THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED HaiDiLao Fusion Shabu Restaurant Review:

This Brea Mall eatery is definitely an outlier compared to the chain spots typically wedged in between shops. Its sleek bright red and stark white color scheme also allows it to pop out from its surroundings. Upon entering HaiDiLao, patrons will find the familiar trappings of a shabu-shabu joint, from tabletops adorned with square cooking units to a menu filled with various broths and meats. Appetizers like crispy potato-wrapped shrimp are on hand to get things going. Then, we recommend filling your cooking pot with the house spicy broth, which has a gentle kick (the Sichuan spicy broth is for advanced pepper-heads only). The venue’s light take on fusion fare is represented by its use of unique and upscale meats such as Colorado lamb shoulder and Wagyu beef, accompanied by a generous plate of veggies. Meats are complemented by an array of special sauces concocted by celebrity chef Joachim Splichal. Distinctive ice creams and a compact list of libations round out the experience.
