If ya want a true orthentic style Chinese Hot pot, then Hai zhong lao is the place to visit without question.!!! 🤩😋..
First time eating at Hai Zhong Lao, and on first impression, the restaurant has a very modern Asian design inside with a great layout with individual booths / seating, which gives that bit more privacy to your dining experience. Staff were helpful and attentive, and more than happy to offer any assistance towards navigating your way around the menu.
Offering a wide array of traditional & orthenic foods from Asia style vegetable, fresh sea food or for the meat lovers an array different cuts & skewers. All freshly prepared ready for you to cook either in a hotpot broth of your choice or on the open air yakitori grill. Either way, it makes for an amazing interactive dining experience 🍽..
We tried the Spicey Beef fat an Red oil broth an just Wow!!!! That's cernatliny going shift any cold I might had!🥵🥵. Deffently would recommend for those fancying being that bit more adventurous an like there heat 🌶🔥.!!
The Szechuan pepper certainly leaves ya with a numb throat.. lol, fortunately, we also had the Beef Bone Broth, which was equily as nice, but deffently helped balance the meal!!. 🥵🍜..
Deffently be returning when I'm next in York!!.. 💯 % recommend...
Read moreI've been to Hai Zhong Lao multiple times with my partner and friends since mid April. The first time was for my birthday and we initially booked two/three tables for 12 of us and the manager Qin Yi was absolutely brilliant! She even decorated our tables with balloons and prepared a small cake for me when we got there 🍰 It was an amazing experience, we all enjoyed the food very much. For my friends who'd never had Chinese Hot Pot before, they absolutely loved it and said they'd definitely come back. One of my friends even made a TikTok video showcasing the whole experience from going in to the restaurant to the robot server.
The staffs are always very friendly and helpful, and everything is cleaned properly. You get to get your own extra cutlery and crockery and sauces. They also provide forks and spoons in case some customers can't use chopsticks. The restaurant is very modern but with a slight twist of Chinese culture (such as the Chinese roof decoration at the reception area). The best part is probably the robot servers which all my friends and myself love to bits!
I definitely recommend this restaurant for its staffs, food, drinks, and atmosphere ✨️ Will...
Read moreWe visited Hai Zhong Lao tonight, there were 7 of us. Some wanted Hotpot and some wanted English dishes from the menu, this was no problem for the staff who were very knowledgable about the menu and were able to help a few of us who were not familiar with this style of dining.
The Service was excellent! We were served by both the new manager who was great and a lovely young girl. Our food was brought to the table by a very friendly robot server too! Nothing was a problem for human and robot servers alike! Very helpful and accommodating staff!
The decor of the restaurant was excellent! Changing projections all around the walls make it an ever changing dining experience. The restaurant was bright and very clean too!
The food was incredible! The Hot Pot was a great mean and experience which we would highly recommend to anyone visiting York!
The English dishes on the menu were amazing! We had sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, Foo Yung and House Special Curry. Highly Reccomend this restaurant! I dont often take the time to leave a lengthy review, but this had to be said!
Keep up the good work team! Thank you for your...
