Tasty Pot — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We went for dinner, and it seemed like lots of people ordered for to-go or for some reasons they were not guiding guests to empty tables, so we actually waited for ~10min before we got to asked them for seats. They then brought the menu and gave us the QR code and told us to order using that... not sure if that's the only way you can place the order, but we were told to do so... We ordered the food, and they served the rice (which I thought would come with the hotpot, and the rice was cold, maybe was prepared beforehand and waited to be served for a while already) and water first, then the waitress brought us the utensils... and from there, we waited for 30mins before our hotpot was served. Tbh, I had really high expectations because it says to be Taiwanese hotpot... and found out only limited options available and the taste was not to my like at all... but I think as for the style of individual hotpot it's Taiwanese, as for the tastes and flavors, the ingredients and whatever got put into the hotpot... they've tried but it doesn't taste Taiwanese... The service was ok... as I'm aware that the staffs seemed to still be in training... Overall, if you're looking for the individual hotpot style you'll probably like this place, but if you're looking for local Taiwanese flavor and taste, you'll be...

Words cannot express how happy I am that they opened a Tasty Pot location in Northridge! As a Boiling Point fan, it's hard to find an equivalent in the valley and it has been years since I've lived in Irvine so I was definitely craving something similar.

I saw that this location was open until 10 PM and was pleasantly surprised that there was NO WAIT on a Thursday evening at 8 PM. BP could literally never.

The staff was sweet and I placed my order via QR code on the table. They have 4 different sauces/spices on the table and I always opt for soy garlic which was the right balance of sweetness.

The beef pot is my favorite and it also has pretty much the same ingredients in it. HOWEVER, Tasty Pot has a HEAPING serving of beef in comparison to Boiling Point which means you're getting more bang for your buck. The pot comes with its own sterno that you can turn off if it gets too hot and the server will come to your table from time to time to top you up with more broth if you would like. Your soup comes with a side of rice or vermicelli.

Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and look forward to...

Great individual hot pot place! Sad to see Szechuan Place close because they served great Szechuan food.

Tasty Spot kept most of the previous decor, so it felt familiar still.

You order through a scan code and they will bring the food you ordered to you.

Shout-out the Jann for being attentive and super knowledgeable about the food! Super friendly too.

Got myself a Cheese Milk broth on the app but I saw there was a tomato option, so I was curious to try. I thought it would be milk and tomato broth. All I tasted was the tomato broth. I asked the really kind server, Jann, and he told me they fully replace the broth to tomato should you choose the tomato option under cheese milk broth. Make sure you keep it at original if you want the cheesy broth.

Every topping there were great! Unlike boiling point, you can't choose to take out an ingredient. Here, you can even get rid of the cabbages!

I also got the Hokkaido milk tea which wasn't all that. Definitely not BP Hokkaido!

Overall, this is a great place if you...
