    We love coming to haidilao! Also their deal for lunch is such a steal just $25 pp for so much food we were stuffed at the end! They played fun upbeat music! Our server William was so awesome and attentive too!

    We even got red envelopes!

    As part of our annual Lunar New Year tradition, my close friends and I returned to Haidilao for hot pot and it reminded me exactly why this chain is so beloved in the states and China. Definitely make a reservation. Walk-ins were quoted around a three-hour wait when we arrived. Once seated, the staff were incredibly welcoming, walking us through the menu and promotions. Ordering by tablet was seamless. We did a half-and-half with the golden chicken broth and traditional spicy broth which was the perfect balance. I love that you can even opt for four broths for more variety. The sauce bar was fully stocked with complimentary snacks and impressively well-maintained (shoutout to the staff member constantly tidying esp since hot pot sauce bars can get chaotic!). The sweet bun appetizer was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. To top it off, they gave out Year of the Horse red envelopes with motivational quotes for Lunar New Year, plus little snacks to grab on the way out, such thoughtful touches! Great food, impeccable service, and a festive, memorable experience. Im really glad my friends and i celebrated Lunar New Year here.

    I been to haidilao both in the US and in China. The one in the US is definitely not worth the money. You are paying a premium for the same food at other and better hot pot restaurants around town. I wish they had more options at the cold bar too for appetizers. Yes sure, the service is good but when I went there was barely anything that stood out to me. But if you are in China I definitely recommend you checking it out. It's a much better experience and isn't as expensive

    Haidilao Hotpot was such a cool experience! I had never heard of this chain, but my coworker was a huge fan. Now I can see why! We made a same-day reservation for our party of 4. The restaurant was located inside a shopping mall and was very spacious. We ordered two soup bases - the Tomato Soup Base and Tom Yum Soup Base. For proteins, I chose the Kobe Beef Belly, but got to try a wide variety which included Australian Lamb Shoulder, Wagyu Beef, and two different types of fish. We also had Udon Noodles and Fried Beancurd Rolls. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious! The Tomato Soup Base was definitely the classic, but the Tom Yum Soup Base was easily my favorite. I also loved going up to the sauce bar and making my own sauces. I made one by following a posted recipe, but I also made a tasty peanut sauce of my own. The most memorable part of the meal was the Haidilao Dancing Noodle, where a staff member came out and danced with some long noodles before dropping them in the hot pot. Such a fun and unique performance! I enjoyed the robot servers, and every human staff member was friendly and attentive. Overall, awesome for dinner - I am now a huge fan of Haidilao!

    Disclaimer: our visit to Haidilao was on Thanksgiving Day at 8pm. Knowing how popular Haidilao can get and due to it being the holidays, we made a reservation for 8PM online a couple of days in advance. When we arrived, there was a waiting area outside where there was a tablet to join the waitlist. We checked in with the host and let them know we had a reservation and they notified us that if a spot opened early they would let us know. In the waiting area there was even some mint candy (shaped like life savers!), some popcorn snacks, and both hot tea and cold water. The restaurant may not look like much from the front but the back is massive. It looked extremely clean and there was ample amount of tables. Each table has a number on the corner/side which is what the robot screens will show if they're delivering the food to your table. Under the table you're also able to change the heat of the boiling pot. Logistics aside, we ordered Combo A and my partner opted in for the All you can Drink as well. We got to select which items we wanted from Combo A and the items get added to the cart. It may show that you're only able to order one serving of short plate at a time but just check out and start a new order within the Combo A ;). For the All you can Drink, my partner got the mango drink which tasted like the mango syrup on shaved ice. They were out of the other drinks and only had the mango and soda options available. We also had to ask for the status of the drink because it never arrived even after placing the order for about 45 minutes. The protein also didn't come out till about 45 minutes into placing the order so I'm grateful we weren't limited to placing one order at a time. Beef Short Plate - extremely tender and even if we accidentally left it in the pot for a while it never got tough. French Fries - nothing to write home about, they tasted like typical frozen then fried fries. Chinese Fried Dough - loved it! My childhood memory-- they are on the oily side so if you're cautious about that that's something to note. Dessert was red bean and brown sugar jelly with some toppings.

    The multi chambered spicy and mild mushroom bases with the all you can eat, Wagyu, Lamb slices, noodles & dipping sauces.

    The all-you-can-eat deal with the added not all you can eat Wagyu beef is one of my favorite things on this planet. If I could find a way to justify driving to downtown Seattle every day, I would. It has become my favorite spot when I'm downtown.

    Food - we did the premium ayce menu. I was so overwhelmed its hard to know what you want your first time there. And the iPad they give you literally has a countdown. We ordered a little bit of everything but I felt so bad cuz I didn't end up liking some stuff like the tofu skin! Youll never know until you try it though. There's plenty of items at the bar too. But the wagyu and the meatball mix were the best. The buns with the condensed milk were also really good but filling. And this soju had a really good flavor. Service - very attentive. Helpful. But omg I am so embarrassed cuz I tried one of their secret codes and our waiter said they don't do that anymore!!!!! He still brought us toys though hahaha appreciate him. Ambiance - very very busy! Like I made a res and if I didn't the wait would have been 45 mins At 6 pm. But when we left there were maybe 20 people waiting to be sat.

    Haven't been to Hai Di Lao in a couple years and decided to check out the AYCE hot pot. We decided to go with the super saver feast - combo b because it's a better option for the choice of meat. With combo A, you only get 3 types of meat to choose from. When we were going through the iPad, there wasn't an option for New York steak slice, we asked the waiter and he apologized and mentioned that they are currently out of that product. It was unfortunate, which would've been a better cut than the beef tenderloin. It was too fatty. The broth I chose was the tomato broth and it's very flavorful. The Wagyu beef was good but you only get one per person. They also now charge $3.99 per person for dipping sauce which was complementary before. For pricing overall, thought it was overpriced.

    Personalized setup

    This was my first time here. Everything from reservations and getting seated went smoothly. This place is adorable. From the super cute panda mascot to the little touches they add to make your experience memorable. You can a la carte or all you can eat. You can choose your broth and add on from there. Super easy and delicious. This place is definitely a splurge, but a fun experience nonetheless.

    We had a great time at Haidilao! This was our first time at this hotpot, and everything was wonderful. All of the staff were very kind and attentive. The place was busy on a Friday night around 8, but still everything came out fast and efficiently. Every item that came via robot was actually delivered by the wait staff, as they were faster. We got the A set, which had plenty of options for us vegetarians. The tomato soup base is a must, it's so flavorful. We tried a little bit of most veg, all were worth trying! Our favorites were the egg and lotus roots. We also got the unlimited drinks which were super tasty. The sauce bar was fully stocked -we had fruits and dessert from it too. The restaurant is extremely clean and despite being modern in appearance, is inviting. The bathroom offers free mouthwash and toothpicks if needed! The staff also will give you hair ties, aprons, and plenty of napkins.

    You are absolutely correct. 看起来你在海底捞(Haidilao Hot Pot)用餐。这款**鲜派吊龙**(Freshly Sliced Sirloin)是他们近期非常受欢迎的明星单品。 根据 Yelp 和各大社交媒体上的反馈,鲜派吊龙的好评主要集中在以下几点: * **口感鲜嫩:** 吊龙取自牛脊背上的长条肉,肉质细腻且带有适量的油脂,口感比普通肥牛更具弹性。 * **涮煮时间:** 就像立牌上提示的,只需要在锅中烫 **10-15 秒**,肉质变色即可享用,这样能最大限度保留肉汁的鲜美。 * **高性价比:** 相比于昂贵的和牛,吊龙的价格更亲民,但肉香和纹路依然非常出色,是很多食客的必点菜。 如果你目前在西雅图或贝尔维尤(Bellevue)店用餐,这两家店在 Yelp 上的评分都非常高(4.7分左右),服务和菜品质量一直很稳定。 既然点了吊龙,建议可以试试搭配最基础的油碟或简单的酱油葱花,这样最能衬托出牛肉本身的鲜甜!

    Would not recommend the AYCE
    Emily Z.

    I've been to Haidilao about 7 times, and unfortunately the service and quality (which they're most known for) has declined recently. I know it's common to have a lot of rules around AYCE, but Haidilao really took things to extremes that I haven't seen before. We didn't get our meat until about 35 minutes after we initially ordered, while everything else was delivered right away. We were only going to place one meat order to begin with, so this money saving tactic was a bit inconvenient. I'm also pretty sure the 1.5 hour timer on the iPad was moving at a faster speed, like 25-50% faster than a normal clock, which was wild! The broth options are also really limited and the spicy broth had basically no flavor, which was surprising because usually their broths are really flavorful. This was my first time doing AYCE at Haidilao, and honestly the experience rubbed me the wrong way so much that I might not even come back here for regular hotpot anymore. There are plenty of authentic, delicious hotpot restaurants (both a la carte and AYCE) in the area! I am still giving the restaurant three stars because I think the food was good, other than the flavorless broth.

    Very expensive and the you need to order a specific promotion or discounts do not apply. Meat was too thinly sliced so tasted nothing.

For it being less than half an hour before closing, it was packed inside, with two sections of seating for various group sizes, and a casually loud interior with a counter full of water jugs and glass cups in front of a nice plant backdrop with the name of this place in lights. Menu serves a ton of Asian fusion dishes along with some regular entrees and a ton of cocktails and wine. From my sis's recommendation when she went, I got myself the banh mi smash burger after deciding between that and the Pho-rench dip my brother-in-law had. My friend got himself the La Vong fish sandwich, which I didn't get to try though we both did split an order of honey sriracha Brussel sprouts. - For the banh mi smash burger, think of ALL the essential ingredients of a standard banh mi sandwich; then put in a regular beef patty, throw in lemongrass beef as the other meat and add provolone cheese as a complement to the pate-mayo spread. That's what this is in a nutshell, and it tastes exactly like a banh mi sandwich as a result, only in burger form. This was an absolute hit and win for me; beef patty was juicy, condiments were fresh, lemongrass beef was equally as juicy, and the side of fries made this a very filling dish! - I normally don't like Brussel sprouts because of their similar taste profile to asparagus, but I ate a ton of the honey sriracha Brussel sprouts from here. It's sweet and tangy, both of which mask the oddly earthy and bitter tones of regular Brussel sprouts. They're also roasted which further gets rid of that bitter taste I don't enjoy. We rushed a little eating since they were close to closing but we loved everything we got here! I should start keeping a list of places like this one for places I need to make a second and even third visit to for their other dishes.

There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

    A very cute, cozy and comfy cafe in Central District! That being said, good luck finding parking…read morefor this place as street parking gets atrociously full around most times of the day, including Friday night around 8pm. Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour. The Thai green tea latte was just as great to drink. This place is so cozy and cute, and the owner gave us great service. When you do find parking, come here for some drinks and desserts, it'll be worth it!

    Been eyeing this spot for crepe cakes but unfortunately they did not have them on my visit. I asked…read moreand got a generic "not today" so not really sure when they offer them, so can't help provide an update here. On the bright side, there's a clean washroom, the space is small but cozy, and they have wifi plus available. Solid spot to lounge. Would consider coming back crossing my fingers for a crepe cake. Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.
