Frequently asked questions about Tasty Pot
Tasty Pot Berkeley Reviews
we walked into tasty pot thinking it would just be lunch. we walked out feeling like we had stumbled into another universe of flavor. the moment i sat down, the server brought over a bubbling pot that looked alive, steam curling up like it had secrets to tell. the broth smelled so rich it could have been blessed by the gods of umami themselves. thin slices of beef melted into it, mushrooms soaked up the magic, and noodles danced through the heat like they owned the place. by the time i tried my quail eggs, i wasn’t just eating anymore. i was running an experiment in joy and chili oil. the real beauty of it all is how personal it feels. no sharing ladles, no compromise, just you and your broth, figuring each other out. every bite surprised me. i left feeling like my taste buds had just evolved. 10 out of 10 would come back to face my bubbling destiny again. tasty pot, you might actually be the hogwarts of hotpot.
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!
What I like about Tasty Pot is the personal hot pot servings. This is a very busy restaurant.
Gooooood foood, love the way they served to customers. Always get more soup if you need
Nice small place service is fast you order on the phone and prices a reasonable, only street parking food is very good I will be coming back
Dined here 10/3/2024 and saw they adjusted their prices, it's now cheaper!! At first we thought they had a promo going on and asked about it. They said they just adjusted the prices as food cost had gone down and easier to hire people now. Also more competition too. Anyways we're happy!! It's so cheap now, lamb pot that I always get is only 14.99 and Sichuan pot when I want spicy is 17.99. Quality remained the same. We will probably visit more frequently now!!

The hot pot is to die for! Especially if you add the chilies sauce, you will be left speechless. The chilies sauce is mild compared to other Asian cuisine. They give you large portions, I had a hard time finishing. Highly recommend Taiwanese supreme spicy hot soup!
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.

Solid hotpot spot. Seems to be popular with students in the area since it’s on the cheaper side and gives you a good amount of food. Doesn’t seem to be the cleanest though (table was very sticky along with the condiment holder) so just a heads up on that
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 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.
Soo busy here, but the service is fast and great! The food is quite good for its price. The pot has different flavors, I’ll come back to try other flavors!
The food here is great. Very fast service and no waiting time at all (as for me). The price is little bit high, but acceptable for a hotpot.
Tasted good but the second spiciest option was way too spicy even though I am really good at eating spicy foods. I go with mild or whatever that option is called from then. Otherwise, a pretty nice place.

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 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.
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.
It wasn't the best hot pot I've had. While the portion/price and service was good, the flavor of the broth wasn't there. I had the lamb hotpot and the broth was very bland. I was looking for some kick in it, but I was rather disappointed. The broth was also not boiling, so it made me feel a little uncomfortable because I was conscious if my food was throughly cooked through or not. The sauces available were also lacking in flavors and didn't feel as fresh. I wished they'd have fresh minced garlic/chilli to pair with the hotpot.
The food is served hot! Felt it's over priced and not worth the hype. Not many options for vegetarians!
