First time here and let me tell you, it was well worth it!!!Got greeted by Ha the manager and we let her know it was our first time and she took care of us like family. We got the beef & house pots both were sooooo good!!! Hokkaido is there most popular drink and I can see why... Oh so yummy!!! Definitely coming back for the food and the service. read more

First timer here! I ordered a milk green tea and the beef, medium hot pot, which had just the perfect amount of spice to it. I liked the mixture of the food, although I didn't even know what I was eating half the time lol. A big plus is that there was so much food in my pot that I had to bring the rest home. Can't forget to mention that I got to try quail and fish eggs for the very first time! The after rinse was so good too! Can anyone tell me what that was? The only reason I knocked off a star is because I wasn't a fan of only 1 unisex restroom.. I had to get up 3 times from my seat to check if it was finally vacant. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Boiling point is honestly my favorite place to come and have soup with some friends. There is always a long wait , but it's worth the wait. All the staff there are super nice and knowledgeable of what they recommend you to try. You can never go wrong with a guava tea . read more

This location is way way better than the Garden Grove location. The restaurant itself is more open, there's more four top tables, and the service is was quicker. It was 7pm dinner on a Saturday and when the GG location was already at a minimum 30 minute wait, this location had about 5 min wait. Definitely would recommend making the further drive to save you wait time and for faster service. The workers here are very efficient and they frequently stop by to ask if you need anything. In regards to the hotpot, it's still the same delicious hotpot as always. I always order the Beef Pot with vermicelli, medium spice and its just the right amount of spice level and portion size. Note: Don't forget to ask for a stamp card for your hotpot/drinks!! read more

Service was good took only 7 minutes to seat us, the food though was not good taste was salty I literally was missing some foods that was said to be in the plate just wasn't good for a first time experience . read more

I think they have great service for the most part! The wait is always crazy, but everything is great! Go ahead of time because by the time you are done waiting, you will be starving. The waitress and waiters are always very helpful! It might be a little hard to hunt them down though! They are always running around. There are different combos of hot pots! I have tried about three kinds now! The house special, beef, seafood and tofu are all great! It comes with noodles or rice! The hokkaido milk tea is very yummy! Also, it comes with a complimentary basil seed dessert drink at the end of your meal! It is extremely refreshing. read more

The service and quality of food was awesome! We love our hotpot and being from Az, this is such a treat! I enjoyed the lamb hotpot and my boyfriend loved the beef hotpot. The teas come with the order (the green tea is tasty!). They also serve milk tea which we thought tasted kinda different but really good! The wait time may take awhile since this place seems really popular. Other than that, wish this was close to home! read more

Boiling Point - So good - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

I love this place! Previously my hot pot experience had been confined to hot potting at friends' houses and Haidilao. You get a good variety of different things in your pot depending on what you order. I have gotten the spicy Taiwanese pot the last two times I've been here and the broth is amazing if you are as into spicy foods as I am. During lunch it can be a bit busy but no matter how busy it's been, the wait usually isn't terribly long. Service is great, the servers are really attentive if you need to have your flame turned down. read more

Came here for a Galentine's Day dinner! My two friends and I came at about 5PM, and we each ordered the Beef Hot Pot which consists of napa, vermicelli, sliced angus beef, enoki mushroom, tomato, firm tofu, tempura, corn, meat ball, fish cake, fried tofu skin, imitation crab stick, green onion, and cilantro. Although there's vermicelli already inside the pots, we each decided to get the extra vermicelli as well. I heard that the mild was relatively spicy, so I opted for the Medium instead of the Very Spicy. While I do think the medium was pretty spicy, if you love spice like me, I think you would better off the higher levels of spice. The hot pot was delicious and filling, and I found it to be relatively healthy as well with the large amount of vegetables! I also ordered the Hokkaido milk tea half sweetened with boba, and the boba here was a lot smaller than I've had at other places. Nevertheless, the drink was delicious! Note: if I could do it again, I would probably order the drink after eating the hot pot. Drinking the milk tea and eating at the same time was just too much for me. Service was really great and attentive. The waiters came around to refill our water and hot pots quite often. A little tip: if your bowl is tilted, you can kind of hit the bowl on the side to make it more level. A waitress had to help me figure that one out because my soup was spilling into my fire LOL. Overall, would recommend and I'm going to try the milk cream curry hot pot next time! read more

Boiling Point - Beef Hotpot, Medium Spice, with vermicelli + Hokkaido milk tea half sweet with boba - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

There are a lot of choices, and I had Korean Bean Paste ( flaming). The servers are really friendly and nice, but it took me a very long time to waiting for my dinner. A hour for waiting and plus over 15' minutes later, I just had my meal... So anyway, I think that was worth, and I enjoyed a great meal with my friend. read more

Boiling Point - Korean Bean Paste. - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

To be honest, I'm still a hot pot newbie myself but I've been to enough hot pot places to know what I do and don't like. From all of this, I think I prefer the AYCE hot pot style. That way you can control the amount you eat and basically every aspect of the meal. I've heard so much hype about this restaurant ever since I was in high school. Back then, this location didn't exist. Classmates would legit drive allll the way to Rowland Heights to go to this restaurant, so my whole life I've always been wondering, is it really that good?? One Saturday night, me and 4 other friends arrived at around 7PM and waited for a good hour... We were starving at this point and there was such a long wait/line outside. If I had known that the line got that long, I would've chosen somewhere else to eat. The seating inside isn't that big. When they finally called out our number, we already knew what we wanted to eat. We each ordered right away. How it works is you choose your bowl that you want, a complementary side (rice or vermicelli noodles), and the level of spiciness. The food came out rather quickly so that was nice. Pro tip: do NOT order the noodles. It's way less in quantity and will not fill you up. Some bowls come with noodles already, but this was what I thought. I also found it strange that this place didn't have real cups for water... Like what. This isn't a college party, it's a restaurant. You can also request to have your pots turned off so it doesn't overcook/bubble over as you eat. Did this place live up to the hype? Absolutely not. I'd rather shell out a few more dollars and do AYCE. read more

I really like this branch compared to the others I've been to in SGV. It is a lot more spacious and well decorated and a lot less crowded. I went at 5pm on Thursday and it was empty. Things only became busy at 6pm. The employees were friendly and helpful, one even letting me know about coupons I can find in their magazine. They speak fluent English as well, which is a huge plus since I've been to locations where they don't and avoid you like the plague. I got my lamb pot and my husband got beef. Both were good. I like spicy and medium was just enough to enjoy the flavor without your tongue starting to burn but if you can't handle spice, medium might be too much to handle. Hokkaido milk tea will help you tolerate the spice and tastes sooooo good. I was worried it'd be too sweet since I'm not a sweets person but I got it with regular sugar and had no problem with the sugar level. Or you can be like my husband and ask for your broth to be replaced, which they do for free. They give you complimentary basil seed lemonade shots for dessert and they are the latest health trend in Korea. My only sadness is that there is no longer pork blood cake/sausage available. Instead it was replaced with a cute fish cake that says "I love BP" and a wasabi rice cake. The wasabi was more of a yellow custard that tasted like wasabi without any of the spicy which was interesting but not to my taste. I feel like they might have cut a little down on the meat portion size but I'm not sure. read more

Boiling Point - Lamb hot pot. Sadly no longer with the blood sausage/cake. - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Had a random BP craving so we stopped in for dinner and was pretty disappointed with the food, boba, and the service. We ordered the lamb and tonkatsu miso along with the tangy beef appetizer and a fresh milk tea with boba. The milk tea was watery and the boba was stuck together at the bottom, we couldn't really get any to come up with the straw. The beef app was okay and the hot pots seemed to be more cabbage than usual. The tonkatsu pork was the best but there were only a few pieces. As for the service, we had to ask for everything including sauce, dishes, water, napkins, and they did not light my hot pot when they brought it out so we had to ask for that as well. Overall not the best BP experience. read more

Ordered the seafood and while I was eating there was PAPER found in my soup. And no it was not small. It literally was the size of my palm. Disgusting! read more

#7 Tomato Veggie NEVER FAILS esp on a rainy day in SoCal!! My family loves having dinner at Boiling point in the Bay Area so it's great that they have multiple locations throughout CA.

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

I'm addicted to the beef hot pot. I order this at least once a month without fail. I love it .

i wonder if you have to disclose of being deathly allergic to something in order for them to follow a ingredient change in your order

Boiling Point is so good! I've been to many of their locations and their recipe remains the same for their beef hot soup. However, their spice levels are inconsistent, but don't get me wrong, it is still very tasty. I normally get their medium spicy beef hot soup, which consists of vermicelli, sliced angus beef, enoki, tofu, corn, imitation crab, fried tofu skins, and more. They also give you the choice of more vermicelli or rice on the side, one time only, free of cost. If you want any add ons, there is a list of them with prices on the menu. Service at this location was pretty good, they were pretty attentive for the most part. Overall, I will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm a die hard boiling point fan. I can literally eat this everyday if I could. Most of the places I've been to are usually really crowded and hectic and their customer service isn't the best. I tend to wait about 20 mins to half an hour for my food after ordering, but this place was fantastic with the service. Me and my friends came in around 12:30 for lunch and got seated right away. Our waiter was really on top of her game--- took our orders, got our food out within 15 mins, kept checking up on us and kept asking us if we needed more soup. Will be back again if I'm ever in the area! read more

I didn't used to be a huge fan of this place but it's grown on me over the past few months! There's almost always a wait but it does go quickly for the most part! I think their iPad/ticket wait list system is pretty efficient, it even texts you updated to your phone so you can sit in your car if you like. Their lunch special is a really good deal. The pot is cheaper than dinner time AND it includes a free iced green or black tea. Their drinks are pretty good here, personally think it's better than Its Boba Time which is in the same lot. They have quite a few hotpot options which can be made as spicy as you want (with some exceptions). We like the Taiwanese spicy pot (comes I. Flaming spicy only) and as of recently the Korean bean paste one. Comes with a good amount of toppings and we usually add quail eggs and tofu skin and an extra order of noodles. For us, this is plenty to share. I can't finish my own no matter how hungry I am. The one issue I do have with this place is consistency. The pot is almost always missing a topping it supposedly comes with. My Korean bean paste was missing the bean sprouts and the description said it comes with wok noodle, the picture on the menu shows it with ramen, and instead of either of those it came with vermicelli?? They gotta either change the menu or management needs to be checking in with kitchen staff to ensure food items are consistent and come with what they need to come with. The service from everyone is really good, but the service from Ralph is always exceptional and friendly! read more

This was my first time trying it and it was actually pretty good, the service was great ! My server with the sleeve tattoo was amazing !! She helped me out on choosing something from the menu because I didn't know what would be good. Would definitely come here again. read more

Tip: DO NOT wait in your car and rely on a text to be sent to your phone. They will CANCEL your number in line. When I asked one of the servers why our number got canceled, all she could say was "I wasn't the host." No apologies. I explained that we were supposed to receive a text and I wasn't aware that the "host" was calling out numbers. Again, she said "I don't know, I wasn't the host." read more

I love this BP! Before the virus this was my go to hot pot spot, it's not the same now that we can't dine in but I always make it a point to come in and get my favorite: their Hokkaido milk tea!!! I've had it at a million tea places and none make it like BP. I came in today for my usual and (I think she's the manager?!) recognized me and asked if I wanted my Hokkaido, so sweet! She made my day even further by giving me another one on the house, it's acts of kindness like these that seriously warm my heart! Especially in times like this, where going out is so limited and all my days sometimes consist of is going out to grab food. Thank you so much for your kindness. I can't wait to come back and dine in normally, you guys are great! read more

YUM. If you love hot pot then this is definitely a hot spot (haha...) Definition of hot pot: So for those who don't know what hot pot is. It's basically meats and veggies put together in a pot with some sort of hot soup broth and it'll be all cooked under a small portable stove. Menu: Here they have different choices. Veggie, seafood and many different meat options. They bring it in a metal bowl and it sits on a stove and once it's set down, one of the workers will have a lighter to put on the flame. PROS: if you come during lunch it's your choice of hot pot, rice or noodles, and a complimentary drink. You can choose between green or black tea. Dinner you do not have that option. CONS: location is small so bringing a big group is not ideal. Also parking is terrible when it's busy. Hah. Location (3/5): it is in Artesia in a busy shopping plaza because of 99 ranch, daiso and a seafood restaurant next door. This was my first time coming to this location and the wait time wasn't too bad only because I was with two others. Also many times it can be a longer wait time with a large group, depending on the day and time as well. Interior (4/5): the place is not big at all. It's pretty tiny. However I love the setting and the decor! Service (5/5): The workers here are SUPER friendly and very nice. They are attentive and even almost too quick. We sat down and not even a minute later a waiter came and asked if we were ready to order, hah. read more

I had korean bean paste and it was super good. All of my friends got beef though (popular IG), so next time I try, I'll beef

So this place gained a huge following among my friends regarding the amazing Hot Pot style serving with pleasing visuals. I would agree with the way it looks, an easy to the eye, retro-classy style of Asian food with self-boiling gel pots keeping your food hot. To start, the wait is around 35-60 minutes for each customer, my party of two waiting around 50 minutes. I was watching the time for other couples and large parties and most were waiting towards the later end of that time. Luckily there's tons of food places so as soon as you check in via tablet you can go to grab some boba down the block. The system allows you to check in electronically and will send you a response text when your table is "closer". About 47 minutes later in one of the local tea shops I received a text saying "Check with your server because your table is going to be called soon". Walking back to Boiling Point, our server waited 30 seconds to switch over to the next two tables. Luckily they were very kind to accept us immediately, being showed to a small block table barely holding by a black metal stand directly in the middle of the dining room. Looking around the restaurant, it's very closed together, keeping the staff busy and fitting as much table space as possible with the booths and large party tables to the wall. I was not in love with the table itself though, especially since we were eating with our hands craning down to our high plate. You'll feel slightly rushed with the barrage of kind servers asking if your ready to order, than proceeding to drop you after serving the meal. The food itself was alright, staying consistently hot which is good however if you are extremely hungry you will not be able to dig in. I ordered the Miso Pot with tons of udon, fish, and tofu but nothing else. I would not suggest it, even spicing it up with the varieties of paste and sauces beside the table. I personally do not think it's worth the $17 minus any add ons and would try one of the lesser items. Overall okay experience, maybe it was tainted from the table however I would try this place once more and that's it. read more

Been coming here religiously but never coming to this location again. They have worst service ever in all the boillibg points in OC area. The policies change every time we go. This time manager Made me and three of my friends wait over 30mins only to find out that we cant sit when our number was called because one of our friend was parking and all four of us wasn't in the restaurant. When we went last week, it was a different manager and I guess their policy didn't apply to that one. We got seated right away even when one of our party wasn't present. Confusing customers with your policy isn't right! Never going ever again. read more

I love how short the wait is at this location! We were seated after 15 or so minutes, which is definitely faster than the Irvine location. The interior is clean and minimalistic and the waiters were very friendly! I ordered the beef hotpot extra spicy and it was delicious (and this is coming from someone who normally prefers not to eat hotpot). The meat was tender and the broth was rich in flavor. Definitely a great Taiwanese dining experience and I would not hesitate to come back for more. read more

Boiling Point - Beef hotpot - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Probably the best Boiling Point that I've been to, though with one caveat. I've been to many Boiling Points (BP) and objectively this one takes the cake in terms of substantive food. While the taste at each BP is fairly consistent and you know the ingredients + MSG that you're getting with each order, the amount of actual food that you get here is astounding compared to at some of the other locations like Irvine and Rowland. (I was actually full leaving here, which usually never happens.) I'm not just talking about vegetables either, this place literally served maybe 1.5x-1.75x the amount of meat of the other locations for the same dish. The pitfall of this place, however, lies in the service. Boiling Points generally have poor reputations for service, which is somewhat understandable (though not justifiable) by their popularity. People will keep coming back because people love hot pot (or whatever you want to call Boiling Point). At this location, however, I had the pleasure of meeting the gaze of a server, with my hand raised, and him walking off to go talk to another server. Twice (though with a different server the second time). Nonetheless, the relative strength of the food (in terms of quality + quantity) outweighs the shortcomings in the service, at least in my book. Would recommend this BP over any others, if given the option and all are equidistant. read more

I have been visiting boiling point almost every week or every other week, I like the food here, but customer service here? I don't know what to say, most of them are very nice, but this one guy (BOBBY) that was helping us was not only arrogant, he was extremely rude and was being very unprofessional. If you have a problem with customers "breaking the restaurant rules," please inform us NICELY, without the attitude, and we won't have a problem. This not the first time. It's also not the first time I've heard complaint (from a lot of people who also love eating there) about him giving customers attitude. Also, bringing the soup with one hand, and dropping it on the table, and then just walk away arrogantly, is surely not a way to please any customers (there's more reasons than this). If you're having a bad day, take a day off. Don't come to work pissed, and take it out on people. It upsets me when I go in to eat, in a good mood, only to be dampen by a worker who lacks respect. Don't expect me to not be rude back and give u the respect you're seeking for when you did nothing to deserve it in the first place. I'm honestly questioning how he got hired. I also wonder what kind of answers he gave to the interviewers when they asked him about how he would handle a situation with an angry customer. Good luck to future customers that'll have to deal with this guy. And to corporate, good luck with this guy working for you. read more

Been a fan of this restaurant for a long time.The services and the foods were really good before. Now, the service is super bad. We order 2 drinks to go and it take them 20 mins and when we ask they said they making the drinks now. Another issue, There are a bunch of empty tables but they don't call people in. Their customer services now became really bad. Hope they can fix this. read more

I frequent this location probably twice a month, and have always had a good experience. The service is attentive and friendly, the wait times aren't that bad (the workers hustle to clean tables quickly), and the food is consistently good. I'm not sure how it is on the weekends, but on weekdays rush hour normally starts around 12:00-1:30 so if you don't want to wait I'd come before or after the lunch rush. I'm allergic to peanuts so I appreciate that they can remove the "peanut sauce" that's in the beef hot pot and some of their other hot pots. read more

It was packed, but we were lucky enough to have waited around 30 minutes to be seated. Second time at Boiling Point and got the Taiwanese Spicy Soup. It's not spicy as you would think (but I like and can handle spice). The waiter was so sweet. He answered all our questions and even offered what was popular. Other waiters came around and refilled our drinks and asked how we were doing. It's not like some places where waiters don't care about any other tables except their tables. Recommend coming here. The location is good too. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Went on a Saturday night around 8:30 PM and it was packed. Waited about 25 minutes to get seated. Lunch: $11.99, Dinner: $12.99 For #8,9,10 lunch: $15.99, dinner: $16.99 1. #8 Taiwanese spicy hot soup: comes with cabbage, instant noodle, sliced angus beef, tempura, enaki mushroom, clam, Fuzhou clam ball, cuttlefish ring, pork intestine, pork blood rice cake, fried tofu skin, maitake mushroom, frozen tofu, green onion, and cilantro. It's pretty spicy!!! The only kind they serve is the most spicy (flaming spicy) with $8. It's pretty spicy. I didn't realize what the ingredients were until I jotted these down, but it didn't taste like what the ingredients say. 2. #4 beef hot soup: comes with napa, vermicelli, slice angus beef, enaki mushroom, tomato, firm tofu, tempura, corn meat ball (pork), kamaboko, fried tofu skin, imitation crab stick, green onion, and cilantro. This is my go to when I come here. I got the medium spicy and it wasn't as spicy as I wanted it! So next time I'm going to get very spicy! read more

Came here a few nights ago and it is always good! The wait took almost an hour for a party of three. But then again, boiling point js very popular and seems like it is always busy. But def worth the wait! Our server, Lavonne, also made the experience great! She was so nice and helpful, constantly checking in on us too. I had ordered their beef hot pot. I can't stand spicy food, so I just got the non spicy lol. So their hot pots usually consist of various vegetables and protein! They also have noodles as well, but you can either get more noodles or rice on the side. They also have extras for a decent price and add-ons too. When you get the pot, they light it up to keep it hot, but you can ask the servers to put it up whenever you want. Sometimes it gets waaaay too hot and I've burnt my tongue lol. Their drinks are really good! I ordered the gauva green tee with basil seeds. Never disappoints! read more

I'll just have to pass on this one. Second time here and it was not worth the wait or the taste! Enough salt to burn my tongue and lips. Just wasn't the most pleasurable experience when you're enjoying the coke more as it washes away the saltiness of the broth. read more

5 Star review, but why? I frequently have supported this restaurant, from Arcadia to the Pasadena concept store and this location. I would eat at this location whenever I visit my family and BP always offer a safe meal that pleases most. Food is good, but does not deserve 5 stars. Met your server Brandon on several occasions while eating at this location. Always courteous, deserves 5 stars review. Didn't see Brandon in my last visit, found out that he has been fired because of a bad Yelp review. Quite disappointed. Wherever this young man is working now, your new boss is lucky to have you. read more
