    Cheesey Milk Hot Soup in mild spicy
    Donna Mae T.

    Not bad and also not great. Ordered their Cheesey soup in a mild spicy level, comes with a iced green tea and it was all just ok. You order from the qr code so not much interaction with their staff, which is fine. One of the things I really liked about this location is that its a good amount of space with lots of tables and it was busy as it was lunch time however it wasnt to ok loud inside.

    Stinky Tofu
    Jennifer T.

    Overall: 4.8/5 This place is our go-to when we want something quick, warm, and seriously satisfying. It hits the spot every single time. Our favorites are the stinky tofu and the 9 Taiwanese Supreme. The bowls are always filled to the brim- no skimping here. If we're not starving and just want a quick fix, we can even share an order. I also love that you can customize the spice level of the soup to your liking. Service is consistently great: fast, attentive, and friendly. They also have a solid selection of boba or fruit slushies that pair perfectly with the food. Comfort food done right. :p

    Fish cake & side of ramen
    Marilyn G.

    This is one of my favorite soup spots in the east Bay Area. We get seated right away every visit and order off the QR code located at the tables. We usually come during lunch hours but also came during dinner a few times too. I ordered the veggie soup & add a side of ramen and side of fish cake. I feel so good after eating here, the food is delicious and nutritious. During lunch they serve green tea which is a nice sweet contrast to the savory soups. the soups come out super hot so eat with caution. We love coming here a few times a year, definitely a fave of ours. all the customers seems to enjoy their meals and everyone is eating + having good conversations with family & friends. Overall, very chill vibe with hearty soup options! our tab price is roughly about $45-$50 for 2 people. looking forward to our next visit here, yummm.

    7. Kimchi Dumpling Hot Soup (mild)
    Grace H.

    Love Tasty Pot! This location is convenient and pretty consistent throughout the years. I recently revisited on a Saturday around 1:00pm and it was packed with a short wait. You order via your phone which is nice and convenient, although I wish they were a bit more thorough on what's included in each pot. Although I know my order, my husband isn't a huge fan of fish ball, fish cake, tofu, etc, so it'd be easier to pick if the info was listed. Our order came out fairly quickly, maybe about 10-15 minutes. Food was good portion per usual and soup was delicious. It was hard to get service though and flag down employees for more soup so we ended up not getting more. Overall, will be back. I enjoy their food and consistency. Service is alright but fast.

    點了一個日式鍋,晚一點補上點評。

    I've been eating at this restaurant for almost ten years. In the beginning, the cabbage used to be cooked very soft, and they even served fresh raw seafood. But now, most of the dishes are undercooked and too tough, and the seafood isn't as good as before. Because some customers complained that the seafood was too raw, others who don't know how to cook it properly often end up with stomach issues after eating. Overall, I always order the Japanese seafood hot pot with rice, and the soup base is still excellent, with generous and good-quality ingredients. The only real problem is that the cabbage is just way too hard! On the bright side, the sauce is great, and they even serve complimentary green tea during lunch. The service is good, the environment is clean, and the prices are reasonable. All in all, I still recommend this restaurant! 我已經吃了這家店將近十多年了,從一開始高麗菜都會煮的很爛,還會提供生鮮的海鮮;直到現在基本上菜品都超級硬的,海鮮也因為被客人舉報太生,導致有些客人不知道怎麼確實煮好,一吃就拉肚子了。總體來講,我每次來都點日式海鮮鍋配米飯,湯頭還是非常好的,料也不錯實在,唯一問題就是高麗菜真的太硬了!另外醬料是真的不錯,午餐還會提供免費的綠茶。服務也不錯,環境也乾淨,價格中規中矩,基本我依舊推薦這家店!

    1. Beef Hot Soup
    Carolyn N.

    My favorite place for individual hot pot hands down. Other individual pot places simply don't compare because the broth and seasonings at Tasty Pot are the most flavorful of them all. They definitely have the best beef pot. The availability and variety of toppings is abundant, anything you can think of they likely offer. There's also a decent drink menu so you can order boba to enjoy with your meal. I believe they offer free iced tea with lunch but I usually come during dinner so I've only gotten it a few times. However, I remember the complimentary tea being good! The drinks you can order off the menu are yummy too. Service is always attentive and quick, and most importantly consistent. I know I can expect my order to come out exactly how I like it every time. Also Tasty Pot offers a rewards system if you put down your phone number. I'm a regular but I find even when I don't dine here as much I still accumulate enough points for a free pot fairly often. This is my reliable go to restaurant when I want to have a satisfying, comforting hot meal. The best!!

    Beef hot pot with extra lamb slices and vermicelli noodles

    Love the food here. Service is quick. Ambiance is friendly with music and sports on tv.

    Dumplings
    Derell A.

    Came here on a Sunday around 12:30 with a party of 7. They were busy which is good thing and had to wait about 30 minutes. Although the wait was longer than we all liked it was worth it. The food came out fairly quickly and we were eating in no time. Very well priced for the quality and my whole group enjoyed it. I personally got the beef hot soup and ordered it mild. Although it was mild it had a decent kick and more than I would like. Next time I would order it no spice as that's my preference. Highly recommend this place and looking forward to my next visit!

    Had lunch at Tasty Pot with my family. There were a couple of unexpected things. The tea was sweet, which wasn't what I was expecting. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's something to be aware of if you prefer unsweetened tea. We also ordered the stinky tofu, but the waitress told us it wasn't fried. We decided to cancel that order, which was a bit disappointing. I appreciated the waitress letting us know, though. The hot pot itself was fine, and the service was decent. It was an okay meal, but the tea and the tofu were a bit unusual.

    1. Beef Hot Soup
    Anthony N.

    This hotpot was pretty good similar to the one in milpitas. The flavors are really similar but the service here was more attentive.

    Vegetable Thai soup pot
    Kimm N.

    Food - 4/5 we used to frequent tasty pot chains a lot in the old days but haven't been to one much in the past 1-2years. Went with my usual order of Thai soup pot but found the soup to be a little less rich in flavors this time. Service - 3/5 I have never been to a place where they out of the blue, turned up volume of music and blast loud in middle of our eating and chatting. I wonder if it's because the store closes in 20mins time and they just wanted to get patrons to finish up and leave but I can tell you for sure it was really uncomfortable eating in that condition. I was so tempted to ask them to lower the volume but refrained from doing so. Ambience 3/5 parts of the floor was slippery and greasy. Had to walk super slow to avoid slip.

    Miso hot pot
    Phil L.

    This is a classic if you want to eat something tasty and warm while in this cold weather. I simply cannot resist the taste of a nice boiling hot pot in rainy weather. The miso hot pot (medium) has a nice kick, which is spicy and savory. Lots of goodies in there. Service was prompt and ambiance is casual.

    Kimchi Dumpling Hot Soup
    Greg M.

    Finally decided to try this place after years of driving by, usually there's lines out the door for dinner. Me and a buddy went for a late lunch in the afternoon. No crowds and the dishes came out pretty quick. I loved the hot pot heater apparatus, gonna try to find out how I can get some of those for the home. There are plenty of options for meat lovers and vegetarians, they do have a veggie broth. My friend enjoyed his vegetarian. I was happy with the kimchi dumpling dish. For under $20 (pre-tax) I was pleasantly surprised to find such a cornucopia of proteins...clams, shrimp, fish cake, Chinese, sausage, meatball, imitation, crab, pork, and I added extra beef. It was a pretty good side portion for $5.95. I was going for keto, so I asked to replace the noodles with veggies which they agreed to do for no charge,. I was a bit disappointed that it was just a cup of cabbage, but they did me a favor and didn't charge me so I didn't complain and it's not enough to Knock any stars off. It gave me a healthier low-carb soup that I was looking for. Next time I might see if I can pay a couple $$ for real veggies like zucchini, broccoli etc. The complementary glass of sweet iced green tea was a nice touch, but you don't get refills. The service was a touch slow but accommodating and friendly. The music and vibe made for a nice atmosphere. A pleasant surprise was the soybean chili paste that comes complementary in the sauce tray at the table. There are others, but the soybean one was outstanding IMO. It added just the right amount of spice and a great umami flavoring for dipping dumplings, proteins and cabbage from the soup. There were some good looking appetizers and Boba options , but we didn't try them, maybe next time. Adding on anything though will mean taking home leftovers. If you can finish the whole bowl, you'll probably be pretty full. I did, I was. A great little spot overall, I'm already looking forward to going back!

    Ask the Community - Tasty Pot

    Do they still have outdoor seating?

    No they do not.

    Outdoor seating back again with the uplift of restrictions?

    Yep! Just went last week.

    Does anyone know how the food is packaged for takeout? Is the soup separate from the meat, veggies, etc?

    All together!

    Are they currently offering take out during COVID-19?

    Yes, take out or delivery through doordash and ubereats

    Is there any veggie type?

    Yes, there's a vegetarian pot option.

    Can I order veggie pot in a soup base other than thai or mild? I prefer the other soup bases, but prefer veggie pot (it is ok if soup base is meat based)

    Their broths are either meat of veggie based. Just let the server knows what kind of broth you'd like. Same when replenishing your pot. Let them know that you want veggie. Otherwise, the servers will serve you meat-based broth.

    I know when it comes to the sauces there is a garlic soy sauce, sha cha sauce, chili oil. Does anyone know what the other sauce is? I've asked my waiter and he told me it was soybean chili sauce, but i still cant fond it in stores

    You should be able to find soybean chili sauces in any Asian market like Ranch99 or H-Mart. Hope that answers your question!

    Is there a veggie broth? I see the veggie pot but is the broth used also vegetarian based?

    Yes, spoke to the Newark CA Tasty Pot, they answer: " it is vegetarian based soup ".

    Does the lamb pot taste similar to Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot? Is it good and worth getting?

    Not the same. But it's super tasty! Totally worth get it. A small tip: their spicy is super spicy. Medium is already too much for most people

    What kind of sauces do they have? When I asked them, they were kinda clueless on telling me what it was. They said it was just "sauce" -_-"

    The sauces on the table are soybean paste, chili oil, garlic soy sauce, and satay sauce.

    Coming in and surprised I forgot to grab some photos while I was there! This is the hidden gem…read morehotpot place of Newark and i'm glad I had the chance to try it. It's in a small plaza with two other buildings but there is plenty of space for parking. It wasn't too busy there when I went so parking and seating were very easygoing. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty attentive when it comes to meat refills and checking in. The meat selections are limited to beef, chicken, and lamb. They do offer other meats such as some seafood and meatballs at the toppings bar though. I really liked the ingredient variety, some things I don't think you'd find at most hotpot places. Personally the thick cut potato noodles are a favorite for me!! They also have churned ice cream and refillable pineapple & peach juice. I believe they usually have milk tea as well, but it was Out of Order when I came in. Would love to try it out next time though hopefully! I think there were a few minor fixes for maintenance but overall pretty satisfied from the experience! I would love to revisit again in the future, very budget friendly AYCE hotpot in the bay area. You really can't find weekend lunch prices anywhere these days, most places charge dinner pricing all weekend. The pricing is very generous, the food variety is great, and the staff are all so friendly and inviting. Also LOVE having individual hot pots, makes your hotpot feel more personal and you don't have to worry about sharing :) Great place to come by with loved ones especially if you want to skip the wait most hotpot places come with and have a quick and easy meal.

    This is without a doubt one of my top 2 hotspot locations in the bay and I've gone to at least 10…read morein this area. For all you can eat it is honestly the best of all the options in my opinion. Cleanliness 11/10: The cleanliness of this place is unmatched by any AYCE restaurant I've eaten at. I had to include a picture of the sauce bar because it is really surprising how there is no splattering around the table. Every surface including the sauce bar and other bars were pristine. AYCE options 10/10: The meat choices are beef, lamb, and chicken. The cuts are a bit lean, but honestly I like that better for ayce since it is a bit cleaner tasting and leaves less oil in the broth. They serve the meats in neat labeled trays which I really like. Wide range of vegetable and other hotpot options that are all ayce, notably king oyster mushroom slices, wood ear mushroom, white fish, beancurd skins, large leaf spinach, bomchoy, a variety of noodles. They also have soft serve ice cream and other deserts and fruit. Sauce bar has a good variety. It has all the options you might find at a place like haidilao. The soy and vinegar are on a separate table in drink dispensers, you might miss it. I recommend for people who are not experienced with hot pot to do a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce and vinegar with a squeeze of lemon as well as some chili, cilantro, green onion, and garlic. The sesame dressing is great on its own with vegetables. Broth 9/10: I recommend spicy or mushroom broth. It is similar to what you would get at a place like haidilao but much less oily, it is still quite spicy and a good amount of oil.

    They just kept feeding us!!!!…read more Lovely AYCE, the meat was fresh and delicious and the hot bar was never ending with goodies. The fish from the bar was also incredibly delicious. Afterwards me and my friends were genuinely slumped we had to take a nap in the car from all the delicious meat we tried to stuff ourselves with.

    Last week my son wanted to try some new hot pot and we decided to go here for dinner…read more This place is in a big shopping center, there are quite a few spot to park. This is the most disappointing hot pot I've been to, we're going to leave after looking at the menu, again 2 prices, $34 & $42. The broth comes with only 2 flavors just like Haidilao in Fremont which if you chose the wrong ones, then your meal is over, this is exactly what happened to us. The spicy broth is just garlic, star anis, salt water and lots of red pepper that burns your tongue so you can't taste anything. The original broth is also just tons of garlic cloves and tasteless. For $34 you get the least expensive beef there are, my son likes pot belly like Shabuya but only get pork slices, there is pot belly in the cold meat section and doesn't look very fresh. For $42 you get a plate of Wagyu beef each and a few more choices of meats like briskets. So we decided to go with the cheaper $34 menu. Hot pot is simple, good hot broth and "tender" meats to dip in to eat. If the broth is tasteless then the hot pot is bad. The sauce bar is small and people have to get in line to get the sauce, the ponzu is salty not as tasty and light as other places and it's in a bottle. The veggies bar I like, it had Tong Ho and lettuce wraps, but the Tong Ho was gone after the fist round and replaced with something else. The hot foods are actually good, the fried chicken was tasty and crispy, the braised pork feet was delicious. The seafood bar is ok. I think it's depend on everyone's taste, I definitely don't like the tier menus, I prefer individual broth instead of everyone is using the same 2 flavor broths, that's why we don't go to Haidilao any more although their broths are tasty. Until we tried all the hot pots places, we wouldn't know which types fit our tastes and look at the patrons, Chinese main land may have different tastes than Chinese Hong Kong or Taiwan. There are definitely not many Japanese in these places although it's shabu style. Shabuya is still our favorite.
