Haidilao Hot Pot opens in Katy

Each Haidilao location features a bar with desserts and appetizers as well as an array of hot pot ingredients and spices. During the soft opening period, Haidilao is open seven days a week for dinner.

With more than 600 corporate-owned locations worldwide, the China-based chain has built-in quality control on a universal level, the release said. Haidilao also has the distinction of being NewQuest's largest restaurant in Katy Grand, occupying a 6,295-square-foot end cap complemented by patio space.

"Haidilao is the best in class in quality and service. That's why we pursued them for Katy Grand," said Rebecca Le, senior vice president of the Houston-based brokerage and development firm, in the release.

Katy Grand, a 30-acre destination development, is located at the intersection of I-10 and the Grand Parkway. The development’s second phase is dedicated to attracting leading brands such as Haidilao and the Michelin-rated Tim Ho Wan to meet the historically high Asian demand in the marketplace, the release said.
