Boiling Pot - Davis

LOVE this place. One of my favorite hotpot places. I always get the spicy beef, oh so tasty! You can adjust the spiciness level for any menu item: none/not spicy, mild, medium, spicy, and flaming hot. Now, this place is one of those places whose spiciness is to be taken seriously. Meaning, the spiciness levels are the Asian and not the American spiciness levels (duh, it's an Asian restaurant). So, spicy means it's spicy, and flaming hot means oh-my-god-give-me-a-glass-of-milk-I'm-choking spicy. I eat a lot of spicy food and their spicy level gets me going. A friend of mine had their flaming hot and that was too much even for me (but this friend is crazy so he could eat the flaming hot lol). You should try their sweet black tea that comes with the meal during lunch time--it's good and so is the black milk tea. All in all, recommended!

The food is great! They also refill the broth if you’re getting low! Only reason for 4 stars is due to the smell. Other than that, the experience is great and the environment seems great too.

Fantastic and different experience. If you like Asian cuisine and spicy food you gotta try it. It's a bit pricey for my budget but well worth it. Plus, they have the longest bathroom I've ever seen.

Background: I ate here about 15 20 times. A good selection of hot pot options to choose from. The bowl is good, but the bowl is only moderately filled. My personal favorite is the Curry Fish Ball Pot. I didn't try the appetizers or drinks. Service is moderate, but mostly from the male servers. Many of the male servers talk to each other instead of looking around. Several times I was not asked, my order was straightened for my order. The server with the tattoos is an exception, although it is very appealing and nice. Most female workers actually react. Expected waiting time after an order seems to be enough somewhere from 15 45 minutes. On an occasion where I had tipped, I checked my credit card to see that I had $3 extra from what I had originally tipped. I called an apology, but I never got a refund for the extra charged tip. The toilet is clean.

Stopped by last autumn during a working trip to Sacramento. The soups were pretty interesting. If they had some chili paste and lemon to go with the soups, but that's just me. But it would have been great that they had other drinks options, the tea was too sweet.
