    Happy Lamb is definitely going on my "coming back ASAP" list The lamb slices were sooo good -- the quality is seriously 10/10. Everything tasted fresh and there were plenty of options to throw into the pot. I definitely recommend doing the half & half broth with mushroom + house spicy. If you're not trying to fight for your life with all the chilies lol, ask for the spicy broth less spicy so they put fewer chilies in it. Service was on point, everything came out quickly, and the restaurant was super clean and comfortable. AYCE hot pot + good quality meat + good service?? Say lesssss. Already thinking about my next visit.

    Wagyu and Lamb
    Jenny T.

    Happy Lamb has more than just lamb! They also have Australian wagyu and other high quality meats. The interior is very spacious and there's lots of seating. It looks very nice and clean. There's a veggie/noodles buffet where you get whatever you want to add to your hotpot and they also have hot food as well! You can build your own dipping sauce and the sauce station nearby. Broths I had: Best of Broth Worlds- House Special & Mushroom I preferred the mushroom one! If you like Chinese herbs, the house special one is perfect for you! They do simmer their broth for 6hours. I tried the lamb, Australian wagyu, beef brisket, etc. i enjoyed the Australian Wagyu! I love how thin cut the meat here is. It cooks very fast in the boiling broth and is very tender. Also, I love their veggies/noodle area where you can grab whatever you want to add to your hotpot. I added one cabbage, udon, corn, mushrooms, ramen, and some fish cake. It's ayce so you can always come back to it. They also have a cotton candy machine! It's a nice hot pot spot and they also have a great lunch special during the weekdays!

    My husband and I came here last week for a dinner date. It was clean, spacious, and had friendly staff. We decided to order the spicy and mushroom broth. I really liked the flavors of both. I wanted the mushroom broth to be spicy so I just added some of the spicy herbal broth over and it was good for me. I really like the quality of the waygu meats but it's a bummer it's limited to 1 order per person. I always felt like the board of the wagyu brisket being considered 2 ordered was small. The lamb shank wasn't an option when we came before so my husband wanted to try it. He said it was really good but I little on the fatty side. I really enjoy the shrimp paste balls here. I ate like 10 of them. I also enjoyed the addition of spicy basil fried rice. It's not good for kids but great for adults. They had a few dessert options and you always get 1 scoop of ice cream with your meal. There was vanilla and chocolate when we went. I also love that the drinks are included in the price. The lemonade was really good. Definitely a place to try if you enjoy hot pot.

    Since my first visit in July, I've been back almost every weekend. I couldn't pass up on their 20 year anniversary special lunch pricing at $18.98 from August 8-10! I have now tried every soup broth and discovered that my favorite ones are the Original and Sour Cabbage. They warn you about the sour cabbage one being spicy and very sour. It is the perfect broth if you want to taste the punchy sour and back of the throat spice! The quality of the food here is consistently good and their service is great. I look forward to my next visit!

    The food from my experience were thin lean meat. I like that they have a variety of meat options which are beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. You usually won't find all 4 options at every hotpot location. You can pick 1 hotpot soup or half half (2 hotpot soup). The menu is divided into classic and premium each with their lunch and dinner option when I went. Drinks come with the meal which are in the veggies and snack aisle. The service was responsive. I also like the ambiance. They have decent decor. Note, I went here with a buddy during their anniversary special. A few dollars discount. The wait wasn't too long in the afternoon. Overall, I recommend the place.

    Mushroom Broth and House Spicy Broth
    Tina N.

    The service was decent. It was a busy day, but they did check up on my table occasionally. I wished they wipe down the counter for the self serve area more often granted it was pretty busy. The broth was very salty. The sauce was also very salty. I ended up not using the dipping sauce because of how salty the broth was, so when the meat was cooked it became very salty. We got the Spicy House Special and the Mushroom Broth. My favorite meat cut would have to be the beef. For drinks you can either get the soda or juices. For the hot food you can grab, my favorite item would have to be the egg roll.

    When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't very busy so we were able to get seated right away. They offer a variety of options, including appetizers, vegetables, and seafood. We chose the deluxe option so we got a variety of meat as well. They also have a self-serve drink fountain and hot tea was available upon request. The broth and the meat quality was okay, but I was disappointed that they didn't have bok choy, which is one of my favorite hot pot vegetables. On the plus side, the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Overall, it was an okay experience and I'd be open to going again when I'm in the area. 3.5/5

    I've been to other happy lamb locations that I liked but I didn't enjoy my meal here as much as I expected Broth was just ok. We tried most of the meat options and there were a good amount that I didn't really like, which was surprising to me since I'm not a particularly picky eater. There was an ok amount of sides that you can get at the self serve bar but they weren't super memorable in my opinion

    Mid 3. Missed a few things to be a 4 star. Came here for lunch @ $22. (+) Variety of 'beef' for lunch is limited but the quality is good. (+) Veggies, hot pot items, and seafood was good (+) Service is solid (-) Soup base is extremely salty (=) Sauces, which is important for shabu is good, but their ponzu was extremely salty (--) A few items such as chicken wings, pad see ew AND dessert was empty and not replenished the entire time we were there for lunch (12:45 to 1:30). Why even served it if you're not going to keep a fresh or replenish it?

    Haven't been to this chain since it was still Little Sheep (小肥羊), and with a huge upgrade, the place is much nicer than I remember. The ingredient bar had a ton of choices, from fresh vegetables and mushrooms to noodles, tofu, fish balls, and other hot pot staples. I also liked that they had plenty of hot side dishes, which is great if you're dining with kids or just want something to snack on while waiting for your meat to cook. Everything tasted fresh, and the meats were good quality. The broth choices were flavorful without being overly salty, and they kept everything at the buffet stocked throughout our meal. Amy was our server and she was awesome. She was friendly, attentive, and had us laughing by saying "thank you" in a bunch of different languages. Better atmosphere, lots of variety, fresh ingredients, and great service make it an easy choice for a weekday lunch too!

    Went here for their anniversary special for $19/person. With that price, it's hard to argue or be picky since choices are quite generous and it AYCE. The place is inside a big plaza therefore big parking lot. Staff are nice and friendly. Plenty of differ type of meats to choice from, same with self service for veggies and side dishes. You pick your type of broth and refill it as you go. We enjoyed their sibling restaurant in LV last year and glad that they have it here in SoCal now. Still come back for more in the near future.

    First time trying this place and my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it! We came during lunch for the lunch special, and there was a good variety of cold dishes, appetizers, and desserts to choose from. We got the spicy hot broth, and it was really flavorful. They also have a sauce bar, but honestly the broth was so good that I didn't even need any extra sauce. The service was great, and they had a good selection of meats. I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy beef, but everything else was really good. I also liked that the restaurant wasn't super loud, so it made the whole experience more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Just left Happy Lamb Hot Pot and honestly... my soup now has higher standards than me This spot is giving luxury hot pot energy without making your wallet cry too hard. The broth simmers for like 8 hours, and you can taste it immediately -- rich, cozy, slightly life-changing. The Wagyu disappeared from my plate faster than my self-control, and the lamb was super tender. I also love the self-serve setup because I got to pretend I was on a cooking game show grabbing veggies, sauces, shrimp, noodles... everything. Dangerous for competitive people. The vibe inside is modern, clean, cute booths everywhere, and the staff was super attentive even while everyone around me was entering full hot-pot survival mode. If you're hungry hungry, this place is dangerous in the best way. I came for dinner and left emotionally attached to the broth. 10 outta 10 Pricing: AYCE options typically range from roughly $28-$44 depending on the package, with weekday lunch specials often available.

    We finally made it to the restaurant to try Teppanyaki Grill Buffet…read more We were all surprised with the selection and variety of dishes. Unfortunately, they do not serve crab legs on the buffet stations. I called to confirm before we came so were aware of it and not expecting it. Foods were tasty and plentiful. I would say 4.5/5 because no crab legs, but everything was great. Of course, I didn't try the Mongolian grill nor the sushi station but all the cooked food was fine and my sisters and their husbands loved it. The place was super busy on the weekend and table spaces are tight.

I'm typically a "whole pizza" type of guy, but my party and I each couldn't finished two plates before feeling sick. After leaving the establishment, I felt robbed. Not only was the crabs a lie, the establishment under a Japanese pseudo name, is actually ran by the Chinese. Fortunately, it was easy to locate the exit. The vibe was off, as the food was slowly ripping my two cheeks apart. If you decide to go here, go somewhere else. If you have the courage to ignore my warnings, you should still go some where else. However, If you do somehow get forced to eat here, go somewhere else. Unless, if you have no where else to go, go somewhere else.

    As a Mongolian bbq lover I can say this place gets a thumbs up. It's hard to find a good Mongolian…read morebbq place these days and have been disappointed from the places I've tried but I finally found one that's just as good as the one in my hometown! Just bummed that it's far from where I currently live. Love how they let you pack your bowl with exactly what you want, and the noodles are included separate so you can fit plenty of the ingredients you want. The bowl looks small but it's actually a lot of food. Meat quality was really good. Everything looked and tasted so fresh. They had all my favorite toppings available so I was really happy about that. The lady that helped mix our sauces knows what she's doing. Not too salty and not bland, just the right amount of flavor. If you like spice, add the sriracha and pepper flakes on top. Great portions, fresh ingredients, flavor is just right. Perfect meal after shopping or if you're craving that nostalgic Mongolian bbq vibe.

    Came here on a Saturday late evening with my boys, about 30 minutes before closing…read more The food was average--there wasn't much flavor, and there wasn't enough meat to distribute fairly. The vegetable selection was also pretty limited. The outdoor seating was convenient, especially given the hot weather, and the atmosphere outside was nice.
