If you’re looking for a flavorful and satisfying hot pot experience near UCSB, UniBoil is a top choice. Located in Goleta, just a short walk from Isla Vista, this spot offers individual hot pot bowls with a wide variety of broths and fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can customize your meal with options like spicy Szechuan broth, tomato base, or herbal blends, and pair it with noodles or rice. The meats—like Angus beef and Kurobuta pork—are always tender and delicious. Everything is cooked right at your table, making it a fun and interactive dining experience. The drinks menu includes refreshing options like Thai iced tea, and their desserts—such as black sticky rice with coconut—are a great way to end the meal. The place is clean, cozy, and has a welcoming vibe, making it perfect for students and locals alike. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something bold and spicy, UniBoil delivers a consistently great experience. Highly recommended!
Very tasty loved the mango Boba. I also got popcorn chicken (i ordered popcorn shrimp but got chicken. No problem, though it was tasty ). I also got calamari balls. All over it was good. Will be coming back foreshore.
Delicious individual hot pots, soups, and other dishes, and friendly and efficient service! Their food is so satisfying, especially during cooler weather, and they have a wonderful selection of teas and fruit drinks as well.
I ordered the spicy ramen and it was so good! The egg and noodles were so delicious. It a took a little time to order and get the check but the employees were friendly. They have a booth side, I did notice it took some time to also clear some tables.
GREAT FOOD QUALITY & BEAUTIFUL DRINK They have a diverse menu where you can get a range from different hotpots to rice plates and to noodle soup bowls, with a reasonable price (about $20 for a hot pot and $14 after tax) :D (They have Vegetarian option for soupbase but it's not on the menu, you will just need to tell the server) The food are delicious. I tried their numbing hot pork feet hotpot, amazing, i suggest you getting one if ur ok with animals feet. You can also do a side of it, comes in 6. I just really want recommend their pork feet:''D It's not that spicy. Customer Service: Yes, I could tell that one of them is probably new. I went in at a busy time so they were running around a lot. Anyways, could be better :b Togo orders are packed decently too :D
