Shanghai-based hotpot giant Haidilao has found itself at the center of a controversy after a shocking video surfaced online, showing two teenage boys urinating in their soup while dining at one of its outlets.

Chinese hotpot giant Haidilao said it would compensate over 4,000 diners who had visited one of its outlets in Shanghai after two diners urinated into their hotpot broth. A video showing two men urinating into the broth of their hotpot while dining in a private room at a Haidilao restaurant started circulating online late last month.

One of China's biggest restaurant chains has promised to refund thousands of customers after footage of a patron urinating into a simmering hotpot went viral online, triggering a public outcry.

A popular Chinese restaurant chain is offering refunds to more than 4,100 diners after two teens were caught on video urinating into a vat of hotpot broth.

The restaurant, Haidilao, has offered to compensate 4,000 diners following a public outcry. The teenagers were both drunk, Shanghai police said, and they have now been arrested. T
