Boiling Point

Hot pot dinners are preset with everything. You can tell them if you don’t want something. The curry one I got mild but it was too spicy for me and I had to drink so much water. Husband likes spicy and his was spicy. The kids liked the little dessert packets they give with the check. Overall good. But don’t get anything mild if you can’t handle much heat.

First time at Boiling Point and I liked it! Basically it’s individualized hot pot. Except they throw all the food in there for you so no cook waiting time! We got two types, both with zero spiciness. The beef and the seafood. The soup has a little vermicelli in it, and you get a side of rice or more vermicelli. The beef soup was tastier than the seafood soup. We had them extinguish the flame because it kept boiling and was just too hot! Very fast eating. Good service. Use the garlic bean paste condiment in the table; very good.

A unique experience of a single serve hot pot meal. The mild miso soup broth was delicious. The fish ball was my favorite ingredient. Presentation was neat, but it was a bit challenging to eat since ingredients were pulled directly from the boiling broth. It may have been helpful to ask for an extra empty small bowl to transfer cooked food into. A bit of a smaller venue and very busy, even at 9:30 pm. If you go closer to a typical dinner time, be prepared for a wait.

Even the lowest level spice has some kick, so I suggest leaning toward the lower end of the spice spectrum unless you know you like a lot of heat in your dishes.

Boiling point has been one of my favorite hotpot places since our first tasted in Southern California in 2014. When we are craving for small hot pot, this is definitely our top place to go.

For lunch you will get one drink for free(black or green tea), including weekend, which is very amazing.

Their appetizer was not as impressive as the hotpot when we visited in November, 2021.

We got House Special and Seafood & Tofu this time.

House special has been a very classic and authentic Taiwanese small hotpot flavors.

I like how Seafood & Tofu has lots of seafood instead of those typical hotpot seafood ball you would see in other places. They put too much white pepper in the soup base, so it tasted not as plain as I expected. Gladly they were able to add soup so it tasted a lot better after that.

The white pepper was the main reason I gave 4 stars but overall it’s very good and tasty. Will definitely visit again.

It was my first time here. I ordered a Mild Korean Bean Paste. Food was delicious! We had servers consistently check on us and made sure we had everything. It was fairly busy since it was a cold day. I loved it and I will Def come back to try the other dishes on the menu.
