haidilao is definitely worth the hype!! althought wait times are long (waited ~1h even with waitlist in advance) & reservation tricky, its worth it! they try their best to keep u comfortable while u wait. they have seats at the front to wait. they also serve water, sometimes milktea & unlimited snacks & candy. the workers even offered us to go look at the mask performance even thought we werent seated yet. service is amazing. everyone is kind & enthusiastic. & u feel constantly entertained by the performances! our waiter gabe was especially attentive, helpful & nice! they offer you aprons, hair ties, gloves, eyeglass wipes, etc. the food is great & of quality. they have a good selection! they also have bundle/assorted options if ur not sure which mushrooms or fish balls u want. so u get a little of everything! which i thought was helpful for indecisive ppl or ppl who want to try a little of everything!! the restaurant is extremely clean! u can place ur jackets conveniently inside the benches u sit on. toilets are also super clean!! only downside would be that the restaurant isnt all u can eat, so that may be a problem for some.

THANK YOU GABEEEE for the great service & the friendliness. The warm welcome made us comfortable. This is truly the place if you would like to eat a specific amount of food. Your clothes don't even smell like food after exiting the restaurant.

Absolutely overrated & the food is OK. Quite on the pricey side but fine. Even if we booked in advance they let us wait 45 minutes before showing us to our table. Definitely better places in town to get hot pot
