Haidilao Hot Pot Century City

Whether you have tried hot pot or not this has to be on your list. It?s quite an adventure.. you cook your choice of ingredients in the soup base you picked. Ain?t it cool? We had the real spicy soup base and we were in food heaven : Besides the main course, their mini side dish and sauce bar is also quite impressive. Then, I have to praise their excellent service and attention to detail. They provided us aprons, hair bands for the ladies, endless napkins and plasticbags for phones! I guess it could get messy quick! If you want something different and don?t want to wait hours for dumplings then check this place out.

This was a new experience for me and the staff was very helpful. I enjoyed the protein, the fresh noodles, veggies, and especially the spice bar. I really enjoyed making my own spice sauce to add to my dishes!!!

Great Hot pot experience. I loved the veggie broth and veggie platter. I'm not a fan of meat. I loved the drinks. It was all automated using the electronic pad. I get that the it is the authentic Chinese experience, but I was having difficult eating out of the the dip size container and the small dessert size plates. The chopsticks ???? we're too thick and long i think ???? they were gigantic ans kept falling off on the table. Other than that the taste was amazingand the buffet had a few options to add for a side like matched potatoes with skins and dried soy beans, some sea weed and spiced sauces. The lychee dessert was very good, but no sugar which was a bit tasteless. All in all it was a healthyfood experience that I enjoyed. Service was amazing and water with lemon with serving trolley was convenient to clear the table clean. The star off was for the utensil.

First time trying hot pot and this was honestly such a fun experience. Great fresh ingredients and service was friendly. I love that you get to make your own dipping sauces and get a dancing noodle show as well. Definitely get the dancing noodle.

It?s hotpot weather right now in Los Angeles. Haidilao never disappoints in terms of hotpot. Instead of sticking to the typical beef, pork and chicken try lamb, duck intestines, pork neck, bamboo roots, shrimp paste, tofu noodles, tofu rolls, cabbage and bokchoy. And make sure to get one soy based sauce and another sesame sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Lunch wasn?t so busy and the service was great as usual. We loved our Tom yum broth and the mushroom broth. The onlygripe is the hefty parking fee since they don?t validate. We ended up paying $19 for parking.
