The pair posted a video of their “prank” online, and the outlet, one of the Haidilao nationwide chain, was forced to refund more than 4,000 diners.
The incident took place on February 24, when two 17-year-olds, surnamed Tang and Wu, were dining in a private room at one of the chain’s restaurants in Shanghai.
The drunken duo climbed onto the dining table and urinated into the hotpot while one of them recorded the act on video.
Wu later posted the footage to social media, where it went viral and sparked public outrage, particularly over food safety.
