#2 Seafood & Tofu Hot Soup
Nhi T.

I came here on a Thursday night around 8 pm. Typically we don't go to boiling point because there's usually a long wait. We put ourselves on the waitlist and it only took about 15 minutes before we got seated. You scan a QR code for the menu. There was a milk tea deal for 50% off from 3 pm-closing. I got the seafood and hot tofu soup, mild. It was fine, but I recall when I've had this at other boiling points previously, it came with a small baby octopus and fish balls filled with roe or something, which they didn't have either of these this time. I got the Cha jelly milk tea as part of the 50% off milk tea deal. I liked this drink as it didn't have a strong tea flavor and the jelly added some texture to the drink. Relatively smaller location compared to Garden Grove and Irvine.

It's Friday and it's lunchtime me and a good friend decided let's find a good place to eat. That's a little different than our Friday and usual Korean barbecue so we found this place the one and only boiling point in Gardena getting there was not too bad coming from the 91 freeway just right off of Western Avenue getting into the parking area and where the food is really off the street so you gotta go through the side driveway to get to the parking lot in the back. After you find parking, you'll find the entrance to boiling point double doors and you'll be greeted with the waiter or waitress and you can see the number of tables in front of you. It's just a long narrow hallway with both seating on on both side of the wall and the cash register and food area is to your left. I count roughly about 1415 tables that can seat up two pairs of two with front to back enough room to put two hot pot stove with a little bit of room in between for a bowl of rice or noodle. The establishment is not fancy, but it is lively and average noise. It is perfect for a couple or a pair but anything bigger than that you might as well find a different boiling point or a restaurant altogether definitely recommending for smaller groups of twos separated by tables and I highly recommend getting there if you want for lunchtime right after 11 AM we got there roughly around 11:38 AM and there was only two tables of seating up to two left. I have not been to this particular one, but I am going to recommend it because it is just fantastic. Boiling point does not disappoint. I guess another way of saying that is highly recommending boiling point. It is the best if not the best. Well, I tried the Taiwanese spicy soup that has combination of all the inner my buddy got the typical beef soup with medium spice. All I can really say is the food and soup is phenomenal. I'm talking about it can literally make you be full and a good feeling of being full with good food combination of noodles, vegetables, proteins, and a little kick of spice or you can add a little bit more since they have side sauces for you to use. I am highly recommending this place. Lastly the staff hair is always helping you making sure you are satisfy and meet all your needs. The lovely Sammi was always a tentative to our table ensuring we have what we need. Making sure if we needed more fire or more soup it was just awesome.

Boiling Point prices have definitely gone up in recent years. It's still delicious and satisfies your hot point cravings. It's relatively clean, when you come in you can waitlist on the iPad or they'll have a QR code for you to scan This BP location is in a very busy plaza with lots of dining options. I'd recommend coming before 6pm if you don't want to wait long. We always come before 6 since it's easy to park and we never have to wait more than 15 mins to get a table. Come later, parking can be a pain to find in the plaza and the waits become much longer. It's also one of the smaller BP locations I've been too. One downside to this location is probably the slow-ish service. Mainly in that, you really have to get their attention for anything (ordering, water, napkins, check, etc.). They're not proactive with the service, but when you do ask for something, they do it right away. Sometimes I'll see a table left alone without be cleaned for a while. Reminder - you can ask them to turn off your flame if it's too hot for you, ask for more flame if it's dying out or ask for more broth if you're running low. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of their options, it's really a matter of what you're craving and levels of spice. Each order comes with rice or vermicelli. You'll get a good mix of carbs, veggies, proteins. Safe options would be the beef since the house has stinky tofu that can take over the dish If you're not a fan of stinky tofu. I like stinky tofu, but not in their broth Other favorites of mine are the milk cream curry and lamb. Sometimes, they'll have a pomelo one as well and that's pretty good. I don't usually get a large options, but miso is good and if you like spicy, try the Taiwanese spicy. It's a blast. Overall a good BP location and the closest one for me to visit.

Taiwanese Spicy minus blood and intestines
Ali I.

Boiling point is always satisfying when you are craving soup. Not too many places in the Southbay you can get Taiwanese/hot pot style soups so this is def a gem. If there are items in the soup you don't want you can just ask them to take them out. It does get busy so I always try to go during off times. Never has been an issue for me. Seats are super hard so I brought in my donut pillow lol. I haven't been here in years but most recently I got their Taiwanese Spicy. Comes in a large size and I def had leftovers. Spicy wise it is pretty spicy but if you like spicy food you'll be fine. If you're a medium spicy person it will prob be too spicy for you. I added more of their chili sauces for flavor. Usually I don't order drinks but I got a winter melon tea and the iced sweet drink paired well with the spicy soup.

Beef, no spice, with noodles and winter melon tea
Karen S.

As always, a visit here is a must when we're in town! Yes. The line and wait is long. Ah, as long as you have time, it's worth the wait! Had the beef (no spice) with extra cilantro. Used all the sauces except the chili, so there was a slight kick but not too much;)! Managed to almost finish my whole pot! Cheryl did the best at cleaning up her hot pot, I was second, and Jeni had to leave some in her pot unfinished. We were so stuffed we could barely breathe, ha ha! We chose noodles over rice, which comes pre packed ! They chose green tea and I chose the winter melon tea. Yum!!! Great service, great staff teamwork on moving guests through their dining experience so others may also enjoy, and their restroom is clean, spacious and bright. (Careful, the door is heavy...) Thanks again and we'll be back! Oh, they have a summer bowl special with Lu Wei appetizer. Do check that out!

Cassie D.

Yes, in summertime we still eat hot soup. Lol My husband and I arrived about 10-15 minutes early and were second in line. Fernando, who was working that day, was so nice and offered to add our name to the list right away--I really appreciated that because not all places do this. Some restaurants make you feel like you're a bother if you show up early, but here we felt welcomed. The food was excellent! I ordered the Miso and my husband had the Curry. We also tried the Garlic Pork appetizer, which was delicious. The portions were very generous--we both ended up asking for to-go bowls. We also signed up for the rewards program, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back. Overall, an awesome place with great food and friendly service!

Lazy order assembler
Cody M.

No garlic soy sauce no chopsticks no spoons we ordered 2 orders with 2 rice and given 1 small one. If you guys are us, will you eat these 2 orders sharing 1 small rice, wrong sauce, and eat by hands right? Let me see you guys eating soup with your hands. Your logic is cal tech ivy league class! Thank you for fulfilling very simple orders guys! Much appreciated!

Lunch special (one entree and a drink), also got a side via influencer promo code
Luke B.

Pretty small location, so it gets busy fast. Expect to wait during the dinner rush. Lunch is probably the best time to go due to less crowds plus their lunch special is a good deal. Food is decent. When it gets busy you have to hunt down the staff and ask if you want your flame turned off or your water refilled. Otherwise they're super friendly.

#9 Japanese Miso Hot Soup with very little spice
Clara P.

We love this BP location and that discovered that it's not too busy for weekday dinners as I had feared. I usually came for lunch and it's been crowded, but just before 6, it was ok, which was a relief since I had the kids in tow. They excel at satisfying the spicy craving, and everyone knows that already. But this time, I needed the not spicy to feed 2 yr old, and the beef at no spicy level was perfectly good for her, and still very delicious for me as well. We also got the miso which had just a hint of spicy oil and my 7 yr old liked it along with the beef. They have a whole set of condiments at every table so adults can always add or dip as desired if you are sharing with kids. They also had tiny udon bowls for free for kids, which was a good side for toddler, though she mostly liked my hot pot better. But just very nice when a restaurant is willing to accommodate the parents in any way. Had no idea how hard it is to eat out with little ones until I had them LOL. I also tried the mango aloe vera drink and it was delectable! It had big chunks of aloe and wasn't too sweet so it didn't interfere with dinner. The staff was quick and friendly, we got everything we needed, without delay. Thanks BP, we had a good birthday dinner.

#4 Beef Hot Soup
Deanne

Absolutely delicious! I'm fairly picky with soup, so I decided to get beef hot soup as a safe option. I did not regret it at all! It was so flavorful. The service was very attentive and helpful! For a party of 8 on new year's day it was a 40 minute wait. We went through a few shops that were in the plaza to kill time, and I highly recommend doing that too!

#8 Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup
Alice H.

BP has always been a staple hot pot restaurant and it never fails. I usually opt for Taiwanese spicy but dang I forgot how spicy it was. Each hotpot has a good balance of vegetables, noodles, and meat. The most recent time I came here, we were literally the last ones on the waitlist!! thank god cuz I might've been pissed cuz I was hungry. Service is usually pretty fast considering how busy they are. But coming at night too close to closing time isn't good bc they run out of the little konjac jelly thing they give out at the end lol :p The only thing I really don't like about this place is how the tables are SUPER close together. Might as well eat on one big table all together hahahahaha Other than that, FIYA!

Beef hotpot - medium spicy
Justine K.

Came here during the weekday a little after the lunch rush and it wasn't super busy like it usually is. We didn't have to wait or join the waitlist at all but I noticed you join the waitlist bc is a QR code now, rather than signing in through their tablet. The lunch special is until 3 PM and comes with a drink, either green tea or winter melon juice. I got the beef hotpot in medium spice level with vermicelli noodles and it was pretty good. Not a painful kind of spicy. I like that the hotpots here are personal sized and usually if I'm really hungry I'm able to finish it but this time I couldn't and brought it home for a second meal. We also ordered a side of pork slices and it was plain, but tasted good when dipped in the broth. The waiter was friendly and checked to see if we needed additional broth/water added to our hotpot. It's a good spot for casual lunch or dinner with small groups or larger groups (recommend joining the waitlist earlier during busy hours).

The food was pretty ok, loco moco tasted very home cooked, which was not bad! The patty was well seasoned, but the gravy was a bit bland. It was well balanced when eating it altogether. The kualoa pork breakfast burrito was interesting to try, although, the green sauce they added made the overall taste a bit confusing. So I enjoyed it without the green sauce. The pork could be softer, but it was an interesting take. Overall, the food was okay, but the girl handling the cashier, cleaning tables, and serving the food is working hard! Service was pretty nice. It's nice to support the business!

I never took them up on the free food offer because I prefer to keep reviews honest, but the gesture still stood out to me. This time I ordered the 2-item combo with the honey sesame chicken karaage and kalua pork. The karaage was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I asked for all the sauces on the side and the green sauce paired really well with it. The kalua pork was tender, but a little sweeter than I personally prefer for traditional kalua pork, so I'd probably try a different protein next time instead. I also grabbed a spam musubi, but the portions were so generous that I didn't even get around to eating it until I got home later. While I still miss the old chicken katsu, I get that menus evolve, and overall this visit was a much better experience than my previous one.

Food quality is good, but today's portions were significantly smaller than before. For a 32 oz bowl and paying extra for salmon, I received more like a 16oz bowl of food (see photo comparisons). Not cool! I literally counted 5 brussel sprouts. I had half a scoop of greens and barely enough jollof rice to cover the bottom of the bowl. I watched the lady scoop up sides then pour half of them in my bowl and the other half back into the warmers. The young gentleman also skimped on the toppings. He added about teaspoon of roasted garlic, also barely noticeable on top of my food. He didn't say a word, didn't ask if I wanted extras, nothing. He moved so quickly that I barely caught him in time to ask for dressing on the side as he flipped the bottle upside down ready to pour. I had to ask for shito peppers and relish jam as well while he proceeded to place the lid on the bowl to be bagged up. Part of this was because the lady at the register (super friendly) had input my order and was providing me with the total, while I was trying to watch preparation of my bowl. I appreciate the efficiency. BUT!! I'd rather service to be slower and correctly done than rush and not have food to my liking. Had I not jumped to the register, I would've certainly asked about the significant decrease in food portions compared to my previous orders. I definitely paid for a bowl where the quantity didn't match. *sigh

I was skeptical at first how much different the wagyu versus non-wagyu meats are so we tried the wagyu round versus the eye of round to compare an we can immediately taste the difference. The wagyu melts in your mouth, there's a stronger umami flavor, and overall sticks to your tastebuds much stronger than the non-wagyu beef. Both delicious but I did find the wagyu beef a lot more memorable and much easier to chew. The service here was fantastic and shoutout Alex again for pointing out the happy hour specials. We enjoyed $2 house sake which is unheard of! I love the ambiance in here because you can come as you are but still feels elevated and comfortable. Highly recommend to come with a friend or group and enjoy the experience together.

Tomatoes in the sukiyaki broth... GAME CHANGER…read more Service was good, we had a reservation at 8:00 and they did make an attempt to squeeze us in earlier. Even though they couldn't accommodate we appreciated the attempt. Everything down to the food and drinks is great. Highlights: - tomatoes n sukiyaki - milk tea and coffee jelly - black cherry ice cream I deducted a star because we were a party of 4 on one burner. We saw an empty table next to us with 2 burners so we kindly asked if we could move. She said no because the two burner tables were for parties of 5 plus. Totally understandable! An hour passes and we see a party of 3 at a 2 burner table AND that empty table still empty. Food is great; make sure you make a reservation!
