So. I am convinced that this is THE only hotpot place I will EVER like (I mean love). I've been to sooo many to see if there are more options. Nope. I'm done trying. BP is my go-to for life! Varieties, the ONLY negative aspect of the line... read more

I am an avid soup lover so Boiling Point is an obvious favorite for me. I love to get the beef soup and add in an egg and whatever else I feel like for the day (typically its bean curds and extra enoki mushrooms). Each soup comes in a cute little bowl in a box and the soup is kept boiling with a little fire underneath. The problem with this is that the temperature of your soup is either "on fire" or "rapidly cooling." I'm that annoying person that asks for my fire to be put out and turned on a couple of times throughout my meal and if you have a cat's tongue like me then you will probably need to do the same. The table I sat at was cleaned off but when I sat down could still see soup spills on the table - a little off-putting for a meal. The location is TINY. I went late at night when they weren't busy but I'll assume there will be long waits during peak hours and weekends. You'll probably have to park in another lot as I know this one used to get packed even before Boiling Point came in. Their Taiwanese Spicy soup is huge (sized for two) and spicy - not just "ooh that had a kick!" spicy but the kind of spicy where you feel it go through your entire body and you wonder what you've done in life to bring you to this point. I really like their super creamy Hokkaido milk tea too! read more

This is for a to go order! I ordered mushroom and beef soup and the broth spilled in the bag when I got home. I ended dumping mixed broth in both soups and it didn't taste great cause the mushroom broth is pretty much plain water. Next time, don't stack two soups on top of each other, put it side by side and the lighter food on top. My husband is vegetarian, but he ate it anyways cause he was hungry and it was too far to drive back! It also got my car rug wet, ugh!!! read more

Always smelly of fish paste Food is amazing!!! Always good music playing and staff is polite and attentive. Not very much of a selection with appetizers but your soup come with a side of rice and has free broth refills so that's nice. My only wish is that boiling point PLEASE GET LIMES!!! Soup would be so good with limes!!! LIMES PLEASE:))) read more

As a Taiwanese restaurant, they should feel SHAME for themselves. AWFUL SERVICE It was a cold, windy night with long lines because of their opening discount, but this is not the worst part. The waiters gave every customer a number and told you that it would require at least 30 mins waiting. Because of the bad weather, most people decided to get back to their car and come back later. However, after we came back, they told us "sorry, you guys missed it; if you still want to eat it, get a new number and wait again!" WTF! This bull shit happened to many people that night, the most retarded service I have seen! SHITTY FOOD As a hot pot restaurant, they should serve customers food in a boiling broth with a small fire stove under the pot, ensuring the food to be warm/hot all the time. Instead they gave us a half-cook food, and they forgot to ignite the fire in the stove. Moreover, the food material is cheap and shitty. As long as you know how to switch on a stove, you can make your own hot pot 10 TIMES better than their SHIT. I would NEVER ever come back to this AWFUL place! read more

I am reluctant to give a one star but really can't compliment their service. We ordered take-out but after waiting for 20 minutes they told us that they forgot our order and reordered for us. Then after waiting for another 15 minutes, we asked again and was told that our food is ready but pending adding spiciness. Interesting because we ordered for zero spiciness. And that's what we told the waiter, who claimed to pick up the food for us. Then another 5 minutes' wait. Then we had to ask another waiter and finally got our food. This is a small and crowded place and that's why we decided to take out. The food here is OK but there's no reason to give more than one star based on their terrible service. read more

Awesome services and quick food preparation. No long lines and plenty of parking spaces. Probably my favorite BP out of the Washington area! read more

They updated their menu with a new pot " curry crema". I think this particular pot is pretty decent and it tastes way better than the rest of their items. I am not planning to retry any old items (18dollars for the big pot) and I still think their pricing is too high for pre-made hot pot. read more

Love the food and the Boiling Point franchise, but the service at this specific location is very, very poor. So bad that I won't becoming back any time soon and will make sure that none of my friends, family, and co-workers do so as well For my fellow Yelpers, don't waste your time at the Redmond location if you value service. Take your money to the Bellevue location as they seem to know what they are doing there. read more

I love the place since it open until 11 pm. Which is perfect for me since I work until 10:00. This is the only place I can eat. The hot pot is amazing and I love the drink. 東西非常好吃，上菜速度很快，服務員很友善，每週必來一次以上，很高興有一個台灣火鍋店開在Redmond read more

The worst service I have ever been given. I've been to BP numerous times, normally I would expect their service to lack a little because it's so crowded and always busy that it's easy to miss a table. This however was NOT the case. Besides another couple, me and a few friends were the only ones there. After taking our order, they didn't seem to come back unless we got their attention. We asked for 5 rice, only got three. We asked for corn, they didn't inform us until we asked about it again that it was sold out. BUT WAIT, the group who came after us ordered corn AND GOT IT. Wtf?!?! Done. So done. I don't know if they don't serve you water but you're suppose to get it yourself...? There wasn't a sign for that nor did someone tell us. I only gave a tip because I too work at a restaurant so I understand. But as a waiter I have never seen shitty service like that in my life. DONT GO HERE. read more

Oh, Boiling Point, how I loathe thee. Let me count the ways... There are so many things wrong with Boiling Point I almost don't know where to begin. I'll grant them a very positive star for cleanliness, but on service and decor they lose one and for food they lose two. The overpriced bill was the final nail in the coffin. The place is clean, but the tables and chairs have obviously been designed for very short people. I sat down and felt like a kindergartener as both my knees popped. I felt like Gulliver in Lilliput, and I'm only 6-feet tall. Service was tolerable, but the food was abysmal. Fresh Enoki mushrooms should not be rubbery, cabbage should not be astringent, and clams should never, ever have that much grit. Sadly, the best part of my dish was the tripe, better even than the beef in my bowl. And I really don't enjoy the taste of fresh tripe, so that's saying something. Worst of all, I would say they're grossly overpriced. Given the quality of cooking/ingredients they put in the pot, you can do a lot better for about a third less. Get your hot-pot or ramen fix elsewhere. read more

The good: Tasty food. Hotpot came with free cold bubble tea. No substitution for hot tea. The bad: The ventilation in the restaurant is very poor. There is an overwhelming smell of gas that comes from everyone's hotpot gel fuel. The restaurant needs to improve their ventilation or simply leave the door open. I always feel lightheaded after eating there. I hope it doesn't leave their workers with lasting adverse effects. Carbon monoxide poisoning is no fun. Wait on a recent Friday at noon was long. Can't recommend to parents with hungry impatient kids. read more

Best individual hotpot! If family style shared hotpot is not your thing, this is the perfect place for you. No need to mix your own sauces or wait for the meat and veggies to cook. The dishes come out already cooked, and are kept hot with a small burner while you eat. Come for lunch for a free ice tea! read more

I'd give five stars if the Bellevue location wasn't furnished so tightly I can barely get in and out of my table. I love sharing a large hot pot with my husband or daughter here. We order a few extra ingredients (daughter loves extra noodles. I love extra tofu skin. And we love an extra egg!) Such a healthy and delicious cuisine. We eat this kind of food at home, too, and it's great to be able to eat it out. LOVE it. read more

This is a fun place to dine out if you have not been in one before. Since it is franchise and chains, it is not hard to find one near you. Basically it is just like regular Chinese style hot pot but instead everyone share the same hot pot, you have your own with relatively small one. The nice thing is you pick your own type of hot pot out of 10, like original stinky tofu, seafood, Thai and so for. It is a great experience and fun if you have few friends to share different one. Now the bad part is it is quite expensive base on the quality and quantity of food you get. I think the whole ingredients only cost them less than $5 but you pay like $15. What a rid off. With bubble tea as drink, your bill could cost you over $25 per person easily. Therefore one time is good enough. read more

So if you guys follow me and my reviews, you guys know that I gave Boiling Point two tries at Chinatown and Bellevue location, and my experience was horrible. BUT I decided to give Redmond Boiling Point a opportunity. My first impression was that business was small. Before I order any type of soup, I always ask my server what their soup base is. (I can't eat pork) My server seemed clueless with everything I asked him. Every soup base was supposedly all "beef" base. I ordered Thai Tom yum soup with sides and also a Hokkaido milk tea (which was amazing btw!!!!!!). First sip of the soup, I was like mmm this is not bad at all!!! And the two dipping sauce they have were very satisfying. I suggest you guys to mix the two together and wallaaaaa, a delicious sauce! One thing I will never understand is why it's not possible for two different checks for one table. The lady server really had me calculate my total for the bill. Like are you serious!!!!!??! I guess I really saved the best location for last. Haha I'm sorry china town and Bellevue, you guys are a disappointment. Redmond, you won me over! read more

This place was good. Great food and stuff, really enjoy it. Service was okay, little slow on getting my check, but it busy so it understandable. read more

When i'm craving for hot pot this is the place to go. I love boiling point so much, especially this location in Redmond. All the other location I've been too, I had to wait 30 min to 2 hour wait. But not for Redmond. I always get seated right away even with a group of five people. I like how you get your own little pot of food. There's already a menu with all the flavor of soup you get so it's not like the traditional hot pot that everything comes on the side and put it in but still taste amazing. My personal flavor of the hot pot here is the #4(which is the beef soup and one of the most popular pick) and the Thai one. Oh and here's a tip go during lunch because you get a free drink your choice of their delicious green tea or black tea. (That will save you $3-4) read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Environment: 3/5 Value: 3/5 First time trying boiling point. I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The broth was very salty and somehow the food cooked in the broth wasn't flavourful. It just seems like a glorified hot pot place. read more

The Boiling Point here is not as good as the ones in Bellevue and Seattle, in my opinion. First of all, the space is almost half the size of the Bellevue location. I was seated in a corner and had to squeeze in between another table, where another couple was seating at the moment, to get to my table. And lastly, the service wasn't really good. The person who sat me seemed to have an attitude towards me. It took a while for my black tea to come, but I can forgive them for that because there was another family ahead of me that placed an order. However, my food did come pretty quickly. I just wanna commend one of the waitresses, I can't remember her name, but she was very polite and asked me how I was doing. Other than her, the other people didn't really check how other people were doing. It took me a while to get another waiter/waitress's attention. I just hope they can work on their customer service skills. Other than that, everything else was just okay.. read more

I'm writing to you to report a horrible customer experience that my group and I experienced in Boiling Point @ Redmond, WA on 4/30 at around 7 PM. We were a group of 5 people, and we departed from same location with 3 cars. I arrived at the restaurant first and signed up for next seat available. I was the first in line, and the restaurant did not have a table for 5 at the time so I waited. I saw a table of 4 being ready to head out, and told the waiter that I'd like that table and combine with a 2 people table so there's large enough table for a group of 5. The waiter acknowledged my request and said OK. I then told him that I have to go to the toilet and will come out for the table to be made ready, and he replied OK. After I came out of the toilet, I soon discovered that the smaller 2-people table was occupied and there was no longer a table for 5 people. I asked what's going on, and a waitress claiming that she's in charge told me that since my parties have not arrived, they have given the table to someone else. Just then, my party members were at the door and she kept on explaining that the waiter did not know the policy such that they can't give tables if the party member didn't arrive. I questioned her that how would she know that my party members were not around and she couldn't answer. Furthermore I explained to her that I was first in line and she kept on saying that they don't take reservations. I rarely had such horrible customer experience at a restaurant, and our group decided to go somewhere else. This is totally unacceptable. read more

This was an excellent experience. I would suggest getting some of the major food allergies optional for this menu. Many people have intolerance that the servers should know about and or options available right on the menu. I had a great time with the little stove on the table and thought the food was very delicious. There was a wait but it was only about five minutes and then we got in the house. read more

We went there last week for dinner at Redmond location. The spoons smell like toilet cleaning liquid, that was the very first impression. Though we already asked the restaurant to give us new metal spoons (the previous ones were plastic), we couldn't get rid of the bad impression of hygiene quality from the very begining. Moreover, the food was below average. I ordered seafood hotpot, most of the seafood were frozen ones (not fresh at all). Only the tofu was fresh. I don't think I will ever come back read more

Yesterday my friend and I were there around 1:30pm.There was only one waitress so everything went slowly. Nobody in front of us in the waiting line and soon there was one 3-person table available. This busy waitress ignored us. After another 10 minutes waiting, we kindly checked with her to see if she could settle us since my young toddler was hungry. That waitress suddenly freaked out, shouted that she was the only person and too busy, and she threw away the dirty dishcloth to the available table over two customers' heads. We were shocked!!! We never expected a waitress would do such a horrible thing and shouted to customers. After that she directly went to clean another 2-person table but just left us waiting there. We will never ever go back again. read more

This place is definitely worth trying if you are a hot pot fan. The special part about Boiling Point is that their pots are personal. My favorite is the Milk Cream Curry pot. The Taiwanese Spicy pot is arguably their best tasting, however it is so ridiculously spicy you need to be mentally prepared for it first. read more

Effusive with praise Ambience: 4 Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Value: 4 I thoroughly like this restaurant. Its food is tasty. Its drinks are delicious. Its staff and environment are friendly (Taiwanese style, not Chinese style). And its prices are pretty good to boot. Boiling Point is a Taiwanese-based chain, and this is the second boiling point on the East side (the other is next to Facing East in Bellevue). This chain appears to be less crowded (it's still crowded, but not hour wait bonkers). They specialize in 'personalized' hot pot, in which you get a small personal sizzling pot to eat; this is in contrast to the 'family style' hot pot (e.g. Little Sheep) in which everyone shares the same pot. As it is 'personalized', there's no 'all you can eat'; all the ingredients, beyond the base materials are a-la-cart. Don't let that dissuade you, the combinations of material in the base pot are nicely combined to give you a variety of complementary flavors and eats. We always opt for the spicy pots and they have a nice variety to choose from... ranging from Taiwanese special to Thai. All the base pots have some unique spices, with a combo of veggies, carbs, and proteins (meats, seafood, and tofu). You can get a variety of interesting add-ons if you don't find the base to be sufficient (go for ramen and lamb). You get a side of rice, and for lunch you also get a complimentary 'tea'--not a milk tea, just a tea; it's still pretty good. If the free add-on tea is not enough, there's all the usual milk tea (and slushy) to choose from. Above all, I recommend the Hokkaido milk tea. There's really no way to describe the flavor, you just have to try it; it's creamy yummy delicious. The staff and environment adhere to the Taiwanese playbook (this is not your usual crass Chinese service), which emphasizes politeness and tidiness. It's good. The price is surprisingly affordable. Hot pot, even if you do it at home, can be pretty expensive; the sliced meets are not cheap. While they don't give too much of the expensive stuff, they give you interesting combinations of stuff that would cost you a lot if you tried all the ingredients (e.g. we got a crab with our Taiwanese spicy pot). Go try it. read more

Not buying into the hot pot craze here in Seatown. There aren't any in Colorado but my friends and I host our own. Came here for lunch and had to get the big pot. The small was too small. I thought the price was a bit much for what you get. I wish their blood cubes were blood cubes and not mostly rice. Might as well be a rice cube? All in all, the food was decent. Can't go wrong, especially on a cold drury winter day in the Northwest. read more

Decent Taiwanese hotpot. The Beef Hotpot is my go-to dish and it never disappointed me. However, lately they rolled out a new dipping sauce recipe, and I must say I'm less than impressed. The old sauce is a good mixture of variety of tastes: spice, salt, a little bit of sour. The new sauce is simply too salty. Too bad the sauce was out favorite part about Boiling Point and we will probably visit less often from this point. read more

I don't think this place is good for any person who come alone. They are too busy. I went there by myself around 2:00pm today, I waited until they call my number. Got a seat right near the window, then waiting for the menu for about half hour until I felt not hungry anymore. Then the end... the menu never come. No one came by give me the menu or water or anything (I waved my hand once ask for the menu and the waitress told me just a moment), during the waiting a person come after me and another groups after me were having and finished their lunch already. The food looks good but I don't even have the menu so I can only rate this place 1 star. read more

This is consistent like every other boiling point in the country. The location is a little small but probably not much smaller than the Bellevue location (probably similar in size actually). Parking is better at this location though. They have pretty good macaron ice cream and my son likes eating them. read more

Seriously? We waited in "line", didn't leave, but if two little girls left and they called and skipped their number. It's okay to just cut everyone else. Have fun with no tip from those little girls. I went to Korean. I'll take my money elsewhere. Bye. read more

The staff is as important as the food, period. At this location, there is little regard for customer experience. Not much eye contact, no checking in to see how everything is, your on your own and your veggies will get overcooked, as you cannot turn off the pot with out the little paddle to snuff out the fire. I ordered the vegetarian soup and the broth was like water (they have no salt no soy sauce btw, had to flag waiter down to find out) And in addition to this, this place is really small, so when the staff members/member behind the counter behave like a 12 year old barking out laughter and talking loud as if the place is your own living room and the customers are an after thought, it's really distracting and inconsiderate. So the food is marginal if you eat meat. Bad broth but good veggies if you don't. read more
