Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Allston

The Happy Lamb Hot Pot Restaurant Chain Is Expanding to Allston | Eater Boston

"A hot pot chain that operates two nearby restaurants — one in Central Square, Cambridge, and another in Boston’s Chinatown — and is seeking to open a new Allston location at 130 Brighton Ave. pending transfer of the former occupant's food and alcohol license. The chain has been the subject of at least one federal complaint in which 14 current and former employees allege multiple labor violations, including wage theft, refusal to allow use of accrued sick time, exposure to potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals, retaliatory cuts to hours, and other claims; the company has formally denied all allegations in filings with the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts. No opening timeline has been announced for the Allston site." - Terrence Doyle
