A Chinese ayce hot pot spot that is 5/5 in value, 5/5 in variety, and 4.5/5 in taste! Came on a weekend during dinner and thought the pricing was very reasonable at $30 per adult + your hot pot broth ranging from $3.99 for individual pots or $8.99 for larger pots. They have a more deluxe/ premium set if you'd want more options. Some of the broths we opted for were: - Tomato 5/5 - rich in flavour - House special hot broth 5/5 - flavourful but not too spicy and no numbing spice either - Fish maw chicken broth 5/5 - Such bang for buck and so clean and rich It's a DIY, self serve type of restaurant so they had a sauce bar, cooked food station, raw foods, and soda. Meats are ordered with the servers and brought to your table. Loved the variety of foods they had which included: Hot foods: - Crawfish - Chicken wings - Fried baos + condensed milk - Pork bones Raw foods: - Shrimp - Mussels - Fish paste Ended our meal with their soft serve ice cream which was taro and strawberry. The taro was 5/5. Overall, this was a great experience, and great dining option when you want a large variety for hot pot but maybe just one piece at a time. Can't wait to come back! read more

This hot pot place is always busy with a lineup, which already says a lot. Price-wise it's quite reasonable compared to other hot pot spots. The food is self-serve, with plenty of options to choose from, and the sauce bar has a wide variety of condiments to mix your own flavors. The environment inside is nice and comfortable. My tip: join the Google waitlist before you go -- it'll save you time standing in line! read more

I remember this spot being really good a few years ago but I'd give it a 7/10 for the worth but the food was a 6/10. They have a special during lunch which is $30 including broth, ayce, unlimited soft drink and open to the dinner section, soft serve ice cream. Everything is self serve, except the beef and lamb Meats, you have to order through the server. I found all the meats, to be chewy and not good quality. Broth was lacking flavour as well. The self service concept is cool but just felt the service was lacking a lot as well. Tables are pretty well spaced out. they have individual and big pots. Good variety of ingredients to choose from the servers filled them up at good times. I don't like how the sauce bar is in the corner, it gets crowded sometimes. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Holiday pricing - Mongolian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tip: Make a reservation online, and you'll be able to see the number of people ahead of you and estimate when to arrive at the restaurant! It could get quite busy if you walk in and wait for a table. The restaurant's ambiance was modern, with a high-tech feel enhanced by the robot servers. I upgraded to their deluxe menu, which included cooked and raw lamb, Angus beef, etc. It was well worth it. The cooked lamb was one per person and tasted so good - so fresh and well-seasoned. These items were delivered to you by robots to your seats. For the regular items, you'll walk up to the open fridge/freezer to select your own meat, seafood, and vegetables. There's also warm food item such as chicken wings and dough bread. My favorite item was definitely the shrimp paste. Everything tasted so good in my bone broth, and the sauce I created made it even more flavorful. I tried my partner's spicy soup, and it was surprisingly really good (not as spicy that it would be intolerable compared to other hot places I've been to). I highly recommend the spicy soup over the bone broth. read more

My new favourite hotpot spot in Scarborough! It's super affordable, and they've got a good variety of food items to mix into the soup, from meat balls to dumplings to handmade noodles. I love that almost everything (aside from the meat) is self served so you don't have to wait for a server - unlimited diet coke is actually one of my dreams come true. And the cooked food is a great touch! I could eat a million of their dough buns with condensed milk. I'll be coming here whenever I have a hotpot craving from now on. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Mongolian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here to celebrate a b-day. The b-day person gets free meal, which covers both their seat and broth. If they get individual post, they basically eat free of charge. This happy lamb location has ingredients at an open fridge where you can go and pick what you want instead of waiting for the kitchen to prepare them for you. Meat will still need to be ordered from server, which is understandable. I got the basic herbal soup. It was nice and simple and goes well with the meats and veggies. They have separate lunch and dinner service. Dinner features more ingredients, and is covered up during lunch. They also offer one free soft serve as dessert. read more

It's a great place to eat if you want to explore more authentic food and experience. This place serve hot soup of different varieties. From spicy to clear broth. For a fair price you can have a pot of your own to cook your vegetables, meat or seafood. People here are very friendly. The service if very quick. It's a nice setting and parking is ample. read more

We went to Happy Lamb Hot Pot specifically because they have individual pots. Just like all other hot pot places, you get to choose your broth and pot size (small or large). You can try 2-3 different types of broth if you choose the large pot. Broth selections include clear broth, mushroom broth, curry broth, hot sour & spicy broth, tomato broth, etc. I tried the mushroom broth (non-spicy) and it was pretty delicious. The interior is gorgeous. Other things that I really like about this restaurant (other than the ability to have individual pots for everyone on the table, instead of one big shared pot for everyone): 1) The "grab yourself" style of choosing ingredients - I like being able to walk up and see all the available ingredients, instead of ordering from a sheet of paper or from the table. There are some special ingredients that you can order, but all of the ingredients that we need and want are already available in the self-serve section (all the vegs, seafood, etc.). 2) It has additional add-ons and side dishes that are not always available at other hot pot places (such as youtiao, fried milk buns (mantou), fried peanuts, some side veggie salads, seaweed salad, fried peanuts, crackers, etc.). 3) Great selection of seafood and veg options - Fresh squid, giant shrimps, mussels, fish balls and vegan / vegetarian ingredients (various kinds of tofu and beancurds, fresh vegetables). 4) Unlimited fruits (mainly orange slices) for dessert, along with other petit desserts (mango mousse, mini cream puffs, mini square cakes). 5) The cute robot that comes and delivers trays of food (if you order something extra that isn't part of the self-serve section). 6) Restaurant is quite clean and service is pretty good (easy to get servers' attention when needed). It gets very busy on weekends and around dinner time, so making a reservation ahead of time is highly recommended, otherwise you'd have to wait in line for a table. They have a system where you can put in your contact info, and it tells you how many groups are ahead of you waiting for a table. They have a 2-hour seating limit policy, which they enforce quite strictly. The restaurant itself is in a plaza with free parking available, but it does fill up quickly, especially during busy hours and on weekends. read more

Hotpot restaurants are always busy and Happy Lamb is no different. We came here on mom's birthday after knowing their birthday offer- FREE MEAL ON THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTHDAY (table of 2+). The Scarborough location has one advantage over the other locations- an online waitlist... simply search the restaurant on Google, and there's a "join waitlist" option where that will lead you to their snappy waitlist, enter your information and you are in the queue while you are on the road heading to the restaurant. Because of this, by the time we arrived, we only had to wait 15 more minutes in person for them to clean up the table. Dinner is $28.99/ person (unlimited beef and lamb) + soup base starting at the price of $3.99 for individual pots. You can upgrade to their deluxe menu of $33.99 to get better quality beef, lamb, and some special items- tofu skin roll, duck blood, and beef shoulder... all unlimited! PLUS all sorts of other ingredients that you can go to their fridge and grab! Soft drinks are also included. They also have some hot and cold dishes that you can enjoy while waiting for your raw ingredients to cook. Fruits and some desserts are offered as well such as butterfly cookies, Chinese ice jelly, deep-fried sesame balls, and deep-fried buns with condensed milk. At the end of your meal, you are also offered ONE popsicle to enjoy. read more

This restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Came here on a weekday during off peak hours, so no need to wait for a table. We decided on the AYCE weekday lunch special for $20.99. For seniors, it's an additional 20% off, which is a pretty great deal. We ordered the large soup base with three choices and that was $13.99. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection of food items. First of all, pop refills are included in the price. Also, there is a selection of non hot pot appetizers. Then there is the lunch menu selection which comes with quite a good variety. You have to select from the wide assortment of items, yourself. You have to ask for beef and lamb rolls to be brought to your table though. In terms of taste, this was pretty delicious. And when l left, I felt full, but not uncomfortably full so that's a good sign. Service is already included in the bill for parties of 6 or more, but I'd say they deserved it as the service was good. The wait staff was always helpful and pleasant. I would like to come back and try the dinner menu at some point. But I think the lunch AYCE is worth it. It was an enjoyable dining experience. read more

We came here hoping to enjoy some yummy hotpot with the family and I was craving it. The selection of food is pretty good, and $28.99 per person is the basic selection. If you want premium meat, there's $5 per person added. We chose the premium package, but was disappointed by the meat on the second round. The first round was pretty good, but the second round the meat is so fatty and low quality. It seems that they have "forgotten" that we paid for the premium package. We didn't bother to change it, but I was regretting to take the upgrade. They had some precooked buns and shrimp crackers, which both tastes old and stale. The sauce selection is okay, just the basics. Food selection was pretty good, they had all kinds of veggies and noodles, as well as shrimp, fish and some seafood. The clear soup base has a very distinct smell, which was hard to ignore. I think there's a lot of herbs in the the broth, which not everyone can take it. The service was very...minimal. I mean, it is self serve all you can eat, at the end of the day, you pay what you get. I'm not sure if I would go back, but having to try it was definitely an experience. read more

My new favorite restaurant. Fresh healthy food in a comfortable setting. Always freindly service but mostly enjoy the self-serve nature of this restaurant read more

This was our first visit to celebrate my son's birthday. We were lucky to book a table last minute for Sunday evening. The price is reasonable for what you get. Lots of variety and you get to pick what you want from the back of the restaurant. It is nicely laid out and there was a good selection of sauces too. There are two sizes for the hot pot. It comes in an individual pot or communal good for 4 people. This restaurant has a robot that brings out the food which was very neat. The food selection was really good and tasted fresh. We ordered lots of beef & lamb,. They even had frog legs!! The restaurant was clean and the service was good. We will definitely be back!! read more

It was ok. The broth was on a salty side which I added water myself to reduce the saltiness. We did not opt in the premium version which I will try it next time. Overall the service was good and attentive. read more

Easily my favourite Happy Lamb Hot Pot location across the GTA. I have visited this location a few times on the weekend during their dinner service. I found this location to be very clean, decorated nicely, and had a better setup for choosing toppings. I definitely prefer their buffet-style setup over the paper order form and having a server bring it to you. With the buffet-style setup, I can pick how much or how little I want of a topping, which is nice if you want to try something new or different. I also think their sauce station is better maintained here, with less cross-contimation. read more

This is an AYCE place for Hot Pot! Covid19 checks are in place to check in, provide proof of vaccination, hand sanitizing stations, and waiters wearing face masks. The lamb sized hot pot was fantastic and came with many large lamb bones with meat on it. The waiters are very quick to provide food and the food quality is good. There is also a place to create your own sauce and sanitize your hands afterwards. read more

The service was great. The food quality was good. I really enjoyed that all you can eat. The only thing was the bill Hass to be paid one setting. The food texture was fresh. It was also dessert that was offered to us at the end of the meal which is included all in total. It cost about $40 per person great for one time event. read more

I've been to this location 3 times now and I can positively say it's been positive experiences for all three times. I will say that I find the lunch special better value as my friends and I don't go for the sides as much as the beef. Overall, if you come to the restaurant hungry you'll sure to leave full and satisfied. You also get complimentary soft drinks and a little ice cream cone at the end of your meal! One thing I don't love is that you can't split the bill using card. You can only do so if you pay cash. I didn't know that at first so just a heads up!! read more

After coming here four times, I have to say this is my go-to hot pot place as it truly does leave me Happy afterwards! Immediately after sitting the servers do come what soup base you would like without too much time to think. I understand as they want to get you started as soon as possible as when it gets busy it truly gets busy. I am thankful for the servers pre-warning soup spiciness bases (especially when choosing - the one named "butter" is their spiciest!) I personally get the yin yang broth as you can try two different broths. Personally the tomato and hot/sour are what I get as when my friend tried the butter spicy it was completely filled with spices (but that is up to your personal taste) The menu is simple there are three times you can order on it, you tick off what you want. Usually, the meat comes quickly although there was one time it was still completely frozen so still needed to wait. There is a robot server that comes around but I haven't personally had. There is also a sauce station where you create your own sauce. One of my favourite things to get it their house mashed shrimp (it comes on a ladle and you scrap it to the size you want). Lastly for desert there is a melona ice cream bar of your choosing. read more

Came here one day with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the selection of food available. My hubby got the spiciest soup base and even though he could take spice, he said it was very spicy and had to switch. It was a different type of spice (numbing kind) that he wasn't use to. I got the tomato broth which was good, even when I put food into the broth I did not need to dip the food into sauce as it had enough flavours. I really liked the meat. We did not pay extra $5 for New Zealand lamb and angus beef, but the meat was still good. I enjoyed the tendon, homemade noodles and beef/lamb balls. Was given the cheque after 2 hrs as they had 2 hr seating limit. Tip: reserve online before going as it gets busy! read more

Friendly and fast service. Good variety of self serve ingredients for hotpot as well as 3 to 4 cooked buffet - style dishes, wide choice of condiments, sides like kimchi, cucumber, radish, etc. Meat was fresh and thinly sliced, dessert and refillable fountain drinks are included. read more

First of all, definitely worth the price. Meats are freshly cut and are well plated. You can go up yourself to grab other smaller dishes and other meats and vegetables to put into your hotpot. Most meats are served using the little robots, but servers are always there if you need anything. Cute little place, well heated! Definitely a great place to go if you want to warm up and eat some good hotpot during a cold winter day. read more

Happy Lamb is the first time that I have a hot pot that I can have my own little individual hot pot! We had a table for 8, and they sat us in a private room. Service is excellent, we chatted a long time and they didn't seem to asked us out. The food is just like regular hotpot elsewhere. And price wise is the same as other places. Overall, a good experience. read more

Love that you can grab your own food to go with soup. It is all you can eat so you have the opportunity to try different things.

It was nice to be able to experience a traditional stand up and help yourself buffet style restaurant since a lot of AYCE places have migrated away from this. At this place you get the choice of splitting one big hot pot or getting your own small pot. They have all of the food items towards the back where you can get up and get your food and drinks whenever you please. The only thing you order with the server is beef and pork. They also have a big selection of sauces and a soft drink machine. For dessert they just had oranges and canned peach slices. While I do like the idea of a traditional stand up buffet, I didn't think the food was presented all that nice (I get there's only so much you can do when it comes to the presentation of raw food). But it also wasn't too ideal when having to load everything on one regular sized plate that they give you at your seat. I just ordered the regular both to share... haven't branched out to being super adventurous with hot pot broths yet unfortunately, and also because I'm pretty weak when it comes to my tolerance for spiciness. So I acknowledge my experience might not have been as great as it could have been because I went with the standard broth. Anyways, I wasn't too keen with the soup. It had a lot of stuff floating around in it to keep it flavoured but it made it hard fishing food out because I'd always get like garlic cloves in my ladle and have to try to put it back in without losing the stuff I wanted. As for the food, I think the quality was just okay. Nothing that blew me away. For instance, I had high expectations for the garlic beef slices but I found it to have a bit of a weird texture and the garlic seasoning was not prominent at all. Taro noodles, kelp knots, and beef tripe are always my favourites when it comes to hot pot. They have a decent variety here as well. One tip is to probably scope out everything they have before starting to load stuff on your plate. I started grabbing food at the opposite end of all the good stuff (seafood and specialty items) so I ended up getting more of the things I didn't reaaaally need not realizing all the great stuff was yet to come. The service here was pretty good. The servers did an impressive job with communicating with us from the moment we arrived. They let me choose whether I wanted to sit at a two seater or wait 10 minutes more for a rectangular table. Our server came over right away after we were seated to explain how everything worked. The bill came to about $59 for two people before tips... which is typical for an AYCE place, even a bit more affordable compared to other hot pot AYCE's I've been to. My conclusion is that there's nothing bad about this place, but there's also nothing great about it. I reaaally wish they had more dessert options.. Atleast some ice cream! (Dessert is very highly prioritized for me for an AYCE place so they def lost several points from me for this). I have surely been to a lot more higher quality places, but that also comes with a higher cost. I may come back to try out another soup base. But even if not, it was nice to give this place a try. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Mongolian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Randomly stumbled upon this hotpot place as we were looking for places that had the individual pots and came across this place through my Yelp.. they have shared pot options (multiple soup bases) or individual Interior is very bright and spacious (loved the floral ceiling decor) they have standard tables and 3 booths.. they dont take reservations for groups less than 6 but arent very busy so you should be fine Precovid there was self serve options for your AYCE hotpot experience but now you order off a paper menu which I don't mind for hygienic/safety reasons.. less exposure.. one of the servers shared that most servings come in 3 unless its the meat platters which was supposedly 12 but I found this inaccurate.. I ended up with so much food lol I was truly impressed with their selections of meat, seafood and vegetables (as you can see from photos that we fully took advantage of) desserts are pretty much limited to a Melona Their service is up and down depending on the server and sometimes the portion request don't align with what you asked for so that can get a little frustrating so you may have to follow up a few times..(kinda expected with any AYCE) If you order a large variety of food I recommend requesting for a larger table so you can layout all of your food They do have a cart beside every table both for food and empty dishes which is super convenient so don't be afraid to feast.. we got a table for 6 for our party of 3 Overall I really enjoyed my hotpot feast and would definitely recommend this place for comfort/value/variety!! Lunch $18.99 Dinner $26.99 (wknds/Holidays +$1) Soup base price is not included P.S Service fee is included in the bill and If you want to split the bill the only option is with cash read more

Food is good, new stuff comes out regularly. I was assisted by a lady also lunching alone who happened to be sitting beside me. She guided me in my choices.

I use to frequent happy lamb hot pot In their downtown location and it's been a few years since I finally came to their Scarborough location! We didn't wait too long on a Saturday night around 6:30, however the line got quite long just 15 mins after so we got really lucky. I like the idea of getting your own individual pots as people usually have different soup selections. They have a good variety of soups from spicy options to regular bone broth to tomato. One thing I really like about this location is that they have a buffet style get your own food option. All the hot pot food can be grab yourself, and you can grab as little or as much as you want! This is really nice as sometime you might just want a little bit of certain items and you don't feel bad for wasting food. Their snack bar also has variety of fried food like buns, sesame ball, spring rolls etc along with many selection of cold dishes. The price is on the cheaper end compare to other AYCE hotpot places but I think it's definitely worth it for it's price. It's not my favourite hot pot place but it's definitely somewhere I'd come once In awhile. read more

Poor service It was long queue for dinner during weekend, we picked up s number and waiting for 30 minutes, however the staff skipped us and giving the table to the next number, saying the table (booth) is not for 4 people, and funny that he gave us a two-seat table for us afterward, it did not make any sense at all! We left because of poorly treated! It was not the first time or second time we went there, but it was the very first time a waiter could make a joke to their customers like this! NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Bad soup base and it make the food taste not yummy Irs all you can eat and you get the food from outside, and food is not fresh Customer service is not good and you are forced to give 15% for tips even for the bad service .

This place used to be Little Sheep hotpot and I noticed they changed their name and newly renovated and having a promo that is buy 1 get second half price so I give it a try.

I'm digging the newly renovated look of little/happy lamb. Now all the ingredients are pre-portioned into stackable trays in the back. The food selection has also increased alongside, but they took away the (free) drinks. The tables get crowded very quickly with all the small individual trays so the person at the end of your table will inevitably become your organization czar as they have access to a multi-level cart stationed there. Use it to store your excess ingredients and empty trays. I'm not sure if the pricing is any different, but it works out to around $40/person normally (depending on if you get premium soups or ingredients). I feel like I don't eat enough to make that worth it most days. We went because an advertised 25% off (BOGO 50% off). Just a word of caution, the 25% only applied to the base price, not the soups. I'd go back, but I'd probably wait for a discount. Also, be prepared to be patient with anyone in your who hasn't had hotpot before as they might not know what to do and/or be afraid of undercooking everything. read more

The good: oh sodium high, this place is where you can indulge in salt and be the meat eater that you are. I purchased a groupon and it was $12 for $20 worth of food for 2 people. I love how you can go up and get your own food. They have a buffet section where you can take your plate and choose as you wish, and however much you like at one cost! Includes drinks and desserts. You can also order unlimited lamb and beef dishes. The bad: although the buffet is great, it may not always be fresh, and it can be lacking in terms of the availability of food, but they do have the main staples (fish balls, spam, and veggies) read more

We came here for a group hotpot dinner. This was a buffet style restaurant and you were supposed to help yourself for the food. It turned out to be one of the worst hotpot in town I've had. The counter was always empty when we tried to pick up food. No one refilled the plate promptly. We left with hunger. Terrible strategy of earning money from the restaurant owner! read more

What a nice gem in the heart of Scarborough. This restaurant is HUGE inside! It doesn't look like it from the outside but wow. You pick your individual soup base first (regular, spicy, or half and half), order your meats (lambs, beef, pork...) and then take your plate to the back and pick your hot pot options - they have so many things to choose - several types of noodles, fish balls, lobster balls, veggies (bok choy, few different mushroom options, shrimp, tofu, fish, ) and then you can mix up your own sauce combination. The drinks (fountain drinks) are also located in the back and they have a nice plum drink that hits the spot. With tax it comes up to about $26 (depending on your soup base). considering you can just keep re-filling your pot, this is a great deal. As others have mentioned - it will make your hair/clothes smell so maybe leave your jacket in the car if you can, read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Hot pot bubbling - Mongolian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The set up was very different compared to the San Gabriel location we went to a week prior. Most of the items were self serve with the exception of sliced lamb and beef which they automatically place on your table as soon as your broth arrives. We actually preferred the efficiency of the service. Although there were only two servers - their jobs were really just to keep the meat coming so we never had to wait long between rounds. There were no papers to fill out or to be collected. No veggies or side orders to follow up. You need anything other than sliced lamb or beef? Go get it yourself. Although the spread was plentiful, the self serve station can be better maintained. There were so many flies lurking around. And the layers of grease built up found at the soda machine - I will take the water instead please. Overall - $23 plus tax and tip per person - not a bad option to battle the Canadian cold. read more

I used to come here before the renovation and loved it - the price point, the soup base. Since the renovation, they're gotten rid of the free refillable pop, water and herbal drink. They've also changed the soup base which I didn't like. They give you an option to pay an extra $5 to upgrade to AAA lamb or beef. We didnt upgrade and found the meat to be pretty fatty. Service was good. If you are using a groupon, beware its cash only and a 12% service charge was charged automatically (we were only 2 ppl). Overall, because I didnt love the flavour of the broth, I wouldnt come back. I honestly prefer BSG hotpot instead. read more
