    #4 Beef Hot Soup
    Audrey E.

    My local spot for when I'm craving hot pot! I usually order the beef pot and it never disappoints. When you go around their lunch special hours you can get a free tea with your pot. The beef pot is delicious, bursting with flavors. I usually get my broth mild because it's pretty spicy. I get it with vermicelli. Service is great, staff members are super friendly, tentative, and efficient. Ambiance is nice, there's descent amount of booths and tables. There's always a wait, but they have a iPad for you to put your name on the waitlist.

    Am I crazy for eating hot pot in 90 weather? Absolutely lol. I've been to the Boiling Point in Garden Grove many times, but this was my first visit at this location. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a large parking lot with plenty of spots. Ambiance/Environment: I really like this location because it's very spacious, unlike the GG location. They have a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. All tables and chairs were clean. We visited during early dinner hours on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. More foot traffic came around 17:00-19:00. Service: Shout out to our server Jewel! She's attentive and courteous. She checked on us multiple times and refilled our waters. Throughput was also quick after ordering. Food: My go-to is the House Special or Beef. I decided to go with the Beef, mild, and rice. It came with a generous amount of protein, vegetables, and toppings. I also got rice in the side. Noodles and ramen cost extra. The soup base was very tasty with a nice kick to it. They also offered some specials like 50% off milk teas and happy hour during specific hours. Pricing: Don't forget to scan your BP points through the app. Prices have gone up over the years. It's worth it every once in a while.

    #4 Beef Hot Soup

    Came here craving something spicy, and this spot definitely delivered. My go-to order is the #4 Beef Hot Soup with medium spice, and I always recommend getting the beef upgrade. It's consistently good every time honestly hard to go wrong with it. The ambience is pretty average, nothing too special, but it gets the job done for a casual meal. Service was solid as well. The staff were friendly and kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good. I went when it wasn't too busy, which made the experience even smoother. Overall, a reliable spot when you're in the mood for something hot and spicy. Definitely worth checking out.

    I love boiling point! I came here quite often and stacked up a lot of reward points but I honestly have not come in so long. I think it's bc I can go to Broth Shabu down the street for roughly the same price and get ayce. Before you come for me, I know that one is Taiwanese and the other is japanese, so I'm aware they're diff cuisines but to me if I'm craving for a good soup/meal, I always consider quality and bang for buck. However, I came on my birthday because they offer a free small pot + drink for guests dining in. All you need to do is show proof with valid ID and it has to be redeemed on your actual birthday. My normal go-to is the #8 Taiwanese spicy! it's a large spicy pot with ramen noodles and lots of protein (beef, pork, and some seafood). But for birthdays, only small pots are included, so I opted for the #4 beef pot. This is a very popular choice, however it was my 1st time having it. Unlike the taiwanese, the beef pot allows you to choose your spice level- I chose mild (I was recovering from a stomach bug, so I wanted to play it safe) The beef pot is very similar to the taiwanese pot imo. It has vermicelli noodles, sliced beef, fish cakes, pork ball, and some seafood. The mild spice had a little kick but nothing too crazy. It also comes with a side of noodles or rice, I just rice. I honestly thought the small size wasn't going to be enough but I ended up not even finishing it and had the rest taken home. For my drink, I was recommended the assam black tea by my server. I very much enjoyed it! There was just the right amount of sweetness to it but you can also customize how sweet you want it too. Overall I really enjoy my meals here, the service is great, and the ambiance is not too loud. I'm so grateful that BP offers this birthday freebie, it's a nice way to treat ourselves on our special day!

    BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free hot pot & drink on your actual birthday Lunch orders include drink of choice Taiwanese Spicy- I am never ordering this againg! Mala (Hot)! As I've become older, my heat tolerance has slowly dwindled down from what it once was. Pondering between the Taiwanese Spicy & The Hot Green soup, I was told the Taiwanese Spicy cannot be adjusted for heat, but the Hot Green can. Believing I'm muy macho, and hearing from a fellow customer in line that her favorite is the Taiwanese Spicy, I figured I'd go for it. Yikes! My mouth immediately numbed and eating became a challenge. I had the staff add more broth to dilute, and it only slightly became less difficult to consume. The Taiwanese Spicy was good, loaded with protein. After finishing most of the ingredients sans broth & some vegetables, my mouth started find relief from the heat. Deciding upon having a couple spoonfuls of broth for the LOL's, I immediately felt the pain in my nose and starting coughing. Whew! Hokkaido boba milk tea & jasmine green tea- Lunch orderes come w/ drink of choice, and the birthday promo also includes a drink, hence two free drinks. I wish I could've said I savored these drinks, but I finished these right away, to alleviate some of the punishing burn from the broth. Refreshing, though. Service was excellent. Showing the staff my ID to show it was birthday, they were friendly, hospitable & quick with service. Boiling Point, you are locked in as my birthday destination spot for some nourishing hot pot action in the midst of the August heat wave. I wish I knew about BP's birthday promo sooner, as I would've taken advantage of this wonderful deal numerous times, already.

    Super duper good! Boiling point never disappoints , service is quick and easy!! It's not too crowded and we were greeted and sat right away

    We came here to celebrate my bf's birthday. They still offer the free birthday hot pot. I got the beef hot pot. Food still delicious. I love the winter melon tea. Service was good. We upgraded the tie with mince pork and extra side of beef. Overall, it's a nice way to celebrate a birthday.

    Lukewarm soup
    Jonathan B.

    Boiling Point? More like Lukewarm Point! We should have left when they told us they didn't have fire today and they'll cook the hotpots in the kitchen. The result was lukewarm/cold soup, crunchy noodles, and overall a sad experience. Soup was also overly salty and lacking flavor. Vibes were weird, but at least we still had a good time with friends!

    Easy eats hot pot in a strip mall. Was sat immediately for a weekday dinner. Place was clean - your typical boiling point. Took a bit to place an order and we were pretty hungry. Received our food - was pretty good. I drink a bit of water and needed to call the waiter back often for refills. Would come back for an easy soup.

    My Asian parents love coming here for special events!! I got the # 6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup with a mild spice level. The soup is served with a fire underneath, but you can ask if you want the fire turned off anytime. The soup was not too spicy, and it tasted great! There was plenty of meat and vegetables, and there are vermicelli noodles at the bottom that are easy to forget. I got my soup with a small bowl of rice, and it was the perfect amount to finish the soup. The employees are super kind and very attentive. We tried to put ourselves on the waiting list on the tablet in the front of the restaurant, and an employee noticed my sister and I and sat us right away. The employees and the trainee would constantly refill our waters, check in on us, and ask if we needed anything. They also said goodbye to us when we left. The restaurant is placed in a huge parking lot so there should be no trouble finding parking. The restaurant isn't very big, it's kind of small. However, the restaurant is very clean and bright. If you have family members that hate dark restaurants, bring them here. I would come here again and continue to order the # 6 Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup. It's just become my go-to order at Boiling Point

    It's been sooooo long since I've had BP. I always go to Ranch but didn't know this was even here. We went to eat on a Sunday around 7:30pm. No online waitlist so you just write your name and party size on the clipboard. It took us about 20 mins to get seated. Come early to skip the line, or grab boba nearby because it could take a while. There was a new flavor that came out. Talked to the waitress about it, tried it, and didn't like it. It's the green pepper one where it's ma la spicy. I hate that taste. I didn't ask to switch it out or anything, but what helped out was when the staff would come around and refill your broth. That helped dilute it and made it edible for me. Next time I'll order something else.

    #4 Beef Hot Soup with iced green tea (Lunch)
    Ashley V.

    My absolute go to restaurant for hot pot! I always go for the beef with a meat lover upgrade, as well as a side of spicy tangy beef. I love that there's a good mix of meat, vegetables, fish cakes, and noodles in the hot pot. Their spice levels are somewhat inconsistent each time you go, so I usually just opt for no spice and just add the chili oil myself. I love that when it's lunch hours, from 11am to 3pm, you can get a free green or black tea with each hot pot order. Otherwise, if I go for dinner, I get an amber oolong milk tea with boba. The milk tea itself is pretty light and creamy, which is perfect when paired with the beef hot pot. Service can be a hit or miss at this location. Lately, I've been going at night around 7 to 8 pm and this last visit took around 30 minutes before we got seated. There were at least 3 to 4 tables open around the 15 to 20 minute mark of waiting, but no server wanted to seat us just yet. I do appreciate that as soon as we got seated that a server asked us if we were ready to order. This time around, the food didn't take as long to come out-- maybe around less than 10 minutes. Sometimes, I personally have to flag down the servers for water refills or to turn off the fire for the hot pot. Other times, servers or trainees are consistently coming around to ask if anything is needed. I do wish that the service was a little more consistent, but coming from experience in the food industry, I understand that it can get busy at times. The ambiance is pretty nice with bright lights and good music. Sometimes, they play R&B, which I love. Overall, I would recommend boiling point to satisfy your hot pot cravings! The food and the drinks never miss!

    #1 House Special Hot Soup
    Siv S.

    I really liked what I got which was the house special. However I got it with veggie broth instead of the beef and it was delicious. It was very comforting on a cold night. They had sauces to help customize your soup. Service was pretty fast and food came out in a timely fashion. This place it pretty tight so it can be a little tough if your in a wheel chair or walker. The other thing that would be nice if they can set up a few chairs or a bench outside since everyone had to wait outside. It would be nice for the elderly as I saw some people waiting in their cars. Overall and felt the wait wasn't too long since service was fast.

    Do u have a private room for 12-15 people?

    They do not. The restaurant itself is not very large. Accommodating 12-15 in general might be difficult.

    Do you accept reservations?

    They do not accept reservations! They have a tablet in the front of the restaurant that you must check-in on to put yourself on the waiting list.

    Is this location open today (December 26, 2022? I called, but got a machine both times.

    Do u have outside seating? Are let's allowed?

    There's no outdoor seating. And pets are not allowed.

    Haven't been here for a while now. Do we need to make a reservation ahead? Or when we get there, do we just get a number?

    First come first serve, as I don't see a Yelp check in option. I went here on a Thursday around 7pm.. and the wait was about 1hr and 10 mins

    Been calling on 3 different days to place a phone order, but no answer. Are they closed?

    No they just suck at answering their phone

    Why isn't the prices on your website? Or did I just not see it? Is there a reason why?

    Prices are always being raised. Probably less work for them to not put a set price.

    What's time they openon weekend?

    We are open every day 11am-11pm!

    Can you eat by yourself here?

    Do they have the coupon like the stamp card?

    To my knowledge, no. I want to say they used to, but discontinued it quite a while back.

    Can you substitute the meat broth for veggie or miso broth for all the items?

    Hi Tasneem, You can choose from both beef and veggie broth for any of the hot soups, just let… 

    Hey maybe this is a stupid questions because I've never been.. but can you take it to go?

    Hi Jen, yes we offer to go orders!

    Can 2 people share a large pot?

    You technically can but it really wouldnt be enough food for 2 adults in my opinion

    Do they have a vegetarian broth option?

    They have a vegetable soup with clear broth. That is only option.

    What's their most popular item?

    Beef pot is their most popular one.

And prefer it over many other Asian cuisines.* The reason I chose M's Kitchen over two other Taiwanese restaurants in the area? So many more vegetable dishes! And wow, am I completely grateful I did! We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the server and chef were both in the kitchen. The server came over and gave us menus before getting our drink orders. She was prompt in a very caring manner without ever seeming rushed. She had lots of suggestions as we asked questions about the menu. At some point, the chef was sitting with us, and she asked him clarifying questions for us. She even went back into the kitchen to find out which vegetables were the freshest (which I appreciated)! We ordered a cup of ginseng and goji berry chicken soup, chicken cream corn soup (with egg), ong choy with garlic, walnut shrimp, crispy tofu, and green scallion pancake. As each dish came out, it felt like different instruments in an orchestra being highlighted as they wove into the tapestry of the music. The ong choy built onto the soup, the crispy tofu onto the ong choy and soup, and so on! Until there was this grand harmony of pulsating flavors and textures! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish! I only wish I had a bigger appetite so I could eat more and faster! The server helped us to pack the leftovers. We spoke about how traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food get lost in the mix of more modern and fusion recipes and restaurants. I am also a loving fan of mom and pop dining because it reminds me of the many meals I have been gifted by the parents of friends and friends who have opened their homes and hearths to feed and nourish me in my life. I love feeling like I am visiting someone's family and sharing a meal together. This is how M's Kitchen felt for me! I am planning how many meals I can have here and who I can invite to experience the deliciousness soon! Please consider visiting! Even if you haven't tried Taiwanese food yet, this is a wonderful spot to start with!

Sad to see that their last day is May 11th. Would highly recommend people to try before their last day. Our latest visit was during lunchtime on a weekday. We were greeted upon entering and were told to choose whichever table we wanted. We ordered a Wintermelon Tea, Fried Pork Chop Rice, and the Century Egg Tofu. Food and tea came out quickly. Everything was so good and felt like comfort food that family would make. The pork chop was seasoned well and came with a tea egg, and vegetable sides of broccoli and tomato as well as soup. The tomato side reminds me of this tomato egg that we eat often. The century egg tofu was delicious. The tofu had a great texture -- soft, creamy, but also dense. The sauce that it came with was sweet, salty, and garlicky. The century egg was good. The winter melon tea was light on ice, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Overall, giving Formosan Restaurant a 5/5. Wish we started coming here sooner. Staff are nice, service is quick, prices are great, and the food is delicious.

Still, it's nice to know this place remains a reliable go-to whenever I'm craving a good drink. One thing I really appreciate is how creative they are with their seasonal menu. It feels like there's always something new to try, and there is always a drink I want to try. This time, I ordered the seasonal High Mountain Paradise with 50% sugar and lychee jelly. It was absolutely delicious, and the 50% sugar level was perfect. It was just sweet enough to bring out the flavors without overpowering the tea itself. The mango and guava notes were a bit subtle, but they paired wonderfully with the delicate oolong tea, creating a refreshing and well balanced drink. The lychee jelly was also a great addition, adding a little extra texture and sweetness with every sip. I'd also say this jelly was softer than the typical jelly I've gotten, which I really liked. The shop can get pretty busy, probably because they really do offer a little bit of everything. Besides drinks, they have a food menu that seemed surprisingly popular during my visit. I saw plenty of people ordering snacks and meals, and everything coming out looked and smelled amazing. I'll definitely have to come back and try some of the food for myself next time. The space itself is on the smaller side, so finding a seat during peak hours can be a bit challenging. That said, they do offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which helps.

The satay hot pot was very good, we had enough to bring home and continue to enjoy the next day. I called it a "themed" restaurant because the store was originally modeled after an elementary school 3rd grade classroom, the chairs, tables, bulletin board and blackboard, even the menu is sort of what you might find at a school cafeteria (of course much more fancy), there is a nostalgic, cute feeling for those of us grew up in Taiwan.

Food is good and well portioned.. many of the dishes are shareable.. from what I saw from my neighbors. tables are school desks, it's cute.. we ordered shaved ice, and the flavors we had are subtle despite the numerous toppings. They were good but not exactly sweet, they look to be loaded with flavor but both of our very different desserts weren't sweet enough, idk the nutritional information but perhaps it is in the lighter side?? Don't get me wrong it was yummy just so subtle.

    Yummy Potstickers and Dumplings!…read more I got the 12 Signature Potstickers, 12 Signature Dumplings, and 2 Corn Chowders. Both the Signature Potstickers and Signature Dumplings have the same filling so I'm assuming it's the same if you were to order the Kimchi version. The Signature filling has a good amount of meat and veggies. I prefer the Potstickers because I found the crunchy texture better suited with the filling. The Corn Chowder was okay, it had corn and pork in it. It was simple so there wasn't anything bad or good about it. The employees are very kind and helpful! I asked the employee in the front if he preferred the Signature or Kimchi, and he told me he recommended the Signature first to try it out. I am now interested in trying out the Kimchi version too. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. There is seating indoor and outdoors, there are water cups near the register, and a sauce station on the left side of the counter. There's Sesame Oil, Black Vinegar, Garlic Sauce, and Soy Sauce. I prefer Garlic Sauce the best! The restaurant also gets pretty cold so maybe bring a light jacket. When I went to the restaurant, there was only one person in line ahead of me, and most people seem to order take out. I would come here again to try out the noodles and the Kimchi potstickers!!

    Need something quick on a lunch break but still craving dumplings? Bafang Dumpling checks every…read morebox. The pork chop with braised beef belly rice is truly the best of both worlds -- crispy, golden pork chop layered over fluffy steamed rice that's soaked in the rich, buttery-savory goodness of braised pork belly. The cucumber salad and pickled mustard greens cut through everything with the perfect touch of freshness and tang. And it even comes with a free fountain drink? That's a win. Of course, I had to add the spicy wontons because when that craving hits, you answer it. They're juicy, flavorful, and bring just the right level of heat to keep things exciting. Service is impressively fast, the interior is cute and serene, and the team is incredibly courteous. Special shoutout to Enoch for making the visit even better. Quick, satisfying, and worth the stop every time.

    This isn't your typical "roll around cart" dim sum spot but it sure was tasty! The interior was…read morevery bright, modern, and beautiful. Not to mention very clean! When you order, you'll check mark the menu they have ( with pictures might I add ! ) and they'll come pick it up and bring out your order fresh and pipin' hot. We came on a busy day with plenty of people ahead of us in line, but because of the fast service we got in surprisingly quick. Although they were busy, every time we needed something they would bring it out right away but this is not the place where they would come check on you every so often. They know what they're doing and they do it efficiently. Here is a few must try items that we all loved! - Egg Tart - Scallop w/ Shrimp Dumpling - Fish w/ Sausage Balls - Fried Golden Shrimp Balls Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a good dim sum spot !

    Strip mall dim sum…read more I guess don't judge this place into you step in and try it. When I walked in and saw the outside I was wondering why my friends choose this place, it looked from the outside like a small shop, but when I walked in it was way bigger and authentic. Jokes on me. Ordered a bunch of dim sum dishes, everything came out quickly. They even have dessert samples in the front. In San Francisco they would never have dessert samples at a dim sum place so that was a plus for our group. Tea is around $5 a pot. Potstickers were a hit and so was the beef chow fun. Those were 5/5 The beef jook is a skip, kind of tasted runny like powder and no real flavor with weird small bits of beef that looked like bacon bits. 2/10 Other than that the dim sum was solid amd came out hot and fresh. Same with the Chinese broccoli. Skip the lemon iced tea. Tasted like it was from a packet and it was horrible. 0/10 Would definitely come back for their dim sum though.
