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.

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 :)

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!

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!

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.

great value hotpot but no frills…read more negatives: you're told to grab your own bowls, you're given a bunch of chopsticks to use for everything,we were seated at a table with a chair missing, and there was a super loud grating sound during our meal. the bar doesn't seem to have much good stuff so we just opted to eat from the flavorful broth. when being refilled for broth the servers don't even pretend to protect you from splashback. it's nothing bad but just not attentive compared to the typical flashy hotpot places. positive: food and price! the chicken cordycep soup was very very good, and the meats were all fresh and really worth it with bogo. the best one was short rib, the wagyu was ok, and the premium beef was very tough. the cuts were big and pretty thick though. beef tripe was a literal MOUNTAIN but didn't taste super clean - good enough especially for the price. in the photo, we already ate half of it. i didn't like the enoki mushroom because it had a little bit of an rice wine alcohol taste (like to preserve probably).

Happy to see a restaurant that allows dogs indoors !! So rare…read more I enjoyed the options at the sauce/snack bar but it's an additional charge . Includes fruit (watermelon & wintermelon), jelly desserts, and snacks like peanuts, seaweed, and pickled veggies. We opted for a half&half hotpot (the spicy butter & mushroom). They had a buy 1 get 1 free option for meat orders which was nice. Meat seemed fine. However all of us (party of 3) ended up with stomach issues and diarrhea after our meal. Not sure if the spice was just too overpowering or if something was off. This is definitely not my first rodeo of having spicy hotpot and I have never gotten diarrhea afterwards so I'm leaning more towards something being off here. I didn't notice anything but my friends both commented on a weird smell or taste with our spicy broth. Probably won't be back unless I have a doggo with me. Love the decor inside, you're transported back in time to imagery from the 80s , Chinese stars and anime.

I just found this new spot near the area I usually come to after school from Ohlone, and it's…read morereally on par with Tasty Pot in Newark, but Tasty Pot doesn't have scallion rice or the drinks there. Tasty Pot is good, but I notice their snacks are chained to the neighbor, Trunin Tea House. However, BoilingPoint is all in-house. The meat is amazing, and the service is good they keep checking up on me for my soup, and they ask if I need my fire off from the hot pot, which I didn't know was a thing. Their manager was so nice too her name was Han, and she was so attentive to her store and her employees. The food came out quickly. It really is a nice place to eat alone and with family and friends. Definitely recommend it if you want something fast, especially as winter is coming.

Ever since getting pregnant, I've been craving hot pot almost every week, and I've been coming to…read moreBoiling Point about six times during my pregnancy! I've always ordered the Korean Pot, but lately I've switched things up and started getting the Beef Hot Pot with mild spice. And let me tell you, their definition of "mild" is NOT my definition of mild. I would honestly consider it medium, if not very spicy! Every time I leave this restaurant, I'm coughing, so consider this your fair warning if you're sensitive to spice. I'm always trying to hold back my cough while sipping the soup, and I really wish their mild option were genuinely mild. I always ask for extra broth to dilute the soup and make it less spicy, but even then, it still has quite a kick! For some reason, this location is so much better than the San Jose location. The soup here is much more flavorful, whereas I find the soup at the San Jose location lacking in flavor. If you're deciding between the two, I would definitely recommend coming here! Pro tip: I always ask for an extra bowl and transfer all the meat into it when the hot pot arrives. That way, the meat doesn't overcook while I'm enjoying the rest of the meal. I add the meat back gradually throughout the meal, and once they turn off the fire, I pour everything back into the pot and enjoy the rest. Perfectly cooked meat every time! My husband and I also love coming here for lunch because we get free tea with our meals, which is always a nice bonus. Another tip: if you have a rewards account, they offer double points on the 15th and 30th of every month, so keep that in mind when planning your visit! Overall, Boiling Point has been satisfying my pregnancy hot pot cravings, and I'll definitely keep coming back. Just please make the mild spice actually mild!
