Reviews for Boiling Point in San Jose, CA
A unique experience of a single serve hot pot meal. The mild miso soup broth was delicious. The fish ball was my favorite... ingredient. Presentation was neat, but it was a bit challenging to eat since ingredients were pulled directly from the boilingbroth. It may have been helpful to ask for an extra empty small bowl to transfer cooked food into. A bit of a smaller venue andvery busy, even at 9:30 pm. If you go closer to a typical dinner time, be prepared for a wait. Even the lowest level spice hassome kick, so I suggest leaning toward the lower end of the spice spectrum unless you know you like a lot of heat in yourdishes. Read more
Boiling point has been one of my favorite hotpot places since our first tasted in Southern California in 2014. When we are... craving for small hot pot, this is definitely our top place to go. For lunch you will get one drink for free(black or greentea), including weekend, which is very amazing. Their appetizer was not as impressive as the hotpot when we visited inNovember, 2021. We got House Special and Seafood & Tofu this time. House special has been a very classic and authenticTaiwanese small hotpot flavors. I like how Seafood & Tofu has lots of seafood instead of those typical hotpot seafood ball youwould see in other places. They put too much white pepper in the soup base, so it tasted not as plain as I expected. Gladly theywere able to add soup so it tasted a lot better after that. The white pepper was the main reason I gave 4 stars but overallit?s very good and tasty. Will definitely visit again. Read more

It was my first time here. I ordered a Mild Korean Bean Paste. Food was delicious! We had servers consistently check on us and... made sure we had everything. It was fairly busy since it was a cold day. I loved it and I will Def come back to try the otherdishes on the menu. Read more
Pretty quick service and good portions. Ordered the lunch special #4 and chose green tea for the tea it comes with. Be aware... even mild is pretty spicy (coming from someone who doesn't eat much spicy). Was easy to park get a table on a weekday lunch. Read more
Waiting list is long come early. We ordered the famous Beef Hotpot and it was tasty. The beef is tender and goes well with... garlic chili sauce. The sweet boba tea was alright of course not as good as specialty boba joints. Read more
Large serving. Should be more than enough if you order one hot pot. The taste was good, maybe not as delicate as I expected, but... still will come back if I get a chance. The tea comes with the hot pot, which is really great!! Read more
