**FOOD SAFETY CONCERN** DANGER **…read more We are a table of 9 adults (7 of them seniors) and 1 baby. If you bring a baby, they do not have high chairs, only booster seats FYI. We called ahead since we are a party 6+. We had to try multiple times because our call was left unanswered.. Overall food was great .. until I found something shiny stuck to a shrimp in the hotpot. I was able to figure out what it was once I took it out. A flexible SHARP STEEL filament - Likely from steel wool. GROSS!!!!! And DANGEROUS!!! After I found that, it ruined my appetite and night. I became paranoid and worried about my family biting into steel. Will this result in a trip to the hospital? The server was apologetic and helped us change the broth immediately but honestly I wish there was more from management. It's not like finding a strand of hair. This is serious!!! Daimaru's lack of food safety and poor hygiene is unacceptable. I am still fuming that this happened. They are lucky I found it before any of the 7 seniors found it stuck in their throat or intestines. The nice servers had to hear our anger and frustration. Eventually after the second complaint from us did the manager finally decide to come in personally and address it. Should have addressed it the moment it happened in my opinion. If you eat here, eat at your own risk and check your food carefully. Attaching our receipt of the resolution: 10% off our entire bill. Won't be recommending to anyone.

I really appreciated the effort they made to reach out, invite me back and try to make things right. During this visit, the service was much better and the staff were very accommodating and attentive throughout the meal. Food was delicious as always. I tried the laksa broth for the first time and it instantly became one of my favourites super rich, flavourful and comforting without being too heavy. Everything we ordered was tasty, which reminded me why I've always enjoyed Haidilao so much in the first place

I think their English was a bit limited but we made it work! The food was delicious and what I expected from a Hai di lao. They also have AYCE and meal combo promotions that I have to try! Standard sauce bar, lots of freebie snackies and mints. I loved the triangle-shaped crackers that they have available on the first floor upon entry! They also gave me a free packet of tomato soup for saying the phrase "I love your soup!" I forgot we couldn't bring liquids on flights so hopefully a hotel staff got to enjoy the abandoned tomato soup! :p

Not only was the restaurant theme absolutely breathtaking (which was a huge surprise for being in an industrial area), the variety, flavors, and value were AMAZING. I really like the cordyceps flower, red date, and goji berry broth as my base, which is basically an elevated chick/pork broth. They have at least 10 other bases to choose from without and "premium" charge like other places. Classic sliced hotpot meats are ordered through their QR code menu, but mostly everything else is self serve. All I really eat off the ordering menu is beef belly so I get the rest of my proteins from the self serve buffet. They even have frog legs!! Which I'm still working up the courage to try but how often do you see that as an option for ayce?! For $29 +tax & included gratuity, they have a very large and high quality selection of food, as well as a large drink selection if you're feeling boozy of if you're into milk tea (additional cost), and pop is bottomless. They're also open until midnight, however they stop seating people past 10:30. Parking is validated for up to 4hrs in the complex's attached garage. I'd also like to note that this place is NOT halal or allergy friendly! Because of their self serve buffets it's really easy to cross-contaminate seafood, seed, and nut items. I also wish their seating was more comfortable, the chairs and benches are unpadded wood, which are beautiful but can be a little uncomfortable if you're staying for an extended period of time. Tbh the place and selection are just so big that if I went on about every little feature I'd probably max out the character limit for this review, lol. Just take a look at the pictures and videos I shared and you'll get a good idea of what to expect! 1000000/10 You won't regret coming here. ( )و

They even have mala frog legs, pork intestines and chicken wings too. Lots of hotpot items to choose from and you can place the order on your phone. They have sauce station as well as quite a few dessert options as well. Rice in wine with rice balls, chinese jelly, white fungus dessert soup, Crysanthemum goji berry jello ans fruits. And last but not lease free pops. Coke, ginger ale, diet coke. For this price and the variety of foods available, it's definately a great value! TIPS: Free parking lot building beside the restaurant and the restaurant will give you the free parking ticket when you get the bill.

A great bonus that this place is fully halal. Definitely be more careful with the portions as it does get easy to order more than you expected. It was a good experience - wasn't anything too fancy in particular but great spot to go with friends. It wasn't too crowded during early afternoon hours on a weekend, so there was no need to make a reservation.

A very heartwarming hot pot experience for all!…read more Hidden in the corner of North York close to Fairview Mall, Beijing Hot Pot Restaurant is a great spot to share a comforting meal with friends and family. Using a traditional copper hot pot that you would find in Beijing, this spot has a good all you can eat menu with lots of fresh meat, vegetables, and seafood to pick from to enjoy with a variety of broths from spicy to mild. Using freshly cut meat, you can taste the meat alongside the make your own dipping sauce bar right at your table. The atmosphere of the place is very comforting despite its small size where you can have a good amount of space to reserve for your crew! I can't wait to come back!

Two of us rolled into this popular spot on a Wednesday evening wearing our stretchy pants ready to…read moreand eat were not disappointed! For me, this was my first time at a Liuyishou and it was quite the eye-opening experience. The selection of meats and veg to boil is impressive! Since my dining partner was well-versed in Sichuan hot pot I got to try some interesting items for the first time, like intestines and bull frog and had no problem with these novelty items since I had someone to recommend them and guide me through the process. She said some people will watch a clock and time some of the more sensitive items to make sure they don't overcook, although we didn't bother and focussed on stuffing our faces as quickly as possible. In addition to the free lemon water, we ordered a pitcher of Sapporo for $27 seemed a bit on the pricy side for a non-import brew. (Sapporo owns Sleeman which is in Guelph.) The ayce price for two was $66 (all prices without tax/tip) plus a two-flavour soup base was another $20 on top of that. So it was $153 with tax/tip for two of us. (Lunch is cheaper) For the two flavours of broth we had one super spicy Sichuan, and the other a milder bone broth one, which offered a nice contrast to try each broth with the various items. Since the atmosphere is bright and airy, without much for sophistication or decor, this would not be my first choice for a date night spot although the food is impressive, the vibe is not overly romantic and pretty basic. I can see now why it was not very busy that evening in May when we went with a price of over $150 for two, it was a good experience but you can do better for an intimate atmosphere at that price point.

Seating is fairly comfortable and the layout works well for groups. Overall, a solid place if you're going in with friends. They have the tables where everyone has their own grill for their own broth or the classic sharing broth setup. Service 4/5 Service was smooth this time around and we didn't feel rushed (there's 2h dining limit), which made the experience much better. Staff were attentive when needed and quick to clear plates. Wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night. Staff can speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin. Not the absolute best hotpot you'll ever have, but definitely a reliable and enjoyable spot that's also open late Food 4/5 Went with the triple broth, which is always a good move if you want variety. The all-you-can-eat setup is solid with a self-serve station that has the appetizers, sauces, and dessert bar. Lots of options to mix and match, and everything comes out quickly.
