De Tasty Hot Pot - Ithaca

Wonderful suppen. it's delicious Qnd spicy. they can order vegetables, pieces of meat to put it the pot. in five minutes it is ready to eat. best in the group, not alone.

Been ordering De Tasty for online delivery and I am in love with their lamb dishes which is the Sliced lamb with Cumin Powder Dry Chili with such a wise portion including the white rice and I could eat it for three meals. Yesterday was my first time dining inside the restaurant and inviting two friends of mine to capture this moment of having one of the best meals I've ever had in Ithaca. I've wanted to have the lamb again but I need to move on this time although my love for the lamb will be infinite still! Lol. I got the Beef with Chili Peller Soup in Dried Pot which was so good, loving the soup, it was even served with vermicelli (I guess? , and the beef was so tender. My friend #1 got my favorite lamb dish and she loved it! I was so glad to know it. My friend #2 got the lunch special of Boiled Fish Filet and Tofu with Roasted Chili Pepper Sauce (starting from 11-2pm if I'm not mistaken where we could get soup also besides white rice for every entreé. The fish filet and tofu dish were also scrumptious, the flavor is so rich and the sauce is tempting as you can see it is orange brown bright colored. The staff was friendly but some of them have a language barrier which was okay but sometimes it will be hard to understand each other. Recommended to those who want to experience delicious meals that are rich in flavor in Ithaca which was hard to find, at least for me as an Asian!

Very ok for a hot pot place, the portions are smaller than other restaurants and the selection is smaller. Their spicy broth also isn't spicy at all. On the bright side, you'll be hard pressed to find any other hot pot places up here so it's good if you take that into consideration. Also, it's BYOB

Served oily appetizers cold. Chef special chicken w/vermicelli was neck bones and other bone. Also tip 20% was included in bill no notice given. Also service very poor the staff sat in middle of dining area and eating lunch NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of.patrons leaving. AVOID AT ALL COST. Aug 14 2022

The food is ok but the price is not the same as the menu. The waitress just said they changed the price. They should have informed me at the beginning! Also, what they claim to be premium meat is not fresh. So, goodbye and good luck!
