Are there any vegan or vegetarian options?

Yes they do. I worked there before and we used different tools to make the vegetarian options as well so they never touch meat.

Sooooo do you have sea food????

Yes

Is MSG used in any of the dishes?

Yes. But there's really nothing wrong with MSG in regular amounts. The notion that it's bad has been disproven.

Food tasted good. Decent options. No chicken in the menu. Kiwi fruit after food drink was interesting. Average wait time during lunch hour. Quick service.

Fast casual Taiwanese chain that serves multi-ingredient single person hot-pots in a variety of flavors. They also introduce new flavors and styles from time to time. Ingredients are pretty good. The broth is well seasoned. Lunch is about $13 and dinner is about $17 without a drink. Their milk and bubble teas are pretty good. Service was quite nice and speedy.

Really neat experience! There's something fantastic about getting hot food pots right in front of you. It tastes delicious and the service was smooth and easy. Be prepared to use chopsticks if you don't know how. I'm sure they have forks but I didn't see a single one the entire time we were there. We also didn't see a kids menu so I wouldn't recommend bringing them also since the food can be spicy really fast.

Tasty food but the lines can be long. Dinner hour is more expensive and there is no free iced tea. Lunch is cheaper and comes with free iced tea.

Star rating is based on food only.They offer different flavor broth and each broth has its set of ingredients. It's hard to tell if the ingredients are fresh or not, because they cooked everything in heavily seasoned broth before serving. I went and tried 4 different flavors and only like one of them. Since everything is cooked in the broth, so if you don't like the broth you chose, it's probably hard to enjoy what's cooking in it.Bottom line, if you like a pot of food cooked in flavor broth, this might be a good choice for you.Pro: unique dining experience, good non-alcoholic drinks, price is fairCon: If you don't like pre-cook hot pot, their menu is limited.

The hot pot here was really authentic Taiwanese hot pot. I was amazed at how many pre-determined selections there were, and the portions were pretty big too. The soup tastes really good, I had the seafood and tofu soup and I was not disappointed. I would only say that the customer service could have been a little better, but that was probably because they were so busy with so many customers, especially during peak hours. I would really recommend this place if you love Taiwanese-style hot pot!

Ordered a Taiwanese spicy hotpot to go tonight. The waitress, who seemed to have a bad day, was rude and did not inform us anything about the level of spiciness. When we came back and opened the food, what we saw is a bowl with almost half an inch of chili oil. This extreme level of spiciness turns eating into torturing...The taste was good, however, after we managed remove the absurd amount of chili oil (which as later we measured was a close to a cup).

Great place for hot pot! It's personal style hot pot so it's hygienic & yummy! Lots of combos to choose from, also plenty of choices to add on. If you have a big appetite prolly add more stuff in your pot! ;) We'll definitely come back for more & bring friends over.

Not bad overall. The broth for the Thai Fusion was great; lemongrass, a bit sour, touch of garlic, and a good mouth feel. Service was a little slow and they had forgotten our rice. Definitely go with someone else to enjoy your hotpot and some conversation.

I love hotpot, if you do too then this is the place for you. We all shared a mix of flavors from spicy Korean to miso ramen, sadly it all sort of tasted the same, a bit bland and flavorless but the atmosphere was nice and drink I got was good. The garlic pork was also good, would have that again.

Im not the most familiar with Hot Pot specifically, but I am familiar with good food. And this place has it! I tried the new menu option. I added sliced lamb on the side and an egg-topped bowl of rice. Ingredients were very tasty. The added great flavor to a mainly seafood dish.

I love this place even though it quite expensive. The hotpot is really good and spot on for me. There are some of the small think that you need to remember when you visit are:It is really crowded during peak so be prepared or expect ahead.You can go during lunch for cheaper price and have a free drink.The upgrade rice is worth, but consider the food portion. It could be huge for some people.

Quantity and food flavor are both decent. Wait was a little long, and I would prefer more portion of secrets in food and less variety which seems like they are trying to please it all. But overall, a great little spot for lunch or dinner on a rainy Seattle day

Often busy with a lot of people waiting to get in to this place, but they now have an electronic kiosk set up where you can check in with number of people in your party and get a paper ticket or enter your mobile number to get a text message when your table is ready. Super helpful and convenient! The food here is great with around 10–12 different soup bases with varying levels of spiciness and varieties of meats and vegetables to choose from. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

It's pretty good but I honestly have a hard time eating the soup because it's so hot. Also, to my white guy palate, the house special soup tastes like what a barn smells like. Like ... I feel I have now eaten manure. The beef soup was nice though.

This restaurant is good but I feel it's a bit overrated. The food options are unique and there are multiple options to cater to everyone's taste buds. However I feel there are many other restaurants with the same style offered in the same area for much less. I love that they do offer free tea with your entree. Expect to wait when you come here. The service is good but not as friendly as I would prefer. This place is good every once in while but definitely not my go-to with all the options available in the area.

The Boilling point is definitely different than any other restaurant that I've been to. Having never experienced "hot pot" cuisine, this was definitely a new experience. I'd recommend going with someone it people who know what they are doing. But to summarize it ignorantly, it's basically a huge bowl of soup with lots of stuff, from vegetables, noodles, to meat. So expect a variety of taste and textures with this meal. Service was fine, as it was "foreign" but people were nice. There is A WHOLE lot if space, but probably enough for like 80-100? Anyways. It was good. But if def want to go with someone who knew what to order and what everything was.

Have visited this place many times. The food is always good here and the quality has been very consistent. Although it's not cheap, it is still a great place whenever you want something hot and warm and savory. (Visit during lunch time if possible for the cheaper price and a free drink) House special is my favorite on the menu. But be careful cause it contains pork intestine and fermented tofu. Avoid it if you are not a fan of those things. Except for the house special, beef, and Taiwanese spicy, the soup bases for other options are more on the sweeter side. The Taiwanese spicy is really spicy for me and I consider myself having regular tolerance to spicy food. If it were not for the price, 5 stars.

first off the food here is actually really good. But the service was terrible and I found two hairs in my hot pot. The first one I kinda brushed it off since stuff like this happens all the time, but once I found a second hair I couldn’t continue eating. I’m still hungry. Also got the egg on the rice which was delicious but found an eggshell in it. Makes me question the cleanliness and order in the kitchen cooking the food. Will I come back? Don’t think so.

One of my favorite restaurants. Definitely recommend this to anyone. I found to love the curry dish because of the types of meats/fish balls/seafood compared to the others. This place gets crowded especially since it’s a small restaurant with limited parking. Lunch is cheaper by a dollar and includes a drink.

Wonderful hot pot. Don't order the hot pot unless you're hungry, one bowl could feed two people. Just look around the restaurant for other patrons that already have theirs to get an idea of the size. I personally got the beef hot pot with mild spice and only finished it because I was ravenous. If you only want a little spice, don't even get the mild spice, as it is very spicy if you're not used to it. I personally love heat and the mild was as much as I could take. They offer chili pepper oil on the side that you can use if you want only half the heat.

A really great authentic hotpot place. There are a bunch of different combos to choose from, and spice level is very customisable. The service is really good as food came out fast and I didn't have to worry about water refills. The food itself is also very delicious, filling, and well worth the price. It can get crowded during peak hours though so be warned. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to eat some delicious hotpot in Seattle!
