We stopped by Haidilao for the first time on a random Wednesday dinner and my goodness the total adds up quickly. Just choosing our two broths started our tab at $35 without meats, vegetables, sides, etc. The price for each item was higher than I expected. The food though was great and I absolutely loved the Tom Yum broth. Additionally, the service was amazing -- they checked up on us frequently, removed plates quickly, and the person greeting you at the door was extremely welcoming even though we were in shorts and a tshirt since we didn't know this was a higher end hot pot restaurant. The staff are dressed formally and are very friendly. This would be a great place to dine at if you want a wonderful experience with great service.

My wife has been asking me for over a year to try this restaurant because of the famous League of Legends team, T1. Apparently, this is one of T1's favorite hot pot spots, so we finally decided to give it a try today. From the moment we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming service. The staff had aprons and hand towels ready for us, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel very accommodating. As for the food, I think the soup base could use some improvement. In my opinion, it lacked depth and could benefit from more flavor. I also think an all-you-can-eat option would be a great addition to the menu, rather than offering only set combos and à la carte selections. Overall, the excellent hospitality made a great first impression, and with a few improvements to the food and menu options, I think the experience could be even better.

$3.99/person sauce bar and snacks

Had an excellent dining experience from start to finish. Very fun especially if you bring a toddler. They get a bunch of free stuff, including a kid's meal! Although they don't have AYCE (I went home hungry and ate another meal) you're essentially paying for their impeccable service, dancing noodles ($5), fresh ingredients, and a good time. Birthday people get a free slice of cheesecake!

NOMd: seriously tried so much but my favs were the spicy pork broth, sweet potato glass noodles and the beef skewers.... those beef skewers are a MUST. we literally got 6 orders which still wasn't enough. service, etc.: we went for a birthday and they really go all out here with the decor, photo opps and goodie bag. the dancing noodles are super fun and cute too and tasted so fresh and good. i wish they had at least one extra large table to accommodate larger parties though we were super crammed with the 9 of us.

Had a great experience at Haidilao! The food was delicious, and the hot pot broths were so flavorful. The service was also excellent--everyone was super attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They also have great milk tea! Great food and amazing service. Definitely recommend!

Yay! Finally got to try Haidilao after SO long. I have always tried the instant hotpot kits and soup broth kits at home, it's nice to have finally gotten the chance to try it. Parking is very doable! It's located in a corner of a big plaza. Once you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately if available spots are open. It's pretty spacious inside, it never feels like you have to squeeze past tables. It's very well maintained, everything is clean and it looks so cute inside with little decor everywhere! They seem to have a lot of promos depending on the days you go, but mostly for lunchtime on weekdays I believe. The pricing can be a little steep for certain items but honestly i still think it's decently priced for the most part. You pay separately for the salad bar and the soup broths are charged individually. The order process is easy, you order off a tablet but the staff will guide you through ordering and everything on your first visit. The staff is super attentive so your table is always clean and they will go over special item orders and when to best enjoy them based on cooking times. Overall, if you head to Haidilao, you are heading in for a good time. The food is great, services is great, and the atmosphere is very comforting . A fun place to visit with a small group or even by yourself if you're hungry enough :)

The lunch combo was a great deal! For $27 you get protein, veggie or mushroom or tofu, side dish and carb, and soup base. Senior discount available at $20 for the same combo. You still have to pay $4 per person for the sauce / salad bar. You can opt out if you are okay eating without the sauces. Service has always been attentive at this place. You still get an apron but now it has changed to paper apron. Everything else is pretty much the same from when this place first opened its doors at the Fremont location. There is also a late night happy hour special where most dishes are 31% off. It's easy to overorder when there is a discount so watch out for that. So far Haidilao has been my favorite place for hot pot, and I cannot wait for more Haidilao in other Bay Area locations such as Serramonte.

Came here for a birthday dinner (adult) and keep in mind this is a review for summertime. Parking in the mall area was easy. We were seated outside and it was hot. Unfortunately, the air they have setup outdoors does not cool you down. Between the spicy soup and spicy sauce I ate, I was definitely feeling the heat. I recommend sitting indoors if you can get that reservation. Food was good and we had soju (order one at a time or it gets warm), we ordered rib eye, lamb, vegetables, and up to 4 different soups bases. The robot servers were cool and if you mention the secret phrases they do give you a freebie for the table not per person. Dessert was ube or vanilla ice cream. They sang happy birthday and we ordered the hand pulled noodles which came with a noodle dance show. They also sang happy birthday and gave the birthday girl a matcha cheesecake. It was fun and we all enjoyed the food.

We came here for an after work gathering, and everyone had a great time! The last time I visited this restaurant was probably back in 2023, so it was nice to be back. We had a reservation and were seated quickly upon arrival. We chose four different broth bases, and all of them were flavorful. We ordered plenty of food along with a few pitchers of beer. They offered a wide selection of meats and hot pot ingredients, so there was something for everyone in our group. We also got to enjoy the face changing mask performance and the noodle dance! Highly recommended!

Great food and service, but be prepared for a long wait. We were seated after an hour on the waitlist. The soups (tomato and spicy pork) were delicious and served quickly, however our hotpot food items took nearly 45 minutes to be served. We were so hungry and drank a lot of soup while waiting for our food. LOL The waiter told us their kitchen was too busy, he was sorry for the long wait and offer us dessert. We also had to remind them on a missing fish fillet. The staff apologized again and offered a $5 discount. At the end of the meal, we checked the bill and found out the $5 discount was not there and they charged us for open sauce fee which we didn't order, and there was another 15 minutes wait to get our bill corrected. Total dining time was 2.5 hours + 1 hour waitlist time, record breaking for us. Never had hotpot meal taking this long.

Wagyu beef tower
Jenny H.

Truly the best place for a birthday celebration! They aways go above and beyond to make the evening special. We ordered the following and highly recommend this combo! - 4 types of soup bases. Tomato soup base, pork bone broth, spicy beef soup base, tangy passion fruit soup base. I loved the tomato and tangy passion fruit! So flavorful. - Wagyu beef tower. Just dip for 10 seconds and you'll get it perfectly cooked. - Seafood platter. They give you quite a lot! - Dancing noodles. Always so fun! They let you select the song, so I chose Swim by BTS ;) - Mixed vegetable platter. Always a good addition. - Mushroom platter. Love this and would get it every time. - Tri-color vegetable noodles. Remember to not overcook! - Seasoning buffet. A must. So many side dishes and dessert options. Snacks too! The snacks are too good. Get your secret codes ready for more free stuff! We also got a kids meal because we have a baby.

Heard this was a popular place so decided to try it out and see for myself! Right away, as we go to the entrance, we see a cart of snacks and drinks. Gave me a good impression. Thought that was a nice gesture for those people waiting for their table. We were seated right away and there was no line for a Friday night. Once we were seated, we were given a bib/apron, hair tie, snacks, and wet naps. Thought that was a nice touch. I use the restroom and they have complimentary mouthwash and feminine products. Thought that was nice too. My friends and I ordered four meat dishes and tripe initially, just to see how much we could eat. The meats were good. The tripe was okay. The soup was good. Ordered the pork bone broth. But sadly to say, after spending $130 (before tax and tip) on just those items, we were still hungry. We decided not to order anymore food and just go somewhere else to satisfy our hunger. I left disappointed. If you want to be entertained, then yes, they had this man in a mask dancing when we arrived. They also have a noodle dancing guy. They also celebrate birthdays.

I was here!
Mike R.

Just went there today for a birthday. This place is over rated and over priced. I didn't appreciate the server telling us to leave in ten minutes because they had reservations coming in. Mediocre food, high price and rude service. I don't understand why people rave about this place, I'm certainly not coming back with so many other hot pot choices to choose from.

This was a typical Cantonese style eatery where you would get together for family gatherings and/or to celebrate events. The decor had the usual elements that you would expect from such a place: crystal chandeliers, fish tanks, gold columns, and giant TV screens. We tried their 10-course banquet-style dinner that they were advertising for $488 (before tax) and I believe this special was only available on weekdays. Portion sizes were extremely generous, and they did not skimp on the ingredients either. The banquet courses included delicacies such as suckling pig, geoduck, whole fish, and lobster to name a few. This meal easily fed ten people, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was such a great value that towards the end of the evening the restaurant sold out of their banquet special. Overall, the food was pretty good...even though they did overcook the lobster. They have their own huge parking area, so it was super convenient. The dining area was very spacious. The service was casual and efficient. I went to dinner with no expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised. This place impressed my family that they even came back the next morning to try their dim sum.

The variety makes it especially fun when you're with a group since you can order a bunch of different things and share everything around the table. Also, the cart servers are truly superwomen/men! I'm not sure how they move those carts around so quickly lol. Definitely part of the fun of the whole dim sum experience.

My family and I have been coming here for years and it's never disappointed us. We enjoy many of their dishes, but their Beef Chow Fun, Mongolian Beef.

Unfortunately, the theory failed me this time. The service was great, which should have been a red flag for me. The guy at the window was really friendly and helpful--he had us laughing the whole time. The food came out within minutes, even though we ordered 3-4 à la carte things. That should have been the second red flag. We really wanted to like the food because of the service, but the food was greasy and super salty. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, house chow fun, and walnut prawns with egg rolls. Sweet and sour chicken was average--not good or bad. Chicken chow mein was in a pool of soy sauce, way too salty. House chow fun was supposed to have shrimp--it literally had two. This too was drenched in soy sauce. Lastly, the walnut prawns were not bad, but again, we can get those anywhere else--no need to come back here for them. Overall, probably will not be back for their food. It is really sad because we really enjoyed the service.

We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.
