About the restaurant

Hotpot is one of the most signature Chinese cuisines that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a communal meal where a pot of simmering broth is placed in the centre of the table, and diners can choose from a wide range of ingredients, such as thinly sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms and noodles to cook in their chosen flavour of the broth. After which, diners can savour the cooked food in customisable dipping sauces and seasonings.

At Haidilao Hotpot, we are committed to providing a unique and enjoyable dining experience that combines delicious food, a cosy and intimate ambience, and exceptional customer service.

Another excellent dinner at this splendid establishment. Their signature duck is the best peking duck we've had in London. We were a table of 4 and easily demolished a whole duck between us. Very grateful to the staff who allowed us to exceed our alloted 2 hrs dinner time as one of our guests was late.
