Haidilao has the best flavored broth for hot pot. If you haven't had Haidilao before like I haven't, you don't understand. We ordered four different broths and they were all excellent- sichuan hot and spicy, tom yum, pork bone broth, and mushroom flavored. They let the customers use ipad tablet to order desired vegetables, meats, tofu, mushrooms, fish balls, appetizers, and whatever else you want that is on the menu. The customer service was great. The waitress came by and went and took away all the dirty dishes and dirty napkins to provide us with more space to enjoy our meals. I would recommend this place to others in a heart beat. I would also come visit this place again for sure in the near future when I am back in town.

Really enjoyed our meal here! We did 4 broths and they all were amazing. The meats were great, noodles were delicious. They did a whole dance while making the noodles, the kids loved it. Service was impeccable! Everybody we interacted with had amazing energy. I would say the only thing that was a bit of a negative for me was the price. Definitely amazing quality and experience, but it would be more a special occasion place for me than a routine stop.

What better place to celebrate Lunar New Year than a hot pot place? People have been asking me recently whether I've tried Haidilao so I figured it would be perfect to try out some huo guo on the first day of the year of the horse. I went with a friend and had reservations just in case it was super busy. We were one of the first people there at opening and while it wasn't busy at 11 the tables filled up later on. One thing that was weird was that you have to register with them on their tablet to be able to order anything. This involves giving your name, email, phone number, etc. I asked if I could opt out and the server sheepishly (despite it not being year of the sheep) replied no. Apparently you accrue points from each dining experience by giving away your data to them. Would you consider that a fair trade off? Anyhoo, after registering we got down to business and started ordering. A little explanation from the server would have helped in navigating the menu and getting information about the different food options but we muddled through OK in the end. If you order their signature noodles it comes with a hand pulled noodle dance where a noodle boss flings, twists and rotates a very long noodle in a Cirque du Soleil-esque fashion before putting it in a bowl for you to dip into your broth. It was quite a show! The noodle itself was delicious, having the perfect amount of chew. Our other food options were quite good, with the exception of the shrimp. It wasn't cleaned so unless you take out the vein yourself you're going to be tasting grit when you eat it after cooking. No bueno! The condiment bar had the most variety I've ever seen at a hot pot place. We made good use of the bar to make our dipping sauces and to indulge in some crispy crunchy shrimp flavored chips. The ambiance was modern and aesthetically pleasing. Everything looked well maintained. Service was slightly lacking. As mentioned before, we would have liked someone to explain the menu more to us and to check up on us more. We did get a refill on our broth so that was good at least. If you get to-go containers they come in paper cups with a plastic lid. The total was pretty pricey in the end, but we ordered with our eyes instead of our stomachs and had food leftover. It is very easy to accrue a lot of $$$ for the total since there are so many delicious sounding options!

Haidilao Mesa Just an fyi, this restaurant is not an AYCE KBBQ or Hot Pot Sauce bar is $2.99 per person We did the Miso Soup Base along with the Pork Stomach And Chicken Soup Base playing it pretty safe and mild. Dancing Noodle Piece is a must with the show at your table that it comes with as they dazzle you with the Noodle making and stretching. Fun and tasty Kobe Beef Belly Portion is a good selection for the carnivores and goes along ways. A5 Miyazaki Japanese Wagyu Ribeye Portion Pork Belly Portion Prime Rib Eye Portion USDA Bok Choy Napa Cabbage Went here for for a birthday and told our waitress and they did nothing which was disappointing. Overall service was good, I still prefer the AYCE, than this location. Maybe being fairly new, some of the details are not nailed down. San Diego location was much better.

First time being at Haidilao or any Haidilao location. They had a kiosk station outside to announce wait times and reservation list. Signing up was easy enough and would prompt a text when the table was ready so we got a moment to walk around until then. It didn't leave much time for walking because we were alerted right away. Checking in after that was a little chaotic. Staff seemed overwhelmed and didn't know what to do with us because they were attending to a customer at their gift shop. We were told to sit in the waiting area which was pleasant enough. There were free snacks and beverages. There are board games inside and outdoor games outside. I've never seen an establishment do this and that's a plus for me. Hospitality is the best quality I look for in establishments like this. They have a variety of soup bases to choose from and a sauce bar for an extra charge. We went with herbal, tom yum and mushroom. All were good, but tom yum was our fave. The three noodle set all had unique flavors. One especially tasted citrusy and was a welcome delight! The lamb was sliced thin like all meats and cooks quickly. All are à la cart so can be pricey. It at least caters to everyone's tastes and preferences. We also ordered tea and I noticed that it was over steeped. After mentioning it, they brewed a brand new tea for me! I could tell with first sip immediately. Even though we didn't order much, we left stuffed that night. Thank you!!

I had a very pleasant visit with the family celebrating a birthday. From the moment we walked in to we had arrived at our room, we were treated at VIPs. We were informed about the restrooms and the sauce station (extra charge) ahead of time. Due to the birthday, our room was decorated. What a lovely thoughtful gesture. The ordering iPad was easy to use. The food usually arrived within 15-20 minutes. There's always a water jug available to refill our cups. Tip: order 4 bases for the pot. All of the ingredients are so fresh . You'll have more variety and will enjoy your experience even more. P.s. the restroom has mouth wash!! Special shout out to Mike the host and our server, Kee Ho, for their exceptional service!

Sweet Potato Vermicelli, Mixed Vegetable Platter, and Assorted Mushroom Combo

We were excited that this place is finally open and wanted to try it to compare it with other Haidilao locations we've been to. The wait was maybe 5-10 minutes when we came on a Friday just before 7pm. We were in the waiting area after we received a text message then we're led to our table. It was super busy and the everything looked clean. We ordered what we have tried before at other locations like the Tom Yum broth and Mushroom broth as well as USDA Prime Ribeye, Kobe Beef Belly, Assorted Mushroom Combo, Sweet Potato Vermicelli, Mixed Vegetable Platter, and the 8-second Bean Curd Skin. They charged for the sauce bar so might as well utilize it. When we received our food, the Tom Yum broth and the Mushroom broth just didn't have the same flavor as other locations which was disappointing to us. In fact, everything else we ate was just okay to us and definitely not the same experience we had at other locations. They also don't participate in giving you freebies/toys if you say certain "secret" phrases to them like "Do I look like a kid to you?" or "I'm a little fairy". Our waiter looked at me funny then knew what I was talking about and said it's only California locations that do that which I thought it was all locations. Anyways, we thought this place was just okay and I'm sure there's room for improvement; however, it definitely wasn't worth the money to us.

This is a typical Haidilao restaurant, a brand that's extremely popular in Mainland China. This location is the first one in Arizona and is situated next to a very popular Chinese supermarket. This restaurant also has all the decor and a fun waiting area. What I love most about Haidilao is the high quality of the ingredients, the wonderful service (though there's still some room for improvement at this location), and the amazing selection of condiments. If you order the hand-pulled noodles, the staff will perform a noodle-dancing show while pulling them right in front of you, which makes the experience even more fun and memorable.

It was Saturday Night and we were trying to figure out what we were gonna do for dinner. We had already decided that we would go to the Mei Kong Plaza to do some shopping, and we figured we would eat at one of the establishments that were there. We hadn't had hot pot in a very long time, and we figured we would give Haidilao a try. I thought their concept was extremely interesting as they have a restaurant and a gift shop right next door that sells all types of cute Asian novelties. The restaurant is definitely family-oriented. They had a few areas set up for people who were having birthdays. I found the restaurant to be extremely well-lit, and the food presentation was very appetizing. I found it a bit challenging, going through the menu on an iPad, but that's just because I am an old-fashioned kind of guy. The food quality was very good and very fresh. I would advise at least one person in your party to spend the extra $3.99 for the additional bar so that you can get different spices to accent the taste of your food. In my opinion, my soup, which was the mushroom was very bland, and I needed to spice it up. I just wish I had had my Vietnamese fish sauce for that meal. Note to self: bring Vietnamese fish sauce next time I visit this establishment. If you pay the $3.99 extra, you get the additional appetizers and spice bar as well as dessert, which consists of various Asian delights, and you also have a choice of getting vanilla or strawberry ice cream if you ask your server. Our server was extremely personable and dead. A great job checking on us during our meal. All in all, it was a good experience and we will be back.

12.21.25 - Second time eating at Haidilao but first time at this new location. I first tried Haidilao about 8-10 years ago in Cali (Irvine location I think) and thought it was really good! Happy to see another hot pot option here in AZ. They do not offer AYCE option so it can add up! I was greeted as soon as I walked near the entrance and was handed a little welcome gift bag with snacks and a $10 off coupon to use for the next visit (expired 12/31/25). That was nice! The have a little waiting area inside with a mini snack bar with some refreshments along with a full sized bar as well. I didn't check which specific liquors they had. It looked limited though. There's extra seating outside too. Great service! I was checked on by 3 different people as I waited for my family to arrive. Our server, Duy, was great as well. Very friendly and helped my mom with all her questions and even made sauces for my parents. Order: Drink: Matcha Coconut for me and waters for everyone else Broth - tom yum and spicy pork bone broth. We left the other 2 as water to flavor ourselves. Meats - 2 different beefs, chicken, tofu fish cake, assorted meatballs, and the assorted seafood platter. Veggies - assorted veggie platter, assorted mushroom platter, tang oh and lotus root Noodles - handmade noodles and potato noodles Sweets: golden fried buns (free with secret code!). I didn't try anything from the dessert bar. It's not my kinda dessert Everything was fresh and good quality. Place is bright, clean, and really nice inside. Service was 5/5. Tom yum broth was delicious! I didn't try the pork bone broth. I highly recommend getting the mixed platters so you don't have to get a bunch of things separately. Things I didn't like and hope they can improve on: - wish the veggie platter portion was bigger. It just didn't seem like enough. You only get a few pieces of each - they charge for sauce per person. It is not included - we chose 2 broths but it would have been an extra charge to fill the entire halves of the pot. I've eaten enough hot pot to know how to flavor the 2 water ones well but others may not - update the website to include ALL of the items on the menu along with their prices per item so people can get an estimate or pre-plan ahead of time what to order They also had a little show with music and someone in a costume dancing. Im not sure how often the performance occurs or if at specific times. My brother treated my parents and I for our birthdays and forgot to take the breakdown receipt but I do know that the total was $252.52 with tip. And thats with the fried buns and 2/4 sauces deducted from the total.

Amber provided an excellent service. She was attentive to us, explained how everything works, from selection the different broths- either 2 flavor or 4 flavor. (You will end up paying around $30 just for the broths btw, unless you select hot water as a base which is free. Good idea if you just want two broth flavor only. 2 flavor/2 water) the recommended meat choice, and how the whole process works. If you never been to a Haidilao, it can be overwhelming since everything including the sauce bar is à la carte ($5). Since this is a high end hot pot, you're going to spend-$80-120 per person

You know at first I went because one of my friends begged to go but I was thinking nah it's over hyped and over priced not worth it. I went and BOY WAS I WRONG. It is so worth the hype. Yeah it's on the expensive side by the quality and service you get is worth every single penny. The foods was phenomenal. I love me a good hot pot experience but this took it to a whole new level. As soon as we got seated our server Emily pulled out a lens cleaner for my glasses, hair ties, snacks, and cute lil wet wipes for us. She kindly went thru the menu all with a smile. When we ordered our food we thought it would not be enough but boy it was delicious and filling. I tried the duck intestines for the first time. Wtf... it is now my favorite. DARN YOU SO I HAVE TO COME BACK!!!!! David the host was so so kind and so funny. He even got us from outside and let us know there is a table inside in the waiting area we can sit at. He (I KID YOU NOT) cleaned off the waiting area table and gave us snacks right after then showed us the complimentary watermelon drink. WHAT THE?! you mean to tell me there is a snack before the meal?!?!??!?!!!! WHAAAAAAAA. Anyways this was an amazing amazing experience and for sure I recommend you get the dancing noodle!!! I was going to post a video of it but it's better you go see it yourself:) Thank you Emily and David for making my the experience so good and welcoming. Will for sure come back!

This was a hard visit. I really wanted to like it but it was very hard to. The server was great! However the dinner was hard to enjoy. You decide between broths, and splitting 2 or 4. Then you select your meat which is a small portion for what you pay. There is a seasoning bar that you use, I didn't know so our broth was very bland. We had the beef belly and pork belly. Not my favorite. It was very busy but quick to provide the toppings which wasn't a lot. We ordered the noodle dance.. we didn't get it until we were done with the food. We ended up canceling it. Would I recommend? Maybe. Maybe on another occasion. It's very pricey so be prepared.

The food is great. I have been here multiple times having an array of their items and their sides…read more Everything has been great. Their soondubu (tofu soup) in particular is great. I recommend the mushroom if you like mushrooms. Bulgogi is great, seafood pancake is bomb, and the side dishes are always in point. The service is fine they are generally attentive and are usually kind.

Let me preface this review by saying we will be back here. The food was insanely good but the…read moreservice was lacking. It was our first time at a Korean barbecue place. The only prior knowledge I had about KBBQ before coming here was that you cook the meat yourself. We were confused on what was included in our menu option and we did not receive much guidance from our server. We asked how things were served but she said that it was confusing and hard to explain. This was really off putting. The servers were all very kind though. They were quick with our requests throughout the night but seemed to not be well organized. The food was AMAZING once we finally did order. It took a while for us to get started though because we did not understand the process. We finally deduced from our disjointed conversations that meats and certain sides are included in the $32 option. You can order 3 meats at a time and sides for everyone. After the food started coming out we began to enjoy ourselves. We ordered the regular and spicy bugolgi (these were the favorites), spicy octopus, shrimp and cinnamon pineapple. For sides we got fried rice, ramen, kimchi and potstickers. We were rushed into getting a new grill top and didn't understand why, but after the next round it was made extremely clear. The grill top needs to be changed out frequently because if it's not the oil and food remnants will burn. This wasn't much of a problem until we began cooking the spicy meats. The spices permeated the air and started choking us. We were coughing on hot pepper air and had to request a new grill top instead of being asked if we were ready to switch. This is how we realized we were the only seated table without a vent above our grill. Again the food here was great. Aside from the cinnamon pineapple. That was dry and unripe. It needed a glaze of some sort and the fruit itself was too hard. Everything we ordered was brought out quick and was nicely presented. We had tried to order veggie tempura but they were 86ed so they added some veggies on our meat platters which was much appreciated! I know we were a super needy table so thank you to everyone there. They were all very accommodating and helpful whenever we made a request. They seemed to be pretty short staffed so they took care of us well for how busy they were. I just wish we would've been given clearer instructions in the beginning so we would've known what to expect. We would go again though.

I went to go pick up breakfast for both her and her husband, and normally they do refillable breakfast as long as you are in the restaurant, but because they are still in the hospital, I couldn't come back to grab a refill, so Chara and Selma went above and beyond and prepared breakfast and a refill for each of them plus extra syrup!

After calling the McDowell store (the one we've gone to before) and asking if they had any, they apologized and said no. I called this location (Baseline and Higley), the girl who answered the phone said they had some. I asked her told hold me two. When we got there, it was between 5 and 6 pm. I went to the counter and told the girl they were holding two bowls for me. She asked what soup I wanted. I said that we were just needing the bowls. She rolled her eyes and asked if that was all. The wife wanted to get some cookies and we've never ordered them so didn't know who to order them, she asked if we can buy one or is there a bundle. The girl rudely said they have a buy 5 get 1 free. The wife asked if the brownie was part of it and the girl said yes. So she ordered 1 German chocolate brownie and 1 each of the cookies. When the wife asked what we had the girl said three brownie and 5 cookies. We said it only was 1 brownie and the girl sighed and changed the order. Even though this was not our mistake, the wife apologized and the girl said "no problem" like it was our mistake. I felt as we were being judged the whole time by the rude girl behind the counter Now, I am Danish and I make my own breads and bakery goods, I don't need to come in to this place. I did out of convenience and sadly enough, we will not be back.
