Boiling Point

I went there with my Taiwanese friend for dinner after a hike. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and ordering food was easy by scanning a QR code. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with soft music playing in the background. Our food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The scallion bread was especially good, not too salty and the stir-fried cabbage was cooked perfectly. The portion sizes were generous too. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family. It’s just a few miles from Highway 101 and easy to find using Google Maps.

The waitress was quick to seat us, but slow to take our order and even slower to refill our water. They used smaller paper cups for water, which I found strange. Giving the waitress the benefit of the doubt, I can understand that it might be difficult to tell whether a cup is empty. However, it would be best not to assume that everyone has enough water. I have been to similar places, like Tasty Pot, and the customer experience can vary quite a bit. The prices here are on the higher side, but the portions are slightly larger. I ordered the Thai tomato soup, which was tasty but definitely on the sweeter side; tom yum soup is not supposed to be sweet. It seems they added some sugar or sweetener to the soup base. We also ordered the House Special soup base (House special (stinky stinky pot in Chinese) The texture of the cabbage in the soup was enjoyable, but if you're unsure about this dish, you might want to choose something else, as the soup has a strong smell of stinky tofu and is definitely an acquired taste. Overall, the restaurant was decent. The lighting was dim, and the place was neat, but the tables were quite close together, making it easy to overhear other people's conversations.

I was a guest with my god daughter and her parents. Long wait on a weekday lunch (40 minutes). Inattentive young staff. I feel like they're missing a manager / owner presence. Lackluster food and if you're selling point is the experience then the experience you must have going for yourself, which they don't really. If you want hot pot and better service or experience explore elsewhere first

Taiwanese individual hot pot place that deserves more exposure! The stinky tofu is really good! The broth was a bit on the sweet side though…… Btw love the little sauce cans on the side!

I got the Milk Cream Curry Hot Soup and it was delicious! It had a very flavorful curry broth and a subtle sea salt foam on top. The sliced pork was clumped together, but was overall very tender and soaked up the broth well. The sliced potatoes and the fish balls were my favorite part! FYI: It came with vermicelli noodles already, so I recommend getting the rice as your free side. My cousin got the Korean Bean Paste Soup "medium" and it was really spicy for her, so be careful when you're ordering your spice level! This is located in the Osaka Marketplace plaza and it was very empty on a Friday night at 7:00 PM. A pretty small location compared to others that I have been to, but overall very clean interior. The staff are a little awkward, but they get the job done. I appreciate that they offered to give us extra soup broth mid-way! Very considerate.
