    Small store front and small parking lot. Highly recommend coming early in case there's a wait. Big fan of their beef or lamp combos. Portion sizes are always perfect and I always feel full after. Love that the servers will offer to add more broth into your pot or will turn off the fire for you. I like to turn my off halfway through to preserve the broth and because I don't like it too hot.

    boiling point is my fave restaurant of all timeeeeee. the soup just always hits and the garlic soy sauce and chili sauce are delicious. it's impossible to recreate or find this sauce anywhere else. the sauce is what makes this place 100/10. bp is just pure comfort food and i need it at least once a month.

    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.

    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.

    Im a little sad to see such changes to boiling point over the years. Its always been my go to spot but the menu changes, the sauce changes, its definitely not as great as before. I got the korean bean paste and its changed recipe pretty much entirely. The veggies, the seafood inside, the amount of everything is definitely different. I do think the flavor is still there, the meat is still great with the dipping sauces. Service is great and inside is always pretty clean.

    This has always been my favorite hot pot place. Came for lunch, even with the heat. This place always hits the spot. The service was really good. I always get the beef and it never disappoints. Plus you get free green tea for lunch. If you don't have this place in your hot pot rotation, then you are missing out.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    Walked into this catering spot in San Gabriel with a couple friends after hearing they do solid Asian flavors, and honestly, I was impressed. We ordered a mixed spread and the Thai flavor is good -- like, actually layered, not just sweet chili dumped on everything. Sauces were punchy but balanced, nice little heat, and the herbs were super fresh so it didn't taste lazy at all. Portions felt fair, nothing stingy, and everything came out fast without that chaotic "where's my food" moment. Staff had chill, get-it-done energy, answered questions, didn't rush us, which I really appreciate when we're low‑key planning the next hangout while eating. Overall, feels like a reliable spot when you want catering that actually has flavor and isn't just bland party food :)

    #4 Beef Hot Soup

    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.

Luyixian is a gem located in the ABC plaza near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. Luyixian serves a variety of soy-based dishes, regional Chinese comfort cuisine, and Zhejiang specialties. Luyixian is mostly known for their braised pork rice and beef noodle soup. The atmosphere there was nice and the staff there were very friendly. Parking can be found either inside the plaza building or underground. I ordered the braised beef rice. The braised beef rice was mouthwatering! It is like a home cooked meal. The braised beef was very tender and juicy. The beef is served with sauteed cabbage, pickled vegetables, hard-boiled egg, and a scoop of rice. The braised beef rice will taste even better when everything on the plate is mixed together. My dish took about 10 minutes to be served, which is quite quick. So far, my first time dining at Luyixian was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this gem to anyone who loves braised pork rice or other Chinese dishes!

Depending on how busy the area is, you may need to look around for a spot. Ambiance: 4/5 Casual and no-frills, making it a good place for a quick meal rather than a long dining experience. Overall: 4/5 Worth visiting at least once for the impressive Green Onion Sesame Pie. It wasn't flavorful enough to bring me back specifically for that dish, but I'd return if I'm nearby to explore more of their menu.

    *** Credit cards accepted over $30 ***…read more Sinbala is one of the most iconic and long-established Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles and the flagship restaurant has been around for 20+ years. This is my go-to place if I ever crave actual authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Although the restaurant closed its secondary location in Rowland Heights and had a rumored change of ownership right before COVID, this flagship location is still here to stay. The original founder Linda used to work at Wan Chun Taiwanese Food before opening Sinbala. [Parking]: The parking lot can be packed during busy hours, but I had no issue finding an available spot on Sunday at 5:30 PM. [Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in setup and you are not exactly coming here to vibe but rather to enjoy good Taiwanese comfort food. [Menu]: The signature dish to order here for 1st timer is definition #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim to fame item. While Yelp's top highlighted items include #36 Popcorn Chicken and #2 Fried Pork Chop (all solid picks), I am a sucker on their noodle bowls such as #24 Beef Noodle Soup and #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup. As a general rule of thumb, The general rule of thumb is their menu has picture of featured items and those are the one to get.

The flavor profile really hit the spot and reminded me of the same stew noodle soup I had from Taiwan street vendors. *** This still remains one of my top Taiwanese restaurants in Southern California as there are fewer and fewer legit Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County now.

    SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.
