New Tasty Restaurant

We left New Street station keen to head into Chinatown, and I really wanted to taste something new. We were struck by the name "New Tasty", so I felt like we had to go in. They offer two menus - one more standard menu at a Chinese place and another "hot pot" menu. I'd never had a hot pot before, so I was thinking this was perfect! We didn't know what to get so my partner and I ended up getting the standard hot pot each. The broth that comes with the spicy option was particularly flavourful. It took a bit (and some googling) to figure out how I was meant to eat but I I got used to it and I thought it was great! The food was so flavourful and there were so many seafood options to choose from. There were some thin meats also, and a host of traditional vegetables and noodles. The restaurant can easily be missed - although lit up it is sandwiched next to other options on the side road by New Street. But once inside, I found the decor to be wonderfully decorated with little gems everywhere, coy fish seemingly swimming up one world, goose statuettes above the drinks selection to the Chinese lanterns on the ceilings. As the tables have to be sturdy to cook the hot pots, they were a good size but also sleek and stylish. There is a soft melodious tune that plays in the background, which is just perfect to stop and enjoy the food. It was more of a experience really, I loved it. We would definitely come again.

I had the hotpot buffet and it was really really good. Tasted like hotpot's I've had in China. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be back again!

After a long 6 hour trip on the coach to Birmingham. My friend and I decided we fancied some Chinese food. It was late so many places were closing and didn’t want to travel far as we were travelling all day. We Decided to come here. The staff were nice and took our order swiftly. The food was lovely and came quick. They have one of the best Satay Sauces I’ve ever had.

Our first time here yesterday, we came as recommended by friends. Our Hot Pot cost 18.99 per person which was really good. We were offered individual pots or big one in the middle to share and we loved the sharing one. We had half chicken soup and half spicy soup. All the plates, bowls, ladles, tongs, spoons were really clean. The decos and atmosphere were beautiful . Loved the Kois on the walls. We would come back again to try other dishes. One thing we weren’t told, was that sliced meat were in the freezer by the door. We thought it was ice cream freezer, so we had lots of seafood with no meat. Prawns were really fresh and tasty. Lots of sauces to choose from. Thank you for the lovely meal.

This was a wonderful restaurant! Friendly staff! Beautiful decor, clean & stylish! Very tasty food although a tad too spicy for me but that can be rectified next time. Very close to the theatres! Reasonably priced! Highly rate this business!

10/10 stars here! As a south east asian, I have been missing THE authentic Szechuan hotpot since I moved to England. Thank goodness I checked this place on my work trip to Birmingham. THE best Szechuan spicy mala hotpot I have ever had in the UK! Plus only 22 for the whole pot! I am a small eater solo traveller so it’s enough for 2 meals for me. You can also choose 8 ingredients (quality is top notch), all inclusive in 22. How amazing that is! I am a fan of spicy food, so I chose Medium degree and it’s just the right one for me (I am a Nando’s XX Vusa Hot person for reference). P.S. Excuse my photo, I literally only realised I should take a photo at half point! So you can see the portion size! Highly recommended place!!!

The best !!!! All foods taste fabulous and perfect. I didn't expect such a great dumplings. Highly recommend!

Love their sliced pork with garlic sauce! We’ve had this many times and it’s always the best. Beef brisket soup noodles is great too - forgot to take a pic.
