    My 1200th review goes to the Haidilao branch in Flushing! Date and time of visit: Dec 23, 2025 11:15pmEST After a long day of flying and traveling since 4am that morning, and landing in wintry New York, I was eager for hot Chinese soup. I enjoy visiting Haidilao branches around the world and have been to a couple in the Bay Area and in Taipei. But Flushing, Queens? Man oh man this has become my favorite US-based Haidilao spot I have visited so far! Open til 4am???? In a city that never sleeps, that checks out! Chose 2 soup bases: sukiyaki and pork bone I was very eager to try out the $20 Meat O'clock AYCE offering after 9pm! Turns out it's only 5 meat options: 1. Premium fatty Beef slices 2. Fiery pickled pepper chicken 3. Beef tripe 4. Handmade shrimp paste 5. Imitation crab sticks. Not the sexiest options. My favorite is the beef. Also got fresh duck blood (boil for 5 minutes), tofu skin fortune pouches stuffed with roe, and winter special dessert of warm snow mochi cakes stuffed with pumpkin. The waiter accidentally took it to the table across from me, and the couple sitting at that table were just as confused as I was, and realized it was for me, and told me that they had heard me ordering the dessert. From the sauce and dessert station, I got pickled pig ears, purple rice porridge, and jelly desserts! I headed back to my hotel around 1am absolutely stuffed and slept with a food coma.

    I've dined at HaiDiLao twice after the pandemic, but my latest visit was for their new promotion - Meat o'clock. Meat o'clock features unlimited meat for 90 mins after 9pm Sunday - Thursdays. I made a reservation for 5 and mentioned a birthday celebration. We were presented cute signs and a capybara display for a photo opp at our table. There were 5 types of meat offered during Meat o' clock: fatty beef, shrimp paste, spicy marinated chicken, imitation crab sticks, and beef tripe. We ordered several rounds of each meat option but generally stick to the fatty beef and shrimp for taste and value. We chose 4 different broths: mushroom, tom yum, pork bone, and spicy beef tallow. Each of them were good in their own way. We really enjoyed the deep mushroom and the tangy tom yum broths. The spicy beef tallow was very spicy and definitely hit the spot. One thing to note about HaiDiLao is that not only do you have to pay for the broths (about $30) for a full pot, there's also an additional $4 per person to use the sauce bar. The sauce bar also comes with access to spicy pig ears, pickled kelp, fruit, and dessert. Overall, the food at HaiDiLao is definitely great quality but the AYCE aspect of it made it less enjoyable. Our dinner finally ended close to midnight and we were too stuffed to sleep. I would recommend HaiDiLao but eating so late is definitely not ideal for a weeknight.

    This is an exemplary hot pot spot - the broth, the service, the food everything was really perfect. We got 4 different broths - the mushroom was favorite. Damn it was so flavorful it was almost like a gravy. The Tom Yum was another hit, but unfortunately it gets diluted a bit when they add broth. The pork bone broth had a huge pork bone in it. The Sichuan spicy might have been too spicy - it had a lot of oil in it. You can happily have a meal here without the sauce bar and still get plenty of flavor. The sauce bar has everything you could possible want - they even have ice jelly with solid accompaniments and soft serve ice cream. The Meat O'Clock special after 9pm on certain nights is worth it, currently $20/pp for unlimited choices of limited dishes. Make sure you come with big eaters to make it worth it. Haidilao gets high stars and its all well deserved - I am looking forward to coming back soon!

    Located upstairs, there is an elevator if need be. The waiting areas are decently sized with games to entertain and refreshments while you wait. Inside, there is a lot of tables/seating, though the walkways are a bit tight when packed. The bathrooms are well stocked with amenities to freshen up. We had a reservation late night for Meat O Clock (Sunday-Thursday, after 9:00 P.M.). We were early for our reservation, but got seated quickly. We were here to celebrate a birthday, and they had an adorable birthday display set up at our table. The service is fantastic. They're informative, attentive, and friendly. Another table got an order of the dancing noodles, and it was cool to see the talent of the staff. We got aprons to prevent accidental splatters and spills. The sauce bar is extensive, which I like, especially since it's an additional cost per person. I do find that the broths are flavorful enough to forgo the sauces. We wanted to try a variety of broths, so we went with the 4 choice: -Sichuan Spicy: can really taste the mala, and if you're not careful, you get hit with that oil! Was a bit too much for me. -Pork Bone: added extra meatiness to the meat. It comes with the bone in it. It also has some tomato in it. -Mushroom: my favorite broth to get at hot pot. This is the best one I've had! It's got so much flavor and you can really taste it in whatever is cooked in there. I took this home (yes, you can ask for containers to take your broths and dishes minus AYCE home... you paid for it after all!) -Tom Yum: great spicy and zesty broth. It did get a little watered down with additional broth, so I would suggest not refilling the broth. The dishes came out quick! They come out on a cat robot, and although it does seem to get lost/stuck often, the staff is quick to rescue it. You can definitely get your AYCE going on. Meat O Clock Options (which seem to vary so check ): -Premium Fatty Beef: consistent good quality and cuts -Imitation Crab Sticks: typical imitation crab sticks -Beef Tripe: good texture and size for cooking! -Handmade Shrimp Paste: has some actual texture to it compared to other places. The addition of roe is interesting. -Fiery Pickled Pepper Chicken: tender and spicy! we did cook these in the spicy broths to maintain the spiciness and not add spiciness to the non spicy broths We also ordered a bunch of veggies and mushrooms (crown daisy, watercress, enoki, napa cabbage, tofu skin, bok choy, winter melon, etc.), all of which were fresh and tasty. I like the option to order half portions for the veggies that not everyone wants to eat or if you're dining solo. They also have ice cream (vanilla and matcha), and ingredients for ice jelly! Great way to end the meal. I can see why Haidilao is so popular! I will definitely be back to try their other meats. They can get pricey, but you can definitely get your money's worth.

    Fantastic food, world-class service. The staff here makes you feel like royalty. The waiting room has games and complimentary teas, water, and snacks. The hot pot options are abundant and delicious. The whole place is clean, modern and sleek. Truly one of my favorite restaurants ever and a spot I hit yearly, if not more often. Highly recommend to anyone dining in Flushing!

    Our party of 12 (10 adults and 2 children) visited Haidilao Hot Pot for a birthday celebration, and this was our first time dining here. The restaurant was spacious, clean, and well organized. We really enjoyed the sauce, snack, and dessert bars. The lunch special was an excellent value at $20 per person and included a soup base, one protein (beef, pork, or fish), vegetables, and noodles or rice. Our server, David, was attentive and friendly. We did run into an issue with the kids' meals. Since kids eat free, and based on other reviews as well as phone calls beforehand, we expected chicken nuggets to be available at the appetizer bar. Unfortunately, none were available that day. We were told multiple times by David and other staff that the chicken nuggets were being prepared, but after waiting over an hour, the kids' meals arrived with fruit, a small drink, and mini buns (which resembled nuggets) with ketchup. By that point, the kids were hungry and disappointed, as these were not chicken nuggets. When we asked again, we were finally informed that the nuggets had sold out. The staff did provide four manually deboned chicken wings, which we appreciated, but clearer communication from the beginning would have helped manage expectations. Aside from that, the adults really enjoyed the food. The tomato broth was especially delicious, and the meats and fish were tender and fresh. I also liked the pig ears appetizer, and the shrimp paste and fish balls we added were tasty. The desserts were good as well, especially the matcha and vanilla ice cream. We're deducting one star due to the kids' meal issue. Overall, the food and experience were great for adults, but better communication about kids' options would improve the experience.

    You walk into Haidilao expecting that it's going to be your typical hotpot restaurant, except you're taken aback, because this is not your usual hotpot, it's a whole sensory experience. *AMBIANCE* We came here on a weekend and made reservations a few weeks in advance. The place is buzzing with energy, a cheerful chaos, and a waiting room filled with snacks and games as you eagerly wait to be called to your table. Once you arrive to your table, there's never a dull moment, as you'll find sights to see all around you. *FOOD* Hotpot heaven. We liked how we could choose 4 different broths, and then we were off to the races picking veggies and meats off the tablet left and right. Noodles dance, meats swish, shrimp balls bounce like they're auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. It's interactive dining at its finest, and also the only place where you can feel like a chef without actually knowing how to cook. *SERVICE* The staff here are very attentive, from the apron service, balloon making, the occasional noodle dance performance, it almost feels like they're trying to spoil you into becoming a loyal follower, and honestly it's working. A memorable experience all around! PRO-TIP: learn some of the secret phrases to receive some goodies!

    Food: We got the split of the classy mala soup base and the tomato soup base. I could not even tell you the flurry of all the food and fun we had, plates of raw meats and veggie were flying at us like clockwork and it was all so good. What impressed me the most were the multiple stations surrounding the eating room with dessert, snacks, and dipping sauces. Overwhelming to a novice like me, but in the best way. A Disneyland of shabu shabu. Service: They are all so attentive and ready to assist at a moments notice. Never had an issue. Ambiance: So lively! Just a crowded establishment full of laughter mixed into jovial conversation, impromptu dance performances for your entertainment, and brewing cauldrons of hot spicy broth. This place is what hot pot places dream of growing up to become.

    Haidilao must be the happiest place in Downtown Flushing! Something here just makes hot pot experiences a perfect 10/10. This is a la carte hot pot and you can expect better quality ingredients and broth which they absolutely delivered! The service here is excellent! My family came here on a weekday dinner just after 5:00 pm and there was no wait. You can make reservations or put yourself on a waitlist before you get there. This restaurant was a lot bigger than I expected - there is a dining room in the front of the restaurant and a bigger dining area in the back. Upon seating, we were handed an iPad to order hot pot broths, ingredients, and drinks. My little one was offered a complementary kid's meal which comes with fruit, chicken nuggets, and a drink, which was perfect for her. There are sauce and snack stations that everyone is able to go and get what you need. There is also bing fan (iced jelly) dessert stations that you can mix and match ingredients - this happened to our favorite part of the experience! I loved that both the sauce and dessert station have some suggested mix options as a guide for first timers. We got the Pork Bone Broth and the Golden Chicken (this was my favorite of the 2) - both were great! We mostly ordered seafood, vegetables, and meats - all were clean, fresh, and worked very well with the broths. My in laws do not eat beef but next time, I would absolutely come back to try their premium beef options!

    I have seen this spot all over Tik Tok and finally got the chance to swing by. The service was super friendly and cheery. Everything we ordered was fresh and I really enjoyed my martini. I'm a bit lazy so I still have to get used to the concept of having to cook my own food at a restaurant but otherwise I enjoyed my visit.

    This place is sooo good. Came here with family and we loved all the different soup base choices. Everything is al la carte so it can add up and be pricey but def worth it. Also must get the noodles! A guy comes and does a little show and the noodles were good too! Highly recommend!

    I visited the Haidilao restaurant in Flushing today for lunch with a friend. We arrived around 11:15 a.m., a bit before the 11:30AM opening time. There were plenty of seats right in front of the restaurant, along with drinks and snacks at the minibar available for guests to enjoy while waiting. While we were waiting, one of the front staff members (I didn't get her name) was incredibly kind and brought us warm tea, which was perfect for the mildly chilly weather. You can also make a reservation online on their website or join their waitlist in person too. We were assigned to Tracy who greeted us right away, guided us to our table, and brought us water and some appetizers (chips and chicken nuggets) while introducing the menu. Shoutout to Tracy, her service was exceptional as she was kind, very attentive, and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. She brought us hair ties, provided bags to store our coats so they wouldn't smell like hot pot afterward, offered lens wipes, and refilled our water and soup base, as well as changed our plates without us even asking. They also offer a great weekday lunch special for two, which is an excellent deal. It includes two choices of soup bases, two choices of either basa fish, beef, or pork, an assorted platter of hot pot fish balls and vegetables, and a side of rice or instant noodles. To top it off, Tracy even brought us ice cream. Highly recommend!

    First time at Juqi - I've seen their location in Manhattan and was always curious about it…read more Although, when looking it up I do remember always thinking "whoa, it's kinda pricey..." Well, I know why now AND I can tell you I would still come again. First - the place is very traditional Chinese style and very spacious inside. We were seated quick and didn't need a reservation or anything as TBH bf and I came to Flushing to get Dim sum...to find out that our dim sum spot is GONE!! (this is another story) Anyways - there's a digital menu so you can browse and also see straight up how much everything would cost. The staff are also very helpful if you need any assistance esp if you don't speak or read Chinese. Anyways - Juqi is known for their peking duck so we ordered the half duck set. Which also with the leftover pieces or bones (or something) they will ask if you want to fry them or make into a soup. We choose fried (well I would preferred the soup but..haha next time), seafood fried rice, soy sauce chicken, Chinese vegetable and beef with green peppers. All the food came out pretty quick! The duck came out and the server showed us how to properly wrap it up to eat. The duck was tender and skin was soo crispy. It wasn't heavy at all. The soy sauce chicken was properly seasoned and it came with a sweet chili sauce and a ginger oil sauce, both was great. But not needed but that's also preference. The beef and green peppers were so well balanced and beef was soo tender and soft, not dry over overcooked at all. The Chinese vegetable was very simple but crispy (not overly cooked) and the portion was bigger than I thought. Lastly and my favorite dish was the seafood fried rice. It doesn't looked seasoned and even plain but the taste is very clean, simple and elegant . Meaning it's fried rice but it's not greasy from the usual. The taste held well over the next 3 days (leftovers) and I can say that it still tasted as good as the day we ordered it. We had leftovers and I was able to enjoy them for lunch on a work day!!! Win! So yeah it might seem pricey for the food but I think it's worth it. It's the quality of the food and it's deff there. They ensure that the food stands out on it's own without having to cover it all up in heavy sauce or seasoning.

It's a fantastic spot whether you're looking for a satisfying meal or a classic Asian breakfast with fresh soy milk and fried dough. I highly recommend getting there early since it fills up quickly. If the wait is too long, takeout is a great option, and there is convenient parking nearby.

    Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings is one of the best-known spots in Flushing for Shanghainese cuisine, and…read moreit is easy to see why it has become such a destination. We walked into a modern, spacious dining room that felt much larger than it appeared from the outside, making it a comfortable place for both small groups and larger gatherings. The room had a polished, contemporary energy with a layout that accommodated the steady flow of diners, and even though it was consistently busy, the operation ran efficiently and the atmosphere stayed lively without feeling chaotic. The soup dumplings are the clear highlight and are the reason we would recommend coming here. We ordered a few baskets and found the wrappers thin enough to hold a generous amount of rich, flavorful broth without falling apart, and the fillings well seasoned. The classic pork soup dumplings were a must-order, while the pork and crab version was another standout if we were looking for something with a little more richness. Beyond the dumplings, the menu had plenty of other Shanghainese favorites, including beef noodle soup, pan-fried pork buns, scallion pancakes, fried rice, and a variety of appetizers that made it easy to share several dishes. Each plate arrived hot and well assembled, and the consistency across the menu gave us confidence in ordering beyond the signature item. Despite how popular the restaurant is, the wait was well managed. We joined the waitlist digitally before being seated, and tables turned over fairly quickly. Once seated, the food came out at a steady pace, making it a good option even during busy lunch or dinner hours. The staff moved through the room with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the flow smooth without feeling rushed. Overall, Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings lives up to its reputation. The soup dumplings are some of the best we have had, and the extensive menu makes it worth ordering beyond just the signature dish. If we are visiting Flushing, it is a restaurant that deserves a spot on the list, whether it is a first introduction to xiao long bao or we are already a fan of Shanghainese food.

    Chongqing Lao Zao is one of the most immersive hot pot restaurants we have visited. We walked into…read morea space where the elaborate décor immediately stood out, with traditional architecture, lanterns, and themed details that made it feel like stepping into an old Chinese village. The restaurant was much larger than it first appeared, and the atmosphere added just as much to the experience as the food itself. The room had a lively, bustling energy with tables spread across multiple sections, and the steady flow of diners reflected its popularity as a destination for a full hot pot meal. The hot pot menu offered a wide variety of broths, meats, seafood, vegetables, and handmade specialties. We appreciated that there were options for both spice lovers and those who prefer something milder, with the signature Chongqing broth delivering the classic numbing mala flavor while the tomato and mushroom broths provided a lighter alternative. The ingredients tasted fresh, and there were plenty of premium cuts of beef, seafood, and specialty items to choose from. The self-serve sauce bar was another highlight, letting us customize our dipping sauce exactly how we liked it, with a wide range of condiments and toppings that allowed for endless combinations. The restaurant gets very busy, especially during dinner and weekends, so planning ahead is important. Reservations are highly recommended because walk-in waits can easily stretch over an hour. Even with the large dining room, the staff did a good job keeping everything organized and regularly checked in throughout the meal. Despite how crowded it could get, service remained attentive and food arrived at a steady pace. The team moved through the room with efficiency, keeping the broth refilled and the table cleared without making the experience feel rushed. Overall, Chongqing Lao Zao delivers much more than a typical hot pot meal. The combination of high-quality ingredients, customizable broths, and one of the most impressive themed dining spaces we have experienced makes it a place we would gladly return to. If you are looking for authentic Chongqing-style hot pot in Flushing, this is one of the strongest options available.

    Food: 4.1/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 We came on a Friday morning around opening time and were lucky enough to not have to wait for a table (though many parties did have to wait). We were seated towards the back of the restaurant where we found a cockroach crawling on the bench seat. Also, the straw decoration on the bench seat was uncomfortable throughout the meal for me particularly. Our waiter, since it was our first time, helped us a lot in choosing the broth and its spice level (we ended up getting tomato and mild chongqing), as well as helping us with the amount of food we would be ordering (which turned out to be almost the perfect amount of food for our party of 6). Some of my favorite dishes that we got were the: - Wide Potato Noodles - Doesn't take that long to cook, SO chewy and nice, pairs well with any broth or sauce - Enoki Mushrooms - My favorite kind of mushroom, even more chew and great noodle substitute - Fried Breadsticks - Very crunchy and don't lose that much crunch whenever dipped or soaked in the broths. - Sliced Beef - Standard and really good meat option for hotpot. Some of their specialty beefs are also interesting, but I ended up just preferring this over those. - Beef Tendon - I lied. This was the best meat option. Extremely soft and melts in your mouth. Doesn't take more than 5 seconds to cook. Just so good. Even with everything that I liked, I didn't find that much that was superior to other hot pot places that I have been to. I did enjoy the food that we did have, but with the insane wait that I would likely have if I came back as well as the high price of the meal, I don't know if this would be worth coming back to in the future.

The environment is clean, and staff was welcoming when I dined here on a Friday evening with other Yelp Elites. The restaurant filled up with people very quickly. I cannot remember having better Northeastern Chinese food anywhere. The food came with an amazing presentation, taste, freshness and quality. I am a huge fan of the Cumin Flounder, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It is the best flounder that I have ever tasted in my life! The Beef Tenderloin in Brown Sauce is to die for. I loved the Minted Salted Egg Yolk and Sliced Pumpkin so much that I will come back here to order it for Thanksgiving dinner. If you can handle the spice, go for the Fried Squid Head with Spicy Peppery Sauce. It was the table favorite because most of us prefer the head or tentacles of calamari to the rings. The Molten Sugar-Crusted Yams and Dates were phenomenal. It came with a bowl of water on the side to remove stickiness from the serving spoon between helpings. We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control. Thank you Andie for putting this all together, and the birthday cake that Mike bought for you was a decadent surprise because it was so chocolatey and moist.
