  I was craving hot pot for sometime and was finally able to satisfy this craving with a friend over dinner. We stopped by on a Saturday around 7pm. They were busy but not packed. We were able to get seated right away.
  I ordered the Beef Hot Soup (~$17) with the mild spice level. Unfortunately, you can't make any substitutions, you can only take things out. So I took out the pork meatball since I don't eat pork. My hot soup was served with a bowl of White Rice.
  The sliced angus beef was delicious. It went well with the firm tofu, fried tofu skin, and tempura. I'm also a big fan of the corn they put in here. All the ingredients were great but my soup was definitely spicier than the mild that I asked for. Additionally, my friend's soup was less spicy than she asked for. So, they might have accidentally switched the orders. Luckily, you can ask for more broth to make the spiciness less concentrated.
  Their sauces are also pretty good! I recommend trying them all and then mixing them up to find that right sauce that works for you.
  When we were finishing up, they handed us this cup of purplish tea with chia seeds in it. It was a nice and light way to end the meal.
  If you're looking to have hot soup and leave satisfied, I definitely recommend checking out Boiling Point!

  Came here to try their famous Taiwanese soup. When we got seated, I noticed there was soup spilled on the floor from previous customers that sat at the same table. As I was about to use the restroom, my foot slipped and I almost fell due to the soup on the floor. I asked one of the employees if we could move to a different table. They were able to do so. Once we got our food, everything looked good although, the portion was significantly small for a dinner price of $16/$19. Next to us, sat another gentlemen who coughed consecutively many times. He blew his nose obnoxiously in public and it was utterly digusting trying to focus on my food and enjoy it while feeling the air of this persons contagious cough flow my direction.. I quickly had asked one of the associates if we could possibly move to a different table. And he said no. I said why? It is not busy? And it clearly wasn't. We came at 4-5pm and luckily we beat the line. But the employee was quite disappointing where he wasn't able to tend to our needs. I asked for our food to go and he hands us 1 box... when we ordered 2 soups..
  
  Aggravated. We paid for our food $38.40... and I had mentioned again that it would have been better to move us to a different table since another person was coughing...
  
  Never going back.

  The first time I tried boiling point, I didn't really like it because my pot had too many veggies. This time, I decided to get the korean bean paste one because it had rice cake. The broth was really good and not spicy since I got mild, but it was a bit salty. The noodles were very good and so was the pork belly, but I wish there was more pork belly. The other thing I liked was how they had bean sprouts with mine and kimchi, whick added a nice boost of vegetable to the pot.
  
  I wasn't really into the rice, though. It was a bit bland, but that's probably because you're supposed to eat it with the rest of the broth.
  
  The complimentary drink at the end was really nice. It reminded me of lemonade with really sweet basil seeds.
  
  I think boiling point is good, but for the price and the amount of meat you get, not so much.
  
  The ambiance in here is really nice and so are the bathrooms. It also has this aesthetic wall painted behind the chairs, which I think is pretty dope

  Boiling point is my favorite chain of Taiwanese hot pot places. The fremont location in particular is better in my opinion because of the service as well as the food. I've been to other locations and this one has the friendliest staff and the food is more consistent.
  
  My go to order is the Lamb flavor in Medium spice. If you're not a fan of lamb Beef is the most popular out of the menu. Most items here are good, but the seafood hot pot is not as good because they don't give much food in it. The Thai hot pot has a lot more food and has seafood in it too.
  
  The drinks here are also surprisingly good for a place that mainly serves food. They have free green tea for lunch, which i really enjoy. If you're ever in the mood for Boiling Point I recommend this location!

  I believe this is my 1st time here at BP!  Overall - Acceptable for me food-wise.  
  
  For similar style of hot pot and for similar price $18+ each pot, I prefer Tasty Pot.  Seems I get more meat, more seafood, more veggies, etc. in my pot over at Tasty Pot.  
  
  I do like the fact they give 10% student discount if you show valid student ID.
