    I tried Tasty Pot in San Diego, not sure if this is the same owner. Big & clean space, not too long of wait. This place is comparable to Boiling Point hotpot, but they lack of dipping sauces. The soup is not very salty, which I like. The only downside is they use plastic soup spoon which isn’t very ideal for hotpot (in my opinion). The staffs are very friendly and attentive, always come to check if we need anything. I will come back to try the stinky tofu hotpot in the future.

    My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night around 8pm and the wait was like 5 minutes. We shared the beef hot soup (#1). The broth tasted like satay spices and it got a bit salty towards the end. Overall, it was pretty good. We got extra vermicelli & taro for toppings. With the protein and veggies the soup already came with, we were both pretty full and glad we just shared one. The bowl/pot wasn't deep enough so it didn't fit much broth. The staff came by and refilled the broth a few times so I appreciated that. I would like to come again and try their other broths. We also tried their popcorn chicken and it was pretty delicious. 😊😋

    Tasty pot is a relatively new Taiwanese hot pot (individual sized hot pot) restaurant in downtown Alhambra. We came on an early Sunday, and it was pretty empty around 5pm. But by the time we left, it was packed! There are 9 different soup bases for you to choose from. And we opted for Taiwanese supreme spicy hot soup and Thai flavor hot soup. What impressed me the most was their large intestine, it was not gamy at all but delicious! Pros: 1. New and clean. 2. The portions. Compared to other Taiwanese hot pot restaurants, they seem to offer more ingredients/food in the pot. And, the quality is slightly better. Cons: 1. On the pricier side. (A few bucks more than BP) 2. Taiwanese supreme spicy hot soup wasn't spicy at all. Most importantly, it was not very authentic. Some flavors were def missing in the soup. 3. I probably like the dipping sauces from BP better. It doesn't mean their sauces are bad, just they can be better. Service was good and bad. The female staff who had a pony tail was very friendly and attentive, but other staff were a bit absent-minded. Worth a try though!

    Came here for lunch, their portions size is huge. Not only that the food is delicious and there’s a flame under the pot that keeps your food hot while you eat.

    Tasty Pot in Alhambra tastes just like Tasty Pot in SF! It’s a safe bet if you want something you can rely on. The menu looks like the same as it is in northern or Southern California. I ordered the exact same thing and it tasted exactly as I expected! If you know Tasty Pot, you can guarantee it will taste the same. I couldn’t remember all the pots we ordered but I recall the Seafood pot, Kim chi dumpling, beef and miso. We also ordered an extra side of meat which is a nice deal! 👍😬

    We love this personal hot pot place! - In downtown Alhambra (easy parking in the back, plenty of shops nearby, near library) - No waiting (plenty of seating) - Clean and atmospheric (wall arranged tables, seats, and utensils, nice music, and cool air-con) - Good selections (several from regular to large with good flavors, served on stable hot pot stands) - Free drinks (nice cool teas to go with the hot pot) - Just about right amount (not over-stuffing and no waste) - Friendly staff (just about right courteousness, and helpful) - Frequent diner program (register right away, and easy to obtain rewards) - Good value (compared to other ridiculously long-waiting-line personal hot pot places) We shall come back a lot more!

    One of the better hotpot restaurants. Big and clean restaurant on Main Street in Alhambra. Scan the QR code and order via mobile phone. Meal can be customized using mobile phone. Meal comes with a drink and a cup of rice or noodles. Many flavors to choose from. I think the most expensive hotpot is the one with a lobster for approximately $25. I've tried both the lobster hotpot and the beef hotpot $16.99. I would take the beef hotpot and save the $8. Service is pleasant and food didnt take long to come out. Perfect meal for a cold or rainy day. Plenty of parking in parking structure in rear.

    I got it delivered from DoorDash, $26 with fees. It’s a good hot pot. I got the beef hotpot! It’s enough for two meals. Lots of Napa cabbage but good flavor. It comes with three dipping sauces that are good too.

    First time here and on a Friday around 7pm. Wasn't busy and we were seated right away. Got the beef hot pot, mild and with vermicelli noodles. The broth was flavorful, but a tad too spicy for mild. Still good overall. I've had other hot pot broth that were more appealing, BUT for the dinner price it seemed very reasonable and did give a good amount of meat and extras inside. I was pretty satisfied. Also, extra credit for having a very clean and fresh smelling bathroom. Servers did refill my drinks without me asking. I'd come back for sure.

    The soups didn’t quite hit the spot like they usually do when we used to frequent the San Jose location. I feel like they are going through some growing pains so I’ll have to come back to try it again. There were only 2 sauces on the table, a black bean sauce and I think I sweet soy one. I thought Tasty Pots had at least 1 more sauce, like a garlic one or something? Idk Service was okay and quick. Parking It’s on the busier side of Main Street next to Bay Cafe. Parking structure towards the back, but that def gets fills during peak times. But there’s several other free city parking structures nearby. Or free street parking.
