We were craving something comforting, so the three of us stopped by Liuyishou in Plano on a Monday…read moreright after 5 p.m. We went with the deluxe menu and skipped the higher tier with Wagyu, which we didn't need. We shared a double pot with Liu's House Special Spicy soup base (beef tallow, slightly spicy) and a golden chicken broth. The good: service was extremely fast. The sauce bar has signs showing suggested combinations, but some of the listed ingredients didn't match what was available, so I asked for help and the staff guided me through it. I tried the traditional sesame sauce and wasn't a fan, but I loved a mix of oyster sauce and minced garlic. There's a good selection of vegetables, plus ready-to-eat sides like egg rolls, lotus root, tofu, and what I think was marinated pig ear. I liked that the sides are labeled with the time they were put out. Meat portions are more limited, but it was just enough for us. I was happy the deluxe menu included beef tongue. The tripe came out on ice, which was new for us, and it's a darker color than I'm used to, but still very tasty. They also came by to refill our broth as it cooked down, which was appreciated. The jelly with brown sugar at the end was a nice finisher and helped cut through all the oiliness. The not-so-good: we're the type who likes to sip the broth, and that just wasn't possible here. The house special spicy broth was way too oily and spicy, and the golden chicken was thick and oily too. I hoped the refills would tone down the saltiness, but it stayed salty. I also thought it was a bit off that the broth costs extra on top of the per-person all-you-can-eat price. Our two-broth pot was another $15.99. If you're mainly here for dipping meat and veggies, you'll probably enjoy it. If broth is the highlight of hot pot for you like it is for me, this one may not be your spot. With so many hot pot options in the Dallas area now, I'd rather try others before coming back here. Total for 3: about $149 including tax and tip, with one beer.

After confirming with the hostess that it was there (big sigh of relief) when I retrieved it, much to my surprise, all the contents to include cash was still there! I was pleasantly surprised at the staff's honesty and integrity. Now for the food, the broth that my friend and I got was delicious and the abundance of conveyor belt food to add was amazing. We did the BBQ but honestly did not need it with all of the food. I loved how you can make your own dipping sauce and all of the other goodies in the buffet area. I left full and happy!

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.

I really have to say, since the change in management Squares has really stepped up their game…read moreoffering Wagyu meats and more exotic items. 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.

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.
