| - My husband and I went to boiling pot yesterday (I think I may have even seen the reviewer below me there?). The decor inside was very nice and elegant. A nice place for a special dinner even. The waitress was very nice, but I think the staff is still getting their rhythm- which I totally understand for a new place.
I ordered Boba Tea, the tapioca tasted fresh (it wasn't tough and rubbery, and still warm!) but the drink itself was very milky and had ice chunks in it versus being more of a smoothy consistency. Once again, this could just be the staff getting used to making them.
We got both beef and chicken broth. I was impressed by the varied selection of veggies - some different types of mushrooms you don't always see, cabbage, tomatoes, fish balls. We got beef and lamb to go in it. The fondue style was fun but we felt that the broths lacked flavor, so everything just felt like it had been boiled. In the future, I might try the spicy broths to see if they are better.
Despite the bumps though, I am excited about the concept (the place next door is also theirs, but with a more casual vibe, which I think is smart.) My husband and I will be back today to try the burgers. I really think it has alot of potential, so we will see!
Edit: We went back today to try the burgers and they were delicious. The meat was very well cooked and moist. We met the owner, who was very nice and attentive to my dietary restrictions, which I always appreciate. We will definitely come back for these. As for the hot pot, I think they should not worry about appealing to American tastes and just go for it!
Overall, I am glad we gave it a second go.
