Another Haidilao, another happy camper. This location, inside a mall (and ironically one floor below Din Tai Fung) is great. They offer free tea and snacks outside while you wait, they have claw machines, and the ice cream machine works! I went after 9 pm for their 30% off promo and it was so worth it.

We even got red envelopes!

As part of our annual Lunar New Year tradition, my close friends and I returned to Haidilao for hot pot and it reminded me exactly why this chain is so beloved in the states and China. Definitely make a reservation. Walk-ins were quoted around a three-hour wait when we arrived. Once seated, the staff were incredibly welcoming, walking us through the menu and promotions. Ordering by tablet was seamless. We did a half-and-half with the golden chicken broth and traditional spicy broth which was the perfect balance. I love that you can even opt for four broths for more variety. The sauce bar was fully stocked with complimentary snacks and impressively well-maintained (shoutout to the staff member constantly tidying esp since hot pot sauce bars can get chaotic!). The sweet bun appetizer was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. To top it off, they gave out Year of the Horse red envelopes with motivational quotes for Lunar New Year, plus little snacks to grab on the way out, such thoughtful touches! Great food, impeccable service, and a festive, memorable experience. Im really glad my friends and i celebrated Lunar New Year here.

We were in the area for a movie and were walking around Pacific Place mall when the host from Haidilao noticed us looking at their menu. They told us they had happy hour after 9:00 PM with 31% off everything on the menu. Happy hour?! What a surprise! I thought they only had happy hour midday. I was recovering from a cold and soup sounded great, so we walked right in. ​The last time we were here was a year ago during our annual Seattle trip. The tomato soup is our favorite, but we decided to have that along with the gold chicken and fish maw soup this time. The fish maw soup is very collagen-rich and comforting to drink. ​We also ordered the beef sirloin slices, lamb shoulder, and pork belly, all of which were top quality. ​What I like about Haidilao is the variety of items you can use to make your own sauce. Every time you come, it's a bit of a "choose your own adventure." ​Definitely one of our favorite places to visit!

I been to haidilao both in the US and in China. The one in the US is definitely not worth the money. You are paying a premium for the same food at other and better hot pot restaurants around town. I wish they had more options at the cold bar too for appetizers. Yes sure, the service is good but when I went there was barely anything that stood out to me. But if you are in China I definitely recommend you checking it out. It's a much better experience and isn't as expensive

We love coming to haidilao! Also their deal for lunch is such a steal just $25 pp for so much food we were stuffed at the end! They played fun upbeat music! Our server William was so awesome and attentive too!

Tomato Soup Base and Tom Yum Soup Base

Haidilao Hotpot was such a cool experience! I had never heard of this chain, but my coworker was a huge fan. Now I can see why! We made a same-day reservation for our party of 4. The restaurant was located inside a shopping mall and was very spacious. We ordered two soup bases - the Tomato Soup Base and Tom Yum Soup Base. For proteins, I chose the Kobe Beef Belly, but got to try a wide variety which included Australian Lamb Shoulder, Wagyu Beef, and two different types of fish. We also had Udon Noodles and Fried Beancurd Rolls. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious! The Tomato Soup Base was definitely the classic, but the Tom Yum Soup Base was easily my favorite. I also loved going up to the sauce bar and making my own sauces. I made one by following a posted recipe, but I also made a tasty peanut sauce of my own. The most memorable part of the meal was the Haidilao Dancing Noodle, where a staff member came out and danced with some long noodles before dropping them in the hot pot. Such a fun and unique performance! I enjoyed the robot servers, and every human staff member was friendly and attentive. Overall, awesome for dinner - I am now a huge fan of Haidilao!

Disclaimer: our visit to Haidilao was on Thanksgiving Day at 8pm. Knowing how popular Haidilao can get and due to it being the holidays, we made a reservation for 8PM online a couple of days in advance. When we arrived, there was a waiting area outside where there was a tablet to join the waitlist. We checked in with the host and let them know we had a reservation and they notified us that if a spot opened early they would let us know. In the waiting area there was even some mint candy (shaped like life savers!), some popcorn snacks, and both hot tea and cold water. The restaurant may not look like much from the front but the back is massive. It looked extremely clean and there was ample amount of tables. Each table has a number on the corner/side which is what the robot screens will show if they're delivering the food to your table. Under the table you're also able to change the heat of the boiling pot. Logistics aside, we ordered Combo A and my partner opted in for the All you can Drink as well. We got to select which items we wanted from Combo A and the items get added to the cart. It may show that you're only able to order one serving of short plate at a time but just check out and start a new order within the Combo A ;). For the All you can Drink, my partner got the mango drink which tasted like the mango syrup on shaved ice. They were out of the other drinks and only had the mango and soda options available. We also had to ask for the status of the drink because it never arrived even after placing the order for about 45 minutes. The protein also didn't come out till about 45 minutes into placing the order so I'm grateful we weren't limited to placing one order at a time. Beef Short Plate - extremely tender and even if we accidentally left it in the pot for a while it never got tough. French Fries - nothing to write home about, they tasted like typical frozen then fried fries. Chinese Fried Dough - loved it! My childhood memory-- they are on the oily side so if you're cautious about that that's something to note. Dessert was red bean and brown sugar jelly with some toppings.

Food - we did the premium ayce menu. I was so overwhelmed its hard to know what you want your first time there. And the iPad they give you literally has a countdown. We ordered a little bit of everything but I felt so bad cuz I didn't end up liking some stuff like the tofu skin! Youll never know until you try it though. There's plenty of items at the bar too. But the wagyu and the meatball mix were the best. The buns with the condensed milk were also really good but filling. And this soju had a really good flavor. Service - very attentive. Helpful. But omg I am so embarrassed cuz I tried one of their secret codes and our waiter said they don't do that anymore!!!!! He still brought us toys though hahaha appreciate him. Ambiance - very very busy! Like I made a res and if I didn't the wait would have been 45 mins At 6 pm. But when we left there were maybe 20 people waiting to be sat.

Haven't been to Hai Di Lao in a couple years and decided to check out the AYCE hot pot. We decided to go with the super saver feast - combo b because it's a better option for the choice of meat. With combo A, you only get 3 types of meat to choose from. When we were going through the iPad, there wasn't an option for New York steak slice, we asked the waiter and he apologized and mentioned that they are currently out of that product. It was unfortunate, which would've been a better cut than the beef tenderloin. It was too fatty. The broth I chose was the tomato broth and it's very flavorful. The Wagyu beef was good but you only get one per person. They also now charge $3.99 per person for dipping sauce which was complementary before. For pricing overall, thought it was overpriced.

Personalized setup
Julia Y.

This was my first time here. Everything from reservations and getting seated went smoothly. This place is adorable. From the super cute panda mascot to the little touches they add to make your experience memorable. You can a la carte or all you can eat. You can choose your broth and add on from there. Super easy and delicious. This place is definitely a splurge, but a fun experience nonetheless.

The multi chambered spicy and mild mushroom bases with the all you can eat, Wagyu, Lamb slices, noodles & dipping sauces.
Jamie G.

The all-you-can-eat deal with the added not all you can eat Wagyu beef is one of my favorite things on this planet. If I could find a way to justify driving to downtown Seattle every day, I would. It has become my favorite spot when I'm downtown.

Quail eggs, Udon, Tomato Soup Base, Mushroom Soup Base, Raw Egg, fruit, crackers
Tori D.

We had a great time at Haidilao! This was our first time at this hotpot, and everything was wonderful. All of the staff were very kind and attentive. The place was busy on a Friday night around 8, but still everything came out fast and efficiently. Every item that came via robot was actually delivered by the wait staff, as they were faster. We got the A set, which had plenty of options for us vegetarians. The tomato soup base is a must, it's so flavorful. We tried a little bit of most veg, all were worth trying! Our favorites were the egg and lotus roots. We also got the unlimited drinks which were super tasty. The sauce bar was fully stocked -we had fruits and dessert from it too. The restaurant is extremely clean and despite being modern in appearance, is inviting. The bathroom offers free mouthwash and toothpicks if needed! The staff also will give you hair ties, aprons, and plenty of napkins.

First of all, the oysters were outstanding! They have tanks here, so the person who takes your order picks your oysters. The oysters were uber fresh, briny and succulent. Secondarily, the salad was large and a nice palate cleanser w/ the lemon and fresh anchovies. The blonde waitress was really nice and brought me more anchovies. Next was the steamers (clams & mussels). Both shellfish were super fresh and cooked in a mild broth. The only thing missing was some frites. Lastly, the moqueca had a rich broth, and a little bit of rice to balance the broth. There was a ton of fresh seafood, and we dipped the sourdough baguette to mop up the broth. Regarding the ambiance, its open and casual. The tanks are in the center and you can see all the fresh seafood inc dungeness crabs. We interacted w/ three staff, and they were all super friendly & warm. We appreciated the great service, and were happy to pay the 18.9% service charge. Taylor has a few locations in Seattle, and I believe you can also do a tasting tour at their actual farms. After my experience, its no wonder they've been in biz since 1890.

Altho they were fresh, the quality was nothing compared to Taylor Shellfish. For dinner, I had the King Ora salmon over a Walla Walla onion ring and a bed of corn. The fish was really moist, and the chef thought this dish out well. Major downside tho was the $61 price vs a small piece of fish. Others had steak frites, crab roll & fries and clam chowder. I had some of the crab roll & fries, and both were really good. The roll was packed w/ fresh crab, and the fries were cooked twice. Again the only downside was the $45 price. Regarding the ambiance, its nice in here. However, the "half shell" seats leave much to be desired. They are too tight for 4 people. I sat on the outside, and the person to my left kept hitting me w/ her knees: She is only 5 foot. It would be impossible for an average height person to sit next to me. Lauren R was a very good waitress. She was attentive, friendly and on top of things. On the other hand, the kitchen did not space our oysters well vs the mains. It took a long time to get our mains. Two other tables that ordered after us received their food before us (major pet peeve for me). 3.5 Stars overall. The food is pricey (nearly $100/each - one person had clam chowder and no one had alcohol), and the "half shell" seating doesn't work for me. However, the staff is friendly and the food tastes good. I'm on the fence if I would return.

The chicken came with a side of ranch and mustard as sauces as well as some coleslaw. It's a fish place so can't be that upset on chicken taste, but some bites were on the meatier end than others, which weren't ideal. Based on that alone not impressed. Can't speak to anything else unfortunately. Varied menu (though pricey). Self pay parking lot.
