Let me start by saying the staff are SO nice. They'll consistently come back to your table and make sure everything is alright. There are booths where you order food to come cooked, and then the hot pot tables where you order the ingredients and cook them yourself. It's very interactive, and they have plenty of meats, vegetables, tofu, dumplings and noodles. You can choose the broth you want at the beginning and they'll bring out the pot. Each pot is split in 2, so you order one regular broth and then a spicy broth. They also have a veggie broth, which I really enjoy. You can grab things from the salad bar, and they have different sauces/oils you can take and add to your soup. You're able to really customize the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fun little experiment you get to do with your friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is busy with customers walking around and staff brining drinks and food, but it's not crazy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We joke that the steam from the soup is a nice facial treatment. Lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can end the night with an ice cream cone and lollipop in the waiting room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been a few times, and I will say the first time is overwhelming with trying to figure out what to do, but after that you get more confident and interested in curating a soup that's to your taste. read more

I normally love coming here, but the employees have changed, and this visit was extremely disappointing. My family of six came in around 5:00 p.m. when the restaurant was nearly empty. Even though there were plenty of larger tables available, [[HIGHLIGHT]]we were told we had to squeeze into a small dirty booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pink/red-haired male employee and the girl with glasses who seated us were rude as hell and acted like we were an inconvenience instead of paying customers. Their attitude alone made us decide to leave without ordering. We've enjoyed coming here for a long time, but this experience changed our minds. Management really needs to address the customer service from those two employees before more loyal customers walk out like we did. read more

Mid. Got there on a Saturday night and waited over an hour to be seated, okay, I get it. It was a Saturday so I won't knock down points for that. Once we were seated though, things went downhill. Only one person out of our four person table had done hot pot before, the rest of us were clueless. The server didn't bother to ask if we understood how to order and were super unhelpful every time we asked a question, kind of waving us off. Apparently you place an order and have to wait 20 minutes before you can place another order? What? I've been to kbbq plenty of times and have never been met with this delay. We got their original soup base and curry base. Both were mid. Not very flavorful until the very very end when we had finished cooking and were ready to leave. Maybe eating boiled meat just isn't for me, but I feel like everything was pretty bland and tasteless. The best part of the meal was the ice cream we grabbed on the way out imo. They gave us $20 off coupons randomly, said we couldn't use them that night. Probably a ploy to get us to go back, but not even with a discount like that would I go back. Straight to the trash. Save yourself and go to kbbq or the Asian buffet that's 10 min away. Disappointing night out with the fam. read more

Located in Beaverton, Happy Lamb is the perfect place to get your hot pot fix. This was my first time, so I went with friends who knew what they were doing, and it was such a great experience.

How have I not written a review for Happy Lamb yet!? One of the best bang-for-your-buck hot pot with AYCE. Been going here for years. Go for a birthday with three others and get a free meal. Join the waitlist on Yelp while at home for a shorter wait time. I always get the half and half with spicy broth and either bone or tomato broth. The only downside of the spicy broth is that it gets pretty salty towards the end. Sauce bar is worth the few extra bucks. The fried chicken wings are where it's at, coming out crispy and hot. Make sure to get the buns with condensed milk at the end for a sweet treat. read more

Sad to see the prices go up again. $2 increase plus the new $2 broth fee per person. That's a $4 increase for the regular menu this year. $5 increase for the premium menu. The menu changes from time to time, and their happy hour seems to come and go as well. For birthdays, the free meal only applies to the regular menu. If you choose the premium menu, they only offer a discount. If you haven't tried, their chicken wings under the starters are actually pretty good when they come out fresh and hot, even better than some dedicated wing spots. However, they are not always fresh and hot, and starters often come out pretty late. From my experience, if I come right when they open around 11:30 AM-12 PM, the meat quality doesn't look as good compared to later in the day. They recently added a reward program based on wait time, similar to other places like Haidilao. I hope they eventually introduce a points-based membership program like other places too. I usually come here once a month and it would be nice to earn points. Service is still a hit or miss, but the food tastes good as usual. read more

This is my go-to spot for hotpot. I love their broth selections, there's always something flavorful whether you want something light or more bold. The quality of the meat is consistently great, and they offer a wide variety of veggies, meat, and add-ons, so you can customize your pot however you like. The restaurant can get busy, so I recommend reserving a table ahead of time through Yelp or walking in a bit early. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dinner rush, especially on weekends, can get packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite the crowds, the staff are always friendly, attentive, and quick to refill broths or bring out extra item The ordering process is super easy. They hand you an iPad where you can select whatever you want, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. I also came in for my free birthday meal, which was a nice bonus. The only requirement is dining with a total of four people, which makes it a fun spot to celebrate with friends or family. Overall, highly recommend if you're craving hotpot! read more

This was my first time eating hot pot here, and our waiter Ryan was incredibly helpful. He was very kind and helpful, and explained everything very well. We even saw a little kid throw his phone into a crevice and cry. Ryan and a young man with red hair helped retrieve the phone. I thought their service was really excellent, and I will definitely come again next time. read more

My bf loves hotpot, and was craving it, so came here for lunch. I'm more if a dry pot person, but I do like AYCE, and like that you can try a variety of things. My bf and I chose our own broths. My bf enjoyed everything, and so did I. I just feel like they should include sauces, instead of charging an additional cost for it. Service was quick and friendly. read more

OK you really can't beat the weekday AYCE deal for $29 and it sounds like now they have set menus for lunch as well. This is for sure our go-to spot to get our hot pot fix and they have added more things to their sauce bar each time we go ($3.99/person). The service is always fast and efficient, though I wouldn't say too friendly. They get you food and they get it done. Lots of seating for all group sizes and the booths are always clean, nice, and comfy. To be honest we don't always make it to Round 2 but that's also because we front load the meat in the first round. Fatty Beef is a MUST and of course pro tip don't fill up on fried rice, wings, and the sauce bar things (spring rolls, sesame balls, etc) but the fried buns with the condensed milk is a must-get for us every time and the fermented cabbage, woodear mushroom, and peanuts provide the acidity and spiciness that pairs well with the rich and decadent broth. Something new that happened I did not expect was the $10 charge for my toddler (she's 3 and ate maybe 3 slices of spam and some sauce bar things) apparently they charge kids 3-5 years old a flat rate of $10 now and they also did charge her for the sauce bar - our whole group opted into the sauce bar. I'm still not sure how to feel about this charge yet...might reconsider bringing her here since I definitely don't think she eats that much to warrant a charge. Anyway, the food quality and taste choices are always solid here. I personally love the tomato broth but all their broths are rich and flavorful and worth a try whether you're a new or seasoned hot-pot consumer. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Mongolian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

The wait is sometimes long but the food is really good. Don't fill up on the appetizers at the sauce bar!

They have a ton of variety of vegetarian/vegan/meat options, and the broths are plentiful. The service was easy, you order on the tablet and they come as soon as they receive the order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment was good too, with a lot of people but lots of booths/seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The curry broth was my favorite, and you can order multiple rounds of protein, veggies and noodles. Happy with our experience here, hot pot in general is a little stressful with preparing all the food and meat, but everything was very easy and the salad bar was awesome (the crab wontons were great!). I will say, I wish the drinks and the salad bar were included the overall price, and think it is a cheap way of generating extra revenue especially since the price for the all you can eat is already a tad pricy at $35 per person. read more

I came in the other day and it was such a delicious experience. They use a tablet to take orders for each round and it was a pretty simple process to ask for refills or another round. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable about their food whenever I had a question. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating areas are a bit busy and cramped when it's a busy hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level is pretty high but I was able to hear my tables conversation well enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A big recommend from me! read more

Oh dear. I've been to HLHP a handful of times before but can't say I'll ever go again. There was definitely a language barrier with the menu, and I'm not sure if they got a new server or menu since my last visit, but I've never had a harder or more confusing time communicating what I'd like to order. The AYCE menu vs the a la carte menu, using Groupon vs using the free birthday meal, and having to have 4 adults in order to use the free birthday meal was all too much. The food was decent, but not worth the trouble it took to order. read more

Despite the name, they have a good variety of vegetarian/vegan options! Their broths can be made vegan so we got 2 hot pots, one as is and one Vegan You can do a half and half, so we got a curry and a spicy one for the vegan pot. The curry was by far my favorite You can get up to 3 rounds of proteins, veggies and rice/noodles The fried rice and noodles were delicious. For protein I got 3 types of tofu, bean curds and a whole assortment of veggies You get a paper menu and you check off all the things you want in the first round, then you give it to them at the end of each round when you are ready for the next servings There is also an AYCE sauce bar for a surcharge which comes with different sauces and oils that you can mix around, plus spring rolls and whatnot Both times we've came, we never could make it to the 3rd round Service was okay, even with no rush it felt like we weren't being checked in on as often as we'd like. At $32 a person before tip, it's not cheap but still worth the experience. Do go hungry for sure! read more

Happy lamb is always booming every time I come in. It's one of my favorite hot pot places. There is a little waiting area across the register. They greet you as soon as you walk in. My family and I always order the half & half broth(original/spicy). The spicy marrow broth is not that spicy in my opinion but it is really flavorful. We order majority of the menu the first round and our favorites the 2nd round. Chicken wings are amazing and crunchy. The sauce bar has so much options, from desserts to little appetizer fit a few extra bucks. read more

Happy Lamb has changed a bit over the years and since my last review but I still feel like they are the best option for AYCE hotpot in the Portland area. When they first opened under Little Sheep the broths were so packed with flavor that you didn't need dipping sauces and your clothes would smell of hot pot and herbs long after leaving. These days the broth is still fantastic but it's no where near as strong as it used to be however they have a $3 sauce bar where you can make your own sauces now which is a nice touch. There's sauces, a few fried finger food options like wonton skins or egg rolls, black fungus, fruits, and other desserts, but unfortunately the old soft serve machine from years ago is no longer present. There's a new premium option now for like $12-15 more but we typically stick with the base option and are plenty satisfied with that. read more

Great options, I think there's value in both the ala carte and AYCE options, it just depends on your appetite. Portions are plenty big, we ordered ala carte two meats and four sides plus two orders of noodles and it was just right for four people. The quality of all of the food was excellent! Half spicy and half original broth is the way to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Could be great for a larger party or just a couple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We continue to go to hot pot here, time after time. It always hits the spot. And prices cannot be beat for the unlimited buffet options. Service has gotten much better the last couple of times.

It has definitely been a wonderful culinary experience! read more

Went with friends who speak Mandarin and I think that may have been to our advantage. Excellent experience, very good food, fun to cook the meat and veggies in the various broths. Mushroom broth was my favorite, we also had curry, tomato and vegetable broths. Fish packets, fish balls, dumplings, lamb, beef, corn, dandelion greens it was all great. Everyone was very kind and prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a little loud with the overhead fans over each table but it didn't interrupt our experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would be great to come back here! read more

Then proceeded to roll her eyes at me. She did bring me the wine but this was rude & embarrassing. Everyone in our group saw this. Horrible way to end our evening. read more

Happy Lamb is a wonderful restaurant. I have been to the one in Flushing, Queens, NY and wanted to try the Portland location. We were not disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was attentive, the booths make for a fun atmosphere and most importantly the flavors are awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved the pork, short cut beef, fresh noodle, and house lamb wonton the most. I will pass on the mussels next time. On a Saturday night we got there at 5 and were seated for 2, by the time we left at 6:15 there was a waitlist. It's approx $34 a person with the sauce bar included. Thank you, Happy Lamb staff! read more

This Hotpot is still our go to location. We love that there are "rounds" so the meat stays fresh while you sit and take your time to cook and eat. Lots of options for meat and veggies. Would like more mushroom choices. The broths are delicious. We recommend getting the half and half. If the spicy side gets too much you can add more of the other side broth in your bowl. The staff don't hover yet get you what you need. Good service. Simple decor and lots of room to not distract from the food. read more

Came for my birthday, party of 4 or more, bday person is free. Plenty of choices, can also upgrade to premium for $40+ otherwise regular adult price $30. Very spacious with lots of seating. Service wasn't great, they don't come back to check on you. Menu isn't truly updated. We ordered fresh watermelon juice, they're out. Ordered certain mochi flavors, they're out. Only had matcha and came in 2 then realized it was supposed to be 3.. made it fancy with whipped cream + bottled Hershey's syrup (gross). Otherwise, food was great, options were enough. Sauce bar was not worth $2.99 to try. Need to fix that bar before you charge.... compared to other places, not nearly comparable. Overall, decent hot pot for price. read more

Updating my review. The service seems to have improved but can still be hit or miss during peak hours. We go with the half and half broth. The meat, veggie, dumpling, and noodle options are good. They have an all you can eat lunch and dinner price and the option to pay for a sauce bar and a premium all you can eat. Personally, I don't the premium is worth the added cost but it is good. read more

Great value for a buffet hot pot! There was a wide selection of broths, meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles, so everyone could customize their own pot. The ingredients were fresh and constantly refilled, which made a big difference. The sauces bar had tons of options, and it was fun mixing different combos. Service was quick and efficient, even during busy hours.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot offered a good quality of hot pot additions. My partner and I went during lunch on a weekday (around 3pm for $28/person) and were seated immediately and saw a handful of other parties. It is a nice place to go to try a variety of items and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate! Portions sizes of each item varies, and we were surprised to get such large quantities of certain things (such as rice, Napa cabbage and the meats). Some portions seemed limited by each round, as we wrote a larger quantity for certain items and didn't get anything more. The afternoon crew for my weekday lunch was very responsive and provided more of the item when we requested it after our third round! The two Broth flavors we got were House Original Bone Marrow and Curry Marrow Broth. We especially loved the House Original Bone Marrow and believe the Curry Marrow Broth was spot on. We will definitely be willing to come here again and loved the variety and flavors that Happy Lamb Hot Pot has to offer. read more

This place is AWESOME. So delicious. And a fantastic deal' we love bringing our friends here to have lunches. Keeps you full for the whole day! So comforting too. The price is pretty good too for all you can eat. I love the sauce making station too. Such a good deal. Service is okay, don't really see the need to tip since you do all the cooking yourself.

Longtime customer deeply disappointed We have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it, so we were excited to come back. Unfortunately, this visit was upsetting and completely unacceptable due to how management treated members of our party with disabilities. My friend has a legitimate service dog. Staff told her she could not enter without a "service dog license," which does not exist and is not legally required. She carries ADA information cards and, only after showing them, was she allowed in--though begrudgingly, with visible annoyance, unhappy looks, and audible sighs from staff. Then they noticed my husband is in an electric wheelchair. I had called ahead specifically to explain that he cannot transfer from his wheelchair and that we needed a table, not a booth. Despite this, we were initially taken to a booth. After some discussion, we were finally seated at a table. After our food arrived, a manager (I assume) came out and told us we needed to move to a corner booth "to be out of the way." I again explained that my husband cannot sit at a booth. The manager suggested he "sit at the end of the booth." Anyone familiar with hot pot tables knows this is not possible--the burner controls are at the end, leaving nowhere to sit, and his wheelchair would have placed him over a foot away from the table. When I refused to move, the manager sighed loudly and stomped away. After that, no one checked on us at all. Being new to using a wheelchair, this experience was humiliating for my husband. No one should be made to feel like a burden simply for requiring basic accessibility. This is not only poor customer service--it is discriminatory. We did our best not to let this ruin our time with friends, but the treatment of the people I love is something I cannot ignore. This behavior from management is unacceptable, and I hope the owners take this seriously and provide proper training on ADA compliance and basic human decency. read more

We had a craving for hot pot. It was a good choice to eat at Happy Lamb. We got the dual soups - spicy sour & mushroom. Round 1 was prime beef, veggies, Tofu, shrimp paste, and lamb meatballs. We also had the cuke salad, and the other stuff at the diy/self-service bar. Once the soup started became richer as it boiled, it tasted a lot saltier. We added some broth and a cup of water to dilute it. Round 2 didn't happen because we were stuffed! Well, R2 was fried buns with sweetened condensed milk. Anyway, it was all good! Service was good as well. read more

It's never too hot for hotpot, we opted for the all you can eat option because then you don't have to worry about the cost and you can order as much as you like! Both cuts of beef were amazing, quality seemed better and portions larger than when we came last year. The beef portions were ample and nice cuts. We also loved the shrimp balls and the hot chicken wings were amazing! Skip the fried rice... it's a huge mountain of it. Otherwise definitley coming back. Lots of parking. Also note you can only add checkmarks for QTY1 of each item per round. Service was good. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot is a great place to chit chat with friends and enjoy some hot soup and tender meats. The service and ambiance is great. They have a waiting area where you can grab a snack and drink tea while you wait. I'd recommend their AYCE and their sauce bar... so worth it! My favorite is their tofu and fish. The portions are big and respective to party size so we usually never get through their 3 rounds. Lots of parking as well! read more

Service was well below expectations for the price. We barely got a greeting and total lack of help even though we said it was our first time. Half our pot wasn't boiling and only asked once if ok. They depend too heavily on the automation to reorder. Lamb Bun and fried rice, not their special, was the only redeeming piece of the meal. Weight staff even left meat tongs on the table despite them touching raw meat and as someone who has been certified in food prep due to our business this was super alarming. Was hoping for a great time with my wife for her birthday but ended up disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cold room and noise of plates banging behind her wasn't helping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We tried the all-you-can-eat menu, and it was a great experience. The variety of meats, vegetables, tofu, and noodles was great, everything was fresh and great quality. They offer a higher-tier meat selection for an additional cost, but we stuck with the regular option and were still very satisfied. A nice surprise was that they had chicken wings, which were unexpectedly delicious. I recommend ordering from the menu options marked with the lamb drawing on the left side of the menu item, those were especially good. They also had other items at an additional cost. Next time, we'll definitely try their skewers. Service was great overall--some staff members don't speak much English, but they were still friendly and very prompt. One small downside is that the sauce bar requires an extra charge, which felt like something that should have been included. Overall, a great hot pot experience with plenty of fresh ingredients and good service. Looking forward to coming back! read more

We frequent this establishment quite often, if it wasn't for the good food that saves this place we would stay away. Our latest trip here we took mom here for her birthday, no discount. Each time we come they have clever ways to up-charge. This time a paid item was listed at $4.95 but we were charged $6.95. We brought this to their attention but was told they could not honor the price listed on the menu because their prices updated just that they haven't updated their menus. I was surprised by this response but happily paid their updated unlisted prices. Also the buns tasted expired and freezer burned. read more
