So this is the new location for Boiling Point in Rowland Heights and I have to say it's still the same good flavor and dipping sauces. The one in Diamond Plaza is no longer there and they moved further east now. I ordered a beef pot and it was still good. They have an option for "meat lovers" if you are hungry, it turns the pot to a large size and I would say it's too much meat for me. I know -- first world problems. They still offer free tea as part of the lunch deal, they have green tea and winter melon tea. It seems like they got rid of the black tea that they used to have. This BP is nice and new and renovated. It feels a little smaller but parking here is a bit easier since this plaza isn't super popular. The parking lot has an exit that says no right on red so be mindful of that. Pricing is pretty up there, I think it was around 20 dollars now. Service isn't much since all the sauces are on your table. Overall, still a pretty good BP if you're into pre-made hotpot.

I was craving for Boiling Point hot pot on my birthday yesterday. Hubby and I went to the one in Walnut around 11:30 a.m. They offer a birthday promotion featuring a free small hot soup and a tea for dine-in on the actual day of your birthday in the States. We both ordered #10 Rose Milky Hot Soup. I ordered one without spicy, and hubby ordered one with a mild spicy level. I showed them my driver's license to confirm it was the actual day of my birthday. They said that I could get a free upgrade for my free drink, and I could choose whatever I wanted on the menu. I picked the pudding sweet milk with boba with 50% sweet. Hubby also got a complimentary iced green tea that came with the pot. The Rose Milky Hot Soup had a lot of ingredients inside, and it was in huge portions. It had cabbage, udon, sliced pork, fish fillet, corn, seafood mushroom, firm tofu, broccoli, Chinese string bean, tempura, imitation crab meat stick, shrimp, milk, and Dried Rose. However, I would rather choose Milk Cream Curry instead next time because the Rose Milky Hot Soup tasted bland. It also lacked soup inside the pot, so I asked our server to add hot soup for me. The sliced pork was very chewy this time. I still liked the fish fillet, seafood mushroom, and shrimp. Anyhow, the service was great, and we like Boiling Point. They were so generous to give this birthday promotion. I will try their Korean Bean Paste Hot Soup or Beef Hot Soup next time because I always order the Milk Cream Curry. =)

Boiling Point has been one of my husband's and my favorite spots for years. My husband always orders the #8 with extra pork intestine, and I usually get the #4. The flavors are consistently good, and the quality has stayed solid over the years. One thing we really appreciated during our recent visit was that they gave us two complimentary teas, which was a nice touch. Yes, the prices have definitely gone up compared to a few years ago, but honestly, we still keep coming back because the food is comforting, reliable, and always hits the spot. If you're craving Taiwanese hot pot, this place is still one of the best choices around. We'll definitely be back again and again.

Interior

Amazing service and food! This is probably one of our new favorite locations due to the friendly staff and tasty pots. The menu is consistent with their other locations and remains the same as it's always been. I highly recommend their Thai Tomato pot with vermicelli, and coming before 3pm because you get a complimentary tea: either green tea or wintermelon tea. * Thai Tomato: 10/10 - great flavor and has both meat and seafood * Beef: 9/10 - variety of veggies and beef * Green Tea: 10/10 - light and not too sweet * Wintermelon Tea - 8/10 - good but a bit too sweet for our liking The interior is very spacious, and they offer a decent amount of seating. Compared to other places, the lighting is also a lot brighter, and the workers are super sweet. It's located in the corner of the plaza with a decent-sized parking lot, but it can get crowded at peak times. Keep in mind that they're only taking cash at the moment! Their machines are down, but you can call beforehand and ask if they're taking cards yet. Can't wait to come back!

I've probably been to the new location at least five times since they opened. It is a nice little spot that easy to get to with tons of parking. I have mixed feelings on this location compared to other locations, including the RH location that closed and was replaced with this one. 1) the kitchen is slow, not just a little slow, but very slow. In other locations, after ordering, soups are usually brought out within 10 minutes. Even when they are not very busy I seem to be waiting 20-30 minutes for our soups. 2) the servers are inattentive unless you flag them down. Out of the five visits, only my last visit had a server preemptively come by and offer to refill my soup, not just once but twice! Other times I have to stop one passing by as my food is about to burn from lack of liquids. 3) the servers are nice when you are able to get their attention Overall it is a decent spot and I will likely be back (as I do love my BP), but will have to be ready to wait for my food.

They have app

Finally we get to eat at boiling point since it is no longer at grand opening, plus the parking and wait is reasonable. Boiling point is Taiwanese & Chinese fusion hot pot that has been around SoCal for many years. The decor is modern, clean, and simple. The restaurant is at corner of small plaza with fairly limited parking. Service is better than average. We order house #1 and seafood #2 with medium spiciness. # 1 is stinky tofu, but the smell is tone down and tofu is still sticky. It doesn't smell like one. It does. It's pretty salty and spicy. I still like it. #2 seafood is fish, with other ingredients you typically see in hot pot. Taste is good. Overall, they have app to order to go and you can probably get points. Also, they offer free hotpot and drink if it's your birthday on same day as your valid ID. One small complaint is that I feel the small table of two is so light and can be move too easily, kind of uneasy for me because I have to watch myself.

Since the San gabriel location closed we tried this location . Modern interiors and friendly service. Seating is a bit limited so expect a wait. Good economical hot pot.

New location since Rowland Heights store closed. Food prepared as pictured and came hot. Ordered classic beef pot. This visit made me like Boiling Point more. I normally don't care for it. The space is oddly shaded but it is clean and well maintained. The decor in the ceiling is cute. Fully staffed and team is very helpful and attentive for most part until the end when needing to close the check. Sad to see not great reviews here. I had a good experience so want to share and even out the rating! Would come back!

9/20/25 Saturday Came in the afternoon around 1:30 PM and was able to get free sweetened green tea and melon tea. Somehow the boiling point in Alhambra drinks are a lot sweeter than this branch. We ordered the beef and the mutton. The mutton is a newer item and only offered in the large size. As usual, both dishes were generous in meat. I especially liked the mutton since I love herbal soups. The meat is chunky instead of thin sliced. Service was quick, but the server mixed up our spice selections and I got a spicy beef instead of no spice. Mild is pretty spicy. Also, they forgot to come back to us about a soup refill. Ambiance is modern and clean. Love the little robot server. We didn't get a chance to be served by it, but it was cool to see.

Sometimes the rating on yelp can be wrong. Boiling point in Walnut is on par with some of the other locations I've been too. you really do get a lot of food for one pot, and the drinks are pretty good for a hot pot spot. The service is pretty quick and tentative! I just wished they opened a location with more tables lol. The design of the location is pretty nice with the neon sign on top. The parking can be a little tricky and tight.

Updating my review. Came in to redeem my voucher for a free hot soup and a free drink before the end of this month. I hate writing bad reviews but this is my second time coming to this location and really noticed that the service is lacking and really needs improvement. When you walk in, you would be greeted by a series of monotone voices. Nothing energetic like the other boiling point locations. Staff also walks by and does not really check up on you. The staff here do not ask if you need help with anything. Is everything okay? And does not refill soup until you ask for it. A lot of the time you have to take the initiative and ask for something in order to receive service. There is not much initiation on their end to check up on the customers. Disappointing. This place is kinda out of my way anyways so won't be frequenting again. Will go to the other bp locations closer to home.

Beef (Remade)
Stephen K.

Service was bare minimum. Food was terrible. Parking was difficult, but the interior was good. To give more insight, I got a mild beef and the soup lacked so much flavor. It essentially tasted like water mixed with light dashida. They relied heavily on their spicy oil for flavor which only masks the deficiency in the soup broth. Tofu and cabbage had zero flavor as well. Coming from the Rowland Heights location, I am so sad they closed and am upset at the lack of effort from this location. If you are familiar with Boiling Point, this location is NOT the same. (p.s. the picture depicts the attempt to remake the MILD beef, but where did the beef go? lol didnt even try it)

Beef hotpot and two Jasmine Honey Milk tea

Three of us came here at 8:20 PM as we were just finished from our shift and craving some good hotpot. This location doesn't disappoint. We ordered two beef hotpot one medium and mild, and you gotta upgrade your rice to the scallion gravy rice!! Definitely will enhances your overall experience at boiling point. Portion wise it's very abundant which making me bring some to go for my next meal. Huge thank you to Vivie for the great hospitality on this Boiling point Branch.

Very pleasant experience…read more Went on a Friday around 6:30 PM. When you walk in, the first thing you see is a waitlist where you write down your name and number. The young woman working immediately acknowledged us before we even finished writing our info down and asked how many were in our party. We said two, and she told us to go ahead and start building our bowls. The concept is pretty cool and very straightforward. You grab a bowl and tongs, then walk through the different sections choosing your ingredients. They had a good variety of veggies, noodles, meats, seafood, tofu, etc. Pricing is by weight at $15.99/lb. Once you finish building your bowl, you head to the cashier where they weigh it and you choose your broth and spice level. The broth selection was surprisingly huge, around 15 options if I remember correctly. I got the Tom Yum broth mild spice, and my girlfriend got the Organic Miso mild spice. We also added jasmine green tea and white rice for $1.99 each. After ordering, they give you a table number and you can head over to the self-serve sauce station while your food is being prepared. The sauce bar had ponzu, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, Tabasco, scallions, cilantro, red onion, satay sauce, shallots, minced garlic, chili powder, chili oil, and more. The soups came out quickly and were served over a live flame at the table, which was a nice touch. Both broths were excellent. Even at mild spice, there was still a pleasant kick. The broth itself had good body and flavor and didn't taste watery at all. Service was also great. The server checked on us consistently, kept drinks refilled, and was attentive without hovering. The restaurant itself is pretty small, maybe around 8 tables, but it felt cozy rather than cramped. Nice interior, comfortable temperature, clean setup, and the vibe was relaxing. They were playing bossa nova versions of 2000s and modern hits which honestly fit the atmosphere perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Great value, fun experience, and genuinely good hot pot.

Today, my coworkers finally persuaded me to give it a try since the weather is cooler & I feel very silly now. The exterior and interior decor of this place is on point with the bold red and lanterns. It really sets the mood. Service was exceptional during lunch (wasn't too busy). The staff helped change out dirty plates often. Everything was clean. They were helpful in explaining the AYCE menu. The only problem I experienced is how slow the virtual menu was to load and long buffers between each click. At one point it stopped working to reorder so the waitress had to do it manually anyway. We got the half tomato (light spice) and half spicy soup (mild) base and both were really good! I might upgrade to med next time. The meat quality was great, esp the 1 wagyu plate per person that comes with AYCE. Surprisingly the fatty beef was so tender as well. Even the mala beef didn't hurt going in...or out. The bellflower veggie is a must try. Never had this crunchy vegetable before. Love the self serve bar with so many desserts and Chinese chips options.

However, I can't give this place more than 2 stars because of what I felt were serious safety and quality concerns. The restaurant uses plastic utensils, plastic spoons, plastic trays, and even plastic cups for drinking water. The problem is that the hot pot setup gets extremely hot. The trays we were given were visibly melted and stuck together from exposure to the heat. The plastic cups also became soft and warped from the temperature. It was concerning to see food and drinks being served in containers that appeared unable to withstand the heat. The overall setup felt very cheap and somewhat janky. There were also very limited sauce options compared to most hot pot restaurants. The hot pot itself sits on a large stone pot heated by an intense flame, and it became dangerously hot. At one point, I used the metal soup spoon and the handle became so hot that it burned my hand. If you're looking strictly at the food, it's not bad for the price. But the melted plastic, heat hazards, and overall lack of attention to safety made the experience uncomfortable enough that I wouldn't return..
