    Tom yum soup base and spicy tallow (ridiculously spicy and oily)
    Robyne D.

    I'm uncertain how to rate my experience, because we left feeling bamboozled. When we entered the host asked us what menu we wanted. We explained it was our first time in and he nodded and seated us. Our waitress came over with an iPad and hurried away and said she'd be back. It took a while so we went ahead and ordered the base soups from the iPad, but when the waitress came back she explained how the order was already in and can't be canceled so we couldn't order the deluxe set menu. Which was disappointing, because the cost has now increased significantly. Then she talked us into the dancing noodles, which we agreed on because it was our birthday dinner. Unfortunately, she came back to say it wasn't available because the chef was not working. At this point we should have just left. We ordered lamb, meat, tofu, fish balls, beef tendon balls, assorted vegetables and mushrooms as well as the sauce bar. Food was great, a fun experience with the robot and cooking at the table. Everything was fresh and well organized. I just wish that we were informed of the deluxe menu vs the pick and choose. We left there paying about $150 with tip for 2 people. Tried to email the management as offered, but the email address does not appear to exist as I got a Failure Notice immediately.

    We chose miso, tom yum, chicken broth and can't remember the last one

    Introducing to my American to eat hotpot and they love it. They haven't had Asian hotpot before and they live by Katy area. Food was good as usual but the prices did go up a lot. Overall we like it

    I had seen so these reels pop up and gift packs for your visit to haidilao. You must get the dancing noodles. It's a whole production and definitely worth the cost. The food and pork was good. The fish balls and shrimp balls were definitely fun with a burst of flavor. Though watch out because to does get very hot and you can easily burn your tongue.

    Amazing food with a huge variety of options, it was so hard to choose that we ended up ordering a little of everything, and it was all delicious. The service was outstanding; the staff went above and beyond to explain the menu and suggest great pairings. They were especially kind and patient with our kids, which we truly appreciated. The restaurant has a very modern vibe and honestly feels like stepping into China. Everything was clean, including the bathrooms. If you're looking for a fun, family‑friendly dining experience, this is definitely the place. We'll absolutely be back!

    Whenever I'm craving hot pot in Katy, Haidilao is the place I go to. It's usually busy, but I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a table. The inside of the restaurant is brightly lit, and the mix of music and chatter creates an inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive! They provide aprons, wet wipes, and even hair ties for guests with long hair. They also offer complimentary snacks and appetizers to start your hot pot journey off right. Throughout the meal, they come by often to clear empty plates, which I really appreciate. One thing I love most about Haidilao is their extensive menu. There is so much to choose from! You place your orders on the iPad provided, which is super convenient. Their portions are generous, and I like that some menu items come in a half portion. It makes it easier to try more dishes without committing to a full serving. I highly recommend their spicy pork soup base. I get it every time I'm there! It has the perfect level of spice that stimulates your appetite. I also love their dynamite lobster balls. They have a sweet filling that pairs well with the savory hot pot ingredients. Haidilao also offers a great sauce bar where you can create your own dipping sauce. And don't forget to end your dinner on a sweet note with vanilla and/or chocolate ice cream from the ice cream machine! Although Haidilao is on the pricier side for hot pot, the delicious food, the wonderful service, and the overall experience make it absolutely worth it.

    General: A Chinese Hotpot located in Katy Asia Town. À la carte style, not AYCE. Good: - Clean - Friendly staff - Has private rooms. (requires minimum order amount) - Menu offers a variety of items including pork brain and duck blood. (not sure if I would order that again but I like to try everything once) - You can create your own sauce at the bar with different bases. Bad - Parking is a hassle during busy times. Side note: - Reservation is recommended during peak times. - Chinese hotpot is different than Japanese style shabu shabu. Not really my style of hotpot but I would go again.

    Really solid hot spot with great customer service. They have a sauce bar, which is extra, that allows you to create custom dipping sauces. The sauce bar also holds decent sides such as edamame and chicken. I definitely recommend you get any version of their Tom Yum hotpots. Be aware some of their spicy hotpots are mouth-numbingly spicy. Be sure to ask before ordering. Their ordering is done thru their tablets and makes your experience so much easier. I'll definitely be back in the future.

    Haidilao exceeded all of my expectations. It was such a fun and memorable dining experience! It's easily one of the best hot pot restaurants I've been to. They offer tea and snacks while you wait which was a nice touch. The decor is playful and cute. There are secret phrases you can say to get little freebies. It added to fun. Service was super attentive and friendly. The menu and ordering is on an iPad. You can get up to 4 different broths. We got the spicy pork bone broth, tom yum, tomato and golden. The spicy pork bone broth and tom yum were my favorites. They were so rich and flavorful. After cooking all of the meat and veggies in the broth, it becomes even more delicious. The tomato was also good but not spicy. The golden broth was very plain so I probably wouldn't order that one again. The noodle dance is a must order! it's both entertaining and delicious. The sauce bar was a little overwhelming at first, but you can customize your sauce any way you like. They also had edamame, fruit and some other side dishes at the sauce bar. The soft serve ice cream at the end was way better than I expected with plenty of toppings to add. There's plenty of free parking. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and interactive dining experience. I will definitely be back!

    Haidilao is a great hot pot spot, lots of broths to choose from and plenty of meats as well. The sauce bar has a ton of ingredients and I love the dancing noodles. Not just fun but the thick cut noodles are super good!

    Seen this world famous hotpot chain around the country. Finally decided to give this one on Katy/Houston area a try. Came on a Friday at lunch time and somehow got in with a minimal wait, but the restaurant was packed! All ordering is done on a tablet. Quite honestly, it can be confusing if you are coming for the first time. You basically order everything a la carte... the base soup (plain hot water, or a variety of soup bases like Tom yum, pork bone broth, etc), your veggies, proteins, noodles, and so on with individual prices for everything. Oh, and there's a per person charge for the Appetizer/Sauces/Dessert Bar as well. They had some combo and all you can eat specials advertised, but we were told they were out of most specials except for an all you can eat (protein) lunch combo for $19.99 per head which included fatty beef, chicken, fish, tofu and shrimp paste. Everyone in your party has to participate of any one person wants the unlimited special. I was told the "unlimited" special actually means up to 10 of any one item for our group of 4 that we ordered within 2 hours of being seated. The fatty beef that came with the special was REALLY fatty. The chicken, fish, tofu and shrimp paste were good. Each person picked their own soup bases so we tried plain (water with some dates and gojo berry), Tom yum, mushroom, and pork bone broth. The flavor soup bases tasted fine, but the server did say they all contained msg (and we were all pretty thirsty afterwards). The robots bringing food to your table is a bit gimmicky... and hard to navigate the crowded restaurant with narrow walkways. The table across from us order their "Dancing Noodle" so we were also entertained by someone juggling and pulling noodles in the walkway. Our server was great... very patiently explained the order process, helped prep the shrimp paste for our hotpots, etc. Food was just ok, and the bill adds up fast with all the a la carte orders. Gave them 4 Yelps for the overall experience and great server, but otherwise the food is a 3.5 Yelp at best. Definitely had better all you can eat hotpot deals with decent food in the Houston area, so not sure we'll be back.

    My favorite place to get hot pot! I love how clean and neat this place is and one of my favorite things about this hot pot franchise is the service! There's so many cool little things that mean a lot! I love the huge menu and especially their new promotion of meat o'clock which definitely gets me full! I highly recommend and would come back

    Delicious. The best hotpot restaurant in Houston by quality. They have specials on certain days, particularly AYCE during lunch on weekdays that you should definitely aim for if you eat here, as it can get pretty expensive. My friend and I usually eat a lot and we were stuffed by 5 meat plates. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Tom Yum broth, but all other broths are amazing. Tomato broth is especially great here and different than other places. Haidilao prides themselves on their service and nice amenities, which they did not disappoint with at the Katy location. Remember that you paid for everything so you can take things to-go, and also that there's special phrases you can say to your server to get free stuff like soup broths, fruit, toys, etc.!

Same curved counter, same stainless, same red shirts - and the same man in the cap and beard shucking my oysters, one perfect shell at a time. This place isn't fancy. It's Texas honest. A grounded ship ringed in sun-bleached shells, loud with beer, laughter, and knives hitting the hinge. Folks pack in - oil hands, students, suits - because here, money doesn't decide taste. If you want the Gulf, you come. The oysters are what the Gulf does better than anyone will admit: big, briny, and unapologetic. Pacific and Australian oysters are refined - polite, even. Ours carry warm salt, mineral depth, and a little river memory. They don't whisper; they speak Texas. Menu says a dozen; you get thirteen. That's not a promotion. That's culture. The Michelada? Many places pour a decent one. I won't judge. But drop a fat Gulf oyster in the glass and the drink wears its crown - the way Houstonians know it should. Fried catfish here sets a bar most won't clear: cornmeal crisp, clean-sweet flesh, no mud, no funk. In this part of the country--Texas and our neighbors in Arkansas - we don't just eat catfish; we raise it right and fry it right. That's geography, craft, and pride. Frog legs snap at the joint and stay tender at heart - quiet Southern luxury. Gumbo is Texas gumbo - thicker, smokier, steady. Not Cajun, not Creole; ours. Skip it and your body will notice. Nineteen years ago I had my first Michelada here. Nineteen years later, it's still the best - and that same shucker in the cap is still running the line like time never learned his name. This isn't nostalgia. It's continuity. This isn't "seafood night." It's Houston - served raw, hot, and true. And for anyone wondering, yes - whoever you are, if you want the real thing, you'll end up here. - Dr. C Born elsewhere. Refined by Texas salt & smoke.

This meant, we did not get our crawfish until we were already sitting there for an hour. About halfway into the wait for the crawfish (after the oysters), the fried rice (1/5) showed up, and I have to say, it was underwhelming. It came out room temperature, which to me is cold, and I thought this was just how they do it. Except 15 minutes later, the seats next to us got their fried rice, and it came out piping hot. You could still see the steam coming off of it. Besides being cold, I didn't think the fried rice was that good in terms of flavor. I also generally prefer the short grain rice, and this was more of a long grain. Once the crawfish showed up, we were well past an hour, so we dove right into it. Both the garlic butter and combo mix were great flavor - some of the best I've had in Houston. However.... it made me remember why we did not return. About 20% of the crawfish were TINY. And by tiny, I mean they were smaller than my pinky finger. Maybe I'm a crawfish snob, but at this time of the season, there should not be that many tiny crawfish. Maybe a few small ones, but not tiny. Crawfish flavor = 5+/5, crawfish quality = 2/5, crawfish cook = 3/5. Then I made the mistake of ordering a cluster of snow crab. That took another 30+ min to come out, and it was again room temperature. The service at the bar was fine (4/5), but the kitchen service (1/5) is not something I want to experience again, especially not for the crawfish quality/size. Yes, the flavor was amazing, but I'm not fighting for a table for lukewarm food and 30 min wait time for each dish. The pricing was some of the lowest I've seen ($8.99/lb crawfish), but I'd rather pay $1 more at other places for the quality.

    Plenty of parking in the lot. Nice Louisiana vibes inside. Service was friendly, not as great as we…read morewould have expected. They seemed a bit confused. Not sure if they didn't write our order down correctly or misunderstood? They ended up bringing another server over to assist. Maybe they were new? The food was good and I enjoyed getting a combo of fries and onion rings with my po-boy!

    (I can't believe I haven't posted this review or the return experience. Six months overdue)…read more For the past two birthdays I've been redeeming my birthday rewards here at Babin's! Last Halloween the ball was dropped when they had my to go dish covered in mushrooms, and I requested "no mushrooms ". This year, which is now Last Halloween the sausages were undercooked, even caused me to experience loose stool, I was invited back to make it right. Service were great and very attentive. Now I'm here half a year later trying them again, sitting in the courtyard ordering from their limited menu. Cajun crawfish rolls 9/10 Happy hour drink "crescent city swirl" ($6 frozen concoction category). 9/10 Military discount is honored here. I'm a bit surprised that won't apply points to Landry rewards if military discount applied The AC appeared to be broken because it definitely was warmer than should have been when I arrived I sat in the courtyard area for quite a while before getting anyone's attention to just get a cup of water, which I never got. She told me that the bartender will come collect my order, and I got a drink and an egg rolls.

    Title: CUSTOMER SERVICE - EMPLOYEES ARE A JEWEL…read more I thoroughly enjoy eating at this restaurant. The food is consistently flavorful, and whenever I'm missing New Orleans, this place gives me a taste of home. What keeps me coming back is not just the food, but also the outstanding customer service. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and attentive. Many times, I've placed an order before work, and they have it ready with the same level of care and hospitality as if I were dining in the restaurant. That level of service is truly appreciated. The food is always fresh, hot, and prepared consistently. One of my absolute favorites is the remoulade sauce. It is incredibly flavorful, tasty, and complements the meal perfectly. For health reasons, I recently ordered the Kids Catfish Meal, and it was the perfect choice. The portion size was more than enough, and I even had dirty rice left over to enjoy later. The meal includes an entrée, side, and drink, making it an excellent value for the price. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers both quality food and exceptional customer service on a consistent basis. The employees are truly a jewel, and their dedication does not go unnoticed. Highly recommended! (5 Stars)

There's something for everyone even those who cannot eat seafood because of allergies. The set up is cafeteria style serve yourself. You place your order, grab a tray with flatware, and cups. They give you a buzzer when your food is ready and you seat yourself. It's quick and easy. Service was super fast! We received our food plus any add ons not long after we placed our order. Overall service was excellent.

    I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

    Well it's been awhile since I've been here but I still enjoy this spot. Popped in on a Friday…read moreevening around 7:30pm. Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!
