This is honestly the best hot pot place I've tried so far. My favorite thing is they bring you your own pot and it's already cooked! No more waiting for things to cook, you just dig in immediately. There's a little alcohol burner under your pot to keep things warm, you can ask them to turn this off when you like as well. This place could benefit from a legit sauce bar like many hotpot places feature, but the table sauces were still fantastic.

Went for lunch. Pretty small place and got lucky coming at the end of the lunch rush - it was packed! Each hot pot portion size is more than enough for a person. The hot pots were tasty and good (the Taiwanese one was definitely very spicy!). The drinks were really good. Note that lunch gets you a large iced green or black tea, but you can upgrade for a small cost to an actual drink (worth it). The one thing I did not enjoy was the addition of beef to the rice . It was... Sweet... And crispy. And squid ink black. Reminded me of leftover bits. Not enjoyable at all. I thought it would have been closer to a "lu ruo fan" - it very much the opposite. Overall, I'd definitely come back though, but just would get plain white rice. Hoping next time is better!

Extremely disappointing experience. I ordered a Rose Milky Hot Soup to-go from Boiling Point, and halfway through eating at home, I found a large piece of raw fish inside the soup. Hot pot ingredients are meant to be cooked by the customer, but this raw fish was already placed in the soup, completely uncooked. It was disgusting and made me very concerned about food safety. After eating, I also started to feel unwell. For a well-known hot pot chain, this is completely unacceptable — unprofessional and irresponsible. The service and quality were very disappointing, with no regard for the customer at all. I will not be ordering again, and I strongly advise others to double-check their takeout orders to avoid going through the same experience.
