Having recently moved here from Fremont, my husband and I were craving hotpot and tried out Tasty Point.First off, parking isn't too challenging - there's street parking and a small lot behind the bank for 2 hours, metered. At 6pm, the restaurant was a little empty but it was a Tuesday evening. Service is great and attentive, and the menu has a large variety: hotpot, rice meals, ramen, and even fruit teas. So there could be different options if someone in your party is not feeling for hotpot.We ordered the #4 Herbal lamb pot to share, with an extra side of udon and lamb. Within 10 minutes the pot came out. Like other reviews have mentioned, the portions are not big, and there was plentiful of cabbage as filler. The broth was not flavorful and a little watery, but I'm assuming since it's the herbal broth it may be less flavorful than other pots.Total came out to $30 before tip. For some reason, their card reader was not working - we tried 2 different cards and both came out as "card not found" which is bizarre as they worked just fine an hour later at a boba place down the street. Thus, we had to pay in cash, but hoping next time the card reader issue is resolved.Additionally, they have a promotion going on right now where for every $20 you spend, you get a cute scratch card that may give you free items. Mine got me a Blind Box which had a plushi inside.It wasn't impressive but we'll come again to try out the other pots.

This was my second visit to Tasty Point, and I must say that it's definitely improved since my first time visiting. To be fair, my first visit here was around their grand opening so they were still getting the hang of things. Back then, the service was somewhat slow and the hot pot didn't impress me too much.However, this time around, I came here for lunch with my friends after playing spikeball on a chilly day- the perfect weather for hot pot. I ordered the Coconut Cream Curry Hot Pot and our table also shared the Super French Fries. The hot pot was hearty and had a subtle curry flavor, but not super strong. I appreciated how clean and light the broth was. My favorite toppings were the fried fish ball, pork fish ball, and sweet corn, although I found the pork a bit too fatty for my taste. After eyeing the pumpkin in my boyfriend's Golden Spicy Soup Beef Hot Pot, he let me steal a few bites of his soup, and it was delicious-his broth might have been my favorite. Both hot pots were excellent though. I would probably pass next time on the Super French Fries. My friends were intrigued by them, but we were disappointed to find that they mainly tasted like fried oil without much potato. One of my friends dipped it in his soup, and it surprisingly made them more enjoyable or at least you could taste more potato in the fry. Overall, the fries were the only disappointment with the food. When I explored the menu, the other hot pots looked delicious and it actually made it difficult for me to just choose one. The pricing is comparable to other individual hot pot places like Tasty Pot and Boiling Point. If the cold weather calls for it, I will be back to try their desserts and explore more of their hot pot options.

This is my second time here. The first time I would've given a 3/5, but I feel like this place has definitely improved! The soup is much tastier than last time. Their menu is HUGE and they have a wide variety. They have many other things other than hot pot, which I'd be willing to try next time.I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot and it was HUGE. There was plenty of food inside. There was even a whole ramen in there and plenty of beef slices. The broth doesn't taste like your usual Taiwanese spicy pot, but I actually like it! It's cleaner and less oily, which is to my liking.My bf got the Coconut Curry Hot Pot and it was quite delicious! I was worried it would be too coconut-y but thankfully it was just the right amount. I think for those who like curry hot pots but don't want the coconut, you can easily tell them to remove it bc they literally just put coconut milk over it. Overall it was pretty good. My bf usually gets the curry pot at Tasty Pot (which is his fave) and he said this one was actually a little better bc, again, it was less oily and had a lot of food inside.Service was great--food came out fast. The server frequently refreshed water. Plenty of seating indoors and pretty spacious.

After a morning at Alameda Beach, we were looking for a last minute lunch that would satisfy some picky toddlers, and after encountering a long wait at a nearby brunch spot, we happened to park right in front of Tasty Point. We saw noodles and no wait, and thought this was perfect.They weren't too busy around 1:15pm on a Saturday afternoon. Total about $70 (including tax/tip) for a light lunch for 2 adults and 4 young kids. Y05 Peach Yoghurt ($6.75) - 3.5 stars. VERY sweet. Very viscous. 4 kids and 1 adult shared this, we each just had a little.AP08 New Orleans Chicken Wings (12 for $10.95) - 4 stars. Tender and flavorful, and kids liked it.AP18 Edamame ($4.95) - 3.5 stars. Good!RA01 Tonkatsu Ramen ($14.95) - 4 stars. We asked for plain ramen and broth, no toppings, so they gave us a double serving of noodles, which was perfect to be shared between 4 young kids.RA05 Black Garlic Oil Ramen ($15.95) - 4 stars. Lovely intense broth flavor. Soft egg yolk and tender meat.

Service was great here, located close to downtown alameda on park street. Food was great, we ordered the Taiwanese hotpot and def hit the spot since it's cold. The Garlic Ramen was soo good with a tender pork belly char siu. I love that their menu is pretty extensive so you can order boba, Asian desserts like tofu, durian pudding and mango sago.

I didn't realize that they used Sichuan peppercorns instead of a spicy oil to make the hotpot spicy so when I ordered the lamb hotpot I was really disappointed. They did have some chilli sauce on the table, but it just didn't taste the same. The broth tasted pretty bland to me and it didn't really hit the hotpot craving for me. They also don't offer additional soup or at least our server didn't come around to offer us more. They mostly have "large" sizes for their hotpot, so if you plan on coming here, be sure to be hungry otherwise you probably won't be able to finish. I came super hungry, but ended up not even finishing my food. The large hotpot costs about $20-$21. The waitress also never came around to collect our bill, so I just walked up to the front to pay. She was apologetic, but I don't think I'll be back due to the food.

Decisions decisions decisions... They have 11 different options with varying overlaps. I'd say there's something for everyone. We noticed they included a lot of cabbage as filler. The amount of meat did not make up for that. Overall, I'd say the place is clean, staff were nice, and the food came out quick. They told us about their ongoing promo - I won $1 off next visit or something .

I was excited to see a spot like this similar to boiling point and tasty pot in the area (since they're all pretty far). They offer a large variety of dishes (hot pot, ramen, rice, skewers, appetizers, dessert, drinks). I wanted to see how the individual hot pot compared to other spots, so I tried the porcini. I chose vermicelli as my carb base (over the rice). Pots seem to be a bit bigger in size so it doesn't look full when it's brought out. There's no spicy option for this pot, so I just added the chili oil that's found on the table side. I wasn't a fan of the soup, pretty bland. It's just okay, may need to give another pot a try.I was intrigued by the super French fries. There's two seasoning options, cheese and wasabi seaweed. Tried the wasabi seasoning, good flavor to the fries but the fries tasted too fried. I was hoping there would still be the soft potato filling when you bite into it. I still kept eating it though - fun appetizer! Workers were friendly. Spacious spot with many table seatings available. Convenient spot to dine in for anyone walking around park street area.

Tasty Point is kind of like the Taiwanese hotpot chain Tasty Pot. The menu features a selection of specialty hotpots, Taiwanese street food eats like stinky tofu, popcorn chicken, fried calamari, etc, boba/fruit teas, and desserts like tofu puddings. It's a fun place for groups as the foods are conducive to sharing. That's not to say solo diners can't enjoy the hotpots, as they can be ordered in different sizes.Parking is along the street. The interior is modern and cozy, with large photos of their specialty hotpots on the wall.Our group of 5 shared a large Korean Army Hotpot, a few appetizers like stinky tofu, fried king oyster mushrooms, curry fishballs, and a Taiwanese sausage and braised pork rice bowl.While the foods were tasty, the portions were all a bit small. The large hotpot was not large nor deep. It serves more like 2 instead of 4. That's the reason we ordered the rice bowl as an addition. The boba drinks were very good and we really enjoy the tofu pudding in a real coconut. Service was a bit lacking as our server only checked on us once the entire time, and they didn't bother to provide us with sharing plates and bowls even though they know we were dining family style.What was nice was that they gave us a few scratchers along with our bill, and we found that we won a free drink, a blind box(surprise gift), and a $1 coupon toward future purchase.Tasty Point better up their game if they want to compete with Tasty Pot.
