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

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.

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.

We had a reservation but it was pretty empty when we came and we probably didn't even need it.

The tomato broth was my favorite of the ones we tried. Their sauce bar is also quite extensive with a bunch of sides and desserts too - I loved their cucumber and kimchi!

When I found out they were opening a location near me, I was over the moon excited. I went with my boyfriend probably 2-3 months of the restaurant opening. We walked in, were told it would be a 45min-1 hr wait and put ourselves on the waitlist and shopped around the mall. When it said we were 2nd in line, we started back towards the restaurant but the yelp app no longer said we were in line. They were extremely busy and it took several minutes to get helped by someone after waiting, which was a frustrating start. Our servers were very helpful and prompt in bringing us our items. HOWEVER--I need to complain about them charging for a sauce bar. I've never in my life heard of an all you can eat place like this charging for sauce?? I maybe understand charging for sides and dessert, but the AYCE price seems substantial enough to cover what was there... it doesn't give the generous vibe that buffets or AYCE places usually do. For what we had (we chose the basic set), I would be hard pressed to pay much more by adding on drinks, a premium set upgrade, or sauces and sides. I think the food was good--there was lots of variety in the basic set and we definitely left full. After trying this though, I think I'll stick with my butane stove, buying broth packs, and having hot pot at home with friends.

This was on our radar for a while and our son finally talked mom into an AYCE experience!…read more She doesn't like it as much as myself..... We had a reservation on a Saturday evening but it wasn't that busy. Greeted and sat right away by nice staff. It's a bit of a tight table setup but quite well organized so that each diner can operate the heat of both their hot pot and grill independent of others. Quite a genius concept really and easily learned though odd for familiar diners of each type of cooking. They had this really good stewed pork and quail eggs and a large rice cooker you can help yourself to at the bar while waiting. It was so good I had that for my dessert. A very typical Asian family dish often left on the kitchen stove that we are familiar with. The beverages are included in fridges with many soda lemonade waters and other stuff to grab as you like. There is a huge sauce bar to mix your own. Love the sesame sauce mixed with other things! And a bunch of fresh fruit to help yourself to. The hotpot had a number of choices. Sukiyaki broth looked good and our son loved it. I chose the spicy Szechuan type red broth and ordered it mild but it was still quite hot. Honestly this wasn't as tasty as other hotpot restaurants and even mine I make at home with ginger and garlic is much better. Wish I chose the sukiyaki or basic beef broth like our daughter (it was tasty too). So I gave up after a couple rounds of that and stuck to the bbq. The bbq is small with parchment paper on a steel tray but it cooks up pretty quick and nice. Great general choices with many things available. Spicy pork was not the best I've had though and that's one of my faves. Excellent beef choices and pork belly. Whole head on prawns etc. The list is huge. Overall the service was quite fast and attentive clearing dishes and bringing additional items you order from a tablet. They don't do either type of bbq or hotpot as well as others but it's pretty close and so fun to mix and match! A little extensive but if you can eat a lot it's a fair value.

A great place to go with family or your lover. The all you can eat concept drew me here hahah. it is hard to find a solid "all you can eat" restaurant that is not only worth the price & location but also worth the food. You come in, choose your selection (per person that is) of what menu food you want (ranging from $35 to $45) and you're set. Though you have small portions, you can choose more if need be until you're full. If you're ever in Seattle, try this gem out. You'll love it.

I finally realized that wagyu comes in different tiers, ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most delicious and of course more expensive (which i don't think they offer here). 5 also has the most fatty and delicious wagyu that just melts in your mouth. I think this was a tier 2 or 1. That's all hehe.
