We went there for my birthday, everyone was very friendly. Service was quick & our server Adam had a great attention to detail, picking up our plates & bowls that were empty & very approachable. Would definitely recommend & will be returning. There was a special surprise for my birthday & it was the cherry on top on terms of experience.

Overall a bad experience right at the door. The waitress allowed multiple people to just pass in front of us.
There was no consideration that we were holding kids in our arms. We just went back outside immediately.

EXCEPTIONAL! you truly forget you're in the middle of Montreal.

It's not our first visit, but every time we come, we discover something new.

Today, we arrived without a reservation & were warmly welcomed by Rui. We waited in the fantastic waiting room filled with games, snacks, & more! Rui also took the time to clearly explain all the features of the restaurant we were curious about & was incredibly sweet. The service was impressively fast, we got our table in under 30 minutes, even though there were a lot of people waiting.

The waitresses who served us, Lily (& Koko on another day), were both really nice & welcoming. There was also another lovely waitress whose name we sadly didn't catch but she gave us dessert))

The broths & passion fruit juices are amazing, & the wagyu was definitely worth trying.

It's clear that the creator of this restaurant chain truly loves what he's doing. I wish all restaurants were like this every small detail is thought through, even down to providing hair ties. All the snacks are specially made for the restaurant. Honestly, the level of effort & passion here is incredible.

5/5 Stars - Worth Every Kilometer of My Questionable Life Choices.

I drove 2 hours-yes, TWO full hours-just to eat at Haidilao, & honestly, if I had to walk barefoot through a snowstorm uphill both ways, I'd still do it.

This place isn't just a hotpot restaurant-it's a full-blown experience. I came for broth & meat, but stayed for the complimentary coded snacks, the apron they insisted I wear like I was about to perform surgery.

They treated me like royalty. I dropped a napkin & three staff members appeared out of nowhere like ninjas to replace it. I sneezed & someone offered me a warm towel & possibly a life coach.

The broth? Magical. The meats? Tender & majestic. The noodles? Danced in front of me like they were auditioning for So You Think You Can Stretch?

Would I ever go to another hotpot place? No. I'm loyal now, even if it's 2 hours away.

Go to Haidilao. But don't blame me when you find yourself planning your next road trip with a bib & a craving.
