I went here on Saturday and the wait was over an hour which was not surprising because it was cold and sprinkling that day. Usually when the weather is cooler and rains, the wait is usually longer. Once I got seated, I ordered the Mild Beef hot pot and honey green milk tea. My honey green milk tea was very sweet so note to self, next time, ask for less sweet. My mild beef hot pot was really flavorful and the portion was more than enough. Sadly, they didn't give us the chia tea jelly at the end. Service could be better but the workers were really busy trying to clean the tables so the next group can come in. read more

Boiling Point - Beef - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

First time at this location, and it was pretty good. We came right when it opened at 11 a.m. on Saturday and were the first customers. It looks like if you arrive before 12 p.m., there's no wait. After that, people start lining up. The food was on par with other Boiling Point locations. Service was fast, and everything tasted good. Overall, a solid spot. Note: Check Boiling Point's Instagram, they often post influencer codes in their posts for a free side dish. I was able to get a free cumin lamb, which is about $7. Parking: They have a medium-sized lot. read more

Boiling point just isn't the same anymore. At first they increased the price, but they also gave more meat but now its expensive and back to normal meat portions. The spicy fermented tofu wasnt as good as it was before. It was just spicy tofu. Nothing stinky about it. Their sauce container got better but the spoon is still small so you have to scoop alot to fill the sauce dish, But they have shrunk that as well and i live soy garlic and bean paste for dipping. Its been a few years since they made their mild as spicy as their medium back then. Now its not too bad. I usually get no spice but i was able to handle the mild this tine. At least they still give free tea for lunch. The thing they gave at the end also isnt as good as before. Parking in small but there is street parking so you might have a bit of a walk to get here. read more

One of my favorite places to get hot pot! I basically only come here during lunch time (for that free drink). Looks like there isn't a lot of food until you start eating it. Also the jelly they give you at the end is one of the best parts ! It is super tasty and refreshing! Portions are but the service is meh. Seems like all locations have poor service. You constantly have to ask for things like water refills, napkins, and more soup. Overall food is good, service is lacking. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

We were all craving hot pot for lunch one day so we decided to try Boiling Point with my SIL. Portions are large here but the food itself is underwhelming, the broth is too spicy, the staff are pretty inattentive, and the prices are high so I'm not sure we'd come again. Drinks are good though. For our lunches we all got the Beef soup at the mild spice level. The portions are generous and each soup comes with tons of add ins like tomato, corn, mushroom, tofu and tofu skins, meat ball, fish cake, imitation crab, and a few little veggie options. The tofu and veggies were decent. And while the portion of beef provided was impressive, much of it was extremely chewy and fibrous so wasn't very enjoyable.  The mild spice level was still very spicy - so much so that it masks any potential flavor in the broth. And the water refills were infrequent so that made it worse lol. They were extremely busy so it's understandable - but maybe they should consider water pitchers at each table or a central water station that's self-serve.  Each person gets their own burner stove at the table - but there's not a way to adjust the temperature and the soup is just constantly boiling heavily and overcooking everything so I really didn't like that.  For our drinks, my SIL got a green tea (iced) that comes with the lunch and said she really enjoyed it. Hubby and I shared a brown sugar ginger tea (hot) and it had a nice flavor overall - very ginger-forward - hubby loved it but it was too sweet for my liking. The drinks were definitely the win of our experience lol. Staff were friendly when available but definitely seemed overwhelmed. The vibes are minimalist and cafeteria-like. And the tables are packed tight so it gets very noisy and feels overcrowded. They have a small parking lot to the side and there's also street parking in the area. read more

Boiling Point is probably the best hot pot spot in SGV. There's almost always a line whenever we go, but it's still worth it every time. The broth is flavorful, the portions are satisfying, and everything comes out quickly. The service is consistently good, and the staff are efficient even when it's busy. That's not easy to maintain. Definitely one of my go-to hot pot places . read more

Boiling Point - #5 Lamb Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

10/12/25 Came around 7:30 PM on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded. We waited around 30 minutes to be seated. Food came out quick though. Standard boiling point taste. I got non spicy beef. They did run out or did not have the mutton though, which I was disappointed about. They also ran out of rice so we had to get noodles. They let you get extra cilantro + scallion herbs to sprinkle on your soup, but they ran out after giving two portions for the 6 of us to share. Service was pretty good despite how busy they were. They accommodated our requests for the promotion on how to charge the gift cards. The promo was get one free hot pot when you buy a $50 GC (that doesn't expire). A lid was missing from the sauces, which made me a feel a little uneasy about the cleanliness so one star off for that. The parking fills up quick but there is street parking. read more

Came for Chinese New Year dinner. There was a promotion online of free rice upgrade to the tomato beef for the month of February so that was nice of the chain. But this location lacks attention to detail. The staff seemed completely overwhelmed on a weekday night for dinner. Service was really kurt and seemed focused on getting people in and out. I asked for a soup top off early on and was promptly forgotten about. I waited and waited and by the time I waved down another attendant my fire was literally out. read more

I came here for my birthday because I heard Boiling Point gives a free hot pot + drink if it's your birthday with no purchase necessary. Obviously, I was very enticed by their free birthday deal, so I went along with my mother. Both of us ordered the Lamb hot pot, non-spicy. As for my free birthday drink, I got the Cha Jelly Milk Tea. However, we came during lunch hours, and you can get a free wintermelon tea or green tea! So my mom got the wintermelon tea. Our orders came pretty quickly, and I would say everything was pretty good! Our hot pots were tasty as everything was seasoned well! Although, surprisingly, I thought the meat tasted kinda bland, so I had to dip it in sauce. I really enjoyed my milk tea too, it was perfectly sweet and milky, had a strong tea flavor, and the jelly toppings were nice! I tried my mom's wintermelon tea, and that was good too, although a bit too sweet at first, but once the ice melted, it became perfect! Overall, I had a great birthday lunch here! To be honest, I wouldn't come here if it wasn't my birthday because I think the prices are a bit expensive for the portion of food you get. However, definitely recommend coming here for your birthday lol. read more

This is my second time coming here and although I love the food at boiling point, I would avoid this location as they have shady business practices. Both times I ordered here the amount shown on the tip screen was different from what they charged me. The tip percentage that they display also does line up with the actual amount it should be. Please take a good at your receipt before you leave or manually put in your tip amount. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

HUGE quantity of food. If you go at lunchtime you get the same amount of food for the same price, but you can get an additional free winter-melon or ice sweetened green tea. The meat at boiling point is very lean and not oily. The lamb was a bit too dry, the beef tasted better. I usually get the house special #1 or the lamb, both are good. The curry soup was surprisingly good too. Come with ALOT of ingredients and unlimited soup refills. The crispy dried beef flakes is not good. I've gotten it twice and both times reminded myself not to order it again next time haha guess I forgot. The stinky tofu was not good here. The portion was so tiny. This location is really small, about 1/4 the size of the Irvine location. HAPPY SOUPING! read more

Came on Friday with a group for dinner. No parking in the lot already and had to circle around on the side street. We didn't have a big group but still took a while before we were seated. Many groups sent a person to put their name down first and then the rest trickle in. Everyone kept asking about the wait and the waiters barely gave updates. A bit frustrating with the parking and the time it takes to get a table on a Friday night. The link to put down on the waiting list was not working and it became a paper list. I wonder if people would have the link and can put on the waitlist online. Finally got sat down and the waiter needed to be waived down to order and get refills of soup and water. We wanted a side dish and the only pork that is not spicy is the garlic one. Food was good portion and tasted good. They did not have the rose milk pot. read more

Boiling Point - Hot pots and a side of garlic pork - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This place deserves more love! - Service: they are quick and helpful, they know how to organize big groups on waitlist which I appreciate. - Food: The food is yummy as always! Though price has increased but they gave us more meat than before, one thing is it's hotpot but they only give out extra soup for dine in only, for togo would be extra charge as well as the sauce. Beef will be my to-go flavor! - Ambiance: They changed location so not as many tables as before but the wait isnt that long on weekday, but for weekend, it'd be least 20'mins wait. Note: if the owner ever read this, I do hope to have waitlist online so it cut the time of waiting also be generous with sauce and soup for to go read more

What We Ordered: -#4 Beef Hot Pot $22.73 We were driving down San Gabriel Blvd and stumbled upon another Boiling Point! We didn't know this location existed, but apparently, it's been around for a few years. This location is a bit smaller than the others, but larger than the MPK one. They have their own parking lot with ample parking, even during the week. I wasn't in the mood for Boiling Point, but my wife ordered her usual, the #4 Beef, which is always consistently good. They have some tasty sauces here, and one is a bit spicy. They were running a promotion, and we received a free green tea, which was a nice touch. The service is much better here than at the MPK location. We would definitely return! read more

Today was the second time I had lunch at this Boiling Point. My friend and I came at noon and were quickly seated. We both ordered seafood and tofu hot soup, mild. I ordered the same as the last time, because I truly enjoyed it down to the last drop of soup. The seafood and tofu hot soup comes with pork slices, 2 shrimps, 2 kinds of fish balls, cuttlefish rings, 2 tiny clams, fish fillet, tofu, mushrooms, vermicelli, an egg, and green veggies. The soup is served over open flame and is literally boiling. You get a choice of either a bowl of rice or noodles. I got the rice, and no extra charge when I ask for the second bowl. The 3 kinds of dipping hot sauces are very delicious and addictive. Each order of hot pot comes with complimentary iced sweet green tea. Service was prompt. The waitress offered to refill the broth before we even had to ask someone. The restaurant isn't very large, but pretty comfortable. We were seated by the windows, and I prefer this over sitting in the middle. Parking lot is limited, but luckily I was able to get a parking spot on San Gabriel Blvd. 2 hours free parking. If you can't finish your hot pot, you can ask for a plastic container for to go. However, we did finish everything, so truly no need. read more

Ordered beef mild for pickup on a rainy day. This location didn't skip out on the meat portions. Came for a lunch special with a free winter melon tea with purchase of an entree. I've been to a bunch of boiling points and the beef milds were way too spicy for it to be a mild but this location got it right and had proper packaging of sauces on the side as well read more

IDK if I should be reviewing chain restaurants like this but yeah its a 3/5. Id come back here just to eat boiling point bc I feel like everyone knows what boiling points tastes like atp. Parking is great. If its not packed, there is a lot right next to the restaurant. FOOD: House Special Hot Soup - $19.73 (3.5/5) This jsut got everything in it, meat wise, it got sliced pork, fish cake, meatballs, clams, quail eggs, etc. The meat was a bit overcooked (but it is served under an open fire, so you can extinguish it whenever. Come during lunch time for a cheaper meal and you also get a BOGO orange green tea! Anyway, this spot is the same everywhere and you cant really expect too much. If you are gonna be spending 20$ though, you are better off going somewhere else for tastier food. Service was great though! Not too long of a wait. Its a cool concept with the open flame under the pot. read more

Decided to spend my birthday at boiling point because of the free meal and drink you get. They have a small parking lot and a lot of street parking around. To redeem a free birthday meal you just show them your ID card and it has to be on your exact date. I got the lamb and for my drink I got the amber oolong. It was my first time trying both and they were both great. The lamb was really filling and I had to take half home with me! At the end of the meal they give you this shit of like chia seeds. It also tastes lemony. It was a nice palette cleanser. read more

I ordered the beef hot pot mild spicy and it tastes exactly the same as I remember. The broth is rich and the ingredients inside are well balanced. I would recommend mild spicy for most people, because the medium spice level is a little too much for me to enjoy. The price has gone up a bit, but they now advertise double meat, which helps justify it. They also offer a free green tea or winter melon tea during lunch, so it's worth coming before 3pm. The staff is friendly and they offer free broth refills, which I really appreciate since I'm a big fan of hot soup. Portions are just right for one person. Parking is very limited, so keep that in mind when you visit. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

BP is always an easy go to for comfort and healthy food! Currently, there's a social media promo (6/26 to 7/27/2025) to get free appetizer (any) plus a free drink (any) with a purchase of a hotpot. (You can just show the social posts to redeem on insta @boilingpointgroup ). I finally decided to try the new rose milk hotpot flavor ($19.98 dinner). It reminds me of the seafood hotpot since it had shrimp, fish, and and reg tofu. It also comes with pork and Udon, with cabbage being the main veggies inside, with interesting but delicious additions of green beans, reminiscent of SEA cooking them in coconut milk. Ingredients aside, the broth flavor has a light, seafood flavor, and creaminess from the milk. The rose part mostly just adds fragrance and doesn't mess with the taste. The overall taste is savory, not sweet and savory. Nothing too avant garde nor too mind blowing either; still prefer some of the other soup flavors more. Spicy Cumin Lamb ($7.01/"free") was delicious. It is basically a side of cooked la b garnied in cumin and sauce. I liked it! But I wonder if it is about the same amount of meat one could get by ordering extra meat add on instead. read more

Like any other boiling point, be prepared to wait except if you come early and are the first round. I find that coming at opening has the least wait times. Parking isn't too great there - there is a small lot and some street parking. It's right off San gabriel blvd and there usually a ton of people waiting outside. I came here on a rainy day at 3pm and there was surprisingly still a wait lol. You can't really beat boiling point and what they offer. Their sauces are like none other and no one has really matched it. Hotpot howls ready to go with rice or noodles. Love the free broth refills. I usually ask them to turn the fire off bc I don't like it when it's too hot. Haha Overall, this boiling point location has more spacious feel although most boiling point tables and seating areas are pretty tight. I know servers are doing their best as there is high demand for BP. we love them and will always come back read more

When they hand you your rice they put their fingers in the rice. It is. a bit gross. I understand they need to get a grip but yea. Their parking lot is small but there is street parking in front of their establishment. It's always busy in here and the food will always be the same. Make sure to download the app to get some points. There is double points on the 15 and 30 of the month when you eat. Additionally when you go during lunch there is green tea or winter-melon juice included in your meal. The place had some music going and is a good place to get a cozy warm meal, it's just a bit unsanitary is all. Additionally they have one bathroom and sometimes the utensils are still wet from cleaning possibly? They just switched from an ipad queue to online which in my opinion is worse because you can't see how long until your table, only they can. read more

Stopped by this Boiling Point on a Thursday around 6:30 PM. No wait at all when I got there, and it stayed pretty empty the whole time. There's some street parking and a small lot, which is nice. First time at this location, but I've been to the old San Gabriel one, Monterey Park, and Irvine ones before. Honestly, they're all pretty similar--food is consistent, service is just OK. FYI, they won't seat you unless your whole party is there. I got the No. 1, mild spice, with rice. The spice level was super light, so if you like heat, you'll definitely want to ask for more or add some of the sauces at the table (they have four options, a couple that are spicy). If you order vermicelli noodles, it now comes in a packet that you can toss in yourself. The portion size is good with plenty of meat, but I do wish it came with more veggies. I usually go for the No. 1 because it has intestine and fermented tofu--definitely not for everyone, but I'm into those stronger flavors. Food came out at a decent pace. As for service, they take your order and that's pretty much the last you see of them. Inside is super plain. Just tables and chairs, nothing really going on decor-wise. At the end they give you a little aiyu jelly pack, which is a nice, but I still miss the basil seed lemonade they used to hand out. It was so much more refreshing. Overall, solid/consistent spot if you're craving hot soup. read more

Food and drinks were good. The service is still lacking. Staff needs better training and they are not attentive at all. No soup refills, no water refills, & had to wave down a person to order. We had to ask multiple times for extra bowls/ utensils. Multiple staff saw our table and made eye contact but pretended they didn't see. Weird behavior. They are intentionally slow here. Recommend going to the Arcadia location instead. Like many other reviews have mentioned, the staff here needs to get some customer service training. read more

Boiling Point is my go to whenever I'm craving for something hot and soupy. It was my first time dining at this BP location since they moved here. Their parking lot is pretty small. We were lucky and took the last spot available otherwise we would've had to do street parking. Wait time wasn't too bad considering we came on a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:40 pm and got seated around 6 pm. We ordered 3 bowls to split between 4 people. My go to is the beef bowl. I ordered it mild this time and it was pretty spicy. I think I'll stick with no spicy from now on. I feel like their mild differs every time. Sometimes it really is mild, other times it tastes like my tongue is on fire. We also upgraded the rice to the beef rice which I don't think was worth it. read more

we came on my mom's birthday and learned from another review that you can show your id as proof to redeem a free pot & drink! :-) its around a $25 value which is great. no need to have an account or anything like that. the only thing is that the day you go has to be your exact birthday that matches on your id. located down a big street, theres both a small parking lot & street parking. this restaurant is one the smaller end, which meant we had to wait to be seated. interior is clean and the servers are so attentive! the food is standard to other boiling points, which means super yummy. the portion of beef seemed more than usual, but maybe it's just been a while since i've gone. my favorite is the beef pot. would come back! parking was easy and the service was great. thanks! read more

I love Boiling Point, especially when the weather gets colder! Their quality is really consistent across all the different locations. My favorite is the Korean bean paste (mild) with rice. I love making a sauce to dip my food in with the sauces they have on every table. Try to come for lunch special where you get a small discount and a free green tea or black tea. Their prices have gone up over the years, but the quality has remained consistent unlike other places. I highly recommend coming early to avoid the lines! read more

Now I understand the bad reviews despite the tasty food. We got "mild" beef bowl. Keep in mind, Mild has a kick. It's spicy enough for teens to not finish it. When I got mine I realized this and told them it's too spicy. The manager said that since it's almost done, they wouldn't allow for me to return it, but I had to tell them my teenager cannot eat spicy food. That they really should mention mild means spicy. It is my fault for reading the menu, but I also feel like there is a responsibility from the wait staff to tell you. Especially if you see children. Disappointing to say the lease and they took forever to bring out the reorder. Needless to say, I would not come back. read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday night during dinner time and the wait was around an hour, which apparently isn't bad as I heard it can be even longer. We parked on a residential street near the restaurant, as the small parking lot next to BP was full. This BP used to be located in a larger location with more parking, but this is my first time at this new location. I do prefer the previous location more. I got the beef soup with rice with medium spice. It was nice, not too spicy but had a kick. The food quality at this BP is similar to most other BPs, so I was satisfied with my dish. Their sauces are always a hit with me, I feel like they really elevate the dish. I like coming to BP for a casual lunch/dinner spot, but I'm not sure if I would come back to this location given the limited parking and indoor seating. There's other BP locations around the area that is bigger and the food quality at all these locations are pretty much the same. read more

The beef hot soup and spicy tangy beef appetizer is good! However the BEEF BOWL UPGRADE IS NOT GOOD. It is burnt and basically made half my rice uneatable.

Honestly, this place is not that bad. Food: The foods here are great, I mean absolutely good. I would rate the foods a 4.844 out of 5 stars. Service: Honestly, the service here is OK, not bad, I'll rate the service a 3.896 out of 5 stars. Ambiance: The ambiance of this place is a bit dirty; I saw something on my chopsticks, and there were few napkins. The toilet was extremely dirty, however the restroom overall is pretty good. The soap did not really work much. I would rate the ambiance a 3.24 out of 5. Overall, this restaurant is pretty good for its food; that is pretty much it.

Boiling Point - #1 House Special Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Taiwanese style hotpot. The individually bubbling hot pot comes in a mini wok that's already cooked and pre-assembled, it's placed on a portable burner so it remains HOT! Nice presentation. You choose from the 10 variety of soup flavors on the menu from Taiwanese spicy to Korean Bean Paste to Thai Tomato. Pick your level of spice. I like medium hot with the option to add more spice - The Sauce dispenser can be found at each table. The Only downside: No substituting of ingredients allowed; but you can ADD extra ingredients (for additional charge). Complimentary iced teas are a nice gesture. Get here early for lunch or dinner service. This place always has a line and gets packed. read more

Came here because we always love boiling point! This was our first time at this location and we were glad there was parking! We're biased so food was solid, however I guess also in usual boiling point fashion it felt like service is always whatever, but that could also be because they don't have enough servers when it's busy. But can't complain too much because we're used to it. But for others here maybe manage your expectations! read more
