Haidilao Hot Pot Arcadia

Hai Di Lao Hot Pot - Review - Arcadia - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This hot pot place in the Westfield is an import from China, where they’re known for their individual (rather than shared) hot pots, and the fact that you can get a neck massage while you wait for your table. Unfortunately, the neck massage didn’t make it to the U.S., but they do have little bags to put your phone in (to avoid soup splashes), a make-your-own sauce bar, and a guy who will come and do a dance while he makes you some noodles. There’s a lot going on here, but that shouldn’t distract you from the fact that the broths are great, the produce is high-quality, and you really shell out for the noodle dancer —a guy who is very good at rolling out noodles while doing an improvisational dance." - Jess Basser Sanders
