Known forchainhotpotcrowd-pleaserlong waits
Hai Di Lao is China's most famous hotpot chain and the Wangfujing branch is a reliable, high-energy flagship where the service is famously over-the-top — expect free snacks, manicures while you wait, and noodle-pulling performances. The broth options are excellent (go half-and-half spicy Sichuan and clear bone broth), and the fresh ingredients are consistently high quality. Waits can be very long on weekends; use the app to queue remotely.
