Pop Pot & Tea (Chandler, AZ)三媽嗅嗅鍋 — Restaurant in Chandler

I wish I could give it more stars, however, this was my one time experience at this restaurant and probably the last one. It was also my first time trying Taiwanese food. I wanted to try something new and I looked on the map and noticed this restaurant close by. I went inside and it was full, which is great for business, but there was no one there to guide patrons. I felt a little intimidated as I did not know what to do, so I decided to go to the register and grab a menu. No one said anything to me and at one point I felt a little lost, wondering if I was doing it right as the people working there were passing by me in a rush carrying food and I honestly felt like being in their way multiple times. At the register no one was saying anything to me either, they were all too busy and made no eye contact. So after I took a look at the menu, being a little confused of what to order, I decided on their House Special Pot. I had to wait till I saw the cashier have a second before I was telling about me wanting to order. I was told it would take 15-20 minutes. I came back after 30 minutes thinking I was late and my order was not ready. It literally took about 40 minutes in total to get my food. The bag was too small and the guy handing it to me was nice and put the rice and sauces in a second small bag and on top of that offered me a tea because I had to wait too long. That was the nicest thing happening at this restaurant. The food was ok, nothing to complain nor something I would crave. Some suggestions I could give to this new restaurant would be: have some signs for people that get inside about how to proceed ( wait to be seated or take a seat , or proceed to the register for to-go orders , even better - have a host by the entrance ). Second - have the employees at least acknowledge the people especially when they are waiting. A little more organization is definitely needed. I hope my review helped a little, if you are in a rush then consider another place. Also, I think the prices are a little too high for...

Today, I had the delightful opportunity to visit Pop Pot & Tea in Chandler, AZ, thanks to the lovely invitation from Miss Taiwan. This was my first experience at this charming restaurant, and I was genuinely excited to dive into their hot pot offerings.

I decided to try the clam hot pot, and I was thoroughly impressed. The pot was brimming with fresh clams and a variety of delicious ingredients that made each bite a joy. The broth was exceptionally refreshing and flavorful, providing a perfect balance that enhanced the overall experience. The clam soup, in particular, was a highlight, leaving me feeling revitalized and satisfied.

What made this day even more special was sharing this wonderful meal with a beautiful companion who graciously treated me to lunch. The atmosphere at Pop Pot & Tea was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for enjoying good food and great company.

I am truly grateful for this experience and look forward to returning to explore more of their menu. The combination of authentic Taiwanese flavors, friendly service, and a cozy environment makes Pop Pot & Tea a standout choice for anyone craving hot pot. I highly recommend visiting this gem for a delightful...

Tasty place but they seem to be struggling. 7pm on a Friday night it was less than half full. Service started well but quickly dwindled. We ordered food and asked for another minute for the drink order but she never came back. I had to approach other servers to get forks for the kids.

Eventually when I couldn't get the girl to come back to our table (I kept shooting her pleading glances while holding the menu), I went to the register and stood for a while. People at other tables were sometimes standing to get server attention also. At the register I was able to order the drinks, but they were out of many things. No boba. No desserts. The food was very enjoyable, but overpriced for the portions. I had eggshell in my soup. 😖 2 pots, 2 sides & 2 drinks cost $80+

The other reviewer was right about violent movies and shows on TV. Not a place for the family, and no kid's options at all. We will try it again sometime but it will have to be one of the rare nights I get...
