Originally from Sichuan, China, in 1994, Haidilao Hot Pot is the largest direct-managed Chinese hot pot brand in China and a globally recognized Chinese restaurant chain, with the total number of customer visits now exceeding 1 billion.
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.
This was probably the best meal I had in Montreal. This hot pot restaurant is one of the most fancy (as well as most pricey) hot pot restaurant I had ever been to. Everything was top notch even the fancy bathroom & the little things they think about. At the table, there are racks that you can place your food on so that your table is not over crowded. They have special performance on the handpull noodle. There is an ipad at each table for you to order food. The staff was very attentive. There is a sauce bar that has variety of different sauces & some dessert options. You can order 2 different types of broth or 4 & the price is the same. As mentioned, this is already expensive to start out. The price for the broth alone is the most expensive I have ever seen in hot pot restaurants. It tastes good though
This particular store reminds us of the reasons why we fell in love with Haidilao in China, before they came to the States & tarnished the name with poor, slow service. The Montreal franchise really lives up to the original intentions of the founders with high quality food & service. Jess is, hands down, the best server we've had in years, attentive & consistent even after we paid early in a rush to get to another event. As a tourist, I didn't think our favorite restaurant in Montreal would be at a chain we've frequented all over the world, but we're definitely coming back whenever we visit Montreal!
Apart from being a bit pricey, there's nothing to complain about. The broth isn't too salty, taste with （little or) no artificial additives. The ingredients are fresh, & the kids always get fun toys. However, the portion of hand-pulled noodles has noticeably decreased.
Super delicious & the service here is awesome, 誒Mr. Wang is serving our table & he is excellent! The hot soup & tomato soup taste great, I like the beef & lamb, tofu are good as well, the noodle is incredible, great place great food & great people!
I came here for my friend's birthday because I was told it was a great place to celebrate birthdays. I was not disappointed. The staff was very friendly & helpful, especially Michelle. To start, we had to choose the broth for our hotpot. I liked the fact that there were many options for vegetarians, for people who don't eat spicy or for people who don't eat pork. They have a huge selection of meat & mushrooms or tofu. The quality was amazing. The noodle dance was very impressive. I also loved that I didn't come out smelling like hotpot, which is amazing!
We went for a birthday celebration. Food was good. There's a good selection of dipping sauces. Service was top notch! Our server even gave us hair ties & an apron! You can get freebis if you know the codes. 1 code per table.
❌Déçu! Pas d'explication du menu/concept en français. 👎🏼 Service en anglais seulement. Serveuse ne parle pas français. Nous y étions pendant presque 3h & il n'y avait aucun danseurs sur place. Ambiance ordinaire contrairement aux autres commentaires. L'expérience n'était vraiment pas à la hauteur de la réputation. Bons points: C'était bon, nous n'avons pas attendus à notre arrivés & les employés sont souriants même s'ils ne sont pas capable de nous faire des suggestions & expliquer comment le restaurant fonctionne en français.
