Leila helps us place an order on the tablet and we choose the soups and then she leaves us to pick the ingredients only gently prompting us once when we are slow.Īnd when she sees that my sleeves might be dragging in drips on the table she brings me "shower caps" for my sleeves which she places on my arms. While Chinese restaurant service can be brusque, the service here is like Japanese style service crossed with your favourite Chinese auntie. Everyone talks about how good the service is and it is indeed excellent. They show us to a booth and we are introduced to our lovely waitress Leila. Oh and if you can't be bothered lining up they deliver to your home and set it up for you. However we're a little bit disappointed that the manicure room is only available from Monday to Fridays. Luckily when we first planned this dinner a few weeks ago I booked online so we don't have to wait for a table. The sign at the front tells us that there are exactly 43 tables ahead while another television lets people know of the upcoming availability for small, medium and large groups and the number of parties in line ahead of them. It's located adjacent to the Hoyts cinema on the 6th floor and there's already a large crowd outside waiting for a table. We've just picked her up on Saturday night and our non-sexual throuple are on our way to Haidilao at the Westfield Chatswood. "I don't think I've ever had hot pot," whispers Laura.
Although they've been open in Sydney since June 2020 they don't have much of a social media presence and we had only heard about them when Laura's sister in law dined there and enjoyed it.
The Haidilao chain originated in 1994 in Jianyang, Sichuan and now boasts 935 stores around the world. If you'd like to wake up to a delicious email just enter your email address below. Every morning I send my friends the latest restaurant, recipe or travel story from my blog.
