Tasty Pot actually serves food that's tasty in a pot. Sichuan hot pot was my choice of demise for the night; except if you get "medium" spice then it's not really spicy at all unless you're really bad with spiciness. However, the Sichuan flavor (especially numbing spice) is slightly present but not very forward. But it's a nice, hot .. hot pot where the food will make you feel very warm on a cold winter day, and it's seasoned enough that you really don't need dipping sauces at all. Service is .. well, could be better. For a table of six, a tiny little water jug is obviously not going to serve everyone; and on top of that the first instinct to do when there's an empty pitcher with an empty cup still there is to go and refill it Ambiance wise, it's pretty large and quiet; it's easy to have conversations here so good for large groups. Overall, food is pretty decent but service could be better. read more

Came here for the first time after ice skating. Restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated right away. I ordered the beef hotpot and honestly, I was not really impressed. In comparison to boiling point, the broth was lacking in flavor and a little bit watery. In my opinion, the hot pot had too much cabbage. In addition, service was not too good. They forgot my popcorn chicken order and did not bring it out until after the hot pots arrived. Servers also never checked in on us and was often very hard to flag down for service. Overall, not so good experience and probably won't be back. read more

Tasty Pot continues to provide excellent tasting food at very reasonable prices. The ingredients are very fresh and aromatic. The serving size is perfect! The service has always been good too! Jian is very attentive and helpful. I dropped a chopstick one evening and as I got up after picking it up he was standing there with a new pair! The restaurant is modern and clean. This is one of the better restaurants in the area. read more

My favorite hot pot place! And now that it's under new management I feel obligated to write a review. Every time we stop by, we are seated promptly. The ordering takes place via QR code, which is fine. However, now that the management has changed, I will say the servers are much more attentive. They stop by to ask if we need anything and refill waters (something that didn't happen before). The food/menu is pretty much the same and the taste is the same, so you don't need to worry about that. Prices are great as well and there is parking in several nearby structures. Definitely check this place out! read more

I liked that the server asked me if I wanted free green or black tea a few minutes after I sat down. The menu can be found on the QR code on the table. I ordered the lamb hot pot with vermicelli through my phone. I liked that the server came several times to see if I wanted more soup. There were lots of different ingredients and the meal was very filling. read more

Since the new ownership took over, the experience has improved even more. They're much more flexible now and are willing to accommodate dietary needs--especially when it comes to avoiding seafood. This includes not just the toppings, but also the soup base, which was a major limitation before. That alone makes a huge difference for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions. Top-notch service seals the deal. The staff is attentive, helpful, and genuinely willing to make your meal enjoyable. If you were previously hesitant due to seafood concerns, it's time to give Tasty Pot another shot. It's still delicious--and now, far more inclusive. read more

Food: So So, could be more flavorful Portions: Single Hotpot size (Size is good) Price: Not bad for what it is. Service: Not much, Scan QR code to order Atmosphere: Nice, simple, clean and comfortable My 1st time is this restaurant. Just walking around wondering what to eat and thought we give this a try. Once we walked in, the atmosphere is quite nice and comfortable. Not a whole lot of people during lunch time. The restaurant business is tough these days. There really isn't any service. We sat ourselves down. The waitress only came by and told us to scan the QR code to order. Did not offer us water or any beverage. So I ordered two pots what the QR code menu. Did not take too long to came out, which is good. The size of the pot is pretty good size, I could not finish it. The taste or flavor in the other hand is kind of blend. We both ordered the mild spicy. I thought it was my taste, my friend also said the same. The soup base is not very tasty. This is the worst soup base I had out of all the hot pot place I have been to. I'll stick with other places Services: there are really no service at all. We did not get seated by any host or waitress, we see ourselves, you ordered through a QR code. And someone will bring you to food. The lunch came with a drink, but we also asked for a cup of cold water and a cup of hot water. It never came. Restaurants are hesitating to hire more hostess, due to inflation expense and high salary expense. They could be a bit more attended. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty empty. The service was just OK. The 2 servers were just standing at the counter looking at their phones. I had to call them over to place my order. The menu is very similar to Boiling Point. Tastes were just a bit lacking compared to Boiling Point. The rice vermicelli used was overly mushy and it fell apart in the broth after only a few minutes. read more

Good service! Food is pretty good and also the rice is better than other Malatang places. I would prefer the old tasty pot more

Came in on a Monday lunch and there was no wait, there was a few other parties only. Spacious area and there is a sauce bar near the front. I wish there was a little more options, but to me it still had all the necessities I needed for my sauce. Also I think it's 15% off Monday - Thursday so that was a pleasant surprise! Popcorn Chicken - I read some reviews and many people liked this so I decided to try it! I loved the breading! Exactly what I want from popcorn chicken. Smaller/flatter pieces which I enjoy more for a crunch. 8.1/10 Supreme Thai - was craving hotpot and I would say this hit the spot. It was heavy in cabbage. Had a little enoki mushroom (would've liked a little more). Good amount of meat. Overall it was a lot of food and I couldn't finish so it was good enough for me! 7.7/10 read more

I thought I had written a review here after my first visit in May 2022, but it looks like I didn't, so here I go, as I'll likely forget what I ordered before. Stopped by Tasty Pot for a group dinner. I ordered the beef hot pot, mild spice. It came out pretty spicy though, so be aware. Plenty of variety in their hot pot offerings and in their hot pot inclusions. Disappointed with their use of single use disposable cup for the steamed rice and single use chopsticks, compared to other hot pot places. Look for parking in the nearby parking structures or with street parking. read more

Tasty pot is always a solid option when craving hot pot but there are definitely things that can be improved upon. Someone mentioned that the pots are more shallow than other places and that is somewhat true. One of the pots we ordered ended up overflowing into the square which made it a bit messy. For the beef pot (my standard go-to), it is filled with different types of fish cakes. However the amount of beef was barely decent. For $18, a little more would be nice... I do appreciate the fish cakes greatly, but a beef pot should have more beef. Service was good and the ambiance is fine. They blast the AC so even in the summer time, it's enjoyable to have some hot pot! On the upside, the broth is flavorful and they are currently doing a promo for July (free boba tea with check-in). I'm ranking this 3-3.5 stars because that normally means it's somewhere I wouldn't go out of my way for, but it's a solid option for when I'm close by and want some individual/pre-made hot pot. If you don't want to wait for Boiling Point, this is a good option as there typically isn't a wait! read more

I came here on a Sunday for dinner and there was no wait. This place seems to be kind of like boiling point with individual pots. I got to try both the beef pot and the cheesy milk pot which were both outstanding. I actually thought this was better than boiling point. You definitely get a large assortment of different meats and veggies in each pot. The soup tasted pretty good and also it came in a cool pyramid looking bowl. Plenty of parking on nearby structures on the same area as the restaurant. Also, looks like they have yelp checkin for a free boba drink. They only allow one per table but it was an insane value ($6.50). I got the Hokkaido milk tea with crystal boba for checkin and it was as good as other boba places. I'd totally be back! read more

There really is not much difference between Tasty Pot and Boiling Point, so both are great. I'm a big fan of BP, so I have a bit more loyalty there though. I came to eat here with some friends and it wasn't busy on a Sunday lunch, which was nice. Parking is also free in the parking structure behind the restaurant. The best part about coming here for lunch is that it's cheaper and you get a free green or black tea. I got the Stinky Tofu ($16.99) with vermicelli and black tea. I didn't like the type of tofu they serve here as much as BP though, so I'd opt for a different pot next time. Nonetheless, the ingredients and flavor is delicious. I always enjoy getting extra broth. This is a great spot for individual hot pot along the busy Main St. read more

Tasty Pot - Stinky Tofu Hot Soup. - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

Hot Pot has never been my favorite dish. This concept of eating over a flame and your soup boiling as you try to eat makes no sense. More than half the time, I'm trying not to burn myself - while racing to eat my food before the broth evaporates. The flavors are good - just overpowered by the soup base. As much as it's not my first cuisine choice, it's always someone's favorite. Just looking at the numerous hot pot restaurants that have opened in San Gabriel valley in the past couple of years, people just cannot get enough of it. I went with a friend. It was his turn to pick. My friend got the stinky tofu --- which wasn't as stinky as I was afraid it was going to be. Probably because the restaurant had great ventilation system and spacious. I thought my food was good. Service was attentive - but that is because we were seated towards the front, next to the cashier. read more

Friendly service and reasonable price. I got the Thai soup pot with mild, the flavor was just right not too heavy. Lots of seafood, fish cake and cabbages, the pot looks small but it has depth, lots of veggies hidden under the meat, almost feel it's a pot for 2 people! I saw other guests got the lobster tail hot pot, looks yummy! Something to try for next time! read more

Tasty Pot sure is tasty! The authentic Taiwanese flavors hold themselves true to their name! Come to Tasty Pot for a variety of authentic Taiwanese appetizers, boba milk teas, desserts, and of course, delicious flavors of the hot pot/hot soup! Who could say no to this on a cold day? I've been here twice already with different friends - one friend who has never tried hot pot and another who loves hot pot (just like me)! Happy to report, both of my friends loved it here. Not only are you able to pick from 12 different flavors of hot pot, but you can also order more perfect pairings of appetizers and boba teas. Different saves me the headache of thinking where I can get my next boba fix. I've tried two different soups here. The Sichuan Flavor and Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup are great. I got medium spicy on both and they were both delicious. All of the hot pots come with a variety of toppings that they curate just for the soup - can't go wrong with what the experts choose! The only thing is it comes with a lot of cabbage (I love cabbage) but I want to get the most for my buck so I honestly skip most of the cabbage and just dive into the other toppings since I get full pretty fast. Their teas or "A Chas" as they call it - I adore! If you come during lunch, you can get a free tea, too, to go with your hot pot. You can also custom your own tea with the tea and drink topping. I'm a huge Green Tea fan and Tasty Pot has my A+ rating for their Green Teas! Definitely give the Main St. Tasty Pot location a try - the staff are friendly, the food is delicious, and you'll feel so warm and toasty after! read more

Tasty Pot hits the spot. Where to go when it rains and hails in Los Angeles County? Anywhere with a fire heating a hot broth, of course. Not wanting AYCE, my friend suggested Tasty Pot in Alhambra on Main Street (located where The Boiling Crab used to be). We both ordered the Stinky Tofu Hot Soup ($16.99), which comes with a carb side and a drink, with me ordering vermicelli and green tea and my friend ordering the rice and black tea. The vermicelli given was a very modest amount, with me regretting not opting for the rice. Both the green and black tea were iced and if you want a hot beverage instead, there is an additional charge. The green tea was standard with some type of sweetener. The black tea, I'm told, was a bit more unique and gave a Thai iced tea aroma and taste. The Stinky Tofu Hot Soup had a variety of ingredients including Cabbage, pork slices, fermented tofu, mushroom, meatball, quail eggs, pork blood rice cake, etc. The broth was rich / flavorful and the spice level was perfect (I ordered medium). Definitely hit the spot on a raining and chilly day. Parking is fairly convenient as there's nearby street parking and a free parking structure on the north side of First Street. read more

Never been a huge fan of Boiling Pot. But my wife was craving it and nearby was this location so gave it a shot. Lunch pricing is available daily, not just on the weekday. It comes with a free green tea. I ordered the lamb pot and it was alright. Nothing to rave about. However, the lack of service was mindblowingly bad. Would probably never come back based on service alone. It took forever to get the check. We asked for water and it never came. We asked for sauces since our table didn't have any but it never came - so we just grabbed it from the table next to us. read more

Individual Taiwanese style hot pot. There were over 10 flavors to choose from and I tried both stinky tofu and beef pot. I liked the stinky tofu one. Very delicious and flavorful. Lots of proteins and vegetables. Lunch came with tea too. But the noodle/glass noodle size were pretty tiny though. I ordered extra but still wasn't enough for me (I do eat a lot though lol) read more

It's really difficult to find hot pot in Alhambra open during lunch hours, but I will definitely come back here.

Perfect on a cold day!!! It was our first time and the experience was pretty good. Service was fast, ambiance was inviting, and the Large portion was great for sharing. We chose the Large Thai Hot Soup and the Large Taiwanese Supreme. Both were fine, the Thai soup was too sour for my taste, but we found you can change the broths too!!! Maybe a different one next time, if BP had long line, we know where else to go. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place itself wasn't too busy. They were able to accommodate all eight of us relatively quickly. I was told this place was like Boiling Point but cheaper. I am not really a big fan of Boiling Point because of their service and food and this place honestly was quite similar. The only better thing is that it is cheaper but I wouldn't come here unless it's for a quick eat. Regardless, the Beef Hot Pot (non-spicy) was filling and warm on a cold, rainy day. read more

This place is my go-to spot for Taiwanese hot pot. The price to portion ratio is so much better than Boiling Point, and ever since I found this place I haven't gone back to Boiling Point since. As someone who is Taiwanese, this place gets my approval. My usuals include the Stinky Tofu Pot and the Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot or the Miso Hot Pot. You can modify the spice levels and if you come during lunch hours you get a complimentary tea with a choice of either green tea or black tea. There's plenty of seating, so waiting for a table shouldn't be an issue. read more

I got the beef hot soup with mild spice and it tastes like there was barely any spice. Needed that extra kick.

I'd have to go in person and give it another try. read more

This place changed after new management and it shows. First, they don't honor their yelp promo ad and ask for review/social media share in return. I declined and will not come back.

Came to try Tasty Pot a couple of weeks ago for dinner. The concept is nearly identical to Boiling Point, but I guess this restaurant originated from NorCal. I was impressed since this location is so close to home, I'll probably frequent it more often. I do think their hot pot holder can be a bit dangerous for small children as it does get a bit hot and the open flame area is bigger in their hot pot holder. However, they give you a cover to be able to extinguish the fire out yourself. There's definitely a generous amount of toppings for every hot pot and they can add broth for you whenever you need it. Hence their prices are more expensive, but I think it's reasonable because recent visits to BP is mostly just Napa Cabbage at the bottom of the pot. The dipping sauces are nearly identical to BP too: garlic soy sauce, chili bean paste and a chili oil. I liked mixing all three together. I ordered the Kimchi Dumpling Hot Pot since it came with dumplings, kimchi, fish cakes, shrimp, clams, pork slices, tofu, sausage, and an egg. I was able to make this into 2 meals! My bf and our friend ordered the Lamb Hot Pot and they both said the lamb wasn't too gamey and finished their pots. Restrooms were clean and service was decent even with the dinner rush. read more

A nice spot if you're craving hot pot similar to boiling point! I noticed that the portion is noticeably larger than boiling point which is a bonus for me. It is also a good shareable size for two people. They have a variety of soup choices (some come in a larger size so price will vary depending on the soup you've chosen). You can decide on the spice level and noodle/rice to go with your soup. They also have a selection of drinks and appetizers! I enjoyed the lamb hot soup (#2)! It was loaded with a variety of items. On the menu, they specify what ingredients are in each soup. The staff were responsive to my needs such as refilling the sauce and adding more broth to my soup! read more

Tasty Pot - 2. Lamb Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

It's wintertime in LA and that means noodle soup season which is one of the only things I like about this cold weather. Originally we were trying to go to California Hot Pot which is further west down Main St but the wait was going to be long and we were starving. Found this online and parked in the structure near Shin Sen Gumi and walked over. We got seated right away. It helped that it's very spacious so it can accommodate a lot of customers. Also clean inviting space. So the concept is similar to Boiling Point and they've got a decent variety of options with prices for dinner varying from about $18-$23. My bf got the #1 beef hot soup and I got #4 curry. Mine came with a of variety of veggies like Napa, emoki mushroom, corn and also lots of fish cake, thin sliced pork and a raw egg which I mixed in while it was boiling. The soup was just the right amount of kick (mild) and was deceptively filling. The pot looks shallow but actually has a lot. I knocked off a point because the service was just meh - waiters didn't come check on us other than to bring us the food and I had to flag them down just to get the check. Also the corn was sooo bland and chewy, no flavor at all. I do wish they allowed some customization for the different options as I had to bargain with my bf cuz I wanted one of his bean curd tofu pieces which mine didn't come with. Overall very filling for decent price point and pretty good quality food. read more

My boyfriend and I shared a curry flavor hot pot since the portion was just right for the two of us. We feel that the portion is slightly bigger than Boiling Point, which is a positive point for us. The broth was so flavorful and the flavor becomes more balanced when extra broth is added. We also ordered a dumpling add on, and we think that the dumplings pair well with the curry broth! We did notice that there was only one server and (possibly) only one chef, so they might be understaffed (at least for a Wednesday night shift). We also liked the interior as it felt spacious and inviting. Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to trying other flavors! read more

I realized this was the old Boiling Crab location. When I walked into Tasty Pot, the place was overly spacious and quiet, not too many people there on a Thursday night. I got the Taiwanese Hot Pot and the spice level was not adjustable so I thought mild was find with me but it was too spicy for me :(. Hot pot have come a long way since the boiling point days and meals average about 17-20 bucks now. read more

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Price: $$ ($18-$22) I was looking for a new hotpot place in the area and decided to check this place out but this ain't it. It was extremely busy at the time we arrive and we had to wait around 40 mins. Once we got seated, we ordered through the QR code as our server suggested. The service was okay because they don't enough staff to attend the customer. I only saw 3 staff working in the front of the house, which is not enough considering the amount of people dining in inside the restaurant. I ordered the Kimchi Hotpot it was good at first but it quickly turn to average. I cannot really taste the kimchi flavor and it was like a regular soup. The portion was decent compared to other hotpot joint. The popcorn chicken was good but for $8 I was expecting more portion. I would probably comeback but this hotpot place is not on the top of my list. Now the journey to find a great hotpot continues! read more

Honestly, this isn't the greatest experience I had at Tasty Pot. I ordered a Sweet Milk with Boba drink expecting there to be boba but instead, there was agar boba in my drink. I also made sure to tell them to not put brown sugar in my drink but they put it in anyway. Therefore, the drink was too sweet. Also, I had to kind of serve myself because I went to go get the bowls, chopsticks, and sauce bowl. The people serving us are nice enough to help us add soup and take our order but that's about it. read more

Service was good; the staff was attentive and checked in a few times to see if we needed more soup in our pots. I ended up getting a milk tea since they ran out of the creme wintermelon drink I wanted. The milk tea was decent not too sweet and it was also dairy-free:) read more
