Amanda C.

I have been to several boiling point locations, particularly in the OC. I understand why the reviews in this location is not the greatest, but wanted to give it a try. I arrived & plenty of parking spots and place was packed with customers. The wait was quick within a 2 min time frame and they directed me to our table. I don't think they knew I sat before the other customers arrived after me and they took their order. Had to flag a staff member down and they took my order. Food arrived and order the beef small pot with white rice. It was very hot and delicious. Overall 4/5. They need to improve on service and making sure customer are well taken care of.

Came here around 8:50 PM, knowing they close at 9:30. Walked in and asked to be put on the waitlist, and the worker (I believe her name was Truong) told us it was a 45-minute wait... meanwhile there were at least 4 empty tables clearly visible. We didn't argue and decided to just order to-go instead. While waiting (about 20 minutes), not a single one of those empty tables got sat. Then another couple walked in, asked about the waitlist, and I told them what I was told--that they weren't taking any more people. But they asked anyway... and somehow got seated right away. That made zero sense. Either there was space or there wasn't--why tell some customers no and seat others? Super inconsistent and honestly frustrating service. If you're closing soon, just be upfront instead of giving random wait times and picking who gets seated.

My faveeee comfort food!!! I love you forever BP. My go to is the medium beef & rice. Fave drink is Lychee green tea! I miss their classic black tea though ): The tangy beef appetizer is great as well. The service isn't necessarily outstanding, but always fast and attentive. I love how they give free soup refills. I feel like the wait time isn't that as bad as before, but I might just be going on off hours. I'll always crave BP whenever wherever : D

Pot

There is a bug in my pot be careful with their food. I found it while I finished half pot. Very disgusting.

Rotten veggies, I'd rather not have any... Wouldn't you?
C C.

Rotten veggies... Again. Years ago I stopped going there because bp would give me cilantro that was rotten, probably because they were running out. Since then, a couple of years later, i have them a chance and went back. The first time was good, so a week later I went back. Rotten veggies, lots of them directly in the pot, not yet submersed so it's clearly rotten. To the staff's credit, when I called their attention to this, they immediately apologized and told me they'd replace the veggies. The replacements were better, but not up to par. C'mon, this is not a cheap plate, and if you're really out of a certain veggie, I'm sure you can offer a substitute instead of two-week old stuff. (It maybe your fridge is too cold).

Boiling point is one of my favorites to go to. I enjoy all their hot pots. I wouldn't say it's the bestttt quality but it does get my hot pots fix. Service is amazing too. I feel like the staff here is so kind and attentive to everything I need. It's always busy but tables don't take long to clear up. I think I come like every 2 weeks. If it's not this location, it's another One thing I'd improve on is their points system. It's a little confusing but that's but a huge issue.

This location is just ok it's the closest one to us coming from Riverside it's fairly clean and the service has gotten slightly better

Mild beef hot pot with side vermicelli
Jenny N.

What's better to have on a cold night other than Boiling Point? We came here right after we went grocery shopping at 99 ranch supermarket around 9:15pm. Thank goodness there was no wait when we got there. Boiling point is located in the same plaza as Meet Fresh, and other restaurants, and Costco. It wasn't that bad looking for a parking space at night. I don't know how it is during the day. I ordered my usual mild flavored beef hot pot with a side of their vermicelli, and for the drink I'm so used to getting their iced green tea. Mild flavored hot pot definitely has a kick to it. So if you don't usually eat spicy I would recommend getting no spice. I like how their side vermicelli is now in a bag instead of them bringing it out in the open in the bowl. We decided to order their beef bowl with rice and an appetizer (spicy tangy beef). The beef in the beef bowl tasted like beef jerky, not sure if that's how it should be made. As for the appetizer, I feel like they took the beef from my hot pot and poured some spicy tangy oil over it. So nothing to rave about. Service was on point perhaps because they were not that busy. Waiter took the orders and the food came out soon after. I like the fact that they refilled my broth more than once and I didn't have to ask for it. Soon after we got our food the restaurant started to get busy. I always seem to bring the crowd to every restaurant I go to.

Beef (front) & Thai Tomato (back)
James C.

Boiling Point has been around for a while and has always been consistent with their hot pots and flavors. I heard that most of the ingredients are pre-packaged so that could be part of the reason. I like coming here for their Beef Hot Pot. It has a good portion of meat and veggies, and you get to choose from a side of rice or noodles. There are already noodles that come with this pot, so you'll just get extra of the same thing. The spiciness is just right too!

Good comfort food in chino area. Service/employees are nice, hot pot size sauce is good as usual.

Thai tomato hot pot
Congchua P.

Small space, good hot pot. They took the thai tomato off a while ago but they added back I'm so happy.

Xiomara M.

First time here and we were skeptical about some reviews but we stuck it out because there were three pregnant women waiting in line so it must be goood !! Yes wait was a while but worth it! Service was GREAT! I read a lot of bad reviews on the service but Chenka was so helpful and so nice. Give that man a raise !!! 10/10. The food was also delicious! I looked like a pregnant girl rolling out of there! Ya'll that say no flavor put some of the little three sauces they have there duhhhhh. Add it in the soup ! Be your own sauce bae.

My sister don't eat beef. She want to eat seafood&tofu hotpot. Can she ask for veggie broth for her seafood&tofu hotpot?

Yes, they do have veggie options.

Do they take reservations?

No You need to go there and start your waiting list in the restaurant

Do they have gluten free soups?

Do they pick up phone calls? I have tried multiple times different days and I have no one picking up :(

They don't answer calls most of the time due to short staffed since the beginning of the pandemic and they only accept cash.

Can any one confirm hours tonight for NYE? Thanks. Phone line keeps sending me to voicemail, no one picks up.

Trying to call in for an order and no one is picking up. Are they open?

Yes they are open!

Are there any special deals as of now and what's the best way to eat it to go?

$5 off $15 or more

Can you order an actual order to go instead of the BP fresh? For example the house special or beef? If so how would a to go order work?

Yes you can order to go, but I don't recommend it. It is better to eat at the place. The reason is when you order to go, they put everything in a container for you. Everything that would be in the mini wok will be in that container. By the time you… Read more

Is their customer service good? 🤔

Yeah for the most part

What time does their lunch price end?

I believe it ends at 3PM

Would you say that one hotpot is shareable between 2 people?

Yes! I love one all to myself but there's enough to share between 2 people. You can always get more add ons for the pot if it's not enough!

Just last weekend I tried one from Tasty House in Chino hills by 99 ranch, and BD cafe's version is by far the superior dish! The meat was perfectly marinated with flavor, juicy and tender to bite. The recommended thick noodles are chewy and has the perfect amount of Q. I was recommended the spicy version and boy was it just the right amount. Not for the faint of heart but not intolerable. It came with the side of "salted vegetables" for ultimate authenticity. Only thing I would say is I wish the salted vegetables are bigger pieces for more chewy goodness. The waitress was also very honest with me and not trying to make a sale like other wait staff often does. When I wanted to order spicy wontons, she looked at me with a questionable stare. I am a direct person so I asked what's on her mind. She suspected I wouldn't have room to eat the wontons with the hefty noodle soup, and she was right. 1 hour later, I am still sitting on the couch at home feeling full! Furthermore, I ordered the vegetarian radish cake and they gave it to me for free since they only had 2 slices instead of 3. The wait staff is honest and down to Earth, and really reminds me of myself and brings me pride to be a true Taiwanese. The Taiwanese tv playing in the background adds to the ambiance! Lastly, my curiosity got the best of me and I asked what's BD stand for. The waitress simply said 便當, or bento in mandarin. The food is great and it's gonna be a new favorite for me when I come visit!

I had ordered vermicelli instead of rice. If you are hungry, you should order a bowl of rice instead of vermicelli. You have a choice of spicy level.

With a large parking lot calming any worries of finding parking, the shop is located at the front of the curb and even easier to spot given the Hanlin sign in black font hovering among the other establishments. The entrance is very open with an IG friendly bench below a neon sign to the right and a shining white counter sitting in front of you. It's easy finding a seat among the chairs that litter the space, especially by an outlet for all your devices. It was honestly surprising to find this almost being a cyber cafe as most other coffee shops, milk tea shops and others because they have a lot more considerations and food options to choose from. Especially being guided by the staff immediately upon the question of, "Have you been here before?" No! I haven't but I appreciated the fact that the service here is all about what is the best, what to expect and how to make the experience as smooth as possible. Thankfully it is easy finding something you'd like within the vast menu. Not to mention you'd also like the fact that everything is priced pretty average compared to most places around the area. It's still surprisingly to me finding a Taiwanese restaurant around this area but that's something that you come for especially price for price and pound for pound when it comes to portion and taste. Speaking of taste! The plum juice with boba was a good balance but lets not forget plum is definitely a certain bittersweet taste profile that isn't often enjoyed. It's a good reminder that you're having a subtle and healthy, fruity drink and still pairing it with the sweetness of boba. Now pair it with a small eats such as the popcorn chicken! Crispy basil residing in all the frizzled and well seasoned chicken and not to mention how juicy and tender the chicken is!
