You may have been wondering, is Haidilao Hot Pot ever going to open in Burnaby? The answer is yes, it just did!
The hot pot restaurant hailing from China quietly opened its first Canadian location back in December 2018 at 5890 No. 3 Road in Richmond. It then opened a Vancouver outpost in Kitsilano in 2020. Now, Haidilao has opened its biggest BC location yet, and Dished got the exclusive first look.

Late last year, The Pie Hole announced that it would be closing its Kitsilano location after its landlord terminated the lease. Thankfully, the shop was able to find a new home just a few minutes drive from the original location.
The inside of the store is full of retro flare, from old school signs, neon lights, and even a mural painted by owner Jenell Parsons herself.
