Boiling Point

Hot pot has always been my personal favorite place. I love coming here for their individual hot pot. It is so good, and I'm so addicted to it, but my only complaint is that there is always a long waiting list to be seated. Other than that, it would be perfect.

The personal hot pot is great value for what you get and has fantastic flavour in the broth. My go-to is medium-spicy beef with rice and green tea (if it's lunch). The food is consistently good at BP, and I like that there are so many ingredients. I've tried locations in Irvine and Garden Grove and even DoorDashed BP. It never disappoints.

I recommend going early to avoid a long wait. Recently, I went around noon after BP reopened in September. I joined the waitlist but only waited around 10 minutes for a table. Food came out relatively quickly.

The atmosphere at the Irvine location is nice. It's spacious inside the restaurant, so it doesn't feel cramped even if you're one of the parties waiting for a table.

Fun experience! The soups are prepared with vegetables, a protein, tofu, and vermicelli/glass noodles. We ordered 3 soups (house special, beef #4, & curry ) and the broths were very tasty. You choose whether you want rice or vermicelli noodles, and the level of spiciness (mild was just right). The service was amazing, servers were very attentive, asking if we wanted more broth, if we wanted our pot 🔥on/ off, and etc. Located in a corner of the shopping center.

Among all Boiling Point locations, I think Irvine is the best. The quality remains the same everytime I visit, the parking is spacious, and the customer service is decent. Recommended dishes are beef, and milk cream curry with some tofu skin and pork instestine. Their milk tea is so so underrated because Hokkaido Milk Tea and Jasmine are much better than other Taiwaneseboba store!

Amazing hot pot! Ice tea included with lunch pot. Good flavors and excellent service. They are usually busy so you most likely need to check in at the door and wait for the text. Highly recommended!

My friend absolutely raves about this place, putting it in a category of its own, so we decided to come check it out together. I had the Tonkotsu Miso, and she had the Taiwanese Spicy. Mine, I requested it with the lowest spicy level and it was manageable. Hers came only with the highest spicy option, but she enjoyed it. Overall, a great place for Hot Pot lovers in general. 100% recommended.

Nothing can compare to Boiling Point, hands down probably one of the best franchises I’ve eaten in SoCal so far. It’s hit and miss sometimes with different location or different time of the day when it comes to the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot. Sometimes it comes out perfect with the way the spice levels are supposed to be, and some times there no spice at all. It gets packed here so expect to wait until your number is called. Also sucks that they don’t take Amex either. Overall, still crave it from time to time!

They doubled the meat!!! Prices didn't increase that much. Apparently they offer a small bowl of noodles for kids, which is standard for pho restaurants. Been going there for years and i never knew that.

Always provides a great meal although every once in awhile they're out of something in one of the soups. Not a big deal as they'll usually sub in something else but can be a bummer if it's your favorite item. Highly recommend Boiling Point if you're in the mood for hot pot. Their mini personal hotpots are amazing. Definitely check it out.

Food was delicious, service was efficient and patient when I asked questions.

Boom food, to say the least! Everything is so tasty!

Delicious Hokkaido milk tea and tasty hot soups
With a cool environment.
Korean bean paste, mushroom veggies, milk cream curry, and sea food and tofu are my favorite hot soups with the different levels of 🌶. This place is my forever hotpot place.

Lots of good options. Some of the food is spicy and some have stinky tofu, so please ask if you are concerned about smelly or spicy food. You can share a pot between two people, so don't feel bad about sharing a soup and ordering more things to add.

Good Quality. Reasonable Price $$
Fast Service . Nice Attitude Employee.
Very Tasty Tea Milk Tea. Free small tea for each Hotpot.

I love love love Boiling Point! It is truly a pleasure to live so close to one. Important things you’ll need to know: 1) you can opt to receive text messages of when your table is almost ready 2) they have a mobile app that gives you points for every dollar you spend 3) you’ll get to refill your broth as often as you like! Please keep in mind that if you opted for the text, you MUST wait in the area because most of the time they never really wait for you to arrive. They just expect you to be there... I recommend always opting for at least the “mild” option because if you get one without any spice it is way too bland in my opinion.

I've been here with some co-workers and we would have to wait since we had a party of around five to six people. The wait wasn't terrible and all you had to do for the wait list is to type in your phone number to their iPad and they'll text you when the table is ready. I usually go with the beef hot pot and I like the flavour of it. I go between mild and medium (depending on how much I wanted to suffer that day). I would go for at least a mild spice since the broth seems to be lacking without any spice. Also here's a tip: don't drink water while you eat the hot pot or else you'll feel the burn more in your mouth!

Flaming hot was really spicy. Regular spicy was it for me. Beef or Lamb was very successful. Spicy Taiwanese offers only flaming hot option. Taste was very good, staff was friendly.

Boiling Point is my favorite Mini Hot Pot restaurant in Irvine. It’s always a great time to have dinner here! So delicious 😋

I loved it. Burned my mouth with spicy Taiwanese hotpot. Had a blast testing my spicy tolerance. (I ordered number 8)

Nothing to say because I’m a fan of boiling point and I try at branch many time already and a lot of people love BP as well🤩😍
