Tasty Pot - San Francisco

One of our go to hot pot places. The food is delicious (vegetarian with tomato soup base and the beef one are our favorite) and comes out reasonably fast. For vegetarians, their vegetarian option has a lot of veggies. Other spots i have been to are just tofu, lettuce and maybe a mushroom but here there is all kinds of veggies, carrots, mushrooms, yam, lotus roots, cabbage, tofu, corn and more. The beef one also had lots of extras like clam, beef, squid, some veggies and more.The milk tea was pretty bad though. We got the panda and hokkaido and it tastes like just half and half milk. Haven't tried their fruit teas though.Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, their vegetarian option has a lot of veggies.

We went to SF end of May and it was still spring. Extremely chilling. It was our last nite in SF and had this dinner with our relatives. I ordered lamb soup while others ordered different menu. Each of us got a bowl of soup with veggie and meats. The soup can be added and surprisingly it used the same soup for everyone although our orders were different. So it seems the difference was the in the range of meats. Service is very efficient and fast. And the restaurant was crowded. Price is also very reasonable

They refused to honor their yelp promotion for free boba with purchase. False advertising offering free boba with meal and not honoring coupons they ACTIVELY advertising. So cheap...This left a sour taste in my mouth, I manage a Yelp business front and know how easy to turn off promotions.

This is one of my go to places when I can't decide what to eat. I absolutely love their soups. This place is always busy but I've never had to wait for a table. It can be loud depends on bow many people are there. You do have to get the server's attention when you need anything. Although they aren't the most attentive, I can't stop coming back because the food is amazing! I usually get the kimchi dumpling hot soup with sichuan spicy broth. As you dig into the meal, every bite is different. You get to eat so many different meats as you go through. I love it!

Service like others say is so bad. Staff is uninterested, you can tell from their facial expressions. Never provided instructions that you have to order on the phone. Also after bringing food out never came to check on table, I needed more napkins due to a spill and no one came by. I asked about the Yelp check in offer and was interrupted by the staff member before I could finish my sentence. He cut me off to say it's not offered anymore, which came off as rude and impatient. It's common social etiquette, you know? It really should be removed from Yelp if it is no longer offered. My Thai hot soup was delicious , soup is very hot . Curry soup is not good, would not order again. I like the presentation.With four people eating on one table, I felt it was cramped and bumping into each other. My chopsticks would get caught on someone else's metal stand or we bump into each other. Not entirely comfortable or safe because burning hot soup spilled on someone .Oh you get to pick vermicelli or rice. Don't order vermicelli it is SO SMALL compared to the bowl of rice. Shouldnt they be the same size?
