We walked in and got seated immediately on a Sunday around 6 p.m., the day before Memorial Day. It was relatively full but sparse seating around the restaurant. As a long time Tasty Pot goer, I always get the Taiwanese Supreme which is the ultimate combination of surf, turf, tofu, and noodles in spicy broth. I opt for mild and even then mild can be spicy enough to keep the sinuses runny. I left the restaurant as a happy customer! read more

Ordered the lamp pot for takeout on a rainy day. The portion feels smaller than in store, but I enjoyed the flavors. The lamb didn't taste gamey and the two sauces provided that I added to the soup was a good flavor. read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner and had an alright experience. Towards the end of our meal we had noticed an odd hair looking thing in the soup and pulled it out. It looked like hair but we weren't too sure. We asked the waitress and they said it was from the mussel but I don't find that true as I haven't seen this before while eating mussel. Anyways here's a photo : read more

Tasty pot love coming here. Free tea when you go during lunch time. Just scan the QR code on table and order. I've tried most of the pots here and everything pretty delicious. I got the kimchi pot this time it was filled with kimchi, tofu, egg, lamb, shrimp, dumplings and more! Getting the tea with it is definitely a bonus. Pretty affordable and worth it. read more

Tasty P wasn't what it used to be and that's okay, or maybe they had an off night. With heavier reliance on the digital system, the only time the service staff interacted with us was to drop off our food and drop off the bill. No water refills, no broth refills, no "hi how ya doing", etc. Prices have remained stable though for years which was a pleasant sight to see with regular bowls being around $20 and the largest being around $23. The service gave me more of a Chinese restaurant vibe over a Tasty Pot experience but it is what it is. Maybe it is holiday fatigue setting in. Overall, still a solid place with good food and does the job to get me filled with a spicy kick. read more

Came here without a reservation and waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. You order by scanning a QR code. My friend got the curry soup and I got the beef soup--both were delicious, with ingredients like thin beef slices, vermicelli noodles, taro, and more. The lighting was bright, the noise level was moderate, and the decor was minimal. read more

A lot of reviews had an issue with servers being rude here but we didn't experience it. You'd order through a QR code so there wasn't much of an interaction but they didn't refill our water timely though. Taiwanese supreme pot - My fiancé loved this. He thought there was a good portion of a variety of meat and veggies and spoke highly of the broth's flavor. Seafood lobster pot - I got the mild original flavor and thought the broth was kind of bland. Lobster was fine but there were more veggies than seafood in here. 1 lobster, 2 shrimps, 1 tiny octopus, 1 ring squid, and 1 lobster ball. A-cha Thai milk tea - VERY watered down and lacked creaminess. A-cha mango green tea - VERY syrupy; no real fruit. Not to mention we almost got diabetes because it was insanely sweet. read more

Stopped by here on a Tuesday late afternoon for a party of 2 and didn't have any wait! I've been going to this Tasty Pot for many years and the pots/ experience never disappoints. We ordered the Kimchi Dumpling Soup and the Beef Hot Soup. I like that we can choose how spicy we want each pot to be and we also have the option of a carb with each soup (steamed rice or vermicelli). Both of the soups had so much flavor and the pots were a generous size and packed with ingredients. You can also choose some add-ons for your soup; my personal favorite is the roe fish balls! Staff members were attentive and the soups came out fast. Our server also asked if we wanted soup refills (a general soup base) whenever our soups were running low. If the soup gets too hot, you can also turn off the fire underneath the pot by moving the handle of the metal piece over the flame. There are really only 2 or 3 sauce options for the pots, but the soups are flavorful enough. My only suggestion would probably be for this establishment to use less plastic ie. the containers they provide us for the sauces are made of plastic as well as the drinking cups they give us. Besides that, Tasty Pot is pretty clean and is a great lunch/ dinner spot! read more

Went to Tasty Pot in Daly City with my best friend and it was so good! The hot pot was simple and to the point -- fresh ingredients, flavorful broth, and cooked right at the table. Portions were generous, perfect for sharing or just enjoying for yourself. It's a great option for a quick bite without any fuss. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe made it an easy, enjoyable meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

I've been going to Tasty Pot for awhile now, and one thing that I value about them is their consistency! At every location, the service, food, and decor are very similar. This one is no different! I always get the Taiwanese spicy pot, and it's always great. It's one of the bigger ones that they offer, and has a nice variety of food items! read more

Came here with a group of 7 on Sunday and got seated right away. It got packed at lunch time. Street parking is limited so I suggest parking in the structure and walking over. It's free. The hot pot is consistent with other locations. I always get the beef. I got the spiciest level, flaming. It's really not crazy hot if you have a high heat tolerance. You can get a side of rice or vermicelli. They serve it in a paper cup the portion is huge. read more

Tasty Pot - Beef - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

Decided to come here on a whim got seated right away. To order, you scan the QR code and place your order through your phone. I wish there was a way to add a note to your order but I'm sure you can do that when you flag down a staff member. My wife enjoyed the Lamb hot soup she got and I got the Takoyaki appetizer and the sizzling beef with extra meat. The takoyaki had a light crunch on the outside but soft, fluffy and steaming hot on the inside. The mayo sauce and garnish added a nice touch and added flavor. Really good, I would come back just for this. At first glance, the sizzling beef didn't look appetizing, but once I mixed everything together and let the meat sizzle for a bit, it actually turned out ok. The rice had some kind of butter on top that melted into the rice. I ordered extra meat but couldn't tell if i actually got it or not. The meat portion still felt short. I'd prefer it over their soups because I felt it had more flavor once I added all the sauces. Decently priced for $60 for 2 Entrees, and appetizer and tip. read more

3.5 stars..? Parking is easy in the lot nearby, service was alright since we used the QR code to place our order. Personally, I felt like my bowl tasted just okay. I don't know if it was an off day, but my broth did not seem to have much flavor. Their tea HITS though, 9/10! We got a regular green tea and it was so comforting-- it is not too sweet, which we loved and has that perfect balance of tea flavor that refreshes your palette! My sister and I came by on a Wed. night about an hour and a half before closing, and there were a few other parties there but plenty of tables open so we were seated quickly. I love that there are already sauces and sauce cups at your table, so you don't need to get up and down for your sauc The space feels clean, there are booths by the walls and chairs otherwise. They have a TV so the Golden Bachelor was on when we were there, and they are playing music in the background. I think a cool feature they have here that not many other hotpot places have is that you can order a pot but get a different broth with it. Maybe this could be why I felt the flavor of my pot was off... I'd give it another try though. I also like that their pot setups allow you to put out the flame whenever you want, rather than needing to flag down a waiter to put it out for you. However, not sure if my sister's was broken or damaged, but we were not able to put out her frame with the switch to cover her flame. These are not the biggest issues though, would come again. read more

Service is not good. Food is yummy though. My Uncle and I came here on a Wednesday for lunch. We shared the Beef with Egg Rice Dish and Sichuan Beef with Vermicelli Noodles Soup. The portions were good to share. It's odd they give you paper bowls to eat your food in. We wanted a second bowl to eat our rice separately but the server was no where to be found so we got the paper bowls ourselves. And we didn't know what to do with the sauce we were given. When asked what it was for, they were unable to communicate with us. We also asked what the ball was on top of the rice. We realized it was butter. read more

This place is terrible. Food is bland and tastes artificial. I heard good things about this spot but it was a huge letdown. Go anywhere else. This place tastes like cardboard read more

It's usually not too busy when I come here and the service is super quick. You order through a QR code and everything will usually come out within 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I do have issues accessing the menu via QR code to order but I'm guessing it depends where they sit me! I switch between getting the beef hot soup or the cheesy milk hot soup. The meat is tender and soup is flavorful. It's perfect on cold days which we all know is evident here in Daly City. There is a limit on items you can remove from your soup which kind of sucks especially when I don't eat all the toppings included. Wish that was something they could alter. I love their milk tea selections as well. It's not too sweet at all and I always look forward to an iced black tea crema when I'm here. read more

I've been coming to Tasty Pot in Daly City for about 7 years, and their Beef Hot Soup has always been my go to.

Tasty Pot - 1. Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

One of my favorite places to get food on a cold gloomy day! FOOD: I always order the beef soup and substitute it with the cheesy milk broth... let me tell you! This was an absolute game changer for me when I found out that I can substitute the soup for any of the other broth flavors! To swap out the broths is +$1 up charge but totally worth it in my opinion. When Tasty Pot first opened, they gave complimentary iced green or black tea and sadly they don't offer this anymore but I hope they bring it back. SERVICE: The service has gotten better over the years. The staff members are super attentive. My partner and I have gotten lucky every time we've come and are usually sat right away. Food comes out quick too, which is a plus especially for when we're hungry! PARKING: Parking is fairly easy as there's a parking garage that always has a lot of parking spots available. Overall I love this place and love dining here. Will always be one of my go-to's especially during this time of year. read more

Wanted a filling meal and decided to come to Tasty Pot. I've been here many times, typically getting Curry Pot or the Sizzling Beef Udon. I decided to try the Cheesy Milk Pot and it did not disappoint. It had two of my favorite items, the fish tofu and quail eggs. The broth was nicely seasoned and the cheese complimented it surprisingly well. Service is pretty good, nothing special but the staff is attentive. read more

Tasty Pot - Cheesy Milk Pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

our go to spot whenever we're craving something soup but not quite ramen! i personally would recommend going during lunch because they offer this really good tea with the meal! i want to say it tastes like chrysanthemum tea but it's perfectly sweet and pairs nicely with whatever you choose! this time around, my fiancé and i went on a weekend. it was already quite crowded around 6:20 PM. you order via a QR code but you can also ask for an actual menu (service can be kinda spotty so it may not load on your phone). they're pretty quick with getting your order out so we didn't wait for that long. i really like their thai soup because it's tom yum! it's always the right amount of sourness that i enjoy! i will say that the items in the hot pot order isn't always consistent though - each time i go, i find different items in my hot pot. my fiancé tried the sichuan for the first time and he mentioned it was spicy but not too spicy to the extent you won't be able to handle it! i think it's also great that you can adjust the spice level when ordering as well. read more

Went here on a chilly Halloween day and this is what my boyfriend and I exactly needed! We got here a few minutes after opening and there were already people inside eating too! As there was not too many people eating here, I assume the place gets really busy later on. Menu is a QR code at your table. I chose the Beef Hot Soup. It was amazing and perfect for this chilly weather! The broth was great, I couldn't stop sipping on it. Meat was cooked nice and tasty. You also get a complimentary tea (green or black tea) with your order, but I must say they were surprisingly a bit too sweetened for my liking but still tasted great! Overall, a great experience. tip: if you want water, ask for it. They don't give you water as you sit down. Maybe if you order it, I'm not sure, since I ordered tea with my meal today. I also saw a few others who were also not served water. However this didn't bother me, if you need water don't be afraid to ask! read more

While the quality of the food remains consistent every time I come (kimchi dumpling tasty pot for the win), I think the other components of the experience are starting to slip. They now automatically include 18% gratuity and so they care less about the customer service aspect. We had someone quickly put down our green teas and leave right away and again come back to quickly drop off our sides of rice and then leave right away again, we weren't able to ask them any questions. We finally were able to flag down one of the guys and ask for more napkins and waters (they only brought us 3 waters even though we had 5 people at the table). No refills on your green tea either, no coming by to ask if we wanted a top off of our broth. You also pay an additional 25 cents if you want a to-go box (and you have to seek them out to ask for a box as well). read more

Great for families and big groups! Ate here with my family (group of 10) and only had to wait around ~13 minutes before we were seated. It was busy on a weekend evening, but it added to the lively, bustling atmosphere. The beef hot soup tasted the savory and slight tomato-y flavors. It had cucumbers, imitation crab, tomato, and noodles. Loved how generous the portions are as I shared with my mom. I enjoyed how sweet the taro milk tea was and the boba's chewy and firm texture! Our whole family got a drink were overall satisfied. For parking, there's a nearby parking structure with lots of spaces. Overall a good experience! read more

Used to go this place all time. Today i went there after many years and it is gonna be the last time. Food was good but service was bad. I wanted the lid to cover the sauce cup after not finishing up. Waitress said "Sauce is not for togo!" I mean how would i put the sauce to eat at home? So I had to put it on the rice. Now it is not that good to eat with sauce all over the rice. It's just a sauce. Not cost a lot! Not going back again. Customer service kills the restaurant! read more

Tasty Pot - Waitress didn't let me use the sauce lid so I had to put all the sauce on the rice for my leftover food. She said, "Sauce is not for togo" - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

Food was fire, service was just okay. I got the cheesy milky hot pot and it was so good--super flavorful and comforting. The tea that came with it was great too. Service was kinda all over the place. No one could confirm if the vegetarian option was actually vegetarian (??), which was annoying. But honestly, that's kind of expected at some Asian spots. Ambiance was fine--nothing special, just a typical casual hot pot vibe. I'd come back for the food, though. read more

I always feel guilty and my throat *heated* after eating at Tasty Pot but it satisfies my cravings once in a while. My go to is always #5 the stinky tofu. The prices are getting out of hand though, a couple add ons (cheesy milk broth and satay sauce) and it is well over $20 after tax and tips. I did not know you can request for a different broth for $1 and definitely getting the cheesy milk broth from now on. It is subtle and the small bit of cheese is nice with the spice. I love going for lunch because they give you a free iced green or black tea. read more

Tasty Pot - stinky tofu in cheesy milk broth - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

I used to love Tasty Pot -- especially the old Richmond location -- so it felt nostalgic coming back for a comforting hot pot night. The setup still hits that cozy vibe: steaming broth bubbling over a tray, piled with sliced beef, tofu skin, lotus root, and a bit of everything from corn to tomato. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn't fully match the memory. The ingredients feel a bit pre-cooked, and the meat was just okay -- edible, but nothing that makes you pause mid-bite. The soup, though, still carries that savory depth Tasty Pot is known for, and it's definitely the highlight of the meal. The space itself is showing its age -- could use a little refresh -- but for a quick solo or casual date hot pot, it still scratches that itch. Not the Tasty Pot I once loved, but I'll always have a soft spot for it. read more

No complaints here! Went in for lunch over the weekend and the place was pretty quiet so we were seated right away. You order via QR code and the food came relatively quickly.

Definitely satisfied a craving I'd been having. The meal comes with a drink and we chose an iced green tea and an iced black tea which was so good. I think it was the favorite part of our meal. read more

This is my go to spot if I'm eating by myself. I enjoy having a personal hot pot especially when it's cold outside. You order off a QR code. The food comes out quickly. My go to is the lamb pot. I tried medium spice for the first time and it wasn't too bad. I have a pretty low spice tolerance. They have a rewards program if you like to come here frequently. Out of all the locations, I'm not the biggest fan of this one. The servers don't come to check on you often. I had to keep asking servers for water and more soup. I understand that ordering is all virtual, but I think it's important to still check in with the customers. read more

Tasty pot in Daly City is interesting...because it feels like a complete spinoff of the usual tasty pots. Not bad, but also surprising to me who expected more traditional menu items. This location has a good variety though so for those who want to come and friends don't want hot pot, they can get a sizzling rice plate (similar to pepper lunch), popcorn chicken, mozzarella sticks, etc. You can also order beer too lol. My kimchi dumpling pot was alright. I wouldn't order it again. Mild spice was basically no spice and the broth tasted pretty bland. read more

We came on a quiet Tuesday night for a little birthday party. The parking was pretty sparse and the space was decently big. The food was okay. If you're lookin for something quick, easy, and decent quality, this place is the spot. The portions were nice, though, much of the food comes overcooked. Usually I put a lot of the food on a separate plate, but it came super dry and overcooked when it got to me. It's solid.

I've always been a fan of Tasty Pot, but I've only been to this Westlake location twice, while I've been to the Clement location in SF multiple times. I am normally a fan of their beef or lamb hotpot, which I feel like you can never go wrong with! I have always eyed their curry hotpot, but was too afraid to order it since I feel like curry can be a hit or miss, but the curry one is now my new stable order! I always get the spiciest level and the complimentary vermicelli, which now comes in a paper cup. I felt like the curry was really faint and the spiciness overpowered it so next time I'll get a lower spice level. I use the paper cup the vermicelli comes in as a bowl to put my food in and eat from it instead of directly from the hotpot so it can cool down a little before eating. If you come during lunch, your hotpot order comes with complimentary iced green or black tea. They also have boba and tea for purchase. I also saw that they now offer non-soup options with rice! Their menu is all online since COVID(QR code), so I didn't get a screenshot of it. The waiters also came by twice to offer us more soup, which I always accept because I love soup! You can order on your own phone, but the bill comes as a single bill. There is a parking structure attached to the restaurant, but you still need to go out to the restaurant to get to the parking lot. read more

Tasty Pot - Curry Hotpot - Taiwanese Near Me - Daly City, California

Have been to this location a few times and the one in North Beach as well. This location is less classy than NB but is easier for parking and access, away from the hustle and bustle of NB. If you want to be around the crowds and heightened atmosphere then go to NB. For fast easy meal come to Daly City. You scan a barcode on the table to place your order via the app but we found it difficult to use given they have so many options so ask the wait staff to take your order instead. Regardless the food is great and for a one and done entree you can't go wrong. They have many one pot options at various price points. You can request 5 levels of spiciness from none to extremely spicy. They bring you the one pot (actually a small wok) entree with all sorts of meats and veggies in a savory broth you select. There is a sterno candle underneath to heat the broth and further cook the ingredients until soft and tender. In addition to the one pot they have add on meats or veggies to cook like hot pot in your broth. They will top up your both at no charge if you need more. They also have cold tea drinks and boba (I think) too. Great way for large parties to each have their own meal selection. To me not as good for family style but a one pot entree could be shared by two people. Just add a side dish and or appetizer to round out your meal. read more

Food-wise, my latest experience at Tasty Pot was better than the one before, primarily because I felt like there was more food in the bowl. My boyfriend disagreed, which makes me think the portioning is very inconsistent. For reference, we've been to various Tasty Pots across the Bay area, and I have to say this is one of the worst locations. Unfortunately for us, this is the closest one. Service was mediocre at best, as per usual. The waiters didn't greet us, speak to us, or check on us throughout our meal. It was very matter of fact rather than welcoming. I'm not sure why management can't train their staff to be more friendly. They are always somehow rushing around, but never really doing anything to help customers. It's just so strange. This last time, the bottle of sweet soy sauce we had on our table tasted like it had gone bad or been messed with. It was burnt / smokey and vinegar tasting, with weird chunks in it. We flagged it to a waiter and eventually someone brought us another bottle. They just left the suspicious bottle on another table rather than looking into what was wrong with it. That feels like a serious health hazard to me because it tasted so, so off. Just a warning for future diners. read more

My recent visit took place on a weeknight in June. Our group of 6 was quickly seated. Pleasantly surprised that the wait staff brought a sealed water cup for the kiddo in our group before the kid actually arrived. Thank you. Each person ordered via the QR code, food was brought out accordingly and in a timely manner. My only gripe was the soup broth. I ordered the Japanese Miso Hot Pot, and everything tasted fine during the meal. However, about an hour after eating, I was super thirsty. In fact, I was thirsty the next morning. My question is how much MSG was in each soup broth? I can't say that I'll be back any time soon. However, props for good service (even though I rarely take that into consideration at most Asian restaurants). Restrooms were also clean. Ample parking in this plaza and overall, a convenient location. #16/2024 read more

This Tasty Pot location is on the outer edge of the Westlake Shopping Center, facing the street-side. There is a parking garage, which is pretty convenient. Not the best service, the employees were not friendly and they were very inattentive as well. I ordered their Beef Hot Soup, while my cousins ordered a variety of their other pots. Just like any other of their location, so our food was nothing spectacular. Just nice to have something warm for the cold SF / Daly City weather. Overall, the service was just horrible - they sat us in the other area / room away from the main dining area, so it was hard for us to get the attention of any of the employees about anything we need. When we see the employees through the doorway, we would raise / wave our hands, and while a couple of employees would acknowledge us, they would never come back and the rest of them would pretend they did not see us. read more

Food was good. Restaurant and bathroom were clean. I came on a Friday and hung out with my friend for hours there while eating and catching up.
