    Tomato and Mushroom sauce
    Amisha Singh K.

    Had a bit of a rough start - we ordered the vegan soup, but were served the non-vegetarian version instead. The staff caught it and swapped it out before we ate, though it did take quite a bit of time. After that, the experience picked up - the team was accommodating throughout and even gave us a $10 gift card, which was a nice touch. The dancing noodles were a highlight and genuinely fun to watch. The appetizer bar was a great concept, and the self-serve sauce station with recipe guides added a fun, interactive element. The appetizer bar did include fruit, though the selection was fairly limited. Dessert options were also on the thinner side, so don't come expecting much on that front. Minor hiccups aside, it's a fancy, one-of-a-kind experience that's absolutely worth trying at least once.

    Really Fun spot for celebrations with incredibly friendly staff and smooth overall experience. Bella was awesome! We came here twice, once for a birthday and once for Mother's day. Both times the restaurant exceeded expectations. They had plenty of space to feel comfortable and not crammed. Hot pot experience is consistent and easy to enjoy with larger groups. The staff is an absolutely standout. They're hands down the friendliest in the Valley. Super attentive, and always checking in. It makes the whole meal feel extra special. Come during the promotional hours if you want a good deal!

    Our return visit! Great times and even more goodies. Not a birthday party this time but a robust meal was still had. Good for groups, or anyone with an appetite for some a little different.

    This place is awesome! I had dinner with friends here last week and we stopped by after 9pm for the meat o clock hour special. We checked in and waited for a few minutes for the host to sit us down. Once seated, the server quickly came on over to give us the rundown. We ordered meats, noodles, rice, veggies, drinks, and paid extra for the unlimited seasoning bar. We also opted for the dancing noodle show which we thought was super fun. We all ordered different broths and I really enjoyed the spicy broth I picked. I also ordered a milk tea but did not like it as it was not sweet but tasted watered down. We were there about 1.5 hours and service was good. Bathroom was super clean The restaurant was also clean and well lit. It must definitely be very ventilated as it did not smell strong nor did we smell like shabu when we left. Total for 4 people: $210

    Haidilao has the best flavored broth for hot pot. If you haven't had Haidilao before like I haven't, you don't understand. We ordered four different broths and they were all excellent- sichuan hot and spicy, tom yum, pork bone broth, and mushroom flavored. They let the customers use ipad tablet to order desired vegetables, meats, tofu, mushrooms, fish balls, appetizers, and whatever else you want that is on the menu. The customer service was great. The waitress came by and went and took away all the dirty dishes and dirty napkins to provide us with more space to enjoy our meals. I would recommend this place to others in a heart beat. I would also come visit this place again for sure in the near future when I am back in town.

    Haidilao is such an amazing experience - for food and families! I came with my husband and some friends on Monday. We liked it so much, we brought the whole family back on Saturday! The hot pot experience means you pick your broth, protein, veggies, and noodles - cook and eat. The easiest way to explain it, it's like the melting pot, but way better!! Some of the highlights include: vibes, cleanliness, flavor of food and broth, but most importantly the hospitality! WOW. I have two toddlers and taking them out is always a risk, especially my two year old. I hesitated bringing them to a place with boiling broth that you cook your food - so risky! But this place is so kid and family friendly. They know what to expect with kids and they completely cater to the kiddos! They offered kids plates (fries, bao, and melon), they have a robot delivery cart that they always say "hi," to, they give toys to play with, and they have a "noodle dance!" In the last three days since, my kids have asked to go back at least 3x each day! If it's a hit with the kids - it's a hit for us! My whole family loved the experience and the food is so delicious. I'm so grateful for the accommodations, hospitality, service, tastes, and overall experience. 10/5 stars easily! Can't wait to go back.

    Wow wow wow! This service here is phenomenal. This was my first time here and I will admit I was a little surprised that you do have to pay by the dish and it was rather expensive. Unfortunately, there was not an all you can eat option. So I was here with my Mom and the staff were incredible and so nice to us. They gave us complementary tea and they gave us complementary food and they give us a complimentary dancing noodle show. The food was also very good. The vegetables were fresh. The seafood is delicious and the meats were very delicious as well. The sauce bar wasn't bad at all. I was a little surprised that it's not as large of a sauce bar I'm used to when it comes to hot pot, but it was still very good and had the essentials of what I like for my dipping sauce when it comes to hot pot. They did have dessert they had popping pearls and rainbow, jelly, and clear jelly, which was very good. And they also had ice cream, which was also very good. The staff were very good about giving us water. There were pitchers on the side of the table and even though we could've poured our own water the staff often beat us to pouring the water. The staff often checked on us as well to make sure everything was OK. I was really surprised, but please that they give you a complementary hair tie. I do have long hair so that was very good that they gave us a complementary hair tie. I am so enthusiastic about the dancing noodle show. That was complementary and it was by far the most amazing thing I've ever seen at hot pot. A guy came out with a noodle dough ball and basically they have to stretch it. That's traditional noodle making and he liked play with it and like whipped it around the air and it was amazing and I was so thrilled. I definitely would come back here. I really enjoyed my time here. The service was amazing and the food was amazing. However, just do the price alone unfortunately I wouldn't make this a very consistent thing. More like a special occasion, but I really did love this place and I would definitely come back. The ambience is pretty good too. It's very open concept I would say and it's very good for like group gatherings as well.

    We had a super fun time at Haidilao!! Love hotpot and have heard of this place. We were greeted upon arrival (we had a reservation). Our servers were so sweet and even gifted us hand pulled noodles which is a must try. It's slightly pricey but I promise that the quality is so good. We were told that after 9pm, they do all you can eat meats and free ice cream, so I may try that for next time. The restaurant is perfect for gatherings and we saw that they also cater for birthdays and parties. I can't wait to come back.

    I've been here a few times now since opening and service is amazing every time. Very friendly and attentive staff, and the food quality is great. The fortune bags are unique and remind me of fish roe balls but with tofu skin. The bean curd skin here is very soft too, I love it. Tasty meats and good broth flavor. The tomato broth is full of umami and surprised me when I had it because it's never this good anywhere else. Sure, it's a bit pricier than other hot pots, especially if you're going to AYCE but you get what you pay for. Interior is nice and clean as well, very modern looking. I'll be coming back regularly!

    What better place to celebrate Lunar New Year than a hot pot place? People have been asking me recently whether I've tried Haidilao so I figured it would be perfect to try out some huo guo on the first day of the year of the horse. I went with a friend and had reservations just in case it was super busy. We were one of the first people there at opening and while it wasn't busy at 11 the tables filled up later on. One thing that was weird was that you have to register with them on their tablet to be able to order anything. This involves giving your name, email, phone number, etc. I asked if I could opt out and the server sheepishly (despite it not being year of the sheep) replied no. Apparently you accrue points from each dining experience by giving away your data to them. Would you consider that a fair trade off? Anyhoo, after registering we got down to business and started ordering. A little explanation from the server would have helped in navigating the menu and getting information about the different food options but we muddled through OK in the end. If you order their signature noodles it comes with a hand pulled noodle dance where a noodle boss flings, twists and rotates a very long noodle in a Cirque du Soleil-esque fashion before putting it in a bowl for you to dip into your broth. It was quite a show! The noodle itself was delicious, having the perfect amount of chew. Our other food options were quite good, with the exception of the shrimp. It wasn't cleaned so unless you take out the vein yourself you're going to be tasting grit when you eat it after cooking. No bueno! The condiment bar had the most variety I've ever seen at a hot pot place. We made good use of the bar to make our dipping sauces and to indulge in some crispy crunchy shrimp flavored chips. The ambiance was modern and aesthetically pleasing. Everything looked well maintained. Service was slightly lacking. As mentioned before, we would have liked someone to explain the menu more to us and to check up on us more. We did get a refill on our broth so that was good at least. If you get to-go containers they come in paper cups with a plastic lid. The total was pretty pricey in the end, but we ordered with our eyes instead of our stomachs and had food leftover. It is very easy to accrue a lot of $$$ for the total since there are so many delicious sounding options!

    Haidilao Mesa Just an fyi, this restaurant is not an AYCE KBBQ or Hot Pot Sauce bar is $2.99 per person We did the Miso Soup Base along with the Pork Stomach And Chicken Soup Base playing it pretty safe and mild. Dancing Noodle Piece is a must with the show at your table that it comes with as they dazzle you with the Noodle making and stretching. Fun and tasty Kobe Beef Belly Portion is a good selection for the carnivores and goes along ways. A5 Miyazaki Japanese Wagyu Ribeye Portion Pork Belly Portion Prime Rib Eye Portion USDA Bok Choy Napa Cabbage Went here for for a birthday and told our waitress and they did nothing which was disappointing. Overall service was good, I still prefer the AYCE, than this location. Maybe being fairly new, some of the details are not nailed down. San Diego location was much better.

    First time being at Haidilao or any Haidilao location. They had a kiosk station outside to announce wait times and reservation list. Signing up was easy enough and would prompt a text when the table was ready so we got a moment to walk around until then. It didn't leave much time for walking because we were alerted right away. Checking in after that was a little chaotic. Staff seemed overwhelmed and didn't know what to do with us because they were attending to a customer at their gift shop. We were told to sit in the waiting area which was pleasant enough. There were free snacks and beverages. There are board games inside and outdoor games outside. I've never seen an establishment do this and that's a plus for me. Hospitality is the best quality I look for in establishments like this. They have a variety of soup bases to choose from and a sauce bar for an extra charge. We went with herbal, tom yum and mushroom. All were good, but tom yum was our fave. The three noodle set all had unique flavors. One especially tasted citrusy and was a welcome delight! The lamb was sliced thin like all meats and cooks quickly. All are à la cart so can be pricey. It at least caters to everyone's tastes and preferences. We also ordered tea and I noticed that it was over steeped. After mentioning it, they brewed a brand new tea for me! I could tell with first sip immediately. Even though we didn't order much, we left stuffed that night. Thank you!!

    Really enjoyed our meal here! We did 4 broths and they all were amazing. The meats were great, noodles were delicious. They did a whole dance while making the noodles, the kids loved it. Service was impeccable! Everybody we interacted with had amazing energy. I would say the only thing that was a bit of a negative for me was the price. Definitely amazing quality and experience, but it would be more a special occasion place for me than a routine stop.

    A Mesa Asian District Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Asian Cafe Express is a lovely strip mall gem near H-Mart in Mesa's Asian District, and after 21 years in business, it clearly has a loyal following for good reason. We brought in a fresh lobster from H-Mart to try their "bring your own seafood" cooking option and chose the garlic onion stir fry preparation. It's $14.99 for anything under 2 lbs and $7.50/lbs for anything over. It came out excellent, served over crispy egg noodles with classic Asian flavors and plenty of wok-fired goodness. We also enjoyed the Peking pork ribs, which were deboned, tasty, and slightly sweet; the stir-fried green beans, which were fresh and well prepared; and the garlic spicy chicken wings, which were especially flavorful and highly recommended. The red bean drinks were traditional and satisfying, with soft, nicely soaked mung beans and no milk. Service was friendly, efficient, and personal, handled by a couple of ladies who clearly know the restaurant and their customers well. While we were there, plenty of regulars came in for takeout and several tables were happily dining in. Overall, we really enjoyed Asian Cafe Express and were surprised we had not stopped in sooner. Highly recommend, especially for the "bring your own seafood" cooking option and the garlic spicy wings. We will definitely be back.
