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.

Appreciate DADA's service! she is the sweeeeetest! !She recommended ordering half portions since we initially ordered toooo much😆 I have never encountered a restaurant where you can order half portions of a dish, which is a fantastic concept. We tried various dishes, & we hardly ever waste food!!Awesome experience🌟

This place is amazing. I went there with my friends & our waitress Chloé was truly amazing. She was very fun & professional. We had a great time. The food is very good too. It's not an " all you can eat" but the prices are very reasonable compared to the quality & the portions We ordered many servings & had 3 soup bases. We spent around 40$ per person in total, taxes & tip included - now that price may vary depending on what you order. My personal favorite was the tomato soup base. In my opinion, they have the best out of the ones that I've tried. We also ordered the flying noodles & it's a must if you go there! It's definitely worth it. We will definitely be coming back :) Cet endroit est incroyable. J'y suis allé avec mes amis & notre serveuse Chloé était vraiment incroyable. Elle était très amusante & professionnelle. Nous avons passé un bon moment. La nourriture est très bonne aussi. Ce n'est pas un "à volonté" mais les prix sont très raisonnables par rapport à la qualité & aux portions. Nous avons commandé de nombreuses portions & avions 3 bases de soupe. Nous avons dépensé environ 40 $ par personne au total, taxes & pourboire inclus - ce prix peut maintenant varier en fonction de ce que vous commandez. Ma soupe préférée était la base de soupe aux tomates. À mon avis, ils ont la meilleure de celles que j'ai essayés. Nous avons également commandé les nouilles volantes & c'est un incontournable si vous y allez ! Elles en valent vraiment la peine. Nous reviendrons certainement :)
