Love it!!! Especially with PNW cold rainy weather. The waiting line is a bit long on busy hours.

My boyfriend and I came here for one of our first dates and we ordered the Taiwanese spicy. At this point, it's kind of a gag because he's Taiwanese and he agrees that Taiwanese food is just never this spicy! Do beware if you choose to order it because it is really good, but by the end, I just have heartburn and indigestion lol. I wish they were more flexible and gave options to make everything in the smaller size. Speedy service and no frills ordering that makes dinner easy, brain-off, and interactive. I love sharing a pot with whoever I'm eating with and making it more of a classic hot pot experience. read more

Friend dragged me here for Individual Hot Pot and I'm glad I came! Personal hot pot, super cozy vibe, rich broth, fresh ingredients, and those handcrafted drinks hit the spot. Portions solid, flavors legit. Will definitely roll back :) read more

Friend's party catered here--so good. Fresh ingredients, flavors popped, everyone kept going back for seconds :)

We came here on my husband's birthday for a late lunch but didn't realize this location closed at 2:30 (and reopens later). Even though we came in at 2:20, the staff were very kind and still seated us despite closing so soon. Food came out quickly and it was delicious. Thankful to the staff for the delicious meal and hospitality read more

Boiling Point - #5 Lamb Hot Soup and Green tea - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

We love boiling point overall. The beef hot pot is my good to and constant with flavor and topping. Spicy level may fluctuate though. You can ask for extra broth to tone down the spicy. This location is small and extremely busy even on a weekday. It was an hour wait for 3 people and minimal space to wait inside. Free parking is a plus and shops like target near by to wander. read more

My favorite restaurant ever. My go-to is the beef hot pot. Difficult for my child to eat here because of peanut allergy though, sad. Most items have shacha base and it seems to contain peanuts. read more

I went here for lunch. The wait was 0 minutes. This place is casual. Smell is quite smoky. The wifi is BPguest password is ilovebpg. Btw, this place uses QR code menus. A good thing I noticed was that this place has Chinese translations. The people give us noodle packets before hot pot arrives. I took the house special. The house special was light and the meat was very good, the egg and rice cake was hard, the veggies were ok, and the noodles were delicious. Tip: lunch prices are cheaper than dinner prices. read more

I've been here many times, and always order the same thing (lamb hot pot, weekday lunch), and it's usually good, but this time, I was very disappointed. The lamb, instead of the usual tender, slightly-fatty thin slices, was very lean and tough. I couldn't even finish it and brought it home, hence the picture on a plate from home. I at first wondered if it was even lamb, but it did taste lamb-y... Service was fine. Just disappointed in the meat. My friend, who ordered her usual beef hot pot, also said it wasn't as good as usual. I did try some of hers, and it was at least a bit better than the lamb! read more

Boiling Point - Disappointing dry and tough lamb slices. Hasn't been like that before... - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Just had our hotpot fix at boiling point in Redmond location. Parking: much better than bellevue location Restroom: 1 gender neutral restroom Capacity: 40 max Check in: via their tablet in person check in We decided to come today due to their promo of buy 1 pot + 1 drink, you get the voucher for 1 pot + 1 drink, that can be use starting next day till up to 1 year. Location and dates varies. See their website. We ordered our usual pot beef and house specials with rice, and of course drinks. The lines was super long. Wait for about 1hr. Originally we went to bellevue, the tablet says we are number 14 as for group of 3-4. We left to redmond one bec I checked on bp app, the redmond one us only have 4 group of 3-4 waiting. But when we got here, we were number 8. Remember redmond location is smaller. Service is amazing. Thanks, guys!! read more

Always a fan of hotpot. What better than to have your very own personal bowl on a mini flame? I always get the Beef Hotpot here. It's pretty filling for me but I always find that there is room for dessert or an appetizer. Lunch: hot pot comes with a bowl of rice or vermicelli noodles and green or black tea. Dinner: all of the above minus the tea. The parking lot here is a super small shared lot. Can be nasty during peak hours. read more

Ordered the Miso which is my usual at the Bellevue location and it tasted very off. As I continued to eat, I noticed a string which was tied around the leg of my crab. The server told me it was normal and I was fine with finishing the rest of my soup but it was a thick piece of plastic string. They didn't apologize but at the end comped my meal, still no accountability. Service was pretty bad as well, my table had to keep calling them to ask for help and water refills. read more

Boiling Point - #9 Japanese Miso Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Meh. Havent been for awhile so thought I'd check it out. No wait so it was a good start. Before food arrived, I was grossed out bc the floor was very sticky. Under the table, and all the way to the restroom and the restroom floor - just sticky and felt gross. Made me wonder if the employee even wash the kitchen items well considering that they clearly do not care for a clean overall feel of the restaurant space. Food was fine. Nothing terrible nothing amazing. Just hot soup as expected. Servers were friendly but I will prolly not return based on the unkempt floor and yucky feeling. read more

Boiling Point - Beef option - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I visited this BP at 1pm on a Friday for dine-in and the restaurant was full. There was a waitlist to be seated, with two groups ahead of me. After ~30 minutes of waiting and no progress on the waitlist we decided to just order for takeout. The order took 10 minutes. Beef lamb hot soup with vermicelli was savory and delicious, with various filling ingredients. The soup comes with tea (green or black) and konjac jelly. I ordered non-spicy soup and it came with chili oil on the side so I could control how spicy I wanted it to be. 4 outta 5 due to our dine-in experience; they need a larger restaurant. read more

I can't rate this place highly when the "nonspicy" option is still quite spicy and the broth is literally red. This is basically false advertising. It was also cold when it came to my table. The protein and ingredients are also so meager compared to places like Happy Lamb at a similar price point. read more

Boiling Point - Lamb hot pot (nonspicy but still spicy) - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I'd recommend to not come here if you have a very large party (7 for us). They will make you wait outside even when you have arrived before others. It was raining and they had our group including a 1 year old wait outdoors. read more

Boiling Point is/was my favorite hot pot restaurant. My review here is specifically for this Redmond location. And the rating is targeting towards the experience, not the food quality. I haven't been to Boiling Point since before the pandemic. The menu has largely stayed the same. The options for add-ins have been reduced. Inoki mushrooms are no longer available. The interesting part here. I asked if they had any mushrooms, and they said no. This isn't really correct. The Taiwanese I order has mushrooms in it. So it is a strange they would say they don't have any mushrooms I could order. Currently, this location is not open for sit in to eat Monday thru Thursday. Only to-go orders. The restaurant is pretty small to begin with. But they also have 3 tables blocked off and taped only for to go orders. Not only were 3 tables taped off I noticed they placed a no seating sign on a fourth (4 seat) seat table. So four tables not available for use. While I was eating there, I didn't see one to-go order placed on those tables. Considering the size of the restaurant this greatly reduces seating capacity. We went on a Saturday and it really was not busy. However, we waited 45 minutes to be seated. Early pandemic, I would get it to some extent. Social distancing, etc. But at this point I think people who are willing to go eat at a restaurant are vaccinated and understand the risks involved. This arrangement is not customer friendly. The food was excellent as always. However, as other recent reviewers have noted, the customer service is poor. I'm somewhat used to this. Some Asian restaurants survive because the food is excellent despite their poor service. I currently place this restaurant in this category. Which this place has some of the best hot pot available, but don't expect great service. Once my food was delivered no one checked on us. We only received 4 napkins for 4 people. Extra sides, water, we had to wave someone down. Remind you that this restaurant is not large, and maybe 4 tables were seated and eating at that time. I love this restaurant, but probably won't be returning here for awhile. I'd rather go to the downtown location which has far more seating. In the end, Boiling Point is going to earn less money from me. There is far too many great food options near by. read more

This location have the worst services. We ordered the food with mild spicy but got the one with none spicy. We asked the old lady there to help us add more spicy but she showed attitude to us and did not want to change. At check out we did not give the tips due to her bad attitude then she told us not to come back due to no tips. Sorry but tips are for the good service. This location should fire the old lady there!!! read more

Food was good. It's always a go to for quick hot pot. I've been to this location several times and I would go back again.

Easily one of my favorite hot pot places, the environment is friendly and I'd say that it's just so flavourful. Be aware that if you bring a drink in, it will be covered by a bag for their policy, however they have a number of drinks on the menu you can choose from. Moreover, their seafood hot pot is delicious but the parking is quite small! read more

Does boiling point ever disappoint? Whenever visiting a boiling point I defer to consistency across all their locations and the redmond location did not disappoint. The interior is fairly small with enough tables to seat about 20, I opted for to go for this meal. I ordered the tawainese spicy, with cooked vermicelli noodles. It was well packaged, still hot when I got it home, and the spice level was perfect. If you're familiar with boiling point, you'll get what you're expecting. If you've never been, highly recommend! read more

This is by far one of my favorite work week lunches - it's such a great deal! A big personal hotpot loaded with meat and veggies, spicy garlicky bean sauce, rice or noodles, iced green tea or black tea, and lemonade with sago for a quick shot of dessert! The sauces help you amp up the flavor as much as you want and the variety of goodies in the hot pot keep you excited for every bite! My favorites are the fish cakes and balls (but who's surprised) read more

Boiling Point - Green tea with less ice - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Definitely try to come on off hours if you can (dine in is limited) as there is a line here when it's busier. The soups are preset and ways to order with. Each comes in an individual wok with a fire underneath (they will come out it out about 3/4 into your meal). The portion size of rice/ vermicelli seemed small. I wasn't a huge fan of the fermented tofu (combo #1) and would have liked the option to turn off the soup myself when it was cooked enough. read more

Boiling Point - Classic - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

My past experience with traditional hotpot has often resulted in soggy vegetables, overcooked meat and more time spent cooking than simply enjoying. Therefore, you can imagine my delight considering Boiling Point's style of hotpot, where each guest gets their own personal-sized simmering wok filled with predetermined ingredients. There are about 10 hotpot options to choose from (plus specials); all you need to do is specify your spice level and order any add-ons as you wish. Super straightforward! Two of us arrived for lunch at 11:30 AM and were immediately seated at one of few remaining tables. The restaurant space is fairly small and fills up quick as a line stretched out the door by noon. Their illustrative menu makes ordering a breeze since at a quick glance, it's easy to see the main contents of each hotpot, with all the ingredients also listed on the side. Each hotpot includes a side of rice or vermicelli, and during lunch hours, a cup of iced green or black tea is also complimentary! I ordered the #4 Beef Hot Soup ($14.25) at a mild spice level with a side of rice, which was prepared relatively quickly by the kitchen and served bubbling hot. In addition to sliced beef, I enjoyed the variety of ingredients and textures: napa, vermicelli, enoki mushrooms, tomato, firm tofu, tempura stick, corn, pork meatball, fish cake, fried tofu skin and imitation crab. The napa surprisingly retained some of its crispness, the tofu and vermicelli absorbed the flavorful broth and the beef was still fairly tender. Dip the meat in their garlic soy sauce for an even more flavorful bite! As a quick note, I ordered my pot at a mild spice level, which turned out spicier than expected. It was a good heat, but any more would have been overwhelming for me. As a whole, the hotpot is a good-sized portion of food, but the serving of each ingredient is relatively small. To put things in perspective, it included half a meatball, one wedge of tomato and a tiny corn cob. In my opinion, the few paper-thin slices of beef in the pot were not enough to classify this as a beef dish. While I was completely full after finishing, I didn't find the hotpot to be the best value. Instead of the complimentary tea, I decided to splurge and treat myself to a Guava Green Tea with boba ($4.75) which was super refreshing! Although the boba seemed a little overcooked, I loved the drink's sweet fruity flavors and it definitely cooled down my palate from the hot pot's tingling heat. Sadly, the service was not the best. The staff appears to do just the minimum required to get by. Other than coming over to take our order and leaving the bill, no one stopped by to check on us once. Everyone seemed pretty monotone and truly seemed to be just going through the motions with little enthusiasm. However, this wouldn't totally prevent me from returning, especially during the Fall and Winter months when I'll be craving a hot soup! read more

Really slow service. Everyone was literally getting their drinks and bowls while we didn't. Drinks came last which is not acceptable. Drinks should be served first! Food is mediocre at most. Place is way too crowded. Feels like working hazard for boiling pot. 2.5 star read more

Been here lots of times and just realized I never gave a review. The service was fast and the hot pot is really good. I can't stay away from the Taiwanese spicy. It's so good but very spicy. They have lots of other choices. The prices are reasonable and nothing beats hot fresh soup cooked my yourself this time of year. read more

Their vegan option is delicious! It's a very flavorful veggie broth with lots of mushrooms and tofu. The woman who worked there said it was one serving per bowl but my god it was a massive serving. Me and my partner could have easily shared one and gotten a side dish instead of getting one bowl per person. The workers are very nice and friendly. Also they refilled our broth for free. read more

I've been to other locations and this location by far is the best one, in my opinion. The servings are hearty the food is tasty and and the service is amazing. We went around 6pm on a weekday and there was no wait, we got seated in seconds, ordered and received our food fairly quickly. The restaurant is small but very clean and parking was very easy. The service with the employees was really great they were very aware of the customers and watched every table as they needed help. I would come back to this location more often. read more

I abhor leaving negative reviews (and to date, never left one on Yelp) but this place deserved one. We came in at 1:04PM on Sunday, November 27. At 1:16PM, we got a text message that "Your table is almost ready at BP - Redmond". We came in as soon as the message came in. We waited for tables to be emptied and noticed numbers ahead of us getting called. We approached the waiter and she claimed she called us at 1:10PM - 6 minutes before "Your table is almost ready at BP - Redmond" text came in. We were even willing to wait again in line for a seat, but what was worse was that the waiter was rude and proceeded to seat guests that just got in the restaurant. This was our first time treating our family out to Boiling Point for a birthday - and this experience with Redmond Boiling Point just cemented avoiding this place. We have been to the one at Renton before and experience was vastly better (service folks were so warm and welcoming) compared to what we experienced here. read more

Boiling Point - Ticket proof - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Boiling Point serves good and fresh hot pot under a mini stove at your table. It's particularly satisfying on a cold winter day. The interior is welcoming and decorated with themes of the hot pot dishes. I would recommend coming for lunch because of the slightly reduced prices and added free tea drink (choose between green or black tea that is lightly sweetened). Service and wait time can vary. Weekdays tend to be less busy especially right after opening time and during slower hours. During busier times, it can be hard to get servers' attention and they are less attentive to your party. The menu items are fixed with the exception of add-ons which you can pay extra for. My favorites are the Beef and Japanese Miso. The spiciness can be intense- I can usually tolerate mild spice at other restaurants, but here "mild" was a lot spicier than I'm used to, especially when combined with the heat of the hot pot. My biggest criticism is the lack of customizability. I personally dislike tofu and mushroom and I could not request any replacement for them (e.g. cabbage), which can result in preventable food waste. read more

I come here for the food not the service lol. Service here is always not the best. We waited to be seated, put our name in and saw our empty table that was clean and ready for us but appeared they were understaffed and we waited until more people came in they realized they should start looking at the seating. After about a 5 minute wait were seated. I like to come during lunch cause you get iced green or black tea with your hot pot. I always get the beef hot pot.

We came here on a weeknight and it was pretty empty. We got the miso soup and the house special. Both were very flavorful with lots of toppings and veggies in the soup. Our fire was too hot so we had to ask the waiter to put the fire out half way during our meal. The portions were pretty big but they did not provide that much carbs to go with each pot. Overall enjoyable meal and will be returning. read more
