Love boiling point. Have gone here more times then I can count and every time the service, ambiance, and food is amazing. It's a great place to go on a cold day or whenever you want a quick, sit down meal. The wait can get pretty long as the restaurant is small, so definitely keep that in mind! read more

We had just come back from the Gorge and were craving something soupy, and this truly hit the spot. We got sat down right away in a clean and casual vibe, and the service was fast! Our waitress was also very nice and provided us with green tea or winter melon tea for free. I got the beef hot pot, and I pretty much finished the whole thing because it was SO GOOD. I'm still thinking about it. read more

I reached a point of real frustration after waiting 30 minutes. We were next to sit on the waitlist when a group (work employee friend) walked in, and employees seated them immediately--even though they hadn't signed in or added their name. Please honor your waitlist process consistently. If seating is based on a first‑come, first‑served system, it should be applied fairly. I hope this is handled better in the future. Don't come here. read more

Loved they had a BOGO special for milk tea. You must get two of the same kind. The lamb was our favorite pot! The parking is always a challenge and small spots. There is an iPad to put yourself on a wait list. Small space but great service. read more

Yummy hot pot right in Bellevue, a small but cozy hot pot spot. Really like it. Everything was quick and exact. The portion is also big not as some cheap place where they give u just a little of foods. Drinks r also decent, not great tho. However, the CS is real nice. They do take care of their customers even if they go alone or w folks. Super recommended! Trust me u wont regret! read more

We came in about 5-10 minutes after opening excited for some boiling point but we weren't even there for more than 1 minute before we had to leave. There was a strong smell of pee and other unpleasant scents that made it unbearable to be in the restaurant. read more

Delicious individual pot hotpot place! They have about 10 different soup bases to choose from and the price is on point! We went for lunch and each pot cost less than $20. On top of that, we got a free sweetened iced tea drink! There is usually a wait- we waited about 1+ hr for 3 of us. They require you to be there to add your name on the waitlist. read more

Boiling Point is a chain in California and Washington states that specializes in preset hotpot meals. They have a few preset options you can choose from, and you can customize to change the type of meat. We didn't make any customizations. There are 4 sauce options to add to your own hotpot; we loved the garlic sauces. It ran out, and the waiter brought us more very quickly. We ordered the: Lamb Beef Milk Cream Curry Honey Green Milk Tea Old Time Delight Milk Tea I liked the presentation of the mini woks and personal stove, and the stamped I love BP fishcake, but everything arriving fully cooked would not be my preference for hotpot. More specifically, the meats in the hotpots came out already fully cooked; personally, I would argue that they were already over cooked. Then they relight the pots again, so they get even more cooked. But you can't put the fires out too early, because the pot is already full and you have an extra side of vermicelli to add in (or if you chose rice as your side instead, you could). The milk teas can have their sugar adjusted to either 75/80% or 50%. The 50% is far too sweet still. Tastes extremely fake. The boba balls itself were quite good. There is a decent wait for dinner. We waited around 30-45 minutes after checking in at the iPad. It might've even been longer if you're not vigilant, because instead of calling out our number on the microphone or texting, they asked a group of boys waiting in the store if their number was [our number], and they eagerly said yes! And she almost led them to our table. Luckily, I was inside just checking on the iPad when I happened to overhear. The boys snickered to themselves and almost seemed proud they were about to cut the line. That interaction is definitely more on the customers than on the restaurant, but please check text confirmations next time. There is lot of free parking available in the complex. read more

Milk Cream Curry is my personal favorite. The flavor and taste along with sliced potatoes and all of the other ingredients are the perfect combination. Service was fast and attentive. Free iced green or black tea with each hot pot during lunch. Really hits the spot especially being a bit under the weather. This location is smaller than Tukwila, but equally delicious and better service. read more

Krystal was very rude and rolled her eyes at me when all I asked her was if the tea was supposed to taste bland compared to my friends' teas. After I asked, she just grabbed it and left. She continued to be rude to one of her trainees as well, which she should be a role model and be aware that they are trying instead of just saying "What did you do." One thing that was good was the food, but besides that, the service (specifically her) was bad. read more

They decreased meat and increased FATS. Waste of money who will pay for fats? Any location same. If they don't put more meat they should decrease price of soup! read more

Note: this place always has a wait (sometimes up to an hour!) so if you are on the line of going, you should join the waitlist in store first!! Boiling point is one of those unique restaurants you go to when you want to go to hotpot but your friends all like something different or have dietary restrictions. They have a set list of 10 hotpot's you can select from, as well as a side menu. Their food is good, it's fun to see the flames boiling your food as you eat - and you're ensured a hot meal the entire time. For being hotpot and eating your fill (I almost always have leftovers from here), it's a very reasonable price (being less than $20 each person). And if you go during lunch, you also get some free tea to go along with it! My favorite pot so far has been the cream curry hot pot. The broth is so flavorful and contains such good ingredients - it works so well with a nice bowl of rice! read more

As usual, the flavor at Boiling Point is on point! We went for the special that came with a free drink and appetizer, but was a bit disappointed to learn that the offer was only available for one per table. We got the Korean bean paste, beef, and lamb hot pot, and all were really good packed with flavor and perfectly satisfying. The food is plentiful, and they're generous with refills of soup stock, which is always a plus. If you're not accustomed to spicy food, I'd recommend sticking with the mild option because the spice level can definitely get pretty intense. The Winter Melon drink had a strong flavor, though it was a bit on the sweeter side for my taste, but it still hit the spot. Overall, it's a solid experience with great flavors and hearty portions. read more

They have a promotion posted on Yelp and Little Red Book that would give you a free hot soup when buying $50 gift card which says to be valid in whole october 2025, they refuse to honor that promotion and said it ends last week when we go to their resturaunt (and after 50 minutes waiting). This should be illegal. read more

Be prepared for a wait at prime dinner hours. They have a waitlist that will test you when the table is almost ready, but you have to join it in person, first come first serve. The service is fast though, so go ahead and look at the menu before hand so you can make a quick decision. There's a lot of different soups that come with a pre-assortment of ingredients, so you don't have to spend too much time ordering and cooking like in traditional hot pot. They bring the personal wok to you and light the flame, and you can ask to have them put it out anytime you want. I usually don't finish the food and have enough leftovers to take home. The drinks look kinda nice, I want to try them some day. read more

good Taiwanese hot pot, tasty and convenient way to have a protein and veggie packed meal without necessarily carboloading. This location is the worst of all in the Seattle area - long wait times, the soups are usually a little watery, and the service is the worst: borderline rude servers, inattentive, and they will always forget to bring out the rice together with the pot until you ask a few times. We always choose to go to the Redmond, Seattle, or Tukwila location instead read more

we go here so many times a week it must be unhealthy but this is a classic hot pot restaurant go-to lol. I never wrote a review for BP but wanted to give a shout-out to Dawei who was our waiter. we came in really close to lunch like minutes from 3pm and asked if we could order immediately and he rushed to get the order in LOL thanks so much!! we love that he matched our urgency and helped us out. 10/10 service read more

Ordered the Green Summer special with the additional $3 plum tea. The tea was not good. Tasted like a Korean acupuncture medicine (hanyak)- barely finished a couple sips. Onto the hot pot. Broth was good- and full of seasonal items- tripe, duck feet (I didnt see any in mine.) noodles, and so much more. Three stars because the staff kept bumping into my hair as they were walking behind me. Once is ok, but over and over- they need to watch where they are going... Hopefully it will be better next time. read more

I love going to Boiling Point! For the appetizer, I share the spicy cumin lamb with my boyfriend. My favorite is the beef pot and I love getting the fish balls as an add on. I think medium is the perfect spice level for me as someone who loves spice. When I'm craving more intense spice, I get the Taiwanese Spicy pot. It's REALLY spicy, so I don't recommend it to anyone with a low spice tolerance. It was really busy, but we got in pretty quickly since we were a party of 2. I can imagine it's a longer wait for larger parties. It's a bit hard to get the staff's attention when you need a refill on the soup base, water, or sauces. read more

This was my first time going to a Boling Point and it definitely did not disappoint! The food itself was amazing and they have different sauce bars/condiments on the table as well for those who like their food extra spicy or more garlicky flavor! Personally, I ordered the milk cream curry and it turned out just like what I expected! I love how all the ingredients just blends in together with the curry flavor resulting in a very creamy-like flavor texture of the soup. The place itself is pretty small so try not to go on big groups, but the service was amazing! We came in a pretty big group of 6 people and they tried their best to make sure that we are all seated together and had fun. Parking was also not a problem since it is away from downtown Bellevue and is part of a city center where there is a bunch of free parking. read more

Overall: Absolutely impressed with their safety precaution measures and their service! Location: It's located near Bellevue Square with other markets and restaurants nearby that can take up the limited number of parking spots. I have been to this plaza before and let's just say, you have to get really lucky with parking when it gets busy. Service and Safety Precaution Measures: I cannot speak about other Boiling Point locations, but this location made me feel safe dining in again. They have an iPad that you add your name to the waiting list and they will text you once your table was ready which is really nice so we didn't have to wait inside. Once your table is ready, they ask you to sanitize your hand before sitting down. Unlike many restaurants, they actually spray and wipe down both the table and chairs. What was really impressive is they also apply a bit of sanitizer on your credit card before handing it back to you! read more

Food (1/5): My boyfriend and I both ordered the beef, with medium and mild spicy respectively. The food presentation was very aesthetic, but that was the only good thing. Although I am usually okay with mild at other restaurants, this mild had quite a bit of a kicker. The broth was very very watered down, so the only flavor in the broth (and thus also the food) was the spice. I thought this might be because my spice tolerance isn't the highest, but even my boyfriend who has higher spice tolerance said he couldn't taste depth of flavor. Service (4/5): We got there at around 5:15 pm on a Sunday and was able to sit down in 15 minutes. Ambiance (3/5): There was grease everywhere, and the tables felt a bit sticky. The bathroom was also very dirty. Overall (1.5/5): I used to like Boiling Point, but I've noticed that it has gotten worse this past year at the ID location. I decided to give this location a try, and it disappointed me as well. At both, the food was just so bland, and the restaurants were not very cleanly. I don't think I'll be going back to Boiling Point anymore. read more

New changes! Double meat and AYCE rice. But the prices have gone up. I wish they were more transparent with the price increase but they only advertise the double meat and ayce rice. Although, I think I prefer a little bit of price increase and double meat than a place just decreasing the portion with the same price. I do feel like you get your money's worth! You literally get so much meat!! Service was great and we got seated right away, right before the dinner rush. The dining room is small, but from my past experiences, the wait time is still reasonable. Esp in comparison to the Tukwila location. read more

Come try the Milk Cream Curry. It's seriously a game changer. Boiling Point is not your typical hot pot place since it's personal hot pots which come out pre-cooked. You miss out on the fun family vibes which come with cooking and eating a family-sized hot pot with your friends, but I don't really mind since I just love the milk cream curry haha. The milk cream curry is just a good blend of spice and cream for me, and I enjoy pretty much all of the included ingredients (sliced pork, potato, fried tofu skin, napa cabbage, enoki mushroom, and more). I've honestly never ordered any other hot pot option here. The garlic bean paste is also a fantastic dipping sauce. I'll also mention that I actually really like the pudding sweet milk boba drink here. It's very sweet, but for some reason, I like it more than your typical overly-sweet drink from a place like Happy Lemon. Two things to note: 1) The wait is always pretty bad. I feel like I almost always wait like a half hour whenever I come. This is mostly because the restaurant itself is very small. I would recommend getting on the waitlist as soon as possible when you arrive. 2) The spice here is no joke. I would say I have above average spice tolerance and I remember their level 4 (out of 5) was still enjoyable but close to my limit. I usually go with level 3 whenever I come. But yea try the milk cream curry. I think my friend tried beef when he came the first time and was not impressed. After getting the milk cream curry, that's the only thing he orders now as well haha. read more

Boiling Point - Milk Cream Curry (try it! It's sooo good) - Taiwanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Food is great but it's so overpriced now! 2 hot pots for lunch ran us close to $50. It's insane. Amount of beef was a lot less than before too. Shrinkflation is real :( read more

The server named （Krystal） had a poor attitude and was visibly rolling her eyes at us. I should've just left her no tip.

What happened? Price increased and the beef quality dropped to way below par. The beef is MOSTLY fat, super low quality compared to just 6 months ago. Unacceptable. Until they improve the quality I won't be back again. read more

I came here on a Monday evening at 6pm and there was no wait for a party of two. There is some parking in the parking lot out front. For those who have been to Boiling Point before, this is just your typical Boiling Point. For those who have never been before (my friend was a first-timer!) it's your personal hot pot. There are different types of toppings varying from beef to lamb to curry. I ordered the beef hot soup ($15.50) in mild spice and it was good. You can choose your spice level but they also have some sauces on the tables that you can put in or use as a dipping sauce. It seems like a lot of food but a lot of it is vegetables and the hot soup will make you feel a lot more full than you are (or am I just a fatty?). The bowl comes with your choice of rice or noodles but the soup also has some noodles already inside. The bowl comes out super hot and they light the flame underneath to let it boil but it's already pretty hot when it comes out so I recommend waiting a couple minutes to let it cool or even pick out some food and put it on your rice (or noodles) to let them cool a bit before eating. Personally I'd much rather spend a little more money for AYCE hot pot because I know I'll be full at the end of it, but Boiling Point is a good place to go for soup on a cold Seattle day. read more

Long wait 40min in a cold dinner time on Thursday. Bellevue location has better customer service than ID one.

- Lame policy on no-show - I went there as a group of 6, waited forever. Finally it's about our term and a table for 4 is emptied up, so the waiter told me they'll save that table for me. Then they sat the guy after us down to another table of 4 at the side. We're simply waiting for the two groups of two (well, either one of them would work) to finish eating, so all of us can sit down. But nope. After 10 minutes, the group before us showed up and they put them on the table that's suppose to be reserved for us. Why? Because they're ahead of us. What is the stupid policy on no-show? What is the point of no-show? They called the number 3 times, and they never showed up. Then they can still claim the table? Honestly, don't consider coming to this place if you have a group larger than 4. Or expect a wait time of 1 hour plus, not to mention it wasn't even that busy on Sunday night. read more

Love boiling point! If you go at dinner time or on the weekend be prepared to wait 60-90 minutes, I'm not even joking. This loc is super small & always packed. But you can put your # down and get a text when ready. Quick service & always tastes good. I come all the time! read more

I came here around 5:30 on a Tuesday night and the place was practically empty. I was seated immediately, and as I ate my meal, the restaurant filled up and there was eventually a constant line waiting for a table for the second half of my meal. Boiling Point isn't what I typically think of when I think of hot pot. While your food is served in a hot pot, set on top of an open flame, the food is basically cooked when the pot is set down in front of you. While there are add-ons available to the bowls for an additional cost, they are mostly pre-set. I ordered the mushroom bowl, which was filled with various types of mushrooms and vegetables. The level of spice of the soup can't be changed for this bowl (they only use a vegetable broth) so it only comes with mild (un-spicy) soup. I ended up adding some garlic soy sauce to the bowl to add some flavor, and the bowl was flavorful and filling. I didn't like enough of the bowl options to be intrigued enough to come back, but this would be a good first time experience and introduction to hot pot for those who haven't tried it before. For others like me, you might be better off going somewhere where you can order your items a la carte or finding an AYCE with more options. read more

I've been to Boiling Point many times but recently had my best dining experience at this location! The food here was delicious and it was paired with some great service. I had the spicy cumin lamb appetizer and the Taiwanese spicy. The lamb was surprisingly really good! I usually don't dabble the appetizers here but I'll definitely be getting the lamb every time, it has a delicious sauce that I'm a huge fan of. The Taiwanese spicy is very very spicy. I'd only recommend this to anyone who can actually handle top tier spice. It'll also leave a hurting on your stomach afterwards but it's definitely worth it. The broth flavor is delicious and portion size will definitely fill you up as it's one of the only large options. I love spicy foods and so the Taiwanese spicy is my favorite order on the menu. The service here was much better than most BPs I've been to. They worked fast and water was constantly being refilled. They have a shared parking lot but the spots are really tight so be careful. The restaurant itself is on the small side so keep that in mind if you have a larger party. read more

Food was straight gas. We got the lamb and beef along with milk green teas, and lord I could barely drive home after. Will definitely be back for more. Took 1 star off because we had to wait 40 minutes, and another star since the only way you can get the Bogo deal is if u order on the app. This would have been fine, but we were not told this, and they refused to honor the deal in the end. read more

Much has changed in the 12 years since I wrote this review. I've warmed up to this style of hot pot, which can be really nice. They have several locations now. Also, I think they've mostly dispensed with the trucker hats, which is a plus :) read more

As far as service goes, this location is the BEST. My biggest gripe with Boiling Point is that the workers literally go out of their way to avoid eye contact with you during busy times at the ID ans Tukwila location... super annoying bc you can't turn off the fire yourself and the soup starts burning if you wait too long. Not the case here. Maybe it's because of the limited capacity, but they were super quick, friendly, and attentive. As always, I recommend the drinks here which are underrated... especially the Matcha Got Milk! read more
