Overall great experience! Price: $21 per person excluding tax and tip Since I came with a group of 6, we took advantage of the combo meal for 4 which includes one big pot w 4 add-ons, 4 small dishes, and 4 rice bowls all for $126. Food: For the add-ins, I recommend the pork meatballs and wide starch noodles. They were so good! The fish pieces that come in the big pot are a great texture and they don't taste fishy. For the small dishes, I recommend the crispy fried pork belly, spicy sour fern starch noodles, and takoyaki. But my family LOVED the house made fresh milk mochi. Cannot recommend it enough. Service: The waitress was really nice! Ambiance: Modern and clean. As a group of 6, we sat comfortably in a booth.
I've never seen a restaurant bring out such a huge dish of stew this quickly! B2J Tasty Pot is a fantastic and unique addition to Bayside's food scene. For those unfamiliar with this style of Chinese cuisine, imagine "hot pot" with all the ingredients fully cooked. No need to wait for food to finish cooking in a steaming pot of water. Be sure to bring some eager eaters that can quickly finish this stew before the dish grows cold. You can also add on some small dishes to accompany the dish, like grilled chicken wings, (very crispy) takoyaki, and a sweet milk mochi to round out your meal!
Just discovered my go-to spot for incredible Chinese sauerkraut fish pot! Absolutely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Sour Cabbage Fish in NYC. We dove into the three-person set meal for $95.99--perfectly sufficient for four of us with some to spare! The meal boasted a 1.5 lb fish, your choice of three side dishes, and a delightful variety of small plates. We chose the classic Lao Tan flavor for the fish--so savory you'd want to drink the broth! Our sides included celtuce, king oyster mushrooms, and wide noodles, all simmering beautifully with the fish. For small dishes, we opted for crispy fried chicken wings, handmade brown sugar rice cake, and a refreshing spicy cucumber salad. Capped off with a jug of sweet and tangy sour plum juice and a complimentary serving of silky milk mochi sprinkled with crushed cereal--this place knows how to satisfy a foodie's soul!
We ordered the combo for 2 split between 3 people and it was more than enough food! Got the classic spicy sour with fish and beef with the cucumber and chicken with chili sauce apps. I think there are some places in Flushing that is a little better for Szechuan food but overall, we enjoyed it! This place is very clean and the staff were all super nice. I would probably go back and try their spicy pot!
Restaurant decor is aesthetically simple and clean. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Overall it was a good dining experience. The food was delicious. The classic fish soup was fresh, well seasoned with the right amount of spices (they have a tomato soup base for people who can't eat spicy). We ordered the fish soup combo for 3 which includes 3 add-ons to the soup and 3 small dishes from the menu. The milk mochi desert was amazingly good.
A Hot Pot Hot Spot: B2J Tasty Pot Delivers Flavor with a Side of Saltiness! I've only been to Bayside a few times, but it seems like the Asian food here is always bussing, and B2J Tasty Pot is no different. I came here with family and friends, and overall, we enjoyed the meal. The portions were decent. We had a group of six, and the combo for four, along with half a dozen appetizers, was more than enough for us--though, to be fair, four of the women didn't eat that much. Food-wise, the cucumber salad and starch noodles were just okay--nothing extraordinary, but they provided a refreshing and cool contrast to the piping hot and spicy dishes. The fried pork belly, on the other hand, was the standout appetizer. It had a perfectly crunchy exterior and a juicy interior that was pretty delicious. We ordered the fish combo for four, and the portion size was huge. The fish slices were generous, and the add-ons really elevated the stew. However, toward the end of the meal, I noticed the fish and other ingredients had become overly salty to the point of being difficult to eat without a lot of rice. I'm not sure if it was due to the extended stewing in the salty broth or if I just became more aware of it as the meal progressed, but it was a bit of a letdown. The décor was nice and clean, with a cozy Asian vibe, and the service was quick--though we did come right when they opened, so we had the place to ourselves. Despite some misses with the food, I would still recommend B2J Tasty Pot for its unique cuisine and great location. It's situated on a main street in Bayside, so after your spicy meal, it's easy to stroll around and grab dessert nearby.
Tried the basic fish soup (big enough for two), thousand years egg, fern starch noodles, and the fresh milk mochi. All of the above were amazing, well above average. The fish and tofu in the soup were very very good. Friendly service, good atmosphere, affordable prices. Highly recommend.
Boyfriend and I love this place. We come here pretty often since we're close by. We usually order their signature flavor - combo for 2: all fish including 2 side dishes (so worth) and di are very flavorful. Highly recommend this place!
Awesome air conditioning so you can eat hot fish soup even when the weather is warm. Combo for 2 is great for two people. I can't finish all the food. They give a lot of fish. The soup broth is savory with pickled vegetables, fried garlic and other flavors. Excellent soup broth. Service was nice and dishes came out quick. Seating is comfy and spacious.
B2J has been on my list to check out ever since they opened up! I came last month on a random Wednesday night and it wasn't crowded. We ordered the combo for two, which included the small size pot, 2 appetizers and 2 bowls of rice. For the pot, we got the the beef and fish pot in the tomato soup flavor. I'm always worried that the spicy will be tooo spicy, but will definitely be back to try it! The soup came with frozen tofu and you could choose 2 add-ons. For the appetizers, we chose the crispy fried pork belly which was amazing, and the house made fried milk custard. The milk custard was very interesting, but I wouldn't get it again. They had a promotion where if you suggest to 2 friends to check out B2J, they give you a free milk mochi dessert. We did this and it was really good! It was a good portion size, I was able to bring some back home. Service was quick, our waitress was super nice! Will be back to try some other things!
