    House special
    Ceci L.

    It's been awhile since I've had lunch here and it looks like they updated their menu. They removed 'Thai Tomato,' which was delicious and added 'the Hot Green.' Lunch still comes with a free drink: iced green tea or iced wintermelon tea. This time I ordered the House special, which was underwhelming. You would think 'house special' would come with a bit of everything, but it consisted mostly of overcooked pork. I'm not sure what the soup base was, but it was very plain. My husband ordered the beef, which had tasty toppings and a flavourful broth.

    I haven't been to Boiling Point since high school and I came here with my friend since there was a $10 off promotion on social media. The restaurant has a nice layout but I feel like it could be cleaner. I got the Korean Bean Paste soup in medium spice and was surprised to see the amount of crown daisy in my pot; it did not look like the picture on the menu! While I didn't mind the extra vegetables and the portion of meat was generous, I think I prefer eating hot pot at other places. Also, since the pot was cooking as I ate (the staff lit a flammable gel under the pot), the soup started to boil halfway through my meal and I would have burned my mouth if I wasn't careful. I remembered that I really liked Boiling Point years ago, however I think with more hot pot restaurants opening, my standards have changed. Here, you can't really customize what's in your pot and you will be paying at least $25 Pros: free rice or vermicelli with your meal, large portions Cons: not very customizable, on the pricier side, beware of drinking boiling soup

    With so many hot pot spots popping up all over Metro Vancouver, boiling point is still the most nostalgic for me to visit. It was one of the first hot pot restaurants to come to Vancouver and it never disappointed! I love the design of their heating element for more through heating too! My fav pot is the beef but tried out the seafood this time and was reminded why I prefer the beef. Still tasty but the soup wasn't as flavourful in my opinion

    Boiling Point is a place that guarantees warmth and a full stomach. Period. Every time I visit, I always wonder if the sizes of the pots have shrunk, or there's less meat. Every time I visit, I'm absolutely stuffed. Specializing in individual pots, Taiwanese style, all of the 10-ish ingredients are boiling hot when placed on your table, and it's a fulfilling feeling digging through the next bite. The broths pack a punch in spice and in umami, especially when paired with a dipping sauce. The meat has just enough flavor to reach past the other ingredients, while holding everything together with a familiarly unique texture. That being said, mild is the level of spice; I've seen quite a few people unable to finish because of how hot the spicy variations are. I usually come for dinner with friends, but it's generally better to have lunch because of the free drink (green or black tea). Wait times are generally 15 minutes, which is very efficient considering all of the ingredients managed. Seating is consistent across all locations, and the ambiance is comfortable for any occasion.

    Boiling Point is always a good go-to spot for a single pot hot pot, especially on a cold and rainy day. I've been to their other locations in the states, and the food at this location in Vancouver is exactly the same. I came for Friday dinner with 5 others around 6 pm. Because we were a larger group, we had to wait 30 minutes for two neighboring tables to be available. From what I saw, most of their tables are for 4 people, so I recommend coming with max 4 people to make seating easier. I went with the beef hot pot. You can also choose whether you want rice or noodles as well as the spice level. I have zero spice tolerance, so I went with level zero. Even that was a little bit spicy for me, so I can't imagine how spicy their spiciest level is... Our food came out fairly quickly, within 10 minutes of ordering. Everything in the pot is cooked already, and they have a small flame at the bottom of each pot to keep your food hot as you're eating. Everything in the pot was delicious, especially when paired with their dipping sauces which you can mix and match. Portions are big as well; some folks in my group couldn't finish their food. I managed to finish it, but it was definitely a struggle by the end. It's a popular dinner spot. By the time we finished eating around 8, there were still people waiting for a table outside. It's mostly metered street parking in this area. I parked in the HSBC bank parking lot right around the corner, but that was paid as well.

    They take Covid rules very seriously here--which I really respect! They make sure there's proper social distancing between tables, really wipe down the tables after use (we could smell the cleaner agent when they wiped down a table next to us), and was carefully making sure our Covid passports/IDs checked out. I love eating out boiling point. My only gripe is that I'm allergic to peanuts and so I can't really get their beef hot pot. I always have to get another hot pot -- which basically mostly comes with pork. And I'm not allowed to switch out the pork for beef :( Always nice to come during lunch as the pots are a little cheaper (despite being exactly the same) and you get a free drink (sweetened green tea or black tea) with your meal! A word of advice: the Taiwanese spicy really is very hot. Like wreck your stomach kind of hot. My family can eat quite spicy, but while your mouth can tolerate it, your tummy likely will go through a challenge!

    Boiling Point serves up the perfect hot pots to warm you up on those colder days and nights. Many options are available to suit the preferences and diets of most potential guests. I find the portions and quality to remain consistent which is always nice. You can go to any Boiling Point location and know you'll receive what you've come to expect from them. All the standard hot pots are enough to fill most bellies, but they do have a menu of add-ons available. A word of warning... The "flaming spicy" level of spice is legitimately spicy.

    Came here with B. We got our usual. I got the lamb hotpot and he got the beef hotpot. Because we came during Covid time, there was a line up in front of us. We were third in line and the wait was like 10 - 15 mins (arrived at 5:50pm on a Friday). It was not too bad. B had to rush home by 8:30 and at first we were not sure if we would make it back. I have to say service was quick and food came really quick as well. I was surprised. We sat down at around 6:05 pm and finished our food at 7 pm and made it home at 7:30pm. Best of all half way eating, the server came by and asked if we wanted the fire to be put out (located at the bottom of the pot). We said yes. Without it constantly boiling, we can eat even faster. We really liked the sauce that comes with our hotpot. Overall, the food was very tasty. I sometimes wished that there are more meat. Great food and great service. There is something about their chopsticks. They are not easy to use or maybe it is just me. Note that the lunch and dinner price is slight different for the same size. The dinner is $1 more and if you come here during lunch time, you get free drinks. It is somewhat hard for us to make it here during lunch time because I work on weekdays unless I do weekend. All Covid protocols are in place at this restaurant.

    Watch out for these sauces mine were bad. Definitely expired.

    Feeling lazy ordered on door dash. We ordered two beef One mild and one spicy. ( my mild definitely wasn't mild) it was still super spicy! And seriously lacking flavour. Definitely not what I'm used to from boiling point. It came with 3 packets of sauce. I combined two sauces and noticed right away a strange taste. Tried it a few more times and knew for sure I couldn't eat those sauces. I Even tried both sauces seperate and they both tasted funky. I even asked my husband to taste it and he said it tasted like "shit." now we've had these sauces before so we know what they taste like. Anyone working in a restaurant should know if something tastes off. Called the restaurant and it took a while trying to explain that the sauces were bad. They passed the phone to another girl and she kept saying that because the expiration date said it wasn't expired they were going by that. Lol. Ok first of all expiration date is basically only good until you open it and then after things can get spoiled easily. Something could of contaminated these sauces or maybe they weren't sealed properly. I told them to try it themselves and tell me if it tasted normal. She said hold on and thinking she was going to try it. She just came back to tell me she'd try it later. So maybe she was too embarrassed to say it was bad. It basically grossed me out to even finish my food. Lol. Hopefully I don't get sick! Lol let's just say we are definitely not going back to this location.

    Just thinking about my meal makes me salivate. I have been going to boiling point since they opened their first location in Richmond. The individual pots are the perfect amount to fill you up. The mix of ingredients makes it fun to eat and the flavours are reminiscent of my childhood in Taiwan. And the sauces! You can't go wrong with a little bean paste and garlic soy, just perfect! My go to has always been either the beef or lamb pot, spicy. And I recommend going for lunch as you get a free drink with your meal.

    Seafood & Tofu hot pot
    Melanie E.

    A few of us came here for lunch on a hot day. It's better to have a piping mini hot pot dish when it's cold outside. They serve a variety of hot soups with additional add-on dishes to choose from. Included with the price of your meal, you receive an icy cup of green or black tea and a choice of rice or vermicelli with your dish. You can also choose from 5 types of sauces to accompany your dish. If you like seafood, try the seafood and tofu mini hot soup (it's my favourite). The others had the Thai Tomato and Taiwanese Spicy. Checkout their menu for some new items. They are currently offering 10% off for first time online orders. There are a few Boiling Points around town - Burnaby, Vancouver, & Surrey. They are open everyday and each location has different operating hours. You can dine-in, have delivery or do takeout. It's a great way to satisfy everyone's different palates. If you like really hot & spicy food, you'll love this place!

We monitored the waitlist and joined it so that we would be seated around 9PM (that's when HH started). The service was good and our server was very attentive. The taste is really just the broth (I always get the Chinese herbal soup) and it was good and flavourful in the beginning, but of course after cooking some proteins and veggies in it, it does change the flavour. The quality of the meat and veggies were good, and the pricing is definitely worth it during HH because it was 25% off the bill!

We went there for the all you can eat hotpot, which was $43.99 per person for dinner. They were pretty busy on a Friday night, although we were able to get a table because some reservation didn't show up. Medium sized interior with mostly booth seating, and the entrance is narrower and expands to the back. It's a personal hotpot so each person gets their own stove and order their own soup base. Ordering is done via a tablet. They also have cooked dishes like skewers, fried mantou and other things on the menu in addition to the hotpot ingredients. Some of the items cost extra and are labeled with the cost. In the center, they have the sauce bar, desserts bar of mostly Chinese jellos and also an ingredients bar with things like spam and quail eggs. I got the satay broth and it was decent.
