Tasty Pot

"*11/8/2023 On a chilly day, my craving for something spicy led me to Tasty Pot, where I ordered the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup. It comes with napa, beef slices, fish fillet, clam, aorta, imitation crabmeat, tempura, fishball, beef ball, zucchini, enoki mushroom, black mushroom, potato slices, frozen tofu, fried tofu puff, fried tofu skin, potato, noodle, and scallion. The soup itself tasted pretty decent and did an excellent job of warming up my body in the cold weather. What made the experience even better was that I had enough soup left to take home and turn into my own noodle soup for another meal. The flavors held up beautifully, and it felt like getting two delicious meals for the price of one. A pro tip for those planning to visit Tasty Pot: There's a convenient parking garage right next to the restaurant, making your dining experience even more hassle-free. 7/7/2023 I recently tried the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup at Tasty Pot in Daly City, and overall, the experience was decent. The soup contained a variety of ingredients, including napa, beef slices, fish fillet, clam, aorta, imitation crabmeat, tempura, fishball, beef ball, zucchini, enoki mushroom, black mushroom, potato slices, frozen tofu, fried tofu puff, fried tofu skin, potato, noodle, and scallion. While everything tasted okay, I was disappointed with the Sichuan flavor. As someone who enjoys spicy food, I specifically requested the extreme spicy option. However, the broth failed to deliver the desired level of spiciness and the characteristic numbing sensation that is expected from Sichuan cuisine. It would have been more enjoyable if the broth had packed a stronger punch in terms of spice. Despite this drawback, the overall taste of the ingredients was satisfactory. The variety of items included in the soup created a diverse and enjoyable combination of flavors. However, I believe that focusing on improving the authenticity and intensity of the Sichuan flavor would greatly enhance the dining experience."

"Good bowl of hot soup with noodles. Order from phone after scanning QR code. Service is average, since they don't take your order. Just bring your food when ready, no beverage refill, and bring your bill at the end. Make sure you submit your order at the end."

"Their little pre-assembled hot pots are OK. It looks nothing like their marketing photos though. I had the #12, seafood hot pot $22 and added meatballs $4. I kept the default setting when ordering on the QR coded website, which was no spicy and pork soup. The food tasted fine. The side of meatballs were still frozen inside and I had to leave it in the hot soup for a while. After a few bites, I should have ordered it with some spice. They only have hot sauce and soy sauce as condiments at the table. I asked the waiter for some hoisin sauce for the seafood but they don't have it. I also asked for maybe some peanut sauce or sesame oil or ginger but they also don't have that either. What?! A hot pot restaurant without sauces. It is kind of ridiculous. Service was fine."

"The biggest thing that surprised me how FAST they got out our orders. They have a system that you scan the QR code on thr table and order your food from there. The hotpot itself was really tasty, but they didn't really give much meat or veggies even if you ordered extra. But if this is your first hotpot experience, it's not that big of a deal. If you're used to hot pot you may be a bit disappointed with portion size. I got the lamb pot and it was really good!"
