    Went to Happy Lamb Bellevue and experienced hotpot for the first time! It can be a little overwhelming at first, as the menu is quite extensive in options and the restaurant itself was very busy, but staff was super helpful in explaining how to order, recommendations and how to navigate things. The food that came out was super delicious and all seemed really nicely prepared. Our favorite between the original and spicy broths was definitely the spicy one. Would definitely come back!

    We went for AYCE lunch regular with 4 people, one of us had a birthday so we got the 1 free meal with a part of 4. Our first round order we ordered 4 types of meat and it was plenty of food for us 4 plus veggies. The service was attentive and very friendly. We enjoyed our meal in comfort! The decorations were clean. Going at a weekday lunch is very relaxed with limited customers. Note the sauce bar is extra $3/person. Soup is also extra per person. The sauce bar includes desserts so it's worth it if you're looking for fruits, appetizers and dessert.

    Stopped by again on a Saturday night with a reservation at 7pm for 8 people. I usually love this spot and the service but it didn't quite live up to previous visits. I'm giving 3 stars because I love the food and have only had great experiences in the past, but this last dinner was not a great representation. First, you cannot add a party larger than 6 people to the waitlist which I totally understand! The site tells you to contact the restaurant for large parties so I called but it sent me to an automated message asking for my zip code and a PIN number, which I don't have. There is no way to join the waitlist if you are a large group and the phone is not picked up, which is a bit stressful. I finally just added us to the waitlist as a party of 6 and wrote that it would be 8 people and left my number. They called me within a few minutes and set a reservation for 7. We didn't get seated until after 7:30, which was a bit annoying but I understand is not totally their fault. Second, they have changed from using menus and paper to fill out to using iPads at each table. Great in theory as the order gets sent directly to the kitchen, but it made it hard to order with a large group as only two people could look through the menu and order at a time and you could only order 1 broth. Along with this, you can only place an order every 25 minutes (i think?). I think that this would be great for smaller tables or for less busy nights, but because we didn't order with our server, we didn't know multiple plates that we had been waiting on were out of stock. I think they could benefit from a few more employees on weekends and maybe an outdoor waiting area so that the entrance doesn't get packed shoulder to shoulder as people wait! This experience won't prevent me from returning because I love the food so much, but I probably will not be coming back with a group larger than 4 people.

    I hadn't been to this location in a while, and it happened to be happy hour when I stopped by. I like that they replaced the paper menu with an iPad because it allows me to fine-tune the amount I want to order. That said, I noticed the portioning was inconsistent. For items like appetizers, the quantity matched the number I ordered. But for other items, such as vegetables and meatballs, the portions didn't reflect what I selected. During round two, I received fewer vegetables even though I ordered more than in round one. I also received more meatballs than I wanted when I only selected one piece. That was a bit frustrating and made it hard to gauge how much to order. Food was good as usual.

    To be very honest, any Happy Lamb hot pot experience will be a positive one. I've been to one downtown, so I expected a similar experience. I didn't know it would be like THIS though. Let's get into the review. Food This restaurant offers wide variety of meats that you can use for your hot pot as well as different hot pot soups to choose from. I love heat, so I chose the spicy one. We ended up ordering a couple of meats and appetizers, and didn't realize just how much food that was. I highly recommend to start off with two or three meats, and by the time you finish you can gauge if you need to order more. At any rate, the food tasted amazing! If you go, I recommend getting the octopus. Service Shout out to our waiter//server. He was so attentive and engaging, I darn well felt like I was eating at a Michelin star restaurant. But to continue, I can't even remember if I looked down at my glass and my water cup was not full. When we talk about being attentive, that's what we're talking about! He also helped me choose the right selection to complement my food when my preferred was out! His helpfulness definitely added to the experience! Ambiance This restaurant is appropriately dim, with the focus areas of light shining on the tables. That is the vibe that I was going for and I'm so happy that they understood the mission and executed on it. The music was also appropriate. It helps at the mood, not too loud, but just enough for you to speak at regular volume and not be drowned out by the music. All in all, I give this restaurant a 5/5 would recommend. Going here is an absolute MUST if you are craving hot pot.

    The ambiance was nice, the servers very pleasant. The food is ok. I wish the sauce bar was a bit fresher but ok.

    Happy hour as of 2025 December 9th: 2 - 5pm Mon - Fri, classic ayce 29.98, prime ayce 40.98. Applies every day after 9pm Mon - Sun Awesome experience once again, from our server Evan who made sure everything came out fast and nothing was missed. Another server was excellent with helping us but I couldn't get his name! fresh meat and seafood options galore, it was a proper celebratory Christmas meal! Loved that the sauce bar has crawfish, and a spicy tripe & cucumbers along with snack peanuts. My absolute favorites, I could subsist on the sauce bar and ice cream alone. The ordering style is now an ipad instead of paper, and the internet cut out on the pad, but nothing about our service pace or style changed, so everything was fine! Lots of large groups (8 or more people) also came in for Christmas dinner, so it was lively where people were also exchanging gifts at their table, it was so nice to see. Thank you happy lamb for a great time as usual!

    I came back for my moms birthday and we had an amazing time! The selection of appetizers, desserts and sauce options are great and taste good too. Service is amazing, we didn't have a large enough party for the free birthday reward but our waitress brought us a kitty shaped pudding with popping boba that was soooo cute and delicious!

    Upgrading to 5 Stars. Near Premium. Consistency. Service. Menu Selection. Food Quality. Added "Near Premium" to why we return consistently here. I don't mean near premium as a negative, rather it means near top tier meat quality at other hotpots that charge a high price, but with less quantity as those other establishments are not AYCE. The premium AYCE here is great, and a very good bang for the buck. Personally I stick with the Wagyu and Ribeye beef choices now. The lamb used to be my favorite but with the newly added premium beef, its beef all the way now! Bang for the buck, AYCE + quality beef. The consistency and knowing what you'll get everytime you visit is a winning recipe here. Service always friendly, and the menu selection is rather large. Now that is is fall/winter is here, HOTPOT is back in super vogue pose. Not that we don't eat hotpot when its hot out, but nothing beats hotpot on a rainy, chilly, moody romantic day.

    Happy Lamb has been my go-to spot for hot pot for a while now, and it consistently hits the spot. With AYCE, you can load up on all your favorites, and the self-serve sauce bar is always stocked--not just with condiments but also extras like spring rolls, dumplings, fruit, desserts, and more. The staff does a great job keeping things clean, constantly wiping down surfaces, which I always appreciate. My only complaint is that the self-serve bar tends to bottleneck. The line moves slowly and it can block the walkway, which gets a bit inconvenient during busy hours. And it is almost always busy, so I recommend checking the Yelp virtual waitlist to cut down on wait time. I usually check how long the wait is and add myself when I'm about that far out. They recently switched to iPad ordering instead of the old paper system. It's straightforward and easy to use, but personally, I kind of miss the paper. Still, service is consistently attentive, and if something gets missed, they're quick to fix it. Overall, there's a reason I keep coming back--great food, good vibes, and an ideal spot to enjoy hot pot with friends.

    We went here on the happy hour time at 9pm on a weeknight. There is a senior discount for any senior eating there just bring your ID. The food came out pretty quick when we ordered them via their tablet. The soup thought kinda all tasted the same, i think we have their regular broth, one mushroom as well. The staff were nice but honestly not as accommodating perhaps because it was quite busy. The food selection they don't have fried fish cake which is one of my favorites. But that's okay. The fried wonton from the bar is also good. Definitely recommend this place for AYCE.

    Very fast service and seating. Well decorated and clean for the most part. Love all their options for all you can eat and the sauce bar is a must in my opinion. Make sure not to over order on round one because you get three rounds, most people tap out after the second round. I'd come without eating lunch to get your moneys worth! Good amount of parking in the front and nearby. Don't need to upgrade to premium unless you want to.

    This is a solid all-you-can-eat hot pot spot with two pricing options. The higher-priced option includes drinks and wagyu beef, but we chose the cheaper tier. After tax and tip, it came out to about $50 per person, which felt reasonable for AYCE. They also offer a happy hour discount, which makes it an even better deal if you go at the right time. For the soup base, you can choose a combo. We went with a split pot: one spicy mala broth and one tomato broth. Both were flavorful -- the mala had a nice numbing heat without being overwhelming, and the tomato broth was rich and slightly sweet, great for balancing the spice. There's a self-serve sauce bar, appetizers, and fruit included. The selection of meats and vegetables isn't huge, but it covers the essentials: beef, lamb, and a variety of meatballs and fish balls. Everything tasted fresh. The fried chicken wings and brown sugar rice cakes (hong tang ci ba) are also included, which was a pleasant surprise. Both were actually really good -- crispy, flavorful wings and chewy, lightly sweet rice cakes that were perfect to end the meal. Overall, it's a good value for the price, especially during happy hour. Not the largest selection, but solid quality and satisfying experience.

    This is the second buffet I've visited, located in Redmond. There weren't too many customers at…read morelunchtime, but the food was fresh, and at first glance, nothing looked unappetizing. Environment: Redmond is very close to Bellevue, with many big tech companies nearby, so the local spending power is high. As a result, the environment is naturally not an issue. The buffet area is clean and well‑organized, with clearly separated sections: Japanese food, hot dishes, salad, fruit, steamed dim sum, and Western food. The clientele here is noticeably more diverse than at the buffet I visited in Auburn - clearly thanks to the greater variety of food. The seating is spacious. Overall, a big plus. Service: Nothing stood out about the service, except that the staff cleared plates promptly. I think a buffet restaurant should proactively ask customers about their dining experience in order to adjust the menu and introduce new items. After all, constant renewal and innovation are a restaurant's promotional tools. Taste / Food: Steak - The first thing I tried from the Chinese food section. The beef quality wasn't outstanding; it was cooked well‑done and a bit too salty. Not recommended. Sushi - The salmon sushi was fresh. For the Arctic surf clam sushi, each piece came with two slices of clam, but the nori overpowered the delicate flavour of the clam - not recommended. Cantonese steamed dim sum - The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were pre‑made / semi‑finished products. As I've mentioned before, if a restaurant doesn't make them from scratch, using a good semi‑finished product actually becomes a matter of trust. If a good restaurant carefully selects a high‑quality pre‑made product, I think most customers can accept it. The steamed ginger & scallion beef tripe was tender, with a balanced saltiness - recommended. The steamed purple rice cake was also a semi‑finished product, but it was slightly undercooked. Hot dishes - The total number of raw ingredients used in the hot dishes was no more than 15 SKUs, often combined in predictable ways. I tried beef with broccoli, plain stir‑fried broccoli, celery with shrimp, etc. The wok work wasn't particularly impressive. Fruit - When fruit sits out for too long, it oxidises - for example, pineapple and cantaloupe. I was a bit disappointed to see mango pudding in the fruit section. The strawberries were good. Final thoughts: As someone who used to work in the restaurant industry, the key to making a buffet stand out is actually product selection (choice of dishes and ingredients). The profit model of a buffet isn't a secret, so finding great suppliers and competitive purchasing prices becomes critical. The dining experience at a buffet is similar to hot pot - we give the choice to the customers, and they decide for themselves. That's why product selection is even more important for a buffet's competitiveness. Overall, the whole buffet experience is very enjoyable. All in all, recommend

Cozy inside, decent space between tables, and there's even a downstairs. Service is always wonderful, even though we had four servers during our visit as they rotated, we had an excellent experience with tons of attention. They forgot our enoki mushrooms but one quick wave down fixed it without hassle, so appreciate that. Paid about $100 per person each time, but we go a bit hard, could get away with $50-60 per person plus their tasty sauce and food bar. They don't explain the happy hour that well, but during happy hour they have set menus that include sauce bar and unlimited rice or noodles. Unfortunately, we didn't see it until after ordering so paid a bit extra. Pork bone broth is pretty average, a safe choice but nothing special over here. However, their tomato broth is one of the richest around, rich and umami. Luckily everyone gets their own pot which is essentially a cost per person, before ordering menu items. All the beef is so tasty, tender, and perfectly fatty. Great seafood (especially the shrimp paste / shrimp pate).

It does get pretty crowded, but you'll still be able to find a spot. My friend and I came here around 5:30 PM and the place itself is very small. There's probably about 10 tables total, so it's definitely a tight space, but luckily a table opened up right as we walked in. They do have a waitlist, except we were seated right away. We got some waters, which was nice, and wanted to try their fruit teas, so I got a lychee green tea and my friend got their passionfruit green tea. Both were honestly horrible. They tasted like run-down sink water mixed with whatever syrup they use. It was really awful. I thought maybe it was a sugar-level issue, so we politely asked if they could readjust it, but it came back tasting the exact same. I'm very thankful the service was super nice and they removed it from our bill, but I would not recommend any of their fruit drinks at all. For the hot pot, though, it was a completely different story. We ended up getting the rose milky and I got a beef soup, and both were a 10 out of 10. Amazing flavor, great quality, and so much meat, it was incredible. Each hot pot also sits over a small fire, so your food stays hot the entire time, and the staff can turn it off or on whenever you need, which I really loved. The meal also comes with your choice of rice or vermicelli, which is a clear noodle. Overall, the experience was really great. I would definitely come back to Boiling Point. The food was delicious and the service was so nice!

    The braised beef noodle soup here is amazing. The beef is incredibly tender, the noodles are…read moreperfectly cooked and pick up soup well, and the soup is rich and comforting. It is a little on the salty side, though. They also have a few vegetarian options, and my lunch buddy had the vegetarian 99 noodle with fried tofu and really enjoyed it. The scallion pancakes here are flaky perfection, and the cucumber salad is a fresh, garlicky, great choice for a starter. Service here is excellent whether you speak Mandarin or not. Highly recommend!

    Noodle Nine delivers a genuinely authentic dining experience that feels like stepping into a slice…read moreof everyday Asia rather than a polished, commercialized version of it. From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.
