    #8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup
    Jacqueline N.

    The POS labeled 18% of $24 as $9.34 but in hindsight I don't think I should've tipped them that high because they gave my cousin with celiacs instant noodle in her hot pot when she specified she has a gluten allergy and requested to not include the instant noodle. I hope in the future management trains its employees to be conscientious about food allergies.

    #6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup

    Came here with a friend for dinner on a Tuesday evening for dinner. I put my name down on the waitlist and was seated within a few minutes. I asked for recommendations from the server. I ended up ordering the Thai hot pot and my friend ordered the curry milk. We both got mild spice- which was plenty for me! I also ordered the green tea with grapefruit and my friend got the wintergreen tea- we both asked for less ice and I got less sweetness. We enjoyed our food- it came out quickly once we ordered. The restaurant was bustling - but tables were turning over quickly. There was a busy hum. We enjoyed our food and the staff were busy, but kind and helpful

    First time at this location! I've only been to the locations in WA state. Didn't realize they give the large sized complimentary iced tea here! We get the small sizes in WA. I got the taiwanese spicy, and the portions were large! Surprisingly, it wasn't as spicy as I remembered. My fire took awhile to get going cause they left the door open. And then it died pretty quickly. I didn't mind that it went out fast, but i did have to wait for a quite a bit to get it to boil. BP never disappoints and the space at this location isn't large but they do have good amount of seats. We didn't have to wait to get seated either so that was nice!

    #8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup (the spicy paste is hidden under the protein)

    I usually go to Tasty Pot, but this time I wanted to try something new and decided on Boiling Point instead. The prices between the two are very similar, though Boiling Point runs just slightly higher. That said, the portion size at Boiling Point is noticeably larger, so you do get more for what you pay. I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup with the default spice level (Flaming). The broth was definitely spicy, but it had a lot more depth and flavor than I expected. It leaned a little on the sweeter side, which balanced the heat nicely. Compared to Tasty Pot, which I find to be spicier overall, Boiling Point's broth feels more layered and flavorful. Tasty Pot brings strong heat, but sometimes it's just spicy without as much complexity behind it. It's honestly hard to pick a clear winner purely from a flavor standpoint, but I do think I slightly prefer Boiling Point overall. As for the complimentary drinks, the green tea tasted a bit watered down, while the wintermelon tea was quite sweet. My hot pot was a generous portion that I ended up having it for both dinner and leftovers later. Overall, Boiling Point left a strong impression, and I'd definitely consider going back when I'm craving a hearty, flavorful spicy hot pot. Note: parking in this plaza is very crazy~

    Beef hot soup // Spicy Tangy Beef
    Lisa N.

    Been here twice and I have to say it's been consistent every time. The portion is great and speedy service. Totally worth it. I came during lunch time and got the hot pot with a free drink (choice of green tea or black tea). I think next time I'll try the black tea. Note that the teas are not sweeten. Although I would have liked it on the sweeter side. I ordered the spicy tangy beef appetizer and it was very well sauced and mixed. I got the beef hot pot with mild spice level & vermicelli noodles. Broth was great. Good amount of toppings. This definitely satisfied my cravings after a post-concert day. If you follow their IG, there are influencers promoting deals for if you complete a survey card after your meal & use a discount code, you will get an appetizer for FREE. Yesss love saving money any way I can! I will be back for sure! Yumm.

    Great rapid service, food was yummy, good beats but this place has to upgrade the restroom asap!!!! Bathroom was leaking so floor was very slippery garbage can was dirty and stained all around and there was no soap. It seems that's not their priority to maintain a bathroom but it speaks a lot about their establishment. I hope they can fix that soon so it can become a 5 star in my opinion.

    Let me start off by saying that the food was plentiful for the price and we went for my friend's birthday so it was worth it. The amount of food u get is definitely filling and when they let you pick hot. It is definitely spicy. The beef is my go to because the broth just warms me up and has the savoriness that i am looking for.

    My family and I went during a dinner rush and they had a tablet for waitlists and to check in. The wait wasn't too long and we were seated quickly. I have not been to a boiling point in probably 10 years and it has changed significantly to my knowledge. They've really improved the quality and taste of their soup. (I went to the Fremont one). It was so tasty and I just love their broth and all the additions you can get. As a soup lover, this place hits the spot.

    No wait for Monday dinner. Service was good and food came out quickly! Music was a little bit louder though but it's okay. Ingredients were fresh and soup was tasty. You get complimentary little cups of chia yuzu drink when you pay.

    Boiling Point, taste so fucking good, always look forward to enjoying it, had it yesterday but having it again today since it's th 15th for double membership points. Placed phone order and during pick up it was busy as usual, but straight to register for pick up. Miss "Phuong" rang me up and I asked to give her my phone number to take advance of double point and she's asks "why? What for?". I explained to add to my membership and she asked "do you already have an account or need a new one?". I said yes and she seemed annoyed. I paid and she says "next time tell me before hand". Okay miss Phuong, I know yall busy but what's with the attitude, woosah, don't be a b, and take a chill pill

    They offered a free meal on birthday. That's a great deal! If you go there lunch time, you got free drink. Quality is ok. Portion is big. I got Taiwanese spicy pot and it's spicy for me. The free watermelon juice is really good. Service is good.

    Came to visit this place on a cold night. The last few times I've been here, I really enjoyed it. Miso seafood (3/5): I liked the toppings in this pot, but a lot of the toppings were under cooked. The fish was actually full on raw when we received it.

    First time going to the NorCal location! After a long day, we were craving some soup and ended up driving to boiling point! We are incredibly grateful for the staff who were all working quickly and efficiently, especially since it was an hour before closing time and there were still a lot of people waiting for a table. The food was delicious, as expected! We also ordered a black tea. The sugar syrup were all on the bottom of the cup Overall, we appreciated the staff and the food was great!

Smooth texture, spicy with a hint of caramel (maybe even citrus), perhaps on the sweet side for some but I loved it, While you order from a QR code at the table, the service is still good and prompt.

I got a fried chicken plate with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. My husband got the mango habenero wings and fries. The kids shared brisket and mac and cheese.

The collard greens were flavorful and a hint of spice. We have little kids so we find ordering delivery easier but I noticed on their website they do Soul Sundays with live music from 1:30-3:30...and I really want to try to make that work one day. All in all very pleased with this lovely lunch we had for Father's Day!

You can order via the kiosk with your card or at the counter whichever you prefer. We all ordered individually from m the kiosk and had no issues. Since there were seven of us who ordered, some orders arrived later than others. I can understand this since they're alls full filling online and delivery orders. I ordered the Texas forever hotdog since I love bbq and made it a combo with regular fries and soda. They get bonus points for serving Coke products, especially Coke Zero. My friends ordered hot dogs , corn dogs and the truffle and bulgogi fries. The stand out hotdog for them was the truffle dog! I recommend their business!

The ribs were suuuuper juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm really picky about mac and cheese, but theirs was SO good -- creamy, flavorful, and with chunks of meat mixed in that made it even better.

I ordered one of their meal packages, plus some extras on the things we needed more of. the meal package was supposed to include 2 types of bbq sauce plus ranch for the wings. they didn't give us any of the bbq sauces or the ranch. considering they charge $5 each for sides of sauces, that's $15 they shorted me. so we had dry chicken wings with nothing to dip them in... which means nobody wanted to eat them. there's another $25 I was out. we ended up having to use the bottled sauces that I bought as a gift... another $20 gone. pulled pork was fine. the brisket was pretty tough. my dad usually loves leftovers and didn't want to keep any of it... so that said a lot about the meal all by itself. the positives (?): cornbread was pretty good. wolf turds were good (though crazy expensive for what they are - only 2 come in an order for over $10). mac and cheese was good, though it has far less meat than it used to. all in all, not a positive experience. seems like they've really gone downhill. if you order to go, check your order carefully before you leave. they had everything ready when I got there and had tied the bags shut (double knotted), so it would have been hard to get them open. do yourself a favor tho and take the time to open each bag. it sucks to get all the way home and find key items were left out.
