Very welcoming staff. Service was quite fast, and enthusiastic. I went with family and was happy.


HAIDILAO Landmark 81 - Hot pot restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
Perched on the fifth floor of Landmark 81, Ho Chi Minh City's tallest tower, Haidilao draws crowds willing to wait for a table not just for the hotpot but for the full production around it. Staff greet guests at the elevator, escort them to a waiting lounge stocked with complimentary tea, fresh fruit, and snacks — a buffer that takes the edge off peak-hour queues. Once seated, the cooking broth arrives alongside a spread of meats, with beef and goat cuts drawing particular praise from regulars. The kitchen keeps milk tea and tea topped up without prompting.
What separates this branch from standard hotpot dining is the floor entertainment: staff perform a live noodle-stretching dance at the table, a set piece that draws out phones and raises the energy of the room. After the meal, guests can sit for a complimentary manicure — a Haidilao signature that remains genuinely surprising the first time. Service is attentive and polished, with multiple staff members recognized by name across reviews for their warmth and professionalism.
The clientele skews toward families celebrating milestones, couples treating themselves, and groups looking for a dinner that functions as an event. The 4.9 rating across 84 Google reviews reflects consistent execution on what is an ambitious hospitality concept. One caveat noted by a long-time cardholder: this location has occasionally fallen short of the birthday perks offered at other Vietnamese branches, so expectations around special-occasion extras are worth calibrating in advance.
Reviews
Honestly, the service here is on another level. From the moment you arrive, even during the waiting time, they take care of you with snacks and drinks so you don’t feel like you’re just standing around. Once seated, the staff are incredibly attentive — they notice everything. Your drinks get refilled before you even ask, and they’re always nearby if you need anything. What really stands out are the little extras. If you have kids, there’s a playroom, plus puzzles and colouring activities to keep them occupied. For the ladies, there’s even manicure services available while you wait. There’s even a shoe polishing machine if you’re wearing leather shoes — a small detail, but it shows how thoughtful they are. The condiment bar is also very well maintained — fresh fruits, side dishes, and sauces are always topped up. Everything feels clean and organized, and if anything is out of place, the staff are quick to notice and fix it immediately. They also add fun elements to the experience — the noodle dance performance is always entertaining, and there are even traditional Chinese face-changing performances at certain outlets. If you know the “secret phrases,” you might even get a small free gift, which adds a playful touch, especially for couples or families with kids. Food quality is solid — fresh ingredients, good variety, and nicely presented. Overall, it’s not just about the food — it’s the level of service, attention to detail, and overall experience that really makes this place stand out. Definitely one of the most attentive dining experiences I’ve had.
I was looking for a place to quickly fix a broken nail and happened to notice a small beauty corner at the Haidilao restaurant, so I decided to ask if they could help. The nail technician, Trần Hiểu Hài, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She fixed my nail quickly and very carefully. Honestly, I was absolutely impressed. This level of care for people is something you rarely see. It’s not just service - it’s real hospitality. After such a warm experience, I didn’t even hesitate: now I definitely want to come back here for lunch. Such a pleasant and unexpected experience. Bravo for this approach to guests! ⭐ And at the end they even gave me a small gift 🥰🫶
Delivers on quality and service. When paired together with the nail service, it is worthwhile. Sauces were very good but the beef was just ok. Overall very happy.
One of coolest hot pots I been too. The meat and vegetables has a lot varieties. Tea and milk tea was refilled quickly. Service was excellent tier. Performance such noodle dance and there was another performer was really cool. Highly recommend trying this place.
