Very good AYCE hotpot restaurant to have! Their food and veggies were often fresh and delicious. I enjoy their lamb and beef. Their sticky fried buns are always a must. There was a change in their order system, as now you can order from the tablet. Once you order, it'll block you from ordering for 20 mins, so you'll have to wait. I'd say it's a smart system so that the employees don't constantly have to take orders. That being said, I feel like the service got worse. They forgot to add some utensils for the table, and when we asked for it, they weren't apologetic and took awhile to deliver them. The ambiance is good. There's a moderate amount of seating and it seems organized.
Honestly I would not recommend or go here if it were the regular $35 per person dinner AYCE. I went here for their $18.98 per person AYCE special which honestly still is an okay deal since sauce bar (makes sense) and broth (shockingly) were mandatory add-ons so after tax and tip you are paying close to $30 per person still. I would have given a better rating for the value, but the overall experience needs improvement. Knowing the promo, the wait is about 4-5 hours long. So I entered the waitlist remotely around 1:30pm for a dinner seating and got seated around 4:45pm so a little over 3 hours wait, but minimal wait in person as I diligently checked the status of the waitlist remotely. When seated, it was a full house so I expect the food to take a bit of time. The broth and the meats came out quickly, and the meat is not 10 pieces - it is 20-30 pieces per order. I can't complain as they know people go here for maximizing value so they predict we are the same. We barely got through 4 orders of meats (almost 100 pieces total) between the 2 of us, but that was a good problem to have. However, the other things like fish balls, vegetables, etc took so long. The waiter had to resubmit the order a few times and even then took an hour to get it, and they delivered 2-3x of the portion we needed, but we still devoured it knowing that the service is this unreliable. It took another 30 minutes to get the fortune pack. A lot of things ran out, like the snacks and soft serve, that took another 30 minutes. So a lot of waiting which is fine, but why I lowered the rating is because the table behind us got all the food and more without issues, and they got seated after us and left before us because they are well attended to. Our section somehow was heavily ignored. Food wise it is okay - it is AYCE. I wished the broth was more flavorful, as I generally never needed to go to the sauce bar. Here, it felt like things were watered down immensely. Maybe because of the promo, but also, they should not cut corners by half to make up for the lowered cost as they should be encouraging more business, as usually this place is never busy. I don't think I will return, even with the $20 promo ($100 min spend) because I don't think the value is there at all. At the promo price it was worth the try, but there are so many better hot pot options around the greater Seattle area that I would prefer.
It's a chain, so the hot pot and meat quality are consistent with other locations like Bellevue and Lynnwood. What stands out here is the service. The staff are especially friendly and take great care of regulars. The space is smaller, and parking in Chinatown is limited and a bit of a hassle. Still, the service makes it worth it if you don't mind the parking.
I know that Happy Lamb is such a well-known brand for hotpot, especially for All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) style. It had been a long time (probably a decade) since my last visit, but some friends visiting from abroad were seriously craving an Asian-style soup meal after a long night of drinking. I am not much of a drinker myself, but they definitely are. We visited on a Saturday night, and the place was packed with people. At first we waited on the 1st floor. We felt a bit strange because everyone there seemed to be eating Korean BBQ. Later, we realized that the 1st floor is actually a different restaurant, Bellwether BBQ. So we moved to the 2nd floor, and that floor was finally for the Happy Lamb. Even though we arrived around 9 PM after already having a full dinner at Honey Court, the place was still completely full and we had to wait. OMG... The waiting system is somewhat high-tech. You scan the QR code at the check-in desk, join the queue, and they text you when your table is ready. We requested a private room, and luckily they were able to accommodate us. Our room had 3 induction burners, allowing 3 hotpot pots at the same time. Each pot can have 2 different broths, so it is perfect for trying multiple flavors. Since there were 4 of us, we basically tried all the broth options. Because we had already eaten dinner earlier, we skipped the AYCE option and ordered from a la carte menu for meats and vegetables. We were also lucky that we visited late at night, thus we received 20% discount for happy hour pricing. The staff were friendly, and Happy Lamb's bar has lots of toppings and sauces so you can mix your own dipping sauce however you like. They even have ice cream for dessert. The access to bar is additional $2.99 per person. One thing I found out later is that there is parking available in the basement of the building. I am not sure if it is free or not, but since I did not know about it, I parked in a nearby lot and it cost me about $9 per hour. Parking in Seattle's Chinatown / International District is getting pretty tough and expensive these days. Overall, the staff were friendly and the quality of the a la carte meats and vegetables was solid. Understanding the inflation these days, the cost felt quite reasonable, and I would definitely consider coming back again. Hotpot is always more fun with a bigger group, and this place is great for that.
My first visit here was disappointing because the service was atrocious. Slow, inattentive, forgetting things, and overall showing zero care. On a second visit, we came for an early dinner, had great attentive service, even as the spot filled up. I'll call out the Bellevue location has the best service hands down. Having mixed feelings, but will have to go with my recency bias to say I'd come back. The location is somewhat convenient in Chinatown, has parking underneath, and not too far from the link for public transit. However, two flights of stairs await because there's the exterior stairs and an extra set to go from the KBBQ spot to hot pot. Not sure if there's an elevator for accessibility but I'd double check as needed. There's an interesting new promotion for peak hours where a longer wait time means a free gift, which I think is a sweet deal. I haven't seen this at other locations but I also haven't been to them recently. Definitely makes any wait easier though. Happy Lamb portions out servings per round based on party, so it's always scaled well. Good quality too. Sauce bar includes some warm items, dessert, and fruit, which is always enjoyable. Plus the soft serve machine (but across all Happy Lambs, the ice cream is icy more than creamy, still delicious for after a hot meal though).
I tried the Premium All-You-Can-Eat option at Happy Lamb, and for around $50 per person, I think it's a pretty fair deal. The selection includes several cuts of Wagyu beef, which was a nice surprise at this price point. While the meat wasn't exceptionally fresh or premium compared to high-end Japanese BBQ restaurants, it was still good enough and enjoyable for an AYCE experience. The broth was flavorful, there was a decent variety of ingredients, and the service was smooth throughout the meal. Overall, nothing really stood out as amazing, but nothing disappointed me either. If you're looking for a reasonably priced premium hot pot with unlimited Wagyu options, Happy Lamb is worth checking out. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I'd definitely consider coming back.
Great spot for AYCE Hotpot!! They have a large menu selection & the quality is pretty good! Sauce bar is additional price though! It does get a bit crowded and busy... but I joined the waitlist before arriving so my group & I didn't wait long. Nice and attentive staff.
What a fun place to stuff yourself full of delicious and flavorful food! I am a total novice to the hotpot scene, and it was still really enjoyable! My husband and I got the AYCE option, and there was no wait during lunch time on a weekday. For the meats, we tried the beef, pork, lamb, and shrimp. We also got cabbage, tofu skin, and noodles. We opted for the sauce barl; I'm not entirely sure it was worth it as we only went once to make our sauces, but it's only $3/pp, and it was fun to see try our creation. Mfriendly staff, gorgeous and spacious interior, and my clothes didn't announce to the world that I had hotpot afterwards, haha. Looking forward to going back!
soup szn every season i usually go to the location in Lynnwood but decided to come here, they share a space with a KBBQ spot, Happy Lamb is located upstairs! food and service were solid! It was my mom's first time visiting and she enjoyed it as well. the selection for food, sauce and dessert were pretty solid considering the price, i will certainly be back for their happy hour!
On another episode of "restaurants I've been to a million times but haven't done a proper 5-star review for yet because I went here back in (insert year before 2024 here) before doing reviews"... This visit is far beyond my first visit; I've been here when it was still Little Sheep, and have been getting great hotpot here since 2021 when it first reopened as Happy Lamb. It's located in the same building as Bellwether BBQ & Grill, though that's on the first floor; you'll need to head one floor up to get to this Happy Lamb. It's pretty casual internally and quite fast-paced for the servers here; you'll always see them carrying large trays of meat and other stuff to tables. You'll also - as expected - smell like hotpot once you leave here. Not that that wasn't already obvious. We made a walk-in reservation for 7 people, which was a good call since lots of people started coming at around 7pm on a Sunday night. While waiting, you can enjoy some lemon black tea and packaged crackers at the front counter. Their AYCE is $34.98 per person, and gratuity is automatically added for groups of 6 or more. We got a set of three broths in one (called Best of Three), with two of them being different levels of spicy broths, and the last being a tomato broth. We then got an assortment of meats (beef, pork, TONS of lamb), seafood (shrimp, tempura, mussels), meatballs (lamb, shrimp, fish with roe), veggies (broccoli, cabbage, pumpkin, sweet corn) and others (dumplings, wontons, fried rice, fried chicken) all in the span of two rounds out of three. Wow that was a mouthful! Everything was very solid, and we all had no complaints whatsoever when eating. Service was on point; we got our waters (both our cups and broths) refilled constantly, and we got extra napkins and even large bibs for those of us who didn't want splatter on our clothes. Besides the meatballs being very small, food quality is decent and worth it; meats were fresh though some were a little thick, veggies had a great color to them, and the fried chicken was a big winner even though it was just an appetizer. They also have an AYCE bar, which was very appropriately filled and stocked. What was crazy was that even though we were all full, we got a ton of their sweets like their coffee and mango cakes, strawberry jam pudding, sesame balls, egg rolls, sweet taro soup and other small eats. Like, we went ham on all those desserts. They're doing something right with the AYCE bar here! You might not even need a boba run if you got a stubborn sweet tooth like me :P We spent a good 2.5 hours here, and they were some of the best especially with minimal decor, exceptional service and great food to enjoy. I consider this a great choice for hotpot in the Seattle area, and probably the only one that I know that stays consistently awesome!
We came a little after 5 pm and lucked out it wasn't packed yet, so we got seated right away. The space is super cute and clean, which already gave me a good vibe. Our server, Jenny, was the sweetest super helpful, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Food came out fast and everything was delicious. I was honestly surprised by the lamb meatballs--they weren't gamey at all and ended up being one of my favorites! Hot pot lovers, you definitely need to check this place out. Bonus: if you're celebrating a birthday, you get to eat for free (such a fun perk ). Another cool thing is that they also have Korean BBQ downstairs, so you can totally switch things up depending on your mood. Plus, garage parking is available yes, it's a little tight, but it's free for two hours so I'm not complaining. Overall, such a solid spot for hot pot (and apparently BBQ too)! I'll definitely be back.
One of the tried and true classic hotpot locations in the greater seattle area for AYCE. Their meat portions are generous and people typically only order 1-2 courses of meat. You can purchase additional items a la carte such as skewers and seafood. Expect to spend about $50/person with tax+tip. Floors are a little slippery so be careful as you walk around. Service is always epic here, the staff are always so friendly and quick to help out and check in with you consistently.
Food: The all-you-can-eat menu is reasonably priced, usually around $30-$40 per person, with special weekday rates (Monday-Friday). The meat quality really stood out--better than Haidilao or Luyezhou in my opinion--especially the Angus beef and the fattier beef cuts. Seafood was fresh, particularly the octopus and shrimp balls, and the vegetables were high-quality and fresh as well. The salad bar was a bit limited in variety and quality compared to other hotpot places, but still decent enough for the essentials. For broth, we especially enjoyed the mushroom and bone broth bases. The spicy broth was flavorful without being overwhelming, though it does contain quite a bit of oil. Service: Overall, the service was nice. The front desk staff in particular was very friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere: The restaurant has a clean, comfortable, family-friendly vibe. Nothing over the top, but pleasant and inviting for a hotpot meal. Overall Experience: Happy Lamb is a solid choice for hotpot, with excellent meat quality and fresh seafood/vegetables. The weekday deals make it an even better value, and the birthday promotion (one free meal within three days before or after your birthday) is a fantastic perk. Definitely a place I'd return to, especially for special occasions.

I came for my birthday as they do a free meal if you bring enough additional guests, and it was great! This spot is on the second floor, past the bbq place downstairs. We had a reservation but it was pretty empty when we came and we probably didn't even need it. Their AYCE is great value imo - they had a huge selection of meats, seafood, tofu, fishballs, and veggies. I especially loved the roe fishballs, octopus, fish fillet, and quail eggs. The tomato broth was my favorite of the ones we tried. Their sauce bar is also quite extensive with a bunch of sides and desserts too - I loved their cucumber and kimchi! Overall, a great experience :) read more

A solid all-you-can-eat hot pot spot right in the heart of Chinatown. They offer a great spread with both an appetizer bar and a sauce bar, plus plenty of meat, vegetables, and classic hot pot add-ins to choose from. Our favorites to order are bean curd rolls, fresh thick noodles, fried buns, and all their meat is top quality. There's definitely no shortage of options. The space itself is really large with lots of seating, making it perfect for bigger groups, but it also works well for a casual date night. We went with the "Best of Both Worlds" broth (original + spicy), which is always a good move. They also keep the broth coming throughout your meal, which is a nice touch. Ordering is done by marking items on a sheet, and the staff comes by regularly to collect orders. That said, service can be a bit hit or miss depending on how busy it is - I've been a few times and the experience varies. Parking, unfortunately, is probably the biggest downside. It can be pretty hectic, and spots fill up quickly, so be prepared for that. If you dine on your birthday, your meal is free! Overall, a great option in Seattle if you're craving AYCE hot pot. read more

This is my favorite place for hot pot. They have such delicious and rich broths, nice cuts of meat and fresh veggies, and the crispest water. Only giving 4 stars because sometimes when I order 5 or 2 orders of meat, I get the same amount of meat every time. And I'm serious about getting as much meat as possible so I end up ordering multiple types just to make sure I get more. read more
Love this hot pot place. I come here every time I visit Seattle. It is situated in Chinatown. I am told there is parking under ground. We always took the Link or bus there. So I can't tell you much about parking. You can join the waitlist by scanning the QR code, can't join on Yelp. We usually only need to wait no more than 30 min even when it is very busy. The place is a bit loud like any chinese restaurant. The floor is concrete and it is a bit echoey. The food is good. We usually get their pork and lamb. We like their seafood and various tofu products. As for the broth, we like the tomato based one the best. There is one that has some chinese herbal medicine in it. It is not my cup of tea. It is AYCE. So the amount of food is not a concern. It allows us to try a variety of food. read more

Came to Happy Lamb Hot Pot with a group of 7 friends! It was my first time but a few of the member had been before. It was delicious. We had two vegans in the group so we got two separate spots. We got the spicy and the sweet and sour broth. Both were delicious. My favorite part of this restaurant was the sauce bar plus little side dishes that you can pick from. The cucumber salad was delicious and the chicken wings were also very tasty. Since a few of us had been there many times, the waiter gave us a free tasting of wagyu. It was delicious. Everything was amazing, right down to the service, atmosphere and vibes of the restaurant. You can't make a reservation but come early. We came at 6 got seated right away but as we were leaving the place was packed and had a wait list. Parking can be a little difficult due to we went to the one in china town district so it's all street parking but overall a top favorite in the group. read more
We FINALLY got to come back to get some hot pot! We were seated pretty quickly even if it was busy. The parking was horrible though, lord they have the worst parking structure. We got everything we usually get, pork belly, think beef etc. shrimp, baby octopus, veggies, tripe, mussel, fish balls. It was all really good, wasn't a fan of the garlic beef at all though, it doesn't mesh well with hot pot in my opinion. The shrimp wasn't deveined which threw me off a little but still good I usually don't care. I got the fried chicken and it was so good, we ordered it twice. The cream cheese wontons at the appetizer bar was good too! I love that the sauce bar had recipe options. We got the Tomato broth along with the bone marrow broth. I love the bone marrow broth. The only thing I don't care for is how it took so long for our rice to come, for it to be under cooked tasting. The ambiance was very casual. read more

Hot pot at such a reasonable price!! The portions here are very big and their broth tastes so flavorful. Service was also great! The only con would be the ventilation system, there was a lot of smoke coming out of the pot that was blowing at a single person which I haven't experienced at other hot pot locations. read more
Food is great, service is quick. Theres a sauce bar and they have some sauce recipes if you don't know what to mix. The place is really busy. I love their hot pot variety. The broth is really good. Our table did the split broths a spicy and non-spicy one. read more

I hope this location never closes. Having been to several Little/Happy Lamb locations throughout decades, this location is one of the best in the country. There's a proper, spaceous waiting room with snacks, good menu, several tables with several private rooms, and a good menu selection. Yes, some locations don't have everything but this sure does! The service is the best - it's what's lacking at most Happy Lamb locations ever since they started the AYCE model (with the Bellevue location being an absolutely train wreck). You also get stunning views of the Seattle skyline. A big thanks to my sever last night who beautifully made the new shaved ice with love. It comes with popping boba and several ice-shaped decorations. The matcha-strawberry popcicle with it is amazing! read more

Great deal for Happy Hours w AYCE Menu! You can also order A La Carte and u can wrap them home if can't finish. For the AYCE u have to finish the food there! I tried them so many times so I know on the weekend the seafood and meat seem fresher than weekdays. Their drinks menu is on point, very good drink! Sometimes I came to this place just for ordering 5 or 6 drinks and enjoy them the whole week. This place is def worth a try when u visit Seattle! For 1 person w drink it is abt 50$ w 3 courses ordering! Customer service is awesome too! Will come back! read more
Personally not the biggest fan of Happy Lamb, it serves as both an AYCE and a la carte spot. The meat is average, the broth is pretty good, but I just can never feel satisfied eating here. The service is not bad and I really do enjoy the hotpot scenery and everything was clean and organized. Not a terrible pick, but I would recommend other spots that are nearby. read more

Always happy at Happy Lamb The menu has so many different options for seafood/veggies/noodles/meats/etc, I can always try a new combination of items each time I go, and the more people the better. I tend to go later in the day (after 6pm) so it's usually bustling with people, but I kinda like the feeling of when it's busy. Seeing everyone's hot pot steam, conversations, laughter, it's a very comforting ambiance. The servers are always coming by to check on me, so no complaints there. Any time I want hot pot/to eat with friends, I come here. You can stuff yourself full of delicious meats and veggies for a reasonable ~$35 a person for the regular AYCE. Well worth the money and time. read more
3.5 The AYCE sushi is a pretty good deal. There were fresh options and the broth selection was pretty standard, but the sauce bar was lacking. Making a good dipping sauce is pretty important to me at hot pot so that was disappointing. The side dishes and sauce bar were also a bit unkept. However, everything came out timely and the servers were kind. The atmosphere was comfortable and the curved booths were nice for groups. read more
