    The front of the spot

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Ribeye , Beef belly

    Good ramen I loved it for my first time the secret sauce is so f good I asked for 3 cups of the secret sauce

    This place is amazing! Quick service, and the bartender even shared his 'secret sauce' with us, it was delicious! The food here is so tasty, and definitely worth the price. Highly recommend!

I really wish they would bring it back because it was one of the restaurant's signature dishes and a favorite among many customers. During this visit, I ordered the sliced pork and the jelly noodles. The sliced pork was incredibly tender, with a clean, fresh flavor that let the ingredients' quality shine. The jelly noodles were refreshing, spicy, and full of bold Sichuan flavors. The combination of heat, seasoning, and texture was simply delicious. The dessert was also surprisingly good. It reminded me of mochi, topped with puffed rice that added a pleasant crunch and contrast to the soft, chewy texture. If you're looking for authentic Sichuan food in Los Angeles, I highly recommend Sichuan Impression. The flavors are genuine, the dishes are consistently well prepared, and it's a place you really can't go wrong with.

    This is a great Asian spot near Disney that isn't Din Tai Fung…read more The employees are really nice. Service is quick. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A restroom is available. Free parking in a small rear lot shared with Walgreens (it will look like you're pulling in to Hyatt parking). Mild noise level inside; can be noisy outside depending on how busy the adjacent road is. They have a good amount of food and drink options, from noodles and rice to dumplings and pig ears. Fountain drinks are self-serve, and they also offer canned and bottled drinks. The veggie dishes, fried rice, and noodles are delicious. I highly recommend the spicy wontons. Their dim sum options aren't the best I've ever had, but their other menu items make up for it. You order at the kiosk and pick up your food when your number is called (they sometimes bring it out to you if you're outside). Prices are on the higher side, so don't go here on a budget. Come later in the evening and eat outside if the weather permits! You'll get thinner crowds, good ambiance, and yummy food.

This spot used to be Luscious Dumplings (received a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2021), but the Chubby Group took over and rebranded it as Chubby Dumplings. [Parking]: Free parking in the rear and the parking spaces are shared with Hyatt House and Walgreens. [Amenity & service]: Small space with both indoor and few outdoor tables. A restroom is available. Our party waited approximately 20 minutes for the food even though the restaurant was only half full. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Pan Fried Pork Dumplings. *** Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings (6 pieces - $13.50): The skin was a bit thicker than I had expected and the broth had an average flavor. Steamed Chicken & Corn Dumplings (6 pieces - $13.00): I should have read the menu more closely as these steamed dumplings contained corn and I certainly wasn't expecting this ingredient. They tasted alright. Shrimp with Pork Siu Mai (6 pieces - $12.50): Ironically this appetizer order was probably the best of the three, but damn hefty price tags for 6 small pieces of pork siu mai. *** 3-star for the food but bump down due to (1) the food took a long time to prepare (20+ minutes) despite this being a fast-casual restaurant and (2) the portions were small relative to the somewhat expensive prices. This is the most disappointing restaurant I have experienced out of all the restaurants I have visited that are part of the Chubby Group.
