Boiling Point - Chino Hills, California

Jung Lee

This is the Chino Hills outlet of the hotpot chain restaurant Boiling Point. Their selling point is that you get your own pot of their favorite stews with set of toppings such as beef or lamb and also Korean, Taiwanese or Thai soup bases. You are also asked what level of spiciness you desire. Medium is plenty spicy so be aware if you choose more spicy levels. They have lunch set menu which is a dollar less than dinner and they give you a choice of green tea or winter melon tea. Their four sauces on the table are quite decent. I like their green pepper chili sauce. You can add extra meats and other toppings with extra dollars. It’s an efficient and simple dining experience for those of you who like Asian spicy flavors. Parking is plenty in the strip mall.

Came in after a late public hearing in Pomona and we’re lucky this place was still open. We walked in about 25 minutes before they closed at 11 PM. We noticed the restaurant signage on the building was out so we almost missed the suite. We were seated right away- probably 3 other tables in there with patrons. One of my favorite Taiwanese hot pot restaurant. The menus are on the end of the tables on a pull-cord. Pull and scan and I appreciate the card was not sticky. Got waters right away while we were looking at the menu. Not our first time at a Boiling Point so we knew what we wanted. Husband got Milk Cream Curry and I got the Beef. Probably got our orders within 5 minutes after ordering. My favorite dipping sauce is the Garlic Soy - there are a total of 4 sauces labeled in both English and what I presume to be Chinese.

My beef soup had a very generous serving of beef and it was very good quality- you could taste it in the meat. I ordered my soup with rice and husband got noodles which comes packaged separately for you to drop into your soup and cook. All the vegetables were so good when they were cooked in the soup- even the corn.

They did a last call at 11 PM which was nice because most restaurants do it 10 to 15 minutes before they close. We didn’t get anything else but they were nice enough to fill up our waters for us and turned off our burners upon request. When they dropped off the check they also gave us the Lemon jelly snack.

Overall I liked the cleanliness of the restaurant and was extremely pleased with the service we got even though it was right around closing. We walked out around 11:10 and did not feel rushed to finish and leave.

With the weather getting colder, we decided to visit Boiling Point, which specializes in Taiwanese hot soup.

We went with the most popular dish and ordered the beef hot soup with medium heat. We also ordered a side of veggies and white rice.

Temperature wise, the soup comes out hot and stays hot. The spice level was just right and had my nose running at times. It had lots of veggies, mushrooms, thinly sliced beef, fish cake, thin noodles - there was a lot in that bowl. The broth was also good, and the staff would add more as requested. The veggies were also good, esp with the rice and some of the garlic chilli sauce sitting on every table. That garlic chili sauce would be good on just about anything.

The restaurant itself is small and kind of cold, but it heats up once soup hits your lips. One recommendation — maybe lower the music volume a bit. It wasn't bad, just kinda loud.

Prices are fair and staff were friendly and attentive.

Very average dining experience.
Even though there are multiple soup bases to choose from, the amount of food was clearly less than when Boiling Point first started.
The decent part is that the restaurant is clean and has a good amount of service staffs working the floors.
Flavor wise I prefer Pop Pot in Diamond Bar. The portion is bigger and pricing is better.

Probably 4.2-4.4 ⭐. Service is okay but don't expect too much because it has 1-2 trainee on the board. Lunch specials are good with a small black or green tea for free. The food is excellent, and House Special, Lamb, and Milk Cream Curry definitely must try in my opinion. Come back as usual if I am not willing to try other Taiwanese hot pot places.

Badly service
We wait 10 minutes to get a table we have a baby on the car seat they let us seat at the booth then they said we cannot put the car seat next to the table what should we do the table is very small it would not fit for the car seat. And they have another table that have more space but they didn't say anything. Just say can't put car seat here. We decided to leave they still just looked at us don't help don't say any sorry. bad service Don't do that with the parent they have kids or people on the wheelchair. I appreciate that your restaurant is too small, but the service needs to be improved. Bad service

We came here even tho it was rated only 3.8 at that time. Two of us shared the Taiwanese spicy hot pot and it was super good. I need to warn those who cant enjoy spicy tho coz its very very spicy. We ordered some more green, they re not very fresh, but there is no 4.5 stars so I would just leave 5 🌟 😅 The fermented stinky tofu is good too 🙂

Can’t say anything about the food, they’re real good. Best time to be here is past 2pm where there’s not too many people, no long waiting time and not crowded. Service was a bit off, asked for water but didn’t get it. Also we have to wait like 5 minutes to get their attention for our bill when the place was half empty. But would definitely be back.
