    12:55pm on Monday.
    Vicky H.

    Here at 12:55 pm, close to an hour after listed opening time. Talked to a very nice woman in the kitchen who made a phone call and said someone would come by in 5 minutes. Ten minutes later, still no movement. Phone call went straight to voicemail. Photo taken before we departed for something actually open. Perhaps the size of our 6 person party was too daunting?

    3 sauces on the menu and a secret house sauce, Beef belly and chuck roll, half and half spicy Szechuan and Thai coconut.

    This wonderful restaurant is on the lower level of the Packing House. It's a very intimate setting especially when the employees slice the meats to order each plate. They are very attentive and kind with their service and portion sizes. They are also very patient for first timers (me!). We met two employees both named Alex who really made our experience special and personalized. I enjoyed mixing the Spicy Schezuan and Thai Coconut broth for a great balance of heat and flavor. They even let you decide the ratio for each broth in mixtures! 4 plates of meat later, I felt satisfied and full. 5/5 would bring family and friends back!

    Our first time here and won't be the last!! The broth delicious and the service was WAY BEYOND our expectations!! Alex and Pepe were AWESOME so darn friendly and attentive. They made us feel welcomed they are a great team, the owner should be proud to have them represent his business!

    We have eaten at most of the places in the Anaheim packing district. We decided to try Rolling Boil for the first time before an evening of cocktails at The Blind Rabbit next door. This hotpot place is located downstairs on the south side of the packing district. You can either sit at the main counter, or at one of the standalone tables on the right side. Ordering involves selecting a broth, proteins, and sauces and rice. They have a la carte and all you can eat protein options. They also serve beer, sake, and a few cocktails. I chose the spicy Szechuan broth, the eight piece New York steak protein, brown rice, and the toasted sesame sauce ($23). They can adjust the spice level and I went with mild since I didn't want to blow out my palette before cocktails after dinner. It was pretty mild, and I would definitely order at least medium spice level next time. They also have hot drops if you want to add that to your broth. I was afraid that only eight pieces of meat would leave me hungry, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the cuts of meat were a good size. You also get a separate bowl of noodles and veggies to add to the pot. Without asking, they offered to serve us all three sauces to try. She chose the savory veggie broth, the eight piece chicken protein, brown rice, and the toasted sesame sauce ($20). She's picky about her chicken and did a little fat trimming before I could take a picture, lol. Our favorite sauce was the toasted sesame which had a nice nutty flavor. I also loved the citrus sauce. The sha cha sauce was good, but came in third. I enjoyed the protein in my bowl, but hers ended up being a little smaller serving after trimming some fat off the chicken pieces. The veggies and rice were good. The staff was friendly and checked on us often. Overall, it was a good meal at a reasonable price.

    Not a great experience unfortunately... I got the Thai coconut soup base which turned out to be very citrusy. I could hardly taste the coconut flavor. The citrus flavor itself wasn't bad, but it's just not what I would expect from a Thai coconut flavor. A huge downside was that my soup arrived fridge-cold. And my station took FOREVER to heat up my soup, hardly took it to a boil. When it eventually started boiling more, it was over ten minutes. Later, it was still barely boiling, just hot. I've never had this happen to me at a hotpot place before. $35 for the basic AYCE (all you can eat). Not a lot of meat options for that one( 4 choices). The first plate I got with the chuck rolls and pork tenderloin looked really fresh. However, my second plate with beef belly and chuck rolls was unsatisfactory. The beef belly had a lot of fat on them, and the chuck rolls this time were super thin slices and they even have brown spots in them. Not very red and fresh like the first plate I got... It also came with a bowl of white or brown rice and a plate of veggies with noodles and tofu that is refillable. Was surprised to see a hot pot place at the Anaheim packing house. Tiny space, seat felt a bit crammed though. The staff member was friendly. I would not go back, don't recommend.

    How many of you have experienced #ShabuShabu, a subset of #HotPot? Along with #Bulgogi and #Pho, this is one of my favorite dishes while residing in SoCal. Check out all that meat!!!

    AYCE Premium
    Timothy Spencer T.

    TLDR: There is always something charming about dining at a bar table. There is also something charming about hotpot. This place provides both. The ala carte options are good, and the AYCE is a nice addition for parties with various appetites. The price is $5-10 more than the chain hotpot spots, but I'd pay the extra for supporting a local business. AYCE Premium: I chose the miso based soup just because it was familiar. You get rice, a plate of napa cabbage, noodles, mushroom, and broccoli to start and you have 7-8 choices of meat. The sesame sauce seems to be the restaurant's top choice, but I thought the meal would have been fine without it. The turnaround time of how often the staff would take your fresh set of orders is heavily dependent on how many people are eating at the bar, but they'll keep you in mind via mental queue if you let them know that you're ready to order again. Best cuts for me are the Ribeye and New York, which is important since those are the additional slices you get access to if you opt in for the premium. Beef belly was good, just to change things up a few rounds in. Service: It was alright. It's not the best, but it's far from being the worst. They found this fine balance of being able to take in a Friday rush with as little staff needed while providing what folks need without waiting too long. Ambiance: Anaheim packing house is already a good place to be. Pair that with a hotpot place that serves good food and it's a pairing that is hard to beat. The Friday night DJ also played a set that I enjoyed, which helped with the vibe. The conversation with my group was a touch challenging given that we were sitting side by side, but I don't mind.

    You have to remember to rub the cat for good luck! Haha I took a selfie as proof that I rubbed the cat for good fortune. Hopefully it works for 2025! Lol The food is good. It's your typical hot pot place. You pick everything that you want in your hot pot, and it cooks right in front of you. It's really good and filling! Service was fine, no complaints there. It was very clean too. And luckily, no wait time or anything when I arrived. I was seated right away. I enjoyed a good meal.

    Salmon Hot Pot

    Hot Pot at Rolling Boil is good and piping hot! It's a different vibe and not the usual hot pot experience in a Chengdu or Szechuan style restaurant. The veggies were fresh. However the chicken and salmon were teeny tiny. Being in a place in buzzing Anaheim Packing District Food Hall, Rolling Boil is a good alternative to beat the crowd.

    Ayce was GREAT! Server Donna was super helpful and explained everything clearly. Ate as much as I could in a beautiful little restaurant!

    Kristie M.

    The ambiance was great, the food was delicious, and our server Donna was the absolute best! Our first time here, and my partner and I loved it.

    Food is fine. Not bad at all but average. Service was great and very attentive service. It's downstairs in the Anaheim Packing District surrounded by other eateries. If you are in the area and want hot pot this is decent.

The toothpick mutton ( and every other dish; shout out to the babmboo shoots and ribs) here is f****** delicious here. Have been going to this place for 7+ years ever since living in Tustin. My husband and I then moved to Arizona (for his work not just because - let's get that straight) and we make it a point to stop by here every time . Heck, if I'm driving back to AZ I've even gotten to go orders, put it in my small cooler (I literally bring this cooler just to bring back food from CA to AZ) and have it for dinner. I'll never stop going to this spot. Consider me a lifer! Plus the waiters smash it every time. Shout out the the workers! They're so nice!

I've lowered it by a star since my previous review, and it is mainly because of the cost of some of their items. Overall, this place isn't cheap, but some of their items seem extremely expensive for what they are. For example, the Flaming Pork Jowl is priced at $35.99. You get so little for how much you pay. While it tastes good, I just don't think it's worth the price. Even though I think that the Tea Smoked Pork Rib at $27.99 is pricey, that is still far more worth it than the pork jowl. Another thing that bugs me is that they never seem to have their Signature Braised Duck. The price is high on that one, but I still want to try it. However, it is never available, even when I have tried to order it right when they open and at various other times of the day. Overall, though, I still really like the food here. It's always busy for a reason. Another thing to note is that ordering through Toast is the same price as in the restaurant, so that makes it easy and convenient!

For my 11-year-old daughter and myself, it was $60 for what didn't feel like a huge amount of food, so I felt the value was lacking. We were welcomed when we came in, but we ordered at a kiosk and our name was called when the order was ready. It took about 15 minutes for our food to be prepared.
