I was looking to try a new hot pot spot but when I got there I wasn’t greeted me and my fiancé were seated way in the back where nobody was and also our menus were thrown on the table by the female waitress with no indication of anything. The next time I saw her was when we were walking out and she was on her phone . Needless to say I definitely was profiled and felt I wasn’t served because of my brown skin.

Good selection of individual hot pot. Good quality ingredients and portion. It appears that their soup base doesn’t have any MSG.\\n\\nAlso, they offer good selection of bobas and milk tea.\\n\\nPro tips: bring cash! You will get 10% from your bill.

My rating is based on my one-time visit. I ordered Japanese Miso Hot Soup and stinky tofu. Stinky tofu was the only available side dish; I was hoping more options (they did have add-ons).\\n\\nFor those who have never had Boiling Point from California, this will give you a similar experience. For those who have had Boiling Point, you would probably be a little underwhelmed.

Ordered Taiwan supreme spicy hot soup and Beef hot soup. Service is fast and the pots are tasty. These pots are very suitable for winter time as it keeps heating until the end of the meal and that keeps you very warm. Next time will definitely try other soups

I ordered the beet hot soup with medium spicy! This is a great alternative to the typical hotpot experience, which is cooking your own food and figuring out the timing of when the food is ready. For those who are worried about cooking their own food and worried about the food being raw, tasty pot puts together all the ingredients into one pot and all the ingredients are cooked and continues to be kept hot in the meal. It’s a good experience and I liked the food! At my recent dine in experience, I learned that if you pay fully in cash, you can have 10% off your bill.

I first had Tasty Pot in San Diego, and my friends and I would go back weekly. It was that good. So, I was excited to find a Tasty Pot when I moved to Boston.However, this place is just okay. Prices are more expensive, they provide less ingredients, and for some reason, they always seem to be out of the roe fish balls (my favorite, highly recommend!). The sauces are what makes this restaurant great, and they have a good variety of different pre-set combos. The flavoring of the soup tastes watered down. I've tried this place about 5 times in the past 3 years, and I feel disappointed every time.

Good spot for a nice tasty casual dinner. Good size portions and you can always add on. Exactly like all other Tasty Pots.

Known for its “Stinky Pot”, I was a bit disappointed at the stinkyness of the pot because there isn’t much stinky tofu in the pot. It would be much better if they could be more generous with the Stinky Tofu. Other than that, the pot was pretty tasty, I got the highest spicy level and it’s still well within my tolerance level, so if you are a spicy person, I’d recommend you get the most spicy level to try.The other pot was TW BBQ Sauce and it could be better if they put more sauce in the pot.Overall, a decent place for stinky pot with friendly staff and interesting interior decor (dragon mural on the wall).

Great hotpot place for 1-2 people+ hotpot base and sauce taste great+ good amount+ decent food quality+ friendly service/ food already put inside and served individually. Not bustling enough for big group but it’s nice for small group$19 /each

Take it from me, a hot pot fiend, you won't be disappointed by Tasty Pot. This is a little different from the usual hot pot I am used to. Each bowl of broth comes pre-made with all of the delicious ingredients you are used to. You can add rice, glass noodles or instant noodles as your side. I got the curry pot and my friend got the seafood. They were both hefty portions and the broths were flavorful and luxurious. I do wish they gave us some tools for the lobster in the seafood pot as well as better tools than plastic spoons to slurp up the soup. That's my teeny tiny complaint.Otherwise this is the perfect place to grab a bowl and sit for a few hours. We didn't get the bubble tea but I will be sure to try it next time.
