Food is delicious! We ordered the classic beef hot pot soup (沙茶牛肉鍋）and 3 Cheesy Milk hot soup （三起司牛奶鍋） with the max spicy flavor. We have spice tolerance and the max spicy (極辣）was a comfortable spice level for us. The cheese hot pot was not spicy. Both soups were flavorful and we got it with the glass noodles! Large portions for a good price with a large degree of customization! Service was very quick and efficient. The shop plays great music - my favorite canto and mando pop hits!

I love tasty pot. They get really busy during lunch and dinner times so be prepared to stand in line and then have your bill come to your table even before you've finished your meal. They have free iced tea for lunch.

Went in for lunch on a cold day, was very satisfied with the hot and hearty meal! Got the lamb hot pot, spicy, with rice. There are a bunch of different ingredients added, and it's actually a surprisingly big portion. Spice was great, hot but also flavorful. Great meal for a chilly day!

The weather was cold and it's perfect for hotpot. Tasty Pot is one of those hotpot places that the pot is served individually. They have several selections and I always chose stinky tofu, even though I complained that they were stink at all. The portion of beef in the pot was adequate, but the the broth was little bit less than other places. The food was decent like mediocre. The services were slightly above average. Overall, the rating from me was average. The parking was kinda difficult during the day and night.

Tasty pot is goated, great deal especially if you share a larger pot with someone, love the spicy, great flavors. Taiwanese hot is my favorite.

I went there with my wife, and we both ordered the same dish—Beef Hot Soup with medium spice. Each dish comes with either rice or noodles, so I chose rice for myself and noodles for my wife (we shared). The medium spice level wasn’t spicy enough for me, so I added some extra heat using the sauce on the table. Overall, it was okay. However, it’s not something I’d crave for lunch or dinner regularly (I typically do that when I really enjoy a dish). On a cold day, this soup is great for warming up.

I've been coming to this restaurant for many years now. I highly recommend this place. Service is nice and quick, and all the staff members are friendly. I usually come here for dinner. During the summer, sometimes they serve tea but usuaally they serve cold water It is online ordering, where you scan a QR code and order. NOTICE: when ordering online, tap on the plus icon, NOT the image, because there's a small bug. Anyways, your meal will come in about 15 minutes. It's essentially a Taiwanese hotpot. I always order #2, the lamb one, because it's really good. It take about an hour to eat there. After maybe 20 minutes of eating, the server will come around and ask you if you would like more broth/water. I recommend getting the extra broth. Sometimes the soup may spill, and the hotpot might be slightly shaky, but that's ok. Once you get home, you may have a small case of stomach upset; i suspect it's from the meat being slightly uncooked. To avoid this, eat the meat last, but you might still have stomach upset. I recommend coming here in a group of less than 5 people, because this is a small restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice as well. Overall, I highly recommend coming to this place.

The food here falls in the middle—it's not the best, but it's not the worst either. The spicy pot brings some heat, and the portions are huge! The combinations they offer are a bit different from what I'm used to, but it's not bad, I would say.
