    #4 Beef Hot Soup
    Sally N.

    My all time favorite!!! I always order Beef Mild and a garlic pork belly!! Is have eaten here for years and hand down my number one choice for cold weather!!! Love love

    #3 Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup
    Kirsten R.

    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.

    Beef bowl + Assam Milk Tea
    jessica l.

    I came for lunch on a Friday and was seated right away. Service was fast and the restaurant is clean. My go to is the beef bowl. I like the addition of the corn and the fish cakes. The assam milk tea was also good --it wasn't too watery or milky, I got less sweet and it was perfect.

    #4 Beef Hot Soup
    Sarah H.

    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. The hot pot was good, but I wish there was an option to make a dipping sauce and also customize a whole pot. The service was great, everyone was super attentive and kind.

    Taiwanese spicy
    Phuong D.

    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.

    #4 Beef Hot Soup
    Chenie X.

    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.

    #5 Lamb Hot Soup
    Kelly L.

    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.

    Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup & Beef Hot Soup
    Belldandy O.

    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.

    #3 Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup, Sweet Milk with pudding
    Tracy H.

    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.

    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!

    Sweet Milk with Boba
    Yin K.

    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!

    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!

    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!***

    Is it possible to eat here with a dairy allergy?

    Yes, just be sure to let them know your allergies! I believe the curry one has coconut milk (non-dairy) but not 100% sure. You should be okay with all of the dishes, if not all, most.

    Do they validate parking?

    Yes as long as you park in the Uwajimaya parking lot.

    Im allergic to certain spices. What spices are used in the mild Beef hot soup?

The menu looked pretty authentic, so I was excited to order and dig into the $6 Food Walk special. The restaurant makes ordering easy: there's a kiosk right in the front for takeout, or for eat-in, there's a QR code to place an online order at each table. It's a pretty casual place, with self service water and bussing after the meal. Braised Pork Over Rice ($6) - The menu shows a picture of minced pork rice (滷肉飯), but this is actually braised pork belly rice (焢肉飯). They include two small pieces of pork belly, fatty and flavorful, braised until tender. There's half a braised egg, cooked homestyle (e.g. until there's a green ring around the yolk), which is quite flavorful just by itself, being marinated and braised for hours. Some pickled veggies helps cut through some of the fat. The special part of this dish is of course the meat juices and braising liquid that soaks to the rice. It adds a bit of a sweet and soy element as well as fat to help make the rice even more tender, yet not mushy. (4/5) The food I ate tasted pretty good, and the menu is interesting enough to revisit. Seems like Gourmet Noodle Bowl is another win on the Food Walk front! Note: They also offered a Food Walk $6 "Shin Ramen Bowl" special that I didn't get. Based on the name, is it just instant ramen?

The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite.

I came in for lunch on a workday on my own, and was pleasantly surprised by how much seating there is in this location and how quickly I got seated (ie immediately). The place isn't dead by any means, but isn't overrun like a lot of places closer to the main SLU drag can get during the lunch rush. They have a focused food menu, with a handful of soupy options, a handful of saucy options, and some sides/starters. As I was trying to just get a quick lunch, I went for just a bowl of the spicy peanut noodles. Probably would have ordered more if I had time for a more leisurely lunch with company, but the bowl that I got was the perfect amount for one person. The combination of the creamy, savory peanut sauce coating the noodles, with the crunchy tangy smashed cucumbers, is lovely. I will say that the noodles are...not spicy. Service was very efficient, and I was actually in and out within a half hour (by my own choice, I did not feel rushed out at all). It is not a cheap lunch, as my total bill with tax and 20% tip came out to just under $25. But it is definitely nice if you want to treat yourself to a nice lunch in a peaceful spot.
