Enjoy this place, you can pick your level of heat with all the diner choices. Frequent this place, only down side is the street parking in dinky town.
I love the spicy Sichuan flavor hotpot. If you've read my review about another spot and their hotpot. This one beats it hands down. I wish I could give it more than 5 Stars. Service is fast. Food came out fast. Food came out hot and spicy. The taste is just so good. Authentic spices. I ate half way before I remeber to snap a photo ?. The amount of food was wow for 2 people. Definitely a must try if you like spicy food on a cold day. Yes it's still winter in MN on 5/20/2022 unfortunately.
I came in with my girl around closing like thirty minutes before and they were able to get us situated and seated real quick. Our server, Dan, was very kind and served us quick and efficiently and the food was amazing per usual. Definitely my favorite hot pot place downtown. Also, as I was putting my food in a to go container, Dan was very kind and helped me put it in the container. A gesture that I’ve never gotten anywhere else and I highly appreciated it, thank you for the amazing service!
Ordered beef hot pot and one of the clams had a lot of sand in it. It was enough sand that other food items also had sand on it. Told the chef and was told it was "the beef seasoning". It definitely was not. I had a good previous experience here but will not be back. The servers are extremely busy which makes for a difficult dining experience.
Had the #9 Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot. This literally was delicious! If you are a person who generally cannot take spice, I do not recommend this dish. But if you love mild to spicy then this is the perfect dish for you! It was my first time getting this and no regrets at all! Super delicious!One thing I do not recommend getting is the Miso hot pot. I did get this my first time ever visiting tasty pot and it really strayed me away for the longest time from eating here. Years and years later I decided to try eating here again the #9 is what's going to keep me coming back :)
Perfect for snowy days!!!! It's one of my go-to hot pot restaurants near UMN campus. It's not like Chinese hot pots, which was surprising at first. Everything comes into the pot and cooked! There is also a small candle at the bottom of the pot so that you can enjoy your food warm entire time! I've been their customer for 4 years and will continue going there.
The broth was flavorful. Each is served in an individual pot: some flavors are Taiwanese spicy, Japanese miso, seafood, vegetarian, ... to one that even features cheese! Each comes with an assortment of meat and veggies, different things depends on the soup base you choose. Out of the 12 soup bases to choose from, I had the authentic Taiwanese spicy one with intestine and blood cakes ?. Spicy level is on a hot side so medium is hot for many, just be aware of that.
I love it here! Every time I come to Tasty Pot I always order #9. Have really great customer service and all. Definitely recommended!
Tasty pot is a hidden gem in the heart of U of M campus. So what do you get if you wanna try tasty pot for the first time and enjoy it, I’d say keep it simple and order the beef or the lamb pots. Those are always a homerun safe choice. # 1 & #2. Don’t forget to get the iced tea!
This place is so delicious. First time having hot pot and was told this was the best place on campus. I also love how you can make the dishes spicy. Lots of Minnesota restaurants are basically lying when they say they will make it spicy.
