Boiling Passion Stirs Up Hunger For Hot Pot on Convoy

There are lots of newcomers landing on Convoy, from the impending arrival of RakiRaki's new sushi burrito spot Pokirrito to the just-opened hot pot shop Boiling Passion, spotted by the mmm-yoso blog.

Locally owned, Boiling Passion seems to be a takeoff of Boiling Point, a popular Taiwanese hot pot chain with locations throughout Southern California – though none in San Diego yet. Though some eaters might be familiar with Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot, where raw ingredients are cooked in a communal vat of seasoned broth, Boiling Point's style is similar to Mira Mesa's QT Pot, where individual-sized hot pots come pre-loaded with a combination of meat, seafood, veggies, and more. Varieties range from Taiwanese spicy hot pot to Korean-style, curry, satay beef and Japanese miso, which can all be customized with extra heat or optional add-ons. A beer and wine license is pending.
