Tasty Pot - Story Road

First of all parking is horrible. It's best to park on the side where the other main parking lot is. There is more space and is right next door. We came in got a seat right away. Haven't been there for a few years but heard of the new menu items. We got the fried calamari, and the new sizzling plate with some hot pots. I would skip the calamari as it tasted a bit bland. The sizzling plate on the other hand was amazing! The hot pots were also good but honestly was a lot of food for us lol. Hot pot came before the calamari appetizer which was weird to me. But all in all it was some good food

This was our first time eating at Tasty Pot and had a great experience. Will definitely come back! When we got there (~5:45 PM on Tuesday), there was a decent amount of parking spots and a lot of seatings in the restaurant. Service was excellent. They were very nice, friendly, attentive and quick :) Once being seated, we scanned the QR code on the table to place an order online. We ordered: - Fried calamari: crispy, good flavor, and perfectly done, not chewy at all. - Thai flavor hot pot with an extra side of noodles: the hot pot itself already has thick noodles with it. Good flavor. A lot of seafood. - Sweet garlic soy beef sizzling plate with extra beef, egg and cheese: pretty delicious. Make sure to mix it well so the flavor is evenly distributed. I thought the rice would be a bit crunchy like hot stone bimbimbap but I guess the plate is used to mainly keep it warm. - Milk cream green tea: the boba and lychee toppings are good but the tea part is just okay. 1/2 sugar is not too sweet so that part is great. - Tiger pearl milk: it's also just okay. I ordered 1/2 sugar but it was really sweet (sweeter than the 1/2 sugar in the other milk tea)

Top notch experience at Tasty Pot! The sizzling beef rice plate is a tad on the sweet size but the butter mix is incredible. Love the corn too for that little extra crunchy sweetness. Deep fried calamari had a good amount of batter (meaning not too much) but could use some side cocktail sauce. The seafood boiling pot was excellent. Fish, clams, mussels, mushrooms, vermicelli, cabbage, and even a small lobster tail sliced in two evenly sized pieces to share. Milk tea with very nice soft boba. I think if anything, they could increase their dish options. They had only two choices for appetizer and sizzling plates. but what they have is certainly good!

So much food in this one pot and so many flavors! I love eating hot pots and Tasty Pot is one of my go tos. When you get there, you scan the QR code and order on your phone. The server also gives you a nice cold tea to drink which was really refreshing. I got the Beef Hot Soup in mild and it's just the right amount of spice that I like. I would recommend.

This place feels cramped and rushed. I recommend getting it to go because the food comes quickly with barely any flavor. I was disappointed at first, along with their staffs keep coming by and checking up on us every 5 minutes. It felt like we were being rushed while sitting at a very small table. For the food, it tastes amazing after letting it sit and soak up the flavor for about 1 - 2 hours. Their parking lot is kinda small, though, so good luck to anyone! 🩷

I came on Friday shortly after they opened for dinner around 5:10 PM and there weren't that many people so it was pretty easy to find a table. If you come later on when there are more people, then they will help guide you to a table. Seemed like the Sizzling plate was a new addition to their menu because there was only one option available that was customizable and I got the pepper option. It was pretty good because it had a nice BBQ smokey flavor to it. Their boba was very interesting because it wasn't soft like it usually is, but it wasn't hard in a bad way. ~~Parking: It's located in a shared plaza with a couple other shops, but there was still plenty of parking when we departed around 6:30 PM. ~~Service: Good. You place your order through the QR code and the meals come, though it can be a little hard to hail someone down if you're looking to check up on your order or to get the check. ~~Pros: Food was very filling and it was nice that they had a lot of sauce options for you to choose from. ~~Cons: Would be nice if they provided extra bowls for sharing the plates (hot pot & sizzling plate). ~~Tip: If you like spicy, would definitely recommend the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup. ~~Return: Definitely, it would be cool to see if they expand their sizzling plate menu to include more options.
