Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Beaverton

Super yummy food! We thought the portions would be smaller so we accidentally ordered way too much food but it was all super yummy and healthy. So many fun flavors and textures. Excellent service and atmosphere. Def gets crowded fast though and a bit expensive. Def a special occasion spot for me and my love.

Worst hot pot I have ever had. Broth is bland and unsalted. Meat is also unsalted. We paid extra for premium all you can eat, but apparently that doesn't come with salt or sauces so everything was just bland boiled meat. The spicy broth wasn't even spicy. The premium tiger shrimp were rancid. Service was horrible and disorganized. You have to order from the host when they seat you before you see a menu. The waitress said "I don't know" when I asked what meat she brought out. The staff looked miserable and were unhelpful. The meat was brought out before the broth. The apps came out last - over an hour after we ordered them. When they finally came out, one of the cheese balls exploded and badly burnt my hand. I don't have a single good thing to say about this place. Edit: next day update. We got food poisoning from eating here also. I wish I could take another star away but it was already at one.

I recently dined at Happy Lamb Hotpot, and it was an excellent experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The menu offered a fantastic selection of fresh ingredients, from high-quality meats to a variety of vegetables and noodles. I especially loved the lamb slices—they were incredibly tender and flavorful. The broths were rich and aromatic, with options ranging from mild to spicy, catering to all tastes.

We tried the all you can eat and it was so delicious! The sauce bar costs extra but is a must. All the meats were very delicious and the service was fast and wonderful. I loved the free tea and snacks in the waiting room!

Food was delicious no doubt about it but how could you go wrong I would definitely stay with the two most popular broths curry was okay and I would recommend getting a little at first and then ordering more cause we got full quite fast surprisingly

I read the soup menu and it was quite difficult to understand. I was hoping to eat Mala, which is spicy and numbing like in China. Please explain it clearly in the menu. Everything is good, but the time limit is short and the price is a bit high.

WoW! This place is truly for gluttons out there. Great taste, all sorts of condiments, spice levels and desserts available. Best if you come early during opening hours. The service is okay considering the hefty demanding tasks at hand there. Would be nice if the menu made more sense to newcomers or beginners. Usually, have to share a burner per table. So seat wisely if you're avoiding mix up with certain broths. They didn't offer chicken based only broth, so I had to do vegan broth since no P or B for me. It would be a great addition of they could simply offer chicken based broths as well which would definitely increase your customers who are not into P or B.

I absolutely love this hot pot place! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for gathering with friends and family. The selection of ingredients is vast and fresh, with everything from thinly sliced meats to a variety of vegetables and noodles. The broth options are delicious and flavorful, and the staff is always helpful in recommending the best combinations. I love being able to customize my own hot pot experience and cook my food to perfection at the table. The service is always top-notch, with servers checking in regularly to refill drinks and make sure everything is going smoothly. Overall, this is the best hot pot place I have ever been to and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and delicious dining experience.

My first review was over three years ago. Since then my partner and I have come at least twice a month since. We have what we order down to a science lol. We started to travel and whenever we do, we visit their local Happy Lambs and so far, out of the 4 we have tried, this is the best. Hands down. I love it here, I with they had a loyalty card program like how casinos are cause we would be diamond members at this point.

Updating my review. The service seems to have improved but can still be hit or miss during peak hours. We go with the half and half broth. The meat, veggie, dumpling, and noodle options are good. They have an all you can eat lunch and dinner price and the option to pay for a sauce bar and a premium all you can eat. Personally, I don't the premium is worth the added cost but it is good.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot offered a good quality of hot pot additions. My partner and I went during lunch on a weekday (around 3pm for $28/person) and were seated immediately and saw a handful of other parties. It is a nice place to go to try a variety of items and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate! Portions sizes of each item varies, and we were surprised to get such large quantities of certain things (such as rice, Napa cabbage and the meats). Some portions seemed limited by each round, as we wrote a larger quantity for certain items and didn't get anything more. The afternoon crew for my weekday lunch was very responsive and provided more of the item when we requested it after our third round! The two Broth flavors we got were House Original Bone Marrow and Curry Marrow Broth. We especially loved the House Original Bone Marrow and believe the Curry Marrow Broth was spot on. We will definitely be willing to come here again and loved the variety and flavors that Happy Lamb Hot Pot has to offer.

Loved all the vegetarian toppings they had, despite the name. They had different types of tofus, veggies, spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, and more. I had the vegan curry broth which was good, and you can also make your own sauces. It's all you can eat with 3 rounds of whatever you'd like so definitely come hungry. I'd suggest coming with a party of 6 because they get 3 different burners for broths. Even though we had 5 we had to share one burner so we had to split it. Service wasn't as great, as they forgot to get us the items we requested and mixed our food with other tables, but they were also busy. My only other feedback is that I wished they would have a burner for every two people instead especially at the price but otherwise it's worth the experience, especially as a group

It's never too hot for hotpot, we opted for the all you can eat option because then you don't have to worry about the cost and you can order as much as you like! Both cuts of beef were amazing, quality seemed better and portions larger than when we came last year. The beef portions were ample and nice cuts. We also loved the shrimp balls and the hot chicken wings were amazing! Skip the fried rice... it's a huge mountain of it. Otherwise definitley coming back. Lots of parking. Also note you can only add checkmarks for QTY1 of each item per round. Service was good.

Love my hotpot experience here at beaverton Happy lamb. （Mark）offers a welcome attitude to our group. He always get our bottle filled up, our booth full and checked on the foods we orders. The only sad thing is they don't have the 西米露 and 牛筋 all the time on their sauce bar. Without the 西米露and牛筋, I will give it a 4 stars. Mark's good service add one more star. So total 5 stars.

I've only experienced the all-you-can-eat hot pot at Happy Lamb, so I can't speak to their à la carte options. The all-you-can-eat experience offers a great variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables but the broth options are the star. Particularly the house special and spicy broths, which are flavorful and aromatic. The variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables is also impressive. While the service can be inconsistent, ranging from slow response times to inattentiveness during busy periods, it's never deterred me from returning. One nice addition is that they now provide high-quality bibs for diners, which they didn't offer before. It's a small but thoughtful touch that makes the messy hot pot experience more enjoyable The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, perfect for group gatherings, though it can get a bit noisy at peak times. It's a fun, interactive dining experience!

Great price for AYCE hotpot. Good meats, no line, friendly staff. What more can you ask for? Place is clean, nice spot to eat (even alone). Sauce bar is extra, to me it was not worth it. To each their own, but I came for the meats!

Absolutely loved my experience here. First time having hot pot in the Portland area and it certainly won't be my last. You get a lot of bang for your buck here! The broths were delicious. The curry was by the far the super star of the three I had. $32 for all you can eat. You can upgrade to better quality meat for $40 I believe but I didn't do that this time. The sauce bar was on point, they had every sauce you can possible want at a hot pot restaurant. Service was attentive. It was quite busy when I went- arrived around 7:30 on a Saturday night and waited 45 minutes to be sat. The restaurant itself is clean and maintained well. Ample parking available as this is in a strip mall area. This is all you can eat you will not leave hungry!

I will start by saying this was our first time having Hot Pot. It was also a birthday celebration. We walked in and were greeted. We were asked if we wanted AYCE or by order. We had no idea which to choose or had any explanation so we went with AYCE. We were sat down, asked about drinks and then left to figure it out on our own! We ordered way to much food the first round, received no follow up service, no drink refills ect. Overall the broth was good. The AYCE sauce bar is a absolute MUST. We enjoyed Hot Pot but we would not be back to Happy Lamb most likely. Service was just so poor for the amount of money we spent. The restaurant was alright as a whole. It's terribly hard to get to the bathrooms due to the trays down the aisle. The people next to us were so loud at times we couldn't hear ourselves talking to one another.

Came here multiple times and we've always left full (sometimes more than we should lol) and satisfied! The place gets pretty busy and can get crowded during peak times. Love the side bar and the ability to make your own sauces. Love going here!

Love this place. Can't believe it took me so long to make it here. We went on a Saturday night so it was bustling you walk into the door and it's super lively and smells delicious. We did the non-deluxe menu, which had plenty of variety and options (the only sad thing was no enoki mushrooms). You order in three different rounds and it's all you can eat. I believe they do have a Non. All you can eat option to a few of their recommendations which have a little lamb next to them all of which we were happy with of course had to get the sauce bar/appetizers and desserts for an extra three dollars, the appetizers and desserts seem to very throughout the night, and the sauce options were. Staff was very diligent about filling, water and refilling broth, which is very important. Overall, highly recommend, seems pretty darn worth the price too.

Had a great time at this place on a busy Saturday night! To be completely honest, it isn't a great value, but the quality of the food seems really good and the service was great. We opted for the higher quality AYCE, which was $45/person if I remember correctly. This was actually quite a deal for us because we spent over $60/person if we paid per item, but it's still a lot more than we've paid at other hot pot for the same quality. The quality of all the food (meat, vegetables, noodles, etc) was great! The fresh thick cut noodles were my favorite! Along with the wagyu beef and lamb meatballs for the meat options. The service was also quite good and our waitress was very quick to ask us if we wanted more food whenever she saw empty plates. Sometimes AYCE places can be intentionally slow, but the service was super fast here. Overall, a great option, but a little expensive for the higher-quality cuts.

So much food! I came in for a late lunch with friends and we were a little too late to do the all you can eat buffet so we ordered a couple of broths and too many things to put in that broth. We got the veggie combo (too much lettuce), the seafood combo and a meat combo, plus noodles and we ate until we were stuffed. Service was great and I was really glad to be able to participate in the hotpot as I've been to a lot of places where it was not pescetarian/vegetarian friendly. Location is in a strip mall and there's abundant parking. Restaurant decor is definitely chain restaurant with a bit of flair. I would definitely go back have more!

Good & reasonably priced for what you get. I wasn't a big fan of the spicy broth, but that's just my preference. I've had noodle dishes with the same pepper they use to season ( like Dan Dan noodles) & I'm just not a fan, but excited to try some of their other broths in the future. We were accidentally charged for something extra we didn't order, but they were very quick to fix it. Just something to keep an eye out for. Very loud & crowded, but expected because of how good & popular it is, so no fault on them. Can't blame them for being good. They are very attentive & come around to refill broth frequently, which was great & helped dilute the seafood taste left in our broth once we moved onto our second round, red meat. I keep bugging my husband to take me back. Really yummy food.

I was really disappointed the last time I visited during dinner time because Happy Lamb ran out of the mushroom broth and failed to stock up ingredients in their sauce bar. Otherwise, I love the options for hotpot because there are fresh ingredients for vegetables.

Based on value ....I think definitely a good option to load up on some beef and protein!! Soup options are ok but definitely made up by protein options plus a very fair price lunch point!! Don't get it twisted....No comparison to Haidilao but my go to for local Shabu options!! Staff was friendly and helpful but unfortunately $3.99 extra charge for sauces disguised into an all you can eat buffet bar was terrible and very unfortunate!!

Hot pot is the perfect cozy day meal and I can't say enough good things about Happy Lamb! When we are getting ready to hibernate, we do the all you can eat option but their portions are so large that we only get 2 rounds in! The a la carte menu is also great if you're craving hot pot but have to control yourself. The meat is super fresh and the broth choices are great. We started getting the half and half -- sour + spicy and the traditional broth. Definitely the best of both worlds! I'm a huge fan of the sauce bar as they switch up the appetizers and desserts all the time. Oh and the watermelon juice is fantastic. Get the jug.

I love hotpot, and this is a great place to start for anyone who hasn't had it before. In general though there is so much food - if I eat hotpot, it's the only meal I eat the entire day. the service is great. It's usually not too busy, which is really nice since food comes fast. the self serve sauce bar is also very nice. I usually order the lamb, quail eggs, noodles, fish cake, and more. My favorite is the bone marrow broth or tomato base broth. I would definitely recommend it!

If it's your birthday I recommend coming here with friends for your free AYCE! The wait can be long but the staff are hard working and attentive. We always have a variety of meats, seafood, and dumplings. The octopus, lamb, and fish roe dumplings are my favorites.

Wonderfully fresh and various choices. The co-workers I went with all plan to return with family soon. The ayce sauce bar has the delicious cake, wood ear mushroom and peanut salad. Clean quiet restroom and nice environment.

Service today was subpar, already knew dinning on a Friday past 7 in evening was expected to be busier than usual, however the cleaning and sanitation fell short. Had to get utensils replaced, chairs cleaned as there were food residue left on them and sauce bar near last hour is a bit messy understandably however found a long piece of hair laying around which was a little more than expected. Menu price is the same however items on menu have shrunk and that could be for good cause to reduce waste and to give those doing a la carte more option. Portion size shrunk also and items come in smaller size overall, which again is not a bad idea to avoid waste and overeating. The broth base we really wanted to try was mushroom and that was out so that was very disappointing, however we still decided to dine after all that wait time. still give 4 stars because we've dined here many times for different occasions and with smaller to larger parties. Did feel a bit rush to order even though we were seated with 1 hr 15 mins to order and eat, our official order wasn't taken until 10-15 mins after we've seated and waited for someone to come service. Ordered 2nd round 15-20 mins into eating and before we began, service came for 3rd round as they're doing last order and this was 30 mins to closing. Felt like the experience today was just not as good as other times and felt very rushed eating.

This is my first time eating at Happy Lamb, my family and I didn't feel welcome at all. The service was awful, especially that one waitress who didn't give any instructions on how to order at all. I tick the wrong thing because I didn't know what "R1 R2 R3" is, we chose all you can eat that's why I was confused that there are rounds. So I thought it was something else, she was very rude about it and didn't kindly correct me on that, she just walked away. The food was okay, I guess, not the sauce for sure because there was a hair in the sauce so I didn't eat it. I already told the worker that there was a hair but they didn't seem to acknowledge it. First time and last time, I'm not coming back. (To add on to this, when I went in it wasn't a peak hour at all so there shouldn't be any excuse for not taking care of our table because there wasn't any waitress who checked in on our table at all)

Never come back ,stomach hurt and had diarrhea after eating them, sad i didn't see them sooner.

Food: It was good 8/10. The soda was horrid it smelled like mop water and had an awful taste and was also pretty flat. Finally got the waiter to stop at our table and asked for a watermelon water I apparently got the last one so it was pretty watered down. Meat choices were pretty good and good quantities. Service: 1/10 Horrible, only saw the waiter twice the entire time we were there. Only got one refill on water and we had a large group so we ran out pretty fast. I probably wouldn't have tipped, but they have an automatic tip for large groups. Ambiance: 3/10 music is nice, but it's super crowded and not ADA friendly. The two large tables that they had were being used by large parties and the only other seating they had were booths with small aisles that are even smaller due to them putting the trays out with food. I'm surprised it's not a violation.

My partner and I are huge fans of hot pot. We can't get enough of this stuff. We always seem to go to one main hot pot place but they were closed on a Monday and we wanted to branch out and try happy lamb again. They had some new options for broth, one was a mushroom broth while the other was a curry style broth. By far amazing. I could not have picked better broths to make us want to come back again! (We did!! The next week!) I want to say it's about 40 a person but they do also charge for the sauce bar which is about 3 dollars. That's not all included. A little but if a bummer but it's hey do set out a little extra razzle dazzle so it makes it worth it. They allow you 3 orders with the all you can eat and you have so many choices! 3 times is more than enough! I believe we only made two rounds. Overall delicious and service was great!

Delicious! Easy to learn the process and then a very fun evening. My 12 year old loved taking over some of the cooking for the rest of us. And we all left very full.

Love this place it's so yummy. Definitely would recommend getting the AYCE very worth it.

This was such a fantastic first experience with hot pot! If you're not familiar it's a location where you cook your own food in a boiling soup at the center of the table. It follows a similar setup to Korean bbq where you place a large order for a party and then work together to cook and eat the food. I would recommend getting the half and half and trying two different types of stews. The service is great as they come by often enough to check on you to make sure your meal is progressing well and will fill your orders for a second and third time as long as you chose the all you can eat option. This is a great option for a party of 4 and there is also space for larger parties as long as you are okay sharing a table with another party. Have gone twice and loved it both times! Very delicious ingredients and great options to eat. Would absolutely go back.

The food was exceptional, the service fast ( they want to turn the table) and friendly. We had pork, beef, and lamb that was thinly sliced and the hot pot was split between a very spicy sauce and a milder one. I would recommend adding another $2.50 to your 'all-you-can-eat' ( around $30/person) to get more sauces, salad ( with great kimchi) and dessert. We signed up for a waiting list but we're seated right away ( at 6 pm). By the time they gently kicked us out around 7:30 pm the waiting area was completely full. Only about 10% of the customers are white, which usually means 'authentic Asian food'.

If you never had hot pot before I recommend Happy Lamb. It's a fun hands on experience, perfect for large groups. They have two kinds of broth spicy and non, both are delicious.

I'm genuinely surprised I've never shared my thoughts about Happy Lamb Hot Pot before. As someone who loves good food and quality service, I feel I've been remiss in not spreading the word about this restaurant. I've attended countless birthday parties and celebrations at this outstanding location, so my frequency alone is testament to how much I like dining here! Hot Pot is a great option for anyone looking for a fun and interactive dining experience. Meals here entail a communal pot of simmering broth that diners use to cook a variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles at their own pace. Happy Lamb offers a wide range of ingredients to choose from, including different cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and seafood, as well as an impressive selection of vegetables, tofu and dumplings. Do yourself a favor and order a 50/50 split broth; half a pot with spicy chili oil peppercorn broth, and half with their classic broth with herbs, goji berries, ginseng, and other spices. The base broths are perfectly delicious and will take on the flavor of whatever you're cooking, but don't be afraid to be adventurous when adding spices and sauces to enhance the flavor to your liking. The restaurant staff should regularly come by to add more broth to your pot, so you can compensate for overly-spiced broth if your brain and tastebuds can't seem to agree on how much heat you can handle. To make the most of your meal at Happy Lamb Hot Pot, it's important to pace yourself and plan accordingly. Start with lighter ingredients like vegetables and tofu before moving on to heartier meats and noodles. And don't forget to sip on some hot tea or cold beverages to help balance out the heat and saltiness of the broth. If you've never experienced hot pot before, I highly suggest checking out Happy Lamb! It's a great place to get an introduction to one of my favorite dining experiences. Noodles and broth are my happy place.

Happy Lamb = Unhappy Customers TLDR: Good food, awful service and ambience. So, just to get it out of the way, the food was fine, and in fact, quite good. Wish we could have ordered more but the service....good lord..... To start with, we werent greeted when we came in. Two young girls, who werent doing anything when we arrived, began talking to each other while we stood there. We were confused, standing there for a few minutes, and thought maybe we were supposed to use the little touch screen thing to check in, so I walked up to it and only then did one of them acknowledge us. Hmmm One asked if we were doing "all you can eat." We said "no" but that seemed to be confusing. She seemed to want to know what we wanted right there. We are shown to our table and not given any instructions or even spoken to for that matter. Fortunately we have dined at hot pots in LA quite often, so I was able to fill out the menu. It took about 10 minutes before our server showed up and asked about drinks. My wife ordered a wine, as there were quite a few alcohol choices on the menu, but the server said they didnt have any. Huh? "oh, we were confused because it's on the menu" "Well, we lost our liquor license" She said. mmmmkay. We got our order in and the food came out pretty quickly. We enjoyed it, as I said above, there wasnt anything wrong with the food. One thing - every hot pot we have been to provides cooking times for the items. This establishment did not. Be sure to cook your food though, particularly the meatballs! Seems like food poisoning waiting to happen giving raw meat to people without instruction. Oh, that was the other thing, someone came by and mixed up our raw meat tongs with our other tongs. WTF? We only ordered one meat portion as we werent sure how much we wanted at first or what the portion sizes would be. We wanted to order more, so we waited....and waited......and waited. No one ever came back to our table. Ever. We sat for almost an hour. We saw our server actually leave after about 40 minutes but no one took over our table. I tried to get the attention of the other servers, but the eye-contact avoidance and adept scurrying by our table was Ninja-Wizard Level. Truly impressive. I dont know if something was happening on that particular day or what. We noticed quite a few people walking their order form up to staff to pay as no one was bringing out checks. My wife floated the idea of just leaving, but I try to avoid breaking the law when possible. LOL. So, I walked the order form up to the front. One person took it without speaking and gave it to someone else. She pushed it back to us after running it through and no one said a word, so we werent even thanked for sitting there....in a restaurant....hungry. I felt no remorse about leaving a $0 tip. We definitely will not return. Confused by all the positive reviews as there was definitely something amiss that night. I'm not risking it though. We drove out of our way to eat there, so there's no impetus for us to go again. Ambiance: the aisles are too narrow. In fact, I dont think they are wheelchair compliant. Given the fact that the restroom is in back I cant believe this place passes inspection. They put trays at the end of the tables making it hard for even an ambulatory person to walk through, let along someone with a walker or other assistance. The ayce bar is crowded. This is the only hot pot I've ever been to where you cant access both sides. The plates are under the bar and most of their cabinets were empty, so I literally had to kneel down on the floor to get a bowl and plate. Initially I gave them 2 stars because of the food, but reading back on my review, I'm dropping it to a 1 because of the safety issues. Curious how they lost their liquor license. I'm sure it was because of the level of organization and lack of professionalism I witnessed. Definitely one of THE worst dining experiences we've had.

Back in my days, this place was called Little Sheep, but I heard Happy Lamb is the same and all gucci. A solid spot, but a little pricey so why not just buy the packet from AFC (asian food center), the supermarket next door and make your own. Lotsa food tho. They got the pots where you can do two different broths, and I like to do one spicy and one nonspicy. Sometimes the spicy be too hot and my tongue be hella sweatin and just needs a break, ya feel me?

Been to this restaurant a few times & always enjoyed the food. There is a huge selection of items to order & we're always so full after AYCE. During our recent visit our server didn't say much, but was super quick with the food. After an hour in we realized our server probably left and there was a different server replacing him. That's when things went downhill. We were going for our third round of food and our new server was super aggressive suggesting that we should not order our third order & that we wouldn't finish resulting in an extra charge. He acted like the cost of the restaurant's food was coming out of his own pocket. The correct way to go about it was just to give us a heads up that there would be an extra charge if we didn't finish, but being a former server I assumed he was trying to "flip his tables" so he could get as many customers & make as much tips as possible. Nevertheless, we were not happy with his aggressive service that day. We hope it was a one off because I love coming to this place.

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD CHARGES Absolutely appalled at the business practice. I ate here with a colleague, looking forward to a warm dinner on a chilly evening. I paid with a company card and left a cash tip. I clearly marked that no tip was to be charged on the card (we have a maximum) and handed them the cash with the signed receipt. A week later I get a flagged notice for the over charge - they added their own tip! Its absolutely despicable.

I want to give a 5 star for the great great excellent service! Everyone we asked for help like get a new plate, more water, new chopsticks, everyone was super nice and helpful! The best service I have ever experienced in a hotpot restaurant. The price is reasonable for the amount of food, and the quality of the food. We really enjoyed the appetizers and fresh fruits! Sweet grapes, oranges, melon for all you can eat! Fried chicken wing are juicy and tasty! Fried rice are wonderful. The broth was delicious! Veggies are fresh, meat are good meat for the price, the shrimp balls are so good, the lamb and pork are delicious. I hope this restaurant can grow and have more new locations!

This spot is ALWAYS busy, which is a good sign. I recommend going for an early dinner or lunch otherwise you will wait for a while, especially with larger groups. The H Mart next door is lovely to walk through while you wait. They charge you extra if you want access to their sauce bar, and if one person at the table wants it everyone else is charged... kind of bogus if you ask me! They have a lot of delicious food options, tons of veggies, and I haven't had something yet I didn't enjoy. Only downside, and this has happened all three times I've gone, they always miss something on your list. You fill out a paper checking what items you want per order, most of the waiters will reiterate what's been marked and then go get it... but somehow things still get skipped or missed. We've even asked if they had the item, cause things run out, that's life, and they say they have it but it's never brought to us. It's very loud, tons of tables, not a private or quiet spot but it's enjoyable. Only weird thing is they have TV's randomly throughout and the news is always on... not exactly what I want to watch while I'm out to eat with friends.

Sooooooo good. Great options, delicious, always busy because of that. Great value for your buck and a fun experience.

This is my favorite location in all of Oregon to enjoy some delicious hot pot. The atmosphere is very welcoming and spacious. I truly enjoy the sauce bar, so you can fill up at your convenience. The broth choices are delicious and they have a great amount of options to add into your soup. I definitely recommend going for the all you can eat price. The employees are always so kind and very attentive. It's definitely worth it!

Happy Lamb Hotpot in Portland is my go-to spot for hotpot! The all-you-can-eat option is perfect for a big group, and the clean ambiance with ample parking is a plus. Over the years, they've stepped up their game with a sauce bar and improved food presentation. The iPad screen for reservations is a nice touch. On the flip side, prices have gone up, probably due to the lack of competition. The restroom could use a bit more attention in terms of cleanliness. Overall, still a solid choice for hotpot cravings!

Happy Lamb was my first hot pot experience, but it certainly won't be my last. I loved the decor and intimate vibe of the restaurant. The booth walls were high so you feel like you have a bit of privacy. It was a bit intimidating to figure out how the whole process works, so we were hoping to receive some more direction from the staff in terms of how the ordering process works, cooking times, and recommendations. We came for lunch and it wasn't very busy but almost everyone we interacted with seemed a bit rushed. That said, everything we tried was amazing. I tried the spicy marrow broth and my friend opted for the mushroom broth. Both were delightfully savory and paired well with all the meat and veggie options we selected. My favorites were the pork belly, bean curd, and Napa cabbage. The price was also very reasonable considering it was all you can eat. And definitely don't sleep on the watermelon juice. It was so refreshing, like summer in a cup.

Good food, super tasty and a nice seats. The lighting is a bit in your face but it is still nice. We had to wait a long time to get the check and also have someone to pick up the check. Asking multiple times watching other people receiving their checks before us.

If you want a unique Asian dining experience, you can go wrong with hot pot, especially at this restaurant. It's buzzing with activity, steamy delights and a great assortment of options. The "hot pot" is a mini-cauldron filled with a broth of your choice. It's placed on the table, and a you can adjust the temperature underneath until it's boiling. You then add whatever fixings you want: meat, fish, vegetables, noodles and more. After it cooks for a few minutes, just ladle out the delicacies and voila: your meal is done. The quality is outstanding and it's fun to watch the steam rising from the tables around you. I hesitate to give it five stars because our waiter wasn't as knowledgeable as he should have been (perhaps he was new), and it's a bit on the pricey side. We opted for a la carte, but the "everything" option is more than $40/person. Other than that, we'd go back again, especially with a group of people. You should too.

Been here many times recently. Despise the price increase, Happy Lamb is still my favorite hotpot franchise and is more affordable than others. The taste is good as usual. Food and broth options vary from time to time. Service was fast every time I went. However, things I do not like: 1. They never introduce what they bring out as many other hotpot places do. I did not enjoy some of their meat and wanted to avoid getting them again but did not know what they were. 2. There is a limit on starters/appetizers and possibly on everything else too. I believe they only look at the # of people at the table, not the # you put down on the menu. No matter what # I put down for appetizers (Fried buns and fried chicken wings), they only gave us the amount of the size of our party. Ex. for a party size of 2, you will only get 2 pieces even if you put down 6. I like veggies and always got the same amount regardless of the # I put. Why skimp on these when they are so cheap? It could be a waste prevention method but still not fun for people who don't waste food. 3. I've only made it to round 3 twice so far without being given a check during round 2. When I had a party of 2, they always said "thank you" to us with a check during round 2 even though we were way under 1.5 hrs, no exception. Although I had room for round 3, I always left after receiving the check. It could be another way of waste prevention but kills my appetite.

Food is good but service is slow and rude... I came 2 hours before closing and they refused to take my name down because they had to get ready for closing? Didn't think I was late to grab food here when you cook the food at your table. Don't recommend, there are better places than here.

I'm still on the fence about the sauce bar. It's just that little "extra" that I'm not sure I could do without. But my wife loves it so we'll be enjoying that during future visits. The service is always top-notch. Seating can feel a bit cramped when the dining room is full, but they always seem to find space when you get there. The food is good and portions are generous. There are many places I simply will not revisit because each order after the first is so tiny and often takes forever to arrive. But not here. We always leave stuffed and satisfied.

Hot pot is always a good time. We came for my sisters birthday and had a giant spread of options. The broth was pretty good as well. Service was incredible and it wasn't too loud or busy either. Lots of parking available.

Fun place! Never had hot pot before. Great for a special occasion. Service was great & food was delicious. We ordered many things and all were good. You definitely need to pay for the sauce & appetizers. You can make your own dipping sauce. Yumm.
