This Haidilao Hotpot branch operates from the third floor of Nanshan Jingji Baina Plaza on Baishi Road in Shahe Street, Nanshan District, part of the nationwide chain famous for its Sichuan mala hotpot and unusually attentive tableside service. The menu is anchored by a mala beef tallow hotpot base, alongside a hand-pulled noodle show performed tableside and shrimp paste hand-made in front of diners. The dining room is bright, modern, and busy, with communal waiting areas offering snacks, manicures, and board games for guests queuing on weekend evenings, and the overall mood is lively rather than intimate. There is no dedicated wine list; the drinks menu focuses on soft drinks, juices, and a handful of beers. Reservations can be made by phone, via the Haidilao app, or through Dianping, but given the chain's popularity a queue is common after 18:30 on weekends even with a booking, and the free noodle-pulling and manicure services are largely aimed at guests waiting for a table.
