Wildly Popular Chinese Chain HaiDiLao Hot Pot Will Open in Frisco in March | Eater Dallas

"An indulgent, protein-packed hot pot concept from China will soon debut its first Dallas–Fort Worth location at 9244 Prestmont Place inside the new Frisco Oasis development near Frisco’s outpost of 99 Ranch Market. Founded in China in 1994 and now a massive global chain, it’s known for showy, over-the-top service and luxe amenities served alongside hot pots stuffed with wagyu beef and seafood. The chain takes the hot pot experience seriously, offering drinks and snacks while diners wait, along with hair ties and plastic bags to keep phones from getting damaged by splatters of broth, and it even boasts a unique ventilation system designed to keep lingering hot pot smells out of the restaurant and off diners’ clothes. HaiDiLao has not yet set an official opening date but is expected to open sometime in early March." - Amy McCarthy
