Haidilao Hot Pot Seattle

15 Lively Seattle Restaurants for Big Group Dinners

"Sometimes lasting for hours, a hot pot makes the perfect group dinner. And no hot pot spot in Seattle is better-equipped to host large parties than Hai Di Lao’s locations in Downtown’s Pacific Place and the Bellevue Pacific Center, boasting large tables equipped with multiple hot pots. Though there are a few different broth bases, a good combination is mild pork bone broth on one side and numbing-spicy mala broth on the other. The ingredient list and sauce bar have something for everybody, and you can sit back and enjoy entertainment like table-side hand-pulled noodle dancing and Sichuan “face-changing” opera performances in the dining room." - Meg van Huygen, Mark Van Streefkerk, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Adam H.
