What is Hot Pot Hi-Five?

Hot pot is usually a shared meal. Hi-Five simplifies the menu and the way you order so that one person can eat comfortably. Haidilao is a Chinese hot pot chain that opened its first Korean branch in 2014, and this is the first store of its solo brand.

Until now, even people who wanted to go to Haidilao alone often found the relatively high price a barrier. Hi-Five brings the price to around 20,000 won.

Solo sets and prices

From the Hyundai Department Store Pangyo listing:

Premium solo set, mushroom broth19,900 won
Premium solo set, “samseon” seafood broth19,900 won
Xiao su rou (fried pork)4,500 won

Menus and prices can change.

Hours follow the department store. It’s open 10:30–20:00 with last order at 19:30, so a post-work dinner can be tight.

Why a department store?

According to Hankyung, Haidilao has mostly opened street-level stores, but this time it opened its first outlet in a department store. The report reads it as a move to widen its store channels on the strength of the brand’s recognition.

Haidilao opened its first Korean store in 2014 and grew by drawing younger customers. The report says Haidilao Korea’s sales last year were about 117.7 billion won (up 50.9%) and operating profit about 20.2 billion won (up 84.6%). It earned more than 100 billion won from just 11 stores.
