Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Beaverton

"Sharing the same strip mall that used to house Jin Wah, Happy Lamb Hotpot is the first Oregon outpost of a Chinese hot pot chain. The restaurant is big — 210-seats big — and modern. Diners can go a la carte or all-you-can-eat, and just need to fill out a card with what they want to dip into the bubbling broth. The yin-yang soup base is exemplary, with one side chile-oil-fiery, the other mild and milky, spiked with goji berries and jujubes." - Krista Garcia, Janey Wong

"This Beaverton location of the popular chain specializes in Mongolian-style hot pot, in which groups dunk slices of lamb, rib-eye, and wagyu beef into pots of broth. It’s best to get the restaurant’s split broth pot, with a bone marrow broth fragrant with alliums and cardamom as well as a Sichuan-spiced broth. It’s a fun, interactive option, but be forewarned: Waits can get lengthy on the weekends." - Michelle Lopez, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"The Beaverton location of this Mongolian chain is likely one of the more expensive hot pot options in town, though the extensive buffet, range of broth options, built-in burners, and premium fillings easily explain the price tag. The golden cabbage marrow broth has a nice balance of heat and tang to it, though many seek out Happy Lamb for its distinctive tomato broth. The all-you-can-eat option is the move, though customers can also order fun options like house cilantro-beef meatballs, lamb belly, wagyu beef, and tiger prawns. Definitely spring for the added buffet-style sauce bar, which also includes desserts and appetizers." - Eater Staff
