The restaurant is located in Guangsan SOGO, the environment is comfortable but the tables are a bit small, making it suitable to make a reservation in advance to avoid waiting.

Reviews
Environment
The tasting location this time is Hai Di Lao on the 15th floor of Guangsan SOGO. We had a reservation, so we didn't wait too long to enter. If there's a line at the restaurant, there are plenty of services available to pass the time. I feel the tables for dining in are a bit small; if you order too many ingredients, there might not be enough space, but there is no time limit for dining, so you can order in bulk.
Food
There are many items on the menu, and I would recommend a super cool combination:
📍 Slices of meat + Ling Ling roll + Shrimp paste.
You can ask the staff for help rolling it. I was really impressed during my first tasting; the texture is very rich, and the meat slices, whether beef or pork, both work well. Dipping it in a little sauce makes it a delightful experience. 😋
📍 Ice powder dessert.
I highly recommend this dessert option, which comes with fruit, tapioca, and agar jelly. It's cold and refreshing, a bit sweet but not overly so, and I couldn't help but keep eating—finishing the bowl in no time!
Parking
Scooters 🛵 can be parked at the plaza in front of the entrance.
Cars 🚗 have access to the department store’s underground parking lot 🅿️.
Service
The service at Hai Di Lao is truly excellent. However, it also depends on the server's level of experience and their interaction with customers. The server I encountered this time, Mei Qi, made my dining experience very satisfying, and I was surprised that such great service didn't come with a service charge. I highly recommend it!

Every service staff is friendly from the time you arrive to the time you leave.
During the meal, the waiters passing by will casually help replenish the soup and water, and catch the floating foam.
My friend didn’t even notice the hydration part🤣
When we ordered crayfish, we were asked if we could help remove the shrimp shells. It was really considerate.
When you serve the meal, you will be told how long each ingredient needs to be cooked.
❣️Crayfish, shrimp paste, Sabah fish fillet, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, must order👍
🌟It’s delicious but it depends on the eating part
- Brain flower
It tastes soft and tender. I quite like it😍
(The pork belly and chicken pot has a strong fishy smell under the brain. I can accept it.
Put it in the spicy pot. The fishy smell is much reduced and it is more delicious. Highly recommended! ! ) - Braised food platter (tripe, beef tendon and fat sausage)
Especially the beef tendon is so soft and delicious
Other items are just average. - Lo Mein
I like noodles with texture very much
Recommend making it into wide noodles! You can also perform a face-dumping show🤣
The rest of the items are just average, it depends on personal preference.
If you want to get your nails done, you can draw a number plate first.
We waited until we were seated before we were seated. It was almost 22:00 and we still didn’t get in line😔
Finally, don’t forget to eat the Haagen-Dazs outside🤤
