East District, Hsinchu City｜海底撈火鍋 新竹店

The service attitude of the store staff is very good, and the soup selection is high. My favorite is pork belly and chicken. The surrounding side dishes and desserts are diversified. I feel full. However, the price of meat is on the high side.

Luxury hotpot with amazing service, very fresh ingredients and prices to match. We loved this restaurant and their attention to detail. When you sit down you’re given an apron, finger wipes and if you’re wearing glasses a lens cleaner. Is that kind of place with that kind of attentiveness (I was thirsty and so my glass was immediately changed for a bigger one). Onto the food we ordered the tomato and the sichuan hot pot soup base - both were delicious. The meat was excellent and could be ordered as a whole or half place. Be aware that it’s an expense place - in terms of value for money the pork was the best meat The portions for the string mushrooms were very generous. I’d also recommend the cucumber (yes in a hotpot) and the fresh noodles, not because you get many but because they were so good. As well as the dishes you order you’re given unlimited cold noodles with carrot, edamame beans, and seaweed. Hai Di Lao is up there with Din Tai Fung - places that taste great but are only for special occasions. Part of what you would normally be paying for is the art of marking fresh noodles at your table and the extra services (getting your nails done, shoes cleaned etc). This can’t happen now because of Covid-19. So be aware of this before you go.

Our favorite restaurant ever
