Tasty Restaurant

I've dined in 3 times so far and this recent time I came with a group of 7! Super friendly and the food came out quickly. If you love stinky tofu, get this hotpot and the fried stinky tofu. At the end of the meal, they give you a scratch card for some goodies! Huge menu of hotpot, dessert, and boba. Clean interior and the perfect spot to catch up with friends and family Edit: Way better than Tasty Pot

Not many Taiwanese restaurants nearby. Good addition to the Alameda noodle selection that isn't a one-stop-shop of all ethnic asian cuisines (although they do have Korean and Japanese things on the menu, but maybe avoid these?). I can see how they would dial down the tofu stankiness to cater to the American taste buds, but I still enjoyed mine. Lamb skewers and rice dish were great. Taiwanese desserts in general are delicious bc they aren't the sugary diabetes-inducing level at most places. Will be back next time I need a quick fix at the last minute with family.

I've been here more than 3x. I love their spicy beef hot pot and my wife likes the porcini kind. Their lamb skewers are bomb!! So good that you'd want more. Very clean and has a clean resttoom too. Please be aware that there is a 15% service charge. But all in all, 5 stars for the food. I just mostly go here for hotpots since the one in San Leandro closed and didn't want to drive to Fremont or Union City.

I ordered a To-Go a golden spicy beef and it was absolutely one of the most delicious ramen soup I've ever tried. Very tasty, spice level was perfect, a lot of flavors, just mind blowing! I'm hooked!

Tasty point is tasty! The hot pots, appetizers and noodles were all delicious. A big hit with adults and kids alike.

a favorite hot pot spot in the area - i come weekly for the beef or porcini hot pot! this definitely satisfies my Tasty Pot/Boiling Point cravings.

First time trying this place, I love all the food I ordered. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. Customer service was very attentive and fast.

Tasty Point is a really delicious Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant on Santa Clara. They have many hot pot options, but their other dishes are stand-outs too! Nearly everything we've tried has been super tasty. And their boba and other drinks are great.

Went there for the first time with kids. The service was great to the point that my kids told me: you can ask questions about the menu, he’s very nice and happy to help. Way to go tasty point. We will definitely be back.

Came here for dinner and the food was great! The menu is so big it was hard to decide. We tried the fried dumplings, edamame, spicy ramen, and a Thai tea and it was all so delicious! The staff was so nice, probably the best customer service I’ve ever had. They give you so much food and it comes out so fast. The atmosphere was great, it’s so cute inside and the music was great as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Came here tonight for hot pot with the family for the first time. Everything was great and the service was very friendly. Loved it.

It’s a pretty good weeknight comfort food option. I got the black garlic oil ramen. It is a reasonable portion with plenty of ingredients. The pork is well cooked and sliced thin. Next time, I will try the hot pot.

Newer restaurant to me, Taiwanese hotpot and Boba drinks. Nice modern looking restaurant with pictures of menu items on the wall, Different types of hotpot sets, Each seem to be unique. Spicy, sour, Meat and vegetables. I ordered the Porchini pot which was very tasty and deep fried King Oyster mushroom. my companion ordered the Black Garlic ramen. All were good. The service was lacking, because the servers lack of knowledge of menu items and not knowing how to explain. Food or service. They are young and will grow with experience. Give them a try

✨ Beautifully decorated, nicely lit, and very clean! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with soft background music. 🎶 I also liked the TV screens displaying menu items—very intriguing! 📺 I ordered one of the soups, and while it was nicely presented, I found the broth lacking in flavor—I was hoping for a bit more depth. 🍜 The highlight of the visit was the fun scratcher they gave us at checkout—I won a complimentary drink! 🎉 I chose a lychee-flavored one, which looked great but didn’t quite excite my taste buds. 🥤 That being said, the menu has plenty of other dishes I haven’t tried yet, so there’s still lots to explore! 🍽️ I’d love to see a bit more richness in flavors, but overall, it’s a lovely spot. 😊

Came here for dinner on a recent Friday evening. Our party of three ordered a stinky tofu hot pot, an herbal soup hot pot, and a fried pork chop rice plate. The portion size for each order was very good and service was fast and efficient. The two hot pots were okay, nothing spectacular. Their blood cake was very mushy, the pickled veggies very bland, and there were very few intestines. Also, my stinky tofu was not good at all. It wasn't much different than regular tofu. Their dipping sauces were not very tasty either. The three sauces, Chinese BBQ, garlic soy sauce, and hot chili oil were all very disappointing. The sauces were very sour and lacked flavor and had a very watery consistency. Thankfully the pork chop was delicious. Having lived in Southern California, I've been spoiled by Boiling Point and other local independent spots. I guess this is decent for the area, but I won't be going back.

Don’t come here expecting authentic Taiwanese flavors. Nothing we ordered came close. The hot pot tasted artificial, almost chemical, and the ingredients didn’t match the price point. The deep fried stinky tofu was disappointing, and all the fried appetizers were plain, underwhelming, greasy, and served in small portions. The only decent dish was the deep fried pork chop with braised pork rice, which was just okay. We left almost angry, given the quality of food we received compared to the amount of cash we paid. Their dessert was fine.

I didn't realize that they used Sichuan peppercorns instead of a spicy oil to make the hotpot spicy so when I ordered the lamb hotpot I was really disappointed. They did have some chilli sauce on the table, but it just didn't taste the same. The broth tasted pretty bland to me and it didn't really hit the hotpot craving for me. They also don't offer additional soup or at least our server didn't come around to offer us more. They mostly have "large" sizes for their hotpot, so if you plan on coming here, be sure to be hungry otherwise you probably won't be able to finish. I came super hungry, but ended up not even finishing my food. The large hotpot costs about $20-$21. The waitress also never came around to collect our bill, so I just walked up to the front to pay. She was apologetic, but I don't think I'll be back due to the food.

If you’re coming here for the hot pot, beware it’s not authentic hot pot. The atmosphere felt more like a boba shop than a restaurant. The appetizers were the best part of the meal. The staff were kind but unfortunately the food was just not it.

As a Taiwanese I was a bit disappointed. The “Taiwanese” cuisine (stinky tofu, hotpot etc) were nothing like what I had in Taiwan. The space is clean.
