Hai Di Lao at Pacific Place appears to be closed for now. The storefront is boarded up, the crane machine inside is empty, and there does not appear to be any closure notice posted at the entrance.

The restaurant had been a familiar downtown option for all-you-can-eat hot pot and promotional set meals, so the apparent shutdown stands out in a part of Seattle where restaurant turnover is closely watched.

There is still no clear public explanation for what changed. One online business listing describes the location as temporarily closed and says it is scheduled to reopen on January 1, 2028, but that information has not been confirmed by any public announcement tied to the restaurant.

For diners looking for the chain elsewhere in the region, Hai Di Lao still has locations in Bellevue and Southcenter.
