Boiling Bowl — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

We’ve dined at Boiling Bowl before, so when we found ourselves in Santa Rosa looking for dinner, we knew exactly where we wanted to go. Once again, the food was delicious and authentic—every dish was flavorful and satisfying. We ordered five dishes; one didn’t quite match the description, but the server promptly and politely corrected it, which we really appreciated.

One of the highlights for our family is that Boiling Bowl offers boba tea. Even better, they were happy to split one into two smaller cups for our kids—such a thoughtful and accommodating touch.

The ambiance is simple and unpretentious. While a few decorations on the walls might give the space a bit more warmth, it’s clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I love that their round tables have the turntable.

A final detail that really stood out: as we were getting into our car, the waiter came running out with the leftovers we had accidentally left behind. That level of attentiveness and care speaks volumes about the service. We’ll definitely return the next time we’re...

Had an amazing experience at Boiling Bowl in Rincon Valley! The restaurant has a sleek, modern vibe and a mellow ambience that makes it a great spot to unwind. The service was quick and spot-on, which made the whole visit even better.

We tried the beef pot with no spice (pro tip: specify "none" if you’re not into heat), and it was fantastic—loaded with clams, beef, mussels, corn, and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious and satisfying. The pork shumai was a standout too—large, dense, and packed with flavor, though heads-up, it takes about 15 minutes to prepare, so plan accordingly. The bao buns were pillow-soft and delightful, and the egg rolls? Crispy with perfect flavor. All the sauces we tried were excellent, complementing every dish beautifully.

Only minor note: they don’t have decaf tea, just green tea, so keep that in mind if that’s your preference. Overall, everything we ordered was a hit, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re in Rincon Valley, this place is a must-try! Let me know if you'd...

Second visit: Disappointed, so I lowered my review. We ordered a two-person multi-course take-out meal, and when we opened the containers at home, it was completely wrong, and the food was very disappointing compared to our first restaurant experience.

Wow what a nice find tucked away in this little strip mall. We have not found any Chinese restaurants we really thought highly of but boiling pot is really trying hard to prove itself. We had pot stickers which were meaty and large plus pork shumai and it was also very nice and large. Really nice quality and size. Then we ordered the house special shredded beef and the shrimp with walnuts and both were fresh and I think high quality for Chinese restaurants. We also had the house special fried rice to share which was so good as well. In the end we ordered too much food because the portions were generous! So good and fresh. But we have a second dinner from the...
