Happy Lamb Hot Pot

Sister store to the one on Bellaire, but this location has a few more items that are not available at other Location. Service was excellent , with refills coming a few minutes after ordering even during peak lunch hours. This location also had a few more sauces that made it good. We ordered the premium dinner which had the absolute best of all their best cuts, and it did not disappoint. The braised slow cook oxtails were awesome , reminded me of soul food 😉. The drink selection is also better with a very addictive plum juice . Still a very good value for lunch even at today’s prices , the only downside to this location is maybe parking during peak hours, but besides that, it deserves a visit, especially for large parties.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and we are tired of leftovers, so me and my daughter went on a quest to find a restaurant with a soup that will make us feel like home, and granted we are not Asian we are Mexicans, but these hot pot place truly hit the spot! From the friendly staff to the amazing food! I love the fact that it’s a hot pot buffet restaurant, you choose your broth, I went with not spicy, and my daughter did spicy, and you can choose from a white selection of vegetables, seafood, greens, noodles, and you you get four meats at a time. Arby was so happy with the soup! We couldn’t ask for anything better! It’s very affordable and you get your money worth! Definitely coming back again!

Great place to eat hot pot. 🍲 Variety of meat, veggies, noddles, sauces and food. I highly recommended the Tsingtao beer and plum juice. The staff is attentive and friendly. If you wish the broth more spicy you can asked to the staff.

I had an amazing experience at Happy Lamb Hot Pot on Westheimer! The food was super fresh, and the broth was flavorful and rich. They have a great selection of meats, seafood, and veggies, and everything was high quality. The sauce bar had so many choices, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere for both groups and solo diners. Definitely one of the best hot pot spots in Houston

Price up and up. Meat not as fresh as before, a lot of freezes meat now.Remove the crab legs,remove 羊蝎子, remove free lamb legs(yes you have to pay extra fee now) will not come again. This is my last visit. 12/22/2025

2nd Visit: I still love the place. The food is still good. Still my favorite hotpot place. I am now rating the service from 5 to 4 stars because of the following; 1. I asked for half order of meat yet they give a full order. I verified it with the server and he said, that it was half order. I compared it with the picture i previously took and they have the same count, thus, not half. I did not make it a big deal and argue with him. However, i felt uncomfortable with his answer that it was half order. 2. I hope next time they set up the tables after being used, they do it with less noise and not in rush mode (there were no many people in there) - i personally find it distracting. 3. There were dead flies in the window. ****************************************** 1st Visit: I love the food. Lots of selections. I love the ambience of the restaurant. I like big plain windows. The restroom is clean, spacious. It has good lighting, music, and diaper changing board. I recommend this restaurant and i will surely return.

Absolutely delicious! The Mongolian hot pot was a flavorful and fun dining experience—fresh ingredients, rich broths, and a great mix of meats, veggies, and noodles. Perfect for sharing, highly recommend

This is our go to hot pot spot when we’re Houston! Food is always fresh and theres a variety of meat to choose from. Our favorite is the spicy broth and the all you can eat lamb and garlic beef yummy! The staff is always friendly and they keep the food rotating. I had to take a star off because of the restaurants recent appearance. We’ve been coming here about 2 years and this last visit I was surprised on how worn out all the furniture looked. Some of the chairs had big cracks in the leather and table had a little Wobble. I wouldn’t let this stop you from enjoying their Amazing food.

Very few AYCE hot pot establishments in Houston can offer the value that Happy Lamb does. At $22 a person during lunch (for this specific branch, arrive before 2pm), it doesn't get much better than this. The spicy marrow broth is my personal favorite, but not for the faint of heart. Spice-intolerant people beware. The tomato broth typically works for most people instead. You can also opt for 2 different broths split apart on the same community pot. I've never tried the tender chicken fillet, but the rest of the non-premium cuts taste satisfactory. Let's be real though -- when it comes to AYCE hot pot, is anyone looking out for top of the line quality? I like the marbled lamb the best. Marinated garlic beef also makes a decent choice for those that prefer something more lean. Lastly, the buffet area contains all the typical ingredients (enoki, bok choy, egg noodles, tofu, quail eggs etc). Similar to their Bellaire location, I have questionable sanitary concerns about the placement of community tongs in the frozen section. All of the tongs hang at pants level, directly in front of customers. Can't they find a place to hang them literally anywhere else? I'm sure any potential organisms are killed off when the ingredients get boiled in the hot pot, but still... it's so off putting. This is my only major complaint about this place. When I think of hot pot with great value, Happy Lamb is the first place that comes to mind. My friends and family have always received stand-up service whenever we visit. I've been nothing but happy to support this chain so far.

Always a great meal. I prefer to go at lunch time as there is usually no wait for a table (or finding parking).

Service is ok. But luckily most of it is self serve. Lots of hot pot options. Not tons of sauce selection. Has egg noodles and fried rice with some desserts. Wish there was more sauces to select from tho. Over still one of my favorite spots for hot pot. Clean. Fresh.

the last time I came , there were very few people , today at 1:40 PM still 3 parties ahead of us , better make waitlist ahead of time. The cleaning guy should spray less so it don'tdo on to other tables that's still eating !

This used to be our favorite place. Now they charge a hidden $2 base fee per person that's not included in the all-you-can-eat price and is printed in very small font on the table menu. You only notice it after sitting down--reading glasses definitely help.

I feel like this is a hotpot place that you really can't go wrong with. I love that it's a non-Bellaire option too. My group and I walked in on a weekday evening and were seated immediately. They're an AYCE hotpot restaurant priced at a similar point compared to other ayce hotpot places in Houston. My friends and I chose to have their premium menu that was ~ $30. The broths were flavorful and the meat options were solid. There's a bar area full of vegetables, sauces, dumplings, sauces and more. Service was pretty quick too.

Every break we get from life we drive 2 hours to eat here. So much food to chose from. It's super clean and great customer service.

Came here on a Saturday it was 60 bucks for two people AYCE style. There is a salad bar. You can also get noodles, sauces, and desserts in that area. Drinks our self serve at the fountain drink machine. The menu is a little small as far as the types of meats you can order. You can get up to 3 broths. If you get 2 broths, there is no additional fee but I think there is a fee if you get 3. The spicy broth wasn't very spicy to me but had really good flavor. The only thing I would also comment is that if it's your first time, I wish they would do an explanation. The place was very busy, it's good. The meat is good but obviously it's not seasoned since the broth is well seasoned. Overall good service, good vibes, good value.

Solid hot pot on this side of town. It's all you can eat with two different menu options, one with more premium meat options. I opted for the premium menu. It's cafeteria style where you can fill your plates with whatever veggies and carbs you want. The meats were plated very beautifully. Both soup bases were very flavorful though I will say the spicy broth wasn't very spicy... Overall, a good bang for your buck if you're craving hot pot and can't make it to Chinatown!

Food was great, but the service... not so much. One server kept rolling their eyes and acted super cold the whole time, which kind of killed the vibe. Aside from that, everything else was awesome. The lamb rolls were delicious, especially with the herbal-tasting broth -- it has this slight "medicine" flavor that actually feels really healthy and perfect for winter. If the spicy pot isn't spicy enough, just ask them to throw in more chili. The roasted lamb leg was the real star -- seriously amazing. I'd totally come back, not for the service, but for the food.

This place is pretty decent. The choices of meat are solid for any hot pot places but the choices of sides is amazing. I love that there is vegetables, eggs, and other side dishes. My friends and I looooves the fried chicken. 10/10 We came in on a Sunday so it was pretty busy but it seemed as they were short staff. Nevertheless they were pretty nice. It's a clean establishment and very well lit. It's a good spot to hang with friends for sure

I LOVE this place. I go here after work and go crazy with it. I love this place. never a wait and the food and service is AMAZING. AND CLEAN.

They've pared down their menu from the standard option. Value is no longer there, they should at least offer sliced beef and two standard lamb meats for the price point. Now the standard option only has one type of lamb. Shrinkflation happens as usual. Service is also a bit lacking... though the servers were nice and professional; it's just that we had to flag them down to bring meats as they didn't come and check in very often. Still a good spot go eat, but the cracks are starting to form.

If you haven't had hot pot, then this place is worth a try to have a taste of boiling your own meat Chinese style. We tried the lower cost ayce hot pot, was very good. For about $30 per person after tax, you can't go wrong with it. Decent choices for basic hot pot needs with their lower cost version. Free soft drinks, but wine and beer cost extra. Service is nice for a buffet, but you might need to get their attention if for example the Diet Coke is out. They also have fried chicken wings, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice/noodles for your "traditional" taste. Serving areas are fairly clean as well. The plates for the higher cost one looked better, aka the angus beef, so we might try that next time. Make sure to separate your utensils for raw things and cook your meat thoroughly.

Always a pleasure to eat at happy lamb.... It's my happy place lol but the Chicago locations where always good ( China town location is hit or miss on freshness and cleanliness) Veggies are always fresh, sauce bar is great, drinks included and dessert varies depending on location.

Meat selection was very limited. If you're not a fan of lamb, this is probably NOT the place to go. But if you are like me, and love lamb as well as beef, then welcome! I got their spicy soup and traditional soup. Both were a bit "medicine-y" in taste, but nice flavor once you get past that. And I got the top level spicy but didn't even get a tickle. Service was quick, although they put my food at the wrong table. Upside; there wasn't anyone sitting at the table next to me. So easy enough for them to move all over to my table. Nice selection of veggies and seafood. Even had a cooked food buffet. Your meal comes with a drink. They have a self serve soda fountain as well as a couple of iced teas to choose from. Saw ice cream, but it was dine in only. So couldn't take it to go with me back to work. So had to skip that.

This is a casual AYCE hotpot restaurant sort of near the Galleria area. We came by on a Friday afternoon and they have a... midday special on weekdays between 3-7pm where one full price AYCE meal gets a second one for 50% off and if you have 4 people, one meal is free. We went with the premium option which includes snow crab legs and this amazing crispy lamb shank. To me, the premium option was definitely worth the try just to get some of the nicer meats and that lamb shank. They also have a bunch of premade food options and a vegetable, seafood, and misc hotpot items bar as well. Service was the only mixed bag for me, while everyone was nice, ordering more of the meat options was not intuitive. I wasn't sure whether waiters came by to check on you or if you had to call them over. It seemed to be a mix of things but we weren't checked on very often so trying to get someone's atrention to order more meat was tricky.

We ate here first time! Enjoyed the hot pot idea and loved being able to choose the ingredients we wanted to place in our different broths. Staff checked on us and made sure we were having a great experience. Food choices were great and will go back sometime!

AYCE hotpot without going all the way to katy or bellaire! Found out if you go before 5PM on the weekends, they have happy hour prices -- 15% off. Drinks are included. Our favorite meat was the beef short plate. The bar was for the vegetables, seafood, noodles, and sauce. They also have premade hot food -- which was just ok. The fried peanuts was a nice surprise. The staff was very attentive and when they noticed we finished a plate of meat or near finished, would ask if we wanted more.

I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. Absolutely amazing experience! This hotpot buffet instantly became one of my favorite places to eat. The selection was insane -- fresh meats, veggies, seafood, noodles, and so many different broths to choose from. Everything tasted super fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The service was just as good. The staff kept checking in on us, refilling our broths, and making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere felt cozy but lively, perfect for hanging out with friends or family. And since it's all-you-can-eat, we definitely left full and happy. For the price, it's honestly a steal. If you love hotpot or want to try something new, this place is a MUST. Highly recommend!

Best hot pot, me and my family come here every week, very good price,nice and clean restaurant. Spicy broth is must try

Went to happy lamb hotpot in Houston at their westheimer location. I went to their location on westheimer, which looked a little nicer than their bellaire location. I was seated immediately and chose their classic dinner all you can eat meal. Dinner is only $5 more than lunch and the meats available are the same, so I definitely recommend coming for lunch if you can. You can also upgrade to their premium meal for better quality meals, or get their Kobe beef or lamb shank as a la carte. I got the best of both worlds broth, meaning you can choose any 2 broths. I got the spicy marrow broth and the golden cabbage marrow broth. There's a self serve drink station where you can get various sodas and teas. They also have a self serve sauce bar station to make your own dipping sauce. There's a hot bar station and I tried a little of everything. They had fried rice, chicken pasta, sweet and sour chicken, eggrolls, sesame balls, and chicken wings. None of it was memorable except for the chicken wings. The wings were actually SOO GOOD surprisingly for an all you can eat place. The skin was so crispy and there is a ton of meat which was tender and juicy. They had a simple flavor but were not bland at all. The wings would empty out quickly as many ppl grabbed them, but they were periodically bringing out fresh batches. For hotpot, they have a veggie, seafood, and assorted hotpot item station where you can choose what you want to add to your broth. My favorites were the fish roe filled fish balls, meat filled fish balls, quail eggs, enoki mushrooms, and noodles. For meat, I tried the lamb, beef short plate, garlic marinated beef, and pork belly. My favorite meats were the pork belly and beef short plate. They also have a dessert station but I didn't touch it, I indulged in their freezer full of icecream, a much needed sweet treat after the meal. I had a pretty good experience here but if I'm being honest, my favorite thing I had here were their chicken wings

First visit , the service here was top tier. They suggest I get the Mongolian hotpot which I'm glad they suggested because spicy bone marrow had wayyyy too much coriander for my taste. But the other one was very good. (for those who don't know coriander is a spice and it's how they make the broth) also I was actually surprised there chicken wings were very good and crispy. Over all the restaurant was clean and they were on top of clearing plates off tables. Definitely going to bring my family here next time .

Sigh I came here for lunch. This place used to be good and had a lot of variety in seafood and non-seafood (e.g., tofu-related items). The options, however, were very limited this time, and it looks like they got rid of a lot of the vegetarian protein options they used to have (which were my favorite) If you want to eat just meat... It's fine here, but if you want the variety, I would skip this place.

I have not been to happy Lamb hot pot for a while. They just up to date their menu. Several items added for example shrimp balls and snow crab legs. I always order premium all you can eat which I can choose the best three broth Service was Okey. Meat was decent. I love that they have more variety of food that include hot cook food, dessert and soft dring. Selection at the sauce bar was big but mostly was so oily for example chili in oil or even garlic still in oil.

Great place for family, my kids love to come here for hot pot. Tom Yum broth is the best, Clean place and nice place. large option of meats selection plus nice and quick service. Not surprise they are always busy.

It was a great experience; our first time at a hot pot. The food was plentiful and the broths were so flavorful and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and took the time to answer our questions, which was appreciated. Their buffet section had many different veggies and noodles to choose from. There were also hot items and desserts. The fried chicken was oh so yummy. It's not the type of place I would visit frequently, but I did enjoy my experience. Definitely worth a try and for sure family friendly!

Workers were nice, the food was good, everything was going good until, I found a little friend in my fish.

i like this place alot! good food and nice servers, fonky music but its fun haha i like it nice joint

Best location. There are so many options and the staff is so noice. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there is this super irritating buzzing noise that they have at this location from one of their machines/lights? They haven't fixed and it's been going on for a few years. Honestly I just go in with ear buds

Loveeee the hot pot they have here, i do recommend joining the waitlist if ur like 3 minutes away because it gets super packed quickly

Great experience, as a old supporter of this restaurant since their grand opening they have never dissapointed us with the quality of the meat and the service. Me and my family have a great time everytime at lunch, even though they're so busy they still get the quality service out.

So glad we found this place! My boyfriend and I live in Midtown and all the good hot pot places are all the way in Bellaire!!! I am SO glad Happy Lamb Hot Pot is in Galleria. The pricing is great, selection is essentially an AYCE where you can control your own portions (for veggies, seafood, and sides), and you can do half half on the broth as a part of your AYCE piece. We went to another AYCE hot pot place that had us pay extra for broth and then an even higher extra price to do half half so this was a much better option. Decent meat selection - beef, lamb, pork, etc with other premium selections for an added cost. With the AYCE, they also have buffet style sides such as rice and chicken. They also had plum juice, lemon juice, soda, and ICE CREAM!! Their veggie and seafood selection was pretty expansive (based on my experience) and their sauce bar was well kept compared to other places I've been to. It was pretty crowded the day we went, but no wait so overall a very pleasant experience! Service was excellent and parking was easy too. Would return!

Going again for my birthday. Staff was chill basically it's just a chill and calm vibe all around

I'm obsessed with this place. The spicy broth is so flavorful and just out of this world. I can't get enough of it. Will be back soon!!

The perfect spot to warm up during the winter freeze! My partner and I came here (cautiously in the freezing temperatures during the freeze) to find a nearby hot pot place. This is close enough for us in the heights (located just west of the galleria) that it didn't feel like too long of a drive. It's buffet style where you pay a very reasonable fee for endless meat and buffet options. There's a deluxe meat package and a regular meat package, we elected for regular as we didn't feel boujee enough for wagu beef. They bring 3 meats at a time, and that was PLENTY for us. You also pick your broth, we opted for the classic half savory half spicey. We then had free range to get noodles, veggies, dumplings and all the addins. The noodles all tasted delicious, the glass noodles started to break down after a bit but the rest were great. The dumplings were really delicious especially the lamb ones. And the meat was all fantastic, the garlic beef and the round eye cuts all cooked and tasted so delicious in the spicy broth. The spiciness level was just right. My favorite was the custom sauce station - my mix of garlic, sesame, soy sauce, and tahini was the perfect addition to spicy broth cooked meat. We left so stuffed we had to sit for a bit prior to treking out into the ice. We will HAPPILY be coming back here soon.

Good all you can eat hotpot. The hotpot is a center one that is shared between the entire party. Has a lot of different options for protein and many prepared ones such as fish balls, quail eggs, and meat balls at their bar. A couple appetizer bar items and an option for 2 or 3 broth types in the middle pot. Good service as well while I was there waiting out a storm. Drinks were from the fountain located at a bar. The place was clean and the interior was modern.

This is one of the few restaurant where you would feel like worth the visit.. Yes, the food along with the service is excellent!!! Our server was Bentley, who was simply amazing! Was very attentive and provided great service! Other staff will come on and check with us to make sure the hot pot temps are okay or if we need of anything. If any item that was not available on the appetizer, would quickly have it replenished!!! There's even a promotion goin on after 3pm... I would have to rate 5 stars.. for Great service, cleanliness and fresh food!

The food was amazing! There wasn't as many options, compared to other places. But what was offered was fresh and delicious. The place was clean and beautiful. & the service was amazing.

Been going here for quite some time and I love the variety as well as the two sided hotpot. I have an allergy and usually my date loves seafood. Try going during the week though for lunch because the weekend is packed.

Honestly, one of my favorite hot pot places! This spot has quickly become my go-to for AYCE hot pot, and it never disappoints! The location is super convenient, making it easy to pop in whenever the craving hits--and the best part? I've almost never had to wait long for a table, even when it's busy. I'm obsessed with the fresh crab here, but there's so much more to explore! They have everything: noodles, perfectly tender lamb shank, juicy wings, pickled veggies, a huge selection of meatballs, and tons of seafood and vegetables. It's like a hot pot lover's dream come true! And I have to mention the broths. They're always so consistent and packed with flavor, but the golden sauerkraut one is hands-down my favorite. It has this tangy, savory depth that makes every bite more addictive than the last--I seriously could eat it all day! To top it all off, they serve ice cream at the end, which is the perfect sweet finish to such a hearty meal. If you're into hot pot (or even if you're just hot-pot curious!), this place is a must-try.

I am generally on the fence about Hot Pot - not sure if I truly enjoy it as a meal or not. Regardless, Happy Lamb is a nice option with spacious tables, well-stocked buffet style offering, and attentive staff. We opt for the half-and-half option so everyone at the table can mix and match their spice level. The restaurant itself is clean an there is a 2 hour time limit, which is completely ample. Parking: plenty of parking as HLHP is located in a strip center

One of my favorite places for hotpot! I prefer this location over the Chinatown location. This location is clean and spacious. My favorite broth is the spicy broth, it is the perfect amount of spice to enjoy your meal. Plenty of vegetables and other hotpot items. The staff here are kind and brings out your meat quickly. Only downside is sometimes they have enoki mushrooms and sometimes they don't.

Went with family for hotpot for lunch. Went with premium but they were out of wagyu but got charged the premium price. Overall staff is efficient and food was good.

Came by for hot pot on Saturday! They had lot of options to choose from, loved the bases as well. Place got quite packed by 1pm. Solid spot if you're craving hot pot.

I like the concept of the buffet bar, lots of choice especially my favorite seafoods. Nice service, Half and half pot is my favorite also

My friend and I come here at least once a week. Food never misses, the people are super nice and friendly. The vibes are great. Love it!

Houston showed up for my friend and I who haven't seen each other for a while. Happy Lamb Hot Pot is no ordinary hot pot I try to stay away from. Their selections from vegetables, to seafood, to dumplings, to the thin sliced different meats, the soup base, the cooked food section, and the deserts exceeded my expectations. Fresh, no aftertaste---just delicious food and a great place and time to be catching up. Service was on point. Very cheerful but professional, staff I almost assume they all own the place. Cleaaaaaan and no funny smell. I was raving about the quality and the price was affordable. Sweet surprise on the quality of food and affordability we hardly find anymore!!! I'm a food lover and I can stay healthy coming here! (Tom yum was my favorite soup base-you got to try it!)
