Visited this establishment on a rainy weekday around 2 pm. It was crowded, we waited a little over 10 minutes for a table. The Thai tomato was very very spicy but Apa was still able to tolerate the heat. The broth was so red compared to my light colored miso. I ordered my miso bowl mild and it still had great flavor and some spice to it. It's a little messy peeling the shrimp that comes with the head m, very tasty nonetheless. I always feel silly when I ask them to turn off the fire very soon after it is served. I just can't eat it to a boiling point. It stayed nice and hot the whole time with the flame off. I like how it comes with a green or black tea. It's a little too sweet for me but maybe it goes well with a spicy soup. I will return. read more

I love boiling point and try to eat here most visits home! My go to order: beef hot pot, mild, with no mushrooms, and a side vermicelli noodles. The broth is very flavorful and I loooove the Napa, tofu skin, and tender strips of beef. I also love dunking the veggies and beef in the side dipping sauces. It's Located in a very popular shopping center so we like to try and come during off times to avoid the lunch rush - parking is less hectic and there's a shorter wait time. Staff is always very busy and they do their best to check in. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Boiling Point is my most visited restaurant. It's a good comfort food and I'm a big fan of noodles and soup. I get the beef and I love how when you dine in you get free soup refills. You have to go during lunch hour as it's cheaper and they give you a free drink! I always take my leftovers home and add whatever ingredients I have in there. It creates two meals for me. *When you do take out they don't give you as much soup and they charge extra for it on the side.* A lot of the bad reviews are for the service and I understand where the frustration comes from but I personally don't mind as long as you know what you're coming in for. read more

Boiling point is getting worst and worst. read more

Stopped by Boiling Point in Artesia for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by how clean this location was--especially compared to some of the locations near DTLA, which tend to be a bit less well-maintained. I had the Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup, and it was a solid choice. The kimchi broth mixed with soybean paste created a nice depth of flavor, and the pork belly was decent. The vegetables worked well enough in the soup, though nothing particularly stood out. While it's not a dish I'd go out of my way for, it's a pretty good option for a quick and comforting meal--especially if you're just catching up with friends. Service can get a little slow, especially as more tables get filled since there doesn't seem to be a lot of waiting staff. Bonus: They offer free green tea or black tea, so don't miss out on that. read more

There are 6 tables open right now 4/2 at 8:13pm and there are 2 people on the wait list and the staff is not seating us. Boiling point can you please explain? I don't understand why and what the point of this is. There is no sense of urgency and I just don't get it. Please retrain staff and seat people if you can! Do you want a line outside to draw in more people? At the expense of paying customers? read more

Boiling Point is always solid. I got the beef and it was great. They give you a bunch of veggies which is really nice. I love how the soup stays hot the whole time. The reason I had to take off two stars is because they skipped over our group and gave the table to a different table of 8. I thought it was very rude to skip us and then they never acknowledged their mistake. They were dismissive and said we will get the next table for 8 which took some time because the restaurant was packed. read more

I came on a Friday night around 7 and it was PACKED. There was a check in paper and I saw there were about 6 parties ahead, but ended up waiting only about 20 minutes before my group got a table!! The staff was super helpful and understanding because my group had a baby and he was super loud(we took turns holding him outside so we don't both everyone in the restaurant). I got the house special soup and the baby loved it and he told everyone how good it was lol!! They were always coming and checking on us while we were there! It was my birthday so I let them know, and because I didn't order a drink they made me one when my group was paying and were super sweet about it!! The person at the front was also our server was super sweet, I just didn't get his name unfortunately because it was so crazy but I love this location over the GG one!!!! read more

I came here on a weekday for dinner and waited close to an hour and a half to be seated. While we were waiting, I overheard other guests asking if there was still rice and so I asked for good measure as well. Once we finally got seated, we placed our orders. We noticed that our broth came out and the rice was delayed. Once we asked the server, they let us know that it was no longer available. This is the type of restaurant that is pretty difficult to eat without rice and so it was a huge disappointment. We ended up just taking our food to-go to eat it at home. The servers were not very accommodating and it seemed like this was a consistent issue at this restaurant. I likely would not return to this location but try another hot pot restaurant. read more

Been coming here for over a decade now and still love the food. It's been consistent over the years and it's nice to just have that spot you can go to where you're confident you'll enjoy it every time. Their music is alwaaaaaaays on point, i feel like I need their playlist every time I come the only drawback is service, can be pretty slow/negligent but honestly just be proactive in getting their attention-- the food and music will carry your experience read more

Went last night for late night hot pot. Got seated quickly, considering it was 8PM on a Sunday. Ambiance was good, music playing at adequate level. Food is always consistent, service was good. Just missed a few things my party requested which was a seafood allergy. Seafood, that was requested to not be included, remnants were found in the pot. read more

I've been to this location a few times already, hoping to give them good and fair chances, but unfortunately I cannot. The many times I've dined here with friends, we felt like we're not being served properly. Yes, we received our food which is indeed delicious, but we were never check on if we wanted to refill our soup base, turn off the flame, etc. Our last visit here, we only saw a trainee walking and serving customers on his own, and a girl coming by to refill our water glasses. While the rest of the crew were just at the register area, looking like they were chatting among each other. A friend of mine pointed out a guy in a black shirt, wearing a silver chain, and not an apron, dancing in place behind another guy at the register. He looked at him when he tried to raise his hand for the bill. The man instead looked away and continued dancing in place, then looking at his colleague at the register, and laughing. If he was an employee there or if he was the one in charge since he was the only one not in uniform, then it seemed very unprofessional and we felt it was very rude and like he just dismissed us like he did not want to do any work, or could have at least told one of his colleagues that there was a customer requesting help. I want to point out that the trainee, despite him walking around the dining area on his own, amd it wad very busy that day, he did do his best to serve us and we appreciate all the help he had done for us and the customers around our seating area. Not exactly sure if we'll come back to this location after our few not very good visits, but if we do, we hope there is an improvement in the service part of the restaurant read more

I was disappointed with my order today. They forgot to include my rice, and the Boiling Point soup container wasn't closed properly, so it spilled inside the bag. Please make sure orders are checked carefully and containers are sealed securely before giving them to customers. read more

Boiling point's Taiwanese hot pot is one of my favorite versions of hot pot. Your broth of choice is served in your own personal wok with everything included as a complete dish. They have their own sauces on the table, which is great with all of the ingredients that you fish out of your "wok in a box". Unlike traditional shabu shabu, where you cook your meat in a bland broth, the flavors in this taiwanese hot pot are concentrated. There are a variety of options that they have here. I tend to like to go with their "beef" flavor, which has beef in spicy broth amongst seafood, tofu, and veggies. While my wife likes to go with "miso", she went today with "milk cream curry" and she really enjoyed that on this cold night. I appreciate that the flavors of each broth are very unique. While my beef broth was beefy and spicy (as I chose it as "medium spicy"), my wife's milk cream curry flavor reminded me of a Malay-type curry flavor. Waits can be pretty long at prime dinner time- we waited about 45-55 minutes before we were seated. Service isn't very attentive and it's the primary reason that the yelp average is around 3.5 stars. I do think, however, the food is easily at least four stars and it's perfect for a cold winter night. read more

We like spicy food. The challenge is always convincing the server that we want extra spicy. The standard answer we usually get is "you can use the chili oil on the table. It's the same." Unfortunately, it is not the same. Vincent, who took our order, not only didn't fight with us, he also delivered! Our food came out as we like it. That's called excellent customer service . Vincent! Vincent! Vincent! His name is worth mentioning over and over again. Another person I would like to recognize is Andre. He had been really helpful and courteous. Overall, we had a very pleasant visit, which is not always the case. Thank you Vincent and Andre!w read more

I love Boiling Point, it's the perfect size and comfort food for when I'm craving for something warm, easy to order and have a balance of protein, veggies and carbs. There's a few favorites but during my visit here, I wanted to try a new pot and I decided to go with the Miso pot. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I also tried some of the appetizers, which I normally don't get but I was looking at the menu and my friend mentioned she really liked the garlic pork belly which we ordered and indeed it lived up to my expectations! I love how strong the garlic flavor and taste was, I'm definitely looking forward to trying other menu items during my next visit to a BP location. I found the Artesia's location to be quite cozy and spacious, I like the details to the interior! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience here. The restaurant was offering a lunch special promotion that included a drink after 3 PM. I went inside and started ordering at 2:58 PM. The waitress took our order, then went to check the time. When he came back, he told us that the promotion had already passed. I found this frustrating because I had started my order at 2:58 PM, before the promotion cutoff. It also seemed like the staff checked whether there were any premade drinks left before telling us the promotion had passed. I didn't argue and just continued with my meal. Then, near the end of our meal, an employee named Joy brought us the receipt. I asked for the lemonade with chia seeds that they normally provide at the end of the meal. She told me they were out and there was no more. However, shortly afterward, I saw another employee bring out a whole tray of the same drinks from the kitchen. That made me feel like the staff simply didn't want to provide what we were asking for and used "we're out" as an easy answer. If the item is available, customers should be given an honest answer and proper service. The food may be okay, but the customer service and communication really disappointed me. I hope management pays more attention to how customers are treated and makes sure employees follow the promotions and provide the items that are supposed to be included. read more

Food was good , just the amount of meat they give you seems a bit more less. My main complaint was the customer service , 1. no one greeted you or gave you a proper introduction 2. All the employees looked mad and irritated, they made us felt unwelcome based on the vibes. 3. We request our check from another server and she simply ignored us. Our server never came back and check up on us. Boiling point has a lot of potential in doing better in business, the employees just need more motivation and training. read more

Still scarred from our recent visit. A trainee took an order for me and my daughter, then despite multiple inquiries it was still like a half hour and we hadn't gotten anything, except two measly bowls of rice to tide ourselves over. Then another staffer told us someone made a mistake and the order had never actually been put in! Pathetic. Place seems like it's run by a bunch of kids. We lost faith any food would ever come so we left and went to Egg Tuck in the same plaza. Sad! read more

I can never get tired eating delicious hot pot. Came in between 2-3pm, got seated right away. No matter how hot the weather is, it's still nice to eat hotpot here because the Ac will cool you down. read more

Went here for the first time and it was pretty good! The staff were really kind and they brought out the food really fast. We had to wait 20-30 minutes around dinner time, which wasn't too bad. Not the best hot pot I have had, but still a decent spot to try if you're looking to satisfy that craving. read more

TL;DR - awesome, filling hot pot spot for a rainy day also i just want to say how good their milk teas w boba (so soft & warm & chewy) are like OMG better than a lot of boba places, definitely try it out pretty solid, the spice levels are definitely accurate & i don't really have any notes - my go-to is the beef hot pot, the vermicelli is super good! - it can get pretty busy, so the staff doesn't check up super often, just be sure to let them know to extinguish your fire to avoid melting your noodles, etc. - super duper busy during lunch, so it can feel pretty humid & crowded with the steam, not a lot of comfy seating space read more

Surprised to find the place packed on a Wednesday night at 7:30pm. We put our name down on their waiting system and waited about 20 minutes. We came back and we were supposedly "next" but they sat a couple that came after us down first. It looks like there's an issue with their waiting system so it's not the best option if you're in a time crunch. I've been coming to Boiling Point for years and their portions have become significantly smaller and smaller while getting more expensive every year. The taste is still solid but I'm not sure if it's worth returning after the most recent experience. read more

Decent hot pot and fair portions. The service felt pretty inattentive, and we had to flag someone down more than once. Not a bad place, but the overall experience was just average. read more

One of my first times getting a to-go order from this location and it did not disappoint. You can order online which makes it nice and convenient if you don't feel like sitting down when it's packed (which it does get on weekends for dinner). Although there was an odd computer glitch delaying my order a bit, at least I was able to pick it up super fresh. Even after a 20 minute drive home, it was still hot and really fresh when I got home and didn't require me to reheat it or anything. I ordered the Beef hot pot which is one of their most popular choices. We had ordered a total of 4 soups for the family and a side of lamb which was all packaged pretty well; each individual soup had a little cardboard square under the bowl to give it structure and stopped the bowls from toppling over on the drive back. It also worked well to prevent a mess when we ate it at home. Comes with a cute little utensil set on the side although the spoon is pretty tiny, but still convenient; they even throw in little Konjac jelly packets to-go which sort of replaces the little chia seed shots they normally give you when dining in which is a nice touch. Although not as good as dining in, onsidering the order was to-go it still tasted great and hit the Boiling Point cravings! read more

I love hot pot so that's one thing. The first time I went to this location they had great service and always asked us if we needed anything. The second time I went it was in the afternoon and the service was HORRIBLE. The workers were on their phones and all the customers kept having to get up to ask for stuff. Also they were on their phones when there was a customer standing in front of them at the register. So disrespectful. I only gave it three stars because the food was good and the service the first time was great. The inside of the restaurant was completely empty the second time we went, and yet the servers were not great. There were many booths for us to sit the second time and it was very clean. Yet, they could not serve us. read more

Lunch in SoCal - Haven't been to a boiling point in a while. The taste was still how I remembered it, although the lamb was a bit too tough. The service was okay. What we didn't appreciate was the long wait without an estimated wait time. The Yelp waitlist would be useful in this situation. So many people were just standing outside as the area didn't really have much that we could walk around for. Well I bought some lottery tickets and scratch cards next door lol. The food was good but not sure if we would come back to this location. It might not be worth the wait. read more

Great place to have lunch. I came here just before it got busy. If you want to beat the lunch rush, come here before noon. GUARANTEE FASTER SERVICE AND NO WAIT. I ordered the number 1 House Special with medium spice. If you are new to the place or are undecided about what to order, I recommend the House Special. It comes with a little of everything and a good portion of meat, tofu, and vegetables. The flavor is just right, but it tastes much better with the dipping sauce provided on the table. The food is a little pricey but it's worth it. You will be satisfied. The restaurant is a good spot to bring a date or just hang out with friends and enjoy good food. It was pretty clean when I came for lunch. read more

My first time at this location since I've moved to the area. It's located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. The wait was pretty long when I went since it was just about peak dinner time on a Sunday. Thankfully they have one of those Yelp tablets to put your name down and you'll receive a text message when your table is almost ready, so my husband and I were able to walk around to see the other businesses in the plaza. We both ordered the beef, mild spicy. We asked for rice but they ran out and were still making some so we got the vermicelli noodles instead. About halfway through our meal we saw some other customers (ones who were sat before us and ones who came after us) who got some rice so we asked an employee if we could also get rice now that it was ready. (*We were also happy that we weren't charged for the rice since we had both the rice and noodles) The food was good, but for some reason the mild was more spicy than expected. I always get the mild beef at BP but in another location and this location was a bit more spicy. Some parts of service could be better. We had to ask for water refills, napkins and things several times. The only time we didn't have to ask for something was when an employee with a pot would make non-stop rounds asking if customers wanted some extra broth/water to add to their pot. Despite having to flag down someone often, the workers are friendly. read more

Great service and delicious food! Meng was especially helpful and attentive. Really appreciated the experience. Will be back!

Always love going to this place, the soup is much more flavorful than other BP locations. I always get the beef but less Napa cabbage since they put a lot in the bowl! Always try to go early than peak time and for lunch & you'll get a free drink! (11 AM -3PM). Service is always nice! read more

I have been coming to this place for years and recently, the service is not as great as it was. They are consistent with their food but not with their service. I ordered to go a many times and most of those times, there is always something that's missing (one incident there were no utensils, another incident they forgot to include condiments and worst was when they forgot our rice/noodles side). Once is alright but missing stuff more than once is not good. I hope they train their servers well. read more

Feeling great to be back at Boiling Point! I've been a fan of Boiling Point since my high school days, and it has always been my go-to comfort food. Back in college, my friends and I would often go to BP locations after exams. It was exactly what we needed to unwind. Recently, I stopped by the Artesia location, and I have to say, the flavors are just as amazing as I remember! I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot, and it was absolutely delicious. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with the perfect level of spice. I also noticed they've updated their menu with more meat options, which was a pleasant surprise. My order was satisfying from start to finish, and I can't wait to come back soon to try more hot pots! The service here was excellent! Our server took our orders quickly, and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating available. Despite visiting on a Sunday afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait which is a big plus! If you're craving a comforting, hearty, and flavorful meal, Boiling Point never disappoints! read more

I went there on a hot summer day ~82° outside, which was perfect because I hate crowded places. I came to this boiling point since it was right next to my apartment and wanted to give it a shot. I walked in and there were only 5 tables and 4 workers (1 girl/3 guys) at the register. Mind you, I walked in - and everyone that works there saw me and NO ONE acknowledged me. I worked at many restaurants in my life including ones that had been shut down and that is the #1 thing they tell you to do. (Benihana, Sakura Ichi, Boiling Crab & Crawfish, the Bucket crab & crawfish, Sake 2 Me Cerritos, and Wonton Forest. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR CUSTOMERS. I had a few questions I wanted to ask because I already looked at the menu prior to entering the restaurant. So, I just stared at everyone and still, nothing. They acted as if I was invisible to the point that I walked up to the guy (wears glasses) at the register AFTER he blatantly ignored me waving my hand at him. I was walking up to him to talk to him hands length and he STILL turned away from me to walk to the register, whereas I angrily said "IS this place self serve?" He said no, "you look at the menu and we go ask for your order". I've been to Boiling Points at all types of locations AND my cousin used to work at the one in Rowland Heights Life Plaza and I will tell you I have never felt this dismissed entering a restaurant before. If you're looking to be blatantly ignored and dismissed for mediocre food, try it out. If not, try Red Flame down the street. They are only a few streets away. read more

Tried the beef bowl. Never had something so distasteful in my life. It taste like the burnt scraps you'd find stuck on the edges of an old oily frying pan. There wasn't much flavor besides old oil, texture seemed almost like biting into clumped sand with small crystals breaking apart. I gave it a good few bites for the benefit of doubt before I just set it aside and gave up. For reference here are some photos of what they advertise on the poster versus what you get. PLEASE do not get this. Hot pot is fine though. read more

I love the food this place is my go to for hot soup the flavor is amazing. We have been coming here for years. Today 6/11 around 1:30pm was quite a different experiance. Me and my fiance can not eat pork for religious reasons. We told the waiter no pork on both lamb dishes it has pork blood. We emphasized its about 3x kindly. My fiance still got pork blood in his soup to which they replaced it and apoligied and we kindly said thank you it was no problem. However the staff behind the counter started making rude remarks. A female waitress came to the table and i asked if i could get more brothe please. To which she said yes. She never came back and stayed behind the counter we made eye contact with another waiter to which we over heard the word "ignore". They made us uncomfortable and it wasnt very professional the ambiance for us was killed after that. I would say they could improve on the service our actual waiter however was very kind. Very unprofessional and it almost discriminating they didnt need to behave negativly like that. A easy mistake a easy fix no big deal and we didnt give any attitude being trated like that was unnecessary. read more
