We waited about 20 minutes for a table. Once we placed our orders, the dishes came out quickly. Everyone in our party liked their hotpot's and the experience overall. The restaurant was able to accommodate our larger group of six relatively quickly as a walk in. Overall we were happy with this last minute choice. read more

We decided to have dinner here at Boiling Point since we were in the area. Parking was easy to find on a Thursday night. Upon entering, we were helped and seated right away! No waiting, which was very nice! The restaurant is pretty cute. I liked that they have large windows, high ceilings and the natural wood decor. Lastly, for the Large Miso soup that I shared with my mom. We ordered it flaming hot, which I thought it was going to be more spicy. Also, broth didn't have too much flavor. But a good thing that they had the bean paste and other condiments on the side. I would probably come back to Boiling Point. But not anytime soon. Maybe to try a different soup. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the absolute best and quickest hotpot, ever!!! Sooooo delicious and I read the reviews and almost didn't go. We were a party of three and loved it-- the food was great, the restaurant was clean, and the service top notch-- patiently explaining everything on the menu to us first timers. It's a must try and there are specials. We got there at 11 and were seated right away-- after about 20 min, the restaurant filled up completely!! Sooo many people each having their individual hotpots. This is our new favorite in Chinatown. It's so delicious and affordable and fast-- like fast food Chinese hotpot but delicious and tasty... it's a must try-- only thing is there are no variations on the items in each selection, but plenty of selections to choose from, and you can leave things out if you don't want them. There are also multi bowl discounts. Comes with free drink! read more

I ordered the milk cream curry and there was barely any cream in it when it arrived. I order this flavor every time I go to the Tukwila location and this one was not up to par. Did not taste like milk CREAM curry, just straight up curry. When I asked for more they said they will have to charge me. In addition, I left right after closing and got my parking ticket validated. They did not validate my ticket correctly so I tried to go back to get them to fix it (5 min time span). They refused to answer the door even though they saw me knocking. So much for customer service! read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We used to go here pretty regularly during the winter to warm up, but stopped for a few years. We recently went back, and quality has really dropped. * They don't ask for sugar level for bubble tea (I always get zero sugar), and the boba is hard (stale, definitely not fresh). They also made it in ten seconds, which tells me the milk tea is pre-made. * Service is hard to flag down, even when the restaurant doesn't have a lot of customers. * They never refill the broth, unlike other hotpot places. * Their vermicelli comes in a plastic bag, which is unnecessary and damaging to the environment. They also give you a low portion. * The broth is okay - it has flavor but not as amazing or spicy as before (I always get the Taiwanese spicy). The pig blood curd was also overcooked. * The sauce containers at the table are barely filled and are lacking the punch it used to have. All in all, pretty mediocre food for a place that used to be pretty decent. read more

This is a good hotpot option in Chinatown. They have a lot of choices on the menu and price point is good for the amount of food! I got the Taiwanese spicy and that came packed with meat, seafood and vegetables. Unlike most restaurants in Seattle, spicy actually mean spicy here and coupled with the constant boiling, your spice and heat tolerant may be tested. The hotpot was big enough that I was only bale to finish half and pack the rest to go for another meal. The variety of ingredients packed in each hotpot is enough to keep my interest and the broth is very flavorful and full of umami. Overall a very satisfying meal and especially good for a rainy winter night. P.S. If you need parking just park at uwajimaya and buy $20 groceries to get validated parking for free. read more

I came here on my birthday so I got a free bowl of hot pot and a drink! This is one of the coolest birthday specials I've heard of, all you need to do is show your ID on the day of your bday.

It's one of my favorite place to go in Chinatown when craving a hot and filling meal. It's located in the same complex as Uwajimaya with validated parking. There are different soup choices, I always end up going with beef hot soup since it's the perfect amount of spicy and umami flavor. You can choose to eat it with rice or vermicelli. I've also switched beef with lamb before. The place has comfortable seating. Service is okay. Sometime it takes a few tries to get the waiter/waitress attention, but overall still a good experience to eat here. read more

Boiling Point - #4 Beef Hot Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for a casual hotpot meal and ordered the lamb and beef options. Nice touch that they include beverages for free with the lunch set, but unfortunately the ingredients didn't feel very fresh (especially the meat). Flavors were okay overall, but not enough to make up for the quality. An okay spot if you're craving hotpot over all. read more

When in doubt, I will always choose to eat at Boiling Point if I can't decide where else to eat. However, this time around there have been a few new additions to their hot soup selection. Our group of four arrived a little after 3PM, which is the end of the lunch special and the start of dinner. There wasn't a waitlist of people this time around since it's an in between meal time, in my opinion. We were seated right away. It took a little longer than normal for a staff member to come by and take our order. A group that was seated after us ordered their food before us, which we thought was odd. I typically order the Beef Hot Soup, but decided to switch things up and order the Rose Milky Hot Soup. This includes cabbage, udon, sliced pork, fish fillet, corn, seafood mushroom, firm tofu, broccoli, Chinese string bean, tempura, imitation crab stick, shrimp, milk, and dried rose. The broth is AMAZING. Some of the inclusions aren't necessarily my go to choices like the broccoli and Chinese string bean, but I still happily ate everything. The Rose Milky Hot Soup is good, but I still prefer the Beef Hot Soup. read more

Came here for a free birthday meal + free drink, and everything tasted great! We shared the small Korean Bean Paste, with vermicelli and the Sweet Milk with pudding and boba. The portion was enough to fill us both up, and really hit the spot, The staff also were all sweet and very efficient, and they even gave us samples of this refreshing chia lemonade. Prices are a little steep (~$20+/pot), but I would definitely return again! The menu does have some nice deals for lunch, like a free drink with your meal. read more

Boiling Point - #3 Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup, Sweet Milk with pudding - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After trying hot pot together for the first time last month, my boyfriend was super excited to take me to this hot pot place he found online and I was really excited to go with him. When we got in, I loved the clean and open space. There was no place to sit and wait, and the waitlist was digital, but we didn't end up having to wait for more than five minutes. The menu was super confusing to me, I don't know if maybe I just don't go for hot pot enough so I wasn't familiar with it enough to knew what was going on, but it took me a while to figure out how to order, I wish our server had asked us if we needed help. My boyfriend ordered the beef hot pot while i got the seafood and tofu. Mine tasted pretty good, I got it at medium spice and it wasn't very spicy for my pallet, but I enjoyed all the different foods that came in my dish. My boyfriend ordered his hot pot at hot spice and he loved the flavour, it was pretty spicy for me, but I enjoyed stealing some of his broth for my food. We both ordered boba to go with our food and I loved my milk tea. I ordered mine without tapioca and should have ordered it with more syrup because it definitely didn't taste as sweet as I wanted. I thought the personal hot pot concept was cool, but what I love about hot pot is that it's a communal experience which makes it a fun date. It was also weird that no one ever returned to our table to check on us. Because it was our first time there, we had no idea we were supposed to go to the counter to pay and it was confusing to have to try to figure that out. read more

I love eating at Boiling Point! Boiling point is a great place when you just want something soupy and warm in your stomach. There's a variety of soups available and they pair great with boba tea right in the restaurant. The portions are enough to fill me up and take a bit of the soup left home. They offer condiments to make your own dipping sauce. They give you little lime jelly packets after your meal as a refresher. The staff here have always been very nice. The parking here is free. Always left here with great experience! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night just around 7pm, got seated pretty much immediately even though it's almost a full house. Ordered the Seafood & Tofu pot and the sweet milk with boba. I love the drink with the mix of pudding and boba, but wished i asked for light caramel because it is overly sweet than refreshing. But that's just my preference. The Seafood & Tofu soup was great. Love how they have the lettuce on top, soft boiled egg, and some other seafood etc. condiments on the table for you if you wish to customize it further. All in all, experience was better than the last time and service was prompt! read more

Boiling Point is a staple restaurant to go to if you're looking for hot soup to warm you up. This particular location can get crowded in the evenings/weekend, so the wait can be quite long, but you can park in the uwajimaya parking lot and get your parking validated! I like to get the Taiwanese Spicy which only comes in the large size and share it with a friend. I also like the Beef and Korean style, but Taiwanese Spicy is definitely the best flavor by far. If you come for lunch, you also get free tea! You don't go to boiling point expecting the service to be exceptional for sure, but the food always hits the spot. Make sure you get onto their rewards system because for every $100 you spend you get $10 off! Also, you can get a free pot for your birthday! read more

Got the Taiwanese spicy hot soup and a winter melon tea. Such a great combo. Pretty quick service and clean, spacious space. I'd come back

Somehow I have managed to not try Boiling Point in the many years they've been open in the ID, and now I wish I'd visited sooner! We came for dinner on a chilly night looking for some hot pot to warm us up. Really my only complaint about this place is that the service is a bit spotty. The restaurant was maybe 80% full, so it wasn't ridiculously busy, but it took a few minutes for someone to acknowledge and seat us. We then got no directions, eventually figured out that the menu was on a QR code, but no one came to take our order for a good long while, long enough that we had to flag someone down. There were employees milling around doing things but no one even looked our way enough for us to catch their attention for several minutes. Once we got our order in, though, service picked up. We got our fermented tofu started quickly. My house special hot pot came out a few minutes after that, although my dinner buddy's mushroom veggie hot pot came out another several minutes later. Then they lit the fuel under our pots and it was pretty quick to find someone to put out the fires later on in the meal. They were quick to clear finished plates and offer us water throughout. The hot pot itself was delicious! My medium spicy house special was frankly not spicy at all, but the broth was very flavorful and the contents were delicious, plentiful, and satisfying. I wish there was more pork intestine in there, as there were just a few thin slices, but there was plenty of sliced pork and blood tofu. The fermented tofu inside the hot pot is not that stinky, so if you want more of the funk you'd expect from stinky tofu, you should probably get the fermented tofu appetizer. Definitely get the vermicelli to cook in your broth near the end of the meal. While you may not end the meal as stuffed as you would at an AYCE place, I thought the portion was a perfect size and if you add the vermicelli, it's very filling. The sauces provided in the caddy on the table are not what I usually use for hot pot, but were still nice. Individual hot pot at Boiling Point is definitely a different type of hot pot experience from what you'd get at a typical hot pot place or an AYCE hot pot place, but I think it satisfies a particular type of craving. When you don't want to go to the effort of cooking all your hot pot items, and you don't want to share a pot or compromise on your order with anyone else, this is definitely the spot. read more

Boiling Point is a popular hot pot restaurant in Seattle, favored by regular hot pot fan. I love having my own hot pot filled to the brims, and you can easily substitute or add more options. There's a tablet inside for you to enter your name and number, and be prepared to wait, which can range from 5 to 40 minutes depending on how busy they are. The hot pot arrives quickly and is served piping hot. You can also ask the staff to turn off the heat once it reaches your preferred boiling point. I've tried nearly all the soup options, but my favorites are #4 beef and #6 milk cream curry. Don't sleep their milk tea- it's really good! I once ordered 4 to go so I could stash them in the fridge for later loll. Will continue to come back :) ***REMEMBER TO VALIDATE YOUR PARKING TICKET!*** read more

Parking: you can street parking or parking in uwajimaya parking lot 2hr free with $20 purchase, including eating at boiling point. Restroom: inside the restaurant, code needed. 2 stalls inside.

We were planning to get the stinky tofu with House combo, you can get the free to go sauce and free keychain, but they said they don't have the sauce. Okaaaaaay. read more

My wife is always craving hot pot. So, our favorite place to go is Boiling Point. During my recent lunch visit, I ordered the Beef and Curry hot pot, and both were delicious. Just an fyi if you're new to BP, an added bonus during lunch is the complimentary green or black tea. Just something else to note, while prices have increased, the portions have also gotten larger, ensuring you get great value for your money. Service can be a little spotty but they're usually pretty quick to get what you need. read more

I'm not a huge soup person; however with that being said, the Hot Pot at Boiling Point in Uwajimaya Villiage is pretty tasty. They serve them in these cute little individual hot pot bowls where you can turn the temperature up or down to your liking, which is pretty cool in my opinion. I've never had a dining experience like it. I ordered the "Hot Green Hot Soup" which was the special at the time. It came with sliced beef omasum tripe, beef aorta (heart), and duck foot sitting in a green-peppercorn-infused broth. Now I want to say I'm naturally that adventurous of a foodie to place that order, but tbh I just looked at the menu and ordered it because it looked pretty and had no idea what I was eating until I checked the menu after I left. With that being said my first time eating tripe and duck foot was pretty damn good. I also mixed in some spicy chili oil to give my soup an extra kick. All in all a good meal only enhanced by the passion fruit green tea I had on the side. All in all, Boiling Point was a cute little lunch spot in Seattle. I suggest going to explore the rest of Uwajimaya Village after eating. read more

Boiling Point - Korean bean paste pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been dying to try Boiling Point for ages now so during a trip to Seattle, I took advantage of its convenient location right next to the Japanese grocery store. It was honestly kind of a letdown though. My seafood hot pot was quite bland, and I had to add a lot of the condiments on the table to make it taste like anything. The beef inside of it seemed pretty poor quality and was difficult to separate (felt like it thrown in there as one frozen chunk). There wasn't much seafood in there for the price either. My husband's beef hot pot was better with a nice flavorful five spice broth and more tender beef. The hot pots stayed really hot the entire time we were eating. I thought I'd appreciate that but kept finding myself burning my mouth every time I tried to eat it. Overall, this was meal was pretty mid. I'd give it another chance but I don't think I'd come back in a hurry. read more

This was a fun and different way to enjoy hotpot. Service is super fast and tables were clean as well. If you come during lunch you get a free tea and side like rice or vermicelli. I ordered the beef hot soup in medium and it was great. It was filled to the brim with meat and had many toppings inside. It wasn't as spicy to me, so definitely opt for hot if you enjoy spice. The teas they gave to us were actually pretty good. They are sweetened so you might have to ask for unsweetened tea. It was a quick lunch despite it being flaming hot the entire time. The sauces they offer are also very good. It was fun to mix and match different flavors. read more

On a cold rainy day in Seattle, a steaming hot pot seemed like a great lunch option. Boiling Point seemed to be quite popular as there was a 30 minute wait for our table. After we were seated, I looked around for a menu, but wasn't sure where it was located until I finally found the qr code - hanging out of view under the edge of the table. It would be better if staff could point this out for customers instead of having them search for it. The hot soup comes out boiling on its own little pot and stand with some fuel underneath, steaming hot and filled with ingredients. I ordered the tofu and seafood, and it was great, filled with shrimp, clams, tofu, pork, mushrooms and veggies. There are different types of sauce at every table, and the lunch set also comes with tea and a choice of rice or vermicelli. Overall the food was good, and was a good choice for hot pot if you want a personal size preset hot pot. read more

Boiling Point - Seafood & Tofu (lunch) - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm pretty addicted to Boiling Point. You can say I'm addicted to hot pot in general but I think the other ones are yes better but too expensive. They recently started doing a deal where you get unlimited rice and double the meat per pot. I normally come for lunch by myself and it's convenient since the pots are meant to be individualized. During lunch it's cheaper and comes with a drink, and none of the food is reduced. My go-to is the Taiwanese Spicy which only comes in Flaming Hot. There can be a wait sometimes during prime lunch and dinner hours. They fortunately have an app where you can track how many people are on their waitlist if any. If there is a wait, I normally put my number down and go shopping at Uwajimaya or check out something in Chinatown. read more
