“This place is fantastic!!!! The ingredients are simple and pure and high quality and you can easily create your own broth that suits your particular tastes. We had a lot of fun mixing and matching and trying different things. We were lucky to have the manager serving us and it made it even more special. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure.“

“We had such a wonderful first experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The hotpot was incredibly flavorful, and the soup bases were excellent. The sauce section was spotless and very well organized, and all of the food was incredibly fresh and beautifully plated. The vegetables and meats, in particular, were very fresh.
We visited on a weekday during lunch, so not every section of the restaurant was open. What really impressed me was that the staff was still taking the time to thoroughly clean the closed dining section where no guests were sitting. I actually saw employees cleaning and dusting the tops of the light fixtures in that unused area. That level of attention to detail, even in an area that wasn't currently being used, really says a lot about how seriously they take cleanliness. The amount of work they put into keeping the entire dining area clean is remarkable.
A special shout-out to our server, Audrey, who truly made our experience exceptional. Since it was our first time visiting, she took the time to explain how everything worked, recommended meals for us, and showed us how to order. She also helped us with how to properly cook the shrimp paste, which was especially helpful since we were trying it for the first time. She provided us with hand wipes, hair ties, glasses wipes, and aprons as well.
We also witnessed an example of how attentive the service is. The table next to us had been waiting quite a while for their meat entree. Audrey noticed the situation and immediately brought out their missing entree, along with some additional items on the house as an apology for the wait. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making things right for the guests.
The service here is impeccable, and Audrey deserves special recognition for going above and beyond. Combined with the flavorful hotpot, excellent soup bases, freshness of the food, beautiful presentation, and incredible attention to cleanliness, this restaurant made a fantastic first impression. We will definitely be coming back!“

“I just have to say—Haidilao’s service is already legendary, but you, miss, took it to a whole new level. Your smile lit up the whole table, your attentiveness made us feel like VIPs, and you anticipated our needs before we even spoke. From the perfectly timed broth refills to the little towel swaps and that warm, genuine care—you made our meal unforgettable. And yes, you’re absolutely gorgeous, but it’s your kindness and energy that truly stole the show. Thank you for making hotpot feel like a hug. You’re a star!“

“The hot pot was amazing. So many good options. The spicy range was super good, they actually had some very spicy options! The sauce bar was good too. Our serve Jackie was very nice and helpful! Also this was right by the bus stop and train stations so very easy access.“

“This place was absolutely delicious! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly, attentive service that really set the tone for a great night. Even without a reservation, the staff went out of their way to get us seated quickly, which we really appreciated. The food? Even better than we expected! Most dishes we tried were full of flavor and clearly made with care—we ended up sampling quite a bit of the menu because everything looked so good, and honestly, nothing disappointed. It was one of those meals where you keep taking bites long after you’re full just because it’s that good. A special shout-out to the pineapple beer, which was a total surprise hit and is now a new favorite! It was the perfect balance of refreshing and unique—definitely something we’ll be coming back for. Overall, this spot made for such a fun and satisfying date night. We’re already planning our next visit (with a reservation this time!) and can’t wait to try even more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely fantastic service!“

“Pretty solid for it’s price as an AYCE hot pot place. Lamb and beef slices are very thin which is pretty good. They do not have enough vege options- dabaicai, tonghao, and broccoli were the only green leafy vegetables available when we were there. Appetizers wise the fries chicken wings are surprisingly good tho.“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.“

“I remember seeing this place pop up on social media a lot when they first opened as I hear they have probably some of the best Laotian food in the area. I have only had a few Laotian dishes and so I was really looking forward to this spot! I ordered their chicken Pad Lao on DoorDash and was very happy with it as the flavors were some of the best that I have ever had, minus the spice level as I ordered a 4 and it felt very mild.
The next time I visited in person with my mother and brother who were excited to try them out as I raved to them about the food that I had received. We got their 40 minutes before closing but the kind gentleman said nothing about closing soon and let us choose our seats. The inside was decently sizes to accommodate all party sizes. The decor is thoughtful and feels like a cozy home.
Our waiter handed us menus and then got us waters before taking our order. My mom got their pad kee mao with chicken (2 stars), my brother got the pad lao with chicken, I got their traditional Kao Pon, and a order of their lao pork sausages. I was surprised by how fast food arrived as my Kao Pon arrived before the sausages but it wasn't too long before the rest of the food arrived. My family members were also impressed and happy with their food, though they said the spice levels were definitely on the spicier side than other places. We want to come back to try out their other dishes as this is some of the best Laotian and Thai food we have had!“

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“A lively place with plenty of options. You pick your own ingredients and they cook for you. The soup bases are rich and flavorful. It’s pretty loud inside and you had to pay special attention for them to call your number for food pickup. We will definitely go back but maybe when it’s a little cooler weather wise.“

The food was delicious, the portions were good, and the whole meal was really satisfying. Service was friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!“
