    Sizzling beef over udon noodles
    Rose C.

    It was a busy Friday night and we were able to walk in and get a table for 2. First time dining at Tasty Pot. The menu looked interesting and the decor had good ambiance. They brought us water as son as we sat down. The online menu was pretty easy to use. I made a mistake with my husband's order and they graciously redid his meal. The food came out hot and sizzling/boiling. I loved that! We were not rushed and fully enjoyed our experience. I will be back to try one of the other hot pots.

    Lobster pot and calamari
    Stephen L.

    Let me lead with the best part, which was the seating and service. The 3 gentleman waiting tables and delivering orders were on point with their hospitality and within what is in their control. The ambiance was great too and the setting was quite welcoming and home feeling. Now to get to the food. We were very disappointed with it on the whole outside of the white fish, clams, and octopus. We ordered a calamari appetizer which was fully overcooked, recooked, or frozen without being thawed appropriately. The batter was overwhelming with seasoning that almost tried to mask the deep chewiness of the squid itself. We then hoped for more when ordering the lobster and sea food pot (ordered a second lobster alone too). The hot pot came with some pre-cooked items and then a mix of uncooked items. The lobster was overcooked and chewy and the shrimp were overcooked, while the rest was all right. I was anticipating though with the name that the lobster and shrimp would have been the highlight of the dish, and they were not. I would also add that it felt as though they bought the sea food medley directly from 99 ranch down the street for the remaining fish that were in the hot pot, and again did not even pre-prep them prior to throwing them in the pot.

    Curry hot pot (medium)
    Stephanie W.

    Tasty pot never disappoints and I always leave very fulfilled. Was seated promptly for lunch and there was no wait. We get our usual curry and lamb hot pot with medium spice but we always ask for a side of chili oil to add more spice if needed. All the sauces were filled and they even had napkins at each table which is a huge plus (esp when it gets too spicy) because I haven't seen this at other locations. Service was good and the staff offered to add more soup to our pots.

    Free green tea and black tea! Kinda sweet though

    I've been to a few Tasty Pot locations, but Milpitas Tasty Pot is hands down my favorite. The quality here just hits different. One thing that always stands out is the service--there's a male staff member who's almost always there, and he greets you with a warm smile every time. Super friendly and welcoming, which honestly makes the whole experience even better. I always go for the beef soup with medium spicy, and it's perfect. I've tried other spice levels and menu items, but I keep coming back to this. Not too mild, not overwhelmingly spicy--just the right balance where you can actually enjoy the flavor without it being too intense. Whenever I'm trying to decide where to eat, this is one of those "can't go wrong" spots. Consistent, comforting, and always satisfying. Highly recommend!

    We haven't had tasty pot for awhile, drove right over for dinner and had an amazing meal.

    Green Pepper
    Linh L.

    Stopped by Tasty Pot after noticing their new Green Pepper flavor and it did not disappoint! I had my usual Beef flavor while my wife tried the Green Pepper. Both were flavorful, comforting, and packed with ingredients. The broth on the Green Pepper pot had such a unique kick without being overwhelming. What I like about Tasty Pot in the category or personal hot pot, you are able to fully customize your choice. For myself, I love the toppings in the beef flavor, however I love changing the broth to tom yum. Anyways, great spot for a cozy meal and we'll definitely be back next time.

    The food was actually Tasty & full of flavor. We got there as they were opening their door. Good thing too because this place became full of customers in the blink of an eye. I would say that I wish all of our main dinner dishes came out at the same time. It made it weird to eat my udon noodle dish while everyone else was waiting for their hot soup. Their fried calamari was a hit with its tasty crunchiness.

    6. Healthy Veggie Hot Soup with beef soup base very spicy
    Michelle H.

    I love love love Tastypot its like the perfect comfort food no matter if its hot or cold outside. The soup and ingredients are always consistent and I dont think its ever been off in any way. My favorite pot would be the beef pot or the veggie pot with tomato soup. The variety in ingredients is great and I always feel like Im getting a very nutritious meal The workers here are super friendly and nice! I ordered a large takeout order once and one of the servers was kind enough to help me bring it out to my car! The store is really clean and everything is nicely decorated. Its my favorite place to have a casual dinner or a good hangout with friends

    Wow I had a wonderful dinner experience yesterday here at Tasty Pot Milpitas. I got their Japanese Miso Hot Pot and it was good, 4.5 stars. Funny enough, our table all got the same entree. Flavor was not too light nor overwhelming. If you want to add more spice for flavor, they have it on the side of each table. Portions were good too. I was so full. Also got their coconut lava balls which comes in 5 pieces per order, delicious, 5/5 stars. Service was spectacular from start to finish from all of their staff. They were very proactive and attentive in their service throughout to all customers whether it is helping navigate through their online menu, water refills, soup refills, or more napkins, they will come by and provide what they think customers need without needing to be asked. Interior is spacious, clean, and provides relaxing vibes.

    Tomato Fillet Hot Soups
    Michelle L.

    My third(?) time coming here with my group of 6+ longtime Milpitas friends! Parking is easy since it's located in a plaza. Walked in a little after 6:30pm on a Friday night and were immediately seated. Scanned the QR code at the table to order, and waters were brought out as we perused the menu I've gotten their beef soup twice prior, but I was looking at their new items and noticed a Tomato Fillet Hot Soup. They had varying new fillet hot soups, and it looked like the only difference was the type of soup they used (all the ingredients were the same). Opted to try the tomato one in mild w/ noodles. Didn't have to wait too long before the food started coming out! Unless you have dietary restrictions, I don't think you could go wrong with any of their choices. My vegetarian friends noted that there weren't many options for them (it looked like the Healthy Veggie Hot Soup was the only suitable option, but there lacked an option to add more protein - the consensus was that MalaTown had many more vegetarian options). Definitely enjoyed the Tomato Fillet Hot Soup! I did find two small bones in my fish, each about an inch long. It didn't seem like anyone else in my group who ordered the fillet soup had bones, but just be careful when you're eating the fish! Very comforting and casual meal! The total per person after tax and before tip came out to a little more than $20. Would be more than happy to come back!

    Beef Hot Soup and Fried Chicken Wings
    Meg C.

    Tasty Pot is definitely one of my favorite spots! The food is always amazing--everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to because you know you'll get a great meal every time.I also really appreciate how clean and well-kept the place is. It makes the whole dining experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. Most of all, the service is excellent. The staff are always so nice, friendly, and welcoming, which really stands out. They make you feel taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and great service in San Jose!

    Takoyaki and coconut sesame balls
    Sarah T.

    Food is always great here. I'm glad they serve sizzling plates along with hot pots because I'm the only one who likes the soups in the family. Food is ordered by QR code at each table and comes out really fast after the order is submitted. The cheesy hot pot medium spicy was delicious. The snacks were piping hot! The restaurant is family friendly so it can get rather loud but it's expected with groups and families. The server would automatically bring by sealed water cups and forks for young kids which is greatly appreciated. Tasty pot is a good choice when no one can decide where to eat for dinner.

    Eel Sizzling (Udon)
    Jason H.

    From the "New Item!" menu, the Eel Sizzling with Udon versus Rice) plate was a pleasant change from soup. The sweetness from the eel (and eel sauce) was just right. The egg, edamame, and udon noodles were a perfect mixture. The Takoyaki and soup dumplings were typical, but hot and fresh. At first, they said we ordered one Eel with rice and one with udon -- until we showed them our cart/bill with two udon. Other than that, service was attentive and our water filled.

Ordering from the kiosk was quick and easy, although the friendly employees are also happy to help if you prefer ordering at the counter.

Once my food arrived, I immediately dug in. I especially liked the cafeteria-style tray presentation, which gave the meal a fun, nostalgic feel. The chicken was crispy and crunchy with plenty of savory flavor, and the pickles were a standout. They had a satisfying crunch and added a nice tangy contrast to the rice, making each bite come together really well. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I also heard they offer daily specials featuring different dishes, which gives me another reason to come back. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area!

It's a good thing we did because the restaurant filled up completely 5 minutes after ordering. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern, they have some art up on the wall that was cool to look at. The food was definitely the star though. We tried the BBQ pork and shrimp noodle rolls. Both were really good but my favorite was still the shrimp. I loved the veggies in the roll too. They can be a bit hard to pick up and eat because they're massive and cut into thirds. Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting. It comes out PIPING hot so don't burn your tongue. Fish was tender and flavorful. Overall no complaints and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

It ended up being such a satisfying and well-rounded lunch that I can easily see this becoming one of my new go-to spots in the area. The price was also very reasonable for the portion size and variety you get in each box. The popcorn chicken was the highlight--perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside, and the fried Thai basil leaves complemented it really well. The minced pork over rice was also flavorful and made the meal surprisingly filling, although I do wish they were a little more generous with the amount of pork. I also appreciated all the sides that came with the box. The marinated egg was tasty, and even the cabbage and cucumbers were surprisingly good. I'm usually guilty of ignoring the veggies on my plate, but I actually finished these! I also took a gamble and ordered a brown sugar boba at 50% sweetness, and it was actually pretty decent. The boba pearls themselves were just okay, but the milk tea was tasty, refreshing, and not overly sweet at 50%. Overall, this is a great option for a quick, filling, and reasonably priced lunch.
