    I was craving for Boiling Point hot pot on my birthday yesterday. Hubby and I went to the one in Walnut around 11:30 a.m. They offer a birthday promotion featuring a free small hot soup and a tea for dine-in on the actual day of your birthday in the States. We both ordered #10 Rose Milky Hot Soup. I ordered one without spicy, and hubby ordered one with a mild spicy level. I showed them my driver's license to confirm it was the actual day of my birthday. They said that I could get a free upgrade for my free drink, and I could choose whatever I wanted on the menu. I picked the pudding sweet milk with boba with 50% sweet. Hubby also got a complimentary iced green tea that came with the pot. The Rose Milky Hot Soup had a lot of ingredients inside, and it was in huge portions. It had cabbage, udon, sliced pork, fish fillet, corn, seafood mushroom, firm tofu, broccoli, Chinese string bean, tempura, imitation crab meat stick, shrimp, milk, and Dried Rose. However, I would rather choose Milk Cream Curry instead next time because the Rose Milky Hot Soup tasted bland. It also lacked soup inside the pot, so I asked our server to add hot soup for me. The sliced pork was very chewy this time. I still liked the fish fillet, seafood mushroom, and shrimp. Anyhow, the service was great, and we like Boiling Point. They were so generous to give this birthday promotion. I will try their Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup or Beef Hot Soup next time because I always order the Milk Cream Curry. =)

    Amazing service and food! This is probably one of our new favorite locations due to the friendly staff and tasty pots. The menu is consistent with their other locations and remains the same as it's always been. I highly recommend their Thai Tomato pot with vermicelli, and coming before 3pm because you get a complimentary tea: either green tea or wintermelon tea. * Thai Tomato: 10/10 - great flavor and has both meat and seafood * Beef: 9/10 - variety of veggies and beef * Green Tea: 10/10 - light and not too sweet * Wintermelon Tea - 8/10 - good but a bit too sweet for our liking The interior is very spacious, and they offer a decent amount of seating. Compared to other places, the lighting is also a lot brighter, and the workers are super sweet. It's located in the corner of the plaza with a decent-sized parking lot, but it can get crowded at peak times. Keep in mind that they're only taking cash at the moment! Their machines are down, but you can call beforehand and ask if they're taking cards yet. Can't wait to come back!

    Three of us came here at 8:20 PM as we were just finished from our shift and craving some good hotpot. This location doesn't disappoint. We ordered two beef hotpot one medium and mild, and you gotta upgrade your rice to the scallion gravy rice!! Definitely will enhances your overall experience at boiling point. Portion wise it's very abundant which making me bring some to go for my next meal. Huge thank you to Vivie for the great hospitality on this Boiling point Branch.

    Since the San gabriel location closed we tried this location . Modern interiors and friendly service. Seating is a bit limited so expect a wait. Good economical hot pot.

    Finally we get to eat at boiling point since it is no longer at grand opening, plus the parking and wait is reasonable. Boiling point is Taiwanese & Chinese fusion hot pot that has been around SoCal for many years. The decor is modern, clean, and simple. The restaurant is at corner of small plaza with fairly limited parking. Service is better than average. We order house #1 and seafood #2 with medium spiciness. # 1 is stinky tofu, but the smell is tone down and tofu is still sticky. It doesn't smell like one. It does. It's pretty salty and spicy. I still like it. #2 seafood is fish, with other ingredients you typically see in hot pot. Taste is good. Overall, they have app to order to go and you can probably get points. Also, they offer free hotpot and drink if it's your birthday on same day as your valid ID. One small complaint is that I feel the small table of two is so light and can be move too easily, kind of uneasy for me because I have to watch myself.

    I've probably been to the new location at least five times since they opened. It is a nice little spot that easy to get to with tons of parking. I have mixed feelings on this location compared to other locations, including the RH location that closed and was replaced with this one. 1) the kitchen is slow, not just a little slow, but very slow. In other locations, after ordering, soups are usually brought out within 10 minutes. Even when they are not very busy I seem to be waiting 20-30 minutes for our soups. 2) the servers are inattentive unless you flag them down. Out of the five visits, only my last visit had a server preemptively come by and offer to refill my soup, not just once but twice! Other times I have to stop one passing by as my food is about to burn from lack of liquids. 3) the servers are nice when you are able to get their attention Overall it is a decent spot and I will likely be back (as I do love my BP), but will have to be ready to wait for my food.

    New location since Rowland Heights store closed. Food prepared as pictured and came hot. Ordered classic beef pot. This visit made me like Boiling Point more. I normally don't care for it. The space is oddly shaded but it is clean and well maintained. The decor in the ceiling is cute. Fully staffed and team is very helpful and attentive for most part until the end when needing to close the check. Sad to see not great reviews here. I had a good experience so want to share and even out the rating! Would come back!

    9/20/25 Saturday Came in the afternoon around 1:30 PM and was able to get free sweetened green tea and melon tea. Somehow the boiling point in Alhambra drinks are a lot sweeter than this branch. We ordered the beef and the mutton. The mutton is a newer item and only offered in the large size. As usual, both dishes were generous in meat. I especially liked the mutton since I love herbal soups. The meat is chunky instead of thin sliced. Service was quick, but the server mixed up our spice selections and I got a spicy beef instead of no spice. Mild is pretty spicy. Also, they forgot to come back to us about a soup refill. Ambiance is modern and clean. Love the little robot server. We didn't get a chance to be served by it, but it was cool to see.

    Sometimes the rating on yelp can be wrong. Boiling point in Walnut is on par with some of the other locations I've been too. you really do get a lot of food for one pot, and the drinks are pretty good for a hot pot spot. The service is pretty quick and tentative! I just wished they opened a location with more tables lol. The design of the location is pretty nice with the neon sign on top. The parking can be a little tricky and tight.

    Updating my review. Came in to redeem my voucher for a free hot soup and a free drink before the end of this month. I hate writing bad reviews but this is my second time coming to this location and really noticed that the service is lacking and really needs improvement. When you walk in, you would be greeted by a series of monotone voices. Nothing energetic like the other boiling point locations. Staff also walks by and does not really check up on you. The staff here do not ask if you need help with anything. Is everything okay? And does not refill soup until you ask for it. A lot of the time you have to take the initiative and ask for something in order to receive service. There is not much initiation on their end to check up on the customers. Disappointing. This place is kinda out of my way anyways so won't be frequenting again. Will go to the other bp locations closer to home.

    Beef (Remade)
    Stephen K.

    Service was bare minimum. Food was terrible. Parking was difficult, but the interior was good. To give more insight, I got a mild beef and the soup lacked so much flavor. It essentially tasted like water mixed with light dashida. They relied heavily on their spicy oil for flavor which only masks the deficiency in the soup broth. Tofu and cabbage had zero flavor as well. Coming from the Rowland Heights location, I am so sad they closed and am upset at the lack of effort from this location. If you are familiar with Boiling Point, this location is NOT the same. (p.s. the picture depicts the attempt to remake the MILD beef, but where did the beef go? lol didnt even try it)

    I ordered the milk cream curry and the house special. The staff was helpful since it was my first time here and letting me know how it all worked. The milk cream curry had a great broth and was very flavorful. I arrived at the start of dinner and after it got busy towards the end of dinner the experience changed and the staff were very busy and it soured the experience.

    We were BP fans back in the early days - one of the OG customers back when they first open in Hacienda Heights 2004. At some point they changed their supplier and that's when we went there less and less. It's been years since we had them, but we gave it a try with their new opening in Walnut. We came right after a workout on a gloomy and chilly night - perfect weather for soupy comfort food. I ordered the House Special Hot Soup (招牌臭臭鍋). The quantity is definitely a plus - plenty of meat and veggies, generous portions overall. Unfortunately the tofu was a huge letdown. Its mushy bland texture really dragged this dish - tofu is an important component here. The broth was on the stronger, more flavorful side - could be a plus for some, but for me it felt a little overpowering. The main sauce (豆瓣醬) wasn't the best we tasted, but depends on your preference. One word of caution: the soup is heavy on MSG, so you might feel groggy or thirsty after. I definitely did. -1 star for bland mushy tofu lacking texture. -1 star for average sauce and strong MSG. There are definitely better hotpot options out there, but this is basically a "brand" and it's working out very well. I'd only come back if friends specifically want to.

There are many multitudes of hot pot places to choose from one of that place is Lao Ma Tou Hot Pot in Rowland Heights. Given that this is a hot pot location expect typical customers to be of Chinese origin. On occasion, you'll have other nationals visiting, but that's the beauty of Hotpot. You don't have to speak the language to know what is good and what isn't maybe pigs brain is a bit far-fetched but as you see in the pictures pics, brain is actually very good. It almost taste like butter in your mouth. So we went here with a friend of mine's who speaks the language very well, so she was able to order some exotic meat for us to try. I think the next time we'll go we'll probably do the same and maybe order some more vegetable. We didn't order that much vegetable this time. Now the hot pot itself is divided in the middle between a lighter broth and a deeper broth. The deeper broth is pretty much spicy and you can see a bunch of peppers and chilies at the bottom of it and it's pretty red. The lighter broth is light in general and it's clear it has all the fixings and ingredients for a healthy diet. The main entrance to the restaurant is shown at the very top and you'll see it. It says LAO MA TOU HOT POT written in English and Chinese. When we got there, we wanted to inside table and we were almost seated immediately when we got there sensitive was just the two of us. We sat at the table that had opposite chair from each other. It's a bench, comfortable bench and the hot pot table is in the middle. As you get to the main entrance, they are tables to your left and table to your right there. They're also tables outside as well. I've roughly counted about 10 tables at the moment you walk in and as you go past the sauce table on your left on the side wall you greeted with about another nine tables at the back rear end of the restaurant outside I counted roughly about 6 to 9 tables. I didn't get a good clear count. Parking is pretty much shared throughout this whole shopping center so you can park close or you could park pretty far and why it just depend on what time of day you came. We came on a Saturday in the afternoon so roughly lunchtime. It was a good amount of folks there already eating. So once inside you roughly is greeted by the servers who are wearing aprons you can also request to have aprons already as well. Before you start dining. They start bringing all the cups plates, water, and whatever whatever else utensil you might need for the hot pot the best part and experience I have to say is when they brought the broth a bowl it's in like a portion in shape material and it sits right nicely into the middle of the hot pot tray so it makes it very authentic looking and feels like you're actually in China not to say that I've been to China all the servers and waitress and waiter are all very conservative and always smiling. It was quite an experience. So once you start dining here, you can always order a lot or order a little we decided to try a bit of everything so our tap came to almost a little over $100 but it's all up to you. I'm highly recommending this hot pot place to everyone who wants to try something different or new. The best part is the orders is ordered through the QR code provided at each table. Very convenient.

When you walk in, it's super open and spacious, and honestly for an all-you-can-eat spot, the pricing is SO good. The best part? It's usually never packed and we never wait. Immediate seating + unlimited food? Say less. We came tonight to celebrate my dad's birthday and got seated right away. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Every five minutes (not exaggerating), the servers were checking in asking if we wanted to order more meat. I felt seen. I felt supported. I felt encouraged to eat more. And the best part? They refilled our tom yum & tomato soup, with the exact same soil base! Usually other hotpot spots would refill their normal bone broth, but they literally filled tom yum & tomato, which was amazing There are PLENTY of tables and so many protein options: Vegetarians? Covered -- all kinds of tofu. Seafood lovers? Shrimp, fish, mussels, clams. Meat lovers? You already know. Noodle section + veggie bar (which we bravely avoided to save room for meat). Unlimited rice. And the sauce station? Elite. Hubby and I are very saucy people, and the make-your-own sauce bar is dangerous in the best way. So many ingredients to mix and match -- it's basically a personality test in condiment form. As of February 2026 pricing: * $30.99 cash * $32.23 with card (3% surcharge) * Kids under 40 inches = FREE * 40-50 inches = about $13.99 And the cherry on top? Complimentary ice cream. With refills. Yes, REFILLS. Flavors included vanilla, strawberry, ube, cookies & cream, and rainbow sherbet. We absolutely went back for seconds because we have no self-control. This is definitely our go-to spot for all-you-can-eat hot pot. Great service, great pricing, tons of options, and free ice cream? We're loyal. Happy eats!!

Walked in at dinner time on a Sunday and there was not a single employee to be found. No greeter and the staff were in the back. When a waitress finally emerged they just told us to have a seat anywhere we like. No greeting or welcome (no big deal). Took a look at the menu and prices have increased. Children are charged by height and not age. Sesame balls and other pastries are no longer available at the sauce bar area. Veggies are moved to the side of the restaurant right outside the entrance way to the restroom (weird). Paid our bill and walked right past the cashier. Not a single acknowledgment or thank you. Not even a look. Anyways it's very unfortunate because we use to love coming here. I really hope they can figure things out. This place use to be packed at dinner time on a weekend, now it was nearly half empty. It took 15 minutes for our soup to be refilled after asking.
