I've been wanting to try their hot pot for awhile. They have a good selection of hot pots, appetizers and desserts. My family got the Golden Spicy Soup Beef and the Herbal Hot Pot. I normally get hot pots with beef but I ordered the Coconut Cream Curry because I wanted to try the curry base and I enjoy pork slices as well. The hot pots were delicious! Although I felt like my pot was mainly cabbage packed on the bottom. The soup bases and the ingredients were pretty good. We also ordered the Super French Fries. The long fries were so fun to eat. We got the cheese, ketchup and wasabi seaweed on the side. We dipped the fries in all 3 condiments and loved it! Currently, they have a buy 2 hot pot get 1 free Monday-Friday, so I will be coming back for that!

Very good Delicious New era! New menu! New flavor!!! The service friendly,welcoming and filled with smiles

I came here for a late lunch recently. The food took a while to come prepare and come out even though it wasn't that busy. I could tell the ingredients were fresh and the portions were generous. I didn't like the broth that much, I couldn't put my finger on what it tasted like but it was interesting. This was a decent place to dine at, I would come back occasionally but this wouldn't be on my usual rotation when I'm craving hot pot.

Tasty Point has been spot on with everything I've ordered or my friends have ordered there so far. The first time I went, I got the hot pot which was so much food that it became the next day's lunch. The side of vermicelli that came with it tipped me over the food edge but it was so good and piping hot at all times! The next time I went was for dessert. My friend and I ordered their creme brûlée and now it is my go to dessert on Park Street. That sugar crunch...makes me crave one right now. The owner convinced me to try the coconut pudding the next time I was there which I did. He told me it's one person's job to make it so it may not always be available if they sell out. If you love coconut, this is a must try. They make smooth coconut pudding and put it back in the coconut and top it with fried coconut flakes. Do you get the flakes, the pudding and can spoon out some fresh coconut from the sides and lid of the coconut. So delicious and unique! The next time my friend picked me up from the airport, we had time to make it back to Tasty Point. We both decided to try the ramen since it would be less food than the hot pot. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu and it was delicious. So don't just go for hot pot, go for the ramen too! The restaurant is always clean and spacious. Cold water is always brought once you sit down. The only one negative I can think of is when they're cleaning tables and they use the spray bottle that smells like bleach (but it goes away quickly thankfully). The two bathrooms are clean. Street parking but it's pretty easy to find in that area.

Cute little spot in Alameda. Street parking, all metered. Can be hit or miss, also could prob park a little further down for free parking if wanted. Friendly service and big menu which was fun. They did not have beef skewers sadly so we tried the lamb. It had good seasoning and crispy but little gamey for my taste. The noodles were decent. The chicken was good! The tofu pudding wasn't too sweet but didn't have the ginger sauce I love. But still good nonetheless! They had a real big selection of drinks- I'll be back to try their other items~

I'm so happy there's an individual hot pot place in the east bay that's delicious! My favorite hotpot flavors are the laksa and the spicy lamb, I forgot the names! But you'll find it on the menu. The hotpots are super flavorful and packed with ingredients! The girls who work here are also super nice and helpful! The restaurant is also super roomy and comfortable, bathrooms are super clean and parking is easy! I love that they're doing a weekday promotion Monday to Friday buy 2 get 1 free hotpot! My family and I LOVE this spot! I hope the promotion stays for a long time :)

Grabbed dinner here on the recommendation of a friend on a Thursday night. The name caught my eye because it sounds like they basically blended together Tasty Pot and Boiling Point to create a name. We ordered 4 items between the three of us: fries, lamb skewers, and 2 pots. I personally opted for the Chengdu hot pot which was customizable. The portions and pricing are pretty standard, but some of their pots come in a larger size that I thought was a pretty good deal and could definitely feed two people. If I hadn't had Tasty Pot (my favorite for individual hotpot) before coming here I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more, but it was just okay in comparison and I probably wouldn't return. The broth wasn't as flavorful nor as spicy as I'd like and I was underwhelmed by the other toppings and sauces. My friends seemed to enjoy the lamb skewers. We all liked the fries, they were crispy and the batter was light. Fries were served with cheese and ketchup, and tasted like potato chips. I was so amused by how long they were compared to typical fries! Service was on point, friendly and attentive. My experience wasn't bad by any means, quality was good, but there are just better options out there for hotpot. Stars mainly for the service and the fact that others I dined with seemed to really like it! I think I just prefer a broth that packs more of a punch. Giving this 3 stars because Yelp doesn't have half stars, but it was more of like a rounded up 2.5 for me.

Tried Tasty Point in Alameda and went with the large Taiwanese spicy hot pot. The broth had good spice, the toppings were plentiful, and the sauce selection made it easy to mix things up. Service was really nice, and the spot itself felt modern and well lit--great atmosphere without being too flashy. Overall, a solid hot pot experience that ranks right up there with others in the area.

My friend had the tomato hot pot and really liked it. I got the lamb hot pot and loved it. The staff are super nice and pleasant. Will be back soon~

The food was definitely tasty, I ordered a beef pot, I think it was the Porcini hot pot, but I can't remember exactly. The service was very prompt and the waiters were very smart and made the drinks in to go cups, so we can just carry it when we leave. It was relatively tame when we arrived as it was late, but the food hits and it's tasty with the variety of ingredients. It's similar to Tasty Pot.

It was our neighbors get-together and we decided to check out Tasty Point for hotpots. Located off Park St on Santa Clara, we were able to find street parking down the block. The restaurant is bright, clean and modern and the waitress welcomed and directed us to our table of six which we had reserved. Their specialty is Hot Pot as there are 12 different choices that come in three sizes, though a couple come in large or big sizes only. For those not wanting hot pot, they also have rice and noodle, ramen and spaghetti choices. There's also appetizers, desserts and tea, yogurt and fruit drinks. For appetizer, we got the deep fried stinky tofu, since some of us never tried it. Having tried in Taiwan, these did not have a strong and pungent aroma. They were crispy and came with a side of pickled vegetables. I ordered the Porcini Hot Pot which came in a large size. It came with sliced beef, beef ball, imitation crab, fried tempura, pork fish ball, soft tofu, fried tofu skin, shitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, daikon, maitake mushrooms, a wedge of corn, and Napa cabbage. The beefy broth had good flavor and there was a lot of ingredients in this bowl. Thought there was just a little too much slice Napa cabbage in it. I had a taste of the Taiwanese Braised Pork Chop Noodle dish which was served in a skillet dish. The pork chop was tender and had a nice crisp and there was a mince braised pork over the noodles as well. Thought this was tasty. Other dishes my neighbors had were the Tomato Hot Pot, Vine Pepper Hot Pot, the Chengdu Hot Pot and Tonkatsu Ramen. They enjoyed their dishes and the two who had the hot pots also commented that there was too much Napa cabbage. Our waitress was friendly from answering our menu questions through service. I've had better, but Tasty Point is a good hot pot choice in Alameda and also they have options for non-hot pot eaters.

I've come here several times because it's one of the closer hot pot places in Alameda/Oakland area. The service is usually perfectly fine but there are very very few times where they are a bit slow/miss things (but no biggie). I usually get a personal hot pot here, but I've noticed they added other things to the menu such as ramen and a lot of new appetizers. I'm pretty satisfied every time I come here, since I have a hotpot addiction and this spot hits the spot. The portions are a bit smaller than Tasty Pot and Boiling Point (other hot pot places similar to Tasty Point) Parking/location: There is metered street parking that isn't too hard to find. It is located on a side street next to Park St in Alameda. Overall every time I come here I know what quality, portions, and prices to expect and I'm always leaving satisfied. :)

This is my second time here. The first time I would've given a 3/5, but I feel like this place has definitely improved! The soup is much tastier than last time. Their menu is HUGE and they have a wide variety. They have many other things other than hot pot, which I'd be willing to try next time. I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot and it was HUGE. There was plenty of food inside. There was even a whole ramen in there and plenty of beef slices. The broth doesn't taste like your usual Taiwanese spicy pot, but I actually like it! It's cleaner and less oily, which is to my liking. My bf got the Coconut Curry Hot Pot and it was quite delicious! I was worried it would be too coconut-y but thankfully it was just the right amount. I think for those who like curry hot pots but don't want the coconut, you can easily tell them to remove it bc they literally just put coconut milk over it. Overall it was pretty good. My bf usually gets the curry pot at Tasty Pot (which is his fave) and he said this one was actually a little better bc, again, it was less oily and had a lot of food inside. Service was great--food came out fast. The server frequently refreshed water. Plenty of seating indoors and pretty spacious.
