    #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.

    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

    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!

    omg the service is really bad. the waiter, i dont know his name, but i was at the restaurant at 12pm on July 28 2026. the waiter is the worst ever. he put the hot pot down like throwing it to my face, very close to me, the soup is almost spill on my body and my 4yo daughter and didn't even say sorry, i was shocked by his rudeness. Boiling point is getting worst and worst.

    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.

    Super duper good! Boiling point never disappoints , service is quick and easy!! It's not too crowded and we were greeted and sat right away

    We came here to celebrate my bf's birthday. They still offer the free birthday hot pot. I got the beef hot pot. Food still delicious. I love the winter melon tea. Service was good. We upgraded the tie with mince pork and extra side of beef. Overall, it's a nice way to celebrate a birthday.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Do you accept reservations?

    They do not accept reservations! They have a tablet in the front of the restaurant that you must check-in on to put yourself on the waiting list.

    Is this location open today (December 26, 2022? I called, but got a machine both times.

    Do u have outside seating? Are let's allowed?

    There's no outdoor seating. And pets are not allowed.

    Haven't been here for a while now. Do we need to make a reservation ahead? Or when we get there, do we just get a number?

    First come first serve, as I don't see a Yelp check in option. I went here on a Thursday around 7pm.. and the wait was about 1hr and 10 mins

    Been calling on 3 different days to place a phone order, but no answer. Are they closed?

    No they just suck at answering their phone

    Why isn't the prices on your website? Or did I just not see it? Is there a reason why?

    Prices are always being raised. Probably less work for them to not put a set price.

    What's time they openon weekend?

    We are open every day 11am-11pm!

    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… 

    Do they have the coupon like the stamp card?

    To my knowledge, no. I want to say they used to, but discontinued it quite a while back.

    Can you substitute the meat broth for veggie or miso broth for all the items?

    Hi Tasneem, You can choose from both beef and veggie broth for any of the hot soups, just let… 

    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!

    Can 2 people share a large pot?

    You technically can but it really wouldnt be enough food for 2 adults in my opinion

    Do they have a vegetarian broth option?

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

    What's their most popular item?

    Beef pot is their most popular one.

I just found it overall a bit aggressive and over seasoned, with not a lot of layers or subtleties in taste, which is usually a sign to me that the cook is substituting salty strong flavors in the place of more depth of flavors. So it's kind of like catering to a lower common denominator and that approach may satisfy many, without anyone really being impressed by the result. But perhaps expecting subtle refined flavors is too high a bar for a chain type of Asian food place - maybe. While I did like the noodles and the sauce, the filet mignon entree portion was something more along the lines of what I'd find/expect at a Panda Express. Which isn't terrible, as I like Panda, but I just expected more with the high rating. The place is clean and modern and seemed newer, but the overall vibe was more impersonal, quick-serve, corporate. If someone wanted to meet and eat here, I'd be fine with it. But I also wouldn't go out of my way to eat here or necessarily suggest it if I were meeting a friend out for lunch.

I started with an Old Fashioned drink, which was solid - strong enough to pack a little punch but still taste good. We ordered a few appetizers - the Korean Beef Frachos were especially good and the Brussel sprouts were very solid. With so many appetizers, I went with a Caesar salad and two soft tacos (shrimp and fish). The Caesar salad was good and healthy sized, so I could share with others. It was a typical, but good, Caesar which didn't have anything fancy about it (no anchovies, egg yolk, etc), but nothing was really lacking either. Both soft/street tacos were good, respectable in size and very tasty. Other people in our party got burgers, goat cheese salad, chicken sandwiches, and everyone seemed very happy with their meals. Service was friendly and casual. Our server was the one who really recommenced the Frachos, which was a great call. I've been to Eurekas before and always been satisfied. I'd probably rate the typical location a 4-star experience, but this one seemed extra friendly and the food I enjoyed more than I expected, so a solid 5 star experience in my book.

Some of us had been to different Eureka! locations in Northern California and suggested to check this one, which was just across the parking lot from BJ's, out. I was glad we did. Not only was there no wait, they had a very chill covered outdoor patio as well. Their indoor area had more of a sports bar feel, which was cool, too. Staff were super friendly; our server told us about their loyalty program, and gave us some great recommendations on food and drinks. We're early enough to order quite a few things off the "Hoppy Hour" menu. I had the Wild Child cocktail, which had a pretty color, and was quite yummy. We shared 3 appetizers: Truffle Cheese Fries, Crispy Glazed Brussel Sprouts, Korean Beef Frachos. All 3 were delicious, and our favorite was the beef frachos, which was like an upgraded nachos, with very flavorful/tender ribeye steak pieces and mildly spicy seasonings with cheese over crispy potato wedges. It's truly the bomb! For my entree, I had the Al Pastor Fish Taco and the Blackened Shrimp Taco. Both were scrumptious, especially the shrimp one. My husband gave me some of his Caesar Salad, which was fresh and quite good. My sister-in-law shared some of her Napa Chicken Sandwich with me; it was delightful. Our daughter had the Goat Cheese Citrus Salad with added chicken and no pecans. She enjoyed it but said the amount of chicken she got wasn't worth the additional charge. Overall, we all enjoyed our food and had a great time. With the happy hour deals, I thought their prices were very reasonable. Would definitely consider coming here again for our next gathering.

The broth was strained well, but had a lot of depth and flavor. The banchans were good, too. I would come back to this place if I'm in the area or if another celebration of life happens. The venue was clean, bright, quaint, and the waitress was SUPER nice. She managed the front of the house by herself on a Saturday morning/afternoon. A lot of locals come here and I'm glad because their food is legit good.
