You don't see a lot of places for hot pot, so I was pretty happy when I stumbled on this one. Regarding the quality of the food, everything I had was absolutely delicious! I ended up splitting a pot with a friend and it was still a ton of food! A bit pricier than other hot pot places I've been, but I'd say it's worth it for the quality of their ingredients and the amount they give you. The staff is really great as well. I, being the clumsy fool I am, actually slurped my noodles too hard at one point and splashed broth all over my face and a drop got into my eye. I wear contacts so I had to run to the bathroom to wash my hands and take it out because it was burning soo bad! When I returned, the staff kept asking if I was okay and it was nice to see they were genuinely concerned about their guest. I'd have no issues on deciding to come back here for sure! read more

The owner is really nice and friendly. He made sure to check in with all of his customers and built rapport with his easy-going personality. As for the food, it was delicious! Perfect for a cold day in December. We had two bowls for a group of 3 people for AYCE. One bowl had the Thai Coconut and the other had a combination of Spicy Szechuan and Savory Veggie as the broth. Personally, the combo broth was our favorite to add the veggies and meats in. We ordered all of the sauces to try and the Citrus sauce was the best for the meat. Wonderful service and great food = 5 stars read more

Pricy for the portion, but a hearty meal to satisfy your hot pot cravings. Rolling Boil is located downstairs in the Anaheim packing district, my BF and I were seated pretty quickly when we came around 6 PM for dinner. Table is bar or table seating. They have different cuts of meats, prices varying from type of meat and amount. We got the 7.5 oz New York steak with spicy Szechuan broth. For sauces there are three types citrus, sa Cha, and toasted sesame, either choose one or all three. Each pot comes with a dish of veggies and noodles. We also ordered two sides of rice and milk tea. The hot pot broth was spicy and piping hot, very delicious, meat was super tender and thinly cut. Wish there were more veggies, noodles were mediocre. The side sauces were all solid with good flavor. Overall not authentic hot pot, but def will satisfy a hangry stomach. read more

Came to check out the packing district and decided on this gem. Super busy on a Sunday rainy evening but amazing service and food. read more

Always been the go to spot. Great service, great meats, great broth and sauces. Never been disappointed when coming here.

Buenisimo lugar sobre todo el servicio, Cesar y Rogelio atienden como si fueras su familia,. Awesome place service ie the best!! Cesar, Rogelio y el burro treat you and make you feel like family read more

The costumer service is amazing there was a man I don't know his name but he was very helpful and kind. The food was great , what's not to like? The idea is fun and if your food doesn't turn out well it's not their fault. The Thai broth is exceptionally well. I like the energy of the area, everyone at the restaurant was either happy or made happy by the great service. Overall it's amazing and I will go back when I can. read more

My new favorite in the packing district! We had the All You Can Eat and loved all the proteins it came with. Top favorite was the rib eye roll. Next time we come back I want to try a seafood combo with the salmon and shrimp. You know it's good because I'm already planning our next trip! There's a good variety to pick from too. I liked the savory veggie broth. For sauces I picked citrus (my favorite sauce here) for the protein and the toasted sesame which went great with the veggies. We got the All You Can Eat so we ordered extra baby corn, onions, carrots, and cabbage too. I'm on a low carb diet at the moment so it was super easy substituting the rice/noodles and pairing a protein with veggies instead. You can order two proteins at a time, and we were able to eat through two plates full (probably three if we wanted to push ourselves haha). Worth the price IMO. You also get a dessert included with AYCE. We got Lychee ice cream and Chocolate; both were really good! read more

Got the large (12 piece) prime ribeye and the large (12 piece) salmon. Like most shabu places, the meat packages come with vegetables, a bowl of rice, sauce, and noodles. Most places give you udon, this place gives you thin egg noodles. Meat quality is good. The sesame sauce (like goma) and the citrus sauce (like ponzu) were good. Their broths are unique and they let you mix them together. The spicy with vegetarian broth was a good mix. The Spicy with Thai was also a good mix. One thing I liked is that there is no extra charge for different broths, even the spicy ones (although the prime ribeye 12 pc was $31 so maybe they kind of *rolled* it in there :) read more

Best place ever! Simon is the best - so welcoming and friendly. The food - amazing. The combination broth of Spicy Szechuan and Thai Coconut is so good, and make sure to get all 3 sauces. My bf and I come at least once a month, so this review is definitely long overdue. read more

Went to this restaurant a couple months ago to have some hot pot. It's inside the Anaheim Packing House so depending on the time you go parking can be challenging since it's mostly street parking. Wasn't hungry enough to do ayce so ended up getting an 8 piece choice ribeye with combination broth (veggie plus seasonal which was miso at the time). Not a lot of variety in meat compared to other places. Liked their citrus sauce the best! The ribeye was decent. They gave a lot of rice, veggies, and noodles to go with it. Pretty attentive service too! read more

Rolling Boil - 8 pc choice ribeye with combination broth (veggie plus seasonal - miso) - Hot Pot Near Me - Anaheim, California

Came here as the place I originally wanted was full. This place was somewhat empty, so my boyfriend suggested we try, not even really knowing what kind of food they served. We sat down at the bar to find it was a hot pot/shabu shabu like place. Our server quickly took our drink order, I got a pineapple cider on tap. It was really good probably better then apple, you would think Maui Brewing would make something like that instead of the usual apple. We both went with the 4 piece mix & match combo which we chose some type of steak I don't remember which one & shrimp. In my head I was thinking "this is not gonna be enough food for him." We chose savory vegetarian & spicy szechuan as our broths, & went with all 3 of the dipping sauces. A veggie plate was brought out to us & not long after came the food. Again looking at it, I knew he was going to want to eat something after this. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out to me. Portion size for the price though could be improved. The combo was $17 for 8 pieces & I mean obviously it ain't no thick steak or jumbo shrimp. Big eaters beware, be sure to fill up on beer or something else beforehand. It seemed to be a trick to make you buy more. Service was good & quick, no complaints there, but I think I'll pass on this one next time we're here. read more

Rating is based on solely on the fact that I stood there for 10 mins waiting for someone to come and take our order. The girls at the counter said we can seat ourselves and after waiting for 10 minutes no one came to acknowledge us let alone take our order. So my friends and I stood up and walked away. Will never come back to this place and not recommend. Terrible Service. read more

If you're looking for some delicious hot pot, this is absolutely the place to go. They have plenty of options for flavors and a large meat selection. The plates given have lots of veggies and noddles in addition to the broth and meats. The flavors are extremely delicious, my man and I drive from the inland empire just for their hot pot! It's a must have for the cold weather! read more

Very good, fresh ingredients. Tasty broth. It's a bit loud when there is a band upstairs, but generally okay. Festive atmosphere.

This is a long overdue review, but SIMON has the best customer service that I have experienced at Rolling Boil/The Packing District!! 10/10 recommend if you're looking for comfort food for the soul and for some really good laughs. My husband and I have been visiting for the past 3 years and every single time I leave feeling happier and fuller (AYCE SHABU - no regrets), I promise if you need a pick-me-up, please visit Rolling Boil and hopefully you'll be graced by Simon's presence. Thank you for always making our time memorable and for making us feel like family, Simon!! read more

I'm not a shabu fan but this is the only place that makes me crave it. Simon adds to the shabu experience. Get the schezwan and coconut broth together - it will blow your mind. read more

Simon was our server. He recommended the spicy Thai broth. It was insane. He gave us all the good sauces. Everything was perfect. Will definitely be back read more

This place is the best! Great food combined with the packing house ambiance makes it a slam dunk for food and drinks. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. If you're looking for something different to eat check out the scene at the rolling boil!! read more

Came here because I saw there was beef noodle soup on their menu and I was craving beef noodle soup! I still haven't had the hot pot here but it looks good! While we're dining, there was a long line of people waiting to dine they have some shabu shabu. Every table and seat is equipped with an electric stove for the boiling pot of goodness to cook your veggies/meat! If you do happen to crave something other than hot pot, the beef noodle soup is super flavorful and looks like they use the hot pot meat in it (thin slices of beef). The broth was really good but not spicy like the typical beef noodle soups. It hit the spot and was a great portion and relatively inexpensive! read more

Rolling Boil - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Anaheim, California

Oh man, I have so many mixed feelings about this place :( I came and ordered a hot pot with the Thai coconut broth and it was delicious! I've been here so many times and this place don't miss when it comes to the taste. They give you lots of veggies, lots of noodles, tofu, and 2 different sauces and everything tastes fresh every single time. The servers are all SOOOOOOOO nice here as well! What went wrong was that this last weekend when I went, the owner (or manager) named Josh, pulled a server from the back, brought her to the front and center of the restaurant, and in front of ALL THE GUESTS, proceeded to scream at her and lecture her. The place was dead silent because we all felt awkward and we could hear him loud and clear being extremely rude to the poor server. I clearly remember him saying she better "put on a smile every single day & that she better have all the customers smiling or ELSE." I'm sorry but I know for a fact this poor server is not getting paid enough to be humiliated and talked down to like that ESPECIALLY in front of PAYING GUESTS. Josh, you're the one who needs to change your attitude and if you're so great at running a business like you quote on quote told her you are, then you would know that happy employees= better service. Do better. read more

We wandered around the Packing district to see what caught our taste buds and decided to eat at Rolling Boil since I'm obsessed with hot pots and shabu shabus. Keep in mind, I've been to TONS of hot pot/shabu places around SGV and the OC and I must say, I was VERY disappointed in this place. The only thing good to report back is their soup broth. (However, there is a cost if you want to refill the soup!) We ordered the veggie and Chinese herb broth that was tasty and not too salty. Other than that, the side veggies that the order came was was VERY sad. Our plain white button mushrooms were very sad and wilted. (Where's the other types of mushrooms such as shitaki, enoki, or even king mushrooms?!). Besides the mushrooms, the veggie plate also came with a little serving of noodles, some napa cabbage, a couple pieces of broccoli, a few leaves of spinach and 2 carrot pieces. The meat was okay. We'd ordered the rib eye and while it was pretty tender, it was quite fatty. If you're craving for a good hot pot or shabu place, please look elsewhere. This place seemed to fit a beginner hot pot eater, but I promise you... There are SO many other fantastic places not too far away from this with far better pricing AND tons more vegetable and meat options! read more

Such a dope place to enjoy shabu if you're in Anaheim. Good food. Great service. Definitely brining my friends

*** Rolling Boil is located on the bottom floor of the Anaheim Packing House (right next to the stairs located in the center of the Packing House and you should also see a giant Japanese Sake wall right next to the Rolling Boil's counter) *** I was slightly surprised when I first learned that the Anaheim Packing House actually has a hot pot restaurant because I have been to the Packing House several times and I never noticed this hot pot place. I came here with my friend for weekday dinner and it was somewhat crowded. I put my name on the waiting list and didn't understand why we had to wait for approximately 10 minutes even though there were few seats available. The staff wasn't exactly attentive (it was hard to flag down our waiter and request for the check) and I also had to ask for spoons. Menu: It is really a three-step ordering process - choose a protein ( 8 different protein options; 4, 8, 12 or 16 pieces of meat; there is a vegetarian option), broth (6 different broth and our waiter recommended 50/50 broth - spicy szechuan & Thai coconut; no 50/50 broth for sukiyaki), and sauce (choose 2 out of 3 sauces). You can pay a little bit more for the mix & match option (mix any two or three protein items). *** Mix & Match (NY steak & Prime Rib Eye; 4 pieces for each meat) with sukiyaki broth and Toasted Sesame & Sha Cha Sauces ($17): Sukiyaki broth tasted really concentrated and the broth had unusually strong sweetened soy sauce flavor. I didn't like the broth that much because it started to taste slightly salty as water began to evaporate and all that left was super concentrated version of the broth. The only bright spot was toasted sesame sauce - that was pretty good. *** I did sampled my friend's 50/50 broth (spicy szechuan & Thai coconut) and it was much better than sukiyaki (not to mention it tasted pretty spicy). I wouldn't drive out of the way just to try this place and I probably won't return to this place again unless my friends have strong craving for hot pot and I can't drive all the way to the San Gabriel Valley for better options. read more

We always have the best time here. Great selection of broths, great selection of meats, fresh veggies, and a good selection of beers and cocktails on tap. Everyone that works here makes sure you have a great meal. Do not miss this place. read more

The broth!! Amazing!! Doesn't matter which one you get they're all delicious!! The meats are great also.. rib eye and beef belly.. just great.. read more

As a person that loves hot pot... this is one of the worst hot pots you can go to. If you are desperate for hot pot and in the area, I guess you can come here but expect high prices for low-quality meats. The meats tasted frozen, the broth wasn't that great, and the sauces tasted stale. Their rice was also extremely dry. There are way better options in the packing house if you are hungry. I only gave 2 stars for fast service. read more

This place is located on the first floor of the packing district. I love hot pot and could not wait to try it. Once you are seated, they bring out a side dish filled with veggies, some noodles, and some mushrooms. There are 3 parts to the menu. First you pick yoir proteins, then you pick your broth, and finally you pick your dipping sauces. The proteins consist of pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and fish. You can choose 2 or 3 proteins depending on which option you choose. The broth consisted of Szechuan, veggie, thai coconut, miso, sukiyaki, or you can opt to blend two of the broth flavors to make your own. As for the sauces, I chose to pay an extra dollar to get all 3. That was well worth it as the sauces were all delicious. My broth was a mix of spicy szechuan and that coconut. Flavor was outstanding. I got the scallops and fish. There are only a few pieces... enough to get me full but my fiance was still a little hungry. Overall flavors were good and their manager had excellent customer service skills. Definitely a place I would be coming back to. read more

The one reason to come back is the $23 AYCE. If you're not particular about the quality of the beef (I'm not - who can tell between kobe, wagyu, or whatever after it's swish swished anyway), it's great value. You have a choice of beef, beef belly, pork, and chicken. What I wasn't keen on was these stupid rules on the AYCE. The menu says everyone in the party must get AYCE but the waiter was nice enough to let 2 of 4 get it. But they said if they see us sharing food they would just charge all of us for AYCE (without even a warning). Of course the wife became paranoid and wanted to split up the family. Then they won't refill your meat until you're 80% done with your plate. I don't know if it's house rules or just stuff the waiters made up. Other than that it's just average. All they had was hot pot even though the menu had non-hot pot items. The veggies and other sides were anemic. Final conclusion - it's overrated - unless you want to stuff yourself with the AYCE. read more

Combination of Spicy Szechuan / Savory Veggie and Thai Coconut. AYCE meat and veggie. Soup base is ok. Meat is fresh. You get a lot for AYCE and the meat quality is good. Since it's locate in the Packing District and seatings are limited, the wait is about 10-30 minutes. read more

PERFECT every single time! Everyone that works here is simply amazing, very attentive and gives wonderful recommendations. The meats/ seafood here is always fresh and the broths are flavorful. We've been coming for years for date nights, family dinners out and even had my bday surprise dinner with a large group here. Don't let the size of the location fool you, it makes for an intimate gathering spot. I can't say enough good things about this gem it's a must try on the Packing District bucket list! read more

Been going to this place for 5 years now. Never had a bad experience and we drive all the way from San Diego for this hot pot. You can't beat theirs flavors. Very relaxed place and kind people who work here. Fairly priced and great ambiance too. Love you guys and will always be back! On our way now from SD as I write this! read more

A friend introduced me to this place, and I am in love. It's the only hot pot place I've ever been to, but absolutely not disappointed and feel more comfortable with the cook of the meat than usual Korean BBQ places. My only note would be to have a greeter of sorts to seat people or help answer questions people might have. Using the servers to do both doesn't seem to be flawless quite yet. read more

First time at the packing district, this place is beautiful and so exciting and full of food it's overwhelming. We picked hot pot to help cure the long hang over from the night before. Best decision ever, we sat at the bar the people next to us bought us drinks, staff and service was great. Highly recommend. read more

Tried this place for the first time on Sunday. My friends and I got here right when they opened. They started a little late but that was just fine. We went with the AYCE premium options. I'm so happy we did because having the salmon and shrimp options was great! The belly was also AMAZING! I wasn't a big fan of the other meat but there was plenty of the options that I did like. I love that it came with a large plate of veggies as well. We got the Szechuan spicy sauce and the coconut based sauce. Both were amazing although the Szechuan sauce flavor didn't stand out much other than the spiciness. Would definitely come here again! Great good and great service! read more

Located in the packing house on the bottom floor if you come in and walk straight towards the stairs, right next to the Blind Rabbit. I recommend valet parking if you come during a busy time, it's $3. Bar and small table seating options. My review is based soley on Uncle rogers beef noodle soup. I actually tried a sample at a Yelp event, and had to come back for more! I've been back twice for it, but have yet to try the hot pot experience here. I usually sit up at the bar and eat, this is the only pre made option, and it is so good. Comes with noodles, bok choy, beef, and noodles. The broth is super flavorful, and can be overwhelming after awhile, but it's super delicious. I have also tried the chicken version, definitely much lighter and not as flavorful, but eating it all the way through was easier because it wasn't so flavor intense. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner for one. The owner of the Rolling Boil hot pot place was so kind. He chatted with me and then gave me a few extra slices of beef for my order! Definitely stop by if you can! I took his recommendation and got NY steak for the protein, and combo broth (veggie and spicy/szchechuan). Taste was great and service was even better. read more

Good food! You might have to wait a while. Tables were small for a group of 5 of us but overall a great place!

I am from San Diego, and we definitely do not lack in the hot pot category. Given the menu, prices are a lot more steep than most other places. And options are very limited. You have 8 different meats to choose from, 6 different broths (you're welcomed to mix and match) 4 dipping sauces 8 vegetables 3 carbs (udon, egg noodle, rice) The servers are all super friendly and talkative though. We decided to go what our server recommended, which was Spicy Szechuan and Thai Coconut soup base mix, it was really tasty. And the citrus and toasted sesame dipping sauces. I decided to do a mix and match of Rib Eye Steak and Gulf Shrimp. Not going to lie, I do feel like the meat and veggies portions are very minimal, especially for the price you pay. I do feel like the hot pot is stationed at a somewhat far distance from you, you have to extend your whole arm over the counter in order to reach the soup. And you also can't adjust the heat setting yourself, the servers do it for you, and sometimes the pot is boiling for too long, or not hot enough, which sucks. Overall, it was okay. Nothing too spectacular. read more
