I think the biggest complaint is that it feels pricey if there isn't a promotion or deal, but i dont expect it to be enough of a deterrent for us.The meats were tasty and tender and the variety in the buffet bar of items is pretty good. It's a little curious to me regarding the counter of items where you need to request them, but they offered some interesting things like blood cake.
I didn't get VIP but the meats in VIP seem much better. You have to help yourself with mostly everything like a buffet i.e. sides, vegetables, plates/bowls, sauces, drinks.
It's been a while since our last trip to Happy Lamb Hot Pot, and since then the restaurant changed the format. Instead of picking items off a menu, it is more fixed-price with a few options, then you pick whatever veggies and proteins you'd like for your hot pot. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons for this change, but it was a bit of a surprise at first.That being said, the change is awesome. Can try a much wider variety of items in as little or as large a quantity you like. Food was excellent, service was friendly. Will go again.
So happy we ignored the negative reviews!! We ate here tonight and would definitely come back. This was our first experience eating “hot pot” style. From the super helpful staff to the variety of foods offered, we were more than pleased with our choices. We ordered the all you can eat option which allowed us to try several different meats, noodles and veggies. We were even allowed to bring our own wine inside!! Bonus!! thank you so much to Dan for explaining and guiding us through the whole process
My first hotpot experience! I really enjoyed all the food. If you're gonna get meat, I would definitely recommend the garlic beef, it was our favorite! Something that was a little annoying was that the servers would keep adding extra broth without us needing, and it caused everything we added in to get lost, so we were constantly adding things since we couldn't find what we added. The broth was definitely really spicy too, so definitely order accordingly.
My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary. He's never been to a hot pot so it was a fun experience overall. Good selection of vegetables and other items. Service was overall good however felt like they were rushing us towards the end. Overall a good time and will definitely go back.
A great hot pot restaurant. It is not an all you can eat place, but the price you pay for what you get is surely worth it. They have a spicy and non spicy soup for you to coock with and a huge variety of meat to choose from. It was one of the best hot pot places i've been to in NJ. Definitely recommend the place.
I love the food, it's delicious. I've been faithfully eating there for four years now at least twice a month. My problem is the new management cause there's not a lot of staff anymore to attend to customer, you'll never get what you need on your table or you chase after the servers. I decided not to give tip today because of the service I receive, and the moment I walk out of the door to my car one if the servers came running to me that I didn't include any tip. If I didn't receive the service I need why the harassment? If it was compulsory tip I could understand, but this server came running after me like I refuse to pay for my food and that's not cool, especially when you guys see my face there all the time. That's not nice.
Nice environment, good service, and friendly. It was great on pricing and unlimited buffet access.
It’s a perfect dinner place for chilly weather! They are doing all you can in now for two choice, vegetarian or meats ($40 per person including tip, a bit pricey though). They said they will be launching premium meat option soon. This is one of the best hot pot place I have ever been. Great variety of food choice, fresh vegetable and thin sliced meats, and rich broth. Their service is fast and nice. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend to my friends
