Loved the Individual Hot Pot, made-to-order beef hot soup, super bold and spicy! Server was also very nice!

I went to the original location and saw a sign that they moved. It wasn't too far from the old location. At the new location parking lot is much smaller. It was full but I found parking on the street and walk over. The new location is smaller but brighter. There is a kiosk machine outside so be sure to get your table number. I kind of miss the old location. It has a vibe to it. Some may think this location is more convenient. read more

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. I would rate this place a 3.856 out of 5 if I could. read more

Long wait time as this spot is pretty popular. The best time to be here is when they open at 11am. If you miss the first seating, then expect to wait for the next one around 12:30 or so. I always order the Lamb which is not gamey and much better tasting that their house special or beef. Trust me. They also do unlimited rice refills if you opt for that but in satisfied with the vermicelli instead. They also have the app where you can gather points but that takes some serious spending and the $10 voucher as reward has a short expiration date. read more

The new Boiling Point opened up at the old location that used to be A+ Tea House. I saw on BP's Instagram that they were doing a limited time offer of a mutton hot pot so I wanted to go there and try it. First of all, this place has a parking lot right next door, which is good. Street parking was not a problem either. It's a Saturday and there were a lot of people waiting outside already. I actually walked inside the restaurant to look for a waiting list but they directed me outside to a tablet that let you put in your phone number on the waiting list. Then you could sit on the benches outside and wait. In the winter, waiting outside for around 30 minutes is not enjoyable. (I actually got a cold after this visit which was not that pleasant.) Inside, there's actually a lot of space in the middle, and I didn't understand why they didn't add more tables. I guess they rearranged some tables for bigger parties. My friend and I both ordered the mutton hot pot, and we also ordered an appetizer called Holy Cow, which is a combination. I could not believe the value of this appetizer. For $8, there were just a few pieces of pig's ear and stewed beef. It's more like a small snack. I commented on this ridiculous portion size considering the price, and the server boy only apologized. Nothing much he could do. I couldn't believe this rip-off! Do not order this appetizer! The whole thing is smaller than the size of a lady's palm. The mutton hot pot itself was fine. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it's still fine. The soup base was very herbal. There are only a little bit of greens on top and lots of vermicelli at the bottom. I think the value of this is not as good compared to the other hot pots on the regular menu. I would rather get the regular items on the menu than this limited time offer. Overall, I would give this place a 2.5-star rating, but since I couldn't, I'll round it up to be nice, as I did like this place before. It's just that the value of their hot pots were eaten away by inflation and it's actually expensive to eat here now. And the appetizer size is definitely a rip off! read more

I came here via car for dinner on a Thursday in mid November 2024. They have a small party lot next door so that was easy and free. There was no line when we went. I ordered what I normally get at Boiling Point: beef mild with scallion rice. It was perfect as always. They use fluorescent lighting, which I didn't mind. I backed my leftovers to go and ordered extra soup. I forgot to ask for sauce packets though. I had to make my own sauce at home but it wasn't the same. I love Boiling Point because I love soup. No need to go out of your way to try it if your don't like soup. read more

I came here on my birthday to claim my free hot pot and GOT IT! I came a little too late to take advantage of their free drink during lunch hours (ends at 3PM) but this is the best bday freebie out there! The wait at this location is pretty intense. We went on New Years Day and waited about 40 minutes. It's a pretty small venue so there were only so many seats already. I got the beef hot pot and really liked it. They give so much for each portion and it's packed with flavors and ingredients. This isn't the best hot pot I've had, especially in SGV, but it's still a solid spot and the birthday incentive in itself makes it all worth it. read more

We've been coming here every other week and somehow haven't written a review until now. So here it goes. First off, the food is always bussin--seriously, it's never missed. We always hit up Boiling Point during lunch hours (open-3pm) because free drinks (green tea or black tea) are the real MVP. We both get the beef pot (mild). One of us is a scallion rice fan (10/10) and the other is all about the vermicelli (10/10). The vermicelli starts out dry,but don't worry--it's like a fun little science experiment because you cook it yourself in the pot. It's like DIY dinner! We are not ashamed to say we ALWAYS ask for more soup. Like, who doesn't want more of that liquid gold? 4 stars only because sometimes you feel a bit rushed to finish your food. Parking kind of sucks but there's street parking and the parking lot is small. read more

Disappointing Service and Overpriced As a former waitress at BP, it's honestly disappointing to write this. I used to enjoy working here, but my recent visit as a customer left me really frustrated. When we arrived, the waitress just pointed at us and said "Four people?" while motioning to a table in the corner. There was no greeting or warm welcome. We sat down and waited more than ten minutes without anyone coming to take our order. I had to wave at the staff just to get noticed. I had to ask for water, and even walked up to the counter twice to ask for bowls. They told me the bowls were still being washed. That's not acceptable during service time. We tried multiple times to get the attention of staff, but were completely ignored. No one checked on our table. At one point, a waiter was standing right next to us after serving another table. I said "Excuse me" twice and got no response. Only after raising my voice the third time did he finally turn around. There was no teamwork among the staff. Everyone seemed unwilling to help or take initiative. It felt like no one wanted to do their job properly. Because of that, I didn't leave a tip, which is rare for me because I normally always tip for good service. The food quality control is still fine. It tastes the same as it always has, so no complaints there. But the prices have gone up a lot over time, and it just doesn't feel worth what you're paying anymore. read more

Boiling Point will forever be a favorite of mine. I was excited that they opened a location even closer to me than the original SG location. Unfortunately, this location is much smaller, so the wait time is even longer. On a Sunday at 2pm, we still had to wait over half an hour for a party of 4. There was always a constant crowd of people waiting for a table, so it stays busy. Luckily, we got seated before 3pm for the lunch price, which is cheaper and comes with a free tea. My go-to is usually the House Special or Beef Hot Pot ($16.23), but decided to get the Taiwanese Spicy ($20.81) this time since I was feeling extra hungry. This is one of their larger pots, which came with a lot of pork blood --my favorite! It only comes in the spiciest level too, but hits the perfect level when you add extra broth to it. Honestly, the best part about Boiling Point is their sauce. I'm obsessed with the spicy garlic bean paste, which is the best sauce to go with hot pot. I used to buy jars of these for home. Maybe since they are newly opened, service is kind of slow and lacking. But this is still one of my favorite spots, so I'll sure be back. read more

The food tastes decent. However, the service is very poor. The customer service skills set need lot of improvement.

KHIN, needs a raise or just make sure you guys keep her in mind. I work in customer service and I just want you guys to know that she is an amazing asset. I've always been coming to boiling point and while most are nice, you get to meet a genuine person once in a blue moon. She's not only that but she's very efficient. This location is close to my work so I'm very happy, their broth is always on point and delicious! Sometimes it can get pretty crowded but I come on weekdays around 2:00pm so it's not too bad. Theres a lot of boba places out there but wanted to note that boiling point has one of the BEST sweet chewy bobas out there. It's not their specialty but def worth trying. I sometimes come for just the drinks. Honey milk green tea with boba read more

Boiling point is always a solid choice...Just not this location. Been to this location twice and both experience were pretty disappointing.

This is the second time I have Boiling Point and let me say that the second time was definitely better than the first. My boyfriend and I decided to go on Friday for dinner. We joined the waitlist and to our surprise waited no more than 15 minutes. We were then seated and told to scan the QR code for the menu. They asked for drinks and we responded that water was fine. This time around I ordered the Korean base soup (mild. The thing I love about Boiling Point is that my food is hot the whole time. You can also request more broth. I don't know if the serving was bigger than usual but I did take longer than usual to finish my food. Not that it's a complain lol. I asked for rice as a side but was bummed that they were all out of their beef bowl. I do have to try that. If you're looking to a nice place to hang out and eat good food. Go to Boiling Point. The highlight is their sauces. I did a mixture of the chili and soy sauce. Totally a hit combination. read more

This is a solid hot pot place. Each person gets his/her own hot pot of their choosing. It might be a bit disappointing for those who expected a communal hot pot experience. The broth is good, and the portions are generous. You get a lot of meat and vegetables, along with your choice of noodles. I have a pretty good appetite, and I feel like the portion is just right. Not stuffed, but not not hungry either. The feel is of a fast casual dining place. The drinks are served in to-go cups. It's not fine dining, and that's OK. The wait staff is attentive. I've been here three times and never had a bad experience. I'm not sure why the ratings are so low. Maybe it used to be bad? read more

Food and service is good. But it is overpriced. About $20 per person for lunch. The parking lot is small and it's hard to find a parking spot. read more

Boiling point is my go to soup place and this place is close to family so we always eat out here! Prices have gone up since we first started coming but the portions are still worth the price ! The restaraunt is clean and there is a wait for large parties. Unfortunately they don't allow waitlisting online so come early if you have a large party. The service is alright they don't check in as often as I would like especially for water and napkins and the flame. Overall I love coming here and will be back! read more

My friend and I were supposed to meet at the previous location. Luckily, she was redirected for a staff to go to this location for dine-in. The place is alot smaller with roughly 10 tables. The service here is somewhat okay. It is harder to get service attention here because of the tall barrier. So, you gotta try a bit hard just to grab a staff attention. Food: it's a bit inconsistent. We both order beef wihh noodle and green tea. I got the mild while my friend got medium. Her pot appears to have less amount compared to mine. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday for dinner, waited around 15-20 minutes. Quality at this location has unfortunately decreased compared to other locations. I ordered #3, which came with a heaping amount of veggies and the broth was lacking flavors other than an overpowering amount of gochujang (?) Service was quick and attentive though. Not sure if I would come back, I don't think the food makes up for the price increase. read more

I don't understand the low ratings for this place. The soup options are solid, and the quality of the meat is relatively good for the price. The service is consistently great, even when it gets busy on the weekends. I also appreciate that they source their own tea for the drinks--highly recommend the green milk tea! read more

This new location has become my favorite of all the ones in the area. There is a private lot, albeit small, but I have yet to run into issues snagging a spot. The food is consistent with other locations so nothing new to add but what makes this place stand out is the service. It's being managed by younger staff and they have always been incredibly efficient, friendly (yes, I said it!), and patient. Regardless if there is no wait, please punch in your table request in their digital queue, it's right outside their doors. read more

Went today (a Friday) around 2PM. No wait. Ordered Milk Curry and Japanese Miso. Both were absolutely excellent. Amy made our experience wonderful. She is thoughtful, efficient and kind. We've been there a couple of times and Amy is always consistent in her good service. Parking is good. There is street parking and a lot. We drive by several Boiling Points to get to this San Gabriel location, and we will keep returning. read more

I love boiling point! This will be my #1 favorite hot pot place ever. I always come here during the lunch special because it's so worth it! But this is one of the smaller and newer locations so I feel like other Boiling Point locations taste better. Food/Drinks: I always go during their lunch special which is everyday from 11am - 3pm, even on weekends. You get a free black or green tea with your hot pot order and the price is really worth it. My go to order is the Beef Mild with rice. Now there's a new permanent deal where orders come with double meat portions and unlimited rice. A tip for the sauce is to do 3 or 4 scoops of the garlic bean paste and 2 scoops of the garlic soy sauce, it's perfect! I also really like their Honey Green Milk Tea boba, it's in par with the one at Sharetea for me. Ambiance: This location is pretty small compared to the other Boiling Point locations I've been to. Hot pot takes awhile to eat too so the wait can be up to an hour or so. I like to go right before the restaurant opens so I can be the first round of people to eat and don't wait too long. You can also go at the times between the lunch rush or dinner rush so its less crowded. Parking: Located in a little plaza. Gets crowded depending on the time that you go. read more

Disclaimer - I LOVE Boiling Point. I just don't love this one. I was very excited to hear about a new BP opening up in San Gabriel, and have actually dined at this location twice now. Unfortunately, both experiences did not live up to expectations. Service is not the best. For one, it's a little slow. It seems like they might be understaffed. I won't hold this against them since it's a new restaurant and I understand how challenging it can be to figure out internal operations. What I cannot turn a blind eye to is the lack of attention and forgetfulness of the staff. As for the food, I'm convinced that this location has opted for lower quality ingredients. The fish cakes were hard and flavorless. They were not golden yellow/orange fried fish cakes that you often get at other BP locations. The beef was soooooo chewy (and boiling it didn't make it any better). read more

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

Chill vibes. Best for party of 2-4. Limited parking space. Expect a 30min+ wait during peak hours. Despite the negative reviews, the staff (mainly the trainees) really stepped up tonight! Service was great. Atleast 1-2 staff is always making rounds filling water, soup, and taking request. Barely anyone had to flag the staff down aside from the bill. My go to is the "Beef" medium spicy and it was perfect. Great for first timers and a very safe pick. Free double meat offer and AYCE white rice! My favorite appetizer is the Holy Cow. It has beef shank, tendon, and tripe mixed in chili oil. Sauce variety is good but the container needs to be cleaned/wipe more throughly..My hands were sticky and covered in oil from just grabbing the sauce container. Drinks are worth trying if don't have another boba spot to visit after your meal. Green tea and black tea is good. Hokkaido Milk Tea is great too! Based on my experience tonight, a well deserved 5 Stars! It looks like they read the reviews and slowly improving as a team. I hope the amazing customer service continues. read more

My family always comes here for birthdays because they give you a free meal on your birthday if you show your ID. Their beef pot is great if you want something simple. There are sauces on the table for you to use. Their garlic bean paste sauce is the best. They give everyone at the table a jelly snack at the end. read more

Yikes 3 stars! To be fair, I'm giving 5 for the food, which is as good as any of their other locations, but 1 for the service! Though we were on the waiting list, it took us nearly 2 hours to be seated on a Sunday afternoon. This may be due to the incompetence of the staff, or maybe it's the growing pains of a new location. Their small parking lot is nothing to rave about either, but at least free street parking is mostly plentiful. When we first got on the list, we were told the wait was around 45 minutes. After waiting almost an hour, I went inside to check with staff to see if we were going to be seated soon. I was told we still had to wait. Another 30 to 40 minutes go by and I decided to check again, this time with a different worker. To my surprise, I was told we were supposed to be seated already. After some awkward scramble to get a table cleaned up, they finally sat us down. An apology would have been nice, but we never heard such words. Keep in mind, we were waiting right by the entrance during the entire wait, just to make sure we wouldn't miss being called. Tl;dr: good food, bad service, lackluster parking. read more
