Boiling Point - Review - International District - Seattle - The Infatuation

"For hot pot folks who are kind of lazy (or nervous about accidentally ruining the pork belly), Boiling Point is the place to go. At the chain’s relaxed International District location, the meats, fish, and vegetables come to the table precooked in woks and re-fired at the table to keep the broths simmering. Purists may pine for more customizations, but what the restaurant lacks in frills it makes up for in flavor. The subtle sweetness of the miso pot packed with sliced pork, prawns, mushrooms, and silky tofu makes for a nice complement to the more spice-heavy varieties. And while the dining room doesn’t have robo-waiters or tableside antics, it’s still fun for groups who love chatting over a chopstick-wielded treasure hunt." - Gabe Guarente
