Tasty Dining is one of my favorite spots to revisit anytime I am back in the 626. They specialize in Chinese dry pot, which is kind of like a mix between stir fry and hotpot. The best part is the meal is fully customizable!! You pick your sauce, spice level, dry pot size, base and toppings!! I've been here several times with my mom and family. We always order the garlic sauce and get mild or non-spicy depending on our mood. This past visit, we got their griddle cooked beef short rib combo with fish and griddle cooked chicken cartilage (my personal favorite) with spam, noodle, mushroom and rice cake add-on. All griddle pots come with bean sprouts, cauliflower, potatoes, and celery. The portions are quite big and can be taken to go!! The food is always packed with flavor and I love the variety of texture/items in the dish. The chicken cartilage was crunchy, while the fish filet is tender. The beef short rib was a bit chewy for me though. In addition to good food, their prices are fair (around $20-$30 per person) and they also have lunch special where you can order a small size pot! The staff is also super friendly!! They also have lots of seating. This is a must try in the 626.

First time coming here and I would honestly recommend this place to friends and family! We got the combo pot with frog legs and beef with mala sauce. You can have the spiciness adjusted but medium was a perfect level. We added on a bunch of extra sides that made the pot more flavorful. It was pretty slow when we dined in, but the place had great space and ambience. Would come again!

Probably the best dry pot around the area. The food is so good, love the intestine in the spicy sauce. Big portions, one large combination is enough for 4 people. Service is quick, but limited English. only mandarin. Small shop but great food!

Never left a review for here before but tonight I'm pretty stuffed while my wife nibbles away. She's been craving this for a while. Tonight we decided to add a kimchi fried rice to our normal hot pot griddle (chicken and bull frog for our meats). Nice place on a Saturday night! Staff was attentive (lots of water refills). Food was yummy. Placed was packed!

I underestimated their definition of "master large size" because the three of us barely made a dent in the food. The dry pot is very customizable which is nice because you can each have your own small one or just get one and have it family-style. We ordered the griddle cooked beef and beef ox tripe combo and various toppings: napa cabbage, taro, fresh bamboo shoots, king oyster mushroom, frozen tofu, wild vermicelli, dried bean curd sheets, and Shuanghui sausage. We chose the spicy flavor and got medium spicy. I don't regret the spice level but it's not for the weak because they mean it. I would personally opt for mild next time so I don't need to take a break every few bites. That said, the food was delicious. The meat was so tender and flavorful and every single item was coated well in the sauce. It's also over a heat source the whole time so it stays piping hot if you mix it up. Also, don't skip out on the pumpkin cakes. I heard that they were good so I ordered them skeptically but it was so addicting that I kept eating more. It has a crispy outer shell from being fried but the inside is mochi-like so it has a chewy texture. It was pretty empty on a Monday night so they seated us right away and there's plenty of parking in the underground structure.
