Our server Vincent was very , knowledgeable, attentive, and professional, best service in town... We will definitely be back ....

I haven't been in maybe 5 years. Boy has it changed. I ordered the Taiwanese soup and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that spicy. We're talking about can't even taste the broth or any of the vegetables, noodles in it! Did they just pour the whole jar into the pot? I spent $25 and couldn't even eat it; had to dump it. I love spicy food but this was extra fire. read more

I'm not sure where to start... our server Frank..?? I believe that's his name, he was so rude to me and my friends. I can understand if you're having a bad day, but putting it out on us and getting upset when we're asking for extra utensils because we ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED IT ON THE FLOOR shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. The whole night he was avoiding our table and would have to keep on reminding him to give us water. I'm not sure who's training staff at this location, but you need to watch your employees. I used to enjoy coming to this location but thanks to this whole experience... not any more read more

Tonight's experience at Boiling Point was beyond frustrating. the level of incompetence from the staff--especially so close to closing--was absolutely unacceptable. We ran low on bean paste and politely asked the staff member if it could be refilled. He just stared at us for several seconds--literally said nothing and did nothing--until someone in our group repeated the request. Only then did he even start to move. That kind of indifference is baffling. Later, we asked that same guy to light the burner for our hot pot, and instead of helping, he told us to ask someone else. What?! Why is that not something he can do? We're sitting at a table, trying to eat, and now it's on us to hunt down another staff member to get our food heated? Luckily he took initiative and went to grab the lighter. Then they kept bringing dishes to our table and just dropping them off without lighting the burner. No explanation. No follow-up. They would just disappear before we could even say anything. There was also a tall girl on staff who spoke so softly that we literally couldn't hear her twice. We had to keep asking her to repeat herself Honestly, the whole experience felt like the staff just wanted to go home and didn't care at all. And unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had poor service at a Boiling Point location. But tonight really sealed it for me--this was hands-down one of the worst. read more

Arrived with my group on a Monday afternoon. As it was a lunch hour, we had to wait 20-30 minutes for a table. However, the server informed us the AC was down and the inside felt hotter than the 96 degree weather outside. Thankfully, the staff were very patient and frequently checked in with us for water and soup. read more

Its 11:22am on a Saturday and we have been waiting outside for 15 mins already. I popped in to see if they are packed and there are 5 empty tables. There are probably 4-5 parties standing out in the cold.. why is that? This place needs better management. read more

Came here on a weekday and the service was okay; got sat within 10-15 mins non full house. There were lots of servers that are standing around and not being as attentive. There's indoor seating only and the ambiance is lowlight and comfortable. The food was good as I remember it being coming here for years now. Although their menu changed a bit, like they don't have the hokkaido mt anymore. Either way, I'd still come back here. read more

Horrible service. They had tables ready but did not bother to sit people down. Waitress seems souless and dont want to work but want a fat tip? Im never coming back ever. No wonder they already have 3 star review read more

The food quality is consistent with other BP locations. It was very yummy with all the goodies it says it has on the menu. It comes with your choice of noodles or rice. The noodles is a dried clear noodle packet and you have to put it in your pot to cook. I opted for the rice since there are vermicelli noodles in the pot with most options. I wasn't too thrilled with the service, I thought they spoke too loud, because 2 tables down you can hear her say "you can't really share, they're made for 1". I thought that was rude. Plus they didn't check up on us, only when they delivered the food and then gave us our check. So I'll probably go to other locations than this one. ADVICE!! If you get separate checks, double check your bill! The tip is based off the original check. So basically my friend and I paid double tip because we just checked the box. (18% for both bills, making it 36% tip) read more

I went back to the restaurant yesterday after a long time. I didn't want to go because the service was so bad in the past, but when I went back this time, the service got much better. Steven? Sorry... I can't remember his name well, but he was too quick and kind. I should go eat often even because of him. My boyfriend and I had a very satisfying meal. Store seems more cleaner and Organized specially the bathroom was cleaner than past time. read more

This is a review for the food and the service provided, NOT including the wait time. Their pots are pretty standard across locations and this one was no different. With that said, this location had the longest wait time for a Boiling Point I have ever experienced. I waited two hours on a weekend night- from dinner time to almost their closing time. The staff is trying their best and it seems they're short-staffed. read more

Usually a long wait but very worth it. Soup is amazingly tasty. I love how they have so many great options. Quick and nice service. Clean restaurant. read more

We came on a friday night, and they told us it would be a 30-40 minute wait. There were nine tables ahead. They made us stand outside in the 50 degree weather. Then after the 40 minutes, told us we were number 20 line and it would be another 30-40 minute wait. What the heck, what dishonest service and business management. If the staff had been honest about the hour/ hour 20 minutes wait, from the beginning we would have left within five minutes. Terrible Service. Won't ever go return to this location or business. Awful. The server asking us to wait outside in the freezing weather was the cherry on top. How can they continue this terrible business practice...we were let down completely on this on yelp. Three and half stars is not accurate at all. If I could rate this place negative stars I would. read more

As long as you come in expecting to wait 1-1.5hours, this location is still good. Taiwanese hotpot here was good. Service was fine, just busy, meaning you do have to flag someone down everytime you need something. It's funny that all the boiling point locations are less than 4 stars, and despite people's complaints of service and wait and whatever, nothing has changed, and they're all still so busy with customers! LOL read more

Came here with a friend on a Saturday and didn't have to wait long for seating, once we got seated and ordered our food after looking over the menu it didn't even feel that long once we got our food. It was delicious the one I got was the Lamb and it was amazing and so flavorful the meat was juicy and delicious the other stuff that was in the bowl was equally as delicious and if not super good. Super filling as well. It's a nice environment and our sever was really nice as well. Honestly I would come here again because I got addicted to it. read more

Boiling Point - Lamb - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

The price. It is $20 for the small and $25 for the bigger one. They made rice unlimited but let's be honest, no one is celebrating that. AYCE KBBQs are the same price. Grant it, its different but KBBQ does offer some type of soup. I stopped eating here about 2 years ago because when my GF and I would see the bill, it is over $60 before tip. The atmosphere is great, the workers are amazing. I just cant justify paying $60-70 for 2 bowls of soup with unlimited broth and rice. Even before inflation, the price was already questionable. Don't get me wrong, the soup are delicious but the price for it is not at all worth it. read more

This place used to have good customer service. This location is constantly changing staff. In our last couple of visits we have received poor customer service. Once they serve your food they will never come to you to ask if you need anything else. I raised my hands múltiple times to ask for napkins and more broth, I don't know if they like to pretend like they don't see you because they never came to my table. I have to get up and ask for it and it also took them 6 minutes to come. It Is a super small restaurant and they weren't too busy. I don't think I'm coming back to this location again. The food is good but bad customer service makes me not wanting to come back again. read more

super yummy, good quality meat, and diligent service even during busy hours. the place is quite small, so be prepared for at least a 25 minute wait if you're going at a busy time. great ambiance, and great selection of all you can eat sides. definitely go!! read more

came by as i heard of the menu adjustment. there is indeed a lot of meat in the soups as well as unlimited rice. food came out quick and was hot & tasty. 10/10 for the food but the service was 4/10 mediocre. the servers were all hanging out in the back of the restaurant with their backs to the customers. i wish the servers provided service to the customers (water, checking if we need more rice, closing out our bill within 5 minutes) still would come back :) read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

3.5 overall. Boiling point is one of my favorite places for warm hot pot on a cold day. My go to is the beef hot pot medium spicy. I love to mix the soy garlic and soybean sauce to dip all the veggies and meat in. It's my first time at this specific location and unfortunately the service was lackluster and everyone working did the absolute minimum. There are a good amount of people working but it's so hard to get anyone's attention for anything. Ended up going up to the front to pay and get a togo box. It's my first time eating at a boiling point where no one gave us water/green tea until we followed up after our food came out, no one came by to ask if we wanted more soup or the fire turned off. We basically only interacted with them to order and get our food. read more

I've heard of the great phenomenon that is Boiling Point, Boiling Pot, Hot Pit, etc throughout the years. I know about them, I know their locations, and I've had home cooked version of all of them, from the Cambodian version to the Japanese Sukiyaki to the Chinese Hot Pot. But, I've yet to visit a location in person and try them out. Then one day, a good friend of mines invited us to meet up and try this Boiling Point establishment out in Artesia, CA. Conveniently tucked on Pioneer Blvd about 2-3mins drive from the 91 freeway, you can here pretty easy. Parking is shared among other local and nearby shopping and eateries as well. A giant sign "BOILING POINT" can be seen from the street and even the parking lot. You can't miss this establishment. Once at the entrance, you'll be greeted with a wall of menu in bright big posters/boards laminated on the wall in front of the entrance once you're inside. A clipboard to write down your name and numbers in your party. At the time, their check-in/iPad was not working. The wait was roughly 10-15 mins. Once they called your name/party, the awesome waiter/waitress will seat you and offer you a menu and drinks order. What I count is about 13-14 tables seating anywhere from 4-6. I think with individualized hot pot stations, more than 4 to a table is already tight and squeezing more seat is just uncomfortable. We got our drinks and then proceeded to order the plentiful selection of types of soup, intensity of spice and additional carbs to go with it (rice or noodles). Here wereour selections: : House Special Hot Pot (w/ Noodles) : Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup (w/ Noodles) : Beef Hot Soup (w/ Noodles) : Sides: Fermented Tofu : Sides: Garlic Porkbelly The soups were so full of flavor and very very tasty. You cannot go wrong on any of the selections. My favorite has to be the Korean Bean Paste. The sides were also great as well. Interesting taste on the Fermented Tofu; tastebud excitement is warned--it is not for everyone. However, the Garlic Porkbelly is very tasty and has your typical Korean style Porkbelly texture to it. It can be eaten solely or added to the soup for further flavoring. You can't go wrong on either. Next time, we'll try the other flavors. For now, I'm recommending this place to everyone wanting to try a warm and delicious soup with additional sides. read more

boiling point is my go-to for a comforting, flavorful meal. i always get the taiwanese spicy hot soup -- if you love spice, this one's a must. it's got the perfect level of heat and the broth is so rich and addicting. the portion is solid and it always hits the spot. never disappoints. plus, they've got that iced black tea that's the perfect way to cool down after the spice. definitely recommend if you're a hot pot lover. read more

My husband decided to take me here Me personally I didn't like it but he has in the past I ordered BEEF to me it really reminded me of fernet/ liquorice so I only was able to eat the meat and had to drench it in the sauces they had, Which were good. We also ordered the appetizer meat spicy tangy beef that was good! If I ever came back again I would probably just order that. Service was on point and food came fast. read more

My friend mentioned this place was close to her house and she tended to like it maybe a little more than Red Flame. She suggested we go here before we attended a BLACKPINK concert this past Sunday. It's in the same plaza with other food places. Depending on when you get there, you could find a spot without much issue or you might have to look around for a spot. We planned to meet more friends there around 4:30 PM and found a spot without much issue. Our friends put our names on the waitlist before we got there and we waited about 10-15 minutes before they seated us. (We noticed there were some available tables but I'm guessing the restaurant was very short-staffed.) Once seated, we actually had to flag down a waiter to take our order. He seemed a little nervous, but I sense it was because he was new. (He had a uniform shirt on with the word trainee across the front.) Similar to Red Flame, I ordered the beef hot pot. Food took maybe 7-9 minutes. My friend ordered a winter melon drink without ice and unfortunately had to have it fixed as it came with ice. Like Red Flame, the hot pot dishes come on their own stoves. Mine was very hot and eventually I had to have the flame extinguished early on, as the broth was starting to jump up and boil violently. (Some it hit my arm - thankfully it wasn't too hot to burn my arm yet.) The flavors were good though. Unfortunately, the dish didn't sit well with my stomach as I experienced nausea the next day. It's a shame since I liked the flavors a bit more than Red Flame. read more

Boiling Point - Beef hot pot medium spice with vermicelli. - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Experience (2/5): I would seriously consider other Boiling Point locations before coming here. Sure, the wait at BP is always long, but the 1.5 hours here were purely due to operational inefficiency and one of the host's slowness/lack of urgency rather than actual customer demand. Before and while dining, there was always 2-4 tables open. At least there's a 99 Ranch in the same plaza so you can shop while you wait? Food (3/5): The new deal with extra meat and AYCE rice seems like a gimmick to be more competitive with similar restaurant concepts. I didn't feel like there was significantly more meat, and the meat quality seems to have gone down. The ingredients were also haphazardly chopped. Rice wasn't fully cooked but thankfully got replaced. The broth was great like always though. Old time milk tea at this location was not good- tastes like nondairy creamer. Service (2/5): The service is pretty inconsistent. Some people are working hard and on top of it, but others are just staring at their iPad and have no follow through or urgency towards requests. They are opening a new location in West Garden Grove, so maybe check that one out instead. read more

Drove all this way 30+ min before closing just for them to say they ran out of broth and closed the line early :/ I've been to other boiling points countless times over the last decade and have never had this happen, based on other reviews it isn't uncommon for them to 'run out' of ingredients sometimes hours before closing. just fyi read more

I LOVE Boiling Point, it's been my favorite hotpot place for years now! I was very excited to hear about their new menu: double meat and AYCE rice and a medium drink. Comes out to be about $25-30 per person after tax and tip, and we were very full after eating. It definitely hit the spot! However, the wait sucks. We waited about 1.5hr for 2 people and came Sunday around 6pm. The wait is usually long, but I've usually been sat under an hour especially before 7pm. While eating, we noticed that multiple tables were left open or it took awhile to get bussed/cleaned. The line only grew longer and the service was slow. Personally think that there were enough servers and they were not understaffed, there was just no sense of urgency. They were kind, but I felt like we just had to keep asking for things. Closing out and running our cards took a very long time... Will I come back again? Yes, but probably earlier in the day and less hungry so I won't get hangry while waiting. My go-to is the curry spicy with rice and Hokkaido milk tea!! read more

I NEVER write reviews. Poor service and food sucks. Kyla or Klya who was suppose to sit us down gave our table away and made us wait so we walked out. Literally told us we were next and gave the table to someone else. I say the food sucks because I tried it once and they did not have half their menu available. Idk, Kyla ruined the whole experience the second time. read more

So they were empty because they just opened so we sat down and they asked us to move tables even though they still werent busy enough that we would've had to move when we left btw. Then took a while to take our order, then didn't even give us drinks when other people came in later and got drinks and food already and then finally they say they dont have mushroom veggie after waiting like half an hour and I cant get anything else there because i don't eat meat. And this is actually the second time something like this has happened we used to come all the time and they were fine. read more

First time checking out this location and so glad we did. It's the closest one to me. Sis and I came during an off hour so there was plenty of seating. Service was solid, and my food arrived in a good time. The house special is my go to and I always order it extra spicy. read more

Such a delicious hot pot restaurant. There are so many variety of options from lamb, beef, tofu, to seafood hot pots that you can choose from. Broths are so savory and refillable upon request. Your food basically is served boiling in front of you! (You can ask the servers to turn off the fire at any time or reignite it). Options come with things like mushrooms, cabbage, noodles, corn, etc depending on which option you choose (they are preselected based on your meat or nonmeat option). You can still request to add other items to your hot pot or ask to remove things. My favorite is the lamb. It is super savory and the meat is lean. (It does come with some blood gelatin so if that is not your thing, make sure to ask for it to not be added in). Came here with some friends and waited roughly 30 mins for a party of 4. Unfortunately there are no reservations and it's first come first serve (must sign in at the electronic kiosk upon arrival). It is totally worth the wait though! read more

Worst experience. Ordered four soups. Messed up an order. Ordered taiwanese soup and specified no pork blood. Instead, they put pork blood and did not put any pork in the soup. Called the restaurant and explained and the sever asked me "so what is your point". My point? That you guys messed up an order!! Extremely frustrating. I would like to support businesses during this hard time but def not somewhere they don't know what customer service is. I regret tipping them. read more

Craving for some hot pot in the area. Got my craving satisfied! I miss hot pot from boiling point! Feel nostalgic of food in 626. Service was good. You view menu from QR code that hangs from the bottom of the table. Good ambiance. Chairs need to be clean before new customers comes in but other than that. Great food and drinks. read more

Boiling Point - Milk Cream Curry - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Boiling point is my all time favorite restaurant and I will always come back to eat here. I have been to many locations and always know what to typically expect. This is my review on the Cerritos location. Food 10/10. The food at BP will never disappoint. I always get a beef medium with rice and black tea. It's my tried and true go to. SO delicious Service 1/10. Out of every BP location I have been to, the service here is definitely the worst. Very inattentive and I see them chatting in the back quite often. LISTEN. I love eating here and I know BP can get very busy and understaffed which I can totally understand. But I have eaten here around lunch on a Tuesday where there's maybe 2 other customers eating and their service is still super slow. I would have to flag waiters down to give me the bill at least twice. My friend has gotten her card mixed with another customer before. Service needs to be improved on. Wait times honestly vary on when you plan on eating here. If you come on a weekend during dinner hours, prepare to wait at least an hour and a half. On weekdays, you can get seated instantly. read more

I've gone to this location for the past 2 years and while their Taiwanese Spicy hotpot remains delicious, I've noticed a downhill on service and wait times (as you'll notice from more recent reviews). Food & Value (3/5): My husband and I love their Taiwanese Spicy hotpot. The broth flavor is rich, savory, and has a nice, fragrant Asian spice taste to it. First thing I eat is always the ramen in it before it gets too soft. Aside from the meat, I love the intestines, tofu skins and blood cubes. There's admittedly a lot of cabbage to bulk it up and they are not always consistent in including the right amount of fish balls. One dinner, both of our hotpots were pretty skimp on ingredients including cabbage, so they may need to check their inventory. Speaking of checking inventory, a month ago, they were all out of their popular garlic bean paste by mid-afternoon and resorted to limiting each customer to two packets of their takeout sauce. I don't even know what dinner would have looked like that night since one of their key dipping sauces were limited before then. Service (2/5): As others said, the wait is horrendous. We came here around 3 and another time around 4 thinking the wait would be decent. Think again. It took an hour or over an hour to be seated for a family of three (one baby), today included. Considering the food they serve, you would think filling tables wouldn't be an issue as the worker drops the pot on the table with assembled ingredients and leaves the customer to eat for the next half hour or so. Many people were still waiting outside or in their cars. The crazy thing is that when you walk in, there are several tables still open. I think they are understaffed for the afternoon, as dinner crew didn't come in until 5:30 or so and could have used them earlier. Workers are also busy/distracted despite fewer tables waited on, so flagging them down is a common thing. This is definitely a management issue overall. Ambiance (4/5): While it's nice in there with music, warm lighting, and music, it's marred by the fact that service and management could use some improvement. I've seen many people come in to eat and catch up with friends or simply on a date or family meal. It's not a bad place to eat, but be prepared for a bad wait time and not so stellar service depending on the time you go. read more
