The food was really delicious and the broth was extremely well made. Everything about this place was perfect. Including our server, Ming. She had good customer service and she always asked for anything we needed. Will be coming back again. read more

Had an amazing experience at Haidilao. Our waitress was Ming and she was very attentive. My friend is pregnant and when Ming saw her, she immediately came back with a pillow for her. Food came quickly and we love that they have food for kids here. The restaurant is also very clean. Would definitely come back! read more

Came here around 11pm after a movie and waited about 5-10 minutes for a table for two. It was pretty packed and noisy inside, but we didn't mind. As always, loved the complimentary snacks while waiting. We got the pork bone broth and tom yum broth. Since we came during happy hour, we also did the BOGO Japanese wagyu and got instant noodles, wintermelon, fried bean curd, enoki mushrooms, and spinach. One thing to note is that the sauce bar is an extra $3.99 per person. With everything added up, it definitely gets pretty expensive for hot pot, especially for two people. read more

My son and his girlfriend took me to Haidilao on a Friday night, and what a fun experience! The first thing I noticed was the snack and drink station outside the door, and a friendly lady greeted us when we arrived. Make sure you make reservations, because they get pretty crowded on the weekends. We were seated immediately, and I was surprised by how large the restaurant was inside. At the table, there was an apron, a couple pieces of candy, and some crackers waiting for us. Since the hot pot is in the center of the table, the water container is hung on the edge of the table--such a great idea! There are also a couple of shelves on the wall next to you for extra dishes, which is very convenient. In the back, there is a station with all kinds of condiments that you can choose from for your hot pot. There were also a couple of birthday celebrations happening, and I had NO idea what was going on! Suddenly, several people came out with Chinese hand drums, dancing and singing the Haidilao birthday song. It was quite a show! Then I was completely surprised when my son ordered the Dancing Noodles! If you see servers stretching and swinging noodles around diners, that's the famous Haidilao Dancing Noodle performance. Watching them twirl those noodles was definitely something I had never experienced at a restaurant before! This was such a fun and unique dining experience. I'm so glad my son and his girlfriend took me here! read more

We stopped by Haidilao for the first time on a random Wednesday dinner and my goodness the total adds up quickly. Just choosing our two broths started our tab at $35 without meats, vegetables, sides, etc. The price for each item was higher than I expected. The food though was great and I absolutely loved the Tom Yum broth. Additionally, the service was amazing -- they checked up on us frequently, removed plates quickly, and the person greeting you at the door was extremely welcoming even though we were in shorts and a tshirt since we didn't know this was a higher end hot pot restaurant. The staff are dressed formally and are very friendly. This would be a great place to dine at if you want a wonderful experience with great service. read more

Haidilao Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

My wife has been asking me for over a year to try this restaurant because of the famous League of Legends team, T1. Apparently, this is one of T1's favorite hot pot spots, so we finally decided to give it a try today. From the moment we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming service. The staff had aprons and hand towels ready for us, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel very accommodating. As for the food, I think the soup base could use some improvement. In my opinion, it lacked depth and could benefit from more flavor. I also think an all-you-can-eat option would be a great addition to the menu, rather than offering only set combos and à la carte selections. Overall, the excellent hospitality made a great first impression, and with a few improvements to the food and menu options, I think the experience could be even better. read more

Had an excellent dining experience from start to finish. Very fun especially if you bring a toddler. They get a bunch of free stuff, including a kid's meal! Although they don't have AYCE (I went home hungry and ate another meal) you're essentially paying for their impeccable service, dancing noodles ($5), fresh ingredients, and a good time. Birthday people get a free slice of cheesecake! read more

Definitely recommend! read more

NOMd: seriously tried so much but my favs were the spicy pork broth, sweet potato glass noodles and the beef skewers.... those beef skewers are a MUST. we literally got 6 orders which still wasn't enough. service, etc.: we went for a birthday and they really go all out here with the decor, photo opps and goodie bag. the dancing noodles are super fun and cute too and tasted so fresh and good. i wish they had at least one extra large table to accommodate larger parties though we were super crammed with the 9 of us. read more

Yay! Finally got to try Haidilao after SO long. I have always tried the instant hotpot kits and soup broth kits at home, it's nice to have finally gotten the chance to try it. Parking is very doable! It's located in a corner of a big plaza. Once you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately if available spots are open. It's pretty spacious inside, it never feels like you have to squeeze past tables. It's very well maintained, everything is clean and it looks so cute inside with little decor everywhere! They seem to have a lot of promos depending on the days you go, but mostly for lunchtime on weekdays I believe. The pricing can be a little steep for certain items but honestly i still think it's decently priced for the most part. You pay separately for the salad bar and the soup broths are charged individually. The order process is easy, you order off a tablet but the staff will guide you through ordering and everything on your first visit. The staff is super attentive so your table is always clean and they will go over special item orders and when to best enjoy them based on cooking times. Overall, if you head to Haidilao, you are heading in for a good time. The food is great, services is great, and the atmosphere is very comforting . A fun place to visit with a small group or even by yourself if you're hungry enough :) read more

Haidilao Hot Pot - (RIGHT) Passion Fruit Soup Base & (LEFT)Tomato Soup Base 番茄火锅(四宫格） - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

The lunch combo was a great deal! For $27 you get protein, veggie or mushroom or tofu, side dish and carb, and soup base. Senior discount available at $20 for the same combo. You still have to pay $4 per person for the sauce / salad bar. You can opt out if you are okay eating without the sauces. Service has always been attentive at this place. You still get an apron but now it has changed to paper apron. Everything else is pretty much the same from when this place first opened its doors at the Fremont location. There is also a late night happy hour special where most dishes are 31% off. It's easy to overorder when there is a discount so watch out for that. So far Haidilao has been my favorite place for hot pot, and I cannot wait for more Haidilao in other Bay Area locations such as Serramonte. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner (adult) and keep in mind this is a review for summertime. Parking in the mall area was easy. We were seated outside and it was hot. Unfortunately, the air they have setup outdoors does not cool you down. Between the spicy soup and spicy sauce I ate, I was definitely feeling the heat. I recommend sitting indoors if you can get that reservation. Food was good and we had soju (order one at a time or it gets warm), we ordered rib eye, lamb, vegetables, and up to 4 different soups bases. The robot servers were cool and if you mention the secret phrases they do give you a freebie for the table not per person. Dessert was ube or vanilla ice cream. They sang happy birthday and we ordered the hand pulled noodles which came with a noodle dance show. They also sang happy birthday and gave the birthday girl a matcha cheesecake. It was fun and we all enjoyed the food. read more

We came here for an after work gathering, and everyone had a great time! The last time I visited this restaurant was probably back in 2023, so it was nice to be back. We had a reservation and were seated quickly upon arrival. We chose four different broth bases, and all of them were flavorful. We ordered plenty of food along with a few pitchers of beer. They offered a wide selection of meats and hot pot ingredients, so there was something for everyone in our group. We also got to enjoy the face changing mask performance and the noodle dance! Highly recommended! read more

Great food and service, but be prepared for a long wait. We were seated after an hour on the waitlist. The soups (tomato and spicy pork) were delicious and served quickly, however our hotpot food items took nearly 45 minutes to be served. We were so hungry and drank a lot of soup while waiting for our food. LOL The waiter told us their kitchen was too busy, he was sorry for the long wait and offer us dessert. We also had to remind them on a missing fish fillet. The staff apologized again and offered a $5 discount. At the end of the meal, we checked the bill and found out the $5 discount was not there and they charged us for open sauce fee which we didn't order, and there was another 15 minutes wait to get our bill corrected. Total dining time was 2.5 hours + 1 hour waitlist time, record breaking for us. Never had hotpot meal taking this long. read more

Just went there today for a birthday. This place is over rated and over priced. I didn't appreciate the server telling us to leave in ten minutes because they had reservations coming in. Mediocre food, high price and rude service. I don't understand why people rave about this place, I'm certainly not coming back with so many other hot pot choices to choose from. read more

Truly the best place for a birthday celebration! They aways go above and beyond to make the evening special. We ordered the following and highly recommend this combo! - 4 types of soup bases. Tomato soup base, pork bone broth, spicy beef soup base, tangy passion fruit soup base. I loved the tomato and tangy passion fruit! So flavorful. - Wagyu beef tower. Just dip for 10 seconds and you'll get it perfectly cooked. - Seafood platter. They give you quite a lot! - Dancing noodles. Always so fun! They let you select the song, so I chose Swim by BTS ;) - Mixed vegetable platter. Always a good addition. - Mushroom platter. Love this and would get it every time. - Tri-color vegetable noodles. Remember to not overcook! - Seasoning buffet. A must. So many side dishes and dessert options. Snacks too! The snacks are too good. Get your secret codes ready for more free stuff! We also got a kids meal because we have a baby. read more

Cant ever go wrong w haidilao, the best broth and meats, great veggie selection and good meats. Service is great too, good spot for birthdays read more

Heard this was a popular place so decided to try it out and see for myself! Right away, as we go to the entrance, we see a cart of snacks and drinks. Gave me a good impression. Thought that was a nice gesture for those people waiting for their table. We were seated right away and there was no line for a Friday night. Once we were seated, we were given a bib/apron, hair tie, snacks, and wet naps. Thought that was a nice touch. I use the restroom and they have complimentary mouthwash and feminine products. Thought that was nice too. My friends and I ordered four meat dishes and tripe initially, just to see how much we could eat. The meats were good. The tripe was okay. The soup was good. Ordered the pork bone broth. But sadly to say, after spending $130 (before tax and tip) on just those items, we were still hungry. We decided not to order anymore food and just go somewhere else to satisfy our hunger. I left disappointed. If you want to be entertained, then yes, they had this man in a mask dancing when we arrived. They also have a noodle dancing guy. They also celebrate birthdays. read more

Loved our experience! Was able to celebrate my mom's birthday and took her to Haidilao for the first time. She loved it and loved the tomato soup base.

What can one say again? And I am NOT paid to post this on Yelp. This is HaiDiLao...it's world renowned and has a quality standard that I must honestly say is WORLD class! They have brought over from Asia the work and service etiquette that makes YOU feel like you deserve and WANT to come here. And this place isn't that cheap! But you leave feeling like you got MORE than what you paid! From the free snacks while you wait in line to the aprons to keep your clothes stain-free to the cute toys for kids or the free kids platter with chicken nuggets! The insightfulness of the management at the head office is meticulous! And NOW they have Happy Hour set menus and late night Happy Hours as well! GREAT for your post clubbing and karaoke munchies! Or if you happen to be a poor office worker that just finished a 16 hour day and are in need of a blessing of food. HaiDiLao has it until 2am! Food quality is spot on. And variety is wide. You could bring your friend who isn't into hot pot and they could still order egg rolls! Having said that...leave them at home, keke. We've been here many times and have never left disappointed! Today's service was brought to us by "Scarlett!" She, like all her predecessors, approached us with a smile and professional appearance and attire. Just like you would expect in Asia. So to you, Scarlett, I say....! Thank you for tolerating all our questions and requests. I know we had many! But you always came over with a smile!!! (HaiDiLao management pls let Scarlett read this compliment!) I will finish with this....we were all heading out the door and the usual workflow is to get a soft serve ice cream as you leave. Well, today the machine was out of order!!! Dun-dun-daaa.....!!!! Scarlett happen to see us at the defunct ice cream machine and asked, "How many do you want?" We said TWO. And she ran over and dug out 4 mini Haagen-Dazs ice cream sticks from their fridge for our party of 4 adults to make sure everyone was satisfied! Is that service or what??? She's got eyes like a hawk, memory like a camera, and a heart like an angel. This is the HaiDiLao experience.... read more

Hot Pot is always fun! And this is a lively ambiance and the service is really good. Warning: The Spicy broth has a LOT of chili oil floating on top. Make sure to stir it before serving as a member of my party took a big sip of the oil at first and it made her throat close up. The food is good yet the portions are small and the prices are very high. The bill was $200 for 4 people and we were all still bit hungry after. read more

The service was poor and I did not leave satisfied. Our drink didn't arrive until midway through our meal, and I'm baffled by the lack of service especially considering the restaurant uses a robot delivery system for extra assistance. Even after ordering about $130 worth of meats, sides, and a single drink for two people, we were both still hungry by the end of the meal.. The biggest issue was the value. For the price we paid, the quality and portions simply didn't justify the cost. One thing that they do well is the decor which seems tailored to families with young children. read more

We came here for a birthday and the service is really exceptional. Our server was really attentive and constantly made sure we were taken care of and even came out with some birthday goodies and had a dessert too. The ambience is nice and the space is very big. Now my honest review on the food, it's good, but severely overpriced, you really do pay for the service. I don't personally think it's significantly better quality wise to justify the price tag, imo , you might as well go to AYCE for the same price, actually for far less. Having to pay for sauce bar, and each soup base, it adds up quick. They do have some late night happy hour offers, but other than that, it doesn't really stand out. We enjoyed our time and experience here, but likely will stick with AYCE. read more

We come here whenever the hot pot cravings strike! There aren't any hot pot places closer to us so we make the 35+ minute drive. Today we came for a birthday celebration. We tried a soup base we haven't tried before (fish maw and chicken) and it was so good! I would definitely have it again in the future. Our server was Ming and she was so expedient. When she saw that I clumsily spilled my drink, she was there with napkins, a wet wipe, and a new drink. She honored my request to have a quiet birthday celebration and gave me a little gift. Thanks Ming and the HDL staff! read more

Came here with my partner for a late dinner. I'm talking "an hour before they close" type of dinner at 1am. The service was still great, they still delivers and makes us our food and drinks perfectly. I did get some disgruntled looks from employees as they clean the sauces at the end but that's alright, very understandable haha. Food is great, meat is fresh and delicious. I got fermented rice and lychee drink and not sure if i would order again, took me by surprise and i didn't like the fermented rice part. And also something about this location is that they never give you the free stuff if you say the phrase to them...maybe i'll try again for the 3rd time next time ;( read more

Pricey, and I would have given it just 4 stars if it's for the food alone and not for the Bian-Lian performance. We heard about their Bian-Lian (face-change) performance and called ahead to book a table for a time that it'll be performed (7:30-8pm). It did not disappoint. What an honor to be able to witness this amazing art, a secret tradition passed down for generations! The artist was smooth and entertaining, and even gave my parents in law a beautiful souvenir, which they appreciated very much! The food itself is wonderfully presented, and everything is fresh. The "salad bar" is very good and will fill you up by itself, with seaweed salads and pickled mushrooms and all the condiments you could think of (hello, chive pesto!) We ordered the four soup special, which was a pot quartered into four sections, each with its own flavor soup that you can select. I picked a spicy soup which I soon regretted as it made the food too spicy to even taste the dipping sauce that I worked so hard to create read more

Haidilao usually is known for good service, but the wait and eating experience was horrible Saturday dinner at this Fremont branch. Waited an hour to get seated, another hour for mushrooms to come out, then meat, another hour for fish, after endless waiting we left at 10pm. They were understaffed and service took a while. The sauce bar was underwhelming, the fruits/snacks were not too exciting. We got complimentary brown sugar mochi for the wait (which we also had to wait longer for), they were warm and delicious. read more

While there is always a risk of cross contamination - I really apperciate the fact that they list INCLUDING SOY, on their menu for contains allegens for every dish, protein, vegetable etc.. I'm able to swipe on their tablet and be a bit more rest assured that I am have agency and can make informed decisions as a consumer here with less surpises. - It's been quite difficult at establishments where I inquire if certain soups have xyz allergen and they'll say, 'nope, no xyz allergen', and I will say, 'but abc soup base has xyz', and they'll go, 'yeah you're right'. **I would still speak to the staff here and as always have your epi-pen if you have allergens. - Their sauce bar was a bit more difficult as the wall has the allergens listed in the background - which I never I had noticed until now. Not sure if that's new but it was helpful - hoping that they'll have (if not already) any allergen accessible menu for sauces and everything not just on the wall. - Food is always good. Ambiance depends on day, etc. But, generally a good time. I recommend this for parties of 3 to maybe 5/6, maybe you can push it more but it depends on size of all participants. I only go with fam here so. - Quality is pretty high up there of all the ingridents etc. - P.S. Currently they have ube soft serve.. just FYI. read more

The number of times I've come says a lot about this place. What I've discovered that helps the enjoyment of this place is eating off peak hours. The wait list/time is shorter, the line for sauces and side dishes is shorter, and items don't run out as quickly! HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation. This is definitely a pricier hot pot place, but the extremely attentive wait staff, quality and presentation of food, and freebies for the kids makes it all worth it. I love the sauce bar and the varied side dishes available. The robot that delivers food is neat (and much more polite than many people in the restaurant). The soft serve ice cream to top off the delicious meal is a plus (especially for my kids). Tons of people celebrate their birthdays there--and for good reason (free paper crown, slice of dessert, singing, decor). They're kind to offer drinks and small snacks to customers who are waiting outside, and they're largely conscious of getting people served quickly and efficiently. Whatever may run out gets replaced very quickly (even restroom hand towels). The cleanliness of the restaurant and restroom is superb. Overall, I highly recommend this place/location. Really fun to celebrate birthdays. I've come here a number of times, and today, I barely put down a dirty napkin or empty plate, and it got swept up and removed almost immediately. This place runs like a well oiled machine. I see their improvements over the course of my frequenting this place. Keep up the good work! read more

The service and food were excellent at Haidilao! This was my first time here with a group of 5 people, so we made a reservation online 5-7 days prior for a birthday celebration. We ordered 4 soup broths and combination of meats & vegetable mixes. The price is definitely worth it in my opinion because of the experience and quality food. We also got the hand-pulled noodles, where they asked us to request a song and included an entertaining dance. Everyone here is welcoming. They also have free soft serve, snacks, and fruits. Our server, Irene, was extremely nice and accommodating to our orders and requests. We had some rain leaking to our table from the outside, but the staff made sure we stayed dry and were comfortable. Irene also offered to take a picture for us and sing happy birthday, which was really sweet. She went above and beyond. Thank you! read more

Love how this place is bright, clean, and spacious! A great place for a group, family, and friends. We ordered two different broths, mushroom and tomato! Both super flavorful. At hot pot places like these it's easy to lose sight of what you order since it's so fun to select from the list! Loved the ribeye and deep fried buns with condensed milk. We also ordered veggies, noodles, and everything!! Ok remember to go towards the back to the sauce station and gather all your sauces or cilantro, onions, and more! Then when you're ready you can head to the dessert station towards the front side. There is ice cream and jellies!! So fun with a group! Service was also on point here! read more

Had this for their 9:30pm happy hour on a Friday night. I loved this place! Service: 5/5 (our waiter was so nice and helpful) Ambiance: 5/5 (the place felt so inviting and we had happy ppl around us celebrating all night) - also had the dancing noodle experience and that was awesome! Now for the food: 4/5 - this is for the soup selections that they have. While a lot, the tastes for them were good but not out of this world. The tomato and spicy were my fave. The meats were fresh and every dish was a quality one. Sauce/seasoning bar can be added for $3.99 which you kind of have to add for the full experience. I do think for a place that isn't all you can eat, the sauce bar should be added without a fee as to me, sauces go hand in hand with hotpot naturally. But there were so many other additions at the sauce bar that made the additional price worth it (snacks, cold items, and ice cream on the other side with Asian dessert/toppings). Overall my experience was amazing and also got to experience the "secret phrases" to get a free toy and free tomato soup base! Would def go back for the vibes and happy hour made it more worth it than paying regular full price! read more
