New Name Alert: Malabar or apparently Malatang Didn't figure it out until I walked up and saw the wrong sign actually. We are hot pot professionals so we knew how many items were going to weight how much. I got it down to choosing the sides and it weight exactly 1.2lb exactly. My wife ended up with 1.2lb also but ended up bringing leftovers home. She got the bone broth healing soup ( clear white soup) I got the golden spicy / sour soup ( golden color , not too spicy but not too sour but still delicious!! Honestly both soups were good, they serve it to you cooked so no stress on waiting. Service was great as it felt like a grand opening party. price is good too! if you don't overstuff yourself. Selection awesome good meatballs good meats ( fat and lean) good veggies mini sauce bar also they pretty much covered all bases for hotpot read more

Tasty Pot has changed to malatang hot pot style. You put all the ingredients you want in a big bowl and then they'll charge you by the pound. Price was reasonable at 13.99/lb. We came in around 5:30 pm on a weekend. A lot of the ingredients were in low supply and the veggies didn't look fresh. We had to ask them to refill the beef because the container was completely empty. When we went to get our sauces, they had a limited selection compared to other hot pot/malatang places. They didn't have any sesame sauce available then, even though there was a label for it. The soup bases were alright. The tom yum flavor has a bit of a kick and the healthy bone soup was decent. read more

Tasty Pot - Thai tom yum soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

Tasty Pit has completely redone their concept from individual Taiwanese style hot pot to the trendy build your own malatang bowl. Interior and atmosphere of the restaurant has remained the same, but I have several comments about the food now. The leafy vegetables (Napa cabbage, spinach, bok choy, etc.) didn't look fresh or feel chilled in the slightest and the pork itself was browning. My friend and I got the Taiwanese Spicy Broth and Bone Broth and both were not great. Taiwanese spicy was much too salty and the bone broth was heavy and oily. The sauce bar was basically just soy sauce or sesame sauce with add on options. Can't comment much on the service since there practically was none outside of your interaction with the cashier. We will not be coming here again as there are better malatang options nearby. Really disappointed since I loved the original Tasty Pot... read more

I have recent been really wanting to eat malatang and was curious to try the rebrand of tasty pot since it's near my house. So I stopped by tonight to get takeout. 5/5 cleanliness the stations were thoughtfully laid out and organized. However, I wish there were more options in the middle section. The stations were all very clean and we're constantly being restocked. 4/5 soup I got the tom yum soup base which was so good. The reason why I chose to come here over the other malatang places because there was a good variety of bases. 3/5 takeout service my experience would have definitely been different if I dined in. Not until after I paid, I asked the staff where is the sauce bar. Only to be told that they are not available for takeout, which is one of my favorite parts of eating malatang . Luckily 99 ranch market was still open, so I stopped by to buy some Hotpot sauces on the way home. Overall, I don't mind visiting again but only for dine in. But if I do order takeout again, I now have all the condiments at home read more

Tasty Pot - Tom yum soup base (mild) - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

I have always come to Tasty Pot after my other favorite hot pot joint closed. It felt like not long ago they rebranded, and this summer they were closed for construction again. Once they reopened, they changed their business model. Now you can choose your own soup base and ingredients, and they charge you by the weight of the food. Then they cook it for you and bring it to your table. The ambience hasn't changed much except that they now have stations where you can choose your ingredients. There are lots of options, and they have some pre-made items as well. I also like that they offer complimentary green tea. To me, that's not how I prefer my hot pot, as I like having a fire to keep my food warm. However, it's also nice to be able to choose exactly what you want in your hot pot. read more

Love the rebranding! They're now called Malatang (but not part of any chain) and have a promo running for $3 off every bowl. The setup is completely revamped. Instead of their previous model with prepared bowls akin to Jazz Cat or Boiling Point, they're now pay per pound, i believe $12.99. Same concept as others (pay by weight), but the variety of items, quality, and broth are all authentic and deelish. You help yourself, weigh and pay at the front, then pick a table to wait while your order is being prepared. I ordered the original Szechuan #1 broth and was not disappointed; it was packed with all the Szechuan flavor without needing to spend 10 minutes picking out heaps of peppercorns and red chili flakes. Once I got to my seat, my bowl was brought out in no time: a pretty brass pot with two side handles and magically cool to the touch. Sauce bar is also self-serve and had everything you need. Lunch also comes with a complimentary green tea drink without the excessive punch of caffeine and sugar it previously had. The selection of hot pot items is awesome. They have all the standard stuff you'd expect: several different kinds of veggies, meats, seafood, fish balls, and tofus but also lots of not-so-common items i was excited about like tendon (which boiled down really soft and translucent), clear potato noodles, purple yam noodles, beef balls with yummy beef filling, fish balls with egg in the middle (but egg yolk not fish egg, which was still tasty), crawfish, and mussels. The only downside was that i do miss the old staff as every one of the members were polite and attentive. Moving forward, customers will likely mostly be on their own. If you lower your expectations for customer service, the food and price will more than makeup for it. read more

Really loved the service we received today. The food was good and I would definitely come back here. I am so happy that they opened back up with the malatang concept and I love the variety of items on the menu. the ambiance here is also very lovely as it's very relaxing. read more

5/4/25 Met up with some wonderful Friends to try this hot pot in Alhambra, a solid 3.5, definitely NEEDS major improvement with connectivity, we all had trouble checking in & ordering. If you're really hungry-- it could quickly escalate to a state of supreme HANGRY. No WIFI, you have been warned! When we finally ordered (when it loaded), it was so challenging to get the staff's attention. We felt we were left on our own devices. It took several tries to wave them to come over to help us. How it goes: choose your soup, then spice level. Hubby ordered the beef hot soup, medium spice level with rice, plenty of ingredients: Napa cabbage, beef slices, vermicelli and Enoki mushroom, taro, tomato, tofu, tempura, corn, meatball, fried tofu skin, imitation crab meat, fish, cake, clam, cilantro, scallion! I ordered the Japanese miso soup with udon & lots of ingredients: taiwanese cabbage, scallion, pork slices, crab udon and Enoki mushroom. clam, fish fillet, king oyster mushroom, fried tofu skin, zucchini, soft, tofu, cuttle fish meatball, seaweed knot, corn, tempura, roe fish ball, shrimp (2 large with shell & head), Fuzhou fish ball, and kamaboko. The place can hold about 86 people. The hot pots are served with a flame source so it arrives piping hot! Lemme tell you, we were absolutely steamed up in there-- fanning myself to cool down! LoL. It's a chill vibe, cafeteria style dining (table & chairs, some booths. You order at the table with a QR code-/ good luck getting through, All in all with this experience, we might try other venues with better service & reception (both from staff & internet/connectivity). Our group had fun on our own but the service from the staff left a lot to be desired. Good is pretty but not enough to return due to the experience. read more

Had quite a tasty pot here a few months ago with a group of friends and really enjoyed the presentation of this hot pot. Parking garage right behind the restaurant with walkway to sidewalk and front entrance. Service was a little stretched while having a full house that evening but they tried their best. We had one person missing their meal in our party even though we all ordered at the same time. Needs some improvement. Vinegars, chili oils, sauces on the table to adjust to your spice level. Pay at the front read more

First time here and I really love the concept of choosing your own ingredients and broth, then paying by the weight of your hot pot, and then having it cooked for you and brought to the table. This restaurant is very clean, restrooms as well. The buffet style bar has an amazing array of ingredients to choose from.We had quick and friendly service and everything is so fresh! The broth that I ordered was the Healthy Bone Soup, mild spice. Really, the broth was the star of the show! I left very satisfied and was perfect for this cold day. read more

Dined in on 05/04/25 for lunch. We came right before it opened and there was a small like already. It looks big inside, but there aren't a lot of tables. I ordered the #1 beef hot pot. The prices are okay and comparable to Boiling Point. I do like how they are offering discounts since they have a grand opening. Also, you get points back for signing up through their service which is cool. Taste: nothing special, it just tastes like Boiling Point to me. Service: It took awhile, we had to wait 20 minutes for our food read more

Perfect popcorn chicken, cooked to perfection, with perfect pieces of juicy chicken that made my taste buds go, "Oh man, this is perfect." They were also nice enough to give me extra spicy seasoning upon request on the side, which took it to the next level. Best popcorn chicken I've had in all my years. ALL MY YEARS. read more

This place is under new management. Ordered: Beef Hot Pot, Stinky Tofu Hot Pot, Taiwanese Hot Pot, and Kimchi Hot Pot. The spicy wontons were on the house. Broth is a bit light, in my opinion, on the bland side. Nothing really stood out to me. Overall service was very good and attentive, which made up the average tasting food. They constantly came to ask if we needed more soup and also refilled our iced water. However, the sterno that kept the pot warm didn't last long, so our hot pot soup wasn't hot enough. But if you're looking for an individual hot pot option, this place isn't too bad. Support your local business. read more

Came on a Friday night. No wait to get seated, but the restaurant was fully seated. Beef Hot Soup (3.5/5): I ordered the medium spicy here (similar to mild at boiling point). The broth was a little saltier than I prefer, but I still enjoyed the add-ons that is paired in the pot. The sauces are similar to the one at boiling point but noticeable differences would be the sauces are more sweet and less spicy (this can be adjusted by using their spicy chili sauce). Basil Popcorn Fried Chicken: (3.5/5): The fried chicken was pretty yummy, juicy, crispy, & perfectly fried. The only thing i would have liked more would be the lack of Basil flavor in the chicken. read more

Free parking structure in the back off 1st street. Came during a weekday lunch. They still had their 15% off soft opening promotion. The place was clean and felt spacious. Came here before the new management. Didn't see much difference in the decor besides a divider in the middle of the restaurant. Food was good. We like this place more than Boiling Point and we've been going to Boiling Point when they first open over a decade ago in Monterey Park. We got the 泰式酸辣鍋（午) or Thai Flavor Hot Soup (L) for $23.25 - $3.49 discount. The 沙茶牛肉鍋（午) or Beef Hot Soup (L) was $18.85 - $2.83 discount. 香菜羊肉鍋（午） or Lamb Hot Soup (L) was also $18.85 - $2.83 discount. We like the tangy flavor from the Thai Flavor Hot Pot. The Thai Flavor Hot Pot was like twice the size of the regular size hot pot. The soups from the beef and lamp hot pot tasted the same. We enjoyed the green or black tea that came with the lunch. The waitress was nice enough to give everyone at the table a free drink despite us only ordering three hot pots. We did not like the service we received. Took a while for the food to come out. We added on a bowl of rice in the middle of our meal and it took about 10 minutes for it to come out. We had the drinks sealed so we can take it to go, but she didn't seal it correctly and the drink spilled. The waitress also forgot to return our credit card. We would come back for lunch and get the large size hot pot to share among two people and order add ons. The servers seemed very inexperienced. We will be careful and not expect too much from the servers for our next visit. read more

Let me first start off by saying that I loved Tasty Pot! My first experience of Tasty Pot was in the Bay. And off the bat, I liked them better than Boiling Point because I liked their sauces better. Japanese miso was my favorite!! From that first time, I came back home to SoCal wishing that they would open one closer to me down here. So I was so glad when they opened one in Rancho Cucamonga.. until they discontinued my Japanese miso :'( And then they opened one in Alhambra and I was once again elated! I would come here whenever I was craving a warm and comforting meal, and it always hit the spot. Last week, I got a text saying Tasty Pot Alhambra changed to Malatang style and offered a discount. I was surprised, but curious as to how the change was going to be so I decided to come in and try. (Side note: I have had Malatang before at YGF and Zhangliang so that style of hot pot is not new to me. I was more concerned about the taste and flavors that Tasty Pot would offer) And...yeah..I'm disappointed. I chose my items just like I would at the other Malatang places that I've been to. They did have a good variety of options and the food was fresh. There's eight broth options to choose from, which is more than at the other places. I went with my usual bone broth(mild- bc I like spicy, but I can't have a lot of chili oil so I add chilies from the sauce bar into my broth after). I didn't have to wait too long for my pot to come out. During the wait time, I made my dipping sauce and got toppings. By the time I sat back down, it was only a couple more minutes before they brought out my food. The bone broth was very light, verging on bland. Compared to the other Malatang places, it didn't have the same depth of flavor so I had to add more seasoning. I wish that they had miso bone broth (like they used for the Japanese miso hot pot) as an option. Also, unlike the other style that Tasty Pot used to be, this bowl didn't stay hot the whole time (bc it didn't have the little fire under it -which I liked). All in all, I prefer the Tasty Pot from before. I do normally like Malatang too, but not from here. Other things: - They did remodel the place but it's not too different from before. Biggest change is that they added the bar for the food options. - Service was good. I was greeted right away. And the server took time to explain to me that they've changed the way they do their hot pots and what to do, in case I didn't know. - They do offer some premade bowls that are based off of their previous menu in the first section of the food bar. They had the beef, lamb, and Taiwanese options for a discounted price when I went in. - They also included a free drink with my meal. And honored the discount from the text so that was nice read more

Went for the rebranding to malatang. The layout changed so half of the space is used to build your pot and the other half is seating. After adding our ingredients to our bowls, we can choose a soup base. We got the golden spicy, tomato, and bone broth i think it's called. My favorite was the golden but all the soups were really good. Super rich and the ingredients soaked up the flavor well. Honestly I feel like I like the flavor of these soups better than the original tasty pot but not sure since I haven't been in a while. They had the usual malatang sauces you can make your own blend. They also offered free sweetened green tea or water. We do have to pay extra for a bowl of rice on the side which was around $2. read more

Tasty Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

Please read full review, thanks! Went in to celebrate my brothers moving into the area. We were a big group of 9, three kids and 6 adults. My parents are not big fans of seafood so choosing something was a little tough for them but we got two beef soups, the miso soup, several sides. I have one kid that loves ramen and two who are slightly pickier, so they had dumplings, fries and popcorn chicken. Flavor was 10/10, exceptional. We throughly enjoyed the different textures and all of the things that were in our different soups. I ordered a side of ramen bc my son likes udon and there was maybe 6 udon noodles in the soup we shared, lol. I will say that although the soups look large, the soup base is not enough for two people. I had to burry the ramen so it could cook. Taro, Thai and sweet milk bobas were delicious, highly recommend! Service was great as well. Staff was attentive, although plenty of staff, they do not stop to the table too often to ask if you need anything, which I guess could either bother you or not. As a mom, I like when the service staff asks if we need anything, we generally do! Please use caution when ordering off their online menu, which is encouraged as you sit inside the restaurant. Most of their plates contain peanuts. While their physical menu is clear on this, online menu is less evident. My brother's girlfriend is highly allergic and missed the tiny peanut symbol on the online app when ordering the beef soup. About 10 minutes into her meal, she was rushed off to the hospital. Thank God she carries an epi-pen. She is okay! Staff was notified. Staff was kind enough to remove their soup from our bill, since they had to leave from the restaurant. I thought that was considerate. I would advise owners to make the app peanut symbol larger and clearer. Despite the medical scare, we did enjoy our food at Tasty Pot! read more

I decided to have a late lunch here on a weekday and when I walked in almost every table was still dirty/not cleaned and they had plenty of seating available, but I had to wait for a table to be cleaned before sitting down. When the waitress sprayed the table to clean, the cleaning spray got all over me and I was kind of annoyed but I let it go. I have been here before, I remember not liking it, but because it's so convenient to get to, I tried it out again. They do have lunch specials but the price varies between pots and you have an option of green/black tea. I ordered the regular beef pot with green tea. They were out of green tea so I was only given black tea which was fine. Ordering is done online and the food was brought quickly. They have sauces to use but nothing special. Boiling point is known for their sauces and I really havent had anything else that can top that. The broth was so-so in flavor, nothing to rave about it was kind of bland. I would say some of the ingredients are slighty better quality (for example I liked the beef pieces they gave) but everything else like fishballs/meatballs/tofu etc are standard everywhere. I dont think they give enough ingredients, I find myself trying to look for more items. This place can get pretty pricy if you try to add more items or order any appetizers. As an overall dish and experience I just don't really see myself coming back here again. It was hard to find a waiter, whoever working today kept disappearing in the back to the point where one of the customers wanted to pay and had to go find someone by walking into their kitchen themselves. read more

Tasty Pot - 1. Beef Hot Soup Lunch - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

i had the kimchi dumpling soup - you can really taste the kimchi especially in the cabbage and it has a nice kimchi soup flavor. it's not to overbearing or subtle, it was just right. i ordered it just as it comes with a side of rice. in the soup is an egg(mix it when u get it) tofu, zucchini, fish cake, clam, dumpling, meat and more! popcorn chicken - really good, i personally like the way they do their popcorn chicken 10/10 calamari - i loved the calamari even more! hahaha super nice with the right amount of crunch and chew to my liking, it has a really nice flavor and texture it's very spacious; there's a lot of room, and there's a lot of air coming through since it sometimes gets hot in a hot pot place. they offer more soup and offer water refills pretty frequently so you don't have to worry about your soup getting cold or your water being empty! would come back here fs read more

Tasty Pot - 7. Kimchi Dumpling Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

Went there during Soft Opening under New Management. Promotion: automatic 15% discount off the bill. Minor/some changes to the interior. Not too much change, but I think I do like it better. Divider wall in the middle, new ceiling lighting (I do like the IKEA light fixture, but could use the same color temperature), side wall has been designed, etc. Service is definitely better. Our server came by to give us more napkins, refill the water, ask if we wanted refill on the soup/broth and even picked up my bf's jacket that has fallen on the floor. Thanks. Can order from scanning the QR code on the table or with the server. We went there for dinner. Taste was fine, just high sodium content. Think I'll try the veggie pot next time. Seems healthier. Price is not cheap being $19.85 & $24.25 per pot before tax and tip. Thank goodness for the 15% off promotion. Lunch is definitely a better deal. It comes with a drink and a buck cheaper for lunch. Note that it's no longer handmade drinks. We got Honey Jasmine Green Tea thinking it'll be like the Iced Green Tea from before, but it's actually bottled tea. They do give you a cup of ice to make it iced and the bottled tea actually doesn't taste bad. Not as sweet despite the sugar content stated. FOOD: #2 Lamb Hot Soup 4.25/5 #8 Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup 4/5 Got my pot mild spicy. Bf thought it was fairly spicy. Don't listen to him. It's pretty mild. Felt like I should have gotten it medium spicy. Didn't realize this pot is bigger until til later. Couldn't finish it/have a hard time finishing it. Overall, a good/solid pick for hot pot. read more

Came here with friends and thought it was just OK. They offer a good variety of hot pots, but this style is different--everything is cooked in the kitchen and then brought out to you with a small burner underneath. The food was fine, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise, and I've had better hot pot elsewhere. You order through a QR code, but the server doesn't come by to bring out the food, and you can ask for more broth if needed. Service was decent overall. With so many other options in the SGV, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Good alternative if you want to have hot pot solo. Nice open space. You order via their website which is on a QR code. The staff were polite and gave good tips for ordering.

The broth was thick and had just the right amount of spice which definitely hit the spot and was filling. read more

I'm a big fan of malatang. We've been going to YGF and Yin Tang for years. When I heard tasty pot revamped, I had to go and try it out. All these places have pretty good quality ingredients including tasty pot. 13.99 a lb is the going average among these types of restaurant. Sauce bar is standard but everything I look for and need. I usually aim for tom yum soup base so yin tang doesnt have it. I would usually have to drive to ygf but looks like I have a much closer place now!. This hits my tom yum soup craving. I know everyone's palet is different but for me, it's good. I got very spicy and it was just spicy enough for me to enjoy without dying lol.. My wife got the Taiwanese mala and thought it was good too. We got the bone broth as a side to try and to cook some udon for our daughter. Overall worth coming and will be back. read more

Stopped by Tasty Spot during lunch, and it was a pretty good experience! They have a free drink promo, similar to BP, which was a nice bonus. We ordered the beef hot pot, and honestly, it had more toppings and ingredients than BP's version. The broth was okay, but I still prefer BP's flavor and their garlic soy sauce. Everything else tasted fresh, and the hot pot was packed with a variety of ingredients. Service was decent. I also liked that I could put the fire out myself, unlike at BP. read more

Individual hot pot places are a god send. Have been to the OG places and trying out Tasty Pot. Was pretty empty when I arrived but helped so got the food quickly. Orders the beef and it was solid with it feeling pretty stocked with meets and veges. If you can take the heat, order it hot or extra hot. I ordered hot and felt it could be even hotter. Don't forget the dipping sauces on the tables. Prices at lunch are cheaper than dinner. Would recommend for an easy meal with a ton of variety. Btw, parking is kinda annoying with the two lots that feel safe but also feel kinda shady. Street parking feels safer but also farther and you just gotta be lucky. read more

This is a must try spot if you love hot pot. I always get the milky cheese and they load it with toppings every time. The meat is always tender and the broth is flavorful. I also got the popcorn chicken which was super juicy. I wish it had a bit of a crunchier crust but overall really good. There's a ton of seating inside and there's a parking garage around the corner. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

This was my first time eating here. I have to say, the size of the soup pot is more than enough. I tried the Kimchi dumpling soup with medium spice. When my soup arrived, it was a mountain of delicious hot pot piled on top of each other. I had to delicately stir and mix everything into my soup, but the flavor of the kimchi and all the fixings that came with it was amazing. We came during lunch which wasn't busy and were seating right away. The soup is served over a small burner to keep your soup hot while eating. You can choose to close the burner if you want, but I kept mine up to the point of boiling before turning it off. This place is large enough to accommodate large groups and there's a parking structure right behind the place with ample street parking as well. It's right on Main Street in Alhambra's downtown district. I want to come back and try their popcorn chicken and Japanese Miso soup and Beef Hot soup. I'll also try to up my spice level. Wish me luck! read more

Hot pot in individual serving is a novel idea, and each person can customize the spiciness level of the broth and the heat of the food by making adjustment to the fire. The ingredients were fresh, even though the cabbage could be cut into smaller pieces. Portion size was adequate--it's just the right amount for me, but you might leave wanting more if you're extra hungry. The stinky tofu wasn't stinky enough for me, but I believe it's due to new food regulatory rules. The entire restaurant was shockingly empty for a Sunday evening at 7 pm. One of the servers declined to take a group picture for us, which was unusual. read more

solid spot for single serving hot pot with the beef #1 as my go to order. decided to try the seafood one time since it comes with an entire lobster tail!!! it was a novelty but the meat ends up being tough from being overcooked. the lobster tail is also not seasoned at all so it was a nice one time try. minus one star because I had to go up and ask the waiter to take our order and later go up again to ask again for refills for our soup. I went on a weekday evening and it wasn't packed at all so I should not have needed to ask. Overall still one of my go to places for single serving hotpot. There's free parking structures nearby with plenty of parking which is convenient. i don't come here for lunch often but i believe the hot pot comes with a drink which is a pretty good deal! read more

We went on a Saturday morning right when it opened. We were a party of 8. We were the only customers. The waiter just told us to move the table to combine them to be a table of 8. He didn't bother to do it or help out. It was like self service. I had to go get the high chair myself for my little one too. When we asked the server to add more of the gel thing so the hotpot could be hot, he was like it's boiling. Clearly, it wasn't boiling, and there was almost no more fire. We even asked him is it he can't do it. Finally, he went in to add more. To order, you can scan the QR code. We were about to submit our order, then he came to the table to try to take our order. The food was ok. The portion was ok too. Feel like another hot pot place is better. Don't think we will be back. Automatically charged 18% tips, so pay attention to your bill. read more

Came in for lunch and there seemed to be only two on service staff. A little less that a third of the restaurant was occupied. The seating is spaced out comfortably and seems good for groups. Menu is a very similar concept to Boiling Point. With a fire underneath to keep things hot. The sauces are also the same three types. read more

Absolutely yummy. Perfect comfort food especially with the cooler months approaching. My friend got the beef hot soup which she enjoyed very much. I opted for the kimchi dumpling soup and it was divine! Served with all kinds of ingredients you get such a good variety of proteins and veggies. Weird thing was that the menu lists vermicelli or rice noodles as the two options. We wanted vermicelli but were given glass looking like noodles; still tastes good though. Piping hot they also served a raw egg right on top that you can stir in to cook. It does get extremely hot; mine boiled quite a bit. I didn't figure out until later that there was a little lever to turn off the heat. Wish that was specified somewhere or that the staff had cleared up if we knew what to do lol. The nice part was that when my broth got low they refilled it!!! Amazing hahaha read more

This is my 2nd time dining here. To be honest I only came here because I knew there is no line during rush hour. It's a back up choice for me if BP is busy and I don't want to wait. The food here is fine but it's not as tasty as BP in my opinion. Doesn't mean it's bad. It's just my preference. The soup is on the sweeter side for me. I was surprised they served hot water in a plastic cup. Pretty sure that's not safe. Friendly staffs although it seems understaffed here. Parking: street or parking lot in the back. read more
