the best part about haidilao is how amazing the service is. our waitress was attentive and helpful, and the manager even came around at the end to ask for feedback. the food was also of good quality, and for a group of people, it was definitely well worth the money because everything tasted really fresh and delicious. highly recommend this place especially if you're celebrating a birthday! they really go out of their way to make the experience special.
also all the menu options came with allergen info which was super helpful. they even had tall dividers we could place on our hotpot in order to prevent other (eg your friends', who dont have allergies) soup bases from splashing into yours. i recommend to gluten free folk
