There was no service provided, yet they charged 18% directly. This was done without my knowledge. Such behavior is prone to causing misunderstandings. I will not be returning as the food was below par and I had to leave a tip again.

Oh dear, this was a big miss for me. The Taiwanese hot pot here is nothing like Boiling Point or Tasty Pot in California. The broth is mala (Szechuan-style), which I really dislike. I'm especially disappointed because it's nothing like the Taiwanese hot pot I'm used to. On a positive note, they offer plenty of add-ins and meat, and the service was great. Maybe it's worth trying a different soup base next time.

I have had my moments where I crave some soup and especially hotpot. But one issue is most places are family portions or all you can eat. But one place goes against it: Tasty Point. I was looking for an individual hotpot and I have been craving Budae Jjigae (Korean army base stew) I was accustomed to the previous location about 2-3 lights down from the current location. Portion of the individual hotpot is more than enough. Hot but has a nice spice to it. Very flavorful and there are other options as well plus ramen. Also the individual hot pot came with a side dish and I went with the Taiwanese minced rice. The servers are nice and knowledgeable of the menu. But also I appreciate their patience because we did wait for another person and were nice to wipe down another table so we can be more comfortable. Not too often I go to Tasty Point but I do enjoy the variety on the menu. Ramen is available and so are rice dishes. Appetizers are plenty as well. The skewers are huge and the fries are long, seriously. It has a bit of everything and the seating is much more than the previous location

Fried stinky tofu
Mary S.

This rating is for the apps only - we did not do the hot pot. The appetizers were, eh? Half good & half not. The fried stinky tofu app was good. Fried baby octopus was also good. The 12 piece wings were 6 wingettes cut in half. Very misleading and lots of pointy bones if you're not careful can cut your mouth. The superfries are basically long pieces of fried mash potatoes... or it felt that way. It kept breaking if you tried to hold it from just one end. It's not worth 7.95. Chicken thigh and chicken gizzard skewer were both overcooked and tough. The small intestine was cooked perfectly. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars for the apps. Service was okay. It felt like they didn't want us in there since we just ordered apps, but that's just how we felt... not anything they said... They did have limited seating, and we took up 5 seats, but that was when they weren't busy yet. It did start to pick up as we were almost done.

Plenty of choices for you to choose from, hot pot, ramen, skewers, etc. We opted for hot pot, choosing the tomato hot pot and coconut curry hot pot. Both were good but on the salty side. The tomato had a rich tomato flavor with fish filets and plenty of vegetables. This is good for vegetarians. The coconut curry hot pot was a rich creamy flavor due to the coconut cream. We went around 7 on a Wednesday night thinking it would be busy but we were the first ones in there. They weren't ideally busy at all which was surprising. 2 staff were working and were very quick to respond when we needed something. This is a good hang out spot with friends or to take a date. Music was playing in the background and tvs playing cooking shows. Overall, great place to go if you are craving hot pot. They allay have teas as well.

AP07. Deep-Fried King Oyster Mushroom appetizer and bowl of rice
Ekun D.

We walked in this place off the street without any prior knowledge, no expectations. We were simply hungry. We were also pleasantly surprised. To start they have quite the menu options. We were vegan and non-vegan and everyone could eat. There were so many excellent new dishes that we never tried to choose from. The wait staff was charming, the kitchen fast. We were the only customers inside but the food take out traffic was steady. The decor is very nice with smoke seating and parking is available. We really enjoyed ourselves.

AP05. Spicy Beef Tripe
Lily L.

I was craving for Taiwanese/Chinese snacks and hot pot so I came specifically for those. They have a lot of options! However, the appetizer portions are so small, so I would say they are on the overpriced end. We ordered the spicy beef tendon, spicy bean curd, and spicy stinky tofu, but none of that was really spicy or mala, which is very different than the Szechuan taste I was expecting. The bean curd was good though, flavor just right and not too oily. The sweet and spicy wings are delicious, my bf and I love it the most, but so be expecting for the small sized wing (they cut the wing in half, so on the menu says 12 wing but you are only getting around 6 whole wings). Tried the Laksa hot pot because I was curious and want something new. I would give it a 8/10 because the creamy taste was good with subtle curry flavor. But not spicy as they stated, again. It's a spice friendly pot for everyone I would say. Also the size is good to share between two people. Place looks very bright and trendy, it does gets busy at night but definitely a good space to grab a quick dinner with friends and family. Nice vibe and service was fast and friendly.

Tasty Point at Dun Huang Plaza
Lou C.

This is my updated review since Tasty Point 鼎點 moved to Dun Huang Plaza. It is now located where Shabu House used to be in Building C. The closest entrance is on Corporate Drive. The menu is updated, less confusions from the inflation up charge on the old menu and more clarity on what they serve. Lunch has the best value as it comes with tea and $1 cheaper than dinner. The place filled up pretty quick on a weekday afternoon. Didn't seem like the move made any difference. I ordered the first item on the menu - Taiwanese Stinky Tofu Hot Pot 台式臭臭锅 with Braised Pork Rice. The iced tea was kind of sweet for me. It came with a takeout cup, like the old location. It's was convenient to carry out. It took about 15 minutes to get my dish. I asked not to lit up the flame because I was in a hurry. The food was hot enough. This dish has everything about Taiwanese street food but not stinky. I was able to finish in 25 minutes while taking few pictures to document my experience. In comparison to the old location, I like this new location because of space. The interior is much bigger and tables are aligned logically. I think I'll visit often during lunchtime.

I came here with my friends recently for the first time! Nice foody vibe with good decorations in the restaurant! There were no vegetarian options on the menu yet the chef made us a vegetarian dish with tomato based soup and it was very delicious! They should definitely make some veggie options so many vegetarian vegan people can come! Personally, I enjoyed a lot yet the only con from the experience was a bit of unfriendliness of a worker. He seemed to be a quick worker but his attitude was obviously not pleasant. Knowing it can be tiring but still important to serve customers with good attitudes as a server. Hope to see a few improvements when I go back sometimes in the future :) But the food was delicious Keep up the good work! Cheers

Get it together

I don't like giving bad stars. I used to come here all the time. This trip had dead and wilting flower. Dirty tables galore- nobody cleaned them. Told us to sit , where at dirty tables ? Booths were pushed in funny positions. Lady / waitress is strange. Very quiet and won't help us. What else, lol. Asked for lines 4 times. And water 3 times. To get some. Sauces were all open and dirty.

10. Korean Army Hot Pot Dinner
Quynh-Anh V.

Visited again the other day at the new location in Dun Huang Plaza. The Korean Army Pot tastes worse now compared to the old location, the flavors feel a lot weaker and it's not spicy at all. Also my Taiwanese friend said the Stinky tofu pot was not stinky at all--so not much flavor and not very authentic. Really sad by the drop in quality yet increase in price after moving to the new location.

Kim D.

This place is great if you're craving hot pot but don't want to do AYCE. This spot combines the joy of personal hot pot with an refreshed atmosphere. They used to be located in the honey pig plaza and a bit smaller. It's a perfect choice for those seeking something warm in the cold weather. The options are diverse, ranging from comforting classics to lighter alternatives. I usually go for the Korean army stew or the Taiwanese spicy hot pot. You also get to choose a side. I get the braised pork rice each time; it's so addicting! Whether you're a hot pot enthusiast or just looking for a novel dining experience on a cold day, tasty point is right up your alley.

Jessica Z.

I have been on a hot pot kick so decided to try out Tasty Point per recs from friends. The interior had cute decor but was much smaller than I expected, so it might be a tight squeeze during lunch/dinner time. We ordered French fries as an appetizer and the spicy beef hot pot that was filled with really tender beef, fish balls, tofu, mushrooms, vermicelli, bean curd and veggies. I loved the soup base as it was light but still packed with flavor. The fries were crispy and an unique twist but did not impress me as it had a strong oily taste. They also have a wide range of desserts and drinks that I would love to try next time!

We sat by the bar at the front of the restaurant, which I enjoyed because the natural sunlight coming in. The remainder of the restaurant is dimly it. I decided to have small bites so broccolini and chicken bites. The broccolini was really good, it was topped with quinoa which I wonder is added for texture because it didn't add much to the actual meal but it still tasted good over all. The chicken bites were super hot and fresh. Much larger than I was expecting as well. I tried the kiwi mocktail drink which was pretty yummy as well.

I had a great experience at ramen Tatsu-ya. It was my first time here & I was very impressed…read more I ordered the "mi-so-hot" & it was amazing. First - the ramen came out super fast. I was very surprised. And my broth was so delicious. It had such a rich umami flavor due to the miso & I thought the spice level was perfect. Honestly - I could eat jhst that broth for a whole meal. Unlike buldak or some other spicy ramens - the main selling point wasn't the spice. You could get an additional "spice bomb" if you wanted some more heat. The ramen toppings were good but not outstanding - same with the noodles. I thought the "mi-so-hot" was easily 3x better than "the og". The broth in "the og" was pretty interesting and more unique tasting. It felt like the main notes were just umami, pork, and oil. Not bad, but felt like it was missing a little something to make it truly good. If I had just got the OG, I'd rate this place a bit lower - but as it stands I'd 100% come back here for the "mi-so-hot" The interior was pretty nice. It was more "communal style seating" with a couple of big tables. There is also some smaller booths. It's an "order at the counter" type restaurant as well. I saw several comments about parking & was a bit concerned when driving over. I know that part of westheimer is always packed! But there is an attached parking lot & at 3pm on a Sunday, there was plenty of parking! Also - there is some street parking in the neighborhood north of the shop. Overall - will 100% be coming back for some more spicy ramen. Would recommend

I've gone to a couple of ramen places in Houston, but OMGGG!--HANDS down one of the best ramen…read more I've had in my life! The broth is so rich in flavor, I could drink it alone & be content! We got the fried gyoza and I forgot what the other appetizer was but was savory & even more in-depth with the sauce it was paired with! It wasn't packed for going on a weekend and I loved that the menu had limited options--makes you choose quickly and get to the GOODS the NOODS! Will be going back during our Winter peak--adds to the element (highly recommend during this time).

Ever crave late-night ramen? After a pool party and some beers, we needed to replenish our salt…read morecontent... so Rakkan it was. Sushi Flight (6 Pieces, 4 Flavors) - Somehow 1,050 calories??? - Raw Salmon x2 - Strangely, I would have liked this colder. It was just okay. - Cooked Salmon x2 - I liked this a lot more than the raw salmon because it had a deeper flavor. - Scallops - Probably my favorite thing on this platter because of the smokiness they imbue with the torching. The sweet aftertaste was definitely worthwhile. - Shrimp - Not as fresh as I would have liked, as someone who's eaten a lot of shrimp, but I still liked the taste. Still, pretty mediocre. Tantan Tsukemen - Very interesting broth. Potent, salty, and full of bold flavor. My friend swapped the pork for chicken, and the chicken worked really well with the broth. They serve the chicken as a cold cut. This is a double-noodle dish with a soy milk-based dipping sauce. I normally would have ordered this because I LOVE tantan ramen, but I had to forgo it for the limited-time Creamy Truffle Ramen. Creamy Truffle Ramen - LOVED the broth. It was very light and creamy. I actually liked this a lot more than tonkotsu ramen. The truffle wasn't too overwhelming--just mild enough to hint at its flavor without becoming the only flavor profile you get. Truffle is like baking with rose water; finding that balance is quite hard. I will admit the whole table smelled like truffles, though. The torched king oyster mushroom paired wonderfully with the dish, and the broccolini was an equally interesting topping choice. I also found bits of melted Parmesan throughout the ramen, which the menu listed as an ingredient. The egg wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still a decent soy egg. As I kept eating, the truffle oil became more intense, and the fattiness started to get a bit overwhelming without washing it down with water. Great flavor overall, but I think this dish is best paired with an appetizer to help cut through the richness. One of my favorite things about this place, which my BF mentioned, was the noodle texture. I noticed it too as I ate--a good bite with a slick texture that was just starchy enough to cling to the broth. We had leftover noodles from the Tantan Tsukemen at the end of the meal and ended up using the Creamy Truffle broth as a dipping sauce. Honestly, no regrets. The cold noodles didn't work quite as well in this dish, but the broth was definitely a banger. This was also the first ramen broth I couldn't finish but desperately wanted to bring home. (Obviously, I did.) Their to-go containers are surprisingly sleek, too. It's a weird thing to compliment, but I almost wanted to keep the container as much as the broth. Special comment on the utensils here--the soup spoons are ridiculously cute! Would love to have a similar set at home. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was thoughtful. The music wasn't too loud, and it wasn't that crowded for a Saturday night. They do play a lot of popular Japanese songs, so if you're an international music enthusiast, you'll appreciate hearing "Mayonaka no Door" by Miki Matsubara.

I love how Rakkan Ramen's broth is plant based, and it really does taste a bit lighter and cleaner…read more I'm a sucker for specials, so I went with their summer Spicy Tantan Tsukemen, which was pretty good. Note that it's double portion of noodles, so come hungry for this one. I'm also super happy that you can swap pork for chicken. My friends are also apparently suckers for specials and went with the Sushi Flight and the Creamy Truffle ramen. There was no wrong pick for any of us today. I'll definitely will need to come back and try their other dishes!

One waitress served everyone in the restaurant while I was there. She was speedy in taking and delivering orders. She seemed very nice! Food: ordered Tonkotsu Gachi and my mom ordered the yuzu. Food arrived very quickly, though we ordered no appetizers. The tonkotsu broth was rich and velvety in texture, but more like a mild umami in flavor. The chashu pork was pale, but melt in your mouth buttery and bursting with savory pork goodness! The marinated egg wasn't brought up to temperature with the broth -- a little cooler than room temperature, with a medium oozy yolk. It felt like the marinade penetrated all through to the yolk -- it was great! I welcomed the novel choice to use red onion over the usual scallions. It was a nice touch of color and brought in that bright, juicy onion flavor that I crave. Noodles were perfect texture. Not too hard or mushy. This bowl feels made to focus on the broth and flavor and not so much an instagram post. Delicious!! My only complaint was a very very very slight bitterness in the background. I couldn't pin where it was coming from. Maybe that's a risk of simmering bones for so long. I'll keep this short because I couldn't just eat my moms bowl... The Yuzu shio broth was clearer, with bright, citrusy, and savory body. The bamboo shoots were golden (grilled?) with a little snap to it. Reminds me of a king oyster mushroom. This is really a unique broth and I haven't had anything like it. You should definitely try it! Restaurant: clean, neat, every table literally has its place /orientation. Deep wood furniture, honeyed lighting, and dark window shades give the restaurant a cozy chic ambience despite visiting around noon. Good food, great service. Great prices. Large portions.

I was excited to stop in and try it on a Monday around 1pm. The inside of the restaurant is really nicely done. It has a bar area and tables. I was sat at a table. The ordering system is through a QR code. It was fine and I paid with Apple Pay. You can also type in your credit card. I chose the tonkatsu ramen with the lunch special add on of pork and rice for 3.90. The ramen was a 7/10 for me. The egg, the pork and the broth lacked flavor. The flavor on the pork in the rice dish was better, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. I gave up on my bowl about halfway through and left unsatisfied. I don't think I'll be back.
