Review Summary

Reviews describe Haidilao as an exceptional, lively hot pot experience with fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and a wide sauce bar, set in a fun atmosphere with noodle dances and birthday moments. The service is consistently praised for attentiveness, friendliness, and going above and beyond to help guests, creating a welcoming, engaging vibe. Reservations are often recommended due to crowds, and some visits note brief delays or cold seating during peak times, but most reviewers feel the value and generosity of portions justify the price, and many say they would return with family or friends for another memorable meal.

The food is extremely expensive, & we ate but could have eaten more had we ordered more. The vibe was nice, but not at the same level than in China. This is because some waiters they hired are clearly annoyed, or it's because they do not understand the service standard of Haidilao in China, I don't blame them though. & the guys who come & bring us food don't say anything/are expressionless. Talking about food, while we did enjoy what we had ordered. The shrimps are not fresh. The vegetable portions are way too small. So that's a bit disappointing. Talking about vibe, Haidilao tried hard to mimic the hotpot scene in China. Some waitresses did perform dances for other parties - such as for birthday or kemusan, so that's nice. However there is not too much singing. & the dining space is a bit cramped, there is not much space to walk around without hitting someone: understandable since it's in a downtown location, but it's pretty annoying for clients, also for their staff. Lastly, the place is way too hot: it's a combination of heating, long rectangular dining area, too many people in such a cramped space, all tables emitting water vapor at the same time, as well as lack of air circulation. So it's not very comfortable sitting down. Just my observations. I still love Haidilao, prob won't come back to his one, but will still go to the ones back home. Thanks.

Very good hot pot--fresh, tasty food, fun performances, & outstanding care from our wonderful server, Gabe. They were the highlight & a whole vibe, & took excellent care of us all afternoon. ♥️♥️♥️ It's also nice to have snacks while you wait for your table, since there are no manicures or massages at this location (yet!!!). 😉

Today's dining experience was exceptional - the tomato soup was both delicious & refreshing. The quality of the fresh meat was outstanding, & the attentive service from Chloe truly enhanced our enjoyment. A big thank you to Chloe for taking care of us so well. We look forward to returning soon.
