    This review might be a bit biased as I love hot pots however they are - mini personalized pots or shared hot pots. I live hot soup with noodles and a variety of meats and ingredients. Hot pots are my comfort food. Boiling Point's concept is simple - prepared mini pots with different ingredients and flavours. We were basically asked whether we like udon or vermicelli. Some pots come spicy and spice level can be made less spicy to your liking. There are sauces and spices on the table. We ordered the House Special Hot Soup, Seafood &Tofu Hot Soup and Beef Hot Soup. Each were good, portions were more than enough for me. I always love a hot pot of noodle soup, my type of comfort food for sure.

    Boiling Point restaurant is highly recommended for its affordable hot pots. They have a variety of choices such as beef soup, Korean soup, seafood, curry etc. My friends and I went there a few times and we got to taste different flavours, we ended up liking beef, Korean and seafood, there are times when the hot pot is full of veggies and little meat sometimes just the right amount but overall it's fulfilling and sometimes theirs even leftover, cause we're so full. For about twenty dollars you get a hot pot, your choice of rice or vermicelli, free milk teas during lunchtime and a jelly snack. I can say it is worth trying out if you haven't checked on them yet.

    It's so busy here On a Friday night, we waited for 20min for a table They don't take reservations here They have photos of the hot pot on the wall without descriptions so the scanned QR code menu is more helpful The Lamb hot pot was pretty tasty. It comes with thin slices of lamb, tofu, cabbage, egg, beam thread, 1 clam, imitation crab stick, firm tofu, pork blood, mushrooms and pickled veggies. I also get a choice of extra bean thread or bowl or steamed rice They also give a cup of water in a sealed cup ( like the ones for bubble tea) to each guest instead of reusable cups. The food was tasty and the order is ready in a flash I understand that dinner rush is busy, but the staff were also very loud when cleaning tables quickly and stacking the finished hot pot stands away. It was just very inconsiderate for the patrons who are eating and having to hear all this. I would probably come back on a weeknight to try their other hot pot and drinks It's very tough to find parking in this plaza

    Beef hot pot, $18.15 (dinner price), 9/10: One of boiling points classics, and my first time trying the beef HP from here! I love how the beef is thinly sliced which absorbs more flavour in the soup. The portions of the veggies and other ingredients were also very generous making it a balanced meal! I recommend dipping your food in their garlic soy sauce.Spiciness is adjustable too! Scallion gravy rice (+$1.25 upgrade from reg rice), 6/10: Rice portions are also huge! I wanted to try this out but overall nothing special. The strong onion taste of the scallion didn't go too well with the runny gravy, and it did get more salty & oily at the end. If you don't want to upgrade you can always stick with their complimentary vermicelli or regular white rice! They will also provide free lemon jellies after your meal The last time I went was Nov. 2020. Since then their seating area now is back to full capacity, and we were able to get a spot right away on a Saturday evening! Boiling point continues to keep it safe with plexi glass as well. Service is still really good with the employees checking in on our food! Everything came within 5 mins, love the efficiency! Lunch time is cheaper & it comes w/ a free drink but dinner is just as enjoyable!

    We were here on a friday dinner. Its always busy here. The parking lot is pretty small shared with other restaurants so it takes awhile to look for a spot. I would recommend one person to go in the place and reserve a spot as they call the number when a table gets ready. So obviously there's no reservation in advance here. They have the QR menu available while waiting so when we sat down we were all ready to place our orders. We ordered the seafood and tofu and the beef flavour The portion is good! Unlimited soup. Very tasty! Their prices went up since last I was here but COVID happened. They check vaccination identification and have a plexi glass to separate your party from the other table. Clean but I wish you can just pay in ur table instead of lining up just because we have the boiling point reward card.

    Haven't been here for a while, so it was time to hit it up again. This place is chock full of college kids. My buddy and I felt super old eating here. The interior looks pretty much the same as before as well. Their hot pot seems to have improved compared to the last time I was here (5 years ago). Looks like there's more food in the pots now. The spice levels on the menu are tailored to North American standards (ie weak sauce). I had my pot "very spicy" (3 chili peppers) and didn't even blink. Extra meat can be had for a few bucks more. Just be sure to cook any raw meat before the gel flame under the pot runs out.

    I give it four stars for the concept but I wish they had more fish filet options. Lots of vegetables and you can ask for less salt. Not a big fan of fatty pieces of pork or pork blood. I recommend to try this place when you're in an exotic mood. 20 minute wait time last Sunday -- when you arrive, take a number and wait. Ask for a menu while you're waiting because it's a lot of reading. Was going to prefer the flower pop but changed my mind because I found out it's not 'pop' it's just tapioca pearls in chrysanthemum flavoured water with brown sugar. Cool name though!

    I was surprise how different this Boiling Point is compared to the Seattle one. I had a little bit too much of an expectation here to begin with. Concept is the same. Well food menu and drinks are the same. Came in put down your name and wait to be called. LIke the one in USA, lots of young people here. But of course this BP is way smaller than the Seattle one. So I ordered the lamb hot soup and my mom ordered the seafood veggie hot soup. Well my lamp hot soup doesn't have much lamb. Well told them to get rid of the pork blood (sounds really nasty) well I don't want bloody soup. Apparently you can take out but not substitute. Oh well. One less thing in my pot for the same price. My mom ordered the Seafood Veggie Hot Soup and I was surprised. When I saw it I was like is that Veggie soup?? I asked and the newbie trainie guy said yes. So I see more green then seafood. I mean there is hardly any seafood in there. But at the end of the day my mom and I were full. The drinks are good but not as good as the Seattle Boiling Point. My mom and I both got the Hokaido milk tea, which I proudly recommended to her. As a tip you will be better off to order rice then vermicelle and the reason why is that the hot soup already come with vermcellie. The rice will make it less soupy. You don't have to eat the rice but the rice acts like it soaks up the soup kind of idea. Unless you like to have soup then rice might not be ideal. Like I say I was a bit disappointed when realizing the Seattle one is way better.

    Cold? hungry? and want something hot in order to warm up in the raincouver weather? Why not try Taiwanese Hot Pot, especially when you have your own serving, another words your own order - this place is something that you should consider visiting. This Boiling point Richmond location for some reason taste better, from the broth to the meat - in my honest opinion it taste fresher!! I order the Lamb Hot Pot - and does not taste gamey at all. My partner ordered the house special hot pot - she like it as well! Very tasty! However dinner parking can be a challenge and be hard to find. It gets very busy!! This location gets busy during 5:00 pm and onwards. You need to take a ticket to ensure you're lined up to wait for a seat. It does move quite quickly though. Service is very good and when we wanted tea or water - extra napkins. The waitresses ensured that we got the service and she was in training - well done!! Will come back again !

    From my last review Feb 2011, I didn't return to Boiling Point over 2 years. It's time to write another update review. Basically, not much change on menu even the quality of food. I found they have few new items on the menu and price increased. My hubby ordered curry fish balls hot pot in medium spicy was ok. Curry based broth was so light and only has 5 fish balls and other mixed vegetables with rice. My beef hot pot in mild spicy wasn't spicy at all and beef so chewy. The super thin tofu with small chuck of corn with some vegetables made the pot look better.

We ordered the soup with the expectation that it would be in some medium-sized bowl that the two of us can easily share. The soup actually was giant and is meant for a family. Luckily, it was absolutely delicious; the pork was super tender, the egg fits in perfectly, and the broth was tasty. Every drop was finished. The braised pork belly was also delicious. Tender and fatty, I wished there was so much more sauce for the rice to soak in. I'm also a super fan of pork floss, so loved its inclusion. The side is also noteworthy. The radish soup was so flavorful yet light, and the tofu was fantastic. Everything we ate was five stars on its own. Only panic was when paying our server said they only accept cash or debit? I only had credit cards and American money, but in the end, she was able to use my credit card. Not sure what that was about.

Not sure why that's not an option. Definitely a missed opportunity for the business imho. Oh... and the kimchi was a bit weird with the fact that it's overly sweet. Overall, good value and good food. Service depends on who you get. 3.5 stars

    Vegetarian Three-Cup King Oyster Mushrooms on Rice…read more I've had this dish before and came back for another round. This time, I decided to level up and chose medium spice... a decision my taste buds are still discussing. Ordering is done through a QR code, and you can customize your dish -- with or without ginger, plus your spice level: mild, medium, or hot. The chef was very generous with the sauce and chilis this time. When they say medium, they don't mean "a little kick"... they mean "welcome to the chili party." The dish came with so many chilis that I started wishing there was a little more rice to help balance the heat. Thankfully, the restaurant serves hot tea, which became my superhero in a cup and helped calm down the spice attack. ‍ I clearly underestimated the "medium" spice level -- but spice levels are funny because they really depend on the restaurant. One place's medium is another place's "are you sure you're ready for this?" Still a tasty and flavourful dish, and I'll definitely remember to respect the chilis next time.

They're even friendly to vegetarians, with an entire page of the menu dedicated to vegetarian dishes. We had the popcorn chicken, the stir fried bok choy, the sha cha chao mian with lamb (the anglicized name for this on the menu is "signature ancestral herbal satay with fried noodles), and the noodle soup with beef brisket and tomato. For three people, this was the perfect amount of food for a hearty dinner. Our favorites were definitely the popcorn chicken and the noodle soup. The popcorn chicken was perfectly and delicately fried, SO JUICY on the inside, and seasoned just right with a lovely basil aroma. The noodles were toothsome and swimming in a gorgeous broth with the most tender beef. Stir fried bok choy is pretty standard but definitely a must if you want really any vegetables in this meal. Sha cha chao mian with lamb was good -- lamb was perfectly cooked, very tender. The noodles themselves are nice but the flavor is a bit one dimensional. Service here is really good. They are so nice, and very fast!

The tofu pudding was AMAZING - freshly made with a delicate soy milk flavor, silky smooth and melts in your mouth. The yam balls are equally impressive, nice yam flavor with just the right amount of chewiness. I could happily eat this all day!

    Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.
