Hai Di Lao

$$ | Orchard
There is always a very long line at this do-it-yourself Chinese hotpot restaurant, but in Hai Di Lao's case, that's not such a bad thing—while you wait, you can enjoy quirky (and free) services, treats, and swag like gel manicures, popcorn, ice cream, and iPhone screen-protector replacements. It can sometimes take several hours to reach the front of the line, but when you do, you'll realize what the wait was for: the dining experience is highly theatrical. Waiters do extravagant "noodle dances" as they spin dough around their heads, and they offer you free dishes in exchange for solving puzzles, like completing Rubik's cubes or origami challenges. No wonder people don't want to give up their seats.
