It had been a while since I first tried Tasty Pot years ago so decided to stop by recently when I was on U of MN campus. I was disappointed in the experience. The waiter was not very attentive, the food quality didn't seem great, and the hot pot broth wasn't very flavorful for a hot pot that was over $20. read more

I usually don't choose to eat hotpot but I went here with some friends and I am starting to change my mind how I feel!! I've gone here once before and didn't love it but I will definitely would come back. I got the beef hot soup. It contains a variety of food like like napa, beef slices, enoki mushrooms and more. I liked that is was already a set rather than everything being a la carte. I also added instant ramen because I loveeee anything with noodles. I shared it with a friend and it was a pretty good portion for the two of us! They do have different sizes to choose from as well. The service was good and everything came out fast and efficient. If you are a hotpot lover I would check this place out! read more

I'm a fan of the single serving hot pot concept, although you could argue their larger pots can easily be split between two people. Parking can be somewhat of a challenge as it is in Dinkytown, but nothing beats hot soup especially during the winters we get here. There are plenty of options available along with ones with no spice so everyone has something to try. Of course with it being in Dinkytown you've got your choice of dessert options to get a sweet treat afterwards. read more

We were able to get seated right away! Everyone order their own hot pot, which was nice since this hot pot had everything you need and it just comes out cooked and boiled for you like a one pot soup. The Tom yum soup was very flavorful and it was pretty big for one, but not impossible! The beef flavored one was probably one of their most popular one and I would agree! I wanted to switch with my partner after trying his tasty pot. They also give you this house made sauce that you can dip your meats and veggies with. read more

Came here for late lunch on a weekend and it was not too busy. Seemed like they only had one server but they were efficient in seating and ordering process. We ordered the Szechuan spicy pot and the Japanese miso pot. They were both the larger portions! It also comes with a side of rice or noodle. We both opted for the noodle and they provided vermicelli noodle. I enjoyed the Szechuan spicy pot as it definitely had a kick to it (medium spicy)! My pot had lots of ingredients ranging from tofu, tofu skin, fish ball, beef, fish, veggies, mushrooms and more noodles! Overall I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely be back as this is the perfect meal on a chilly day. read more

Quiet and cozy restaurant~ had plenty of seating when arrived and was assisted pretty quickly. The menu items were easy to choose from but the downside was you weren't able to swap out some of the items for something else but definitely allowed to remove items. Food was filling - really enjoyed the individualized hot pot and thought my soup was spot on - I got the Kimchi Dumpling soup. Wouldn't mind coming back here - 7/10! read more

I was surprised when I finished the Lamb Hot Soup since it gave the impression that it was for more than one person. That aside it was one of the best foods I've ever had at a restaurant. I was in need of a meal that was as good as beef but not strong that day that could warm me up and not overfill me and the portion size was just right. Most of all, the white rice that came with the dish was one of the best I've ever eaten. Eating a chopstick-full by itself after having some of the soup has a great taste to it that's rare for me. One other thing that's good about it is the meal is kept at a constant temperature that keeps the food from going cold so you can continue to enjoy it. Compliments to the ones who made the meal. The cost for my meal was surprisingly affordable for one person, which was around $28-$29, great food for a great cost for one person depending on what you have and decide to include when ordering. For a family it's a nice place to go have lunch and/or dinner together in. For one person, save for the socializing happening around you, it was a nice place to eat a good meal in peace especially if you have music to listen to. Service was good, the employees are nice and judging by the cleanliness of the tables they care about providing a good place to have a meal in. I see myself coming back at some point, maybe with family or by myself to have the same experience when the timing is right. read more

This is the place to go to for hot pot. I'm always finding myself craving them. The portion size is amazing! They really load it up with veggies and proteins and they don't skimp out on you. I usually get #1 (the beef one) with a side of rice. I am completely stuffed afterwards. The people who work here are AMAZING. They come around asking if you want more water, dipping sauces, or sometimes even more broth. The service is fast! The vibe feels like if you're sitting in a restaurant surrounded by family and friends. It's pretty low key and loud with people talking and laughing over food. read more

Tasty Pot is my favorite Taiwanese hot pot restaurant in the nation. I was so happy to hear that Minneapolis has one now! It's as good as the ones on the west coast. My go-to hot pot is the first one on the menu. The flavors are well-balanced and come with everything that I like such as beef, napa cabbage, clear noodles, imitation crab, meatballs, and corn. It also comes with your choice of rice or noodle. This location is a lot smaller than the ones I've visited. As for parking, there's street parking which is about $2 for an hour. read more

Updating my review because the service has gotten faster the last few times I've gone. This is def my favorite hot pot spot in the Cities because of the quality ingredients and flavorful broth. It's your own pot and everything is already in the pot for you, but you get a lot of food and you can have a side of rice or noodles (I always end up with rice) . They don't have a sauce bar but you can request dipping sauces. It's hard for me to try new soups because I am loyal to the stinky tofu, beef, and Taiwanese soups. The boba tea is also decent here. The space itself is small, but there are a good number of tables for smaller group that could be combined for a bigger group. read more

I came here with a large group (reservation) and we were sat down quickly and efficiently. I didn't order any food, and just had their green hot tea. Their cups were compostable, but I was disappointed that they didn't have their own cups for it. The interior design was nice and the chairs are sturdy. The room was well ventilated so I wasn't chocked with smelling other people's food. There was a little miscommunication with what I tried to order but that was **my fault**, so if you come here make sure to communicate clearly. read more

VEGAN REVIEW! I gotta preface that Tasty Pot is my among my hotpot place of all time in California! I will say that the quality of the pot in Minneapolis is good although not quite equal to California. Less variety in the veggies and quality of ingredients isn't the same. More cabbage than other veggies. Instead of having sauces on the table for customers to customize their sauce, you have to request for it. Which they make their own customization and bring to your table. Not the best sauce for dipping or pot I've had. I'm not sure why it's done this way here, but if you wanted some tasty pot in twin cities, it'll do! ^_^ service is good though. read more

I don't have a good hotpot place where I live so when I found out about Tasty Pot, I had to go. This was my first meal in Minneapolis and it did not disappoint. It reminded me so much of Boiling Point which I have pretty often when I travel to Los Angeles. It was exactly what I needed and I'll definitely be going back whenever I'm in Minneapolis. read more

Tasty Pot - Minneapolis - Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

One of a kind restaurant in Minnesota! I've been to this place so many times I can't even remember but this is the first time giving it a review. A little restaurant located in Dinkytown by U of M. It's always the place to go to when it's raining, or snowing, or just cold outside. You order your individual pot filled with different meat, veggies, broth flavor, and noodles. Each order comes with a choice of vermicelli noodles (clear noodles) or rice. All the of the pot will come with some sort of noodles in it already at the bottom. I usually get the rice because I love rice. The premium pots are a little bit bigger than the standard ones but also cost a little more. Some pots makes sense with more seafood but some pots are not wort the $3-4 more. The pots are also cheaper during lunch but I think it comes with a little less in the pot as well. I think that one normal pot is enough to fill the belly. If I get the premium, there's always extra to take home. So the portion is good. You can always ask for more broth. They have a generic broth to fill your pot up (not your specific broth because that would be too much). Their spice level is asian spicy. I eat pretty spicy but like their mild spice level more than medium. Just the flavoring is better in my opinion. They do have chili with oil so you can always spice it up more. They have 3 different sauces but during covid you'll have to ask for it and they'll bring you individual bowls. I love their sweet sauce with a little of Chili oil in it. Social distancing wise the tables aren't 6 feet apart since the place is really small but they try. It won't be the place for you if you like the space. Pretty sure they use tap water but I would never want to drink it because it tastes bad. I think they should get a filter to filter the water or a better filtration system especially during covid. Tastes like straight tap water from the sink. They do have boba teas if you're interested. But I would recommend to stop by kungfu tea after down the block. I like it better there. Now to the food!! Beef hot soup- this is my favorite soup here! Always my go to but once in awhile I'll try something new but usually a disappointment. The broth to me seems the most flavorful and I like all the stuff inside the pot. My bf only gets this. Although one time I think we got bad meatballs in our pot. 4/5 Kimchi- the one today is quite flavorful and yummy this time. Even my mom who is picky says it was good. I like that they have dumplings in this pot. The first time I had it, it was a little too sour (kimchi) and didn't taste as good. I guess it's a miss or hit sometimes. 4/5 Sichuan- this is something new I tried today and I would never try again. The broth is bland and spicy. There was no flavor to it except being spicy. I was disappointed because I love sipping on the broth. I got mild but it was at least a medium. So expect bland spicy if you get there. There was nothing special with the meat and veggies either. As I got near the end of eating the pot, I can taste herbal seasonings (like herbal medicine) which was weird. Even my mom thought it was weird and didn't like it. So if you don't like bland spicy broth that has an herbal taste stay away from this. This is definitely not worth the $4 more because the stuff inside is generic and nothing unique. I think it should be the same price as the non-premium pots. 2/5 I've also tried the Vietnamese seafood, Thai flavor, Japanese flavor, and seafood but those were all ok flavoring not the best with the price honestly. 3/5 The service is always good. It's always the same waiter. Today there were only 2 people working. Sometimes service could be a little slow when they're super packed as well. 4/5 Would prob give this a 3 stars but since my go to is the beef hot soup I give this place a 4 stars. read more

Perfect meal for a cool evening. Your soup comes with rice or noodles. The soup bowl comes on it's own fancy asian themed gas burner with a control switch so you can control the temperature of your soup to your liking. There was plenty of meat and veggies. The broth was comforting and not over powering. You also pick how spicy or no spice you want your soup to be. The bowls look big but we all ordered our own and had left overs for later. It was a fun experience located in the dinky town area by the U of M. During the pandemic currently they do have dine in and take out options. There is no outside seating. We didn't order their teas but they looked good also! read more

Tasty Pot absolutely lives up to its name as being, well, pretty damn tasty! The portions are HUGE. Even if you opt to not "refill" your broth (which is just adding more boiling water) the amount of food you get for the price is pretty fair. They do have locations all over the US and Canada, so YMMV but the service was speedy and friendly - they were prompt to get our order and attentive. The food itself - I ordered the beef hot pot since it was my first time there, and the broth was absolutely the highlight of the dish. It tasted beefy and not watered down, which I appreciated. Just be aware if they refill your broth, it's obviously just going to taste like a watered down version of whatever spices are left in your bowl at the time. For the ingredients itself, I do wish they put a little less cabbage. Proportion wise to the rest of the meat, it's probably 50% napa cabbage and 50% the assortment of meatballs, beef slices, other fish sticks/cakes. You also do get to customize how spicy you want your dish - some broth options are inherently more spicy than others, so do beware when you're choosing. I chose medium, right in the middle, and I thought that was plenty spicy for me. You can also choose to have rice or vermicelli noodles, and while I enjoyed having the noodles in my dish, I do feel like they don't give you a lot. For the amount, you do get more with the rice option instead. Overall, it was a great place to be on a cool morning! Parking is inconvenient (it's located right smackdab in Dinkytown) so circle around the block or plan on street parking the next block down. Also - ask for the dipping sauce. You don't get to make your own, but the dipping sauce is pretty bomb. Just do it. You can thank me later. read more

Tasty Pot - Minneapolis - two plates of food on a table - Taiwanese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Trust me when I say I've had Tasty Pot before... this Tasty Pot place was not even close to what I had in SoCal area in California. I was so excited that I found one here in Minneapolis, but it turned out to be a disappointment! The cook needs to go to one of the California locations and learn to do it right. The taste was so off. Even the sauce didn't make it take any better. It was lacking a lot of broth flavor. I'm sure a lot of people agrees with me on this. If you've had it in Cali (there's multiple locations) you would know they are consistent with flavor and service. I'll give it another try and give another review. I just hope it's not another disappointment. read more

This spot was my first time trying out Taiwanese Hot Pot and honestly... I'm HOOKED! Warm, hearty broth filled with veggies, meat, seafood, and/or more! Soooo tasty. Plus, there are so many combos of hotpot you can choose from - you can't go wrong! Great pricing, friendly service, and HUGE portions keep me coming back here. Plus, the hot. yummy hot pot is the perfect meal on a cold, snowy day in Minneapolis! They have a very simple menu showcasing the different type of soup/protein combination they offer. After that, you adjust how spicy you want your dish to be + choose between rice or glass noodles to complement your dish. My go-to dish is the "Spicy Taiwanese Hotpot" but I've also had the "Curry Flavor Hot Soup" and OG "Beef Hot Soup" and they were good as well. If you have any questions about ordering or specific dishes, the staff is very polite and friendly. Street parking is available around the restaurant. There are booths to pay in person or you can utilize the city parking app called "MPLS Parking" :) read more

I was surprised that there are so few hot pot places in Minneapolis. Tasty Pot came up in my search so we decided to go here. I was able to be seated right away at 1pm on a Saturday. It took a little bit for the servers to come around to take our orders. There were many hot pot options. I got the Curry one at Very Spicy and it truly was very spicy! I liked the variety of items in it. I had wished the add-ons wouldn't be as pricy, but maybe they are meant to be shared. I ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. It wasn't the best bubble tea. The boba seemed like it had been made a while ago. read more

If you're into pointy ears dudes, you probably want "Tasty Spock." Whereas if you like breadsticks with chocolate on them, you prefer "Tasty Pocky." And if you think Ariana Grande and Katy Perry are sexy, then you like "Tasty Pop." Lovely little authentic Chinese-Taiwanese Hot Pot restaurant which also serves questionable Bubble tea that I didn't love. In fact, with Kung Fu Tea around the corner, it really can't compare. Not to mention, my Boba cup was leaking and I got soaked in Milk Tea. Nobody helped me. I had to get a to go cup and transfer it myself. This after they took my money and then had me wait about 15 mins for the Bubble Tea while dealing with dine in people. But it's a good place to go in Dinkytown Minneapolis if you want some tasty mid-priced Chinese eats, mostly unhealthy hot-pot types. Popular with students and dinner dates alike. Plus I think even students go on dinner dates sometimes. If the service or Boba had been better, it would get a higher rating. read more

I LOVE hotpot so I do like Tasty Pot. My favorites here are the Japanese Miso and Thai hotpot. Both the Japanese and Thai soup bases are very flavorful and come loaded with a variety of different things like veggies, noodles, fish cakes, etc. One complaint is that prices have slowly been increasing. I've noticed that the price has increased maybe 2-3 times since they've opened ~2 years ago read more

Tasty Pot - Minneapolis - Taiwanese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place is so similar to a restaurant in Houston called "Tasty Point" because of the semi similar menu options and to the dishes they used, that I almost thought this was a chain. The menu is slightly different and didn't offer a custom DIY hotpot. It has a variety of side orders you can add to your own. The price is a bit pricy for an individual hotpot at $18 for the dinner portion. I got the #9 spicy Taiwanese hotpot and ordered a bunch of side dishes. 3.5/5. It was okay, nothing mind blowing. For the price here, I probably wouldn't come back to this place when I can get it at somewhere better for cheap. They have boba here and as much as I wanted to try it, I didn't get the chance to. Maybe for that, I'll give it another try one day. read more

I randomly went here when I was wandering Dinkytown super hungry on a Saturday early afternoon. It was actually my first hot pot experience! The menu was really easy to understand for a first-timer like me. The service was also very quick and friendly. The portion was humungo! I think I finished my leftovers in two different sittings because I had that much leftover. For all that I've heard about hot pot, this place didn't blow me out of the water but it was good enough that I would definitely go back and am excited to try out more hot pot. Next time I want to try their $1.99 boba deal also! read more

Individual servings of hot pot has my heart. I love that you get a bite of everything in something like this, and not killing your stomachs with all you can eat options. I'm super stoked to find Tasty Pot on a work trip to Minneapolis, this brand is originally from Taiwan and is all over California. I am usually a Boiling Point fan but I'm down to try new places. The food and the flavor was decent, I had the Taiwanese stinky tofu option but I think this is a franchise and the service was ok too but really what took away a little bit of brilliance is the lack of attention to detail on cleaning the hot pot stands. I don't think those are ever cleaned..... yes it's not touching my food, yes it's got a lot of little crevices and it's hard to clean, but no it's still "serving" my food and for it to not be cleaned.... makes me wonder about their kitchen..... I looked at the hot pot stands at other people's tables and it's the same story. I'd be back if I really crave the food but it might make me take a second to debate if it's worth it. I hope they read this and give them a good deep cleaning..... read more

I've been waiting to try this place for a while now and overall think it's ok! To me, this was affordable but not traditional hot pot because you don't get to cook it yourself- but it's quick and easy, especially if you're a student or a working professional trying to get lunch with limited time, and still delicious. The menu was clear and easy to follow. We ordered the seafood fillet hot soup, thai (basically Tom Yum), medium spicy with vermicelli noodles and the Hokkaido Milk Tea with tapioca pearls. For the hotpot: I wish it was traditional hot pot style (or at least had the option to be) where the broth is already boiling hot and you get to cook the protein/veggies yourself because I love that part about hot pot and I felt like the cabbage and onions was overcooked for my liking. But the portion size of one hot pot was very generous and good enough for two, so it was pretty affordable (we just ordered a bowl of rice on the size too). The broth was spicy and sour like Tom Yum but I added more sauce to kick up the spiciness and savoriness. By the end I was so full, I decided to past of the delicious looking ice cream macaroons! For the bubble/boba tea: The bubble tea came in a really cute cup and I was super excited but looks could be deceiving. The bubble tea was watery and did not have as many tapioca pearls has I would have liked. The sweetest also tasted a bit off and there wasn't much tea flavor. As for the service it was okay. The server was a bit quiet and I had to ask her to repeat herself a few times but she was nice about it. They were a bit slow- but it also got a busy when we were waiting to pay. As for parking- only metered. Overall, I took away one star because of the watery bubble tea and another because the hot pot (delicious but not traditional and thai spicy was basically Tom Yum- weird because they had a Thai flavored hotpot). I will probably be back to try the famous ice cream macaroons though lol! read more

I'm still thinking about my stinky tofu bowl. It was so stinky, pungent, and funky. I want to rub it all over my face. I loved it so much. I may not even try any other bowl, that's how addicted I might be. This is a perfect meal for a cold MN day. The little pots your soup come in keep your broth scalding hot, and the best part is you can ask them to fill up your broth once you slurp it all up and have a ton of goodies left. I'm also addicted to the fermented soybean sauce on the table. I need to find out what else they add in with the soybean paste to make it the perfect salty, sweet, tangy, slightly spoiled sauce. I kept adding spoonfuls into my already stinky soup. Yes, I'm one of those Asians that suck on fish eyeballs and gargle balut. The more stinky and foul it is the better. I had one of the ice cream macarons. Sadly it was not impressive, and left me feeling guilty for the extra calories. Skip it. Service wasn't great, our gal was really slow and we had to ask for water a few times. She was nice, but this was annoying. Even so, mediocre service and dessert won't stop me from returning. read more
