Boiling Point is a solid spot for Taiwanese-style individual hot pot. You pick your soup base, add proteins, veggies, noodles, and toppings, and it comes out bubbling at your table. The broths are flavorful, spicy options have a good kick without being overwhelming, and the milder ones are comforting. Portions are generous for the price, and the customizable setup makes it easy for groups with different spice preferences or dietary needs. Service is usually quick, and the casual atmosphere works well for a relaxed meal. It's especially nice on cooler days when you want something warm and filling. A few tips, the dining room can get busy on peak hours and weekends, and the spice levels are legit, so start milder if you're sensitive. We always return here after my daughter's long flights. read more

I know it depends on the people working that day and their mood but as someone that is visiting from Canada, I was actually quite disappointed with the customer service. I didn't see his name, but the Asian guys with a hat and a sleeve of tattoos was quite rude and dismissive. When we asked for our fires to be put out, he made a dissatisfied face. One fire end up not being out our properly so I asked him to do it again. He made eye contact and just looked away, and ignored me completely. Then, he went straight to helping other people. We thought he'd come back after helping that customer so we waited. He never came back. Thankfully one of the female waitresses there was attentive and nice when we asked! I understand that everyone has bad days and he may have just been tired, but it honestly wasn't that busy compared to some other times and they had a lot of staff working too. I think I was more taken aback that he made eye contact with me and just completely ignored me even though we were patient. The beef bowl.. there were some obvious switches with some ingredients. But I understand, everything is getting more expensive. Just thought I'd point it out for new customers. BP is my comfort place, so this experience was a little upsetting. I hope it'll be better the next time I go back! read more

Other than the seating being tight, this place has always been consistent in great quality hotpot. Service is good if you just know how to wave and connect eyes. I love their Taiwanese Hotpot. That's my go-to. Need a location in Tacoma area, please read more

Dinner in Tukwila, Washington... After finishing a few errands with my niece, we decided to follow the advice of the Post Office worker and dine at Boiling Point. (We don't have Boiling Point in Hawaii.) My niece knew that each customer gets their own Hot Pot that's filled with the broth of their choice. Customers also choose their own set of ingredients. I went with the House Special Soup and the Veggie Mushroom set. It was perfect because I watched my niece peel the shrimp of the Seafood set and thought that it was too much work... LOL! I just enjoyed my noodles (two kinds because the vermicelli replaced the rice), mushrooms, and veggies... and finished all of the yummy broth! Overall, it was a fun, tasty experience! We appreciated the free shared parking and convenient restroom! If you decide to visit this busy, modern location, remember to sign in and wait a bit for a table to open up! read more

I've been coming to Boiling Point since they first opened back almost 10 years ago and they've been consistently solid every time. People love to complain about the wait and say it's not worth it, but I honestly disagree. The food always delivers. My go-to soups are the Taiwanese Spicy, Beef Pot, and Milk Cream Curry each one is packed with flavor and hits every time. Fair warning: the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot is actually spicy. I love heat and still feel it, so be ready. Also, service can feel a bit hands-off, especially when it's busy you might need to flag someone down for water. But to me, that just shows how popular the place is. When it's that packed, you know they're doing something right. read more

First time at this Boiling Point location. I always like Seattle BPs compared to the Cali ones. This one might be an exception. This location is a lot more busy than others for whatever reason. So the wait can get long. Service was really slow and inattentive. I always get the curry fish ball. Food wise was ok. Seemed like portions were significantly smaller too. Parking here is a huge pain during peak hours. read more

This location is always clean, though can be busy at times even at around 1:30pm on a weekday. They have new flavors for their hotpot now but they are only for "large" pots. The servers are nice and quick. Everyone knows their responsibility like a well-oiled machine to serve the customers. read more

After trying many soup options here, I've settled for the milk cream curry and have never looked back. It's the best!

Be prepared to wait in line before the door opens or get yourself on that waiting list! It's worth it! read more

Boiling Point has always been a staple lunch/dinner spot for everyone around me, so I eat here once and a while. Honestly though it's not my top choice when eating out, but I came to this location yesterday since it was my birthday and they have a promotion where you can get a free meal. I usually get the beef option here, always a good choice. There's a lot you can eat from this bowl, although I never finish it mainly because there's a few items I'm not the most fond of. That's why I prefer malatang restaurants where you can pick out your ingredients. But the quality from Boiling Point is still pretty good for what you get I also got a free honey jasmine tea along with the soup, and that was super refreshing. Also when it comes to service and ambiance, it was super packed yesterday. We signed up for a 4person table, and had to wait 30 minutes. Never knew even a Tuesday could be this busy, maybe if they opened another location perhaps in Federal Way, it could alleviate some traffic? After waiting though, service to our table was relatively quick and not a whole lot of frills. I think I like the CID location better, but I'm in Southcenter a good amount of times that this location just becomes secondary. Would come back again if friends asked me to. read more

I could honestly eat here every week and never get tired of it. The beef hot pot is consistently top tier - the flavor is so rich and satisfying every single time. If you can make it for lunch, that's the move. It's a better deal with a lower price point and free tea, which is always a nice bonus. We also tried the spicy tangy beef on the side. It doesn't come out bubbling like the hot pot, but the flavor is still really good and worth ordering. For our mains, we both went with beef hot pots. They come loaded with a great variety of toppings and a generous portion of beef, so you definitely leave full. My favorite part is the sauce that they have right at the table. It is super easy to create a go-to sauce combo. One thing I really like is that everything is individual, which makes it perfect for groups since everyone can get exactly what they want. They also have a lot of different pot options to choose from. Wait times can vary depending on when you go, but it's always been worth it in my opinion. The staff are friendly, and they'll help turn off your burner when you're done. Always a solid go-to spot! read more

I love any hot pot and this is one of the chains that used to be popular especially when I visited them in LA area. I always tend to select the Taiwanese special as it has the beef, the clams, oyster mushrooms, tendon, cabbage, fishball, noodles and more. I didn't order it spicy since rim not a spicy gal. I enjoyed this and was super full. Service was quick. All the tables were full and wait time for us was about an hour if doing a walk in for dinner. Mmm I need a hot pot meal again! read more

Ate here with chookeiyan months ago and then again with Chookerica. Not that impressed? Dare I say...mid? They hyped it up to me hella and all I could think of was that I rather go to YGF Malatang next door. The staff is not at all vigilant or observant. You got to shout just to get their attention to stop the fire, refill on water, get the check, etc. I seriously had to do the Filipino "sssshhhh pssst" just for them to check up on us and address the table needs. Poor orientation on how restaurant worked, too, so those having Taiwanese hot pot for first time may be a bit lost. Did not even hype up the menu when asked for recommendations. So dead on social cues at this restaurant. Food was okay, but could not save this restaurant for me. At least it was hot food? lol idk...I fighting for my life to rate this higher and believe me...I really want to! Milk tea was not sweet and tasted the same across all flavors. When I first came here, there was such a long line, so after this visit, I still could not understand why that is so. I sowwy. I just am not fulfilled having left this restaurant & dropping money on a meal experience like that read more

Second time at this location and the experience was wayyyyy better! Food was great as expected, the service could use some more TLC but it was good.The bathroom was actually clean this time!

I haven't been to a Boiling Point since three or four years when I went to the located at the International District with my two sisters and boyfriend. However, I always see on social media of influencers sharing that you can get a free hotpot meal and drink on the day of your birthday with a valid ID. I went with my mom as I definitely cannot tackle a whole hotpot bowl as their portions here are huge. We arrived around 4pm-ish but it was pretty busy, we saw a sign to join their waitlist which said 45mins to an hour. We didn't mind waiting and signed up for then walked to a nearby Starbucks to have coffee and wait. However, once we got our order placed, I got a text message saying to check in with a hostess to get seated. When we arrived, a hostess walked up to us and asked for our names to see if we were the ones who were on the waitlist. Once that was confirmed, we were seated we weren't sure what to do as we didn't receive menus. But a male employee came by our table to ask if we were ready. I told him it was my birthday and I wanted to redeem my birthday meal and he told me that I could any hotpot and drink on there (the promotion on their social media says none of their special or limited time options though) . I went with the house special on medium spicy level and I got the lychee green tea with no ice. It didn't take too long for the drink to arrive and it was good but I could barely taste the lychee flavor. I was torn between that one or the passion fruit green tea but I'll use that one next time. After about ten or so minutes, we received our hot pot which was filled to the brim with various ingredients. It was delicious! I did also chose vermicelli noodles but it was such a small amount, I think getting rice would have been better. Additionally, I thought it would be like the ones you get at Vietnamese restaurants but they were glass noodles. The hot pot was hearty and satisfying though! My mom and I were very happy with our choice. The biggest downside is that you will never see your server again once they drop off your order, as we had to flag our waiter down to turn off the fire. The ambience here is definitely a modern, sleek look with the choice of colors, decor, and lighting. It's definitely great for date nights, casual gatherings, and any occasion. Once you're done, you go to the register to show your ID for your birthday and the cashier told me her birthday was on the 4th and said happy birthday to the both of us which I thought was sweet. The biggest downside is that you will never see your server again once they drop off your order, as we had to flag our waiter down to turn off the fire. I definitely want to visit again during lunch as I know they offer a free drink and dessert during that time too. read more

My experience with BP this time was much better! The service was much quicker and do take note I ate here with a friend during a weekday specifically Thursday around 1-2pm so maybe that's the key! The food was really great I got my usual of Milk Creme Curry with mild spice with a side of rice and then we had ordered an appetizer of the Garlic pork thing and that's always good. Our server was really quick to get our food so that was really nice, reminds me of their service when they first opened up! The ambiance is always the same but I do wish they just had a bigger location to maybe advocate for how much there's always a long line every other time I would want to eat here. read more

I wanted to try all the new offerings and found the first bite of the pork bowl amazing and just okay for the beef. The beef was almost like jerky and very sweet, it was a little off putting. However, the lu wei appetizer was incredible, the sauce was like the garlic based one on the tables and all the components worked. I dumped the sauce over the beef bowl and it was SOOO good, really improved it for me and made me realize it was superior to the pork because honestly, lots of places do lou rou fan and you can get better on the Eastside. read more

This is one of few constant places I go to for food... at least back then, and almost exclusively at the location in the CID - countless times even. My friends and I decided to come eat here on a Saturday night around 9pm, which if you know this place, that is a bad idea as it gets notoriously crowded, oddly more so than the CID location. If anything, there's a lack of Asian restaurants in the general vicinity of Southcenter as it gets late, but I'm still surprised I can almost never get a spot here without waiting an hour or so. For this visit, our wait time after putting our name on the waitlist was almost going into closing time, so we decided to split our group of 5 into two tables (one with 2 people and the other with 3), seated not too far from each other. You scan a QR code here to check the menu and let your server know what you want to get. Be prepared to speak up here since it's really loud inside. Also very well-lit and bright so it fits with all the activity going on both in the kitchen and outside. For this visit, I got my default of beef hot pot, with sides of quail eggs and fried tofu skin that I split with my group. This time I didn't get any spice with my hot pot, and also got a golden citrus green tea which didn't come out even after my friend and I got everything else and he got his green tea - and I had to ask for it again. As with most if not all of my visits to any Boiling Point, the beef hot pot is my all-time and only favorite pot because of all the meat without any toppings that I don't prefer (pork blood, stinky tofu, too much spice, etc.). Meat was easy to chew and everything was relatively fresh. Some of the sauces on the side could have been restocked, but I made do with a spicy sauce that I used on my meats. I won't really come back to this specific location if I want a personal hotpot because of the atrociously long wait times at nearly every moment I'm in the mood for something here. Food here still hits regardless, so just get here early and away from peak hours unlike me. read more

The hot pot was as good as it's always been. But the service definitely went downhill. Mind you, it wasn't always the best, but it was decent. But this time, we got service like the ones you get at a hole in the wall Asian restaurants if you know what I mean. Felt judged by some of the servers and it was probably the worst experience I've had at BP. Unfortunately. Food was good though, at least that was worth it. read more

Came here with friends for lunch on a Monday and it was super busy! We waited about 20 minutes before being sat. The inside of the restaurant is spacious with lots of tables, and very lively. Their menu offers a variety of different hot pots for you to enjoy. My friends and I ended up sharing a Taiwanese Spicy Soup and it was delicious. Definitely could feel the spicy, but the broth was also very flavorful. There were generous portions of meat and veggies. A great, comforting meal. read more

Boiling Point - Taiwanese Spicy Soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

I come to this location often, but I feel like it always changes in certain ways. I feel like the servers are always new faces when I come here, my friends get the mild soup yet sometimes it comes out very spicy, sometimes the food just tastes worser overall compared to other times, etc. etc. I usually don't care about service at all but at times things just pop out. This happened months ago but I thought at first that the person that took our order was the person who is supposed to serve us, but I learned after we were seated and the girl that took our order and gave us our food seemed to end her shift out of the blue (and we waited 20 minutes for a check) that if you call up any person working that they'll help you fine. Paying up front when we were done is easier than waiting anyways. Oh and I've seen a hair in my soup pretty recently actually, but never made a comment since I didn't even know what they would do as I was halfway through my food. One thing I do like is the ambiance, I feel like that never changes. It's always somewhat busy and there's always a wait. I love Boiling Point, hate it sometimes, but usually I like it. read more

I'm only giving two stars because the supervisor I spoke with was was kind and ultimately helped resolve the issue. Otherwise this review would be a lot more angry. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was uncomfortable. Jason asked me with suspicion if I remembered the name of who I spoked with, no I don't. Because they all have exotic names, but luckily for me, yours was easy to remember because it's the same as mine what a coincidence! During my previous visit, I found a hair in my food. When I came back for my replacement, I felt I was treated with suspicion rather than professionalism. Even after the supervisor said he'd replace. Some servers laughed and acted as if I was trying to get free food, even though I paid for everything I ordered, including an extra ramen. They forgot to bring me my extra ramen and egg, so I went back and asked for it. They thought I was asking for more free entrees? Started to look at me like this guys trying to get more free food when I ordered and paid for the additional ramen and egg. Hopefully they felt just as embarrassed as they made me feel when they saw that I ACTUALLY PAID FOR ADDITIONAL FOOD. Being laughed at and given strange looks after reporting a food issue was embarrassing and unnecessary. Customers should be taken seriously when they raise concerns, and complaints should be properly noted and passed to a supervisor instead of being dismissed. I appreciate the supervisor who stepped in and handled the situation respectfully--thank you for that. I hope management speaks with the staff involved about how customers are treated, especially regulars. It's not fair to invite someone back and replace an order while still making them feel uncomfortable. That said, I did see some friendly faces tonight, and the food itself was delicious. Thank you to those staff members who provided good service--I'd be happy to return because of you. Always a fun thing to flash my Louis Vuitton wallet when treated with disrespect! Hopefully that showed the disrespectful servers that I was actually right. And have money, but do your due diligence! read more

I came here in the evening for dinner. Things went south as soon as I walked in the door. there's no clear area to put your name down for a reservation. I had to wait for someone to come by. they told it would take 45 minutes and then walked away without taking my name or number. After spending another five minutes waiting for them to come back they finally took my number. I checked in at 30 minutes and they told me it was still one hour. in the end, it took over two hours before anyone reached out to me. I don't know why this location is so hectic and disorganized. The other locations are much better. I will avoid coming here in the future. read more

If you're in the Tukwila area and craving individual hot pot, Boiling Point across from Southcenter Mall (next to Target) is a good pick--but expect to wait! This location is always packed, especially compared to the Chinatown spot, so be ready for about an hour wait once you join the list. My tip: show up 15-20 minutes before they open on weekends, and you'll probably make it in for the first wave. Parking can be a bit tight, but you should still be able to find a spot. Once inside, service and food are pretty consistent. It's reliable--exactly what you expect each time. As for what to order, I'm a fan of the milk curry (creamy with fish balls), lamb (beware of pig's blood), or the house special (a safe bet). They've also stepped up their drink game, and I've tried a few from their top 10 list. During lunch hours, you get a free green tea or wintermelon tea; I'd go for the green tea if you want something less sugary. Overall, Boiling Point's a go-to if you're in the mood for some no-fuss, reliable hot pot--but plan ahead and be ready for a bit of a wait. read more

I stopped by Boiling Point during a short layover on my way back to Washington DC. With just a few hours to spare, I figured hot pot would hit the spot--and it did! There was a bit of a wait since it was the weekend around dinner time, but it wasn't too bad. The chilly weather made the warm, flavorful hot pot even more satisfying. I had the spicy Taiwanese beef hot pot and really enjoyed the depth of flavor and variety of ingredients. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion was just right for one person. Service was friendly, though things were understandably a bit hectic with the dinner rush. Still, they managed to keep things moving and made sure we were taken care of. Overall, a solid spot for solo hot pot or small group dining--especially on a cold day. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

When I am tired I like to eat @ Boiling Point. When the weather sucks I like to eat @ Boiling Point. This location is always busy. Parking lot is big and usually packed bc it's in a strip mall. If you go at lunch or dinner times there are usually wait sometime as long as an hour. I love getting Taiwanese spicy with beef. Portions are reasonable. Foods are good. Lunch before 3 either black or green tea is comped. I've had real quick service most of times and have had to waited for a bit. Overall it is a good meal here. The spicy food or none spicy items are all comforting. There are 3 different sauces on table to dip your food in. The reason with 4 stars is the price went up makes it a bit more pricy. This is simple food that will fill your belly and make you whole again. read more

I went to redeem the birthday promo which is a hotpot with a drink (have to be on the day of your birthday and show ID). Such a great deal honestly!! I got a beef bowl this time which hit the spot as usual. And for the drink, i got the honey milk tea. Honey taste is definitely prominent. read more

I went here yesterday with my 2 sisters. I have to say this place has gone down hill. What happened to having green tea or black tea as an option. Why is black tea an extra charge? Maybe you should put that in your menu to update customers. The beef soup was very bland to me and before it had a lot of good flavor and I had ordered a mild. The rice was so dry. My sister asked the young girl the server if she could the turn the heat down, she then proceeded to speak to her in a sarcastic tone and said "what you need to turn the heat off". It was more the tone that was off-putting. Then at checkout we couldn't understand the older lady when we gave her our credit cards to split the check she just walked off so rudely. Please teach your staff to be tentative to their customers and show some respect. read more

I had BP many years ago but in Lynnwood. I know Boiling Point has opened for quite some time in Tukwila, but I just had not had a chance to check it out. You apparently view the menu by scanning the QR code on the key chain hung in front of your table, by the way. You might want to wave in order to get the staff's attention for service. I mean.... The restaurant is busy even on a Sunday afternoon at 5 pm. People literally get in line just to eat here. It's a very popular Taiwanese hotpot restaurant. I ordered Lamb Hot Soup with rice. My friend ordered Korean Soup with rice. As brownie point, I also added Lemon Amber Oolong Tea because I wanted ice tea since it was so humid outside. I had to take left over to-go. My friend devoured her whole portion. Will I come back? 10/10. read more

We first arrived on Sunday at 11:35AM to check-in. The wait time was about 30 to 45 minutes, as per usual on the weekends at this time. We got the follow up text at 12:00PM and made our way back to the restaurant to check-in with the hostess. Shortly after we were seated once the table was set up for the two of us. I couldn't decide what to get, but I ended up getting the Beef Hot Soup at the mild spice level, which is my all-time favorite and my go-to choice majority of the time. Everything was good as usual, but I noticed that my beef was redder than normal. It wasn't cooking as quickly even as I pushed the meat down to the bottom of the broth in hopes it would cook it more. I wasn't too worried about it since it was beef, but I thought it was unusual since my pot was literally burning. It was much hotter in comparison to my sister because by the end I had no broth left, even though I didn't drink much of it. A lot of it evaporated. read more

Location is tricky because of how busy it gets, which results in long wait times. It's a good problem to have for the business, so I get it. Service was friendly, I ordered by scanning the QR code and food came out fast. It's Taiwanese hot pot, so don't expect intense flavors like Sichuan or chongqing style hot pot. It is still good in its own flavor and pretty healthy actually. I think you might get the best out of this place coming outside of peak lunch and dinner hours. read more

Today I went to boiling point for a delicious hot pot experience! It is always a solid choice to get a beef flavor soup which is savory and spicy. The spicy levels do vary quite a bit when I go to this location even though I always get a spicy hot level. This place is so busy that it can take quite awhile to get seated and sometimes I feel rushed by their service to finish up my meal. I think that their recent change to a larger portion + large drink is still a decent deal for the price. Overall a solid lunch option if you have the time to wait out the line! read more
