#9 Japanese Miso Hot Soup
Ryan C.

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!

#9 Japanese Miso Hot Soup
Faith C.

Haven't been here in yeaaaarrrs. Thought it was fine. Boiling Point pros: - wintermelon tea option (typically places offer green or black) - big double sauce tray - solid meat quantity They use BEEF broth for all their bowls except veggie!! Most places (including Tasty Pot) use pork, I believe. Staff was nice and accommodating (':

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.

#5 Lamb Hot Soup
Rony Q.

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.

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Charisse M.

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. :)

#6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup was so amazing
Randy D.

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!

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. It was almost like putting the ingredients in hot water. The lamb & beef were descent quality Spicy fermented tofu ik, i prefer the changsha flavor

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Natalie C.

Easiest my favorite hot pot place of all time! A must visit when I'm in the area. Their beef hot soup is so well balanced and wonderful every time! Service is quick and the inside is on the chilly side but you'll warm up quick!

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.

Umami Beef Rice
Ethan W.

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 :)

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

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Vivian L.

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!

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.

See all

Are they reopened for indoor seating yet?

I was there last weekend and they were not open for indoor seating.

Does anyone know if they are opened during this shelter in place/coronavirus pandemic?

Yes, they are open! M-F: 12:00-9:00pm Sat-Su: 12:00-9:30pm

What do the birthday person get on the app?

$10 off your order- expires in 9 days of your birthday. E.g birthday on 01/01 expires 01/09

How come the menus no longer describe what's in each soup anymore in the small menu in the front? Like my mom is looking at house special and has to try and figure out what is in there by eyeballing the picture? Just sat down and normal menu has it

I'm sure you can ask for the normal menu before you sit down to look at the description!

Is this BP location open on Christmas?

Hi Isabel, yes our Fremont location will be open 11am-11pm on Christmas Day.

Does the food all come already in the pot or you throw it in yourself so everything won't be overcooked?

It comes all in the pot already, they set the pot down in front of you then they light it. No substitutions.

What kind of noodles can you order as a side?

Hi Linda! We offer wok noodle, instant noodle, udon, and vermicelli.

Is the birthday person free?

No they don't do that here.

Do they use MSG in their soup base?

yes

How much for kids?

Same price

I drive past this hot pot location so many times and always wanted to try it. My boyfriend and I…read moredecided to try on a Friday night. There was a lot of open seating so we sat down pretty immediately. We decided to get the two half broth: Cantonese bone broth and mushroom broth. Both broths were very good and fragrant. I enjoyed drinking it. We were given a QR code to scan and order. I was pretty disappointed that there weren't many options to pick from and out of the ones that were on the menu, a lot of them were grayed out. The prices seemed fair initially until the food arrived. The proportions were incredibly little. The angus beef only had 5 slices (though big, you can eat it in one bite). While nothing tasted bad, the value and options made the experience very underwhelming for a whopping $75 for two people. They charge almost $20 for the broth too which I think is unreasonable. Unfortunately I don't think I'd come back even though everything tasted great due to the price point when I can go to a similar restaurant and get more for my value with similar/about-the-same taste

Ordering was easy, you scan a QR code and place your order directly from your phone. It's AYCE hot pot, though there are some items and specialty broths that come with an additional charge. Only a few broths are included in the base price, and certain sides also cost extra, which slightly defeats the purpose of "all-you-can-eat." Just something to be aware of when ordering. There's a small self-serve salad and sauce bar, and the night we visited they also had a beef out, which was a nice touch. A little taste before our main dishes came out For broths, we ordered the Tom Yum, a bone broth, and one of the spicy broths (the first one listed on the menu) for an additional charge. The broths were incredibly flavorful when they first came out. But, after a few refills, they definitely lost some depth. The Tom Yum in particular was soo good. I dont think I've tasted a better Tom Yum at a hot pot place before - only thing is it had lime rinds in it presumably to keep the tangy flavor that Tom Yum typically has but over time the broth turned slightly bitter from the rind. Pro tip: if you order Tom Yum, scoop the lime out early to avoid that bitterness. The meat quality was excellent -- tender, fresh, and really the highlight of the meal. No complaints there at all. Service, was quite slow for a weekday. There appeared to be only one server managing about four tables, including ours. We went through two to three rounds of meat before any of our sides arrived. Overall, the pricing felt fair for the quality of the meat and the experience. Despite a few hiccups, I'd come back.

I visited Legend Hot Pot & Grill in Newark and really enjoyed the experience. One of the best parts…read moreabout this spot is that you don't have to choose between KBBQ and hot pot, you can have both, which makes it great for groups with different cravings!! I ordered the Tom Yum broth for the hot pot, which is my go-to, and it did not disappoint. It had a nice balance of tangy and savory flavors and paired well with the ingredients. For the BBQ, I noticed that the marinades and flavors were more bold and intense compared to other places I've been to. It's definitely a bit different from the typical KBBQ spots, but in a good way if you're looking to try something new. Overall, I left very full and satisfied. It's a solid option if you're looking for variety and a flavorful dining experience and with great service.

I'm surprised it isn't talked about more because I was honestly really impressed during my visit! The biggest standout for me was the barbecue. The meats tasted noticeably different from other AYCE spots I've tried, and I'm almost certain it comes down to the marinade. The flavor was deeper and more balanced, and it didn't have that overly salty or generic taste that some AYCE places can have. Everything felt well seasoned and intentional, and you can really taste the difference. The meats were tender and cooked beautifully on the grill! The hot pot was also enjoyable and added another layer to the meal. We ordered both the tom yum and miso soup bases, which paired well with the ingredients we chose. There was also a good selection of sides and add ons that helped round out the whole experience so it didn't feel repetitive. It's on a conveyor belt too! Another thing I appreciated was the service. The employees were very nice and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had what we needed and clearing plates quickly so the table never felt crowded. Overall this was a really solid experience and definitely a place I would come back to if I'm craving both hot pot and barbecue in one meal.
