I have been to several boiling point locations, particularly in the OC. I understand why the reviews in this location is not the greatest, but wanted to give it a try. I arrived & plenty of parking spots and place was packed with customers. The wait was quick within a 2 min time frame and they directed me to our table. I don't think they knew I sat before the other customers arrived after me and they took their order. Had to flag a staff member down and they took my order. Food arrived and order the beef small pot with white rice. It was very hot and delicious. Overall 4/5. They need to improve on service and making sure customer are well taken care of. read more

I've been to boiling point so many times and usually have had a great experience because it's one of the only hot pot places that has a vegetarian option. However, I went in on a sunday with my husband and some friends 30ish min after opening, and when I ordered, I was told the vegetarian hot pot was out of stock which was so surprising because it was the beginning of the day. I asked for other options that could be made vegetarian and was given one option, when asking if I can substitute the meat for veggies or tofu, I was told that's not possible. I ended up getting a broth that was essentially all water. Not flavorful at all. Definitely not worth the money. Our other friend has a shellfish allergy and was making sure what he was ordering didn't have shellfish and the workers were unable to verify whether what he ordered was safe for him to eat. It took 10-15 min for us to get confirmation on his allergen and a substitute for me. While I understand restaurants can run out of options, it definitely sucks when there are really no alternatives present. Wish they updated their menu to note what was out of stock so that maybe we would have just gone somewhere else to eat that day. Still love boiling point, but will likely not come back to this location. read more

My faveeee comfort food!!! I love you forever BP. My go to is the medium beef & rice. Fave drink is Lychee green tea! I miss their classic black tea though ): The tangy beef appetizer is great as well. The service isn't necessarily outstanding, but always fast and attentive. I love how they give free soup refills. I feel like the wait time isn't that as bad as before, but I might just be going on off hours. I'll always crave BP whenever wherever : D read more

I usually try to be really understanding with service workers since I work in customer service myself and always try to tip generously, but the experience my group had today was honestly disappointing. Our server, Emiliano, seemed very uninterested the entire time and didn't provide good service. When we asked him to speak up because we genuinely couldn't hear him, he would still barely speak loud enough for us to understand. Since it was our first time there, we also had a few simple questions about the menu, and he seemed visibly annoyed whenever we asked anything. What upset me most was that one of my friends has a shellfish allergy, and when we asked him to confirm whether the tempura contained shrimp, he said he would check but either forgot or never actually checked. The tempura ended up in the hot pot, and when we asked other workers, nobody seemed to know for sure whether there was shellfish in it. Situations involving allergies should be taken seriously, and there wasn't really an apology or urgency about it. I will say the service improved afterward, and I really appreciated Kiki stepping in to help us because she was much kinder. I just wish the experience had started that way. read more

Very clean tables. Fast and polite service. Delicious hotpot. I had a perfect experience, would come again. read more

Great comfort food.. my family and I always enjoy dining here. The service is great, servers are attentive and friendly. Big plus that they include a free drink (green tea or winter melon drink) during lunch time. I always order the beef hot pot. The beef hot pot mild is a bit spicy though, but it has all my favorites in there. Someone else in my party got the seafood tofu and it looked good as well. The metal chairs are a bit uncomfortable though, and seating is very limited so come early if you don't want to wait! Would overall recommend if you enjoy hot pot. read more

First and foremost, this location is quite small. Prepare to bring your patience and understanding. Given the food here aren't quick burgers but satisfying yet boiling soups, don't expect to be in and out in 15 minutes. With that being said, you may sign it by the door and add your party to the EList. Outside of that, you'll find a chilly environment full of boiling soups, walk with consideration and keep your children seated! We order the #4 which I believe is their most iconic soup. Still tastes the same, as well as its portions. Unsurprisingly, the pricing has gone up; I'd rather pay more to have the same quality than have them replace proteins or sides to keep at a cost effective rate. Service is quick and to the point, digital menu, and they move fast. Overall, my favorite hot soup in the area. Cheers! read more

Rotten veggies... Again. Years ago I stopped going there because bp would give me cilantro that was rotten, probably because they were running out. Since then, a couple of years later, i have them a chance and went back. The first time was good, so a week later I went back. Rotten veggies, lots of them directly in the pot, not yet submersed so it's clearly rotten. To the staff's credit, when I called their attention to this, they immediately apologized and told me they'd replace the veggies. The replacements were better, but not up to par. C'mon, this is not a cheap plate, and if you're really out of a certain veggie, I'm sure you can offer a substitute instead of two-week old stuff. (It maybe your fridge is too cold). read more

Boiling point is one of my favorites to go to. I enjoy all their hot pots. I wouldn't say it's the bestttt quality but it does get my hot pots fix. Service is amazing too. I feel like the staff here is so kind and attentive to everything I need. It's always busy but tables don't take long to clear up. I think I come like every 2 weeks. If it's not this location, it's another One thing I'd improve on is their points system. It's a little confusing but that's but a huge issue. read more

What's better to have on a cold night other than Boiling Point? We came here right after we went grocery shopping at 99 ranch supermarket around 9:15pm. Thank goodness there was no wait when we got there. Boiling point is located in the same plaza as Meet Fresh, and other restaurants, and Costco. It wasn't that bad looking for a parking space at night. I don't know how it is during the day. I ordered my usual mild flavored beef hot pot with a side of their vermicelli, and for the drink I'm so used to getting their iced green tea. Mild flavored hot pot definitely has a kick to it. So if you don't usually eat spicy I would recommend getting no spice. I like how their side vermicelli is now in a bag instead of them bringing it out in the open in the bowl. We decided to order their beef bowl with rice and an appetizer (spicy tangy beef). The beef in the beef bowl tasted like beef jerky, not sure if that's how it should be made. As for the appetizer, I feel like they took the beef from my hot pot and poured some spicy tangy oil over it. So nothing to rave about. Service was on point perhaps because they were not that busy. Waiter took the orders and the food came out soon after. I like the fact that they refilled my broth more than once and I didn't have to ask for it. Soon after we got our food the restaurant started to get busy. I always seem to bring the crowd to every restaurant I go to. read more

Boiling Point has been around for a while and has always been consistent with their hot pots and flavors. I heard that most of the ingredients are pre-packaged so that could be part of the reason. I like coming here for their Beef Hot Pot. It has a good portion of meat and veggies, and you get to choose from a side of rice or noodles. There are already noodles that come with this pot, so you'll just get extra of the same thing. The spiciness is just right too! read more

TL;DR - ENDLESS BROTH!!! - Can't go wrong with the beef pot, - portion size is big imo (good thing), - dozens of people that I showed them this place loved it and ask to go back anytime we hangout, - if you don't like spicy Mild (their lowest spice level) can be uncomfortable for most people. - for extra flavoring, mix all of the sauces on the table into the little tray they give you and dip each bite into it to make it even better Full review: The beef pot is by far my favorite pot here. I have been coming here for about 3 years and come almost monthly bringing my wife or friends. I have brought dozens of friends and family to this location (and their other locations) and every single person either really liked or absolutely loved the beef pot. I'm Mexican so my family was a bit skeptical because of the fish cakes but after trying it, the bowl was left empty with full stomachs. I will say that everyone we brought here that likes spicy food found the mild pretty spicy. But I will also say, if they really like spice, they wouldn't say this... That being said, the mild spice level is pretty strong for non-spice lovers. My wife and I have a routine here: 1) mix all of the sauces on the table into the little trays they give, dip each bite into it and enjoy every bite 2) ask for extra bowls so we can keep the soup boiling the entire time and serve ourselves the bowl and cool to our temperature 3) The portion size is about double for us so we always ask for containers for the soup and the rice. Then the next day we re-heat it on the stove and like many soups, the beef pot has SO much more flavor the next day. 4) If we are visiting my parents and they see us with our to go containers, they expect us to have brought them some beef pot (we got them hooked too!) We love this place so much that for our wedding last year, our registry had 5 things and one of them was boiling point gift cards lol. read more

First time here and we were skeptical about some reviews but we stuck it out because there were three pregnant women waiting in line so it must be goood !! Yes wait was a while but worth it! Service was GREAT! I read a lot of bad reviews on the service but Chenka was so helpful and so nice. Give that man a raise !!! 10/10. The food was also delicious! I looked like a pregnant girl rolling out of there! Ya'll that say no flavor put some of the little three sauces they have there duhhhhh. Add it in the soup ! Be your own sauce bae. read more

Good service in a cozy, cramped space with small tables. I ordered the beef hot soup. The broth was healthy and flavorful with a nice amount of protein, though be careful--the broth tends to flick hot liquid onto clothes. The mango aloe green tea was refreshing, and I requested less sugar, which they accommodated. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I didn't get to try this place as it was crowded and there was a one hour line. I ended up going on another day for lunch. Even during lunch time with available tables there was a short 10 ish minute sit as they were understaffed. Food was good, but I personally prefer pot on fire. Wintermelon tea stood out, as it was delicious and not many places offer it. I think I had high expectations for this place because there was a one hour line on the same day that pot on fire had no line at the same time. Nonetheless still a great single hot pot place. TLDR - solid hot pot spot. Lot of sauce options read more

What is most annoying is if you ask for something and they don't deliver it to the table like a soup spoon or a take out container, which was the case tonight with one of the servers. It happened on several items and resulted in multiple requests. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they were busy; however, I have been to other Boiling Point locations that were also busy and never encountered that issue. The Sweet Tea with boba was way too sweet... and I tend to not have an issues with drinks on the sweeter side. Other than that, the sauces are what make the meal. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Quick service and delicious food! We were seated prettly quick and our food was delivered just as fast.

This place is 100% worth the wait on a busy Friday Night! Despite the long wait, the workers were striving to bring spectacular service by seating people accordingly and in a timely manner. Every one is so attentive and making sure we are enjoying our meal. Once seated, the wait for food is conveniently quick. The spice level for Beef was perfect! I burned the roof of my mouth earlier in the day so I didn't want to go for flaming, however Medium still had a good kick to it but not too much. Their garlic soy sauce is a super yummy topping. The restaurant is petite and intimate. Pudding Sweet Milk with boba is my favorite! I can't wait to try the Taro Oolong Milk Tea (it was sold out) This is a great way to the beginning of a joyous Fall! This place seems popular so I'd suggest getting here earlier than your hunger begins! read more

Went for the lunch special- yay for free tea drink with order! The beef hotpot was so good! It already comes with vermicelli noodles, but they ask if you want vermicelli or rice on the side. Didn't mind the extra noodles at all! Soup flavor was great and I was especially impressed how much beef is in it. It had pretty good quality beef. Service was excellent and attentive despite how busy they usually are. Looking forward to coming back again soon to try their other items. read more

overall score: B- order: thai tomato i have always enjoyed boiling point as my go to meals sometimes. i have never tried the thai tomato and i decided to give it a go. i would say that the broth is good for those who like a sweet but sour taste. however, the toppings compared to the others was not as good to me. the broth could have used more power but overall, i enjoyed my meal. the sauces are great as well. my ratio is 6 garlic paste, 2 garlic sauce, and half a scoop of green pepper. service: there is always a wait here and some days are very long. however, service is good as they are attentive and kind. ambiance: it is a little small but there is a lot of seating. parking is never an issue as well. read more

Boiling Point - #10 Thai Tomato Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

BP always hits no matter if it's cold or hot outside! The lines are always long during the weekends but I think it's worth the wait, it's in a shopping center so you can walk around. The only issue is that their check in is a "ticket" and they will text you when you're up ahead but it doesn't give you the approx wait time. For a party size of 8, we waited about 40 minutes. The food comes out pretty quick but just wish the service was a bit faster today. Overall, the quality of the food never disappoints! Highly recommend (: read more

dead empty in the restaurant and 23 people waiting outside with a large group of 10. why don they split them up since the restaurant has only 3 tables that are seated. this is ridiculous the servers clearly are inexperienced and don't know how to seat people and the the wait list around. owner/manager: please train your staff members better or just be more pro active at your restaurant as this has been an on going issue for years and years! read more

I came the other day. Everything was great up until the end because of one server (her name started with a Y but I'm not sure how to spell it). I went up to the front and she didn't say a single word to me as I asked for my check and paid. She seemed annoyed, even though I thought I approached her politely? I work at a different BP location and I feel like my experience as a customer at BP Chino Hills was unwelcome... read more

I love love love Boiling Point, but this location does not match up to their consistency in the quality that Boiling Point aims to deliver.

Thanks to our server Nicholas and the rest of the staff on the floor that made possibly the worst experience in any Boiling Point to date. Not only had forgotten to log our order, I had to eat soup off a plate because I never got a bowl, and lastly did not bother returning the refill of sauce that we asked for. My wife and I were plenty patient but each one of the above were from different staff on the floor. We ended up barely touching the food and paying the full bill. Imagine a long day of work and taking care of kids and a night like this to top it off. "We're understaffed" is not going to cut it when you're intaking customers and neglecting the rest already seated. Won't be back. Thanks Chino Boiling Point. read more

We got the tomato broth, which comes only in a large size. It was more sour, personally not for me, but I know a lot of people like this broth. The sauces are good. We came in about an hour before closing, and the service was somewhat slow. It took a while before we could finally order. Worth a try though. read more

Boiling Point! Hands down one of my favorite hot pot place! I always come after a good old snowboarding session during the winter season, or when I'm craving some type of hotpot. I also love how they cater to individual diners, which I can appreciate! The service can be a little better, in term of coming around the establishment and offering soup/water refills or to check up to make sure the meal is going well, but despite that, if you flag down a server they are pretty quick to service you. The interior is decorated pretty minimally, there's some posters around the restaurant for events they are running. Other than that, they have spacious and clean tables. I always come during lunch time for the free green tea that comes with a purchase of a pot. My go-to pot is the Beef Hot Pot with the Hot spice level! The pot is extremely flavorful and super filling! I always leave feeling extremely satisfied! read more

I got the beef mild - Meat portion was a lot better than before - Rice + soup is refillable for free - Lunch time comes with a green or black tea All for less than $20 a person The garlic bean paste is my favorite dipping sauce. I didn't have any issues with the staff. Our server was quick to take the order and assist with any request we had. Something to keep in mind when you do come, it's COLD AF inside!
