Milk Green Tea

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.

My go to hot pot spot in Artesia, no contest. Swung by after a friend kept talking about their Individual Hot Pot Personal Hot Pot and now I get why they're obsessed. The House Special Hot Soup is the move - rich, super aromatic, that stinky tofu hits you in the best way, layered savory flavor in every bite. Broth is crazy comforting but still exciting, and they literally give you unlimited broth refills, so you're just sitting there happily cooking and slurping away :) Portion sizes are legit, I never leave feeling shorted. Perfect anytime you're craving hot pot - solo, with a friend, quick casual meal, whatever. Staff is chill, keeps refills coming, doesn't hover. Plentiful, tasty, and consistent... this spot just quietly does everything right.

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Audrey E.

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.

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.

Beef hot pot
Tuyetnhi M.

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.

Meal

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.

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Bryan C.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Lukewarm soup
Jonathan B.

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!

Nearly empty at 4:10pm.

Do u have a private room for 12-15 people?

They do not. The restaurant itself is not very large. Accommodating 12-15 in general might be difficult.

No they just suck at answering their phone

Can you eat by yourself here?

Hi Kris, We welcome parties of all shapes and sizes, so feel free to come enjoy a hot soup by…

Hey maybe this is a stupid questions because I've never been.. but can you take it to go?

Hi Jen, yes we offer to go orders!

They have a vegetable soup with clear broth. That is only option.

It has a super rich, flavorful broth with tender pork and greens that really soak up the soup. Besides that, their dolsot bibimbap is also great. Agu jjim is a bit sweet for me, but the portion is plenty to share with a friend. I haven't been for the lunch special, but even dinner prices are very fair! Cheap in comparison to places that specialize. I'd definitely recommend coming with a group of friends or family that you want to introduce Korean food to. Service is fine. Workers are friendly and everything comes out swiftly. The location is also of note, near many tea/coffee places (ex Sharetea, 8th Symphony) and even the extra fancy new Handel's ice cream! Lots of parking too :)

And what surprised all of us was that second and third orders of the waygu were just as good as the first -- we've seen at other ayce restaurants the first order of the meat is the premium stuff and then they give you lower quality meat later. But not here. The quality was up there each time. The selection of meat was very good and the vegetables were also all fresh and good. They even had 3 options for noodles. The only downside was the service. The staff was friendly and worked hard. But it seemed like there were only 2 guys working so they were behind and we did have to wait a bit for each of our orders.

I think I really liked the pork broth when I first tried this place and thats what really got me. And I also like that you can choose the spicy level for your broth.

Service was good except we got charged extra for fish ball w/ roe and never got it and I realized like 5 hours after :( There's only a few table inside and the main focus is the wrap around bar seating. Pretty common for shabu places. Parking gets tricky if you come on a busy night as there's a LOT of other restaurants in this plaza. Love this place! Always recommend.

There was only one other table besides ours during peak lunch time 12:30 pm on a tuesday. That's the perk of it, but there are other small details I've noticed that are different from other locations, one of them being the thickness of the green onions. I usually love how thinly sliced they are at Mokkoji but this location has them very big, coarsely chopped. Also the toro we got today was very fatty, a plus for those who enjoy fatty meats. I prefer the flat iron more lately bc of how lean yet flavorful it is. I noticed there were multiple tv's on the wall so it's nice to have and watch any games going on if you happen to need to. anyways, ultimately, mokkoji is my fave shabu of all time and this location is closest to home (but still kinda far) when i'm at my bf's i go to the irvine location more ~ Wanted to give a shoutout to the friendly and helpful server Caitlyn who helped me refill my kale multiple times throughout the meal! loved her attitude :)

I looked up the reviews and it seemed like a good option. It's an all you can eat so we decided to go. We came for a late lunch so the parking lot was empty. They have parking right in front and also going behind them so there is more than enough parking even when they are busy. Once we walked in, we got sat almost right away. This is a family friendly restaurant with a casual ambience. They have a QR code to order the meats. For the hot pot, you are asked what type of broth you want and you can have two different ones at the same time. There is a self serve bar area for vegetables and some of the seafood and sauces. Doing the all-you-can-eat menu also includes some of the hot appetizers like gyozas that you can order. I have tried the original and the miso broth and liked them both.

I got the Huo Guo soup base (herbal and spicy Chinese-style broth) while my family members go the Tonkotsu Pork soup bases. I can tolerate spice so it was the perfect amount of flavor for me, but my family thought it was spicy. The self-serve station was well stocked and has a wide variety of seafood, vegetables, and other toppings to accompany the soup. The rice/rice porridge station is located on the right side of the self-serve station. Placing the orders via the QR code on the table was easy and meats arrived without too long of a wait. It was hard to flag down a server when we needed broth refilled and more napkins.
