I got the beef pot with fried tofu, vermicelli, and a complimentary tea. The food was tasty, place was clean, and service was good.
Whatever spice level you choose, you can increase the heat with the delicious chili oil at the table. It’s super good quality. I would recommend this to friends, but these “single serve” meals are more fit for two. If you were to make one order, have two sides of rice or vermicelli, and maybe add a few other sides, the price is much more reasonable and it’s more than plenty for two. Having just paid for the soup and tofu side for myself, my order was about $26.
Another plus, the occluder for the flame is with the burner so you can put it out yourself, rather than waiting for a server to come around.
Those who eat a lot of hotpot will inevitably compare this place with Boiling Point. Here I will try to give an honest comparison between the two.
We ordered seafood lobster hotpot, and Taiwanese style stinky tofu hotpot. The flavors are good, but the portion of meat is rather small. When compared to Boiling Point, Tasty Pot give you less meat, despite being more expensive.
Both places offer a decent selection of flavors, which one you like more is only a matter of personal taste.
The hotpot stove at Tasty Pot has a built-in switch to turn off the fire. At Boiling Point, you have to ask a waiter to do that, which is less convenient.
The service at Tasty Pot left a lot to be desired. Whenever we need something, we have to walk to the front desk to ask for it. The waitress never come by to give you any personal attention.
The lobster hotpot is a unique flavor you can only get at Tasty Pot, not Boiling Point.
