Boiling Point

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 fish balls were my favorite part! FYI: It came with vermicelli noodles already, so I recommend getting the rice as your free side. My cousin got the Korean Bean Paste Soup "medium" and it was really spicy for her, so be careful when you're ordering your spice level! This is located in the Osaka Marketplace plaza and it was very empty on a Friday night at 7:00 PM. A pretty small location compared to others that I have been to, but overall very clean interior. The staff are a little awkward, but they get the job done. I appreciate that they offered to give us extra soup broth mid-way! Very considerate.

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 were delivered in wrong order. I asked the waiter three times, he was firmly sure that he brought us the right one. We decided to let it 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.

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. It gets 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.

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 (for someone raised on not highly spicy food) and I thought the mild was fairly spicy. If you're not used to eating spicy food I wouldn't recommend going much higher than that.

I had the beef soup and it was very flavorful, with a generous amount of meat and vegetables. I was extremely full after. The price is pretty good, especially for what you get, and they give you a complementary ice black or green tea. The hot spicy was definitely hot, not mild at all which i liked. And the garlic miso on the side was very good too. I would come back again.

Update: 9/1/21 Everything seems to be almost back to normal. Pretty much a full house on a Wednesday lunch sitting. AC was on for a comfort hot pot dining. Last I came here was still only done in outside. The inside dining made the difference. The interior settings at this place is better than the one in San Jose. However, the hotpot presentation was off compare to the San Jose location. Not sure is it because it's cold due to the AC. The hotpot come pre heated (as its steaming when it arrive) and also they hard boil the egg already (I prefer it raw and lit it heat up from the flame as it should be). Taste is still as good and in par. 1/2021 Out doors only. They have a few make shift tables in front of their entrance where it was a walkway in normal times. Food still taste good. However, some improvement can be made. 1.The spicy oil sauce is missing the condiments and just plain oil. The stuff that goes with it is good too. Need some of that stuff. 2. I order the lamb that usually have some vermicelli. This came will 5 or 6 strands. Seems got shafted. 3. The sour cabbage is little too. Like a small spoon dab of it. 4. Drink is cool and not cold. No ice in it. Yes, it's cold outside, but still drinks need to have ice as the ice cold feeling is what part of the experience. Overall: still good, however if this is the way serve it, I rather go down to their other location san jose. Tips: Make sure you wear some clothes and a jacket. It's cold outside. I normally don't require the full burner, but today, it's the only thing that keeps me warm and the food staying hot.
