    Revised Review: After my first visit, I had concerns about the service and overall dining experience. Patrick from the management team reached out to me personally, took the time to listen to my feedback, and wanted to make things right. We decided to give Haidilao another shot, and we're glad we did. Our second visit was excellent from beginning to end. Our server, Sam, was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. The overall experience was exactly what we had hoped for. I'm updating my review because I appreciate how seriously the management team took my feedback. Rather than offering a generic apology, they followed through and showed that customer satisfaction truly matters to them. Haidilao exceeded my expectations on our return visit, and I'm happy to update my review to reflect this experience.

    First time at Haidilao, and overall the food was good, though I wasn't a huge fan of the à la carte pricing for the meat selections. We came here for lunch after my niece's promotion with family. Our reservation was already set up, and I appreciated that they had some decorations prepared for the occasion. The restaurant is very cute both inside and out. Near the entrance, there's a beverage bar, complimentary snacks, soft-serve ice cream, and a small waiting area with games to help keep guests entertained while they wait. There's also a sauce bar with a selection of fruits, along with toppings you can use for your ice cream or tea. Ordering is done entirely through a tablet, which makes the process pretty straightforward. There was a wide variety of meats, vegetables, and seafood options available. We also ordered the seafood platter and chose the Tom Yum and spicy pork bone broths. Between the two, the Tom Yum was the favorite for me. It had great flavor. Service was quick and attentive. I was also impressed by the restroom amenities, which included wipes, mouthwash, and dental floss--small touches that show attention to detail. Overall, I'd give Haidilao a 3.8/5. The experience and service were enjoyable, and while I wasn't a fan of the à la carte meat pricing, the flavorful broths, snacks, and thoughtful amenities made for a pleasant visit.

    It was our first time here, it did not disappoint! The staff here are so fun and friendly. There were 4 birthday celebrations here! The hot pot is phenomenal, everything was high quality and delicious. The ambiance is cute, clean and fun! We will be back!

    I've been to Haidilao so many times but I finally wanted to leave a review because we had such a good experience this time around! We celebrated a birthday and they were very accommodating with the fast service and free dessert they gave us! I love how convenient it is to order on the tablet at each table and how the sauce bar is self-serve. All the meats and veggies were super high quality and fresh, my personal favorite being the beef. Will definitely be back with a bigger group because would love to use the function room I've seen they have in the back of the restaurant!

    Haidilao Hot Pot at La Jolla's UTC is such a fun spot to gather with family and friends. It's also perfect for celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a memorable date night. Denise, the manager at this La Jolla location, is an absolutely wonderful manager. Located inside one of my favorite San Diego shopping centers, this restaurant always feels extra welcoming thanks to her. Denisen never fails to forget my name, which is such a thoughtful touch. Whenever I've dined there alone, Denise has even brought over the giant Haidilao panda bear to keep me company in my booth. It's such a sweet gesture, especially considering how busy she is making sure every guest leaves with having an exceptional dining experience! Every server who has assisted me or my friends has been incredibly accommodating, always making sure we're happy with our meals and overall experience. Tonight was my first time trying the AYCE "Meat O'Clock" special for $19.99. Available Monday through Friday after 10:00 PM, this 90-minute offering includes Fatty Beef Brisket, Aussie Lamb Shoulder, Marinated Basa Fish, and Jumbo White Shrimp. For my soup base, I chose the Sukiyaki broth. I've ordered plenty of lamb, beef brisket, and shrimp, which was the perfect way to refuel after a two-hour workout. A few tips: Be sure to sign up for their rewards program to earn points with each visit. Let the host know you've joined so you can spin the prize wheel. When I signed up, I actually won a $20 dining credit! Also, don't miss the famous "dancing noodle" experience. For under $5, when you order dancing noodle menu item, you'll get a fun tableside noodle performance that's quite entertaining! I can't seem to forget the adorable robot cat that delivers menu items to your table. Haidilao Hot Pot San Diego is a casual dining restaurant that offers a lively yet comfortable atmosphere, with warm lighting, sleek modern décor, and such an inviting ambiance that makes every visit feel special!!

    Keila Keila Keila, thanks for providing amazing service and taking care of us. My first time at a Haidilao and was treated so well. We had the $49.99 AYCE option and got to try many things. We love the chicken collagen broth and the tom yum broth. Would want to try the tomato next time. I didn't realize everything we ordered would be huge portions, definitely not what we are used to in Colorado. The hair tie, the snacks, the ziplock bag for phones... all the super considerate touches, all so amazing. The restaurant and the restrooms are all super clean. We really appreciate the experience and hope they expand to Colorado at some point! Thanks for the bday experience and the dancing noodle Keila!!

    My first time eating at a hot pot restaurant. Such a noob! I don't know how anything worked but the staff were super helpful and friendly. Restaurant was really clean and very organized. Top notch service and atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of Al a carte items. We realized later that maybe a combo meal might have been the way to go. That didn't change the fact that my kids love the food and experience. Food was delicious and fun. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely have to try the "sides" and combo meal options.

    We had a good time at Haidilao Hotpot. It wasn't the easiest thing to order because the soup base is ordered (and locked in) first. That seems to rule out the "packaged" options so we had to put the meal pieces together. I think a set menu would be nice. Having said that, once the menu was ordered, it was fun. They do include lots of things and the "appetizer bar" ( which is mostly sauces) is fun. Overall they do healthy business and it is clear why. They have a good model and it is very social. We will come back.

    Headbands!!!
    Christian L.

    The service at Haidilao is always TOP! NOTCH! The front hostess Kelly took amazing care of us even before we sat down to eat, providing us with Panda headbands and enhancing our experience to the max! Would definitely come back again when we're in the area.

    First time here and I can't wait to come back, The restaurant is located next to Zara. Plenty of parking inside UTC. We came on a Tuesday night so it was less crowded, Did the all you can eat for $49.99 I do think that's a little on the pricey side but the experience made it worth it! We were seated right away and greeted by CJ who was so kind and nice about everything! Showed and explained to us everything they had. Lots of seating inside. The food was so good and the soup base tasted very flavorful! Definitely will be back. And thanks to CJ for the awesome customer service!

    Various noodle & veggie options
    Marissa D.

    Surprisingly REALLY good. Hot pot has one essential thing: broth - and this place excelled. We got the chicken, spicy beef tallow & tom yum and all three were insanely flavorful. Meat options & veggie options were also fresh & delicious. The sauce bar was plentiful with great options and if you purchase access to the sauce bar you get match/vanilla ice cream also!

    Went back to Haidilao for the second time after being wowed a couple of years ago while visiting my brother. Possibly due to the Chinese new year coming up this week, it was super busy when I went despite it being an "off" time (around 2:45pm on a Sunday). I was quoted a 30-45 minute wait for a table and it took closer to an hour. Luckily I made it in just in time for their lunch pricing on the AYCE ($49.99). I was initially excited for the AYCE option since last time I went, the main deal running was a $19.99 lunch combo, but I soon came to realize the combo was a much, much better value overall. My main gripe is that almost everything came in full portions, so you couldn't try a large variety. The broccoli and mushrooms, for example, were each about 4x as much as I would have wanted. Also, you can only order one item from each category at a time. It does include a soup base (however, just one) along with the sauce bar (which was less impressive than I remembered it) and ice cream (machine was malfunctioning for a while when I was there). Despite ordering on a tablet, a couple items I ordered never came out (turned out to be a blessing in disguise due to the aforementioned portions). Unlike other Haidilao locations, this one does not have a manicurist. Further, they took away the fun little dental kits in the bathroom (apparently still available by request but significantly less appealing that way). Overall it was a disappointing visit compared to how much I loved my experience last time.

    2-13-26 They currently have all you can eat from Mon-Friday for $50. Loved the Chinese new year themed decorations inside. And service is always great. They have student discounts, but it doesn't apply to the ayce buffet.

    Ask the Community - Haidilao Hotpot

    Are there any all you can eat offers at this time?

    Better to call and ask, as they seem to change often. The last time we went, there was AYcE meat deal

    What is the student discount and meal and does it only apply to ucsd students?

    It applies to all students! it's $35 all you can eat!

    Does this location have a place to nurse babies? Have a 2 month newborn.

    Yes, we have private rooms and changing stations in the restrooms!

    Do any of the broths have shellfish in them? I am thinking of going here with someone, but they have a shellfish allergy.

    No, I don't think they have shellfish in the broth

    Can you have a table for 1?

    Yes! We welcome solo diners and would be happy to provide a table for one. Looking forward to serving you!

    What would you say you pay on average per person before tax/gratuity?

    I pay a lot less than the average. I could get a meal ticket worth 15.99 and pay 20.00 to 25.00. I hope that helps.

    Do they have AYCE, and how much?

    I saw advertisements for it outside but they said they don't do ayce when we went in to eat.

    Hi ! Is the offer 31% off after 9pm still available ?thx

    The 31% is no longer valid, it's a 21% or less on some items. Until the actual amount is counted the real discount is in the freebees. So most discounts are from the comps.

    Does Haidilao sd serve alcohol?

    Yes

    What is there happy hour offer?

    All dishes are 31% off after 9 PM every night.

    Is Yelp a legit place to make a reservation for this restaurant?

    Yes, it is.

    What specials do they have at the moment?

    They change the specials all the time when we go. I believe they do happy a happy hour special. They switch their drinks everytime I go.

    Is their happy hour discount still available?

    Yup

    Do you offer gift certificates or gift cards?

    According to FB, Haidilao does offer gift cards.

    Is this the spot with robots? I heard there's one in La Jolla but I don't see anything in the reviews about any here.

    There are robots, they bring out food but the waiters unload them. They can also make cute faces.

    Is this an AYCE?

    Nope, 100pct a la carte. Everything is itemized.

    Is the the table only big enough for 4?

    We have larger tables that accommodate up to 9 and one table that can fit up to 14 people (depending on how many kids etc.) just give us a call to book those tables!

    Is the australian lamb shoulder halal? i'm aware that most australian lamb and beef are halal but just incase, would anyone know how to confirm whether it's halal or not?

    Hi Sarah! Only our lamb is halal, unfortunately our beef is not halal.

    How can I make a reservation for 5people?

    Call their phone number around 4:30pm. It seems like the phone line doesn't get picked up before that.

    Can you bring pets?

    No, unless it's service animal. But I don't recommend bringing your SA along, given the space is very limited

They don't actually call it Sichuan broth. It's listed as something like "Spicy," but it's close enough. What I wasn't expecting was just how spicy it was. Wow. Next time I'll probably ask if they can tone it down a notch. We also went on a weekday, so dinner was a little cheaper. The meats were all good quality, although a bit fattier than I expected. I usually love fatty cuts like pork belly and toro, but these leaned a little too far in that direction for my taste. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed. One thing I'd love to see improved is the self-serve bar. I wish more of the greens and seafood items were available for guests to serve themselves instead of having to request them from the server. I don't like feeling like I'm constantly asking for things, and I also prefer controlling my own portions. I know exactly how much I'll eat, so I'd rather take only what I need instead of having extra brought to the table. Along those same lines, some of the noodles came packaged in individual portions, and each package was more than I could finish. If they were available loose at the self-serve bar, I could've taken just the amount I wanted and wasted less food. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was friendly, and I had a great experience. And the price is very reasonable. I also learned they have more than 20 locations across the country, so I'll definitely be looking them up the next time I travel.

Strongly recommend the pork jowl!! Great bite to the meat, it's more of a snappy texture with a medium amount of fatty, pairs really well with garlic and chili paste in a lettuce wrap. I also recommend ponzu sauce for dipping! The shabu option is great for building the flavor of the broth, so many ingredient options from the menu and the free grab bar area, I really enjoyed having kimchi and fish sauce in the broth! I recommend dipping your cooked ingredients in their goma sauce if you want a rich nutty/sesame taste. Ambiance 5/5 -Your typical kbbq establishment, it's going to be loud, slightly smokey, pop music, just overall a very blended environment.

My kids absolutely love being treated like real customers. They get to cook their own food and the team addresses them kindly and tends to them. By the nature of this type of meal there is a decent amount of checking in the waitstaff has to do like adjusting cook temps, delivering plates and drinks, coming back for add ons etc so it is a good restaurant experience for kids. They even have high high chairs (not a typo) for the babies. The food is good. Everything is prepped to order... you can literally see people slicing your meat or putting your vegetables together in the back. I come here because I want quality and not the volume of an ACYE place. I'd prefer to spend my calories wisely. I was surprised that it was full but no wait on a weekday. It's hard to find somewhere with a vibe on a weekday but this place has one. It's a short drive from the zoo and Balboa park so I'm sure the team will see us again.

    Japanese hot pot? Ok…read more Driven by the place many many times and always assumed it was a ramen spot. We decided to give it a try after realizing it was hot pot. We walked in and just one other couple was dining. Happy hour from 5-6. Our waitress immediately explained how the menu worked and gave us cooking tips. I ordered the miso broth with pork and toro. We also had the chuck roll and brisket. The chuck roll and the pork were delicious. Would definitely skip the toro and brisket next time. The veggies they served were all great (mushrooms, emoji, bok choy, carrot, spinach, kabocha squash, with the exception of a bit too much cabbage). The experience can a little a bit of an endeavor if you've never done it solo, as you solely have to pay constant attention to the pot while trying to eat at the same time. It can be hard to hold a conversation when your food is boiling boiling hot! Definitely a laborous experience but a fun one!

    I really enjoyed our dinner at MoMo, and I'm sad to see them go. I was given a gift certificate for…read morethe Wagyu dinner for two with drinks, which was a wonderful experience. I love that they have the 2 Batch Soda special flavors, I had the peach and it was great. My friend tried the green tea milk tea, passion fruit tea, and Batch diet cola. I got a bunch of veggies, edamame, cold noodle salad, and the beef stew over rice. The kabocha squash was a little tricky to cook, the enoki mushrooms, cabbage, etc were much easier to deal with, lol. The real star was the wagyu beef. I loved all 3 cuts, and we ordered more of the chuck eye and some pork belly for our extra round. It has spoiled me for normal beef now. The ice cream was a nice extra, I had the black cherry and my friend had the chocolate malt crunch. We each enjoyed our flavors. I don't often spend $60+ on myself for dinner, so it was a nice treat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We went about 5:15 on a Monday, so it wasn't quite as busy. When we left it was pretty packed, especially seeing as this is the last week fir the restaurant.

After that, the restaurant will be relocating to Irvine. My friend, her daughter, and my daughter had lunch there today. We enjoyed our visit and wish the owners all the best in their new home in Irvine.
