a favorite hot pot spot in the area - i come weekly for the beef or porcini hot pot! this definitely satisfies my Tasty Pot/Boiling Point cravings.

I ordered a To-Go a golden spicy beef and it was absolutely one of the most delicious ramen soup I've ever tried. Very tasty, spice level was perfect, a lot of flavors, just mind blowing! I'm hooked!

Good lunch special, discount on drinks with meal.Really nice drinks so worth going in for a lunch special :-)Desserts are OK but not the reason to go here. The reasons to come here are; Braised pork, hot-pot, ramen, and/or fried chicken.

I stumbled upon this place a couple of months ago. Close to home and comparable to tasty pot. My brother likes boiling point the best but I have yet to try. I usually get the #11 with the Taiwanese spicy soup. My mom likes this place because they have stinky tofu (fried/with soup). The waitress that works there is really nice and attentive. Big portion except for the rice and vermicelli noodles. I never had to wait for a table and the price isn't too bad.

I was craving hot pot and was happy to find a spot near me. I parked by the Citibank parking lot and thankfully my meter already had an hour on it so I just put in a few extra coins to make it an hour and a half! I loved that our server didn't need to write anything down on a pad. We ordered the beef and Tom yum. I was told I wouldn't be able to adjust my spicy level for the beef and I accepted it since it said it was already spicy. Unfortunately, my soup lacked any flavor. I had to add a bunch of sauces for it to taste like anything. It's also my fault but I asked for instant noodle halfway through my meal and it took forever because they cooked it for us, which I did appreciate but it wasn't cooked all the way and my flame had died out while waiting for it so it couldn't absorb the soup and finish cooking. I do like that they gave us extra stuff as a replacement/substitution for stuff we took out. I also blame myself for being blind lol cause I thought the pink lychee was a smoothie or slushie. But it also didn't look like the picture, I was expecting it to be a lighter pink. It also tasted okay. I did appreciate the girl server walking around offering more water and napkins, I do wish she offered more than a single napkin for the table each time. We were intrigued by the New Orleans wings, don't know what makes it New Orleans but it was probably the best part of our meal. May or may not come back, haven't decided yet.

Food taste: mediocre food, bland soup base Food quality: bad tofu taste like it's been frozen for years. Service: no service at all, water was not served until after food has been served. I complained about stale tofu taste and owner argued it's normal. 2 stars for the location and setting. P.s they charge mandatory service fee for party of 3.

I didn't really like this place. It's new so it has a little bit of a buzz, but the dry cleaner had better tasting broth. Know what I'm saying?

Tasty point is tasty! The hot pots, appetizers and noodles were all delicious. A big hit with adults and kids alike.Dietary restrictions: You can make your own custom hot pot.

Food was ok. Service is good. Try the army stew was ok , durian puding big no no . The durian pudding tastes so bad , its like from the instant powder. The stinky tofu is good, not special . It tastes like stinky tofu supposed to be .

There's not a whole lot of hot spot places in this area, it reminds me of Tasty Pot. The food did take a while to come out, the interior is clean and modern. They auto charged me 18% gratuity for a party of 2...

The beef options are limited and what comes with the hotpot aren't that great. I feel like they mismatching the meat and stuff with the broth. I had the spicy taiwanese pot and the meat quality isn't that great. There is a lingering peppercorn after taste which I did not like at all. The noodle and dumpling were overcook.

This location is street parking, there's usually some parking on the sides but keep in mind they are metered. It's a decent sized location where we were seated right away. On a cold rainy night, there were a good amount of people. This is the type of hot pot where everyone orders and gets their own individual pots with pre-determined ingredients. We started with popcorn chicken, king oyster fried mushrooms and their super fries. The king oyster fried mushroom was amazing. The texture was like chicken and honestly I thought it was the popcorn chicken a couple of times. If you're vegetarian and want to experience popcorn chicken, this is a great alternative. Their fries were average, just abnormally long and comes with ketchup and cheese on the side. It makes me wonder if it's a big potato that they use, or if they deconstruct a regular potato to reconstruct it again as a long fry. I have 3 types of hot pot I normally get and usually places have 1 or the other, but this one had all 3: Tum Yum, Kimchi, or Korean Army Stew (I like the meats in it). The decision was hard but I decided to go with Korean Army stew like my gf suggested, and our whole table actually all ended up getting the same thing because it just sounded so good. No one wanted to budge on having a different pot on the table. The portion size was huge. We had enough to take home to have another dinner or 2. Other than finding parking, it's a pretty decent place to have dinner, especially on a cold rainy night, hotpot hits the spot.

Arrived during a holiday week on a Thursday night around 6pm and luckily it wasn't too crowded yet. The staff were friendly and helpful and they were able to combine tables so our group of 6 could sit together. Less than 30 minutes later, the whole restaurant was packed with big groups! Service was fast so I was glad we didn't have to wait long for all of our orders. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu and there was a good variety of appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts for selection. It was a little on the pricey side but we enjoyed our meal and will likely be back!
