Tasty Pot — Restaurant in Daly City

*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...

I live in nearby Westlake and we go shopping here all the time. Around the corner from Walgreens and nearby Banana Island is a small chain restaurant called Tasty Pot. It was a cold day (polar vortex) and this place gets busy quick so we managed to get here a little earlier before the lines got long. They have a menu that you can choose from 12 bowls each varying in size. Sizes 1-7 offer the most bang for your buck at around 14.50 for dinner. After that you get a larger size but definitley pricier at options 8-10 17.50 and 11, 12 for $20 dollars. I think 1-7 is sufficient enough for me, although sometimes I do crave the Seafood Lobster Hot Soup but for that price I can get it better elsewhere. This time I chose the Beef Hot Soup. It comes with napa, beef slices, enoki mushroom, Taro, Corn, Meatball, Kamaboko (white fish cake), Crab meat, clam, and some extra garnish. I picked spice level Medium, and that felt appropriate rating for the spice level. After that you can choose rice or vermicelli in which I picked Rice and I also got there Achatea boba which is much better than the previous boba I had there. Tasty Pot isn't the highest quality (the soup is definitely too salty) and the ingredients are crazy fresh but it offers a really good meal for the price, and they serve it pretty quickly. I would give it a 3.5 stars but the staff is nice so I'll up this to 4 stars. My wife got the cheesy milk and I'll say it's interesting but she likes the flavor so that's all...

I've always been a fan of Tasty Pot, but I've only been to this Westlake location twice, while I've been to the Clement location in SF multiple times.

I am normally a fan of their beef or lamb hotpot, which I feel like you can never go wrong with! I have always eyed their curry hotpot, but was too afraid to order it since I feel like curry can be a hit or miss, but the curry one is now my new stable order! I always get the spiciest level and the complimentary vermicelli, which now comes in a paper cup. I felt like the curry was really faint and the spiciness overpowered it so next time I'll get a lower spice level. I use the paper cup the vermicelli comes in as a bowl to put my food in and eat from it instead of directly from the hotpot so it can cool down a little before eating.

If you come during lunch, your hotpot order comes with complimentary iced green or black tea. They also have boba and tea for purchase. I also saw that they now offer non-soup options with rice! Their menu is all online since COVID(QR code), so I didn't get a screenshot of it.

The waiters also came by twice to offer us more soup, which I always accept because I love soup!

You can order on your own phone, but the bill comes as a single bill. There is a parking structure attached to the restaurant, but you still need to go out to the restaurant to get to the...
