    My husband and I came in for a weeknight dinner date. The decor was cute, aesthetic, and clean, with a clear bar-restaurant vibe. We were invited to sit at any table we liked and scan QR codes to view the menu, which was easy and convenient. Service here was truly exceptional. The staff was extremely attentive throughout our entire meal and made us feel very well taken care of. We also enjoyed the mini sauce bar, though we really wished they had black vinegar! We ordered the Satay Beef Hot Pot, Sichuan Spicy Hot Pot, and the Garlicky Enoki Mushroom Sizzler. The Satay Beef broth was too reminiscent of peanut butter for my taste and reminded me a lot of kare kare (a Filipino dish). I don't enjoy savory dishes that taste like peanut butter, so this wasn't for me--though I think I might've liked it more if it had more depth from additional spices or aromatics. The Sichuan Spicy broth was neither very spicy nor numbing, despite the name. It wasn't red, only had a few Sichuan peppers (and no peppercorns), and felt extremely mild compared to traditional Sichuan hot pot broth. The Enoki Mushroom Sizzler was bland and lacked flavor. I felt like I had to dip it into sauce just to enjoy it, so we packed it up to revive it later at home. While the service made the dinner experience pleasant, every dish we ordered lacked the punchy Asian flavors we were expecting. The flavors felt more catered to the masses rather than traditional or bold. Parking: Plenty of spaces in the strip mall where the restaurant is located.

    Individual fusion hot pot at an affordable price? Nice. Even better, they offer a variety options that will satisfy a diverse group of people such as vegetarian, curry, lamb, and chicken. I opted for the Sichuan Spicy which is filled with all the typical goodies that I would gather for hot pot. The broth did not disappoint -- it didn't contain much of the usual numbing spice but still tasted great nonetheless. At ~$25 after tip, it's quite the bargain for a similar amount of food that I'd get at an all-you-can-eat location.

    I feel like my experience at Boiling Avenue could have been better. While the food was fairly good, I feel like the service for me was a little poor for my first time being there. During my time I felt like my food took a little longer than usual to come out, while there was no one else dining, there was also a delivery driver that was trying to get some sort of situation figured out, so that's probably why my food took a bit longer to come out. As mentioned, the food was pretty good but unfortunately I found pieces of plastic in my soup which I thought was maybe uncooked noodles/vermicelli but after leaving it in the boiling broth for a while nothing changed and it was visibly noticeable that it looked like shredded plastic.

    Came early and there was plenty of seating! Service was fast and attentive and the personal hot pot was the perfect thing on a cold day. It was a lot of food in the pot and you can ask for unlimited broth refills! The lamb lover was spicier than anticipated so be careful when ordering it.

    Boiling Ave is the perfect spot during the cold/rainy season. The vibe is very casual, so I am usually show up in my comfy clothes. My go-to order is the Lobster Hot Pot. It comes with a Lobster Tail, Shrimps, Mussels, Stuffed Fishball, Lobster Fishball, Assorted Seasonal Vegetables, Vermicelli... definitely worth the price ($23.99). They have a self-serve area where you can help yourself to a variety of sauces. They also have a wide variety of beverages/drinks. I usually go for their House Flavored Soju, which you can mix and match flavors. My favorite it Passionfruit Mango. The staff are always very friendly and attentive, and the food comes out relatively quick. It's just a matter of waiting for you hot pot to cook.

    Great spot to come chill & enjoy individual hot pot and small plates. Its been a minute since I've been back here but this place never disappoints. The service was quick and our server very attentive. She was always checking on our table. This place is small but has a great vibe. Casual & trendy where you can eat, drink and catch up with friends. They have happy hour every day from 3-6pm. We were able to order many shareble dishes during this time. We ordered the house special hot pot to share which includes Beef, Shrimp, Lobster Fishball, Stuffed Fishball, Spam, Imitation Crab Stick, Fried Tofu, Assorted veggies and noodles. It was flavorful and full filling. We had the kimchi fried rice which was perfectly seasoned, the braised pork with quail egg was soft and balanced with sweet and savory flavors. We also had the popcorn chicken which was crunchy and well seasoned. Corn and fries , just because! As for drinks we had the soju flights, forgot the flavors however we were told flavors are different monthly. This just want you to come back and try their other flavors. Im not a fan of sweet alcoholic drinks but doesnt hurt to try. However if you're not a soju fan, they have different types of beers and sake bomb and mocktails. My friend and I got their echigo red ale which tasted smooth, slightly dry, and has a refreshing finish. Overall, I enjoyed the food, drinks & experience here.

    Sichuan Spicy hot pot.  Yummy : )

    Came in on a Thursday around 6pm. We came with friends who love this place!!! And I agree!! Our waitress (I think her name was Lilly) was so nice and friendly. She even gave us a Lilly special for one of our items. Our order was a spicy Sichuan hot pot with no clams and extra spam, popcorn chicken and pepper fried tofu. This was plenty of items for the two of us. We also went for the 6 item soju flight. The hot pot was well filled and the broth was spicy but not tooo spicy. The popcorn chicken was well cooked and not greasy. The dipping sauce it came with was fantastic. The fried tofu perfectly cooked for our taste. Overall we loved this place. Service is stellar for this type of restaurant and food and drinks were great too!! This restaurant is clean and not overly crowded with too many tables. It was just right.

    Great cozy spot for personal hot pot! I came here on a rainy day and it was the perfect meal. Many different options to choose from. Service was fast and the servers were super nice. Sauce bar is smaller than other places I've been to but they had the essentials. Plenty of seating while still feeling cozy. Highly recommend!

    Pretty solid for individual hot pots in the modern style that's hit everywhere since Boiling Point hit the scene however many years ago. You cook your meat tableside as it arrives raw, so make sure you have time for leisurely lunch before heading over. Menu is pretty standard for these places, quite affordable, and the vibe is cliche but completely fitting. Parking is very decent at the tiny strip mall section they're located in, and they have a variety of tables inside for different sizes of groups.

    Came here again recently, and don't plan to come back. Realized there's not much (raw) meat provided, and a lot of cabbage filling. And i've just tried other places that are better. But the broths are very good!

    loveee this place! Whenever I am in the area and I am craving it, I love to get it along with their shrimp skewer. Service is great and everyone is friendly. They're all around college-aged servers so customer service never fails. It can also get busy in the place depending on the time of day. Other than that, there is music playing in the background so it's not an awkward silence

    New item!? Tempura shrimp curry don. SO GOOD!!!
    Fred C.

    We pretty much come here after pickleball. Tried the new item, tempura shrimp curry don. So good!! They also just expended their drink and alcohol menu. I wanted to try their new matcha latte drinks but i was so full. So Im going to have to come back to try that next time!

    Do the shrimps for the hotpot have the head on or off?

    Head on. Legs. Shell. All that.

    Do they let you swap the broth? Let's say I prefer the ingredients of house special but I would like it to be Sichuan spicy?

    Yes they do swap out broths for a $2 charge

    Is rice available?i like to mix rice and broth at the end of the meal.

    Yes! Rice is available!

    Are there any dipping sauces?

    They have a jar at the table (sa cha/bbq sauce)and a mini sauce bar in the back with 4 options (I only remember garlic, Thai chili, and house)!

    How does the curry hotpot taste like?

    It's kinda on the thick side, but tasty!

    I haven't been to Taiwan Best Mart since the pandemic and completely forgot about the place until I…read moredrove by today. I ordered the Bento Box to-go and it was ready in less than 10 min. Each Bento Box comes with purple rice, pickled mustard green (my fav), sautéed Taiwanese cabbage, and two daily side of your choice. You also get to pick the main dish, which I selected the stewed pork. For the sides, I went with original sausage and stewed egg. I'm trying to prioritize my protein whenever possible and they are protein friendly here. I appreciate the items were neatly arranged in the to-go Bento Box. I thoroughly enjoyed every items I have selected. It wasn't greasy and full of flavors. Besides Bento Boxes, they have noodles, soup, small bites and side dishes. I want to try the Taiwanese Fried Chicken next time. They also have a freezer full of dumplings, fish balls, sauces, cooked items and etc. for purchase. I got the Zha Jiang (pork meat sauce) that I can't wait to try on noodles. There are 4-5 tables to dine in if you preferred but I think this is more like a take-out spot.

There was a sign that says to take the QR Code to put in my order. I stood there by the counter thinking ok someone will come eventually. A man came to counter and greeted hello and next thing you know it he walked to the back of the restaurant where the kitchen was. I scratched my head thinking, OK I GUESS THEY WERENT KIDDING about ordering through their QR CODE. I had to turn off my WIFI on my phone because XFINITY WAS interfering with my browser access. I'm stepped outside in front of their restaurant and ordered. I ordered their bento with a garlic sausage and a beef soup. What's bad is by waiting in their showroom dining area, I was never given a receipt to confirm if I put in my order. I'm not even sure if it went through. My card confirmed they took my money. So I guess it went through. Their QR code app doesn't even have a way to tell me if I made the order or not. Checked my email and still no receipt. My food was ready in 5 mins. On my way out as the young man handed me my package, I asked him "is this how people normally pay by QR CODE?" He answered with a hesitant tone, "Yes " I replied, "ok just checking." The Garlic Sausage reminded me of the Filipino Garlic longaniza. Slightly different. Maybe it's lighter but it tasted good. There was steamed cabbage and garlic seaweed. Pretty good. I think the food reminds me of home style cooking.

On my latest visit it was a very busy Sunday, but I was able to place an order for take-out and then wait in my car for the order to be ready. I ended up ordering the pork steamed rice noodle roll, the beef and cilantro steamed rice noodle roll, the garlic long beans, and the beef and mixed mushrooms. I saw a couple of other Elites dining in when I was ordering, but it was so busy I couldn't properly say hi, so "HI DAVID AND EVA!" I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

We decided to try a little bit of everything and here is what we ordered: hot and sour soup, potstickers, spicy cucumbers, BBQ pork, BBQ pork fried rice, Mongolian beef, and honey walnut shrimp. The food came out fast and piping hot. Pretty soon our entire table was covered with dishes. We started with the hot and sour soup, which we both felt was lacking in the flavor department. It didn't have that spicy tang that you look for when you order hot and sour soup. The potstickers were fried crispy, but the dough was a little too thick. The spicy cucumbers had no flavor to them at all. And the honey walnut shrimp was not memorable. We both felt that the two best dishes were the BBQ pork fried rice and the Mongolian beef. The beef was tender and had good flavor. The prices were extremely fair and the portions were large, but all in all this was not my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area.

    Getting home cooked style meal cant be any more satisfying while traveling and authentic Chinese…read morefood is harder to find! To all my canto peeps, this will be the place where you feel like home. However a tad variation of preferences to taste buds. My family is from a different area from the Mr. with a different flavor profile than his. So here is our take: braised beef noodle soup - we loved but the Mr. loved it more. Soup reminded me of shoyu ramen with garlic. Simple, soothing and flavorful. I loved it but it was missing a few spices I am personally used to such as more spice mix and pickled mustard greens. House Fried Rice (Thursday special) - this was simple yet satisfying. With shrimp and Chinese sausage in it. Carb overload but it was such a comfort food we cant help but finish it. House soup dumplings which we also liked but again he loved this one more also. Again, simple yet flavorful, clean comfort food while i felt the skin was a tad thicker than what I prefer. So this one depends on your preferences. Regardless, this was still good. Ambiance: clean and welcoming. They have a TV screen to highlight their food items with pictures which I always love to help me find what i want to eat. But wont lie, it makes me want to get every item on there. They all look yummy. Service: Its a family run restaurant and one person serving everyone plus seating and taking the bill. So during rush hour, do expect wait times but I completely understand and don't mind it. I can see they are busy and would rather than go to a place that is slow where the server walks like a sloth. That is always an eye sore to me. Cost: prices are reasonable and same to any other places similar. Parking is in a huge plaza and can be crowded during rush hour but still enough just may need to walk further a bit. If we ever travel this way again, will definitely be back!
