Boiling Point - San Mateo

Me and my wife come to this place every week. It's hard to believe we've been here so many times, but the soup is actually quite good and reasonably priced. Our favorite picks are the Thai Fusion and the Lamb Soup. Add extra Vermicelli and you'll be all set. Waiters are friendly and don't mind bringing you extra broth at no additional charge

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.

This is a hot pot you can eat in your own pot. The taste of the food I ordered reminded me of Hungchun's specialty in Taiwan's Kenting Area.

It's my second time here and I ordered the sea food combo. It comes with a bowl of rice and condiments. You are served this boiling pan that has glass noodles, lettuce, and sea food. Even though it was seafood it still contained lots of pieces of pork meat. So keep that in mind. The restaurant is quite cold itself inside in the winter so ordering this item makes sense to keep you warm. However, not so good in the summer. The food was just OK. I will not say this is something to get excited about. Service was acceptable. The owner has hired a lot of very young people to run the place. They seemed to be undertrained. I saw a waitress drop the lid of the condiments on the floor. She then picked it up and put it back on the container. If you're going to do it at least don't do it in front of all the customers . The restrooms were not well maintained either. Expect to pay about $20 for dinner. Parking in downtown San Mateo can be difficult.
