This place was my go to back in college and it is still the same goodness as I remembered! What a trip down memory lane. Lamb pot is my go to always. Long lines, just put your info down on the iPad by the entry way (inside). Wait is usually about 30-45min. Service is quick! Food came out in about 15min of ordering. read more

Boiling Point - Lamb pot is a must! - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

My son was craving hot pot and knowing that he has a basic palate, I capitalized on the opportunity to have him eat something other than chicken and rice. I had planned on us going elsewhere for hot pot, but my son being my son, I had to cancel our reservation. So, I jump on yelp, to help me find another hot pot spot and remember this place in Gardena. We walk in, put our info on the waitlist and wait. We finally get called and we go in and get seated. First off, we weren't told that there was a QR code for the menu. And when we were finally given the QR code, seeing the menu options, they made no sense to me. When our waiter asked if we were ready to order, I told him I had no idea how to order and asked him where the soup options were. He explained to me that they were pre-made options and went through the list of available options. Im not sure if the look of confusion on my face changed his response to me, but I quickly adjusted my face and said I needed a minute to look at the menu, in order to figure out what I wanted to order. I'm not going to lie, I wanted to get up and leave, but my son wanted hot pot, so we placed our order and waited. And sure enough, our pre-made hot pot arrived. All that was going through my head was, "what the hell is this?" Flavor wise, the broth was delicious and the heat level we chose was perfect, but it was the concept that threw me. I will NEVER come back here. This is not hot pot, atleast not in the traditional sense, in my opinion. There were people there that liked it, loved it even, but it just wasn't for me. read more

Always a great place to go to when it's cold. The broth warms you right up since it's piping hot. You can also always get more broth if you run out, just need to ask someone! The wait times can be a bit long since the space is so small. The sizes are good for the price point, I always get leftovers to take home. I usually get the milk cream curry and it's always so good. Getting it for lunch is the best since it comes with your choice of an iced green tea or iced black tea. There's a parking lot but sometimes can be busy and packed with small spaces. read more

Amazing pot! I love it so much! Only thing is that I have to wait so much! If you go earlier, wait is less

Almost no waiting for a 1pm Wednesday lunch. We've always seen massive lines here so now's our chance. We tried the beef and Taiwanese spicy soups. But here's why we won't be going back... 1. The sterno-like burning odor made the air a bit thick inside. Maybe I'm just too sensitive. 2. Teas are sweet teas, we just like regular teas way better. Maybe I'm too old fashioned. 3. The Taiwanese Spicy soup was kinda greasy for me. Maybe I'm just too used to pho and ramen. 4. The beef in both soups was like beef at the big beef bowl chain. Um, beef bowl as in under $10. 5. When we told the waiter it was our first time there, no real guidance or description given for the food or teas... we would've skipped the sweetened teas and maybe shared a soup and tried some sides. Wanted to like this place, but will stick to tofu soup, pho and ramen. read more

It was raining this weekend so it was perfect for hot pot! I've came to Boiling Point before and as much as I love their food, there is always a long wait. I also think they were short-staffed that day so service was slow and they kept forgetting parts of our order. Overall, I still really like coming here for the food. The garlic bean paste is my favorite and pairs well with the toppings in the beef hot pot. There is also a promo going on so it's double meat and all-you-can-eat rice with every pot! read more

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

I love boiling point, but lately I think their quality of meat is lacking. For the last few times the meat has a pretty strong gamey taste. Use to be really good. Oh well, nothing stays the same I suppose. Will not return anytime soon. read more

We ordered the beef salad, curry base hot pot and the beef hot pot. We've been to Boiling Point several times and their hot pot menu items are pretty consistent regarding flavor and amount of food. The beef salad was good. I can't make out the flavor of the dressing or how the beef was cooked. It made my tongue tingle. I almost thought there's a spice to it but can't tell what it is. Overall, you can't go wrong with the hot pot menu items. read more

Always a good spot for comfort food. Healthy with all the included veggies. I like to go for the lamb. The customer service is good. The staff can be mean to kids, but overall good. If it's your first time, I recommend the MILD. Anything hotter is uncomfortable to the point where the food isn't enjoyable anymore. read more

I love boiling point! Their service is quick and amazing. The waiters are always attentive with refilling the garlic sauce and our broth. The restaurant itself is very clean and smells amazing throughout. Their Thai tomato dish wasn't the best. There was a vegetable root in there that made it very spurt. I had to remove it. But their beef and seafood dishes are the best! read more

I went to this Gardena location with friends who were visiting last week. The food was fine but the service could have been better. Not even 5 min from being seated, we were rushed to order when we didn't look at the menu yet. This happened twice. When we WERE ready, no one tended to us for a while. My friend also ordered their rice special and didn't get his food until 20 min after my food showed up. We assumed it was forgotten. We asked for the food and apparently it's as sitting out for a bit at their counter. Soon after, I was halfway done with my soup and took a short break then the server assumed I was done and without asking, stacked dishes into my bowl. I was upset about it because I was not finished with my food. I was reluctant to give a tip on the bill for the poor service but I've decided to just let it go and gave it anyway. I used to be a food server in the past so I get sometimes you forget but accountability and making up for the mistakes should be considered. Just a simple, "my apologies for the trouble" would suffice, but nothing. Please do better because I enjoy coming here. read more

Boiling Point - #11 The Hot Green Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Gardena, California

I've been coming to this personal hot pot restaurant for a number of years, and while the prices have gone up, the food is still excellent. I recommend coming here for the lunch special, because you get a free green or black iced tea with your meal. And this small restaurant tends to be less busy too. You can choose from an assortment of different hot pots, ranging from seafood to meat to Taiwanese and Thai specials. All of the ingredients are listed out, which is a good thing, because each bowl comes packed with items. Your entree comes with a spice level of your choice (none to "Flaming Hot") and a side of rice or vermicelli glass noodles. I tried the appetizer called the "Holy Cow," which was a chilled assortment of beef. This is a pretty typical appetizer in Chinese cuisine, it was refreshing and spicy, seasoned with mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn. For my entree, I got the Korean bean paste hot pot, which has a broth stained a vibrant terra cotta red from chili, and owing its fermented flavor from the Korean soybean paste doenjang. It was delicious! There are dipping sauces at each table for you to dip your noodles, meat, and veggies in. All in all, Boiling Point is an entertaining and interactive dining experience. It's fun to go with friends and stir away at your own little pot, chatting while you cook your food and try sauce combinations. Give it a go! read more

Tbh parking is not great in this center but the service at this BP is excellent. Quick, clean. Expect to wait for a table during peak hours. Recommend turning the fire off mid-meal! New favorite place for a hearty meal. Go light on the spice level! read more

I am really disappointed, seems like the quality of this place really took a steep decline. There were dirty rags left near open water pitchers that are being served to customers. Cleaning solutions left near people who are eating. And if it couldn't get worse, there were employees who emptied the trash in the bathroom and walked through the whole entire restaurant while people are eating. I believe that's what the back door is for. At the end of this rough dinner, we waited for 15 mins for someone to pick up the check, but no one did. So we finally went up to the counter to pay, and there's a group of employees chit chatting with their masks down. Whats the point of wearing them? Either wear them or don't. And service the customers, instead of chit chatting. Really disappointing experience. read more

I got takeaway from here and the food wasn't good. I got a spicy miso hotpot and it was soooooo salty. The soup had very thick consistency that was way too heavy. I got a side of rice and the clear noodles as well. Those were fine. The beef or pork whatever meat was in it was so dry and chewy like it was precooked and frozen then just thrown in to order. I'll try to get medium spicy next time to see if that changes the saltiness and soup consistency but my takeaway experience was not enjoyable. read more

Consistently good. Place still gets pretty busy, even at opening. Make sure to get on the waitlist ASAP. However, once seated, service is quick. My go to is the lamb, medium spicy with steamed rice or vermicelli. I love that they brought back the blood cubes instead of the blood cubes with rice. For lunch, the portion is more than generous, can easily be shared, and affordable. Also appreciate that they still offer a free drink. Restaurant is also well maintained and clean. read more

I love boiling point! Such a nice place especially for lunch! I love that you can come here any time of the year and get the same experience and I say that because they blast the AC so you can enjoy the soup without sweating so much in the summer. Lol but that's just my guess. Anyway, my favorites are the Korean pork belly and the beef! I also love their tangy beef and holy cow! If you come for lunch, they give you a small green tea with the meal which is awesome. 5 stars because I think that you get good value for how much you pay. read more

Had to wait over 1h to be seated but it was worth it! The pots are individual (I could finish mine at least lol) and totally customizable. I don't like blood sausage so I just had to ask the server to take it out. The pot came boiling and the lamb flavor was so good! All the ingredients were fresh and I could tell they were of good quality. They were able to make +10 ingredients be perfectly harmonious and each spoonful was refreshing - not at all greasy or with fat coat. You can also order a side dish. I ordered the noodles, but I would not have if I knew the pot came with noodles already. Totally recommend. read more

Favorite hot pots are beef and cream curry but as of late due to covid I have only been ordering it Togo. Usually calling in makes it much easier to pick and go but now they have decided that they are no longer picking up phones.. I am a little dumbfounded that they have a phone but choose not to answer it.. If you are short on staff, management should be manning this position or at least notify people in the voicemail so people don't waste their time attempting to call togo. Food is good, but if you are looking for service and efficiency I would look elsewhere for Togo orders. Also CASH ONLY now... read more

I came here with my friend, who I havent seen in months, for an early dinner. We got sat in the booth. Pretty comfy. We both got the beef w/ mild spicy and noodles. It was very yummy and Ianaged to finished the whole thing. My favorite go to is the beef. I've tried the house special, korean paste and lamb soup. However, the beef is still my favorite. I always pair my soup with a green tea ( in case I need it to help with the spicines). I was glad that my cravings were satisfied. I can't wait to come back for more hotpot. read more

I've been to various Boiling Point locations and this is the best service I've ever had out of all of the locations. I didn't have to wave somebody down to take my order. I didn't have to ask for water refills because they were already on it and the same with the soup refill. I asked the waitress for more sauce because they were low and she came back right away with it full. Awesome!!! Food was good too. read more

I love the broth for their soup. I've had several different ones whenever I go here. Now and then I try their specials. Sad part is sometimes their specials aren't included in their permanent menu. I love it that you could ask for more broth. I'm one of those that finish their broth first and my wok is still full of the ingredients! I'm never disappointed whenever I come here--from the food service to the food. It's excellent! read more

Signed up in-person for reservation. Waited 2.5 hours to get a text that asked us to check in soon. I went back there in 20min, which I was not aware I had to check in within 10 mins after receiving the text. The text message didn't specify it. The waitress and manager refused to seat us because they said we checked in too late and we should have known there's only 10 mins window because the policies are all written on the poster. Then he pointed at one of posters at the restaurant. As a customer, am I supposed to look all the posters and be familiar with all your polices at the restaurant? Isn't your responsibility to let the customers know about 10 mins window check-in via the text message? As a customer, am I supposed to wait outside for 2.5 hours without going anywhere far? As a manager, are not customer satisfaction your first priority? And if you can't do this for us out of courtesy, maybe... you should not be a manager? I know it's so packed and busy, but if you don't have the capacity of offering customer deals, maybe just don't? Despite the fact that so many people were still waiting outside to be seated, I could be next even I came to check in late due to your lack of communication with customers. I could have left 2.5 hours ago, but you wasted my time of waiting because of your miscommunication. TBH, if it's not because of the BOGO deal, I wouldn't even wanna go there. I have been twice. The meats looked old. Soup tasted like water. No wonder the restaurant only has 3.5 star rating. The customer service sucks. The food sucks. The environment sucks. I can't wait to see your restaurant to be closed soon due to having shitty stuff. read more

So good. It's definitely worth the wait. The plaza is alright for parking. You check in at a tablet in the front and wait to be texted. I usually get the beef with mild spicy. And let me tell you, it's spicy but it burns good. I've gone back several times and look forward to going back again in the future. It's a popular place worth going to if you're craving hot pot. read more

I love love love this place! Food is consistently good, service is good. The place is small and popular which leads to very long waitlists, and my only complaint is why they haven't upgraded to yelp waitlist where people can sign up from within at least 5 miles. The wait can be a minimum of 1 hour to sometimes 2 hour at peak, and I see people walk away and settle for the noodle shop next door. read more

Wow. I've only had hotpot a handful of times, but this place is so good. I thought it wouldn't be good since it wasn't AYCE (all you can eat) but you get a ton of food. I got their beef hotpot with rice. It was great. The soup itself is scalding, so be careful and don't burn your mouth! The flavors are so good though. The beef is so tender and fatty, corn is super sweet, all the veggies and tofu skin and other items perfectly complement one another. Make sure you do not pass up on their sauces on the table. Make yourself a dipping sauce in one of the containers they give you. I suggest a good spoon of the bean paste, a healthy couple spoons of the garlic chili paste (so crunchy and garlicky), and then pour some of the garlic soy sauce. Mix it all together and enjoy! Overall, incredible hotpot with friendly staff. read more
