Literally the worst Boiling Point I have ever been to in my life. The service was the worst I have ever witnessed. Even though there were 5-6 employees gathered at the register area when we came in, it took over 10 minutes for them to take our order, and even then we had to flag someone down to do so. The server who took our order, Mary, came off as very disinterested and standoffish, and did not interact with us for the rest of the meal. I also witnessed her "pretending" to do work by "helping" other people clean tables. She would literally follow other servers around and grab two pieces of trash after they cleaned most of the table instead of engaging with other customers. During the 45 minutes that we were dining, not a single server came to refill our water, hot soup, or turn off our fire. We had to flag down someone multiple times while the other servers were standing around on their phones or doing random tasks. I witnessed several servers doing things such as prefilling future customers water cups and sweeping the already clean floors instead of engaging with any of their current customers. At one point, I even had to walk to the front counter to grab my own water refills, which is completely ridiculous when there are 5-6 available employees. After the meal, I asked to speak to the supervisor to state my complaints and was told that the employees were busy doing "side tasks" since it was rush hour. However, it was currently 3:30 PM at the time. What restaurant has a rush hour at 3:30 PM? Furthermore, if there are at least 5-6 employees, there should be at least one employee designated to serving their current customers instead of doing "side tasks." The only redemption for this restaurant was that the hot pot itself was delicious, but however seeing that it is a chain restaurant, that should be the expected bare minimum. This was the worst service I have ever experienced and I will never be returning to this specific BP location. read more

Standards were higher comparing this BP location to the Seattle locations (even the SJ one, which is ok) Came by Saturday evening around 7:30. Probably 2/3 empty. Comparing to Seattle ones, this one definitely lacks in service, speed, and attentiveness. Fully open, but staff had us in a squished table for 2. Then put another table at a bigger table (for 4) which was weird since I had requested it earlier and there were multiple tables open. Two of us ordered: beef hot soup $21.85 +$1 for scallion gravy rice which was good milk cream curry $21.85 no cream Green tea with boba $5.90, pricey end. Green tea is still good, but boba was mushy and cup was mostly ice. Lychee green tea $6.25 was average. Could've been better as I'm definitely familiar with a good BP experience. Cali locations need to pick it up. Parking in the lot is relatively easy. read more

Disclaimer: I'm not a hotpot fan so take my review with a grain of salt. I used to only eat the rice and pork appetizers here but this time I tried the Japanese Miso. I think the name is a little misleading in my opinion since although it's Japanese (or even the "Korean" one), it still just tastes Taiwanese. It's good enough to be honest, but I'm not sure it's worth the price... I wish they had a small option for all of the menu items but I'm not sure why the Japanese Miso has to be a large. I also upgraded to the new beefy tomato rice, and honestly I'd just stick to the scallion one. It was a bit salty so it was not my cup of tea. Again, I'm not the biggest fan of hotpot, so take my review with a grain of salt! read more

Sadly this location is still one a star. We ordered a mild beef soup and it was just too f'n spicy. I couldn't enjoy it and it just felt like my mouth was burning. I thought it was the sauce, but no, it was actually the entire soup. Mind you, I'm not allowed to have spicy food. Not sure if their cook just decided to throw an entire spoonful of hot sauce but that was not mild. Never coming back here again. read more

Came here and ordered two #9 Japanese Miso Hot Soup, one spicy and one mild; #8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup, and #11 Thai Flavor Hot Soup. I had a chance to try all four soups and here are my thoughts: the miso was refreshing, and it world be good if you're looking for something light. The Taiwanese Spicy is definitely spicy if that's what you are looking for, and Thai Flavor if you're in the mood for Tom Yum. Service is petty fast, and the ambiance is quiet. read more

Lamb hot soup was pretty decent. BP isn't usually my first pick because I'm not fan of the small portion of meat and the lack of heat control. If you're someone that likes convenience and variety, BP is probably your place, but if you like to have more control over what you want to eat, then ayce hot pot or something similar may be a better option for you. read more

Boiling Point - #5 Lamb Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

Went here yesterday with a friend. We both used to come to this location as fresh college grads, so many years later, this spot was sentimental to us. I ordered the beef hot pot, and I found the flavor pretty good and the ingredients were just enough. For a Monday night, this place wasn't too crowded either and service was fast. If you are craving hot pot and want something quick and satisfying, this is the place to go. :) read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

Stopped in for lunch having no idea what I was in for. Colleague swore it was good and said I had to try. Was so glad I did! You pick your boiling soup off the menu and your side and they bring to the table on a box with sterno. They light the fire and the soup gets hotter as you eat it. I got the no. 6 milk cream curry with rice as a side. Comes with a drink so I got The green tea. Soup was so delicious. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Only regret was I should have got noodles instead of rice. Ordered medium spice but didn't have any kick at all. My colleague got mild and it was very spicy so I think they mixed up the order a little. He was sweating and didn't finish! It's very industrial inside, spartan but clean Service was good, they checked in and eventually shut off my fire once my soup was at a roiling boil. Immediately looked for a place close to home to try again! read more

I m biased since mini hotpot is not my thing, the pots here are adequate, broth was bland imo, for instance the sour cabbage lamb pot i couldnt taste either ingredients in the broth.

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

This location of Boiling Point is located in the Mission Square where the parking can definitely be challenging during peak hours. It's a decent sized lot but with so many popular restaurants and a supermarket sharing the same lot. We've only been here a handful of times as we go to the location in San Jose. Usually, my go tos are the... Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup: sweet milk cream combined with exotic curry spices and a pinch of sea salt with pork, corn, tempura, Napa, Vermicelli, sliced pork, seafood mushroom, Imitation crab stick, fish ball, fried tofu skin, potato, Chinese & String Bean. Lamb Hot Soup: Napa, Vermicelli, sliced lamb, seafood mushroom, Imitation crab stick, fish cake, fried tofu skin, pork blood, pickled mustard Greens, shimeji mushroom, clam, firm tofu, tempura, egg, green onions, cilantro. It used to be too loud and noisy inside, though, it's better now. read more

The menu has a decent variety of soups, meat quality and flavor is pretty good, and I love the personalized pot concept! It comes ready to eat but you can let the soup gradually boil Their fish tofu / cakes are very yummy too. Pricing is on the higher side relative to the meat quantity but it is a solid hot pot choice. The spice levels can sometimes be inconsistent (a little spicier than expected) They also give a compliment aiyu jelly drink at the end of your meal :) read more

Oh, hot pot how I love thee. Yes, I absolutely eat hot pot in the middle of summer. I'm a big fan of Tasty Pot, but hands down, Boiling Point takes the crown. The meat quality is noticeably better, the rice portions are more generous, and their green tea? Incredible. The broth is rich and flavorful, the instant noodles are perfectly springy, and the fish cake and imitation crab are soft, chewy, and super yummy. The service is always fast and efficient--they're consistently on top of things. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. One small tip: maybe avoid going right when they open. Occasionally, there's a faint sewer-like smell probably just one of the quirks of Fremont but it goes away quickly as the day goes on. All in all, it's a must-try. You're going to love it read more

Love this place & I always come back!! They almost always have promotional deals on their app or instagram, so be sure to check those out! My only minor complaint is that service is a little slow-- I think they are a bit understaffed the few times I've come. But that's ok because the soup is totally worth it! read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

Came here for my friend's birthday and it was pretty cool. They have a birthday promo so you get one soup and drink for free. The selection is pretty basic and if you are the type that doesn't like too many options. This is probably a good spot for you. For the price I feel like it's a pretty fair serving. However, for most foodies, this is probably not something I would recommend. It is a good spot for a team meeting maybe or a birthday during lunch because the place is nice and the service is fast... but in terms of the actual food, it's nothing to call home about. If you were looking for a meal that isn't fast food then this place is fine. read more

Came to eat here last Sunday around 2pm and was instantly seated. The lamb hot pot comes with a lot of delicious ingredients, plus a free green or black tea. You can choose to get a bowl of rice or vermicelli noodles with your meal. I love that they give pork blood to your hot pot! I usually don't see that as a topping in other places ive went to eat before. Theres a nice fish cake that says "i love bp" on it which I thought was a nice touch. The soup was very delicious! Overall I would eat here again if I was in the area and try out different drinks as well. read more

This is our first time coming to Boiling Point. The reviews kind of deterred us from coming here, but we gave it a try since we're pretty close by. I have to say, they're not as customizable as Tasty Pot and surprisingly, they're even more expensive. For their small Beef Pot, it's $22 which is the same price as Tasty Pot's larger beef pot (more variety, more meat and larger portions). We wanted to order the comparable pot here (Taiwanese Spicy) but they weren't able to accommodate the spice level (flaming only). I asked if they could swap out the broth or not put in the spicy sauce and they said no. It's the pot we always get at Tasty Pot and they're able to reduce the spiciness. Overall though, I do have to say that the food is good. If that's all you're here for, you have a winner. Even at mild, it has a kick so thank goodness we didn't give the flaming hot Taiwanese Spicy pot a try. The beef here I prefer over tasty pot's beef. The flavors are good and overall, it is delicious. I just wish the prices were just a bit more competitive. We'll definitely be back on occasions. read more

Theeeeee best individual hot pot spot. Generous portions and the garlic bean paste is to die for. Beef hot pot is the go-to, if you're really hungry get an extra side of shrimp or beef. One criticism is I wish their to-go packaging was better. I've done takeout and the container spills everywhere. They're a bit stingy with the sauce as that's the best part. Always get extra. read more

Meeting all my hot pot cravings, Boiling Point had great quality food for a great price. Both my Fiance and I were stuffed with the extra vermicelli and delicious jelly drink included with the bill. I ordered the miso soup which I didn't realize had shrimp in it, and unfortunately I'm allergic. Luckily, the staff was kind enough to quickly make me a version without the shrimp and were very polite about it. read more

TL;DR: Come here for the filling Beef Hot Pot and the refreshing well made Fruit and Tea drinks. parking: - the parking lot is typically 90% packed each time we come here but we have yet to have issues finding parking. wait time: - zero wait time. ambiance: - modern and tasteful dining experience but don't look too closely as layers of dirt exist if you look too closely. service: - depending on the time of the day the service can be attentive or slow. At times our drinks have been incorrectly made as a few servers fail to repeat back and verify the orders. Fortunately, the servers have no issue with re-making the drink. food: [Worth It] - Beef Hot Pot: this is the winning flavor here! It is hearty, filling, and piping hot. With the size, it could easily be shared between two females. - Passionfruit Amber Oolong Tea with less sugar: refreshing tea that has a nice flavor of authentic passionfruit. - Grapefruit Amber Oolong Tea with regular sugar: another refreshing drink that is best suited with a regular amount of sugar to balance the sour taste of grapefruit. - Honey Green Tea with less sugar: Another refreshing option with genuine green tea leaves. [Not Worth It] - House Special: not my cup of tea due to the overpowering fermented tofu. this is definitely not for the faint of heart. - Thai Tomato: I did not enjoy this at all as it had a heavy murky flavor. restroom: - 2 unisex restrooms that are moderately clean. read more

I used to be a big fan of this place. Years ago when BP hasn't made its way up to northern California, we used to drive down to LA just to have it. Not any more. I am sorry to say, but this chain has gone down hill since then and has hit rock bottom. Service is nonexistent. Staff remembers just hide in the kitchen chitchat to avoid contact with customers. Soup base is bland, but that's not the worst part. The square metal box that holds the metal bowl is filthy! I was shocked and completely grossed out to see massive rotten food debris still stuck on to the bottom of the box, especially around the corners. It is utterly disgusting. I don't think they ever wash these things. Rotten food debris and green gooie mold just inches away from my food. This is a health hazard and against the health code. It is unacceptable and has to be changed immediately. They will be hearing from the health department soon. This place needs to be shut down. Eat at your own risk. read more

Sometimes I get an intense craving for BP/TP, but that's usually for lunch combos that are far more worth it. These bowls + extra carb (rice/vermicelli) come to about $22, while drinks average $6-$7. Beef Mild: 4/5, usual portion and yummy + the mild has a kick! (I have a lower spice tolerance.) Let's be real, the sauce makes your meal, and boiling point has always had the superior sauce combos. I will keep returning because one BP meal lasts me up to three meals, as did this one when I took my leftovers home. Service was okay. I could barely hear our server, so I had to repeat our orders a few times and didn't quite catch some of her questions until a few seconds later. But, an out her helped us and offered me a small tupperware for taking sauce home (my favorite part) which was nice. It was also pretty packed with waitlist on a Friday night, so understandable that they took awhile to come around. read more

I was a guest with my god daughter and her parents. Long wait on a weekday lunch (40 minutes). Inattentive young staff. I feel like they're missing a manager / owner presence.

Nothing beats a warm pot of delicious soup and fatty beef slices. My partner and I are huge fans of their beef pot and winter melon tea.

I tried boiling point for the first time in SoCal and loved it so I am glad there is a location in NorCal. Although it cost a little more, there typically isn't a line at this location. We usually come here for lunch because they come with free green or black (wintermelon sometimes) tea. We walk in and already know what we would like to order so always appreciate when the employees come to our tables shortly after being seated. We've been here enough times that we get a mixture of service. Some days it's really good, the employees are walking around. On other days, they'll stay near the kitchen and it is difficult to flag them down even when it's empty. Also, the spice levels aren't always consistent. I would get a mild and medium dish and they would both taste the same level of spicy. Boiling point has a pretty consistent ambiance compared to their other locations. This location in particular is larger than most, which helps with the wait times. read more

Boiling point is always a solid place for hot pot. It hits for the nostalgic cravings from back when I was in high school. Their broth is very hearty and the soups come out really quickly. I love how it's kept warm with the little heat gel underneath since I love my soups hot. The dipping sauces on the side are my favorite, I always get rice to eat with my soup to soak in all the broth. The little jelly they give you afterwards is such a good palette cleanser. It's always been kept clean over the years and the workers are nice too :) read more

This is quite a good spot for a quick lunch! My dad and I went on a weekday during lunch hours. There were a lot of people there but we got seated right away. The location is in a plaza so there is a lot of parking. For lunch, we get a free green tea with our meal which is great! I got the Korean pot and my dad got the lamb pot. It was at a perfect amount of spice and flavoring and I love how it could be split into two meals. I'll make sure to share a pot next time :) read more

I used to really like coming here. The food is good but not sure if it's worth the price anymore. I am glad they at least offer unlimited rice to try and make up the difference. The staff at night are also friendlier than those in the day I've noticed. My main concern with this location is that I came to redeem the birthday promotion announced on their Instagram. It says that the birthday person would receive a free soup AND drink but when I went, they said you only get to choose one. I don't mind having to pay but I just wish it was clearer or they would honor what the post said. read more

Boiling Point always hits the spot on a gloomy day or when you're recovering/ hungover xD Been a big fan of BP since SoCal so really happy they've expanded to NorCal. BP really shines in their sauces, sooo good. I love adding all 4 together. These are my favorites: - beef (comes with vermicelli too) - house special (but remove intestines, it's stinky too lol) - milk cream curry TIP: ask for more broth halfway through TIP: upgrade your rice for 75¢, has more umami yumm :3 TIP: go for lunch, it's a better bang for your buck and you also get a free tea TIP: don't forget to use their rewards app. You also get a free birthday meal each year (: 3 stars since Fremont location is a bit lackluster. It's not as busy though so no wait times usually. The service is so so, they don't really check in on you. I also feel the location at Hostetter tastes better... Boba / drinks are also not that good here idk why. read more

Boiling Point - both beef hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

We love Boiling Point, and even though it's far, we decided to order takeout since it's a special occasion. But what a letdown! The staff was friendly. The food was delicious, with enough flavor and many sauce packets and soup. However, it's best to AVOID ordering takeout from here if they have a promotion. The promotion they have going on is the buy one get one free hot pot. When I went in around noon, I was told it was only for dine-in--that's understandable. Then they told me it would be dinner price with no complimentary teas because they needed to accommodate those dining in. It's pretty outrageous to me, but we did not travel for almost an hour to not bring anything home. While the food is delicious, I don't think this is the way to do business. read more
