The servers explain how the combos work and they're constantly topping off our broths. Their combos include a soup base, main course, side, assorted veggies, Gokudo sauce, beverage and dessert. Soup: Their sukiyaki soup base is light with umami flavour and comes with a raw egg. This is a popular choice but my fave is their mushroom truffle broth. Main: my husband and I shared their AAA prime rib & lamb shoulder, both were delicious. Side: choose between rice or noodles, we upgraded to instant noodles. Beverage: drink of the day was milk tea and it paired well with the hot pot. Dessert: we had a choice between matcha or taro ice cream

Waiting time: 5/5 Cleanliness: 3.5/5…read more‍Service: 4/5 Taste: 3.5/5 Pricing: 5/5 Overall: We were in the mood for hot pot and remembered that Gokudo had a happy hour deal. We monitored the waitlist and joined it so that we would be seated around 9PM (that's when HH started). The service was good and our server was very attentive. The taste is really just the broth (I always get the Chinese herbal soup) and it was good and flavourful in the beginning, but of course after cooking some proteins and veggies in it, it does change the flavour. The quality of the meat and veggies were good, and the pricing is definitely worth it during HH because it was 25% off the bill!

Came for the late night (9-11pm) AYCE hot pot deal and it was a great experience! The food was…read morefantastic, and the ingredients all felt very fresh and prepared to order. The self service sauce and dessert bar adds to the premium experience as well. I wanted to try their advertised Wagyu beef and man was it fantastic! The meat melted in your mouth and wasn't overwhelming which extremely fatty cuts of Wagyu can be. By far the best AYCE hot pot meat item i've ever had, and I've been to many AYCE hot pot restaurants before. Shoutout to the shrimp paste and salmon sashimi as they also tasted fantastic. Ordering food was very simple; you order via a sheet on the paper to start but as the night went on, voicing the order to the very attentive waiter was all that was needed. Service at Dolar shop is always 10/10 and there was no exception during the AYCE service. Would 100% return for this late night AYCE deal as this was the best overall AYCE hot pot meal I've had.

They have a happy hour, which is a great way to get more value for your experience there…read more We went on Christmas so it was nice as many other the other non Chinese restaurants in the area were closed. I really enjoyed their sauce bar as they had a variety of different sauces to mix together to make your own custom. They also have servers there that can help you make their signature sauce. I think there was a little confusion with the order, and when we went at their non peak hour, it was a little inattentive, but not terrible. Worth going if you're in the Metrotown area and you want hot pot!

Haidilao Hot Pot Brentwood - 海底捞火锅 - Burnaby…read more Located at 2nd Floor of Brentwood Mall near their food court. We tried Bite of Burnaby at Haidilao. This is my first time trying Haidilao, I was so impressed with the service. Food was fresh, we opted for unlimited meat, we had beef & lamb slices. There is an extra charge of the sauce bar, about $3 plus dollars. That includes dessert & their yummy congee as part of the sauce bar. There's even a show presentation on a popular Chinese mythology figure, The Monkey God. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. Service is prompt & good, our server Elvis was attentive & most helpful. Trying to reorder meat on their iPad was a bit challenging, there's too many options. We had Elvis helping us with the reordering. You are offered ice cream at the end of your meal too. Decor was cute, clean & inviting Fresh food, great service, paid parking in the mall parking.

The staff checks in on you and just basically gives you what you need, before you even ask for it. And I like how the place is set up, so cozy and provides just the right amount of privacy for groups. Even the washrooms are superb. Wait may be a bit long if you don't have a reservation (we made a reservation but came 30 minutes early and wanted to get in earlier), but they offer free snacks and drinks at the waiting area.

They had a wide selection of ingredients to choose from. I love my seafood and meat balls but there were some unique ones that I don't often see sold at supermarkets. My favourite of the ones I've picked had a salted egg yolk filling. I went with the collagen bone broth which was flavorful but not heavy which is perfect for me. Servers brought out ice cream when our group had finished eating. The flavor that day was chocolate. It was a nice light dessert to finish off our meal. Overall would return again!

Had to wait for a few minutes to get the noodle I wanted, as it took them a while to get replenished. They didn't direct us to the right seats and ended up sitting at table with 4 seats. We flagged the staff and they had to move around other patrons. Food was good as usual. Broth was flavourful. Unfortunately the ice cream machine broke when visited, it was definitely a big bummer as it's something we would love to finish with. We did get some popsicle, but it's definitely not the same.

Nice that they have an outdoor covered area for large groups. $31.99/$34.99 for the regular/deluxe AYCE. They have a daily $21.99 lunch option (11:30am-3:30pm). Note: broth is an additional cost. Our group of 10 tried the house special original ($9.99) and half half broth ($11.99). Plum juice ($2.99) was tasty and refillable. Good variety of meats, vegetables and desserts. Enjoyed the lamb bone, pickled daikon/carrots, sweet corn, dumplings, black fish slices, lamb slices, peeled shrimp and fried bean curd rolls.

You order off the sheet of paper and some items had quantity listed but others didn't so I wasn't sure how to order. So we randomly ordered item. We got the 1/2 pot which was nice since we had a variety. The side dishes that were suppose to be available for self service was empty majority of the time. Only the rice & noodles were there all the time. They didn't seem to refill it very often. They were just ok anyways. The veggies were good and we weren't told what was what when they brought it to us so we just put it all in. Then we tried to get the check since no one really checks on you, it took awhile. Overall it's ok. Filled you up. 31.99 for regular or 34.99 for premium but we weren't that hungry. Ice cream at the end of nice!

One was the fatty beef with pork bone brother and the other one was the Chicken thigh with pork bone broth. The bone broth was average. Regarding the meat, fatty beef looks average. however, the chicken thigh still had ice when the meat was brought out resulting with a lot of water on the plate soaking the meat. The meat was very soggy and fell apart. Overall, i think the quality and price are quite average. the service was acceptable as well But i have to say their milk tea is good though

Several people who walked in had to wait at least 30 minutes. The service is quick and efficient, and they are fast and attentive with our requests or clearing our plates. The interior is a bit on the older side and outdated looking, and it can definitely feel muggy inside with all the continuously bubbling hot pots. I ordered the Beef Blade Eye Hot Pot Combo ($19.95) and I think it's a great deal. It comes with a plate of meat, a bunch of vegetables and side items like fish balls, tofu, shrimp, etc., choice of rice, udon or vermicelli, a drink, and a soft serve! I chose to get the udon, a yakult green tea, and the taro soft serve. The ingredients are decently fresh and everything is so efficient. I feel like you can't go wrong for all these things and at this price!

We went there for the all you can eat hotpot, which was $43.99 per person for dinner. They were pretty busy on a Friday night, although we were able to get a table because some reservation didn't show up. Medium sized interior with mostly booth seating, and the entrance is narrower and expands to the back. It's a personal hotpot so each person gets their own stove and order their own soup base. Ordering is done via a tablet. They also have cooked dishes like skewers, fried mantou and other things on the menu in addition to the hotpot ingredients. Some of the items cost extra and are labeled with the cost. In the center, they have the sauce bar, desserts bar of mostly Chinese jellos and also an ingredients bar with things like spam and quail eggs. I got the satay broth and it was decent. Ingredients are served reasonably quickly. The quality of the meat is decent. The milk-marinated beef is actually soft, and the usual sliced ribeye, lamb shoulder and pork belly are fine. The cooked dishes are decent as well, as we tried their pork trotters, fried mussels, and lamb skewers. The selection for hotpot ingredient is as you'd expect for an AYCE place, but the cooked food selection is a bonus. Definitely stuffed myself and was a satisfying meal on a cold winter day. Not the cheapest meal, but not a solid value.
