm all about saving food, I don't mind leftovers. I wanted to try a Taiwanese hot pot and I got the spicy beef one! There was a lot of things I wasn't sure about but it's not that big of a deal and just took them out but I tried them first! You never know what you will like! I really loved the Napa cabbage!!! Oh and please y'all, get the black tea, I came during lunch and it was complimentary but if not please get that black tea! It's the best black tea I have had in a long time! They do need to do something about the flies! I had to take a greedy fly out bc he kept trying to get my food and actually landed on it! I'm giving them five stars bc it was only one fly but made me think ya know. Now I wonder how the other restaurants ensure there aren't any flies! There must be a way and hopefully you guys figure that part out.

Even though we didn't order the hot pot, we still had a really good experience at Tasty Pot! The food was overall delicious and definitely worth the visit. Workers were friendly! Ambiance good for friends and family! The popcorn chicken was a standout -- super flavorful and crispy. The beef skewers were also really yummy and well-seasoned. Rice was solid and did the job. The torpedo shrimp and the pork & shrimp egg rolls were just okay -- not bad, but not the highlight of the meal. For drinks, the taro milk tea with boba was good and satisfying. The Thai tea was okay, nothing special but still enjoyable. Overall, a solid spot with tasty food and good variety. Next time we'll probably try the hot pot, but even ordering off the appetizer menu was worth it!

I was close by, starving and wanted to try the soup, I went to order and ask what her favorite was. She mentioned a couple of the soups and then the Beef sizzling plate. That sounded so good, with udon noodles, onions, corn, cheese and a fried egg. Of course that's what I ordered, with all the extras. I was going to take it home, but instead thought it would taste better on the sizzling plate. I was seated and patiently waited. Once it arrived I was instructed to mix it together well and enjoy. It was so full of flavor and tasty. I will have to make another trip to actually try the soup, I am very happy I decided to stop here today. Thank you.

Delicious beef hot pot with a side of white rice. Enough for two people. Clean place, good environment to sit as well. Service was great, staff was welcoming

Jossie M.

Unfortunately, the flavors in the food were lacking. I had read that from others and even tried to add the available sauces. However, the sauces didn't do much and I was left wanting to find a way to enjoy the meal. Fortunately, the boba tea was good and I ordered a side of chicken skewers which tasted more fresh. Also, the setup is odd because you sit down and order using your phone yet at the end you walk up to pay. Not sure why we couldnt just pay using our phone since the location forces you to order using a phone. There is staff around that bring out the food and beverages, so there is some human interaction. When the servers were around, they were friendly. I wanted to like this place but the tasty pot was not worth it. For a place that features a hot pot, that meal is not there speciality. Back to the drawing board to explore other hot pots...

I was about to write a review for boiling poi*t, but I decided to come back and get to the review for tasty pot. The overall ambiance was a bit unsettling with their tables not being the cleanest, the sauce containers having what seemed to be some residue as well as some bugs on there, and it just didn't feel the greatest. The service was good and was helpful with our meal, and the food itself was good, not great. There definitely could have been more flavors since the broth tastes a bit watered down. I was just overall put off by the ambiance and bugs on our table.

I came here craving soup after being sick and ordered the pork soon tofu, while my wife ordered the bulgogi. The meat in both dishes was noticeably tough and difficult to chew compared to other Korean tofu restaurants we've visited. Because I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't fully taste the food, but my wife and daughter both immediately noticed that the bulgogi tasted sour. When we brought it to the staff's attention, they kindly offered to replace the meat, so we requested teriyaki chicken instead. Unfortunately, another serving of bulgogi was brought out instead. By that point, my wife and daughter had already finished eating and gone to the car, so I simply asked for it to be boxed up. After getting home, we decided to throw it away because we didn't feel comfortable taking a chance on meat that tasted off. The side dishes also didn't seem fresh, which matched what I had seen mentioned in other reviews. While I can't say for certain what caused the sour taste, it left us without confidence in the meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning on a very hot summer day, which made it uncomfortable to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. Also, the dishes were served on hot plates, but nothing arrived sizzling or boiling the way you would normally expect at a Korean tofu restaurant. I genuinely want local family-owned restaurants to succeed, which is why writing this review isn't easy. Every restaurant can have an off day, and hopefully that's what happened here. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet our expectations, and based on our experience, I'd encourage others to use their own judgment when deciding to dine here.

He repeatedly told us to keep our kids quiet, including times when they weren't even being loud or disruptive. It became incredibly uncomfortable and honestly ridiculous. What made it even stranger was that the other staff members seemed just as confused as we were about why he kept behaving this way. So I want to be clear: this review is mainly about our experience with this particular waiter, because the rest of the staff did not seem to have an issue with us or our children. Then another couple walked in with a child who was completely quiet, and this SAME waiter still felt the need to say something to them about their child. That confirmed for us that the problem wasn't our kids being disruptive, he clearly had some kind of issue with children being in the restaurant at all. I'm not sure if he thinks he's working at some exclusive adults-only restaurant in Beverly Hills, but families shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable simply for bringing their children out to eat. If children are allowed in the restaurant, they should be treated like welcome guests, not like an inconvenience. It's unfortunate because one employee's attitude can completely ruin an otherwise good dining experience. Management seriously needs to address this because no family should spend their money somewhere only to be treated this way.

Nice service and decent meat for the price!…read more The menu is straightforward with the basic meat options. Although the choices are very limited, they offer the typical meat options that people would normally get at other locations. The menu states that there's a limit on the marinated short ribs, but the worker said that we could get as much as we wanted. The ventilation could definitely be better, but it didn't bother us that much. Our favorite part was that they provided FREE ice cream at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise. * Beef Brisket: 9/10 - cooks the fastest and pairs nicely with the brisket sauce * Bulgogi Beef: 9/10 - nicely marinated and tender * Beef Short Ribs: 9/10 - the best choice, but we were curious as to why it didn't come with the bones * Ice Cream: 10/10 - perfect dessert after such a very meal The place is a good size and can fit a large number of booths and grills. We came when they first opened so the workers were quite attentive, but it might be different during hectic dinner times.

On our first visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, shrimp lo mein, and the rock cod fillet in black bean sauce. The fresh fish was absolutely delicious and a great recommendation from our server. The wings were perfectly fried and seasoned, and the portions were generous enough for the two of us to share comfortably. Our server was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal. We were very grateful for her. For our second visit, we ordered many of the same dishes but decided to try the salt and pepper fish instead of the rock cod. It was moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Another great choice! The service on our second visit was a bit slower, but it seemed to be a much busier day. We had to ask for our rice, and we never received a water refill. Thankfully, my husband wasn't drinking much of his water, so I was able to finish his. Even with those minor service issues, the food was excellent and more than enough reason for us to return. I'm confident it was simply an unusually busy day. Overall, great food, generous portions, and a restaurant we'll definitely be back to visit again.

Came here for my birthday (like everyone else, lol, there were at least 10-15 other birthdays…read moreduring the short time we were there). The server was great, very attentive. My daughter asked for another cherry and she brought a whole bowl. I took off a star for two reasons: 1) the women's restroom was very messy and dirty (clogged toilet, paper towels and toilet paper everywhere). When you go to the restroom right before dinner and this is what you see, it is very unappetizing. 2) our chef was very boring and did the bare minimum, even after I requested a chef who is extra good with kids when I made my reservation. I grew up going to the Shogun in Pasadena, and those chefs knew how to put on a show. The remodel really elevated the ambiance. The wallpaper is beautiful. The food was delicious, no complaints there.

Back to Shogun again after 6 years. We were invited here to celebrate a birthday of a relative…read morewhich we had to pay for our own food. It came out to about $50 each person because the tip was already priced in. I had the teriyaki chicken which ironically was the worst part of the meal. The place was very busy and looked elegant and the style with the waitress and cooks were totally different and very fast flowing than the last time I came here. They all were nice and happy. It was a bit hot in there and the cook with the knives we really sweating. If I thought too much about it then it would have grossed me out since he was wiping his sweat on his sleeves which was close to the knives. He did a lot of magic tricks and I think he expected tips because I saw his tips jar with money in it. However no one tipped because most were teens which was a good thing since they forced an 18% tip into the final price anyway without asking. I had a problem with the garlic butter and the jokes about it which was said to be the secret ingredient. As you can see in the pictures it was huge like a cake,! Not healthy at all since it was used for the rice, vegetables, lobster, noodles, chicken, and salmon. (More garlic butter than oil) This was definitely not Japanese style-or Korean style for that matter. When you got Gen restaurant and cook for yourself, you're not throwing garlic butter on everything. It's a good party time if you have the money for it and not annoyed about all the garlic butter being used in every dish.

I recently moved from LA and have been looking for a great go to point for Thai food. So far this is my favorite spot. Their food has not disappointed me. The waiters here are very kind and sweet. They try their best to make sure your needs are met. They will take away dishes and trash if they see any as they walk by. The inside isn't that big, creating an intimate space. Regardless there is still a good amount of spaces to sit at.

This was probably the blandest Thai food I've ever had. I asked for 8/10 spicy but there wasn't a…read morehint of it. They also adjusted my order to charge an extra $17 on grubhub with no reason given. Thankfully I was able to get that reversed. Will not return.
