    Pork belly and rib eye
    Lynette S.

    This was my first hour of experience so 4 stars because I have no comparison. I bet much enjoyed the all you can eat hot pot. The variety of items available to cook on the broth seemed endless. The vegetables were fresh, the noodles were really good. The meats were good. The sauces were delicious. The servers and staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a party of 7 and we got our own room. I was grateful to get some tips from the more experienced dinners that were there. I would definitely go back to visit the little lamb.

    Various meat, seafood and veggies in spicy broth.

    From an experience stand point this is always a great place to go. We've been coming here for a long time now and always enjoy. That said, service is always a weak point and this last visit was particularly poor. Took a long time to be greeted, order taken, and the. Getting the broth to cook took forever. We will continue to go here but I hope service improves.

    Love love love this place. It's now an all you can eat hot pot place. They still have the paper out where you can order your broth and meat. They put all the veggies, seafood and tofu in a buffet table where you can grab anything you want.

    Been to this place few times but I guess I never reviewed it. It has been 2-3 years since I went last time with a couple of my friends so we decided to go there again. Well, now they offered all you can eat hot pot. So we were like ok, let's do that to compare with other hot pot. Their non all you can eat hot pot menu was small. You choose the broth and the cut of meat you want and they will bring it to you. The rest of the food you go to buffet area. The waiter very nice and attentive. Compare to Korean BBQ, all is self serve including the meat and they have BBQ grilled option. This one only hot pot. Selection also smaller however this place has options of cooked food! There's fried noodles, chicken fritters, duck and few others. Also have noodles station to cook ramen kind of noodle. It was quiet and clean. They also have sauce station where you make your own combination sauce. We think if you only want to do hotpot probably better off to Buffalo little lamb.

    There are two vegetarian broths - mushroom and tomato. You can order a la carte for your add-ins or , Mon-Thurs, there's a flat price option - $27 for unlimited food. The broth is about $4.50, and you go from there. They offer tons of veggies, many soy and tofu options, two types of mushrooms, noodpes, rice cakes, and condiment bar with many sauces, oils, cilantro, peanuts, etc. Thr various tofu options were awesome - especially the dried rolled up one that turns wonderfully spongy in the broth. The tofu skin, which I normally love, didn't absorb much broth. My favorites ended up being enoki mushrooms, dried tofu, Chinese cabbage, noodles, taro, and potatoes. The other stuff was great, too, but these were the items that performed best in the broth. The table has recessed pot heaters where your broth is set. You control the temperature with a knob. Some things cook longer than others, so it's good to have a variety of things in the pot at a time. It's fun to go with a small group and try many add-ins. We had a real feast.

    Brunch buffet

    Good place for buffet. I came here on Sunday around 1PM and took the brunch buffet. There aren't too many options but food is decent and got filled often. I like that they have soy milk. The cake dessert is also very soft. The fried chicken is also good. Other food is a bit salty in my opinion. The restaurant is clean and staffs are friendly. Price is affordable

    weekend buffet
    Julie C.

    idk why this place is rated so low because you get more than what you pay for. as a chinese person who's lived in china for many years, i won't say it's "authentic" but it's probably the best deal for authentic you can get here. the owners are chinese and if you think they're ever rude trust that it's a language barrier. they offer a weekend lunch buffet for only $12 pp before tip + tax, with a GREAT selection. you can't ask for much if you're only paying $12 but i can say i'm fully satisfied with what they provide. weekdays they have all you can eat hotpot which is a great deal too. can't compare it to big city hot pots but it definitely can fulfill your craving.

    First time here, they have a dining room but then they have a karaoke room in the back you can rent. It holds up to 14 people and you do have to spend $150 or more to rent it, an extra 1/2 hour is $17 more. If you have any food sensitivities let them know right away, they did make someone in our party steamed veggies since she can't have gluten, soy, eggs, and mushrooms. The server was very nice and accommodating!

    Service is decent when it's the younger guy. All the other ones don't really tend you. Pricing is alittle bad unless you get buffet. The quality isn't the best either. Overall experience is okay. Only hotpot spot in the area so it'll have to do. 3.4 star experience. Hopefully there will be a better place soon to make them try harder

    Udon noodles in mushroom broth
    Bella B.

    This place is super cool! It's Kinda like the middle part of the melting pot except everyone gets there own broth bowl! I got the mushroom broth. Theres so many choices of what you can cook inside the broth. The stars of course are the meats. I got the thinly slicked ribeye. It was delicious! The corn and udon noodles where also a stand out of what I tried. The sauce bar is also really cool. You can try then by themselves or mix some together to create something new. I really enjoyed the sweet sauce I created. Only one star off as the staff was not very attentive.

    Came here the night before Lunar New Year because it's been a tradition to have hot pot on the eve of CNY ever since I was a kid! I'm glad to see Buffalo Little Lamb is allowing dine-in. I recommend coming here with people who you live with only as you'll be sharing the hot pot. Everything is really clean and the staff is great. They are still allowing you to make your own sauces as long as you wear gloves. The sauce station was spotless!

    Why were we never here before? We stopped here for a late lunch and had the place to ourselves. Understandable since it was a Saturday afternoon around 3:00. We ordered 2 appetizer, scallion pancakes and pork fried dumplings. The pancake was nicely crisp and tasted good but I honestly expected more, maybe bigger? The dumplings were exactly the way I like them with a bit of a kick in the spices. For my meal I got the chicken with black bean sauce and my husband got sesame chicken. The portions were generous. My chicken was tender with plenty of veggies including broccoli, carrots, and onions, all perfectly cooked. I don't like when the veggies are overcookedand almost mushy. The black bean sauce perfectly coated the dish. My husband liked his chicken also. We will definitely be back to try their hot pots. They looked so good when I checked out other reviews!

    Cindy Z.

    for the price and location it's pretty decent. quality of food is sometimes a hit or miss. they have AYCE hot pot for $27 but it's ONLY monday-thursday and you can choose to share a large pot (ying yang) or do personal small pots. friday, saturday and sunday is à la cart. good for gatherings and they have karaoke rooms for larger groups in the back rooms. service is good everyone is super friendly. my go to hot pot restaurant in buffalo.

    What hours are the hot pot buffet?

    Does the Buffett brunch on the weekends including everything on the hotpot menu?

    Hot pot Buffett is only offered from Monday to Thursday evening.

    Would anyone be able to give some first time goer tips?

    When ordering AYCE hot pot, start off with 1-2 protein, veggies, and noodles. You can always order more. I have over-ordered a few times and went into a food coma. But this place is so good! Love it here.

Since then, they've become very commonly put in the best wings group for locals. However, I will say that while that is a great thing for their business, it may be a con too. This is a very small dive bar. Nice sports bar atmosphere and the staff is generally very nice and accommodating. But the last couple times we've been, we've noticed the dip in food service. We showed up at 5pm on a Saturday, and when we walked in, I kid you not, there was not one order of food on any of the tables, and the tables were filled. Very bizarre. I would assume they do a great portion of their business with door dash, and it seems as if that took priority over feeding the customers inside of the actual restaurant. It also seemed extremely overpriced. (I didn't pay much attention in the past about the price.) for 5 single order of wings, order of fingers, 1 order of onion rings, and 1 order of fries, our bill (4 adults and 2 kids) was $172. I could not believe it. You would have thought we ate at Lucia's for that price. While they are still my favorite wings, it's gonna cost you.

The place itself is inviting as you pull up, it's basically a victorian style house converted into what is a very cool, casual, dog friendly, brewery & eatery. The service was instantly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable about their beer selection. I tried several and all were really good. Note: if you like sours try the Cherry Cobbler sour it is over the top tasty! Also had the Cran Orange Ale which I could have drink a second one of easily too. Now on to the food... I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.

The food here is insanely good, which was a huge relief. ​My Matt and I went here for our anniversary. He loves BBQ and I love Indian food, so it worked out perfectly. ​We arrived a tad after four on a Thursday; there was no line. We walked up to the meat carver's station with no one in front of us. ​The menu was clearly posted right above the carving station, but my anxiety meant I genuinely couldn't process it in the moment, even though we weren't being rushed by anything. I kept asking the carvers questions that were answered right on the board in front of me, and they kept a very friendly face and powered through with patience. I appreciate that immensely. ​We found a table on the enclosed patio. There were a few large picnic tables and some other smaller tables in there too. There isn't a ton of space inside, but they have a giant backyard with a bunch of seating. If it had been slightly warmer, we would've opted for the backyard. ​Matt had his three-meat, two-side tray with an added Texas Twinkie and a slice of their housemade milk bread. He wanted to sample as much as possible. We ended up getting four more meals out of the leftovers. ​They brought out my hot link foldie and shells 'n' cheese with candied jalapeños maybe seven minutes later, hot and fresh. ​As I took pictures, I noticed everything glowed! The colors were so vibrant and varied. It was easy to get good photos. ​The flavors were extraordinary. Everything was perfectly prepared. The sliced brisket and the ribs I tried from Matt's tray were the best I have ever had by far. ​The smoked hot link foldie I ordered was incredible. It combined my love of sausage, Indian flavors, and incredibly fresh, buttery, flaky paratha. The slaw and various housemade condiments, pickled onion, and candied jalapeños made it. I would order this a million more times. AND! It's $12. No joke. You want a pizza shop sub that's carelessly thrown together with low-quality, highly processed ingredients for at least $12...or this gorgeous foldie? I could go on and on about everything we tried and how satisfyingly perfect it all was...but try it yourself! You will not be disappointed. There is no "wrong" thing to order from the menu. ​We're already planning a return, and I can't wait!
