Reviews for Boiling Point in Fremont, CA
Says what it does and does it best. Great service and good food. Loved the presentation as well. Especially loved the texture of... beef, tofu and glass noodles. Will be back for more! Read more
We would have given it four stars if it based on the second visit at which we ordered Taiwanese Spicy Hot Soup and Sliced Beef.... Both items underwhelmed us as we had high expectation given by our first visit. The soup was too spicy and the slice beef waslack in flavor. We really enjoyed House Special Hot Soup and Holy Cow on our first visit (highly recommended). The soup had avery clean refreshing flavor, and the holy cow had this tender and jelly like texture, and chilly oil flavor. We finished everybit of it. Read more
I got the Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup and it was delicious! It had a very flavorful curry broth and a subtle sea salt foam on top.... The sliced pork was clumped together, but was overall very tender and soaked up the broth well. The sliced potatoes and the fishballs were my favorite part! FYI: It came with vermicelli noodles already, so I recommend getting the rice as your free side. Mycousin got the Korean Bean Paste Soup "medium" and it was really spicy for her, so be careful when you're ordering your spicelevel! This is located in the Osaka Marketplace plaza and it was very empty on a Friday night at 7:00 PM. A pretty smalllocation compared to others that I have been to, but overall very clean interior. The staff are a little awkward, but they getthe job done. I appreciate that they offered to give us extra soup broth mid-way! Very considerate. Read more
I like the hotpot from boiling point. I started to follow the food when it was only in LA. Their sauces, garlic hot sauces are... very taste with the hot pot. However, I was disappointed this one in Fremont. First, we ordered the flaming level of spiciness. It's disappointed. It's not that spicy at all. Second, ww ordered the free drinks that offers during lunch. But they weredelivered in wrong order. I asked the waiter three times, he was firmly sure that he brought us the right one. We decided to letit go. Third, our hotpots was another disaster. Well, it wasn't a big deal that he put the wrong orders to wrong person. But,it just made us feel not that pleasant. The last, I had to ask them where was my appetizer. After all, these impacted my mood. Read more
Very satisfying meal! The broth was a little too sweet for me but I liked the variety of ingredients and the sauce bar.... Definitely would come again and try a different dish Read more
One of my favorites in Fremont. Portion sizes are massive, and prices are great. You can easily feed two people and take home... leftovers for $40. Alec and the staff are always very welcoming and even remember me when I eat there. Highly recommend. Itgets real busy on weekends though because it?s so good. Show up before 6 to ensure a table?there aren?t many! Also. the ?spicy?isn?t that spicy, but the ?flaming? is??..very spicy. You?ve been warned. Read more
Good hot pot, served individually rather than family style. Customizations are not allowed. I ordered the beef. Their spicy... garlic soy sauce is incredible, I mixed it into the rice. I will say that I'm someone with a fairly average spice tolerance (forsomeone raised on not highly spicy food) and I thought the mild was fairly spicy. If you're not used to eating spicy food Iwouldn't recommend going much higher than that. Read more
There are many flavors for hot pot, you might wait 10~15 min in the lunch time.
