I've been coming here for years, I adore the ambiance here I love how the buffet is set up and so easy to follow to get all your items, the pho broth is my go to usually I have no issues with servers but I don't know if it was because there was a rush, or how my boyfriend and I came in sweats because we came to eat or what but the server took a group of three who came after my boyfriend and I. Then the man who did set us down made us feel stupid by overly explaining even though we already said we had been here before, he proceeded to come back assuming my boyfriend had messed with the heat buttons which he did not it was already in the clear and not on a button he explained to not touch it only the servers. He really didn't give my boyfriend a chance to speak just speaking over him which was frustrating when we tried to tell him we didn't touch it. We enjoyed our food but I think we will take a brake from this place for a bit. read more

AYCE shabu place in Ontario! This place has a huge space and the ambiance is pretty nice and clean for a AYCE shabu restaurant. There are so many options of side dishes to choose from and different meat choices. Since it is AYCE, they have a buffet style area where you can grab your veggies, meatballs, fish balls, dessert, etc so you don't really need your server unless you want to order meat. The quality of all the food was pretty good and appreciate how they maintain the buffet area to be clean. read more

Boiling World - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

I have been here three times and have enjoyed it every-time. They have a huge selection of vegetables, meats, and seafood. I do wish that they would add slightly more vegetables to their selections (potato, carrots, onion...). I have been to restaurants where the broth was also a lot better than what they serve here. I hope that they can improve on their broth. However their appetizers here are to die for. Definitely the best japchae and gyozas I have had from a restaurant. They also have amazing fruit believe it or not. They have really great pineapple and the service is good. Although I don't believe this is the best hotpot I've had their variety is what wins it over for me. I hope they can keep on improving. read more

Great place for some hot pot in Ontario and of the highest hot pot places I've been to in awhile! LOCATION - near Ontario Mills right off the 10 highway plenty of space for parking, great busy location to do other things right after SERVICE - service was great and as expected, multiple times coming to check on us for water, new orders, or anything we needed. They were friendly and got things for us right away, no push back. FOOD - the meats were not impressive and come in really small trays with not a lot of meat. The Buffet bar had a lot of options for sauce, vegetables, seafood, rice, noodles, fruits, and cakes. Wide selection of many things apart from the meats, which I thought was the best part. 38$ per person and with tip and taxes you'll be looking around 90-100 for two people. I really great experience, love how big the place was and great variety of options to choose from read more

I guess hot pot just ain't my thing. It was ok but I would rather just find a good Raman spot and be done with it. Tried a couple different broths and many meat veggie combos since it is all you can eat. Service was slow at times and that didn't help my experience. Overall one and done for me read more

The one thing about traveling around for work is always finding something to eat. And unfortunately, Ontario Ca, is definitely not known as one of those culinary driven cities. After spending 45 minutes, yes 45 minutes, trying to find a place for dinner, Boiling World popped up. Looked decent, and within walking distance from the hotel. When I got here, place was relatively empty. Got sat, and a male asked me for my drink order. Ordered a beer. Not a pitcher. And a club soda. And as slow as it was, it took forever for the beer to come. And it was a pitcher. If I was at a bar, I would've ordered a pitcher.but I'm having dinner. A solo diner! Didn't want to send it back, so I dealt with it. The lamb and pork were good quality. Some of the beef options were fair, not great. So ate mostly lamb. Kombu broth was good. Flavorful. And simple. Perfect. Their chili paste was good. Not spicy, but flavorful. Their "sesame sauce" was runny, no flavor and no texture. Having eggs on the buffet line was a plus since the price has skyrocketed. Overall experience was fair. The pitcher of beer was annoying. There was one male and one female server that were very attentive, the others not really. read more

Boiling World - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

It's ok. I wasn't really impressed with the meats (you can order meats 3x only) or the other food selections. I recently found Pichaiyuan hot pot in Rowland Heights for $19.99 and our family really likes that place. Unlimited amount of meat there. Service is good they did check on us a couple of times. It's big and clean. Ice cream is yum. But I don't think I would go back. read more

Great ambiance. Lots of space. Quality meats, veggies, and noodles. Sauces are plentiful. You won't regret trying this establishment.

Servers were attentive. Choice of broth. Lots of veggies and sauces to choose from. Place is clean. Owner (or the person I. Charge) is nice and helps around (fills water and sweeps)... We had a party of 8. So there was an automatic 18% service charge. Will come again. We came hungry and left full. We were not rushed as it was half full on a Wednesday night at 6pm. read more

I absolutely loved this spot. Was introduced by my bosses and have now been taking everyone I know.

Boiling World has won themselves a new customers, they have several broths to choose from and will let you try a few to se how you like them before making a selection. They also have several cuts of Protein out favorite was the Bulgogi, the vegetable selection was fresh they also had fish and shrimp at the self serve bar. When we asked our server to change our pot because we accidentally burned our noodles and they did it without a problem when we asked for more broth the actually gave us broth and not water to dilute the broth we had already like at another place. At the end they give you a little scoop of ice cream to end it all. read more

Yesterday, while shopping at the mall with a friend, we saw an advertisement for a hot pot restaurant. We decided to try it. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was very spacious. The restrooms were also very clean. The menu was extensive; we chose bone broth, and all kinds of meat were unlimited. We had a very enjoyable meal. If you're shopping at an Ontario mall and don't know what to eat, you might want to consider this place. read more

Boiling World added two new broth to their menu . Chinese herbs & kimchi broth flavor. Chinese herbs is not for the weak, the broth has a note of a slight bitter after taste and medicinal aromatic flavor. I like it, so used to this type of medicinal scent growing up and I am certain our elder grandparents and parents will find Chinese herb broth to their liking . As usual we were greeted warmly by all the staff we encountered, staff were attentive and friendly. Food station fully stocked with fresh seasonal vegetables and assorted meat/ seafoods. See you again for our next hot pot craving read more

This place has really good shabu! I regret not eating that much but I love that they offer eggs when a lot of places don't even do eggs anymore. And they have a variety of broths so there's always something for your tastebuds. The kombu was light and still flavorful. My boyfriend's tonkatsu was really rich and had a hint of umami. Their seafood selections were quite good as well--scallops, mussels, clams, crawfish, shrimp. I enjoy their sides like fish tofu, napa, cucumber salad, and ginger! As for the meats, they were pretty good. But we did not like the NY steak..it was tough and too lean. Overall we really enjoy this place and would def stop by again whenever we're down here read more

Eehh, went a few time, and different days but honestly is not for me. Lunch isn't much expensively, but their service is very slow. Dinner definitely never again, is a wast of money. For an buffet style and price, is hard get your money worth because you depend on servers for meat and broth refil, so it's kind of a bump. Their broths are good though read more

Surprised.... Yes buffet. Food was good. Drinks good. Great atmosphere. And yes hot pot yummy. .

Good food not crowded perfect for family get together service is good and very clean area

It very good place to eat, but a bit on the PRICEY side....if new to the area google reviews and check menu too.

I usually come here for lunch. They open at noon and there's usually a wait already before they open. You choose your sauces, vegetables, various fish balls, quail eggs, hot dogs, spam, imitation crab leg, shrimp, calamari, and various types of noodles. They have a sauce bar of chopped onions, cilantro, ginger, sesame paste, grated radish, chopped garlic, chopped chili, and bean paste sauce. For noodles, they have udon, spinach noodles, ramen, and glass noodles. For meats, they have small hot dogs, tofu, quail eggs, imitation crab legs, sliced fish, shrimp, mussels, scallops, crayfish, and various fish balls. They have pickled cucumbers, kimchi, seaweed, various bok choy, cabbage, baby corn, spinach, sliced squash, bean sprouts, various mushrooms, tomatoes, and baby corn. I did get full from the quail eggs, bok choy, baby carrots, mushrooms, and the thinly sliced beef. You get your own bowl of rice near the fresh vegetables. You choose 3 types of meat for each round, the meat is sliced thinly so they cook quickly. They do give a lot of tripe. I usually get their Sichuan broth but the other broths are good too. They also give small ice cream and appetizer with your meal. A large amount of seating and the staff is nice. Restroom is clean. read more

Service was just barely ok. My waiter came by often enough but was walking away if you needed anything. He'd be walking and if you say, needed more meat you have to say it fast or loud because he didn't stop, he would just keep walking. The waitress that got our drinks and appetizers was really sweet and nice though. Ambiance was really nice. It could be intimate or it can feel private. I feel it could fit into anyone's need for any celebration or dates. My only wish would be, more options for non hot pot guest. Just in case you had someone in your party that isn't into hotpot. Like sushi places have non fish items. The price point, I feel is spot on. You can make it worth it or not depending on how you strategize. My 4 stars was due mostly to my server, and my one daughter not into hotpot but was willing to compromise and not having much of a choice of for options that weren't hotpot besides appetizers. read more

What can I say! Buffet style for all of your vegetables and seafood/ add one was great! Lots of variety to choose from. The meat slices you order and were very thin, but all you can eat so you can actually eat a great variety of meat. Bathrooms were very clean. Service was great and quick! The servers were very attentive. Would definitely come back. Price is a little expensive but would definitely go for a date night read more

We went for a birthday celebration for a large party (20). Was not able to secure the private dining room but we were given two adjacent tables. I find the pricing to be expensive for what you get. Rice is extra. The meat is limited (not all you can eat) but you do get a wide selection of veggies, sauces, seafood. The appetizers were mediocre. You do get full pretty quickly because soup takes a lot of space in your stomach and so you won't feel like you got your money's worth. I didn't like that after I paid for the whole party, the manager came and charged the second table separately. After clarifying with him that everything is paid for, he still wasn't convinced and was about to swipe my family's credit card. His servers were trying to tell him as well. He should stick to supervising and not micromanaging servers or overstepping the servers job. The whole confusion about the bill left a bad taste and I most likely wouldn't be back. read more

Was craving some hot pot, and found this place round the Ontario Mills. Coming in for lunch on a weekday, so looks like there's no wait time. Got seated super quick. Pretty spacious restaurant, they have booths and regular tables too. Each person gets their own singular pot, it's not a big pot or those pots that let you have two separate soups. So you don't have to fight anyone for whatever ingredients you're cooking. Great assortment at the food bar. There are some items that are dinner only, but hey, AYCE. I always get fish cake, kabocha, corn and broccoli. I think there were 6-7 choices for meats during lunch. You get two hours to dine, I only gave myself an hour since I had to go back to work after, definitely would want to take my time next time I visit. read more

Hot pot heaven! Everything you want under one roof and it's all you can eat! Came for lunch to take advantage of the small discount. My toddlers were free. Wait times vary but it's definitely always busy! I love the buffet style with lots of tongs and gloves. I couldn't try them all as I got too full too fast because they have so many options. From meats to seafood and veggies, the combos are endless. I especially enjoyed the different cuts of meats and noodles while my kids loved the quail eggs, spam, hotdogs, and fish balls. We also loved the sauce bar. At the end we all enjoyed our own mini ice creams. What a great way to end a fulfilling hot pot lunch! We will definitely be back! read more

Boiling World - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

My friends and I decided to eat lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. We were a party of 3 and got seated immediately. The place is pretty spacious and we got a table that could fit 8. The waitress explained everything since it was our first time and gave some recommendations. We ordered our rounds of meat and then got the unlimited food on the side. I was excited to eat the seafood but was disappointed at how soggy and lifeless they were. I like my seafood more fresh and I love it when you bend the joints of a crab and you hear the snap. There was no snap. It was just sad and soggy. The best thing was probably the Chinese donuts, or you tiao. They came out hot and fresh and went well with what ever broth you had. The ice cream towards the end was also pretty good. I like that they had black sesame, that tends to be one of my favorite flavors and not a lot of places have it. It also did not disappoint and went well with the Chinese donuts. The meats that came out were ok. It's nice that they give you three rounds of meats. My friends and I ate until we were full. Unfortunately, one of my friends suddenly didn't feel well towards the end of the meal. He said it could have been the pineapple or maybe the way he mixed his sauces? He's not sure what made him throw up. We were there for about 3 hours, slowly chipping away at food so we were all pretty sure it had to be something he ate while he was there. Overall my thoughts of this place were that it was ok, can't say that for my friend though. read more

Our friends have been telling us to make the drive from OC since they had just bought a house nearby. We kept hearing good things about Boiling World so we met them up for a late lunch on a weekend. There was about a 10 minute wait until they called our party of 4. Boiling World is about $40pp for the weekend and for dinner. It is AYCE with ordered meats and a serve service salad bar. The self service bar is one of the largest for an AYCE shabu place I have been to. It includes all sorts of appetizers, dipping sauces, veggies, mushrooms, seafood, and even desserts. They have more options than other shabu places I have been to. I also appreciate the cleanliness of the place. I like that it was individual pots. I originally got tonkotsu. I found it to be a little bland for my liking so I asked them to pour in some shichuan broth and it was perfect. The meats were all good. I like that they came stacked so it didn't take up too much room at our table. All the salad stuff was nice. I liked the large variety and freshness. They even had different types of noodles and even things like kelp. Oh and they had a limit of one hot appetizer. The japchae was surprisingly impressive and the curry fries were also good. And at the end they had some sweet ass watermelon and pineapple. There was also cake. Oh and you get one complementary ice cream cup of a flavor you choose. I got black sesame which I was very happy with. Service was good. We never really had to wait to order our meats. They came and made sure to check on us. The inside of this place is casual and super big. Its definitely good for even large parties. We all cannot wait to come back. read more

ABSOLUTE BEST! THEY SERVE YOU THE WORLD; YOU BOIL IT. Looking for a shabu-shabu or a hot-pot fix? Look no further and try this place out! Don't let the over simplified name of the restaurant stop you from experiencing a world of goodness that will have you coming back for more! I've been here plenty of times and should have wrote this review already; therefore, this restaurant deserves a 5 star. I've frequented many places like Boiling Point, the Happy Lamb, and other similar places; yet, Boiling World has always gave an amazing dining experience. I come here about once a month and have not been disappointed once - so I'm definitely a loyal customer. Here you can get creative with the wife variety of veggies, meats, and other fixings offered. Their dining experience, unlike the majority of other places, will be an All You Can Eat experience with your choice of broth and meets. Because there is so much to this restaurant, I can only cover the highlights that have made the biggest difference. Pros: 1) The dining experience is ALL YOU CAN EAT! Not many Shabu or Hot Pot restaurants can brag about this. Therefore, there are NO confusing menu sets to choose. NO pre-set meal pricing to worry about. NO limitations! One price gets you everything edible in the restaurant! 2) You can try multiple broths. From Tonkatsu, Miso, Spicy Miso, Szechuan, Tom-Yum, Pho, and a Vegetarian option broth. You try one, or you can try them all! You can even go half-half. My favorite, for example, is the half Szechuan and half Tonkatsu. Want to make things spicy to your liking? Ask for a side of Szechuan base to add to that Tom-Yum or Pho. 3) The meat menu is well rounded. There are plenty of options. They got all the basics covered. I usually stick to all the beef options (about 6 different cuts to choose from). 4) The experience comes with a buffet style bar with all the veggies, noodles, seafood, and toppings to eat to your heart and stomach's delight. An amazing variety! Even just for the noodles, there are at lest 5 noodles to choose from! As for veggies such as mushrooms... they have like 5 available! Shiitake, Enoki, Rat Ear Mushrooms, Portabello, and your standard white/brown mushroom. Moreover, there are cut fruit, and sweets available. Lastly, there are dips and toppings available and enough to get creative with! 5) Their drinks are BOMB!! They have a bar with many choices! I honestly would just come here for a drink because their drinks are just that great! Plus, their prices on the drinks lean to the more reasonable side when it comes to pricing. The loaded lime margarita is epic, and the lemon drop martini is intoxicating! 6) You get ice cream at the end of your experience! You get at least 7-8 flavors to choose from! SIMPLY AMAZING! Cons: 1) The drive to such an awesome restaurant could be much shorter. 2) You may just have to bring your own bib and handkerchief, because... YES, it can get messy. It is soup after all. 3) You'll be so excited to dine, the wait for your broth to reach the table will feel like an eternity although it can take about 10 mins. But the wait is worth it! Last but not least! All the workers/servers and hosts here are so diligent, courteous, careful and friendly! Miguel is awesome if you happen to dine in when he is there! The owner/manager is really cool and friendly too! He was spotted helping customers here and there during my last visit. That was really cool to see. I hope this place stays in business for a very long time and remain in the Inland Empire. Thank you for existing, Boiling World. read more

*note that a meal for two here cost $89 for the experience that we had* I've been coming to boiling world for quite a few times, and in the beginning they started off strong. Great food quality, clean restaurant and great staff. Unfortunately, the biggest thing that has taken a nose dive is the service. The last few visits weren't perfect by any means, but they were nothing compared to the service that was just experience by my girlfriend and myself. We had been sat around 4:52 and our drink, broth and first meat order had been placed. When they brought our drink order out, they forgot one of the sodas so we had mentioned it to one of the servers. Through the course of an hour, that soda was still not brought over even after another two attempts of asking for it. Additionally, we filled out the form for our second order of meats. The form also sat at the edge of the table not taken by a server. Yet, we watched several servers rushing to the tables around us to help other patrons. Even the tables we were placed between. It felt like we were deliberately being skipped or if we were invisible. Finally, by around 5:40ish a server came around to ask if there was anything else she could get for us. I informed her that we had been still waiting on a soda we ordered almost an hour ago (my girlfriend went the whole time without a drink she ordered) and that our broths were empty in the pot (imagine trying to eat hot pot without any broth to cook the items) and that we never got more meat than first round of thin meat. She apologized and asked if she could still get the drink?! At that point, why would we want to wait longer for just the drink. The meal was over at that point and our appetite was ruined. We declined the free dessert because we didn't know how long that would take or if it would even make it to our table. Word of advice, I understand that weekends are busy times for restaurants but if you come here expect the possibility of being forgotten entirely. And for $89 for two people?!?! Ya, you're better off spending your money elsewhere like Bun World that opened up next door. Please work on this, especially for people choosing to spend that much money on a meal out. The least that can be done is a drink order. read more

Conveniently south of Ontario Mills mall, Boiling World is a great place to get your fix for hot pot. I do like the all you can eat meats and vegetables, although you can order 3 of those white plates of meat at a time. The vegetables that they had were of the Asian variety, so I really liked that especially the shiitake mushrooms. Maybe I didn't see it, but I was looking for the crab legs and crawfish, but alas, this isn't that traditional Asian buffet. I thought overall, this place is pretty expensive for what you get. If I had to come back here, I'd probably do lunch on a weekday where it is more affordable. The nice touch was the individual packaged ice cream in matcha green tea flavor. read more

Wooo! Awesome hot pot place. Lots of space and tables. Place is so clean and the veggies and meats were really fresh. I thought the tonkatsu and sweet and sour brothers were lacking something, but everything else tasted great. I loved all the different small appetizers like cucumber salad and kimchi that you can choose from. The service was fast too. We didn't wait at all on a Friday for lunch. There's also ice cream at the end for lunch, don't miss it! It was 28.95 for AYCE lunch. read more
