If you're planning to dine in Haidilao, you might want to learn these tricks to get freebies, FOC services, and more. PS: Some of these hacks are top secrets! 

1) Ask for freebies

Believe it or not- you can request for hair ties, aprons, and phone wipes. The items will help you eat in peace, without turning you into a mess.

2) Request for at-table service

If you can't be bothered to self-serve, then, get a waiter/waitress to serve you at your table. All you'll need to do is sit back and enjoy your piping hot dishes. 

3) Get their special sauce

Get the water/waitress to prepare Haidilao's special sauce for you. 

4) Skip the fortune bag dumplings


DO NOT order this item! Remember, you have been warned! 

5) Book your free manicure session

You might want to book one as soon as you arrive, as the queue could get very long, especially during rush hours. 

6) Dump the kids

Not literally. But, if you have kids tagging along, you might want to let them play in the playroom while you eat in peace. 

7) Order a noodle dance

Try ordering noodles. The chef will personally do the noodle dance at your tables. Kids love this a lot. 

 8) Celebrate your birthday there

If it's your birthday, the staff will sing a birthday song and treat you with free ice cream. Best part yet- no ID proof is required. 

9) Ask for free snacks

Did you know you could request the staff members to pack free snacks for you to bring home? Some of the tasty snacks to ask for are the popcorn and almond tofu pudding.

10) Get the free magic wand

Kids could get the magic wands for free. So, ask the staff members there. No code is required. 

So, make the most out of your dining experience at Haidilao the next time around.
