They are serious about the spiciness here! If you love heat, this is your place, though I'll probably stick to the milder broths next time. The broth was well-flavored and the meats were excellent quality. Compared to other hot pots, the vegetable selection is a bit more limited, and they offer a variety of paid drinks like milk tea and canned sodas. Pro Tip: Definitely save room for the Korean Shaved Ice. It's light, delicious, and way bigger than it looks in the photos--one was more than enough for me! We will definitely be back soon.

Including drinks and changing the seafood / freezer items was probably one of their best decision ever. While the interior layout remains mostly unchanged, prior to the change I was a little worried about their business because it seemed kind of slow after other new competition opened in the area but I'm happy to see them make changes for the better and thriving. Meat quality is excellent, service is friendly and now they include a homemade shaved ice dessert which is cool. The only unfortunate thing is that they've bumped up their "basic" menu quite a bit and kinda priced me out of what I would call a quick casual go-to meal. While I am happy they are doing well, it's just not a place that I can frequent anymore especially being that my wife doesn't eat that much anyway. Would have been nice to have a slightly lower tier option available as not everyone cares for Wagyu. Definitely still an authentic hot pot experience though!

From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely focused on ensuring we had a great experience. The level of hospitality throughout the restaurant was exceptional, and it was clear that customer service is something the team takes great pride in. Dylan was particularly wonderful. He was attentive, professional, and incredibly thoughtful throughout our visit. He consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and helped create a warm, memorable atmosphere for my sister's birthday. His kindness and attention to detail made us feel truly valued as guests. What impressed us most was how seamlessly the entire team worked together. Every interaction was friendly, efficient, and genuine, creating an experience that felt far beyond a typical restaurant visit. The food was fantastic, but it was the service that made the evening unforgettable. Thank you to Dylan and the whole Haidilao Frisco team for helping create such a memorable celebration. We left with full stomachs, great memories, and will happily return to this branch. Highly recommended!

TOTALLY OVERRATED -- PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES!…read more Unfortunately, my experience at HaiDiLao Hot Pot Frisco was extremely disappointing. I chose the Premium option, which was almost $50, and for that price I expected a much better selection. The meat section was very limited, and the vegetable selection was honestly pitiful. I've been to many Korean BBQ and hot pot restaurants, and this was by far one of my worst experiences--especially considering there is no Korean BBQ included for the price. But my biggest concern was FOOD ALLERGIES. IF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS FOOD ALLERGY, PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL. I have a potentially fatal food allergy, and the setup made me very uncomfortable. The burners and soup bases are positioned right next to each other, creating what I felt was a risk of splashing or cross-contact if the soup base beside mine contained something I'm allergic to. For someone with a life-threatening allergy, that is not something I can take lightly. High prices, limited selections, and an experience that left me worried about my safety made this an easy decision for me. I WILL NOT BE BACK. If you have food allergies, please ask detailed questions about the setup and cross-contact precautions before you eat.

The cheese corn was especially delicious and I wish I could've eaten more of the pancake (but I got really full). The ladies running it were so nice and attentive. I'm really grateful for them. They kept asking us if we wanted more and were really on top of things whereas some other places I go I might feel I have to flag someone down. I also really liked the older kpop playing. Price is pretty typical for this type of place. If the meat was slightly better (marinated longer) I'd give five stars. But make no mistake everything else about it was a 5/5 for us. I'd go back and just eat side dishes if I could honestly.

We ended up choosing the following: -Shrimp Tempura (3/5): standard tempura but a little heavier than I'm use to. -Fries (5/5): seasoned well and crispy! -Soup Base: Sukiyaki (sweet & sour) and Tonkatsu (creamy pork broth). Our fav was the Sukiyaki. -Meats: A5 Wagyu, Wagyu Toro, Pork Belly, green mussels and Salmon Rose. Fav- Wagyu Toro. -Noodles: Ramen (thin) A casual vibe to the Resturant but still nice.

I'm glad the staff are knowledgeable about the place they work, and the energy surrounding the place is nice too. Peaceful and quiet chatter amongst others and no unpleasant noises or disturbances. The food is definitely something to praise too. I always end up eating nearly 2-3 all you can eat plates of bulgogi myself, their shrimp, and la galbi (beef short rib) are quite nice too. But the side dishes are my absolute favorite! Although the chicken and dipping sauces aren't something to fuss over, they're not horrible. Top recommendation: Bulgogi, la galbi & side dishes I'm looking forward to coming back again, and hopefully (unlike the many times before) I leave room for dessert! The yakgwa sundae looks promising.

As regular patrons of hot pot for date night, bf and I decided to try this place…read more I'll sort by pros and cons as I see it related to other hot pot places we've had: PROS: - Hot pot and BBQ grill at the same time for the same price! Great value there - Fairly large vegetable/noodle/etc bar - Waiters were incredibly attentive - All meats tasted high quality CONS: - No true "sauce bar"--I kind of tried to replicate my usual combo using the salad supplies and sauces - The meats are clearly made for either the grill or the pot 80% of the time with very few that can do both. For example, pork belly (grill) is different from THIN pork belly (pot). Beef belly worked best in the pot. Chicken worked best on the grill. Etc - Beef broth I got for my hotpot was decent but worse than most pork bone broths I default to For the same price as Seapot, I'd still personally prefer Seapot. But I think this place does best a lot of competition like Nan and Hai Di Lao. Give it a try for sure.

First of all, I want to give a glowing review of the impeccable service that was provided to us by…read moreSonny. He checked on us often to make sure we had enough of the unlimited veggies and sauces. He chatted with us and constantly cleared our empty plates. He was the only server, but he was able to take amazing care of every table. He gladly changed the channel so we could watch the hockey playoffs and had us stand in front of the Japanese cherry blossom wall so he could take pictures of us on my phone. 5 out of 5 service It is a beautiful spacious restaurant with booth seating and counter seating (there is also a private room with a tv and a Shabu table set for 20). The tables are already set with plates, utensils, and pots with water and seaweed (kombu) 4 out of 5 for decor and ambiance I wish I could have liked the food more, but here's my honest opinion. I paid extra for spicy miso broth (I think an extra $2.50). They mix spicy miso paste into the water that is already boiling at your table. Even with hot drops, it was disappointingly bland. There are 3 dipping sauces: garlic teriyaki, ponzu (surprisingly sweet which I didn't enjoy), and peanut sauce (again bland). Nice that the sauces are unlimited, too bad they're not delicious tho. There were many choices of meat. I chose choice ribeye. You order by the ounce here so I ordered 8oz. High quality meat for the price. They give you a really small plate of veggies to start, but then if you ask for more (it's unlimited) they give you a giant bowl of spinach, tofu, carrots, mushroom, cabbage, and broccoli. You're also given white rice and your choice of noodle. I chose ramen, but it wasn't your usual ramen noodle. It was a tiny bowl with a handful of super thin noodles that took a long time to cook. 3 out of 5 for food Would I come back here? Yes! There aren't any other Japanese shabu restaurants around AND Sonny was awesome!
