FOODIE | Boiling Avenue

A Taiwanese Hot Pot restaurant finally opened up in Sacramento! I've never been to one before so I decided to go with my friend to try it before I had to go back to Davis. When driving to the location, my friend and I actually had a hard time trying to find it, but we eventually found it. It is right next to a La Bou but the sign was partially covered by the trees surrounding it. As we walked inside, I noticed how nice the ambiance of it was as well as the theme of the whole restaurant as a whole.

To my surprise, my friend and I were seated right away. I was prepared for at least a 20-30 minute wait since we went around dinner time and many reviewers said they had to wait at least 30 minutes on a friday night. The waitresses were very kind and explained the menu to us. They had self serve lemon-lime water on the side too which was nice.

Many reviews suggested getting their milk teas so we each got one. I got the Matcha Milk Tea [left] and my friend got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea [right] without tapioca pearls. They were both delicious and had so much flavor to them. I definitely recommend them to anyone who goes.

Soon after our drinks came, the hot pots came out! I ordered #2 Korean Kimchi and my friend ordered #1 House Special. There is an option for the spiciness level [mild, medium, hot] and a list of add ons (which we didn't do because it would've costed us extra).

I would say it was a pretty decent experience because it tasted pretty decent since the taste of mine was overpowered by the kimchi and the flame for my pot wasn't boiling my food as quickly as my friend's. In the end, my food did cook (but at a slow pace) and I was filled up after eating majority of it.

To anyone in the Arden Sacramento area, they should definitely check out Boiling Point at least once. The price is around $14 for the pot alone and $3-4 for the drinks which is pretty good. It was a pleasant experience and I might end up going again when I go back to Sacramento.
