Haidilao Hot Pot Bellevue

The 7 Best Hot Pot Restaurants In Seattle

"Hadidilao is an experience. At this popular hot pot chain, they’ll escort you to a booth like you’ve got a FastPass and dance tableside while hand-pulling noodles. And don’t even get us started on all the free stuff (toys, pints of ice cream, lotion, manicures). The bells and whistles are nice, but the hot pot is truly great—their tom yum broth has tons of lemongrass and lime that pair nicely with delicate beef tongue, while the extra-spicy mala broths will have you tearing up over slivers of lamb shoulder. Head to the sauce and toppings bar where you can choose from crispy soybeans, satay sauce, and preserved sichuan pickles. Just watch out for airborne noodles and robot servers." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
