Pop Pot

It is a nice little walk in, in the teso Plaza and I can say with certainty the taste of Taiwan is definitely reflected in the hot pot. The atmosphere is oddly quiet but in a nice way, everyone seems focused on their hot pot and there isn't really loud bustling chatter. The service can definitely feel a little cold at first but perhaps it is because there are a lot of orders and only 2 servers when I went. But of course on to the food. I got the data beef and the Taiwanese spicy hotpot and they were absolutely amazing. The satay beef tasted authentic, bringing be back to my home kitchen where the flavor is almost exactly the same as my mother's home cooking. The ingredients such as the fish cakes and the blood rice cake are essential to any Taiwanese hot pot. One thing I do have to say is thay the add-ons seem a bit excessive in price. The amount of add on received seems a bit small and harsh. 3$ for 2 blood rice cakes that are about an inch long and 3/4 of a centimeter on both sides is interesting. However I have nothing to complain about the flavor as it is simply savory, intricate, and aromatic.

A very solid hot pot place! Everything I've tried has been flavorful and packed with the ingredients. I love spicy food, and their spicy is actually p spicy. Individual servings (not AYCE or shard with the table), and I get so full from a little over half; I can usually take my leftovers for another meal! So the price ($15-19) is worth it for me, imo. There's usually a few parties/tables whenever I come, and the service has been good. If the soup is too boiling hot for you, you can ask them to extinguish the flame.

Yummy! I prefer this style over the communal hot pot/AYCE restaurants because the soups have more flavor and options and you don't have to keep reaching and fishing for specific items. Also, decent price ($15-19) that is really filling. I got the sour napa pot medium spicy, and got to also try the satay beef. They all come with a choice of rice or glass noodles, and a savory/sweet/spicy sauce. My sour napa comes with pork and was soo delicious - the sour soup flavor is quite strong and I couldn't stop drinking the soup. Also I think the amount of cabbage really filled me up. The satay beef was also good and had a lot of beef, but I think the soup could have used more satay flavor. Each pot has a slightly different set of additional ingredients (meat balls, pig blood cake, intestines, etc) but they are all pretty generous and complete the hotpot experience.

We went when it was almost closing time so the vibes were very peaceful (bad on our part ), but the employees were still very friendly as well as careful/considerate!! Went with family and we asked for two sate beefs pots but one with everything except for cilantro) and one with no cilantro and fish balls due to allergies. The employees noticed our request to remove the fish balls, and notified us that the sate might contain seafood, and asked if we wanted to switch to a Taiwanese spicy broth in order to accommodate our allergies! The pots were the perfect size for us individually, and the hot pot was super good overall! We also got the popcorn chicken which was very crispy :D I'd highly recommend this place! :)

After years of dining here and ordering to go, This is still my favorite non-AYCe hot pot place. The pot is just so flavorful and full of toppings. The service is great. But the dipping sauce is the reason I keep coming back.

Three stars because of service. Pop Pot closes at 10 PM on Saturdays. My friends and I arrived at 9. I'd understand their dismay if we came in 30 minutes to closing, but there was still a full hour. They also didn't answer the phone when I called twice about their hours. (Restaurant had three occupied tables so not like they were too busy to answer). Our arrivals were staggered, but the first friend who got there was immediately asked if he was ready to order as he sat down. As each person arrived, the same was asked right when we sat. It was clear they were trying to rush us to get out of the restaurant as soon as possible. Gave us one menu for a table of 5 and expected us to know what we wanted without giving us any time to review our choices. They'd groan or show resentment when we asked for napkins, water refills, and sauce refills.The four stars are for the food. I got the mild version of the Thai style. The broth was very flavorful, and the soup was very filling. This is not AYCE, so the protein, veggies, and starch already come cooking in the bowl. There is also no sauce bar, but they provide a dipping sauce that is very delicious. I'd come back for the food, but it'll be a while before I return.

Pop Pot is one of the staple hotpot places in the metro-Atlanta area, and for good reason. I used to come here before Covid, but this is my first time coming since 2020 and the quality does not disappoint. The interior was empty except for 1 other party despite it being 7 PM on a Saturday night. We got seated and served extremely quick and service throughout was exceptional.My girlfriend and I got the Taiwanese spicy and sukiyaki hotpot per the recommendation of the waitress. The sukiyaki has a sweeter brother while the Taiwanese has more of a tang with some sweetness. Each of the hotpot meals come with the option of white rice or glass noodle on top of what is already included in the hotpot. Overall, pop pot is still one of the staple hotpot places in Atlanta and barely scrapes a 5* review. The only deterrent is that the prices keep increasing, and the amount of ingredients in each dish not named "Cabbage" is decreasing.

The customer service is great - they seat you as soon as you walk in. They seem attentive where they make sure to take your oder as soon as you ready, remember to come back when you need more time. The hot pot's each come with a warmer and they make sure you are okay with the heat or turn off the fire when you are ready, they also fill your hot pot with soup if you want more.I got the satay beef pot and I would definitely give it a 5/5. The restaurant gave plenty beef and did not skimp out on the amount unlike some other restaurants. You can tell the quality of the beef was good. There were other ingredients like fish cakes, vegetables, tofu which gave a good variety and all tasted fresh. I got the mild spice but I would go for no spice as I feel like the broth in general already has some spice. I felt that the mild spice was a little too spicy for me at first. Over time though, the spice went away and I did not notice it anymore!I previously got the mushroom pot before - i would say it is definitely yummy but not very filling. So I would give it a 4.6/5!

I got the Taiwanese Beef Pop Pot and wow, so much food! You better come hungry or there's no way you'll be able to finish. I thought my Hot Pot was delicious! I got 100% spicy and it was perfect! They did not skimp on the toppings, there was plenty of everything. This hot pot already comes with ramen noodles, but you also get glass noodles or rice on the side, which is awesome! The broth was super tasty and everything just tasted so good! The service was great also. I'm really glad I got to try this place, it was delicious and I have no complaints!

I love eating at this place. The food is fantastic, and the broth is incredibly savory. I really appreciate that everyone gets their own pot with a fire underneath to keep the broth boiling and hot. The sauces are also super flavorful; I always get extra bean sauce. My favorite is the Taiwanese spicy pot in mild, with extra shiitake mushrooms and quail eggs.
