If you have no objection to paying for $30 a head for all you can eat, and having to pay an additional $11-12 for the broth that is required to cook the meat and other ingredients for your meal, this is your place. Make sure everyone in your party brings cash or have someone willing to pay up front for everyone, as they only separate the bill when you pay cash. We did not find this out until after we'd been directed to the register to pay.
Delicious. Great quality of meats, excellent broth, and ..friendly service! It was the first hot pot experience for a few of my friends and the server explained how the menu works. That’s just very nice for a super Chinese place. We also chilled for hours and it was all good and we got free Melona bars which blew my mind. Definitely coming back and telling everybody.Don’t come right at 4pm though, they might not actually be opened yet
20.99 for lunch but additional 4.99 for a soup base. The ingredients are fresh. good selection, and the meats are nicely shaved and tasty. There is also a funky robot that serves you.Only downside they seem to have gotten rid of their free drinks.
This restaurant is my favourite hot pot places to go to in Toronto. I frequent this place often with my boyfriend and family for their wide variety of dishes to add to the pot, their affordability, and their location in the downtown core.Happy Lamb has a wide variety of selection to choose from, more so for those dining in the evening. Their soup bases are tasty and compliment any meat, vegetable, tofu, etc. very well. I would recommend the clear broth for those who think they’re good with spicy foods, the next step up is extremely spicy! You can purchase soup bases to share or individually, the larger size is good for 2-4 people. I would recommend the individual option if someone has an allergy to peanuts or sesame just to precent cross-contamination from the sauces.I deducted one star however for the ambiance. Although there is never any waiting, the restaurant does look a bit dead at times and quiet. I find that they don’t play music frequent enough or loud enough while dining. However, their food is delicious nonetheless. It’s a diamond in the rough if you will.I would recommend coming here for a casual dinner with friends or family. You’re here for the food, not the experience/ambiance.
Happy Lamb has the yummiest hot pot experience. With a variety of meats, veggies, and other variety of food presented to your order, you can cook at your own pace with your own personal hot pot. Temperature is in your control! For cold winter nights in Downtown Toronto - to summer gathering with friends or family, I cannot recommend this cozy restaurant enough! The mango popsicle was a great way to finish such an indulgent meal.Update - went a month later, still delicious as ever! Shrimp cake was neat in the hot pot!
Loved it! The service was so friendly and ingredients are fresh. Good value for AYCE!
Good food, friendly staffs and spacious space. Otherwise the service is quite slow. Seem like they’re understaffed. The rest is worth to try ??
Mid-range price for hotpot around town, food was pretty good though the fried fritter I ordered came burnt, but honestly it's worth going at least once for the experience of the incredibly cheerful jamming robot waiter
I want to give this 3.5 ⭐️ Considering price, quality and options. It was good but not great spot.Lots of hot pot options (mash shrimp, quail eggs and handmade noodles are a MUST) they were good quality considering price. We had the spring roll and it was trash but hot pot choices are good.Their broth compared to other places isn’t as good, way saltier and I didn’t enjoy their sauce choices (extremely salty and not complimenting) I’m a sauce person and these didn’t hit the pot.Great first place to try but definitely had better. Service although friendly was slow due to being understaffed, I feel for them but the ordering was difficult due to it.
This is one of the most affordable AYCE (All You Can Eat) Hotpot joints where you literally can order off the menu as much as you need (or want for that matter).There is a lunch menu and dinner menu where the lunch menu is pretty much mostly vegetable or processed meat items like fishballs etc and frozen meats (basically all hotpot places use frozen meat as I think it's more hygenic and easier to cut). For the lunch menu they don't have sliced meat option so you got to add like $5 or something for it, but if you go during dinner, it is more expensive but you get a way larger variety of meats and spare parts (like tripes, stomach, intestines and frog legs etc). They have a weekend surcharge which is additional CAD 1 before tax and tips from Friday to Sunday and public holidays.Soup base is not included in the AYCE price and they have small single soup base pots or a large pot for sharing or even better, a large pot with dual soup base where you can choose from. If I remember correctly the soup bases are tomato, clear, spicy, sour and spicy (different from just spicy). Depending on your choice of small single pots or large shared pot, they will assign you different table types as the tables have the 2 different types of configurations, electronic individual pot stoves or one large pot stove.Basically food wise, soup base wise and ingredients wise they are great. This place is not small but if I didn't remember wrongly, they only had like 3 servers (where one of they also collects payment) for a space of more than 15 tables so for hungry customers who eat very fast or don't order enough, you'll have to wait quite long before their server comes to you. One key thing to note is no matter how much quantity you specify on your order sheet, they kind of ignore that and just give what they think is adequate for the number of people in the group or number or reorders (the more reorders, I reckon the lesser the quantity, even though I specified like 3 * 3 prawns, I was given only 5 pieces of prawns though they did specify in their menu how many prawns per portion). They do miss outitems now and then so if you remind them, they'll bring it for you. One suggestion is to order the most variety of ingredients at one go and add on more later on if they don't provide enough.They do deploy a robot server to bring the large quantity of food to your table but the real server will come with a stand and big tray to place all your food on given the limited space there is on the table top.Food wise based on price is definitely 5 stars but I dropped 2 stars for service as they are severely understaffed and quantity of food is not fulfilled so the average comes to a 4 stars. Hope they can manage this better or more efficiently without increasing the price, else it will be lower rated.
