Only been here once on a Friday night and it was fairly empty... which was rather shocking seeing how their Bellevue location is always always crowded. I think I recognize some of the workers who used to work at the Bellevue location. Having been to both the Seattle and the Bellevue one, consistency has been a key strong point for BP over the years and this one hits the mark. Definitely enjoyed how "emptier" it was. read more

The food is good. The price is on the higher side (approx $16-20/person). The wait times can be long. The service is HORRIBLE. Srsly! The service alone can put me in such a lousy mood, it totally takes away from enjoying the good food they have. I'm not talking about slow service or not checking in with our table from time to time. I'm talking about full out rude behavior like walking away from you while in the middle of a conversation because she didn't want to bother explaining why they are giving a table to another same size group that walked in later. Or staring past you when you waving for attention (we all needed refills). And worse, making an annoyed face when approaching our table. I've often wondered if the food is really worth sitting through the horrible service... read more

Love BP! I like that everyone gets to choose their own soup; all which are super tasty. :) My favorites are the curry and Korean bean paste. This happens to be my favorite BP location! The service in general is good, but GREAT when you get RE MAI. She is so sweet and attentive even when it's busy! Love her! If you enjoy hot pot, try BP! :) read more

This place was ok. I like the feed me written on the wall and the design on the napkin and milk tea cup! i like the tofu and seafood hot pot! Thank you! read more

Boiling Point - Seafood hot pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

UNDINGED! they actually filled out my punch card happily when I mentioned it! I LOVE THIS PLACE! (I loved them anyway but now its cold and rainy so I'm there all the time!) read more

If you are starving to death and in the middle of the desert, you still might want to rethink whether or not you waste what little liquid is left in you body for rehydration because chances are good that you'll be filling up your own water glass here. Ordered the house special, one with one star and one with no stars. A very tricky order, but somehow they managed to get it wrong. Had to get out a flare gun to get them back to the table so my daughter could get a milk tea for her too spicy food that they messed up. Told the waitress that she gave me the wrong food, she said literally nothing, so I told her again to make sure she didn't respond. She didn't. I imagine filling the rice bowls with your bare hands probably affects the number of brain cells you have left to process the idea of customer service. I don't imagine this place will last long. The smell of sterno is literally their best feature. read more

Love boiling point! Love the house special. They now have the app. Super easier to track wait time which is usually a problem.

I love BP but had the worst experience yesterday when they tried to hurry us at 10:15 pm by taking away our sauces! The waiter came up to us and said "can we take the sauce container my coworker needs to leave and she needs to clean them out before she does", I get that but they don't close until 11pm! So we didn't have enough sauce to eat our meal with! The reason we went out yesterday was to enjoy our meal outside peacefully but we couldn't and ended up leaving dissatisfied read more

2020-11-29. Current WA state status is no indoor dinning. So, I ordered take-out by calling them. Food ready in 20 minutes. They have a take-out menu. You will get a big bowl of soup and all the ingredients in it, plus a bowl of noddle. Food tasted good. read more

Very rude and pretty unprofessional waitress. One waitress commanded to move our table without our consent. The waitresses are chatting very loudly about after-work activities. The food is still OK. Yet the service has declined since I first visited one year ago. I will give this store one more chance to see if the service has improved. read more

Small location but food good. Milk tea is little too sweet. Customer service is good. Got the spicy Taiwanese. Would only recommend if you really like spicy. read more

A normal lunch spot for us since it's near the hubby's work and we never seem to have a problem getting seated because we're usually the first ones there (before the lunch rush). Hot pot always hits the spot especially in this cold weather and we always share the Thai flavor-2 star with side orders of ramen, beef and fish ball (for the little booger). Service is friendly but sometimes you have to flag them down when it gets busy. The only thing that really irritates me is how close some of the tables are. I mean, it's a small place but two inches between the tables is a bit much. All in all, we're glad they opened this location :) read more

The food here is fresh and tastes like it is good quality. It's a fun experience to have your food served in piping hot cast iron, but the food cooks quickly and keeps cooking. It's too hot to eat right away so it keeps cooking so you end up with over cooked food. read more

So awesome to have this great hotpot place in Redmond now. Choices are all good, spices complements the soup well. Perfect for the cold winter! read more

Decent food, good location in Redmond, definitely a good place to stop in if you haven't had Hot Pot style cuisine before. My partner and I were getting over colds and didn't feel like cooking. We decided to go looking for a Pho place close by. This location is between my home and office, so its' the perfect place to stop for dinner on the way home. The soup was amazing, but a little different if you're used to a more Americanized Asian-fare you get in the less urban parts of the country. We just moved from Alaska, and there is nothing like this there. We got there a little after 5 P.M. on a weeknight and the place was pretty much empty. The first I noticed was the smell. I think it might be for the filament they use under the hot pot, but it smelled a little like dog's dried kibble and was incredibly off putting. I think it may be just been that the place was empty so you didn't walk in smelling the food. We ordered, and the food came out pretty quick. I ordered mine mild, but still found it to be very spicy. I don't mind spicy, but if the one star spice was making my eyes and nose water I had to wonder what 3 or 5 would have done. There were these crazy flat screen TVs on the walls asking some silly questions or offering silly facts about the restaurant that no one would possibly care about, but as we sat there I ended up memorizing that their punch cards have expiration dates, and the latest they will sit someone is 10:30 p.m. Most comments we read was that it's always a long wait, or extremely busy. I am around this part of Redmond a lot and I have never seen this place very busy. If you're a fan of hot pot I would highly recommend checking it out. If you have never had hot pot at all before, I would also recommend it. I haven't been to other hot pot places before, so I don't have anything else to compare it to. I wouldn't be surprised if I go back, but it's not the highest on my list of places I want to repeat with so many things to try here in Redmond read more

Second time here in the redmond location, easier to find a parking than the one in Bellevue location. My friends always prefer to meet at BP for lunch because their menu is simple and easy. And everyone get their own pot with their choice of combination. The lunch order came with a choice of white rice or vermicelli, also it came with your choice of red or green iced tea. I tried the Taiwanese hot pot, this pot don't have the option to pick the spicy level like other hot pot which you can pick from none, mild, medium, very spicy and flaming spicy. The Taiwanese pot is too spicy for me personally. Would stick to my other choices like Korean, beef or creamy milk. read more

I cannot believe I never wrote rating about BP. I have been dinning here since three years ago on a weekly basis. I love the lamb soup and miso soup. very tasty. only complaint is sometimes the waiting time is crazy. they should open more stores. read more

Quite good. Nice place for hot pot. Taiwan chouchou guo looks nice. The spicy beef is a little over cooked. Curry is good. The size is pretty big. read more

I used to go to the Edmonds location all the time with my family. We to this location after my sister came back from college since it is closer to our new house. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Location is very small and all the tables were crammed together. All the workers were bumping into people, chairs, and tables, and they were extremely rude. My sister ordered the house special and she found uncooked, pink meat in her dish even though she left the fire on the whole time. 80% of all our hot pots were just cabbage as well. I would not come back. read more

Very disappointed. I've had hot pot around the world so I was not expecting much. And not much was delivered. Light on the ingredients, lacking on service. Broth was just like salt water. I don't have much to say really other than I am willing to try again. Maybe just an off day for them. read more

Won't seat you after 10:30. Why post that you're open until 11:00? Just say closed at 10:30. The sterno served with your soup stinks like burning plastic. Determined to eat here again... Between 10:29 and 11:30. read more

The hot pot here is very especial. Try the number 1 hot pot :-) number 4~5 are also good for meat lovers.

Overall-- really great place to eat on a cold day. The Taiwanese hotpot is one of the spiciest soups I've ever had-- really hit the spot. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of meat in the pot and they only have one non-vegetarian appetizer (pork) on the menu. I had the plum juice and it was way too sweet. Would've given this place 4 stars if we didn't have to wait almost an hour to get a seat! They need a bigger location for sure. read more

I would give less star if I could! My friend end up being sick after eating at this restaurant. Yes, boiling point has a reputation, their Bellevue location try so hard to keep it, however this location is doing whatever they can to ruin it. Their soup taste just like hot water with spice pack--- yes, exactly how you "Cook" instant noodles! So they don't even need to provide us water to drink! Because their soup taste just like water! Not providing water for your customer to drink can't be the "smart" trick to let us buy your milk tea or whatever. I mean, really?? I have not been to a restaurant that don't give their customers water. Now I have. Plus, the question on your tv is the dum-est thing I ever seen. It is only showing us how desperate this restaurant is, and nothing else. Good luck eating here, fellows. read more

Too slow! Maybe lack of waiters, I see there are several table empty but the waiter keeps us waiting for another 20mins..... really need to improve their management read more

Obviously nobody's eating out today, it's too dangerous to drive through this thick snow. For those who still had to come to work today, YOU deserve a raise more than anyone. the upper management just don't give a damn about their employees. No wonder people complain about bad service, how do you expect your workers to work hard when you don't give a sht about them? 5 stars for the employees and 0 for boiling point. read more

Good hot pot !! Server is very nice! Ordered the Taiwanese hot pot, super hot , but I like it ! Nice place

It's good and will do well in a pinch when you need a hot and hearty soup. Place is small and often full. Service is prompt and servers are very nice. Broth is flavorful. It won't knock your socks off but the food is good. read more

Man it is tough to get into this place. I tried the beef hotpot and it was pretty yummy. I have also tried the flaming hot Taiwanese which I would not recommend for obvious reasons! read more

Promotion was offered on boiling point website for Redmond location (2for1 drink at happy hour 3-6). I asked if I could order the drinks on the promotion and the staff told me I could not because they do not know about this promotion. So I told them that it is on your website and they said it is not a public information so they could not offer the promotion. So I showed them their bp website which shows there is promotion but now the staff says their system is not updated to offer the promotion. The staff started to look pissed and gave me attitude instead of the promotion. After 5-10min of back and forth argument I finally got the offer. I have never seen a restaurant staff argue that much when they did not know about their own promotion. read more

The reason why I only put one star is because their terrible and unfriendly services. If there will be a line in front of you, don't believe they ask you to wait only 20-30mins. We waited for an hour. Some other customers left because boiling points (BP) asked them to wait 30 mins, but when they came back around the time, the waiter told them their name had been removed from the waiting list. During the hour that we waited for a table, I saw two groups of people arguing with the waiter because of this issue. More frustratedly, the place is crowded so you need to share the same table with other customers. I don't mind at the very beginning, but when the waiter came and asked the people next to us whether they were done with their hotspots when there were OBVIOUSLY still a lot of food in it. The people next to me said to the waiter :" this is the second time you asked whether I am all done, would you please not to push me to finish?" And then I heard the waitress left and said in mandarin:" how dare can you mad at me?" I felt really uncomfortable for the all service and the interaction between customers and waiters. I love BP and I've been to the Seattle branch several times. Every time when my friend asks my idea for a meal, I would say BP without thinking. However, I will never go to the Redmond branch anymore. read more

Boiling Point are one of my favorite place to eat. But the reason for me to give this place two star is because they always seems to run out of certain popular menu and the service is pretty terrible. If I'd recommend, Boiling Point in downtown Bellevue is much better than this one even the service is similar. At least Boiling Point in downtown Bellevue almost never run out of stock. read more

This is their newer location, although smaller than the ones in Bellevue and Chinatown. Good news is it's way less busy, so instead of a guaranteed 30-60min line, we were seated immediately. Wait, did I just ruin it for myself by sharing that? Damn. Anyways, it's just as good as the other precious locations, same menu with good food and service, reasonable prices and portions. So yeah don't come here, go to the other 2 instead so this one doesn't start getting packed too! read more

Food was good, but definitely lacked good customer service. As soon as we sat, we expected to get our waters right away but nope, we actually had to grab water ourselves after our food had arrived. Everyone seemed to be moving very very fast as well, so I didn't the chance to ask anyone for water. No water refills. I noticed there were at least 4 workers working on the floor but none was kind enough to walk around refilling waters. Maybe they need to get actual glasses of water so they could see which glasses need refills? I wouldn't expect much service here, our server never checked in on us and we had to flag someone down every time we needed something. So I suggest everyone to do the same! read more

This boiling point is no better than Bellevue one in terms of customer experience. Waited 20mins for check, another 20mins for cards. If need to hire more people, just do so. read more

This is my favorite place ever even though I have to wait a little bit long. I like my Thai hot pot which is number 10. I have tried number 8, and it's so spicy, but still good to me. read more

One of my go tos for dinner. I'm a health nut if you've read my other reviews so I'm quite picky and tend to go to places that offer lots of fresh vegetable and low carb options. I love hot pot as I love my vegetables lightly cooked rather than raw so this place has more vegetable options than your typical restaurant. The soup is always super tasty and we find that sharing a larger got hot pot and getting extra vegetables is the perfect amount and cuts out rice/noodles aka carbs in half as we only get one serving of carbs per hot pot. Probably not the highest quality meat and seafood (as is standard in most restaurants) but protein sure beats sugar and carb overload (which causes high blood pressure and diabetes leading to stroke and heart attack eventually). I also love their organic vegetable hot pot, it's not quite as tasty but the healthiest option. Friendly, fast, economic, tasty, healthy dinner option. read more

Went here this past Friday night after stopping by the Bellevue location just to find out that the wait is 1.5 hours! We called ahead and the restaurant said that there was no wait. When we arrived, the place only had 3 tables occupied -- totally worth the 15-minute drive east! Food: the last time we had boiling point was maybe 4-5 years ago and I don't remember being blown away; that's why we haven't been back. But this time, we absolutely loved our food! I had the miso hotpot and thought that the broth was very flavorful. I didn't even use the dipping sauce that much because it didn't need it. The broth provided ample flavoring for the meat and vegetables. The rice was warm and fluffy (just had to comment on that because...well...rice is bomb). Service: nice and friendly. We had to ask for water a couple of times but it's not their fault because it's hard to tell whether a paper cup is empty or full. They were attentive and helpful when we asked for extra plates or water. Overall, food is good and price was reasonable (~$16 for the bigger hotpot). Will definitely be back! I'm so glad that they opened this location! read more

I had the absolute worst experience of my life here last night first of all i came from the hospital to pick up food my mother ordered in when i arrived the girl was very rude and very rushed about giving me my pick up order so much so that she gave me someone elses to go order! Then i drive to kirkland i see i have the wrong order. I call and a man answers and says he will compensate me for the order and he appoligizes . I arrive to the shop with the old order in hand to return and get my soup and they tell me they can not compensate me one free soup or anything a coupon or discount next time for MY TIME WASTED DRIVING BACK TO THEIR ESTABLISHMENT TO CORRECT A MISTAKE THEY MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE! IF YOU WANT RUDE AND UNRELIABLE SERVICE THEN THIS IS THE SPOT! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS I WORK IN A RESTAURANT AND KNOW TO CHECK THE ORDER BEFORE GIVING IT TO THE CUSTOMER AND I ALSO COMPENSATE WHEN I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE! Good job on being bad read more
