A Popular Hot Pot Phuket Central Festival
Haidilao is a popular Chinese hot pot restaurant located on the 7th Floor at Central Festival Phuket, on the outskirts of Phuket Town, specialising in traditional charcoal hot pot dining. The signature feature is a four-compartment pot where you can choose different broth types for each section. Broth options include Tom Yum, mushroom-based soup, tomato soup, three delicacies broth (Saam Sahay), and spicy Mala flavours.
Beyond the quality of the ingredients, the team is one of the things that makes Haidilao so special. Staff often perform short shows in Chinese costumes, skilful juggling with long noodles, and fun birthday celebrations that kids love. The restaurant is known for excellent service, with staff providing helpful guidance, especially for first-time hot pot diners.
Complimentary items include ice cream, fresh fruit, and snacks at the end of your meal. Aprons and protective gear (hair ties, blankets for bags) are provided. A unique feature is the free nail manicure service offered after your meal (at the front of the restaurant, of course, not inside). Menus are displayed on tablets, making it easy to see ingredient descriptions and prices, and easy to order as well.
Haidilao is a Chinese hot pot restaurant chain founded in March 1994 in Jianyang, Sichuan Province, by Zhang Yong and three co-founders who started with just 8,000 Yuan. The name comes from a Mahjong term. From a small roadside café, Haidilao grew to become China’s largest hot pot chain through its distinctive customer-focused philosophy. The brand is known for combining quality food with exceptional service and complimentary extras like manicures and entertainment.
Expect to spend 500–1,000 Baht per person on average, with some meals reaching up to 1,000+ Baht depending on your selections. The restaurant offers a 30% discount promotion that ran until late June (2025).
Popular Menu Items
Recommended dishes include pork neck slices, duck leg, fish balls, fresh tofu, and their noodle specialities. Customers frequently praise the three delicacies: broth and mushroom soup.
Unlike the busy Central World location in Bangkok, this Phuket branch typically has minimal wait times, allowing you to be seated promptly on most days.
