Time and time again I attempt to give Boiling Point a try, it's disappointing. Yesterday I had the worst stomach pain after eating a lamb hot pot. Not only me but 2 other friends who ordered different items on the menu had the same experience. Call me sensitive but there is smt in that soup that is giving people a hard time. My best guess is that the fatty meats they use and its cooked in the broth. Me and my bf had to use the bathroom 3 times post meal. My abdomen is sore from the absolute rollercoaster of a pain this caused me. ): read more

Whenever I'm craving hotpot, the first place that comes to my mind is Boiling Point. It's conveniently located and is back open for dine-in again during covid. They are practicing great hygiene by offering hand sanitizer and bringing out the sauces in clean plastic containers instead of having it available on the table. The service is quick. After ordering, you can expect it to be ready within 5-10 minutes. This location gets busy, especially at dinner time. They do however have a check-in kiosk where you can be put on the waitlist and it will notify you via a ticket or text message. I like coming here during lunch because it's $1 less and comes with a complimentary iced tea drink. If you're looking for suggestions, you must try the milk curry hotpot! My other go-to favorites is the beef or lamb hotpot. Be warned, the spicy level is spicier than normal. I find that mild is still pretty spicy as someone who usually does not routinely eat spicy foods. I'm giving it a four stars because they do have a lot of filler ingredients in the hotpot. There is usually too much napa lettuce in some of the hotpot options. I wish they offered a mini-sized hotpot option at a lower cost for people who find the original size to be too much. On a positive note though, the hotpot is really filling and satisfies my hunger on a cold day. read more

BP is always a good time! The service was fast and the food is pretty good for the price.

My wife and I shared a large hotpot and lamb dish for lunch. The pot comes boiling, pre-loaded with food. Brought with an alcohol burner to keep it boiling. The food was good. Place was 4/5 full, mostly Chinese people. The restaurant was well staffed with several employees moving around doing things. Service was good, but a bit odd. Upon arrival, we were faced with a sign telling us to sign up on their automated queue, and saying they would text when a table was available. We looked around at the empty tables and the employees walking around but not greeting us, wondering if they really wanted us to sign in the automated system. Eventually we did. After that a guy came to seat us. No text. Then 5 or so minutes later he came by and asked about my phone number. I confirmed that the number in the queue was mine and then he left. We were not provided with a menu nor was there one at the table. An adjacent empty table had a card with a link to the web menu, so we snatched that to figure out what we wanted. Then we looked around for a waiter. There is a clearly labeled place at the counter for placing take out orders, and I spent a couple of minutes wondering if I was supposed to go there to order before the waiter arrived to take our order in the customary fashion. The wait was not inordinately long, just the idiosyncrasies kept me unsure about how to navigate the system. Should not be an issue second time around. read more

Terrible check-in experience. Their entrance is the size of a small closet which already had 10 people crammed inside it prior to our arrival. After shouldering our way through the crowd, we scanned the QR code to check in, only to be prompted to enable location services on our phones if we want to check in. My girlfriend and I repeatedly followed the included instructions, having to squeeze through the crowd over and over to scan the code, and every time it refused to let us check in. I'm pretty tech savvy, and I spend all day on the computer/phone and I could not figure out how to check in- anyone from an older generation would have no chance. Eventually I made my way to the front counter and asked for assistance. When someone finally came to help, they informed us it was over an hour wait- so it seems like their geofencing precautions aren't succeeded at preventing people who aren't present from joining the queue, but rather angering customers who came and tried to follow their directions. read more

Food is good but not quite overpriced. Meal for 2 can easily totally up to $70++. Highly recommended to dine in instead of taking out. Missing items and ingredient for takeout are quite common. If you have to do takeout, try to order standard hotpot and not customize the order too much. read more

This is definitely the best hot pot place I have ever had. It's not the kind of hot pot where you get a big plate of items and get to dip them in, but as far as a delicious soup goes, this has to be up there. The service is always fairly slow, but the food quality and price makes up for it generally speaking. read more

I love Boiling Point. Going there or getting it take out or even DoorDash it's all been a great experience. Can't really go wrong eating here for dinner on a cool Fall day. My go to hot pot is the curry milk flavored medium spicy. Just be aware that medium is pretty spicy for those wondering. It has thinly sliced pork, corn, fish balls, vermicelli, imitation crab, and all kinds of other stuff. read more

They've really upped their health measures for COVID. Every employee wears masks and a face shield on top of that. You don't need to hand them your credit card, they have a little slot so you can swipe your credit card yourself. There's also shields in between each table and they're 6 feet a part- I have yet to see that kind of precaution taken anywhere else! I did still get takeout however, and the packaging is super nice. The items are all separated, the soup is in one big bowl, rice in another. They make sure to package all those delicious sauces as well on the side. And their chopsticks come wrapped in plastic, so you feel safe using their prepackaged utensils. This place is always great for good flavor on a nice gloomy day. I always get the beef hotpot, with a side of udon noodles and it never disappoints. They give you green or black tea as well when you order lunch. It's super comforting food and the spice level is just right for me. read more

This place is always a staple when we are craving pre-made hotpot. I always go back and forth between getting the beef pot, lamb pot and spicy Taiwanese pot. All three are delicious and come out so fast! We also get the cumin lamb appetizer which is a great starter and addition to our hotpot meals. Their drinks are equally delicious, the honey green tea is my favorite in particular. The jasmine green tea flavor with the slight sweetness from the honey makes this drink so addictingly refreshing. Service is always fast and the staff is very accommodating to our needs, love coming to this Edmonds BP location! read more

Double check your bill when you pay separately, because when you hit that % button you are paying tips for the entire table, we almost paid more than 50% tips tonight. How long have they been doing that? We don't know, how many people have they tricked? We don't know, but this is WRONG We asked the check separately on the table, they said that we can come to register and pay separately. So we went to the register and the cashier Lisa didn't say a word to us until we gradually figured it out and started to question her, she then claimed it's the system's problem but she had already fixed it, but did she? Who knows because we don't trust her anymore. On top of that, this Lisa clearly hates her job, she talks to her customers like a mom educating their kids, roll her eyes, blame customers instead of saying sorry, this type of behavior makes me wonder the integrity of this restaurant, if you are doing this to every customer, you are making your extra money in a shady and illegal way! Shame on you boiling point! *see picture for manually put in tip by the manager but the receipt still suggests tip for entire table even when my total is $45 read more

I really really really love this place! The soups they offer are amazing! The servers are always nice and friendly and very attentive! WARNING! Do not use their online ordering! I placed an order online. Picked it up and after an hour at home I realized they gave me 1 wrong soup out of the 3 I ordered. It was also spicy (I always get mild) so I couldn't just eat it. I called to get a refund (I live in Bothell so not easy on a Friday to just go back there) but they had to void something on their end and then I could email somewhere and explain the situation and then someone would get back to me. That is WAY too complicated for something that could be managed way easier! Moral, don't order online and trust that the order will be correct. Check before you leave the store!!! Very disappointed and still hungry!!! read more

I thought I rated this location already, I guess not. They took some stuff off the menu, but still everything was delicious including the sauce. They now added a few extra add ons such as for lunch $1 more to upgrade your free tea or double to meat. So far my favorite one is the house combo #1. The best part about it is the intestines and stinky tofu. The environment was laid back and the service was quick and friendly. Been here a few times and haven't had to wait to be seated like the one in downtown Seattle at all. Also ordered the Taiwanese combo and it was also delicious. Recommend this location. read more

Grabbed lunch on a Saturday morning with a friend right when they opened. I've been to BP all throughout Washington. This location is good because it is usually less crowded than other locations in ID or Bellevue. Got my usual curry fish ball with no cream. Just a heads up...their spice levels are definitely hotter than other places. Their mild is quite spicy! I get "no spice" in my curry fish ball, and it has a mild spice to it haha. BP complimentary tea is also clutch for lunch. I enjoy upgraded mine to a large for an extra $1. It has just the perfect amount of sweetness and tea taste. Great lunch spot! read more

Yumm yumm!!! Boiling fun. My first boiling point experience: better late than never I supposed. Also indoor dining!! I braced myself for it, totally worth it. Though I was on a time crunch: in and out in 30 minutes. With all the boiling, steaming and spicy fun. Not bad at all. A lot of food but not bad at all. Menu is simple/ they have 10 different soups. 3 are larger sizes. Spices and toppings varies. Also the flavors! I went with Beef spicy/ spicy beef with Very Spicy hot level. It's the hottest next to their flaming hot! Next time, I'm getting flaming hot! The sauces came out first. I didn't know what they were. Someone came to explained to me later on what to do / how to eat them :D Basically combine some in a bowl and dip your meat/ veggies in. Duh! So easy. The soup came prefilled and I guess precooked at least for the meat part. I got the #4 Beef hot soup and it has Napa cabbage, Vermicelli,Sliced beef, Enoki,Tomato, Tofu,Tempura Corn,MeatBall,Fish Cake,tofu skin, Crab stick! It's loaded. They do refill soup if you ask but from what I saw was just hot water refill. Not sure if I'm supposed to ask for a soup refill? But it was enough food. Overall, I was in and out in 30 minutes with cooking the hotpot and eating! I came in between time around 4:30 pm ( dinner menu), it was full but lines out the door when I left at 5 pm. Prices are pretty reasonable too. I just didnt know when to ask for the stove to be off or ya know, how to use 3 different sauces or how long do keep the pot boiling. But rookie stuff. Looking forward to coming back and trying more- Flaming hot spicy!! Oh yea, the steam! Super spicy steam. It's kind of like a free facial. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I had a great time here and the service was fantastic. Listen. I'm a Boiling Point expert. I've gone over 50 times in my home state of California. You can say I came in with high expectations. LOCATION & PARKING // Located in Edmonds, this is in a small plaza on a hill. There actually are parking spots here but it can be a little hit or miss depending on when you come. I arrived around 2pm on a Saturday and I was lucky that someone was leaving. There isn't a traditional parking lot, I guess. FOOD // This is my go-to order: BEEF HOT SOUP, FLAMING SPICY (this is the spiciest), WITH VERMICELLI - NO TOMATO, LESS NAPA, EXTRA CILANTRO. This place is definitely on par with other locations. The soup was flavorful and I didn't need to add any more spicy chili oil. SPICY CUMIN LAMB: This was SO GOOD. It was my first time eating this and I really didn't expect the kick this had. The lamb had a fantastic texture and the flavor wasn't too over the top but you could definitely taste the spicy cumin. PORK BELLY: This was also delicious! It had a garlicy type of sauce on it and it was sooooo fantastic. It was a fantastic appetizer to have before my hot pot. FERMENTED TOFU: I know that people either love this or hate this and I am definitely in the middle. I think it's fine but nothing special. I also don't hate it so... SERVICE // The service was OVER THE TOP GOOD. They were so incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire meal. AMBIANCE // The ambiance here is very "busy lunch"-like. There are always so many people in here and it's definitely loud... so just be aware. OVERALL // 5 stars I'm so happy this is my new BP location. You can find me here on the regular now. read more

I've been coming to this particular location for months and THEY ALWAYS GO ABOVE! I never leave unsatisfied. All the pots are delicious! I recommend eating at the restaurant vs ordering to go. (The one time I ordered to take out; it just wasn't the same. Still delicious though!) I am not a big spicy food fan, but the 1 level spice is always delicious! I recommend coming for lunch special because you choose a free green/black tea. read more

I came on a Monday afternoon and it was relatively fast to get a table. Plenty of dinning space. I had never done a hot pot but for my first experience it wasn't too bad!

The waiters were also constantly walking around making sure we were satisfied with everything. read more

Hubby and I wanted to try hotpot and saw BP on our drive while in Edmonds. It was super busy for a hot day, but we waited patiently as it seemed quite popular. The place was clean and casual. Seemed like a popular place. Service: When our turn came, our host brought us in but kept walking to the kitchen. We eventually figured out that the empty table she walked by was for us when she walked into the kitchen area. We probably should have done our homework before coming in too, because we didn't notice the 4x4 menu with a QR code that was tethered, hanging from the edge of our table. While we waited, 2 different waiters came by giving us orders that weren't ours. No big deal. Food: We each placed our own orders that had preset types of veggies/meats/soup flavors. There is a long list of available add-ons as well. You each have a mini stove right in front of you that they set your soup on so it stays HOT while you eat. Hubby loved this part, since he likes his soup boiling! We also got free iced teas, sweetened and unsweetened. It was a little uncomfortable to eat, as there were frequent sparks coming out from underneath my bowl, but maybe I'm also just too short for my seat All in all, 3 stars for good flavors, quick turn-around and simple, casual atmosphere. Docked for confused or uncommunicative waiters, but hey, I get it that there are busy days. I'll re-rate if/when I have another opportunity to visit again, but probably not anytime soon. I prefer the traditional way of keeping my food items fresh and dropping a quick boil when I'm ready to eat it. read more

Boiling Point - House special in the front, beef soup in the back, fermented tofu on the side - Taiwanese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and flavorful the hot pot was here! I've only ever had hot pot at home so this was my first time having it at a restaurant. I got the house special which had the basic veggies and meat with a light but flavorful broth. I got vermicelli noodles instead of the rice and got the free iced green tea with lunch which was so yummy! I had decided I would be back for more after my 3rd bite! The only small complaint was that we waited a good 20 mins after we were seated for our order to be taken and had to flag down a waitstaff. read more

Boiling Point - House special - Taiwanese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

This hotpot chain is embarrassing. They constantly miss items and you can clearly tell they do not care about their product. I got a total of four bowls. One bowl, all the meat was clumped together, which means they just grabbed it and threw it in without separating the meat at all. So basically im biting into a chink of meat instead of slices. One dish missed the I love BP fish cake.... Like really?? Another one the udon looked burnt. If it wasnt burnt then i have no idea why it was dark brown. Each bowl was overly crowded with cabbage... Like insane amount of cabbage. I keep telling my wife to stop ordering from this location as the workers clearly do not care. This isn't the only location that simply sucks. This chain is goong downhill, clearly focusing on profits and not the food. read more

I have LOVED coming to boiling point back when they opened a long time ago. There is an experience I had today that made me change my mind. The food is amazing, but the service made me mad. I guess at this location you're not allowed to go to the bathroom without someone putting trash into your food? What makes the situation worse is the worker asked someone in my party if we were ready for the table to be cleaned up, and they said it wasn't ready because I still needed to put my food in the To-go box. As I'm following the worker to my table, I sit down and find trash in my food. (Keep in mind it was the most full bowl at the table, and had an empty to-go box next to it with the digestive snack next to it as well). Why would you ask if the table is ready to clean up if you already started? It's one thing not to ask, I would totally understand. But to ask after you already started bothered me. I didn't even touch my food and they simply put all the trash at my table into my bowl. The supervisor was very kind, and gave me a free to-go for this inconvenience. But still frustrating and upsetting to see your food full of trash, and an empty to-go box next to it. I recommend going to the bathroom before you're ready to pay, because they'll just treat your meal like it like a trash can. read more

The food is pretty consistent in all locations. I used to prefer coming here over the downtown location but the service from my most recent visit makes me want to think again. I came here with my sister right when they opened on Saturday. The servers gave us the option to sit at a table further away from the other patrons which we took but regret. We were maybe the fourth table there and although the workers kept looking at our table, they took more than 15 minutes to greet us/take our order. In fact, the restaurant filled up pretty quickly and we watched almost all the tables get their food and drinks before us. In addition we had to ask for our sides & water multiple times . We are generally lenient when it comes to service (we both worked in the food industry) but this was disappointing. I hope this was just an off day. read more

Very busy and pretty loud restaurant. The seating is a little crowded inside. I was not really expecting that each entree is basically premade pots. Thankfully if you don't want something in the pot, you can ask for it not to be put in. Very cool concept because it makes it easier for everyone including the cooks and servers. I prefer AYCE more. It's very cool that each dish comes with its own pot and a flame on the bottom. What I had a problem with was when the server came to put the food on the table, he placed my dish in front of my toddler with a fire on the bottom!!! There was plenty of room to place it in front of me! It is definitely not family friendly because of all the noise and music. Don't get me wrong I would have enjoyed the vibe with my friends, but not with my baby. There was barely any meat in the pots. So if you had gotten no veggies like my friend had gotten you would either want to pay extra for meat or get a pot with barely anything in it. Some of the broth weren't as tasty. We left the place hungry. Someone mentioned the ice teas and I got that. That was surprisingly good. As I mentioned before, definitely wouldn't recommend for a family friendly outing. read more

It was a last minute decision to try this place since it was close by. We were quite hungry after a hike at Franklin Falls (you should definitely do that hike, btw). Individual hot pots are a thing now which is good and bad. Good - everyone can choose whatever soup base, protein, and veggie they want, don't have to compromise with your dinner date or friends. The individual pots are more than enough for 1 person unless you are super hungry. Not quite enough for 2 hungry people. Bad - missing the meaning/fun of traditional hot pot where a group of people gather around a hot pot. I got the Thai fusion which wasn't bad if you like spicy soup. Note that their spicy level is off. My brother got mild beef soup and he said it was still spicy. So beware.. Pots are preloaded with your chosen veggies and meat/seafood already in the pot so you don't have to drop them in the pot as you go. Overall, I would come back to try a different broth. read more

I love this place ! It's like eating soup on a rainy day! Seating at this location is awesome because Bellevue, Seattle, and Tukwila are always busy on the weekends. I ordered House Special with glass noodles. The soup came within minutes to me, but one star off for the waitress forgot to bring the noodles to me until my friend had to flag down another waitress for our rice and noodle. The soup comes with veggies and pork with fermented tofu. Yum yum yum! I mixed that garlic soy sauce with peanut sauce to bring that extra oomph to the taste for my dipping sauce for the meat. It was very good! I'd recommend this place if you're nearby or live in Lynwood because I know I wouldn't like the wait in South Seattle. read more

I had tried Boiling Point in all 3 locations I believe in Washington. They are all delicious and decent price for lunch time, also if you go on lunch time. They give you a free 16oz of green tea or black tea. There is a little downside to every BP. The one thing I hope they changes in the future is putting a little more meats on there pot instead of vegetables and mostly cabbage! It's understandable that you can add more meat to your pot. Second, there service is pretty decent. Nothing more to add on. But they are doing there job as quick as they can. Since Bp are usually busy every time I go. My favorite pot to get is the Creamy Milk Curry! For me personally I think it's the best because I love anything that have a curry touch to it. Overall BP is a great place to visit if your craving for your ow personal bowl of hot pot. read more
