Happy Lamb is the best hot pot place in Boston! This new one in Allston did not disappoint. Great ambience, spacious and very clean feel. It does make a difference - enhances the experience.
That said, the quality of a hot pot restaurant is definitely judged by the broth and freshness of the ingredients.
We tried the sour cabbage broth + original half/half because we usually get the spicy one and this broth did NOT disappoint. The broth got tastier over time.
There is an all-you-can eat meat special but that wasn't for us because we usually prefer having more vegetables.
Tip: get the tong hu, meatballs, frozen tofu and Napa cabbage!
