Boiling Point is always solid. I got the beef and it was great. They give you a bunch of veggies which is really nice. I love how the soup stays hot the whole time. The reason I had to take off two stars is because they skipped over our group and gave the table to a different table of 8. I thought it was very rude to skip us and then they never acknowledged their mistake. They were dismissive and said we will get the next table for 8 which took some time because the restaurant was packed. read more

I came on a Friday night around 7 and it was PACKED. There was a check in paper and I saw there were about 6 parties ahead, but ended up waiting only about 20 minutes before my group got a table!! The staff was super helpful and understanding because my group had a baby and he was super loud(we took turns holding him outside so we don't both everyone in the restaurant). I got the house special soup and the baby loved it and he told everyone how good it was lol!! They were always coming and checking on us while we were there! It was my birthday so I let them know, and because I didn't order a drink they made me one when my group was paying and were super sweet about it!! The person at the front was also our server was super sweet, I just didn't get his name unfortunately because it was so crazy but I love this location over the GG one!!!! read more

I came here on a weekday for dinner and waited close to an hour and a half to be seated. While we were waiting, I overheard other guests asking if there was still rice and so I asked for good measure as well. Once we finally got seated, we placed our orders. We noticed that our broth came out and the rice was delayed. Once we asked the server, they let us know that it was no longer available. This is the type of restaurant that is pretty difficult to eat without rice and so it was a huge disappointment. We ended up just taking our food to-go to eat it at home. The servers were not very accommodating and it seemed like this was a consistent issue at this restaurant. I likely would not return to this location but try another hot pot restaurant. read more

Been coming here for over a decade now and still love the food. It's been consistent over the years and it's nice to just have that spot you can go to where you're confident you'll enjoy it every time. Their music is alwaaaaaaays on point, i feel like I need their playlist every time I come the only drawback is service, can be pretty slow/negligent but honestly just be proactive in getting their attention-- the food and music will carry your experience read more

Went last night for late night hot pot. Got seated quickly, considering it was 8PM on a Sunday. Ambiance was good, music playing at adequate level. Food is always consistent, service was good. Just missed a few things my party requested which was a seafood allergy. Seafood, that was requested to not be included, remnants were found in the pot. read more

I've been to this location a few times already, hoping to give them good and fair chances, but unfortunately I cannot. The many times I've dined here with friends, we felt like we're not being served properly. Yes, we received our food which is indeed delicious, but we were never check on if we wanted to refill our soup base, turn off the flame, etc. Our last visit here, we only saw a trainee walking and serving customers on his own, and a girl coming by to refill our water glasses. While the rest of the crew were just at the register area, looking like they were chatting among each other. A friend of mine pointed out a guy in a black shirt, wearing a silver chain, and not an apron, dancing in place behind another guy at the register. He looked at him when he tried to raise his hand for the bill. The man instead looked away and continued dancing in place, then looking at his colleague at the register, and laughing. If he was an employee there or if he was the one in charge since he was the only one not in uniform, then it seemed very unprofessional and we felt it was very rude and like he just dismissed us like he did not want to do any work, or could have at least told one of his colleagues that there was a customer requesting help. I want to point out that the trainee, despite him walking around the dining area on his own, amd it wad very busy that day, he did do his best to serve us and we appreciate all the help he had done for us and the customers around our seating area. Not exactly sure if we'll come back to this location after our few not very good visits, but if we do, we hope there is an improvement in the service part of the restaurant read more

Still scarred from our recent visit. A trainee took an order for me and my daughter, then despite multiple inquiries it was still like a half hour and we hadn't gotten anything, except two measly bowls of rice to tide ourselves over. Then another staffer told us someone made a mistake and the order had never actually been put in! Pathetic. Place seems like it's run by a bunch of kids. We lost faith any food would ever come so we left and went to Egg Tuck in the same plaza. Sad! read more

Boiling point's Taiwanese hot pot is one of my favorite versions of hot pot. Your broth of choice is served in your own personal wok with everything included as a complete dish. They have their own sauces on the table, which is great with all of the ingredients that you fish out of your "wok in a box". Unlike traditional shabu shabu, where you cook your meat in a bland broth, the flavors in this taiwanese hot pot are concentrated. There are a variety of options that they have here. I tend to like to go with their "beef" flavor, which has beef in spicy broth amongst seafood, tofu, and veggies. While my wife likes to go with "miso", she went today with "milk cream curry" and she really enjoyed that on this cold night. I appreciate that the flavors of each broth are very unique. While my beef broth was beefy and spicy (as I chose it as "medium spicy"), my wife's milk cream curry flavor reminded me of a Malay-type curry flavor. Waits can be pretty long at prime dinner time- we waited about 45-55 minutes before we were seated. Service isn't very attentive and it's the primary reason that the yelp average is around 3.5 stars. I do think, however, the food is easily at least four stars and it's perfect for a cold winter night. read more

We like spicy food. The challenge is always convincing the server that we want extra spicy. The standard answer we usually get is "you can use the chili oil on the table. It's the same." Unfortunately, it is not the same. Vincent, who took our order, not only didn't fight with us, he also delivered! Our food came out as we like it. That's called excellent customer service . Vincent! Vincent! Vincent! His name is worth mentioning over and over again. Another person I would like to recognize is Andre. He had been really helpful and courteous. Overall, we had a very pleasant visit, which is not always the case. Thank you Vincent and Andre!w read more

I love Boiling Point, it's the perfect size and comfort food for when I'm craving for something warm, easy to order and have a balance of protein, veggies and carbs. There's a few favorites but during my visit here, I wanted to try a new pot and I decided to go with the Miso pot. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I also tried some of the appetizers, which I normally don't get but I was looking at the menu and my friend mentioned she really liked the garlic pork belly which we ordered and indeed it lived up to my expectations! I love how strong the garlic flavor and taste was, I'm definitely looking forward to trying other menu items during my next visit to a BP location. I found the Artesia's location to be quite cozy and spacious, I like the details to the interior! read more

Food was good , just the amount of meat they give you seems a bit more less. My main complaint was the customer service , 1. no one greeted you or gave you a proper introduction 2. All the employees looked mad and irritated, they made us felt unwelcome based on the vibes. 3. We request our check from another server and she simply ignored us. Our server never came back and check up on us. Boiling point has a lot of potential in doing better in business, the employees just need more motivation and training. read more

I can never get tired eating delicious hot pot. Came in between 2-3pm, got seated right away. No matter how hot the weather is, it's still nice to eat hotpot here because the Ac will cool you down. read more

Decent hot pot and fair portions. The service felt pretty inattentive, and we had to flag someone down more than once. Not a bad place, but the overall experience was just average. read more

Went here for the first time and it was pretty good! The staff were really kind and they brought out the food really fast. We had to wait 20-30 minutes around dinner time, which wasn't too bad. Not the best hot pot I have had, but still a decent spot to try if you're looking to satisfy that craving. read more

TL;DR - awesome, filling hot pot spot for a rainy day also i just want to say how good their milk teas w boba (so soft & warm & chewy) are like OMG better than a lot of boba places, definitely try it out pretty solid, the spice levels are definitely accurate & i don't really have any notes - my go-to is the beef hot pot, the vermicelli is super good! - it can get pretty busy, so the staff doesn't check up super often, just be sure to let them know to extinguish your fire to avoid melting your noodles, etc. - super duper busy during lunch, so it can feel pretty humid & crowded with the steam, not a lot of comfy seating space read more

Boiling Point - milk tea, beef pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Artesia, California

Surprised to find the place packed on a Wednesday night at 7:30pm. We put our name down on their waiting system and waited about 20 minutes. We came back and we were supposedly "next" but they sat a couple that came after us down first. It looks like there's an issue with their waiting system so it's not the best option if you're in a time crunch. I've been coming to Boiling Point for years and their portions have become significantly smaller and smaller while getting more expensive every year. The taste is still solid but I'm not sure if it's worth returning after the most recent experience. read more

One of my first times getting a to-go order from this location and it did not disappoint. You can order online which makes it nice and convenient if you don't feel like sitting down when it's packed (which it does get on weekends for dinner). Although there was an odd computer glitch delaying my order a bit, at least I was able to pick it up super fresh. Even after a 20 minute drive home, it was still hot and really fresh when I got home and didn't require me to reheat it or anything. I ordered the Beef hot pot which is one of their most popular choices. We had ordered a total of 4 soups for the family and a side of lamb which was all packaged pretty well; each individual soup had a little cardboard square under the bowl to give it structure and stopped the bowls from toppling over on the drive back. It also worked well to prevent a mess when we ate it at home. Comes with a cute little utensil set on the side although the spoon is pretty tiny, but still convenient; they even throw in little Konjac jelly packets to-go which sort of replaces the little chia seed shots they normally give you when dining in which is a nice touch. Although not as good as dining in, onsidering the order was to-go it still tasted great and hit the Boiling Point cravings! read more

I love hot pot so that's one thing. The first time I went to this location they had great service and always asked us if we needed anything. The second time I went it was in the afternoon and the service was HORRIBLE. The workers were on their phones and all the customers kept having to get up to ask for stuff. Also they were on their phones when there was a customer standing in front of them at the register. So disrespectful. I only gave it three stars because the food was good and the service the first time was great. The inside of the restaurant was completely empty the second time we went, and yet the servers were not great. There were many booths for us to sit the second time and it was very clean. Yet, they could not serve us. read more

I love the food this place is my go to for hot soup the flavor is amazing. We have been coming here for years. Today 6/11 around 1:30pm was quite a different experiance. Me and my fiance can not eat pork for religious reasons. We told the waiter no pork on both lamb dishes it has pork blood. We emphasized its about 3x kindly. My fiance still got pork blood in his soup to which they replaced it and apoligied and we kindly said thank you it was no problem. However the staff behind the counter started making rude remarks. A female waitress came to the table and i asked if i could get more brothe please. To which she said yes. She never came back and stayed behind the counter we made eye contact with another waiter to which we over heard the word "ignore". They made us uncomfortable and it wasnt very professional the ambiance for us was killed after that. I would say they could improve on the service our actual waiter however was very kind. Very unprofessional and it almost discriminating they didnt need to behave negativly like that. A easy mistake a easy fix no big deal and we didnt give any attitude being trated like that was unnecessary. read more

I like that they have a vegetarian soup option - lots of veggies and mushrooms. The broth is light but tasty. This place is a bit pricey though. read more

Great place to have lunch. I came here just before it got busy. If you want to beat the lunch rush, come here before noon. GUARANTEE FASTER SERVICE AND NO WAIT. I ordered the number 1 House Special with medium spice. If you are new to the place or are undecided about what to order, I recommend the House Special. It comes with a little of everything and a good portion of meat, tofu, and vegetables. The flavor is just right, but it tastes much better with the dipping sauce provided on the table. The food is a little pricey but it's worth it. You will be satisfied. The restaurant is a good spot to bring a date or just hang out with friends and enjoy good food. It was pretty clean when I came for lunch. read more

My first time at this location since I've moved to the area. It's located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. The wait was pretty long when I went since it was just about peak dinner time on a Sunday. Thankfully they have one of those Yelp tablets to put your name down and you'll receive a text message when your table is almost ready, so my husband and I were able to walk around to see the other businesses in the plaza. We both ordered the beef, mild spicy. We asked for rice but they ran out and were still making some so we got the vermicelli noodles instead. About halfway through our meal we saw some other customers (ones who were sat before us and ones who came after us) who got some rice so we asked an employee if we could also get rice now that it was ready. (*We were also happy that we weren't charged for the rice since we had both the rice and noodles) The food was good, but for some reason the mild was more spicy than expected. I always get the mild beef at BP but in another location and this location was a bit more spicy. Some parts of service could be better. We had to ask for water refills, napkins and things several times. The only time we didn't have to ask for something was when an employee with a pot would make non-stop rounds asking if customers wanted some extra broth/water to add to their pot. Despite having to flag down someone often, the workers are friendly. read more

Lunch in SoCal - Haven't been to a boiling point in a while. The taste was still how I remembered it, although the lamb was a bit too tough. The service was okay. What we didn't appreciate was the long wait without an estimated wait time. The Yelp waitlist would be useful in this situation. So many people were just standing outside as the area didn't really have much that we could walk around for. Well I bought some lottery tickets and scratch cards next door lol. The food was good but not sure if we would come back to this location. It might not be worth the wait. read more

Always love going to this place, the soup is much more flavorful than other BP locations. I always get the beef but less Napa cabbage since they put a lot in the bowl! Always try to go early than peak time and for lunch & you'll get a free drink! (11 AM -3PM). Service is always nice! read more

I have been coming to this place for years and recently, the service is not as great as it was. They are consistent with their food but not with their service. I ordered to go a many times and most of those times, there is always something that's missing (one incident there were no utensils, another incident they forgot to include condiments and worst was when they forgot our rice/noodles side). Once is alright but missing stuff more than once is not good. I hope they train their servers well. read more

Feeling great to be back at Boiling Point! I've been a fan of Boiling Point since my high school days, and it has always been my go-to comfort food. Back in college, my friends and I would often go to BP locations after exams. It was exactly what we needed to unwind. Recently, I stopped by the Artesia location, and I have to say, the flavors are just as amazing as I remember! I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot, and it was absolutely delicious. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with the perfect level of spice. I also noticed they've updated their menu with more meat options, which was a pleasant surprise. My order was satisfying from start to finish, and I can't wait to come back soon to try more hot pots! The service here was excellent! Our server took our orders quickly, and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating available. Despite visiting on a Sunday afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait which is a big plus! If you're craving a comforting, hearty, and flavorful meal, Boiling Point never disappoints! read more

The food here is good but god damnnnn I wish the manager would hire more hosts and wait staff per shift. Having just 3 people to man and juggle the store is crazy especially knowing how busy this location gets. There's been so many times where there's a ton of open tables that need to be cleaned with a line piling up outside; however, the staff is busy waiting on other guests to even have time to clean and seat more people and keep this flow going. The staff themselves are nice-- got a good crew of youngins trying their best to keep up with the rush & have good customer service. But honestly it's management that needs to figure this shit out. Probably too cheap to hire more people per shift. read more

I went there on a hot summer day ~82° outside, which was perfect because I hate crowded places. I came to this boiling point since it was right next to my apartment and wanted to give it a shot. I walked in and there were only 5 tables and 4 workers (1 girl/3 guys) at the register. Mind you, I walked in - and everyone that works there saw me and NO ONE acknowledged me. I worked at many restaurants in my life including ones that had been shut down and that is the #1 thing they tell you to do. (Benihana, Sakura Ichi, Boiling Crab & Crawfish, the Bucket crab & crawfish, Sake 2 Me Cerritos, and Wonton Forest. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR CUSTOMERS. I had a few questions I wanted to ask because I already looked at the menu prior to entering the restaurant. So, I just stared at everyone and still, nothing. They acted as if I was invisible to the point that I walked up to the guy (wears glasses) at the register AFTER he blatantly ignored me waving my hand at him. I was walking up to him to talk to him hands length and he STILL turned away from me to walk to the register, whereas I angrily said "IS this place self serve?" He said no, "you look at the menu and we go ask for your order". I've been to Boiling Points at all types of locations AND my cousin used to work at the one in Rowland Heights Life Plaza and I will tell you I have never felt this dismissed entering a restaurant before. If you're looking to be blatantly ignored and dismissed for mediocre food, try it out. If not, try Red Flame down the street. They are only a few streets away. read more

Tried the beef bowl. Never had something so distasteful in my life. It taste like the burnt scraps you'd find stuck on the edges of an old oily frying pan. There wasn't much flavor besides old oil, texture seemed almost like biting into clumped sand with small crystals breaking apart. I gave it a good few bites for the benefit of doubt before I just set it aside and gave up. For reference here are some photos of what they advertise on the poster versus what you get. PLEASE do not get this. Hot pot is fine though. read more

Stopped by Boiling Point in Artesia and ordered the #6 Spicy with noodles--super tasty with just the right amount of heat! Really hit the spot. I also had their green tea, and honestly, it was amazing--light, smooth, and a perfect pairing with the meal. The service was quick, and the vibe was cozy--great for a casual lunch or dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Regarding staff that were working between the hours of 3pm-3:35pm on 3/11/26... Came here to dine alone for the first time. I used to dine at this particular location frequently. Thought it would be a nice experience but it ended up being the total opposite. With it being a Wednesday, it wasn't as busy as it normally would be. My order was taken right away and the food came out quickly. After a good 20-30 minutes went by, I noticed that my server never came to check on me. Never asked me if everything was ok, or whether I needed a drink refill/ basic customer needs. All of the servers seemed to be too busy chit chatting amongst each other. When I was done eating, I had to go up to the counter because the server never brought over the bill. When I questioned why no one came to check on me during the entire duration of my dining experience, I was given the most insincere apology. This is exactly why AI is slowly taking over. No one wants to do the job that they were actually hired to do! Please hire staff that are actually willing to provide customer service in your establishment. Terrible experience and I truly hope no one ever has to be put through the same. read more

When I used to live nearby, this Boiling Point was very easy to dine in at. The service here is always on point, and the staff always took good care to refill our waters and check on us. The restrooms are clean. The inside is dimlove you lit but your eyes adjust quickly. Also, the tables are close to one another so be ready to knock elbows with your neighbor. Typically, I would order either the milk cream curry or the lamb hot pot. Rarely do need to add anything additional because the toppings are already plentiful. For one person, the serving size is just right for me. Overall, I always leave stuffed and satisfied. Downside is this parking lot shares with other popular restaurants and anchor stores like 99 Ranch & Daiso. Parking can be a hassle if you're in a rush and hungry. read more

Food is great. Service is terrible. To the fact that I have the time to write this review as I'm waiting for my food. They take a long time to seat the parties when there are at least 3+ open tables already. They take a long time to take your order. They take a long time to bring the food out as well. There's just no urgency here. Prob will just get takeout from now on instead of dining in. read more

A reliable, good classic to love! You can probably count on a line if you come right at meal time hours (12 pm, 6 pm), but they make the check-in line simple! Came here with a friend around 12pm on a Friday and after waiting around 20-30 min, we got seated. I got a Milk Cream Curry pot and it was perfect with the winter weather coming! Very creamy, love the meat, cabbage, and fish balls unique to this pot. Service was quick and was around once we wanted to put our flame out, ask for cups of water, or for the bill. I also tried their new upgrade on the complimentary rice to a beef bowl, which was a great compliment! The sauces are always good, I love the garlic soy sauce and paste. BONUS: the lunch special hour comes with a free tea! We got their sweet green tea that was simple, not too sweet, and the perfect pairing! They have a bathroom available, parking outside in the lot is always easy and the surrounding area feels safe. Look forward to coming back soon! read more

Service was not terrible, our waters were filled. Sometimes it was hard to get the waiters attention. The one guy we kept getting, he kept saying we were scaring him ‍ our wait wasn't too bad on a Monday early morning, probably around 10-15 mins. The parking lot was not busy, but I can imagine it getting pretty full for dinner over a weekend or holiday. Big portions, I got the lamb and it was pretty yummy! read more

Hmm, not really sure what the hype is around BP. This is my second time and I was trying to give it another shot. I love hotpot but BP didn't really hit for me. Wait was quite long so you know this is a popular hotpot spot. I wanted the lamb hotpot but was super sad that they ran out of lamb meat...how do you run out of lamb meat? There's a 99 ranch market across the plaza. Jk but really, I was quite disappointed. The waiter offered to replace it with any other type of protein. Since my bf ordered the beef hotpot, I opted for the pork in my lamb broth. To my dismay, the pork was tough and chewy. It was cut too thick and I personally think that when they serve it already cooked in the hotpot, I think the meat became overcooked. My preference is probably hotpots that allow you to cook your own veggies and meat. That way, it ensures that it's cooked to your liking. I also dislike that every pot comes with different ingredients - I found that I wanted something from the beef hotpot and the lamb hotpot, so maybe BP just isn't the place for me since they don't allow customizations. You can't pick your own soup, meat, condiments, or veggies. Maybe other's who like the simplicity of not having to customize, might enjoy BP's menu a bit more. read more
