Who eats hot pot when it's this hot outside? Apparently me But honestly, Boiling Point still hits no matter what the weather is. Went to the Artesia location and Paige was our server. She was super friendly, attentive, and kept checking on us even though we were basically cooking ourselves along with the food Great food, great service, and having a cute server definitely didn't hurt either 10/10 -- would sweat through hot pot again read more

The food has always been good. We have gone since they opened, but in recent years, the product has gone down. First, the company decides to get rid of a few of our favorite soups (the Thai Tomato) then they replace it with some new dishes which is fine. I get it, product needs to change because of cost and all. The problem we had with our visit was that they were out of every soup except for four. Typically they have 14 options in total. Why replace our favorite dish with other dishes then not have those dishes? It doesn't make sense. The winter Melon tea is super delicious though. I think if the company stops trying to make Boiling Point so complicated, it would be awesome! For now, it's just meh. read more

A classic spot that I've been coming to for years. Rounding up from a 3.5-star review. The ambiance is casual. This specific location can have a pretty long wait at times, and the service is overall on the slower side. It's a great place to get a quick personal hot pot fix, especially since most hot pot places are AYCE. One thing that gets me, though, is the lack of consistency. They are constantly changing their recipes, and not necessarily for the better. Their spice level also fluctuates way too much. A bowl might taste incredibly spicy one day and then way too plain the next, depending on when you go. They definitely need better quality control in this regard. I always order the house special because it's a mini version of my favorite stinky hot pot from Taiwan. It's a quick and easy fix when I'm missing Taiwanese food, but it's not necessarily the best version of it. The drinks are surprisingly good, though! I love getting their green tea, both the classic tea and the milk tea. The tea leaves they use are good quality, and the tea is brewed in a way that really enhances the flavor. They also have surprisingly good boba for a non-boba-focused restaurant. After the meal, they usually give you some kind of digestive jelly or drink, which is a fun little touch. It's also important to note that you can ask the staff to turn off the heat and add more broth. Just keep in mind that the additional broth does taste more watered down. Overall, it's a reliable spot when I'm craving a personal hot pot, especially when I'm missing Taiwanese flavors, but the inconsistency and long wait keeps it from being a higher-rated spot for me. read more

I feel like this BP location deserves an updated review. For the past two years or so, I've seen a shift towards improved wait times and customer service, at least the times I've been there which includes lunch and dinner times. I'm not sure if management changed, but my main gripes--service and wait times, have improved somewhat. Food is good as always (especially that Taiwanese Spicy), and although price has increased a bit over time, they claim to give more meat and unlimited rice to help make the increase in price seem more worth it. Great place for the occasional dine-in. Note that you're still able to get unlimited rice after you've ordered vermicelli, or at least I've never had an issue. I appreciate the free little bowls of udon for the kids too (up to one per kid, but some servers are nicer about it). read more

I recently found out this location is under new management, and you can definitely tell--in a good way. On previous visits, we'd be seated and end up waiting over 30 minutes before anyone even came to help us. After ordering, we'd still wait another 10 minutes or more for our food. This visit was a completely different experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Service was much faster, and we never felt forgotten. The food is still just as amazing as it's always been. It doesn't seem like anything has changed with the menu or the quality, which I'm happy about. The only small change I noticed is that the kids' meal now only applies to children under 5. That's not a huge deal, but personally I think it would make more sense if it were available for kids up to age 11. Overall, the new management seems to have made a noticeable improvement to the service while keeping the great food that keeps us coming back. I'm looking forward to visiting again. read more

Always order the #4 Beef Hot Pot, spice level hot. Used to get level spicy. Food quality has been generally consistent over the years, which has been pleasant. Only let down related to the food is the broth not being as flavorful in the nighttime. By nighttime I mean before closing. Customer service is overall pretty good here, especially when it's within the first couple hours of being open. This location is pretty close to home and I've visited during both weekends and weekdays. My preference is to come during lunch hours (11-3 daily) because they give you a drink alongside your meal. Price is worth it too. Interior is generally clean and bigger than their location in GG, which is nice. I'd consider this a favorite restaurant of mine. They get pretty busy and wait could be a little long, but it goes by fast-ish during lunch hours. Shoutout to Jewel, by the way! She is really kind, hardworking, and always has a smile on her face, no matter how busy she is. Just wanted to give her recognition. read more

My local spot for when I'm craving hot pot! I usually order the beef pot and it never disappoints. When you go around their lunch special hours you can get a free tea with your pot. The beef pot is delicious, bursting with flavors. I usually get my broth mild because it's pretty spicy. I get it with vermicelli. Service is great, staff members are super friendly, tentative, and efficient. Ambiance is nice, there's descent amount of booths and tables. There's always a wait, but they have a iPad for you to put your name on the waitlist. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Ambiance- casual, cozy, welcoming. Only issue is tables are a little to close to one another. Service- Fast, efficient, welcoming, not overly attentive. Food- Great overall. Good place to go for hot pot. There are so many all you can eat hot pot places, but the good thing is, you won't overeat here. Still a generous portion to have you feeling satisfied. I ordered the Thai version for myself, medium spice and it didn't taste spicy at all, so maybe order a higher spice level if you prefer some real heat. PSA- We asked if trading the rice or glass noodles for udon noodles was ok, he said, yes. Well, we were charged 3.25 for each small udon noodle serving. I wish he would have said, "No, but there is an additional charge if you would like a side of udon". Honey fresh milk tea- perfect, not too sweet. read more

Am I crazy for eating hot pot in 90 weather? Absolutely lol. I've been to the Boiling Point in Garden Grove many times, but this was my first visit at this location. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a large parking lot with plenty of spots. Ambiance/Environment: I really like this location because it's very spacious, unlike the GG location. They have a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. All tables and chairs were clean. We visited during early dinner hours on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. More foot traffic came around 17:00-19:00. Service: Shout out to our server Jewel! She's attentive and courteous. She checked on us multiple times and refilled our waters. Throughput was also quick after ordering. Food: My go-to is the House Special or Beef. I decided to go with the Beef, mild, and rice. It came with a generous amount of protein, vegetables, and toppings. I also got rice in the side. Noodles and ramen cost extra. The soup base was very tasty with a nice kick to it. They also offered some specials like 50% off milk teas and happy hour during specific hours. Pricing: Don't forget to scan your BP points through the app. Prices have gone up over the years. It's worth it every once in a while. read more

What I Ordered: Beef ($20.45) Korean Bean Paste ($19.98) Garlic Pork Belly ($6.41) Scallion Gravy Rice ($2.83) Pudding Sweet Milk with Boba ($6.45) Food: Boiling Point's Hot Soup is always a good old reliable for a warm bowl of soup. My personal favorite is the Beef Hot Soup, which comes with beef, fish cake, and assorted vegetables. The broth is rich and savory and you can choose to get it with either rice or vermicelli noodles. I personally get mine with rice and choose the Mild spicy level. Don't forget that at lunch you can come for cheaper prices and free tea! It was my first time getting appetizers here, but I loved my Garlic Pork Belly, which is thinly sliced pork belly with a strong and savory garlic flavor. I love wrapping some rice with the pork belly and eating it all together in one bite. Staff: All staff members were friendly and provided quick service! Ambiance: The inside of the restaurant is modern and clean. Huge parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza. Indoor seating only. read more

Came here craving something spicy, and this spot definitely delivered. My go-to order is the #4 Beef Hot Soup with medium spice, and I always recommend getting the beef upgrade. It's consistently good every time honestly hard to go wrong with it. The ambience is pretty average, nothing too special, but it gets the job done for a casual meal. Service was solid as well. The staff were friendly and kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good. I went when it wasn't too busy, which made the experience even smoother. Overall, a reliable spot when you're in the mood for something hot and spicy. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I love boiling point and the Taiwanese spicy! It's a large enough pot to split between two people. Boiling point is always so comforting after a long day. Shoutout to Kira for always making sure we're taken care of whenever we come here!!! read more

What kind of hot pot place is out of rice at 8:30pm when you close at 9:30? It wasn't we are currently making more rice and it will take some time - it was "sorry we are out of rice" As an Asian or someone who cooks rice regularly, you know what this means. It Means I'm too lazy to cook another batch of rice which takes 20 min I used to love this place. Look at the ratings. There is definitely a reason why it's going down read more

I love boiling point! I came here quite often and stacked up a lot of reward points but I honestly have not come in so long. I think it's bc I can go to Broth Shabu down the street for roughly the same price and get ayce. Before you come for me, I know that one is Taiwanese and the other is japanese, so I'm aware they're diff cuisines but to me if I'm craving for a good soup/meal, I always consider quality and bang for buck. However, I came on my birthday because they offer a free small pot + drink for guests dining in. All you need to do is show proof with valid ID and it has to be redeemed on your actual birthday. My normal go-to is the #8 Taiwanese spicy! it's a large spicy pot with ramen noodles and lots of protein (beef, pork, and some seafood). But for birthdays, only small pots are included, so I opted for the #4 beef pot. This is a very popular choice, however it was my 1st time having it. Unlike the taiwanese, the beef pot allows you to choose your spice level- I chose mild (I was recovering from a stomach bug, so I wanted to play it safe) The beef pot is very similar to the taiwanese pot imo. It has vermicelli noodles, sliced beef, fish cakes, pork ball, and some seafood. The mild spice had a little kick but nothing too crazy. It also comes with a side of noodles or rice, I just rice. I honestly thought the small size wasn't going to be enough but I ended up not even finishing it and had the rest taken home. For my drink, I was recommended the assam black tea by my server. I very much enjoyed it! There was just the right amount of sweetness to it but you can also customize how sweet you want it too. Overall I really enjoy my meals here, the service is great, and the ambiance is not too loud. I'm so grateful that BP offers this birthday freebie, it's a nice way to treat ourselves on our special day! read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free hot pot & drink on your actual birthday Lunch orders include drink of choice Taiwanese Spicy- I am never ordering this againg! Mala (Hot)! As I've become older, my heat tolerance has slowly dwindled down from what it once was. Pondering between the Taiwanese Spicy & The Hot Green soup, I was told the Taiwanese Spicy cannot be adjusted for heat, but the Hot Green can. Believing I'm muy macho, and hearing from a fellow customer in line that her favorite is the Taiwanese Spicy, I figured I'd go for it. Yikes! My mouth immediately numbed and eating became a challenge. I had the staff add more broth to dilute, and it only slightly became less difficult to consume. The Taiwanese Spicy was good, loaded with protein. After finishing most of the ingredients sans broth & some vegetables, my mouth started find relief from the heat. Deciding upon having a couple spoonfuls of broth for the LOL's, I immediately felt the pain in my nose and starting coughing. Whew! Hokkaido boba milk tea & jasmine green tea- Lunch orderes come w/ drink of choice, and the birthday promo also includes a drink, hence two free drinks. I wish I could've said I savored these drinks, but I finished these right away, to alleviate some of the punishing burn from the broth. Refreshing, though. Service was excellent. Showing the staff my ID to show it was birthday, they were friendly, hospitable & quick with service. Boiling Point, you are locked in as my birthday destination spot for some nourishing hot pot action in the midst of the August heat wave. I wish I knew about BP's birthday promo sooner, as I would've taken advantage of this wonderful deal numerous times, already. read more

What a disappointing experience. I brought my parents (84-year-old mom and 92-year-old dad) to dinner at approximately 4:10 PM. The restaurant was nearly empty -- maybe 3-4 parties total. We were initially told by an employee to sit anywhere, then immediately afterward told we needed to sign in and wait. Confusing, but okay -- we signed in around 4:15 PM. Then we waited...and waited...in a mostly empty restaurant. I politely asked multiple times whether we could place an order. One waitress responded, "Sorry, I just got here," which did nothing to address the situation or explain the process. What became frustrating was watching a party of 10 get seated while several members of their group arrived later. We were told, while pointing to that group, "they were here first." Only 2 of the 8 were present when we arrived. Maybe they technically checked in first -- but from a customer perspective, when a nearly empty restaurant leaves elderly guests waiting without explanation while accommodating a large incomplete party, it feels dismissive and poorly managed. We left, utterly dissapointed. This isn't about getting special treatment. It's about basic hospitality, communication, and situational awareness. Recommendation to management: * Train staff on guest communication and ownership ("I just got here" is not a customer-facing solution). * Establish and consistently explain seating policies. * Empower hosts to use judgment for elderly guests and small parties when capacity clearly exists. * Review camera footage from approximately 4:10-4:45 PM to evaluate queue handling, staff coordination, and whether customer experience matched intended policy. Common courtesy and common sense are part of hospitality. This experience missed both. To Manager Ms. Nguyen, please address this. read more

Boiling Point? More like Lukewarm Point! We should have left when they told us they didn't have fire today and they'll cook the hotpots in the kitchen. The result was lukewarm/cold soup, crunchy noodles, and overall a sad experience. Soup was also overly salty and lacking flavor. Vibes were weird, but at least we still had a good time with friends! read more

Kira is great server. Very attentive, very kind, and always recommends the best options.

Amazing service!!!! Kira was super helpful and kind. She gave us recommendations such as the Taiwanese spicy which was out of this world!

Easy eats hot pot in a strip mall. Was sat immediately for a weekday dinner. Place was clean - your typical boiling point. Took a bit to place an order and we were pretty hungry. Received our food - was pretty good. I drink a bit of water and needed to call the waiter back often for refills. Would come back for an easy soup. read more

My Asian parents love coming here for special events!! I got the # 6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup with a mild spice level. The soup is served with a fire underneath, but you can ask if you want the fire turned off anytime. The soup was not too spicy, and it tasted great! There was plenty of meat and vegetables, and there are vermicelli noodles at the bottom that are easy to forget. I got my soup with a small bowl of rice, and it was the perfect amount to finish the soup. The employees are super kind and very attentive. We tried to put ourselves on the waiting list on the tablet in the front of the restaurant, and an employee noticed my sister and I and sat us right away. The employees and the trainee would constantly refill our waters, check in on us, and ask if we needed anything. They also said goodbye to us when we left. The restaurant is placed in a huge parking lot so there should be no trouble finding parking. The restaurant isn't very big, it's kind of small. However, the restaurant is very clean and bright. If you have family members that hate dark restaurants, bring them here. I would come here again and continue to order the # 6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup. It's just become my go-to order at Boiling Point read more

It's been sooooo long since I've had BP. I always go to Ranch but didn't know this was even here. We went to eat on a Sunday around 7:30pm. No online waitlist so you just write your name and party size on the clipboard. It took us about 20 mins to get seated. Come early to skip the line, or grab boba nearby because it could take a while. There was a new flavor that came out. Talked to the waitress about it, tried it, and didn't like it. It's the green pepper one where it's ma la spicy. I hate that taste. I didn't ask to switch it out or anything, but what helped out was when the staff would come around and refill your broth. That helped dilute it and made it edible for me. Next time I'll order something else. read more

This is of those places that's easy to rely on when you're in the mood for something warm and filling. The individual hot pots come out quickly and stay piping hot, which makes it feel like a complete meal rather than just a quick stop. Flavors are solid across the board, though not especially memorable, and there's enough variety to rotate through options. The space can feel a bit tight when it's busy, but turnover is fast. Overall, consistent and convenient more than anything else. read more

Big portions but some of the choices for meat and toppings aren't great. I wonder if we can replace certain toppings without extra charge. I ordered the noodles to go with the hot pot and a tiny bit of noodles came in a plastic package. The noodles weren't good. I expected some fresh pho noodles or other noodles to put in the hot soup. Next time I'll get rice! read more

My absolute go to restaurant for hot pot! I always go for the beef with a meat lover upgrade, as well as a side of spicy tangy beef. I love that there's a good mix of meat, vegetables, fish cakes, and noodles in the hot pot. Their spice levels are somewhat inconsistent each time you go, so I usually just opt for no spice and just add the chili oil myself. I love that when it's lunch hours, from 11am to 3pm, you can get a free green or black tea with each hot pot order. Otherwise, if I go for dinner, I get an amber oolong milk tea with boba. The milk tea itself is pretty light and creamy, which is perfect when paired with the beef hot pot. Service can be a hit or miss at this location. Lately, I've been going at night around 7 to 8 pm and this last visit took around 30 minutes before we got seated. There were at least 3 to 4 tables open around the 15 to 20 minute mark of waiting, but no server wanted to seat us just yet. I do appreciate that as soon as we got seated that a server asked us if we were ready to order. This time around, the food didn't take as long to come out-- maybe around less than 10 minutes. Sometimes, I personally have to flag down the servers for water refills or to turn off the fire for the hot pot. Other times, servers or trainees are consistently coming around to ask if anything is needed. I do wish that the service was a little more consistent, but coming from experience in the food industry, I understand that it can get busy at times. The ambiance is pretty nice with bright lights and good music. Sometimes, they play R&B, which I love. Overall, I would recommend boiling point to satisfy your hot pot cravings! The food and the drinks never miss! read more

Food was great and service was good. We tried the Thai Style & Beef Broth, delicious!!!

The food was great as always and easily the highlight of the visit. Very rich, comforting, and exactly what you hope for from a spot like this. If I were rating food alone, it'd be a solid five stars. The vibes were mostly good, but toward the end of the meal you could hear somebody changing the songs manually before the song ends and they were playing a bunch of very sad songs, which made the atmosphere feel a little awkward for a dining space. Service could use improvement. There wasn't much of an introduction, no greeting, no check-in about whether it was our first time, no explanation of the sauces on the table, and no questions about allergies. Those small details really matter and would elevate the experience a lot. Lastly, the bathroom was not in great shape and was out of toilet paper. Very unfortunate for the next person that orders the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup. Overall, great food, but service and upkeep keep this from being a five-star experience, for now. read more

I really liked what I got which was the house special. However I got it with veggie broth instead of the beef and it was delicious. It was very comforting on a cold night. They had sauces to help customize your soup. Service was pretty fast and food came out in a timely fashion. This place it pretty tight so it can be a little tough if your in a wheel chair or walker. The other thing that would be nice if they can set up a few chairs or a bench outside since everyone had to wait outside. It would be nice for the elderly as I saw some people waiting in their cars. Overall and felt the wait wasn't too long since service was fast. read more

Boiling Point - #1 House Special Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

You really can't go wrong with BP, they're always busy for a reason. We showed up 15 minutes before opening on Easter Sunday and were already the third party in line. A crowd quickly formed behind us not long after. This was my first time visiting the Artesia location. I went with my usual miso pork (no spice) and upgraded to the gravy rice. Just a heads-up, it's listed as "pig oil rice" in Chinese, which gave us a laugh. It's rich and delicious, but definitely something I wouldn't indulge in too often. It feels like it goes straight to the waistline. I also requested my miso broth without the imitation crab meat. The iced tea included with the lunch sets is pre-made, so your only options are with or without sugar. My bowl had wood ear mushrooms that stayed tough the entire meal, which was a bit off this time. Overall, the four of us had a solid meal and appreciated that we weren't rushed to leave. Great spot to enjoy a comforting bowl of hot soup. read more

Boilingggg Pointttt!! What are you doing to meeee?? They altered the recipe on my #6 again, and replaced ingredients I liked with ingredients I don't care for... sigh... This location of Boiling Point in Artesia was on our way home from some adventures so we decided to stop by. Unfortunately, there was an inefficient 25ish minutes wait before we were seated. I don't mind waiting if the place is sooooo full and they didn't have space for us. But half of the restaurant and they were slowly taking their time and cleaning all the tables... and then setting all the tables up... before they sat us. It would be a better flow for the front of hour staff and kitchen staff if a few groups were let in at a time to prevent bottlenecks. My boyfriend had his usual #4 Beef ($20.45) with vermicelli mild and I had my usual Milk Cream Curry ($19.96) with vermicelli mild. I wish I took the picture before I started eating but we were so hungry we dug in... Not to mention I have soooooo many BP pictures on my phone. Then I noticed baby corn... Mhmmm Bf, you want? Then as I contemplated turning off my fire, I was thinking to myself off are the potatoes cooked yet? For the #6 it used to come with sliced potatoes, and it's kind of hard and raw if you don't leave the fire on for a bit. Guess what?? NO MORE POTATOESSSS! Ughh... and I didn't get the fish cake anymore either. I'm not loving my #6 like I used to... and I'm not sure I like any of the other pots that much either. I think I'll only go back to Boiling Point if the person I'm dining with INSISTSSSSSS, but it's definitely not a pick for me. Especially with no more Old Time Delight Black Tea on their menu either. Sigh. read more

I love this hot pot place! It can get super busy and sometimes there's a long wait, but that's because the food is really good. I always come here whenever I'm craving beef hot pot. Last time I went, it was a bit annoying because there was this loud clanging from the back (like something keeps dropping), but the staff are still nice and helpful when you actually need something. Also, I don't get why when you dine in you get unlimited sauce, but when you do takeout you only get one packet and have to pay extra for more--even though I literally pay the same price. I wish they'd remove that. Overall, still my go-to spot for hot pot. read more

I usually love boiling point when I'm craving some soup so I got some togo yesterday. When picking up the order, we specifically asked them if there's sauce included in our bag, and they confirmed. When we got home, there wasn't any sauce in the bag. It's frustrating that we asked and they pretty much lied. The food was alright, obviously not as good as if you were to eat it fresh inside the store. read more
