Tasty Pot - Newark

The ambience, service and selection of food was great. Definitely worth dropping by at this place.

I split the Sichuan flavor hot soup with one friend. The broth was delicious (we chose medium spicy) and flavorful without feeling MSG or salt-loaded. It was so loaded with toppings that we had to refill broth once (free) to have enough for the items.

From the website, Sichuan description:
"*Medium to Flaming Spicy. * Napa, beef slices, fish filet, flam, aorta, imitation crabmeat, tempura, fish ball, beef ball, zucchini, enoki mushroom, black mushroom, potato slices, frozen tofu, fried tofu puff, fried tofu skin, potato noodle, & scallions. "

You get a huge variety of toppings that add up to a lot of food even for just the standard order. I don't see how a single person can finish one hot pot unless they take food home. When they refilled our broth, I could see that the broth had cloudy, milky color from cooking for a long time. It was so delicious!

The Napa cabbage was the perfect level of tender crisp, we didn't get any "cold" items in our soup. All items were the right temperature and cooked evenly, so we didn't feel rushed to eat quickly (which I've had to do at Boiling Point). I'm a fish ball fiend and ordered extra fish balls, but it ended up being too much food for the both of us. The house satay sauce is amazing, the fermented soybean sauce is on the sweet side which I'm not used to.

The servers were super nice and attentive. If there was anything we needed, they helped us right away, and then made sure to top off broth or drinks for all the other tables while they were on the floor. I was able to enjoy dinner with a friend and chat leisurely without feeling rushed by the staff.

I enjoyed the food and service here so much, I'll be coming back with my husband. Highly recommend for people new to hot pot that don't want to feel overwhelmed with choosing toppings. I think it's a way better value eating here than at all-you-can-eat places that are restrictive on the "expensive" toppings or that you would have to eat excessively to get your "money's worth. "

The only drawbacks were that the side vermicelli order was tiny, and fish ball side order was about $5 and came with like 5 or 6 pieces. The standard order is huge already so I won't order extras next time.

Wow. What a gem. I came here for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised about the portions and the items (rice and tea) that came with the lunch menu.

You order your food via QR code, and I choose the beef soup, mild spice, with rice and black tea. The black tea is sweet and chilled. That was a nice contrast with the hot soup. Now for the soup, they have a soup bowl on top of a box that has a heating element. As you eat your soup gets hotter and hotter and the ingredients start taking on the flavors of the both. Let me tell you, they pack the bowl with lots of meat and veggies! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the price. I highly recommend you give this place a try.

I've been here so many times now, and although the pots are filled to the brim with fixings, the flavor of the broth continues to diminish. Taiwanese hot pot is my favorite and I love the spicy levels. But as the spice goes up, the flavor also goes down. So I tried no spice, and still, very little flavor. The curry is probably the most underwhelming dish, but the miso is far better and probably my go-to here. It's all good, but in my opinion, not great. There are so many great hot pot places in the Bay Area. Add to this the inflated prices and the only saving grace is the pot overflowing with veggies and seafood, and the convenience of location.

New experience for sure. Good places are always crowded. Service was subtle but attentive.

For those of you that might think this is the next level of stovetop ramen you grew up with, proceed with caution. Think of the little veggie packet in cup of noodles but all hulked up, in every way - full bite sized pieces of exotic veggie, boiled meats and seafood as well as a variety of broths with a spectrum of spice levels. If you prefer ramen (versus vermicelli) noodles, be sure to choose accordingly and scale back on any number of standard add-ins to suit your personal palette. Next time, I will target the less is more approach. Chopped/diced veggies would enhance the experience.

It’s perfect for the rainy day. We been here many times since opening. Taste still good and yummy. Most of the time we order Lamb hot soup and Beef hot soup with Taiwanese supreme spicy hot soup base. Service is quick and friendly.

I think one time is enough. I'd rather have traditional hot pot style. Mostly vegetables, fish cake, and noodles/rice. Beef/crab is meh quality.

Looks amazing though.

Came on a Friday at 5pm just as they opened knowing it would get busy. You have to order using a QR code through your phone. Once that's done meal came out quick and hot. Perfect for a cold November evening. Finding a parking spot might be tricky with so many other establishment in the same mall.

Good lamb hotpot, mild was perfect for my spice level and ingredients tasted fresh and delicious. Highly recommend their sauces as well

Hot and fresh out the kitchennnn. My hot pot came hella loaded and barely had any space to work with but tbh I'm not complaining LOL. I think it was just my hot pot but my burner was blazing for the entire duration of my dinner so I definitely burned all my taste buds.worth though!
