We passed by this place a couple of times and also saw the reviews here on Yelp and thought to give it a try ... and we are glad to report that their food is both tasty and good portion size! Star items to order : Fried Noodle with Beef & black pepper!! Very tasty and has a good kick from the pepper, generous with beef which is tender and not dry! Hot & Sour Soup, its a very popular soup but its getting harder and harder now to get a good one! Well balanced with the right amount of sourness and spiciness! Will for sure be on our list when we crave for Northern Chinese food!

The staff checks in on you and just basically gives you what you need, before you even ask for it. And I like how the place is set up, so cozy and provides just the right amount of privacy for groups. Even the washrooms are superb. Wait may be a bit long if you don't have a reservation (we made a reservation but came 30 minutes early and wanted to get in earlier), but they offer free snacks and drinks at the waiting area.

This is my first time trying Haidilao, I was so impressed with the service. Food was fresh, we opted for unlimited meat, we had beef & lamb slices. There is an extra charge of the sauce bar, about $3 plus dollars. That includes dessert & their yummy congee as part of the sauce bar. There's even a show presentation on a popular Chinese mythology figure, The Monkey God. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. Service is prompt & good, our server Elvis was attentive & most helpful. Trying to reorder meat on their iPad was a bit challenging, there's too many options. We had Elvis helping us with the reordering. You are offered ice cream at the end of your meal too. Decor was cute, clean & inviting Fresh food, great service, paid parking in the mall parking.

We ordered 3 things: Beef Fried Rice Noodle - lots of crunchy onions, green onions, bean sprouts with a decent amount of beef. Beef Potato Rice Lunch Special - comes with beef and potatoes of course, stir fried green peppers, onions and carrots. They also give you a side bowl of hot & sour soup. All good with no complaints. Pork in Spicy Garlic Sauce - The star of our meal. So spicy and full of flavor. The pork slices are on top of some bean sprouts so after eating a few slices, you can have some sprouts to change up the texture. I'm not a spicy food person so I was only able to eat 1.5 slices before my throat hurt, but my husband finished the whole thing.

One time one order of fortune bag gave 5 and another time it gave 3. Sometimes an order of meat is a few pieces and sometimes it's a lot. I wish they would work on consistency for take out orders. Because of this, I wouldn't order take out at the normal price. The tomato soup is tasteless. Very oily and doesn't have any tomato taste to it.

I also loved that they used dark meat, which made it even more flavorful and juicy. The spicy beef noodle soup was delicious. The noodles were cooked perfectly, the beef was tender, and the dish was very satisfying overall. My only suggestion would be for the broth to have a bit more depth and boldness in flavor. The pork soup dumplings were excellent. The wrappers were thin and delicate yet held together perfectly, and each dumpling was packed with a generous amount of rich, flavorful broth. Easily one of the highlights of the meal.

I recommend the thick noodles, it's perfectly cooked, very chewy and soaks up the flavour of the broth. The beef is very tender as well. They have optional garnished like pickled veg and cilantro but it goes well with it! One thing I wish is that they included more vegetable, there was one piece. Overall the service was fairly quick and they waiters refilled tea/ water often. I went right when it opened and the restaurant was already full.

After that, we ordered from them again many, many times through the Fantuan app. The menu is simple. Basically rice and noodles, just as the name of the shop implies. They cook their food soooo well though! There's a deep "wok hei" flavor to their rice and noodles. They do also have a few other side dishes like gyoza and spring rolls which you can order, but basically we go to this place for the rice and noodles. This was the first time we actually dined in the restaurant instead of getting takeout. Highly recommend dining in! So good to eat the food fresh and hot. It's a great place to stop for a quicky, filling and tasty meal. You choose your base, then your protein, and then your level of spice. Pay at the counter, then sit down and they will bring the food out to you when it's ready. In our group we ordered some gyoza, chow mein, pad thai noodles and pad see ew noodles. I must have been hungrier than I realized, or else the food just tasted soooo good that I ended up eating my entire plate of noodles, when I really only needed about half the plate. This place is a "must try"!.
