I absolutely loved this place it was my first time eating hot pot. Overall the ambience was amazing it was nice and cozy and family friendly. I would definitely be coming back here with my family. The service was the best all the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our server was Donna and she gave us the best advice about the #4 Beef and how popular the pot was. I would recommend to anyone to come here again for the great food and vibes. read more

Immaculate service and good food. We were served by Anthony and he made sure we were treated RIGHT. Speedy service and great recommendations. 10/10, no notes. read more

Now I understand why the ratings have been going down for this place. We just had a horrible experience with the service. 1 - while waiting outside, servers came out to call out names. As our name moved up the waiting list, some names got called a few times (as they seemed like no shows). When we got the message that our table is almost ready (we waited for 40 minutes since signing), we got up and waited by the door outside. We noticed we got skipped based on the wait-list app. Then a girl server came out and called our name. We walked in. She immediately told us why we weren't there when we got the message. I said we were right in front of the door. She said we should have walked inside and waited inside. I told her serveral servers were calling out names OUTSIDE the door. She insisted we should have waited inside. 2 - she asked us to sit. The table had food bits all over it. New utensils were placed but the table was not wiped down. It has noodles, rice, and sauce spills. She grabbed a dirty looking rag and wiped it. 3 - the bench had rice and food on them too. I cleaned it myself. I wiped the table too cause it was so sticky. 4 - I had a bag of food from the restaurant next door cause we were feeding my 3 yr old daughter on the bench outside by the waiting area since Boiling Point only serves plain udon with plain broth for kids. Figured we would feed her first outside. I placed the bag on the table to use it as a stand so my kid can lean my phone on it while she watches. I was immediately told no outside food or drinks. I said we're not eating it in the store - just using it as a phone stand. They said again, no outside food or drinks. Fine. I took the bag back in the car. 5 - We placed our orders and halfway through, we still haven't been served water. read more

I've been coming to Boiling Point since pretty much the beginning, which is probably why it has taken me this long to write a review. I've eaten my way through nearly the entire menu over the years, watched the milk curry arrive as a promotion and somehow become part of the furniture, tried the vegetarian pot back when it came with those surprisingly great flat chewy noodles, ordered delivery, eaten here for lunch, dinner, and everything in between. There were years when this place was ridiculously consistent. And when Boiling Point is good, it is still really fucking good. The House Special is still my default. Medium spice, extra quail eggs, iced tofu, the whole thing bubbling away in front of you. My wife gets the beef. Their house sauce is salty as hell but delicious. The lunch drink is a nice touch and I've always liked that they keep changing the little extras over the years, from konnyaku jelly to the chia drink they're doing now. There's a reason I keep coming back. The problem is that somewhere along the way, the experience became wildly inconsistent. I've repeatedly had stomach issues after eating here over the years. I originally blamed the spice, so I stopped ordering the Taiwanese Spicy. It still happened occasionally with other pots, so I honestly don't know what the culprit is and I'm not going to pretend I do. But it definitely changed how often I come. More noticeable is the cleanliness. The gray burner trays underneath the pots are routinely wet, greasy and visibly dirty. Extra bowls and dishes have arrived wet often enough that I notice it. None of this necessarily means anything sinister is happening in the kitchen, but when your entire meal is sitting on top of an apparatus that looks like it hasn't been wiped down properly, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Service has the same inconsistency. Everyone is usually nice enough, but sometimes it feels like teenagers playing restaurant. Lots of "Everything good? Need anything? Anything else?" without anyone really paying attention to whether you need something. Fake attentive is probably the best way I can describe it. One practical piece of advice, avoid the tables closest to the bathroom if you have a choice. There is nothing quite like enjoying a bubbling pot of fermented tofu and occasionally being reminded that the human digestive system has another end. And yet, look at the photos. The damn thing was delicious. That's Boiling Point for me. I can't give it five stars because after this many years I've seen too much inconsistency in cleanliness, ingredients and service. I also can't pretend it's bad, because I've probably eaten every pot they've made and will almost certainly be back when the craving hits. Three stars. A longtime relationship that could use some work. read more

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! The only downside was how the room smelled afterwards because of the stinky tofu but I love the smell. Sorry to everyone else around me LOL read more

The service at this location is excellent in comparison to other BPs. The servers checked in on us frequently throughout the lunch service. Whether it was refilling our soup, extinguishing the fire, bringing extra napkins, or simply asking if we were doing okay, I was really pleased with the great customer service from all of the front of house staff! I always get the beef hotpot set which comes with your choice of winter melon or green tea and rice or vermicelli noodles. The serving is quite large, so I usually end up eating about 1/2 to 3/4 of the meal depending on how hungry I am. I love taking my leftovers to-go and having a second meal at home! read more

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! The music can be a bit loud sometimes which makes catching up and chatting a bit difficult. Seating is an also bit cramped. The AC could definitely be a bit better too- it gets warm especially when eating hot soup. read more

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. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the staff were very attentive. 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. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

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. Relatively smaller location compared to Garden Grove and Irvine. read more

Boiling Point - #2 Seafood & Tofu Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

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. The establishment is not fancy, but it is lively and average noise. 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 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. read more

Our go to spot for hot pot! It gets busy even before it opens. Quality of food is fresh and just perfect when craving soup. Since it gets busy it sometimes can be hard to get the attention of servers but all have been super nice read more

Boiling Point prices have definitely gone up in recent years. It's still delicious and satisfies your hot point cravings. 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 This BP location is in a very busy plaza with lots of dining options. 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. It's also one of the smaller BP locations I've been too. 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. Sometimes I'll see a table left alone without be cleaned for a while. 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. read more

I have no idea why Boiling Point is rated 3.5 stars. This restaurant and chain is incredible. Me and my roommate have gone to this location at least two times a month. Every time we go there is a wait time of ~30 mins to an hour. If the line is always long then the food is always good! My personal favorite is the Lamb hot pot! read more

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. Ambiance is a bit crowded, but there is a bit of space between the tables. 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.

Good simple soup night! The real here is friendly and prompt! And food yummmy! Will be back!

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. It does get busy so I always try to go during off times. Never has been an issue for me. Seats are super hard so I brought in my donut pillow lol. 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. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Spicy minus blood and intestines - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

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!!! 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. (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! read more

Boiling Point - Beef, no spice, with noodles and winter melon tea - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

Good thing about Boiling Point is the lunch deal! I came for lunch; free tea with lunch --yay! Wintermelon was so refreshing. This time, I came at night to try it out. The vibe was chill; the wait can be a little long if it's cold outside, but I believe it was worth it. Obviously, who doesn't like to have some hot soup in cold weather, right? Boiling Point was the right choice. The environment can be a little loud, but the vibe at least was cool; the staff is friendly and checks in on you regularly. I don't normally write reviews, but this one is a must. Make sure to check it out yall. read more

Food: My husband and I visited Boiling Point in Gardena for dinner and ordered the Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup and Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup. Fitting choices since we're Korean and Taiwanese ourselves! Both soups were incredibly hearty and comforting, packed with bold flavors and generous toppings. The Korean Bean Paste had a rich, savory depth, while the Taiwanese Spicy had just the right kick. Each hot pot came bubbling hot in its own personal pot, and the portions were huge - we were totally stuffed by the end. One word of caution: the soup comes out very hot. I accidentally dropped a piece of topping on my thigh, and it left a burn mark that lasted a week. So definitely handle with care! Price: Each hot soup was around $18-$20, which is fair considering the portion size and quality. It's a filling, satisfying meal that feels like a warm hug. Perfect for chilly evenings or when you're craving comfort food. Ambiance: The restaurant has a cozy, casual vibe with a steady buzz of activity. There's usually a wait during dinner hours, but the turnover is pretty fast, and the staff keeps things moving efficiently. It's a great spot for a casual date night or friend hangouts or even a comforting solo meal. Service: Service was quick and friendly. The staff checked in just enough without being intrusive, and everything came out piping hot and well-prepared. Parking: Located in a busy plaza, parking can be a bit tight during peak hours, but the lot if HUGE. So with a little patience, you'll usually find a spot, but you might just have a walk a bit to the restaurant. read more

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. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and always has that busy lively feeling that makes it feel comforting. 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. read more

Boiling Point - #8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

I was disappointed last night 9/12/26 around 9ishpm, The meat it seems uncooked because of the pinkish color,I tried to cook into boiling soupbase with fire under, but I'm still not convinced that is was cook because of the color of the meat still look raw to me. I ask one of the server if the meat was cooked? she said that she will ask the Cook and took my order to recook or I'm not sure what are they trying to do? then the guy came to are table and told me it was cook and the reason why the meat is pink because of the color of the soup base? I understand on my friends order because her order is the thai kinda soup that it will be color pink or reddish? for mine i dont really understand why the meat is pinkish or reddish and my soupbase is more creamy? but after that conversation, my order came back to my table it doesnt look like they did something ? because it looks the same when they took out from are table, so I ask one of the server again asking him that to make sure the meat is cooked because I dont want to get sick. So I already point out my concern about my food and then I lost my appetite, i did not finish my order because i dont want to take A risk my health its not worth it, instead I took a picture of the soup and you guys judge. I separate the meat on the side so you can see better, My point is we always come here to get are hotpot craving and we never see this kind of color meat. And the cook or I dont know manager should step in and offer to replace my order? FYI my friend had a mild diarrhea in the middle of the night she just told today, good thing i did not eat the meat. check the picture her order is with the red soup base and mine is with meat place on the side. FYI I left generous tip too I still appreciate the effort. Just be mindful of whats the customers feedback. read more

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! read more

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.

BP has always been a staple hot pot restaurant and it never fails. I usually opt for Taiwanese spicy but dang I forgot how spicy it was. Each hotpot has a good balance of vegetables, noodles, and meat. The most recent time I came here, we were literally the last ones on the waitlist!! thank god cuz I might've been pissed cuz I was hungry. Service is usually pretty fast considering how busy they are. But coming at night too close to closing time isn't good bc they run out of the little konjac jelly thing they give out at the end lol :p The only thing I really don't like about this place is how the tables are SUPER close together. Might as well eat on one big table all together hahahahaha Other than that, FIYA! read more

Came here during the weekday a little after the lunch rush and it wasn't super busy like it usually is. We didn't have to wait or join the waitlist at all but I noticed you join the waitlist bc is a QR code now, rather than signing in through their tablet. The lunch special is until 3 PM and comes with a drink, either green tea or winter melon juice. I got the beef hotpot in medium spice level with vermicelli noodles and it was pretty good. Not a painful kind of spicy. I like that the hotpots here are personal sized and usually if I'm really hungry I'm able to finish it but this time I couldn't and brought it home for a second meal. We also ordered a side of pork slices and it was plain, but tasted good when dipped in the broth. The waiter was friendly and checked to see if we needed additional broth/water added to our hotpot. It's a good spot for casual lunch or dinner with small groups or larger groups (recommend joining the waitlist earlier during busy hours). read more

Boiling Point - Melted plastic inside my soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

We love this BP location and that discovered that it's not too busy for weekday dinners as I had feared. I usually came for lunch and it's been crowded, but just before 6, it was ok, which was a relief since I had the kids in tow. They excel at satisfying the spicy craving, and everyone knows that already. But this time, I needed the not spicy to feed 2 yr old, and the beef at no spicy level was perfectly good for her, and still very delicious for me as well. We also got the miso which had just a hint of spicy oil and my 7 yr old liked it along with the beef. They have a whole set of condiments at every table so adults can always add or dip as desired if you are sharing with kids. They also had tiny udon bowls for free for kids, which was a good side for toddler, though she mostly liked my hot pot better. But just very nice when a restaurant is willing to accommodate the parents in any way. Had no idea how hard it is to eat out with little ones until I had them LOL. I also tried the mango aloe vera drink and it was delectable! It had big chunks of aloe and wasn't too sweet so it didn't interfere with dinner. The staff was quick and friendly, we got everything we needed, without delay. Thanks BP, we had a good birthday dinner. read more

There's no denying that I absolutely love the food here but customer service and the food's quality control varies. It's a hit or miss on both subjects. It's either really good or bad. There are times where the customer service is superb but there are also times where they avoid eye contact with you or avoid you complete...when you're trying to get their attention! It's honestly disheartening at times because it's literally part of their job! I get that some customers can be rude as but I'm just asking for assistance. Nothing more, nothing less. Now-- when it comes to quality control there are times where their soups lacks in flavor.. either really spicy or not so spicy. Sometimes lacking in meat, broth and veggies. This shouldn't be an issue but it is! As much as I love their food, I had to knock it down another star because it's become more an issue as of lately. It's honestly sad to see a restaurant that you actually enjoy and can see the quality as a whole lessen. There is always room for improvement though! So I hope that management can see this and hope to actually make some good changes. read more

I should've read the reviews about the long wait period before heading there. The wait was around 1hr15 mins in total but idk if i didn't know how to look or anything but the app where we register doesn't tell you or text you an estimate on how long the wait period it. Food however... AMAZINGGG The taiwanese spicy soup is very spicy! I usually love spice and have a good tolerance so for me it was good level of spicy where i can still eat the meal (tongue and lips were burning a little) Sonny however has a moderate spice tolerance and this was tooo spicy for him . He basically stood in line to be tortured me- 9/10 sonny - 7/10 (only bc it was too spicy, it's his fault ‍) Would deff go back, but i'd prolly drop my name and go elsewhere for an hour or so.

Got here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Got into waitlist and when it was my turn I got to sit by the door. I did not like the seats by the door so I asked to change the seats inside which were available and empty. The employee who named Donna (her name tag only showing Don) did not want to offer the seats and was giving us attitude. We insisted to change seats and were willing to wait. Then she told us to "go out" (to wait), just said these two words. We waited outside for another ten minutes while the tables were ready inside. We saw her looking at us from inside but purposely did not let us in. Thus, we waited patiently. It was quite hot outside with the heat wave. So one of us went in and she came and asked why stood inside. She said there were people waiting in line which did not make any sense since it was our turn like 15 mins ago. Her attitude is just bad and once she let us in, she shakes her head. I think she should reconsider to change her job nature and do not get into the customer related field. read more

Boiling Point - Spicy Beef Hot Pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

All the waiters here are great and do a good job of checking on you throughout the meal. Got the beef pot with a meat upgrade and there was more than enough food for two. The only critique I have of the pot was the amount of oil that's added in, I think it's because I ordered medium spice and they use maybe the same chili oil that's on the table. It made me feel queasy to be honest but underneath the oil was a great broth. My rice was mushy but the server quickly replaced my bowl. Was lucky I didn't have to wait too long for a table when I came in around 630 pm. By 7 pm there was a wait. read more

For the price point, Boiling Point isn't bad, but wouldn't be my pick if I were in the mood for hot pot. It's lively inside and a good place for dinner with friends, but it would be a good idea to go early for a table since the restaurant gets packed since the wait is usually more than 45 minutes. I ordered the #1 House Special - there's a lot of different components to hotpot, so it's hard to review with a blanket statement, but I'll start with the soup base. I ordered my soup mild, and mild at Boiling Point is "Chinese mild" - it has a kick, so I wouldn't order it unless you can at least handle Hot Cheetoes. The soup is really intense with flavor, but for me, it wasn't really in a good way. It was extremely salty and the flavoring was almost reminiscent of eating flavor seasoning from bagged chips. This intense flavor means that it clings well onto the ingredients within the hotpot, but the soup itself is way too salty - and without rice to balance out the salt, it was way too much for me. As for the components: the beef was alright - thinly sliced and on the leaner side. I noticed large chunks of my beef clumped together like they weren't fully thawed out before they were thrown into the pot. The pork intestine was quite good, tender and rich. The tofu was a huge miss for me - incredibly dry and crumbly when bit into and a smell that reminded me of stinky tofu (but it isn't). The pork blood was also alright, very mild in taste and largely overpowered by the soup. There was also only one clam in my dish, but the clam had a LOT of sand in it that made me spit it out and left residual sand in my mouth - as if it wasn't cleaned beforehand. My favorites were probably the fish tofu that they put their logo on and the napa cabbage. While overall it wasn't a bad experience, I think the food is just alright and I don't see myself waiting to eat here again unless a friend wants to. read more

Well-priced individual hot-pot spot with loooooong waits. Went on a Thursday evening and had to wait about 50 min - 1 hr for a party of 2. It's cold outside, so bundle up. Once seated, service was pretty quick. Ordered the beef soup, medium spicy. The broth and soup contents (beef / veggies) were both pretty good for the price. The dipping sauces they have were legit - that's probably what made the dinner. Would go back when the line is reasonable - not sure when that would be though haha. read more
