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

My family (two seniors, two adults, and one child with special needs) came to Boiling Point San Gabriel to celebrate my wife's birthday because we really love the soup here. We arrived around 1:00 PM, and there were empty tables available. We checked in using the tablet as instructed, and a staff member asked us to wait outside. After a while, a male employee called our name, but the available table only seated four people. We politely explained that we were happy to use an extra chair, but our request was denied, and we were told to continue waiting. While we waited, we saw many other customers come in and get seated quickly. Our son, who has special needs, became increasingly restless and upset after waiting for more than 30 minutes. We also noticed empty tables that remained unoccupied, yet no one called our name. After driving for over an hour specifically to celebrate my wife's birthday at this location, we were very disappointed and ultimately decided to leave and celebrate somewhere else. The entire family was looking forward to eating here, so this experience was especially upsetting. We truly enjoy the food and the flavor of the soup, which is why we chose this restaurant for such a special occasion. We sincerely hope management will improve the seating system and staff coordination so future customers receive fairer and more efficient service. Better organization would help maintain the high standard that customers expect from Boiling Point. 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

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

My mom and I are low‑key obsessed with this spot. We come specifically for their beef hot soup (#4) and that's pretty much our ritual now. Even in the middle of summer, we're just sitting there sweating over the pot and still refuse to stop because the flavor is insane -- deep, spicy, super comforting. Love adding the sauces into the broth and customizing it a bit, it just kicks everything up another level. Beef stays tender, broth never tastes watered down, and the whole thing feels like real homey cooking, not generic catering food. Staff is chill but efficient, they don't hover, just get you what you need and let you enjoy your meal. Simple, no drama, just really solid hot soup that we keep coming back for :) read more

Dropped by this spot in San Gabriel with a friend after hearing they do Individual Hot Pot / Personal Hot Pot style stuff, and it actually hits. Super casual vibe, but the food feels very Made-to-Order, not just sitting around. I got the Beef Hot Soup (they said it's one of their best-sellers) and yeah, that broth is legit. Deep, Rich Broth, a little spicy kick, and it just clings to the meat and veggies in the best way. Fresh Ingredients too - crunchy veggies, tender beef, nothing mushy or weird. Had it with a bowl of rice and it turned into that perfect cozy, comfort meal. Friend ordered another hot pot combo and we low-key shared everything haha. Also feels really Group-Friendly - easy to come with a few people, everyone can build their own thing and tweak spice level. Not fancy, but solid, satisfying, and worth coming back when I'm craving something warm and comforting :) read more

On a hot day, blasting the A/C and enjoying a personal hot pot. Great service! The staff checked on me several times to see if I wanted a soup refill. Overall, I'm happy with the experience. 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

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

Terrible service! We were waiting for someone to come and take our order! Waited 20 mins. The waiter look at me and walked away like I was not there. We have to asked for water asked for rice and noodles. Other customers just come in they get water got their orders. We had to asked for everything. What a bad service. 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

Rolled into this spot on San Gabriel with a friend after work, just wanted something cozy and filling, and this place came through hard. Big portions right off the bat, like they're actually trying to feed you, not play snack games. I got an Individual Hot Pot / Personal Hot Pot setup and the Rich Broth was the whole reason I'd come back--super layered, savory, warmed me up instantly. Loved having my own pot so I could just mess with my spice level and not argue over what to add in. Kelvin was the standout--best service, no joke. Chill attitude, quick on refills, checked in right when you're wondering about something, then lets you enjoy your food in peace. Simple idea, executed really well. Solid spot when you're craving hot soup and a proper, personal pot situation. read more

Went to this spot in San Gabriel with a friend after hearing they do solid Individual Hot Pot Personal Hot Pot, and yeah... worth it. Beef Hot Soup was the move: broth came out crazy flavorful, real bold spicy kick but not just heat for no reason, and it hit even better with a simple bowl of rice on the side. Beef stayed tender, no random chewy pieces, and the portion was legit for a personal pot. Staff Khin was straightforward, friendly, and fast, like they actually pay attention without hovering. Good place when you just want your own hot pot setup, no fuss, just good soup and you minding your business :) read more

Been to this location many times. Came tonight on a Saturday night and even though there was a crowd outside we got sat down pretty quickly. They did ask us to order outside which was a little unorthodox but we've been here plenty enough times to know exactly what and how to order. Everything came to our table without any mistakes. We ordered beef and milky curry hot pots and they were delicious. If you are not a fan of spice I highly recommend their no spice and mild option. I can tolerate spice pretty well but find their mild is perfect. Service is great here! Quick and attentive! We were helped by Kelvin, Jason, Robin, and a young lady unfortunately her name tag was not working and they all did an excellent job despite all the tables being full. I love coming here and will definitely be back. read more

Pulled up to this spot on S San Gabriel Blvd after a buddy kept hyping their catering, and yeah, they're legit. Tried the Beef Hot Soup: One of our best-selling hot soups, packed with bold spicy flavor and perfect with a bowl of rice. Broth comes out rich and spicy but still super comforting, and with plain rice on the side it's just one of those "keep scooping, don't talk to me" situations lol. Beef was tender all the way through, no weird chewy surprises, and the portion actually feels right for the price. Staff was low-key but on it, checked in, made sure we had what we needed, then let us chill and eat in peace. Not flashy, not trying too hard, just solid food that hits the spot when you want something bold and satisfying :) read more

Pulled up to this spot in San Gabriel after a coworker hyped up their catering, and yeah, they're legit. I came in with messy headcount numbers and a rough budget, and the staff handled it like pros--quick questions, clean suggestions, no pushy vibes, just very "we've got you" energy. We obviously had to get the Beef Hot Soup: One of our best-selling hot soups, packed with bold spicy flavor and perfect with a bowl of rice. That broth is no joke, spicy but not stupid spicy, super comforting, and everyone was basically guarding the pot so it wouldn't run out lol. Pickup for the event was on time, food packed in a way that actually makes sense, easy to set up. Crowd was happy, plates were wiped clean. Simple, efficient, tasty. 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

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

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

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

Good foods and good services, i love boiling point so much, don't remember how many times i have it

Oh my days. Just come here please. Lowest part was service, but that was also great. They will extinguish the flame to your request and tell you where the bathroom is. Exceptional food. Go for lunch, as they have free tea (which is also great.) also good ambiance and smelled like pure meat lol. すごい 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. It is literally just burnt and taste of ash. I do not know how this can even be served to customers. I saw another review down below with the exact same bowl thing. Disgusting. 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

Pulled up to this spot in San Gabriel for a weekday family dinner and it honestly hit way better than I thought. We ordered ahead for pickup, super simple, staff was sharp and on it, checked the order with us and didn't rush or push extra stuff, which I respect. The Beef Hot Soup: One of our best-selling hot soups, packed with bold spicy flavor and perfect with a bowl of rice, is the clear MVP - broth is deep and spicy without killing your mouth, beef is tender, and yeah, over rice it just becomes this cozy, addictive combo. Portions are generous but not sloppy, everything packed tight, still hot when we got home, no spills in the bag. Overall, very steady quality, warm service vibe, and just reliable, big‑flavor comfort food for sharing with the crew :) 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

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

Of the Boiling Point in the areas, this is probably my favorite. More spacious than Monterey Park and Arcadia, and seems more efficient. Parking is available in the lot as well as on the street. read more

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
