Looks like this location has finally jumped on the AYCE bandwagon, joining the other locations. With that said, the AYCE here is different. Parking is available in the Lansdowne lot. The interior has more of a traditional look, with booths surrounded by wooden posts. Staff are friendly and quick. As of the time of writing, there is an AYCE special (7 days, all day) that consists only of beef and lamb slices. The tradeoff is that the price is lower than the other locations. Sauces and soup bases are extra. Orders are done via tablet. One thing that is neat is that they have soup pots here that can carry 3 different broths instead of just 1 or 2. Special mention. Oh yeah, the fish maw broth is pretty good. The soup ladles don't all have hooks, but they don't exactly "fit" the large soup pots either. Best to just use communal chopsticks instead. The orders come quite quickly. Many cows and lambs were eaten. Overall it was a pretty good experience. Recommended.
Located inside/by Landsdowne Mall. Plenty of parking. It wasn't that busy when I went. This is my second time coming here. I ordered mussels and different beef platters (this is not AYCE) some vegetables, chicken wings and the clear broth. The service was good. Sauce area could use some cleaning up. But hey... it's meant to be messy, I guess. Get the donut...... it's massive.
Love the variety of meats, veggies and broth this place offers. Loved the Tomato based soup broth and never thought I would. Price is quite decent and meats are fresh. We ordered lamb and it tasted fresh without a heavy smell. Service was great too. We will be back for sure
CURRY SOUP BASEhappy lamb has recently introduced their new curry soup base and it's definitely a unique flavour with the meats. It's an acquired taste as it's so rich in spices but if you like that mini kick on your meat then check it out! * Love how they have 3 locations, the Richmond one is a la carte but still delicious. * I highly recommend checking out the Richmond location for their late night happy hour as the meat plates are such a steal!
We came on a Saturday for dinner. We had made reservations for 7pm but were asked to wait. We didn't wait for too long but were told that the next available table was for the individual hotpot section and not the shared section (what is the point of making reservations if this is by next available table). Tip: when you make reservations specify what kind of table you want or they will force you to go to the single hotpot tables (higher price as you need to order individual hot pots but shorter wait time) On to the food. We ordered the hot soup, tomato soup and clear broth. All were not bad. The hot soup isn't very hot so if you want it hotter don't order medium spice. The tomato soup had strong and sour tomato flavours. The lamb skewers were pretty delicious and we can see why they are a popular item. Very tender and well seasoned. Would recommend ordering medium spicy (not too spicy). Don't get the australian lamb and beef plate. For the meats, I would recommend getting the yipin fat cow. It gives you the most bang for your buck. The flavour is better than the beef short rib. We also got the shrimp paste and the ball platter. Both worth getting as they taste like freshly made balls. Very bouncy and delicious The handmade noodles are also worth getting as they are fresh noodles. They soak up the broth well and great for finishing your dinner. Overall the service is mediocre but the food is okay. The price can get quite steep if you aren't careful about ordering. Would recommend you get the yipin fat cow, handmade noodles, shrimp paste, ball platter. For the soup base would recommend medium to hot spicy soup. I actually came for the cat robot but only got a glimpse of it once (it usually comes with your first order so get your pictures in then).
The Richmond location of Happy Lamb chain of hotpot restaurants. Used to be called Little Sheep. It's located next the the east entrance of Lansdowne Mall. Mid size restaurant, nice decor. They have a variety of tables, some with a stove for each person, and other tables with one or more larger stoves for people to share. We had a reservation on a weekend, and waited a few minutes for our table. Restaurant was mostly full, but there wasn't a line of people waiting. There are sauce bars at both the front and the back of the restaurant. The back sauce bar also had two dessert tray and a fruit tray with two types of fruit. In terms of appetizers/snacks at the sauce bar, they had edamame and black cloud fungi, so pretty limited selection there. Unlike some other Happy Lamb locations, this one doesn't have an all-you-can-eat option, so it's a la cart. Didn't look into the menu in depth but most of the items you'd expect are there. Particularly they have a good number of lamb and beef cuts. We tried the "lamb brain meat" which is thick sliced lamb served on a board that supposedly comes from near the brain. Tasted pretty good. We got the non-spicy broth which was good, although you would need to add some water to drink it since the broth is salty. No complaints on the lamb, beef, seafood and shrimp paste we ordered. We also ordered their fried dough. For $9, it's pretty expensive for a fried dough, but that thing is gigantic, has a super crispy skin, and will fill up your stomach if the hotpot didn't quite do the job. Our bill was $135 for 3 people. Overall tasted good, comparable to something like Haidilao. Probably a little cheaper than HDL, in exchange for less service, although Happy Lamb also has a robot for carrying trays. We were definitely full, especially thanks to the fried dough. They give a 10% discount for cash payment, so make sure you have some cash on hand. They have some good happy hour (before or after normal dinner hour) deals, which we didn't take advantage of.
Our amazing friends treated us to hot pot today and we absolutely loved everything about it! The meat was fresh and their broth was excellent! A tad too salty but that's what hot pot broth is usually is at these types of hot pot restaurants. We had a little bit of lamb and beef, some lamb skewers, lots of tofu, meatballs and fresh noodles. The condiment/sauce station was packed with a wide selection and I loved that they had Edamame beans! They had fruits and some dessert. I had no room for free ice cream afterwards but an enjoyable mean and a very vibrant environment!
Great deal for hotpot if you come during their happy hour! At least for now, from 1:30-4, you can get 32% off all food orders. I don't know how long they'll have this promotion around for, so check with them if you're not sure. My group of 4 came for a late lunch at 2:30, and because of the happy hour, it was super packed even then. Definitely make reservations before coming! You can either choose to share a pot (whole or split) among your group or do individual pots. We chose to do individual as everyone wanted a different broth. I went with the original clear broth and liked it (though it started tasting a bit too bitter and salty near the end...), but I tried the tomato broth and liked that as well. All broths are $8.99. We ordered a ton of meat and veggies to share. Everything was very fresh and presentation was good. Your orders are served by a cute little robot that comes right up to your table. My personal favorites were the wagyu beef ($25.99), the shrimp paste ($14.99), the mixed mushrooms ($10.99), and the handmade noodles ($5.98). The sauce bar is all DIY with plenty of options, including a leek sauce that I've never seen before at any other restaurant. In addition, you can help yourself to free unlimited servings of fruit (it was orange slices and honeydew on the day we came), edamame, black woodear fungus, and some other desserts. They do charge $2 pp for the dessert/sauce bar, but I thought it was worth it.
Entering the new year with a hot pot meal at Little Lamb Hot Pot. This is not an AYCE like the other restaurants with the same name. When I called in to confirm I did not get a friendly answer on this topic. Anyhow we wanted hot pot so booked for a reservation to try it out. The restaurant is spacious & clean and have plexiglass dividers. A Robot delivers food to your table. There are two bars to make your own dipping sauces. The bigger bar by the kitchen also have appetizers like pickled fungus and edamames and desserts. Wished more people were more aware of using the gloves at the sauce bar. A better signage should be in place. All orders were made on a computer pad at the table. It was easy to navigate. We ordered a split broth of spice and non spicy soup, lamb, beef (no chicken but had pork), shrimp paste, puff tofu, assorted mushrooms, greens, donuts (so yummy as it was freshly cooked and crispy) and noodles for 3 people. Prices and portions were reasonable. At the end of the meal you get an ice cream on a stick. We enjoyed our meal and the staff were helpful and friendly. We had a newbie in the group and he certainly enjoyed his first time hot potting! Might return for happy hour.
this place is awesome. We ordered lamb and pork for our meat with some mushroom broth/soup and it came in pretty reasonable time for a restaurant like this. Also we ordered the hand made noodles which tasted really nice combined with the pork. The food came to us by a robot. Wow i get why this place has a lotta customers.
This place was superb .such efficient , attentive and quick service . The hotpot providing a were wonderful . Bill for 4 people will generally run you about $120. But a great experience . The robot tray server is a hoot
We stopped by for the happy hour beef and lamb promotion ($3.99/plate after 8 pm). Service was underwhelming. Some of the servers would avoid looking at our direction when we needed assistance. The broth and food selection was good. I enjoyed the sauce bar as well. You get a popsicle for dessert before you leave. If you want value, the this is an okay option. However, do not expect much service.
LATE NIGHT SPECIAL PRICE CHANGE!! Meat - Cow (beef) 7/10 & Lamb shoulder 8/10, $3.99 per plate: Late night special, 8pm-closing! It used to be $2.99 per plate but that changed not too long ago. The beef was more on the fatty side & the lamb was soft, so overall quality was standard. The portions could be improved, I would get 10 pieces for one plate and then 13 for another. The price is still good for late night if you love meat! The soup, veggies and noodles that we got was pretty good though. I went in on a Saturday night, the restaurant was full so me & my friend waited for 5 mins until we got seated. Shortly after, we ordered our food and everything came quickly! Throughout the night the servers didn't check in much aside from cleaning dishes, and the only time they refilled our soup was when we were basically done our food with 1 piece of lettuce in our pots. What stood out to me was when my friend was paying, the server was staring down at my friend & the card machine to see how much we tip. I understand tipping is important, although it felt kind of forced on our end with the % tip they wanted from us. They also have a sauce bar that is $2.99 per person. (old price, $1.99) This is optional, and you can add that on their ipad when you order. We did not choose the sauce bar since we didn't want additional snacks, but when I looked at the bill they charged us for it, so I kindly asked to remove it and the server did. I recommend checking the bill before you pay! I do like Happy Lamb & the service is usually decent, hopefully this just a 1 time miss! The free melona bar is always a bonus. Its a chill place to hang w/ friends since they also have private rooms!

My family loves coming here for lunch. You get a variety of meat, vegetables and sides. You can also create your own dip, which makes the experience even better. I love the individual pot setup, which allows every diner to get what they want. There's a variety of meat to choose from. You don't need to be an expert to cook your food. Everything comes out great and is rarely overcooked. To avoid overcooking your veggies and meat, just put one serving of the ingredients for each round. Once it boils, you're ready to go! read more
If you're looking for cheap hotpot ayce, happy lamb is the place. They have an 18.95 deal that includes only the meat, but where else can you find a deal like that now a days??? As usual with terms and conditions, you do have to pay separately for the broth and anything else, but you'd still be coming ahead. Around $40 per person tips in. read more
=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE What?! All you can eat hot pot for $18.99 per person, any day, all-day and kids eat free?? It's not perfect, but it's pretty decent, so sign me up :) === 2. FOOD The cost of entry is pretty low: $18.99 per adult for all-you-can-eat hot pot and it comes with: - As much beef and lamb as you would like. - Choice of clear water or chicken broth for soup. Anything else: other or better quality meats, other broth choices, vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, plum juice, etc, all costs extra. What's neat: - Wide range of selection for food. - Kids eat free (families - rejoice!). - The meat orders are filled quickly (unlike other AYCE places). - DIY sauce bar is decent. - The milk ice cream bar is authentic comes straight from Asia. - Private rooms offer individual burners: everyone gets their own small pot and choice of broth! Is there a downside? The self-serve buffet may seem small by comparison to other restaurants, only serving: - Three types of cake for dessert (mango, chocolate, vanilla/coconut). - Edamame - Peach slices and honeydew chunks. - Peanuts and chilli flakes. - (No hot foods or otherwise.) - It was all good - but you may or may not be wanting more. Oh...the beef slices seem a little on the fatty side compared to every other hot pot restaurant I've ever been to around the world - not a bad thing per se (you're boiling a lot off) but something interesting here - I presume likely to keep the costs down. === 3. SERVICE Wait staff appeared to speak Cantonese and Mandarin with some able to speak a little English (thankfully for me!). All (many brought in different dishes) were quick, efficient, and professional. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the typical hot pot restaurant experience - on the cleaner/brighter/more modern side compared to some in Richmond. Despite the busy nature of the place, the ventilation works well - your clothes won't smell completely like hot pot on exit :). Wheelchairs and baby strollers would have no issue here. Parking is literally right outside in the expansive Lansdowne Centre parking lot. read more

There are two busiest windows here : everyday 1:30 - 4:00 pm when the whole bill gets 32% off , and every night after 8 when plates of beef or lamb slices are available for a jaw-dropping $2.99 . No wonder a ton of teenagers flooded in right after 8 the night we went . Meat and veg are fresh and well presented , but the over-the-top salty " original " soup broth is almost a deal-breaker for me . The tomato soup is still very sodium-rich but at least it's bearable . Each diner gets automatically dinged two bucks for dipping sauces , fruits and desserts like cream puffs and Melonas ( ! ) . read more

This place is BUSY! Make sure you make yours reservations or you won't get a table. The soup is good and the price is reasonable. Staff are friendly but they're always busy so be patient. Wish they have more selection on the menu. My friend doesn't eat beef and lamb so she can only order pork (There's no chicken or other type on the menu). Overall is great and I would recommend to friends read more
Regardless of price, quality, and portion, it is at top-notch, and I had a great experience with my friends here. * INTERIOR * The owner revamped the interior, and it is now spacious, modern, and clean. About two-third of the restaurant is filled with sofa seats, and the remaining is seats for small groups (1-4 people). There are also four VIP rooms, which currently allow a maximum of 6 people due to COVID-19. Customers can choose between individual pots or classic big pots. In addition, there is a kid's zone in which the children can have fun safely while the parents are enjoying the meal. Unfortunately, the area is not open during this time. Near the exit, there is a deodorizer machine that can remove the smell from hotpot. * POST COVID-19 DINE-IN EXPERIENCE * As the restaurant is very spacious, there is no problem with social distancing. I went on a weekend during dinner time, in which guests are scattered and dined in different corners of the restaurant. All customers are required to check the temperature before entering the restaurant. All staff wears masks and gloves, and I felt safe dining here. Customers order directly from the iPad, which also minimizes your contact with servers. * DRINKS * We ordered both Sour Plum Juice and Fresh Coconut Water, and I think they are the best pairing with hot pots. Sour Plum Juice comes in a pitcher, and it is refreshing with minimal sugar. "Sour plum" flavor is strong. I personally prefer the Fresh Coconut Water more, as it is literally served directly with the coconut. It is light, refreshing, and it helps clean my palette. * SOUP BROTH * Soup broth is the soul of hot pot, and there are two most popular broths that I would recommend - House Original and House Spicy. They are rich and milky-looking from the simmering beef bones and they do not contain any MSG. So feel free to dig in and drink some before the feast. For the House Spicy, Phil, the manager, explained that Mongolian hot pot is not meant to be spicy, instead, it is more aromatic. You can adjust the spiciness as well. I enjoyed both broths, but I do prefer the House Original more especially for cooking vegetables at the end. Tomato broth is available for vegetarians as well. * SAUCE * Though the self-served sauce station is not available, customers can order their preferred sauce and toppings, and the servers will bring them over in individual bowls. * FOOD * We ordered almost every signature item on the menu. Happy Lamb Hot Pot offers fresh and high-quality ingredients, with great portion and price. All dishes are presented as the photos shown on the menu, and they are totally instagrammable. And here are some of the items I recommend: Each order of Lamb Skewers has 4 skewers, and I am surprised by its tenderness. It is also flavorful. I might have to admit that they are the best ones in Vancouver. Prime Boneless Short Ribs (8oz) is fresh, tender, but also budget-friendly. For $15.99, you can get this plate loaded with high-quality beef. It has the perfect proportion of fat and lean, which is perfect for hot pot. This would be my go-to meat dish for my future visits. Wagyu Beef Set is on a pricier set, but its quality and quantity is totally worth the money. It comes with Wagyu meat and Wagyu Cubes. The Wagyu Cubes is my favourite; unlike the ones I tried elsewhere, this remains tender even it is slightly overcooked. I am in love with Shrimp Paste. They are freshly prepared in house. The Shrimp Paste comes with three tubes, which I think the portion is too generous, but it is great for large groups. It is bouncy with no fishiness, and I don't think it needs any dipping as it has enough flavor on its own. For dessert, I recommend trying the Brown Sugar Fried Mochi, which is dipped in soybean powder and brown sugar syrup. I enjoy the contrasting texture of crispy skin and soft mochi. This is not oily and very delightful to end the meal. *** Overall Impression *** Overall, the dining experience is great, with comfortable and spacious seatings. My friends and I felt safe dining here, and we would return again. Some of the highlight dishes are Prime Boneless Short Ribs, Lamb Skewers, Fish Tofu Puff, Shrimp Paste, and Fried Mochi. For drinks, I recommend getting the Fresh Coconut. I am impressed by its fresh and high-quality ingredients, but at a very reasonable price. However, I do wish they can offer half-portion dishes on some items (non-meat dishes), in which small groups can order more varieties. If you are planning on a family/friends gathering, I would highly recommend Happy Lamb Hot Pot. Taste: 4.5/5 * Service: 5/5 * Ambiance: 5/5 * Quality-Price: 4.5/5 read more

Holy smoke! Happy Lamb has reignited my burning passion for hot pot to create a new dining experience for me and my family. On Father's Day, my dad was craving AYCE hot pot, so we trekked here after shopping, only to discover that this location was the one location offering à la carte only. Having had AYCE at Happy Lamb's predecessor, Little Sheep (albeit the W Broadway location), many times, we were admittedly quite disappointed because we did not know if our meal this time would be as worth it. Happy Lamb extinguished this disappointment altogether. Our server, Philip, was an absolute gem and took the time to sanitize our menu tablet, explain the ordering process, and recommend ~hot~ items (e.g. Yipin Fat Cow, Lamb Sunshine) and kitchen specialties (e.g. Housemade Donut). Plate after plate, we were floored not only by the exquisite taste, but also by the impeccable presentation. My favourites included the three aforementioned dishes, as well as Mutton Dumplings and Fish Roe Balls. They all tasted delicious in the House of Two Broths (Hot Soup and Clear Soup). Due to COVID precautions, Philip gave us plastic water bottles and brought out individual sauces/toppings (peanut sauce, soy sauce, chili oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion) for us to mix from. He checked in with us twice to see if we were satisfied with our food and needed more water. The rest of the staff at Happy Lamb were also very friendly and quick to bring us our food. I will say that clearing our dishes seemed slower, but I do think that could be COVID-related in reducing the amount of server-diner interactions. At the end of our meal, we were gifted a $20 coupon to use for our next visit. Food and service aside, the newly renovated interior of Happy Lamb is spectacular as well. It is thoughtfully designed, with its grand yet warm ambiance (golden accents and wooden panelling), effective use of space (private rooms have sliding doors), and welcomed adoption of technology (washrooms have Dyson Airblade Wash+Dry). Though I had some reservations of returning to a hot pot restaurant during COVID, Happy Lamb turned me into a happy and delightfully full diner. The flame was thankfully rekindled that night. NB: Given enforced physical distancing measures and the slow turnover of tables for hot pot, I highly recommend dining at hot pot restaurants during this time in order to keep them afloat. read more

Was an okay hot pot there are definitely better choices than this. Definitely better than before the renovation. The quality was okay the service was okay. Dont forget the ice cream in the end before ylu pay. Not as many choices to get like HDL and servicd like HDL. but the price point is definitely very cheap for a hotpot so it was a good price point. Ohh and they got robor! So definitely check it out! read more
I came here for dinner recently. The service and atmosphere were pretty good. I got the Half and Half Pot with Mild Spicy and Original soup base. The original soup base tasted slightly different and better than the ones from supermarkets and is worth trying and the spicy one felt the same as the ones from supermarkets. In terms of food, I tried the Sheep and Beef Combo (羊牛至尊), Natural Prime-aged Lamb (快乐羔羊), Shrimp Paste (虾滑), Black Beef Tripe (千层肚), Assorted Vegetables, and Fried Dough (油条). The Sheep and Beef Combo had a good assortment of beef and lamb - I believe there were 3-4 types of each so it's a decent item if you want to try a bit of everything. The Natural Prime-aged Lamb is definitely worth trying as it was tender/light/smooth compared to regular lamb. The difference felt like eating veal vs beef. The Shrimp Paste and Fried Dough were pretty good as well. The cuts for the tripe were mediocre and the assorted vegetables gave a large amount of one vegetable vs other vegetables. read more

Excellent new hotpot place, with non-pork bases. The special lamb is very nice, and vegetables etc are on point. New location so very clean, beautiful setup. They told me owner is Mongolian, so explains the lamb over pork focus with the meats. read more

Happy wife, happy life? Then you have got to bring her to Happy Lamb. This place does not joke around (and neither does your wife) especially with a commitment to tasty soup declared on their wall and slogan. Be it a tomato soup or spicy white pepper soup, their soup really reign supreme over the other hotpot players in town. As a hotpot place they really take fresh ingredients to heart and plating of food makes you salivate and open your appetite! It is a great setting to be with family and friends. If only they have take out options for their soup, it will be a treat to be able to enjoy some hotpot delicacy at home during this time! Stay healthy and stay hungry! read more

My family and I had such a great experience at Happy Lamb Hotpot. The customer service was fast, polite and very professional. Food items on the menu were very reasonable priced. Our dishes were also very nicely presented. When a food-runner delivered a wrong plate to our table, our server and the manager handled it very well and ended up treating us the plate! Overall, I would definitely recommend people to give Happy Lamb Hot Pot a try. read more
