    It had been over 15 years since I last had Boiling Point and I was in the mood for hot pot so I gave this a try. I ordered it via DoorDash and there were no problems with the way the food was packaged, other than forgetting to include the utensils. I checked the box for them too! I am definitely going to be doing this again! The food was so good! I got their #1 house special hot soup with an add-on of mined braised pork rice. Both were fantastic. The house special was loaded with so many ingredients including, clams, stinky tofu, tomatoes, and a generous portion of sliced pork. The braised minced pork rice looked like it wouldn't taste very good but it was really delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside was how the room smelled afterwards because of the stinky tofu but I love the smell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sorry to everyone else around me LOL

    Introduction & discussion My only issue with this hot pot spot is the looong wait. But then again, I don't know if this is a normal thing for hot pot. Any professionals, inform me in the comments. Trust me, after the wait was over--the result was amazing. ! additional info for newcomers to hotpot, read next review for more info ! If you are knew to hot pot, keep in mind few things. You will enter, place your order, wait a few minutes and you recieve drinks and noodles. Wait a while, then you get the pot with the soup. Let it cook and enjoy. After you get the bill. Allergies & Preferences Just in case anyone is wondering about spice or allergies: The waiters will ask you about how spicy your soup is beforehand. Review Well, back to the review...I was pleased during my visit in boiling point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is a bit crowded, but there is a bit of space between the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is amazing. The staff were so patient. When I accidentally dropped my chopsticks, they immediately came and help. They greeted us from the beginning, helped us out with honesty and patience, that I will thank them for. To conclude this review, the food was excellent. Loved the beef soup with the vegetables and the soup base. Thank you Boiling Point for the amazing experiance. Excited to come again soon.

    Stopped by with a friend to satisfy my hot pot craving - this boiling point location does not disappoint! Service was quick and friendly on a weekday afternoon. Parking isn't too difficult in the plaza. The food is great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music can be a bit loud sometimes which makes catching up and chatting a bit difficult.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is an also bit cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The AC could definitely be a bit better too- it gets warm especially when eating hot soup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've been wanting to try the hot pot at Boiling Point for so long. Boiling Point is the top destination for Individual Hot Pot, specializing in personalized portions made with very fresh ingredients. Their signature hot soups are inspired by authentic Taiwanese flavors. Hot soups were served, along with sides of rice or vermicelli and iced teas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the staff were very attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went during lunch hour and I waited outside the restaurant for less than ten minutes, but it was worth the wait. I ordered the Japanese Miso Hot Soup with a side of vermicelli. The Japanese Miso Hot Soup is a savory and comforting dish featuring seafood such as crab, shrimp, and clams, and a rich miso broth. It includes vegetables, pork slices, dried tofu slices, and udon, providing a savory "umami" flavor. I immediately drenched the vermicelli into the hot broth and once the vermicelli was cooked, I took them out and put them inside a bowl. The vermicelli was delicious, so are the seafood, tofu, and vegetables. I would go back to Boiling Point and try their other hot soups sometime when the outdoor temperature is cool or chilly. Plenty of parking.

    I came here on a Thursday night around 8 pm. Typically we don't go to boiling point because there's usually a long wait. We put ourselves on the waitlist and it only took about 15 minutes before we got seated. You scan a QR code for the menu. There was a milk tea deal for 50% off from 3 pm-closing. I got the seafood and hot tofu soup, mild. It was fine, but I recall when I've had this at other boiling points previously, it came with a small baby octopus and fish balls filled with roe or something, which they didn't have either of these this time. I got the Cha jelly milk tea as part of the 50% off milk tea deal. I liked this drink as it didn't have a strong tea flavor and the jelly added some texture to the drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Relatively smaller location compared to Garden Grove and Irvine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    It's Friday and it's lunchtime me and a good friend decided let's find a good place to eat. That's a little different than our Friday and usual Korean barbecue so we found this place the one and only boiling point in Gardena getting there was not too bad coming from the 91 freeway just right off of Western Avenue getting into the parking area and where the food is really off the street so you gotta go through the side driveway to get to the parking lot in the back. After you find parking, you'll find the entrance to boiling point double doors and you'll be greeted with the waiter or waitress and you can see the number of tables in front of you. It's just a long narrow hallway with both seating on on both side of the wall and the cash register and food area is to your left. I count roughly about 1415 tables that can seat up two pairs of two with front to back enough room to put two hot pot stove with a little bit of room in between for a bowl of rice or noodle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment is not fancy, but it is lively and average noise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is perfect for a couple or a pair but anything bigger than that you might as well find a different boiling point or a restaurant altogether definitely recommending for smaller groups of twos separated by tables[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I highly recommend getting there if you want for lunchtime right after 11 AM we got there roughly around 11:38 AM and there was only two tables of seating up to two left. I have not been to this particular one, but I am going to recommend it because it is just fantastic. Boiling point does not disappoint. I guess another way of saying that is highly recommending boiling point. It is the best if not the best. Well, I tried the Taiwanese spicy soup that has combination of all the inner my buddy got the typical beef soup with medium spice. All I can really say is the food and soup is phenomenal. I'm talking about it can literally make you be full and a good feeling of being full with good food combination of noodles, vegetables, proteins, and a little kick of spice or you can add a little bit more since they have side sauces for you to use. I am highly recommending this place. Lastly the staff hair is always helping you making sure you are satisfy and meet all your needs. The lovely Sammi was always a tentative to our table ensuring we have what we need. Making sure if we needed more fire or more soup it was just awesome.

    $7.64 - full of ice!

    Review for their shady business - $7.64 later, you get a cup full of ice. See picture and video!

    Boiling Point prices have definitely gone up in recent years. It's still delicious and satisfies your hot point cravings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's relatively clean, when you come in you can waitlist on the iPad or they'll have a QR code for you to scan[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This BP location is in a very busy plaza with lots of dining options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd recommend coming before 6pm if you don't want to wait long. We always come before 6 since it's easy to park and we never have to wait more than 15 mins to get a table. Come later, parking can be a pain to find in the plaza and the waits become much longer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also one of the smaller BP locations I've been too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One downside to this location is probably the slow-ish service. Mainly in that, you really have to get their attention for anything (ordering, water, napkins, check, etc.). They're not proactive with the service, but when you do ask for something, they do it right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sometimes I'll see a table left alone without be cleaned for a while.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reminder - you can ask them to turn off your flame if it's too hot for you, ask for more flame if it's dying out or ask for more broth if you're running low. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of their options, it's really a matter of what you're craving and levels of spice. Each order comes with rice or vermicelli. You'll get a good mix of carbs, veggies, proteins. Safe options would be the beef since the house has stinky tofu that can take over the dish If you're not a fan of stinky tofu. I like stinky tofu, but not in their broth Other favorites of mine are the milk cream curry and lamb. Sometimes, they'll have a pomelo one as well and that's pretty good. I don't usually get a large options, but miso is good and if you like spicy, try the Taiwanese spicy. It's a blast. Overall a good BP location and the closest one for me to visit.

    #8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup
    Juan H.

    Boiling Point Gardena has honestly been one of my go-to spots for years, but I never really took the time to write a review until now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and always has that busy lively feeling that makes it feel comforting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food has always been consistently good, especially the lunch special. The portions are actually pretty big for the price and always leave me full. What really made this visit stand out though was the service from the new trainee Michale. He was super attentive, friendly, and kept checking in on us throughout the meal. Normally the service at Boiling Point can feel a little mediocre, so it was really refreshing to see someone putting in genuine effort and making customers feel welcomed. Definitely wanted to give him credit for that.

    Taiwanese Spicy minus blood and intestines
    Ali I.

    Boiling point is always satisfying when you are craving soup. Not too many places in the Southbay you can get Taiwanese/hot pot style soups so this is def a gem. If there are items in the soup you don't want you can just ask them to take them out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It does get busy so I always try to go during off times. Never has been an issue for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seats are super hard so I brought in my donut pillow lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't been here in years but most recently I got their Taiwanese Spicy. Comes in a large size and I def had leftovers. Spicy wise it is pretty spicy but if you like spicy food you'll be fine. If you're a medium spicy person it will prob be too spicy for you. I added more of their chili sauces for flavor. Usually I don't order drinks but I got a winter melon tea and the iced sweet drink paired well with the spicy soup.

    Beef, no spice, with noodles and winter melon tea
    Karen S.

    As always, a visit here is a must when we're in town! Yes. The line and wait is long. Ah, as long as you have time, it's worth the wait! Had the beef (no spice) with extra cilantro. Used all the sauces except the chili, so there was a slight kick but not too much;)! Managed to almost finish my whole pot! Cheryl did the best at cleaning up her hot pot, I was second, and Jeni had to leave some in her pot unfinished. We were so stuffed we could barely breathe, ha ha! We chose noodles over rice, which comes pre packed ! They chose green tea and I chose the winter melon tea. Yum!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, great staff teamwork on moving guests through their dining experience so others may also enjoy, and their restroom is clean, spacious and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Careful, the door is heavy...) Thanks again and we'll be back! Oh, they have a summer bowl special with Lu Wei appetizer. Do check that out!

    Cassie D.

    Yes, in summertime we still eat hot soup. Lol My husband and I arrived about 10-15 minutes early and were second in line. Fernando, who was working that day, was so nice and offered to add our name to the list right away--I really appreciated that because not all places do this. Some restaurants make you feel like you're a bother if you show up early, but here we felt welcomed. The food was excellent! I ordered the Miso and my husband had the Curry. We also tried the Garlic Pork appetizer, which was delicious. The portions were very generous--we both ended up asking for to-go bowls. We also signed up for the rewards program, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back. Overall, an awesome place with great food and friendly service!

    Lunch special (one entree and a drink), also got a side via influencer promo code
    Luke B.

    Pretty small location, so it gets busy fast. Expect to wait during the dinner rush. Lunch is probably the best time to go due to less crowds plus their lunch special is a good deal. Food is decent. When it gets busy you have to hunt down the staff and ask if you want your flame turned off or your water refilled. Otherwise they're super friendly.

    King Plus Shabu Shabu is so much more than just a hot pot restaurant. We started our evening on the…read moreoutdoor patio with their bar menu, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. The house poke salad was fresh and flavorful, the pan-fried pork gyoza had a crispy exterior with a juicy filling, and the grilled jumbo scallop and shrimp skewers were cooked perfectly. The Wagyu ribeye yakitori was incredibly tender and full of smoky flavor. We also enjoyed the Lychee Mocktail and the 5 Sake Flight, which was a fun way to sample different styles of Japanese sake. After that, we headed inside for the hot pot experience. We tried four broths--Kombu, Tonkotsu, Spicy Miso, and Sukiyaki--and each one brought something different to the table. My favorite was the rich Tonkotsu, while the Kombu was perfect for letting the quality of the ingredients shine. For the meats, we ordered the Royal Beef Experience with ribeye, chuck roll, and beef belly, along with the Royal Seafood Set featuring shrimp, Atlantic salmon, fresh scallops, fish balls, and the chef's curated seafood selection. Everything was fresh and high quality. The standout of the night was the Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. The marbling was incredible, and after just a few seconds in the broth, it practically melted in my mouth. It was easily one of the best Wagyu experiences I've had. To finish the meal, we shared the matcha cheesecake and matcha ice cream, which were the perfect ending. The service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was welcoming from start to finish. I also love that they offer both an outdoor patio with a full bar menu and a premium hot pot experience inside, making it a great spot whether you're looking for drinks and appetizers or a full dinner. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend King Plus Shabu Shabu if you're looking for quality Japanese food and premium hot pot in the South Bay.

At first, I had my doubts as coming in as we had a reservation for 5 but took us awhile to get seated even though the restaurant was quite empty. But then things warmed up;I appreciated that the staff seemed to really collaborate and sure we had to ask for things multiple times but requests were always fulfilled with a smile. Shout out to Eric who helped amplify the experience as we moved through our dinner. He brought a joy to our table, and kept us in positive spirits. Love the "Let Us Choose For You" option which allows you to experience 3 meats (ribeye, chuck, beef belly) as well as appetizer and a drink. A great deal and quality of food. Spacious, comfortable establishment, and easy parking. I'll definitely be back.

    I've been eating at Shin-Sen-Gumi in one form or another for nearly two decades. I remember this…read moreGardena location through different iterations, different menus, different servers, different stages of my own life. Somehow, after all that time, the version I've become most attached to is the one I was initially least interested in trying. The shabu shabu. I have an almost irrational distrust of the words all you can eat. Too often it means somebody with a spreadsheet figured out exactly how thin the beef needs to be before the economics work. More food, less quality, clever tiers and by the end you've eaten twice what you wanted and enjoyed half of it. Shin-Sen-Gumi completely surprised me. My wife and I now come here almost every week, usually for lunch and the lunch sets are fantastic. The Kobe style beef is tender without disappearing the second it touches the broth. It still has texture, flavor and enough substance to feel like you're actually eating good beef. The beef belly looks almost comically fatty when it arrives, then somehow cooks into something rich and satisfying without becoming greasy. The A5 wagyu is even better. A5 can sometimes become three bites of expensive butter, but this has enough bite and structure to keep it interesting. The thickness of the slices is right, which matters more in shabu shabu than people realize. The supporting cast is equally strong. Huge shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, good ponzu, sesame sauce, raw egg for sukiyaki and genuinely excellent hot drops. My only real complaint is that the non AYCE lunch sets could use a more generous vegetable portion. I'd happily take more napa, mushrooms and noodles alongside the meat. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. The staff here are genuinely thoughtful. Attentive without hovering, warm without turning hospitality into a performance. We've gotten to know a few of the servers simply because we come so often and that familiarity makes the place feel even better. The restaurant itself is straightforward, clean and organized. Lunch can sometimes be surprisingly empty, which I honestly consider a gift. You sit down, the broth starts bubbling, the meat arrives, everything you need is within reach and for an hour life becomes considerably simpler. I never expected to rediscover a restaurant I'd known for so long and become more attached to it now than I ever was before. Sometimes a place just gets the fundamentals right often enough that you stop evaluating it and start developing a habit. Shin-Sen-Gumi has become that place for us.

    Honestly can't believe it took me this long to leave a review. I've been coming to Shin-Sen-Gumi…read moreShabu Shabu for years, and it's one of our regular spots--we're here pretty much every week. We always go for the all-you-can-eat, and it never disappoints. The food is great, and the staff are super friendly, which really makes the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend making a reservation because it can get busy and you'll save yourself the wait. We usually prefer sitting at the bar instead of a table--it's just our favorite vibe. If you love spicy food, definitely ask the staff for the "hot drop" . I'd recommend starting with 1 drop before going up to 2. Two is my limit, but even that really kicks it up a notch. Rain or shine, hot or cold, this is always our go-to spot. Love this place.

    My husband and I came during lunch time. We have gotten to-go from Yellow Cow before and was always…read moreimpressed by the quality of food. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. We ordered the lunch specials with cold noodle and beef bulgogi and spicy pork bulgogi. The banchan was delicious and fresh. My Korean husband really enjoyed the potato salad. The service was great! We will definitely be back when we have a chance to step away for lunch.

    We visited for Sunday lunch right when they opened and were seated immediately. Based on other…read morereviews, lunch seems to be the better time to come if you want to avoid long waits and the challenge of finding parking. The four of us shared the three-meat combo with brisket, bulgogi, and upgraded to the marinated galbi. The combo came with a variety of banchan, including some sides we hadn't seen before, along with radish and grape leaves. We also received shredded cabbage salad, steamed egg, kimchi soup, three bowls of rice, and two sodas of our choice. Our waiter was great! He was attentive, cooked all the meat for us, and quickly refilled our banchan whenever we requested more. He also changed out the grill several times once it started getting too dark. One funny moment was when our stove flame wasn't working properly and it was held down with a rock to keep it going. But hey, whatever works as long as the meat gets cooked! We originally thought the three-meat combo might not be enough for four people, but we were completely wrong. The portions were incredibly generous, and we couldn't even finish everything. We were so full that we didn't eat dinner that night. The table next to us was celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant even played a fun birthday song over the speakers. Yellow Cow is a great spot for K-BBQ when you want a delicious experience without having to drive all the way to K-town. We had great service, plenty of food, and a wonderful time.

    I've heard so many good things about this restaurant and they did not disappoint…read more Their happy hour beer set is great. One of the things I liked the most was Mapo tofu!! You can't miss it. Service is great too.

    It's in a spot that was kind of hard to find since it's connected to the hotel. There's a patio and…read moreinside seating and the inside seating looks like it's a bit fancy. However, the ambiance did not fit the vibe of the restaurant at all? It overall feels like an awkward space and maybe that's due to how empty it was on a Saturday night. We also had a reservation for two people at 6 pm and requested the bar seat however when we got there, they said they couldn't seat us there because people were coming. That I would have understood if it were true. We were there for the next hour and no one came in except for a big party behind us so the restaurant was practically empty. Then later on when we were about to leave another couple came in and they were given the option to choose where to sit. I somewhat got the feeling that the people just didn't care for their customers. As for the food, I first ordered the karaage as I heard it was really good here, and it was. We got it off the happy hour menu and it came with 3 pieces. the meat was nice and tender and the outside had a really nice crisp. It came with a lemon slice, but it could use a little mayo on the side. the edamame was basic but well salted. The negi gyoza was also pretty basic, but good; it was nice and refreshing. The broiled salmon miso was my favorite. It was cooked very well and the flavor was great with a slight sweetness at the end. The Buta Kimchi was a good size but I was hoping for a little more pork, however it was very savory and the kimchi was very flavorful. The Baked Potato Macaroni with Cheese was a confusing name for what it was. It was a baked Mac and Cheese with just a little bit of potato in it. It had a lot of brown butter taste in it, which I enjoyed but it was a bit over powering. Finally the Happa Original Curry Rice was just alright. It felt pretty good and the meat was nicely stewed. I think it would be even better if it were a bit spicy. With decent food, bad pricing, questionable service and an awkward ambiance, I would not come back and would not recommend this restaurant.
