    Great deal for hot pot! $30 per person for ACE (40 if you do the Kobe) with plenty of selections for lamb, beef and pork. The bone broth was smooth and paired well with the meats. We also got some seafood which was decent but could be a little fishy for some people. Service was efficient, I felt bad there was just one guy running back and forth but the food came out quickly. The inside is small and intimate, I could see it being crowded at the bar and you could end up sitting next to strangers. Overall a great deal for ACE, would come back again in the cold months! Advice would be to come in a small group however, it doesn't seem like they could efficiently accommodate for parties larger than 4 people

    Quick parking fast service. Fresh ingredients and proteins. Must try. Tho is lil dark but service was fast and easy to order. Will be back soon. Good find on PCH

    This is a FRAUD restaurant! I have already filed for fraud. When I first entered the restaurant, they told me nothing about the portion of food. Yet you can see clearly, that the first chicken breast was twice as large as the second and although I ordered more for the second time, I got less than I want. When I asked for an explanation, they told me "people are not so hungry as they eat so we reduce the portion". This is obviously illegal. And what's more, they are not paying any attention to customers. The environment very bad as well.

    3.5 stars, I will round up. Had Happy Sheep bookmarked for a while as one of the few Chinese hotpot places in the area, and finally went to check it out after visiting my brother in Torrance. Parking was easy in the lot though the restaurant is not very big at all. It was not crowded when I went but it filled up as it got later, and I felt bad that there was only a single waiter manning the whole restaurant. Service was not bad, considering all of that, and our water was refilled regularly. The all-you-can-eat costs $29.99 + tax as of October 2023. The menu was actually smaller than I expected, and they were out of a few items I love at hotpot (taro, corn, intestines). The meat was well presented and overall the quality of ingredients was decent, with the fried buns and fried dough (油條) particularly crispy and delicious. I also really enjoyed the appetizer cold dishes. The sauce bar was okay, I was just missing my minced garlic. The broths were good but I have had better, and the spicy half was not that spicy. The men's restroom also was quite dark, and had no paper towels. The faucet was also broken and just had a continuous small stream of water. The restroom could have been cleaner as well. Overall, not bad but also nothing exceptional as far as hotpot restaurants go.

    Good, fresh ingredients. Soup base is so tasty too. Has high chair for babies. Family friendly. Great service.

    Dipping sauces

    It's the only reasonable Chinese style hot pot option in the south side of the South Bay. I didn't give them a 5, even though they have all the basics, but nothing in particular stands out. $28.95 per person for all you can eat (9/2023 price). The meat quality is pretty good, so make sure you go when you are hungry. There are several varieties of vegetables but we usually like a few more things like chrysanthemum. There is a small area for different dipping sauces. The broth is already flavored so use only if needed. Not sure if it makes sense to get a la carte, but you got to do your own calculations. Tips: a couple of interesting items to try: 1. Fried buns, you got to try at least one, golden brown with condensed milk, pretty irresistible 2. Fish tofu, pretty interesting combination which is relatively unique Tip: The broth is on the salty side, so much so that you don't really need the dipping sauce. I think we should've asked for 1/2 water and 1/2 broth when our broth was low, we got more broth instead and it was too salty to have the final soup. The service was adequate, the small place was busy and only one personal taking care of everyone. He did everything we asked for , not much spare capacity for anything extra.

    AYCE hot pot
    Rebecca T.

    Cozy atmosphere with decent hot pot. There's AYCE for $29/person, which is a steal for all the meat, vegetables, and other toppings you can get. The half and half broth was delicious and fragrant, and the spicy one had a kick to it. Meats were tasty and abundant, and the sauce bar had some incredible sauces (e.g. sesame, garlic, chili). Service could've been a bit friendlier, but otherwise, a solid hot pot spot to go with family, friends, and loved ones.

    Friend buns topped with condensed milk!
    France Y.

    Soo tasty you don't need dipping sauce! Service was good - offered the dessert buns as a two-piece instead of the typical 5-6 pieces. We are 5-6pm so didn't have to wait long for service! I appreciated the ambiance - it felt right for my hubby and I. would return if we lived closer!!

    If you are craving some hot pot and you feel like you starving, why not try Happy Sheep in Torrance. I believe this place is a chain because I've seen the logo from other cuties. The place in Torrance was pretty busy for lunch and it is all you can eat. So you can order as much as you can eat. But overall I just ordered a few plates of beef and lamb. I think my favorite is to get vegetables in the pot more so than meat. But overall it's your choice of what you want to do. Just FYI the pot is shared with people in your group. We had three people for our table so we got to eat I believe more variety. They have a sauce bar as well, but I think the soup broth is enough and you don't need the sauce. But to each their own. Service was a little bit hard since there were only literally two staff members and they had to keep running back and forth to each table to get their orders. It is a slow lunch but if you have time, this place is decent.

    Is this the same owners of Little Sheep Hot Pot by? Thank you

    Is there a vegan broth option that is spicy?

    Doesn't look like there is, but they have spicy oil at the sauce bar that you can add on your own.

    What are the hours?

    They close at 8pm on weeknights according to a phone call

    Is the all you can eat all day or just for dinner?

    They have an all you can eat option at lunch. Staff and service aren't too nice, though. Very cold and clearly not very interested in customer service. Bummer, because the food is pretty good.

    Do you have an a la carte option?

    Yes! They have all you can eat menu and an a la carte menu. The a la carte menu has more options.

Our adviser, Alex, was so helpful and brought out their special sauces that defining elevated our experience. He explained each beef profile and the broths in detail and walked us through the best way to eat. I was skeptical at first how much different the wagyu versus non-wagyu meats are so we tried the wagyu round versus the eye of round to compare an we can immediately taste the difference. The wagyu melts in your mouth, there's a stronger umami flavor, and overall sticks to your tastebuds much stronger than the non-wagyu beef. Both delicious but I did find the wagyu beef a lot more memorable and much easier to chew. The service here was fantastic and shoutout Alex again for pointing out the happy hour specials. We enjoyed $2 house sake which is unheard of! I love the ambiance in here because you can come as you are but still feels elevated and comfortable. Highly recommend to come with a friend or group and enjoy the experience together.

We saw an empty table next to us with 2 burners so we kindly asked if we could move. She said no because the two burner tables were for parties of 5 plus. Totally understandable! An hour passes and we see a party of 3 at a 2 burner table AND that empty table still empty. Food is great; make sure you make a reservation!

My favorite condiment is the grated daikon sauce. We quickly finished our round 1 and ordered more. The server came by to add more broth too. The place was busy on a cold and damp evening so we had to share the long table with a couple we don't know when they showed up. When my nephew showed up with his wife, they had to sit in the bar area for their food. I know it's my own fault but I tend to overeat every time I visit AYCE hotpot places.

The thick noodle complimented the soup really well and it was such a nice way to end the meal! +for appetizers, spicy snack nappa, which was super delicious fresh kimchi appetizer. 1000% recommend ordering this! -we also ordered karaage and mentaiko but they were forgettable so we wouldn't order that again I was impressed with the quality of some of the meat! Will definitely be back again
