Boiling Point - San Mateo

Boiling Point in San Mateo is a fantastic spot for this delicious hot pot chain. The management and staff were very attentive and helpful, so I couldn't help but leave a generous 25% tip! The waiting area features a spacious bar without service, which makes for a comfortable place to relax while you wait. I usually order the lamb pot and green tea, but be cautious with the spicy Taiwanese option—it's extremely spicy! You've been warned!

My wife and I visit this restaurant every week, and it's hard to believe how often we've come. The soup is surprisingly good and very affordable. Our favorites are the Thai fusion soup and the lamb soup. We like to add extra vermicelli to both—they're perfect that way! The waitstaff is friendly, and they have no problem bringing extra broth at no additional charge.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and serves great food. We were a large group, and they were able to accommodate us all. The response time after we received our food was a bit slow, but overall, it was a good experience.

Quite solid hot pot, although it is hard to get about how expensive these meals can get, depending on how many extra ingredients they order. I ordered her bark hot suppe with medium spiciness for taking up during the Kovid-19. the broth had exactly the right amount of heat and taste. the bark was quite tender. the suppe was quite filled with sweet a mini maize on the cob, some greens and mushrooms), fish cake and vermicelli nudeln. they also contained three additional sauces, including some delicious hot sauce. maybe the sweetest thing was that she burned one of her fishcakes with ibp I love boiling point lol)

First time. Nice ambience. Very clean. Wait wasn't too long on a Saturday night for two about 15 minutes. Service was good. Ordered house special and seasonal pomelo broths. Both were good (about $16 each) but not sensational. Would visit again.
