AYCE Hot Pot for $24.95 😋 Happy Lamb Hot Pot is a Mongolian hot pot spot in Flushing that serves delicious broths, meats, seafood, vegetables, sauces & other options to choose from! Their AYCE lunch special from 12pm-3pm is $24.95! This deal includes: Choice of any broth Unlimited hot pot meat Unlimited buffet access Unlimited sauce & cold bar Unlimited Soda Refills I’ve been wanting to try hot pot for the longest time but I just never get around to it but I finally did! This was a steal deal & such a great experience! The best of both worlds broth was the best! Loved the house special meat selection! You can upgrade to Premium VIP meat selection for a few more bucks! Spacious & clean atmosphere & the service is attentive! Great mix of quality & affordability.

We did the VIP experience because it was our first time there but next time we will go with the standard because the quality of their buffet items were fantastic! Been to many hot pots before but this is definitely my new favorite for a great mix of quality & affordability. Glad everyone else has given such detailed reviews! Also drinks were as cheap as you can get in this city.

After a month of hard work, my team and I decided to unwind at Happy Lamb Shabu Shabu in Flushing. It was the perfect choice! The cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service made our evening truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience!

Their lunch buffet is sooooo worth it. AYCE for under 30 bucks. I love all their meat they were very tasty and the soup is fresh. Don’t recommend the seafood tho they were kinda mid

Love the interior space, well lit! Liked the concept of self serve for veggie and noodles. The meat wasn’t as fresh or high quality as other nearby hotpot spots though. Recommend the tomato base!

Great price for weekday ayce hot pot! Great selection of veggies and noodles. Also interesting selection of seafood and some cow internals. Typical sauce station but nice option for open access to fountain drinks.

The food was good. The staff was friendly and attentive. The price was a bit high. I paid $39.14 with tax for the VIP selection. Soda was include which is unusual for an all you can eat. I got the combo hot pot. The spicy side was easy too much for me. If you like spicy, I'm sure you will enjoy this. I felt rushed with the 90 minute limit and afraid that if I did not like some food I was trying out, I would get charged the $35 fee. For this I had to take a star off. But, I will be back.

Decent price! Went with the middle option to get unlimited meat slices! Lots of options for veggies and sides. Even includes a small selection of cooked sides. Drinks are included as well from normal fountain drinks to specialty soft drinks. There is 1 and half hour time limit and your whole party must be here before they seat you. Also the entire party must choose the same AYCE option.

Amazed by this place! I knew of this hotpot place as it's been opened for a while now but did not try till now since there's so many hotpot places in downtown flushing. They have diff sets of AYCE, from $21.99 weekdays for vegetables, sidebar and drinks, to $25.99 weekdays to include meat. These are their discounted promotion prices, which is a great price already. There's an additional promotion of $20.99 for those ages 55+ (bring your id). They had a variety of meat selection, but was blown away by how much variety the side bar/vegetables had. They had a range of fishballs (beef ones always the best!), tripe, tofu, fish, noodles, mushrooms, a good amount of varied greens, some fried food, and a little desserts. We went in on a weekday at 12:45pm and were seated quickly. Service was also quick as you only order meats and alcoholic drinks through them. It seemed like everyone spoke mandarin, but unsure since I didn't try English there at the time. Place is also very clean and new considering it's been opened for a while now. It's super spacious with numerous tables of ~4ppl a table. Note that you can set the level of heat of the hotpot at the side of the table towards the hall. All the vegetables and meat cuts were great except what I'm assuming to be beef. I know there are fatty beef but this one was like 80-90% fat, in which the English menu doesn't list it to be fatty beef as well. Their desserts also seem to be lacking. The coffee sponge cake is pretty safe if you do want something sweet tho. But overall, everything else was amazing in my opinion!!

I owe this place a 5 stars review! This is an all you can eat hotpot place where they are not cheap to give you your meat order. If you order meat, they give you a decent amount of meat and the waitress are super friendly and would offer you more if they see you finish your meat. This is my go to hot pot place... yes I go to this place at least once a month. But one boo about this place is when you leave the restaurant you smell bad due to the broth, but it worth it.

This review is for weekend dinner. Overall this is a solid option for hot pot. I came here on a whim because the spot I originally wanted to go to had a 3+ hour wait. I walked in with a party of 6 around 6:20pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately. However by 8pm there was quite a long line of people waiting for tables. I'd recommend getting here before 7pm to avoid a wait. This is AYCE. You can pay extra to order from the "VIP menu" - I recommend because you get wagyu, fish ball roe, among other things. You get the table for 90 tables and it actually is plenty of time. Aside from the VIP menu, all other toppings are self serve. They have a good selection of veggies, meatballs, noodles and they have a sauce bar. Soup bowls are for the table, not individual, but you can split and do half and half. Meal comes with soft serve ice cream.

Came here on NYE and I have to say I think I found a new favorite hot pot place! First thing is make sure to put down you name on the ipad for waitlist. We waited a bit but totally worth it. They offer 3 different AYCE options and we did the house special at 27.99/person. Love how the tables are set up, clean and sleek design. They also put up partitions when sharing the larger tables. Our table of 5 had 2 pots and we were able to cook our food easily. The spicy soup base was really spicy but so tasty. You order your meat options with the waiter and they bring it. Choices were plentiful and waiters were quick to bring refills. You can pick you own veggies and fish balls that is laid out in the back of the restaurant. This place also have hot appetizers you can get like dumplings and small fried sesame balls. Great option if you are starving and can't wait for the broth to boil. Definitely give this place a try!

Food is always good here. We always have an amazing experience. You can never leave hungry, if you do, you did something wrong. Sometimes their bubble tea machines are on, sometimes they are off. Their dinner desserts are always different. When we went, they had steamed taro buns, mango mousse, edamame and fried chips. Staff is attentive and busy at all times. This is our favorite ayce hot pot buffet! We don't go anywhere else.

Worst customer service. First the guy staff told us to wait and he's going to look for a table then the girl staff put up the iPad and the guy totally ignored us and I had to ask him again and he's said I have to put down my name on the waitlist. We waited for almost 20 mins watching all the people come after us get seated and as people came In they sat them at the table. I had to ask once again and the lady said there was an issue with the wait list and told me I had to put my name down once again. They told me there were no seats for 3 people but they sat party of 4s. And eventually they gave us a table because we were going to leave but it was a table for 4 they just removed one seat... with a toddler I would've preferred a booth because it's easier to manage them in a enclosed space than a regular chair. We had the premium bbq with the meat but the meat wasn't that fresh as there was browning on the edges. There is a good selection of veggie, noodles and raw food in the back. The hot food was mediocre. They had fried rice, onion rings, garlic bread and fried dough. They had grapes and cantaloupe as well. We didn't try the dessert at all. Soda was included with the meal but they needed to refill as syrup was running out. They have the standard sauces. Nothing really different except the Thai chili.

Returned to this newly renovated Happy Lamb. Everything is AYCE with different prices setting. It s very much affordable compared to other hotpot nearby. However, the food selection is slightly limited. Love the soup broth, not too spicy; service is friendly and attentive. Long line in the weekend so advise to come 15-20mins prior for reservation.

Loove this place. No reservation for less than 5 people, but wasnt that hard to get a table even on a saturday night. I got the House Special, and it's worthed, totally! The price includes unlimited meat for 1.5 hours. Very good service. Man, what else are you asking for. Recommended and will come back!

My favorite go to hotpot ayce place. Very simple and straightforward. Sometimes the staffs aren't very nice but it's understandable considering this place is almost always busy. The fatty beef can be hit or miss with excessive fat sometimes. But you can always ask them to switch the plate if you haven't touched it yet.

Love everything about this place, the food, service and ambiance everything is top notch The quality of the food is always exceptional, they have clean and well maintained surfaces, the buffet area is always clean and replenished which is especially impressive knowing how busy this place always is. The service is always good as well, a bit hard to expect from Asian owned restaurants. We've been coming here for the past 7 years

Dinner for 2 on Saturday. I love the interior decor and it would've been nice to sit in the booths but alas, we got a small table in the back corner. Service was relatively attentive, but it was a busy night and we had to flag someone down a few times. You can't beat the price $35 pp for a VIP AYCE hotpot. I do wish there were more pre-made sauce options, such as a house sauce for people like me who are challenged mixing my own sauce. The quality of the meats were great and the options were plentiful. I had never been to a place that has all the veggies, noodles, and other options in a buffet-style area to CYO versus having to order through a server. That was nice but also requires you to get up quite often. You'll also want to note that your coat, clothes, hair etc. will smell while upon leaving.

Great selection of meats and broth for the perfect hotpot meal. When choosing what to put in your hotpot, all you can eat aficionados will say stock up on the meat. But almost all the selections from Happy Lamb Hot Pot are tasty, including the meat filled fishballs, bok choy, sausages, and crab meat. One would think crab meat shouldn't be part of this list, but the broth here is just that good. Almost anything mid is transformed into a savory and spicy filled punch of flavor. Seating times are reasonable with a reservation. The staff is acceptably responsive though you do have to flag them down, but the toughest problem is probably the small table sizes. There isn't enough room for the pot, uncooked and cooked foods. The staff will provide a cart on the side of your table to hold your order, but the cart gets in both your way as well as the servers. Very awkward.

Delicious ayce hot pot known for their lamb meat (which is halal, by the way!) at a reasonable price. The interior is large, spacious, and clean. We walked in on a saturday afternoon with plenty of seating available. They have a salad bar with several appetizers/fruits and a diy sauce bar that are included in the ayce price. Raw buffet offered extensive options, waiters came by often to refill the soup, and overall we had a very easy dining experience. Food was great, would def return!

When it gets cold outside, it's Hot Pot time! Wasn't this called Little Sheep or was that the one on Main St? Anyway, Happy Lamb makes me a happy camper! Their pricing though is a little confusing because they have different levels of food (meat) grade levels and they have discounts and specials for different days of the week in trying to attract more business on off days. Of course, it's also never crowded during the week. We usually go for the $32.95 House Special All-You-Can-Eat option and it's discounted to $26.95 on weekdays. You can pay a little extra for the premium meats, but the regular selection is just fine with us. My wife works down the street a couple of days and I'm happy to grab dinner here. If I get to Flushing at 6:30pm, it's just $0.75 to park for another 30 minutes on Northern Blvd and it's free after 7pm. Hot Pot is a communal thing that I've missed since Covid. The 2-4 seat booths have a single induction pad and the 6-8 persons have 2 for your pot. The power controller is at the end of the table below the edge. Order your favorite type of broth and there are hybrid spicy/non-spicy choices with a partitioned pot if people at the table have different tastes. The thinly sliced meats are also AYCE with the mid-level and your opening order of those with your broth as well. Then it's off to the vegetable, mushroom, seafood, noodles and fish/meat balls bar to get some staple hot pot items. They even have these faux reconstituted fish molded into the shape of lobster claw meat! There are also some cooked food like spring rolls, dumplings, tea eggs and sometimes even onion rings & french fries for the kids but try not to fill up on those. I also see from pictures that they roll out some unique foods on the weekends. Get your own drinks from the fountain soda dispenser and make your secret dipping sauce mix from the sauce bar and you are ready to cook & eat. We order a variety of meats: beef, lamb, chicken & pork. They are frozen and sliced to just barely a millimeter thick in order to cook fast in the boiling broth. My wife doesn't like the gamey flavor of lamb, so she makes us cook on the opposite side of the pot. The broth imparts some flavor but I use my dipping sauce on just about everything. Most of the food you know is ready to eat when it floats to the top like the fish balls and mushrooms, but you have to go fishing in the depths for meat, vegetables and noodles. The more food you cook, the more flavor goes into the broth and the staff will come to refill your pot as it evaporates, concentrating the flavor. By the end of the meal, the soup has some serious flavor and I'll ladle some out to taste. If you have room for dessert, there are a few items, but I'll usually go for a few more fish balls or maybe a corn on the cob.

We visited on a Sunday night around 8:30 and only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all considering how packed and lively the place was. It's a popular spot with three all-you-can-eat (AYCE) tiers, and we chose the middle one. We shared the spicy pot and tomato pot, both of which were delicious. What really surprised me was the wide selection of intestines--they had so many options! I also loved the spicy oil at the sauce bar, which was incredibly flavorful. The service was great, with the staff coming by at just the right times to take more meat orders and clear empty plates. I'd definitely come back!

Price went up since last visit 30 days ago. It used to be all day all night everyday weekday and weekends same price for House special AYCE $24.95 ( the most popular choice). Now it's $26.95 weekday and $28.95 weekends. We took advantage of the discount parking today. It's reasonable and convenient. It's within 5-8 min walk. Food and service was still very good.

Really enjoyed our big family hot pot experience at happy lamb. We just finished a scalp spa and it was perfectly within walking distance. There's a large selection of veggie and meat options for your pot, and a wide variety of sauces to alchemize your perfect dipping sauce or soup add. We were a big party with lots of extra clothes and bags, so we loved that there was a secret compartment under the benches to store our belongings. Kept our things smell free! We were also pleasantly surprised by all of the really yummy tea options. The staff were also very attentive and made sure our soups were constantly full. Definitely recommend for the wide selection of foods, sauces, teas, and not to mention very clean decor.

I love this hot pot place! There is a wide variety of meats and vegetables and even dessert. It is so worth it. The staff is so friendly and their service is so fast. I love coming here when I'm craving hotpot. The ambiance is so cozy and I could stay here for hours!

This Hot Pot spot is one me and my friends find ourselves coming back to again and again. You get a lot for your money with their current AYCE pricing. The House Special tier is the one we go with and it seems to give you the most bang for your buck. (There really seems to be ongoing hot pot wars with so many great options in the area.) Their veges, noodles and sauces are fresh and refilled constantly. They are quick to bring out plates of meat that you order - I prefer the garlic beef and of course, the lamb. My favorite soup to order is the golden cabbage marrow broth which has a great spicy and sour flavor when I get this I find myself hardly using the sauces because the soup already adds great flavor to the ingredients. I am really into their freshly made lamb dumplings and I eat so many that they put me over the top. They have refillable soda station that is included in the price and few little dessert options that share the sauce area. I up-starred from a 4.5 because even though its not perfect its a place I find myself coming to frequently and enjoying. Seeing how it tends to be crowded most times we come here I believe most other people feel the same way.

I've been to a couple Happy Lamb hotpots in the Cambridge/Boston area in MA. This Happy Lamb falls a bit short in comparison to some of its other locations but still an amazing place to get hotpot with family and friends. I'm disappointed this location didn't have the curry soup base which is available at some happy lamb locations! I also feel like they lacked enough noodle options. As for the ambiance, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful and extremely cozy. We came in at 4pm on a Sunday and we were seated relatively quickly. We got the spicy soup, the regular soup, and the tomato soup, all tasted great. Overall, an excellent place to get hotpot in NYC!

The front staff was quite professional and helpful. On this Thanksgiving night, it was especially busy. Other hosts could have been stressed to the point of being curt to hungry customers waiting to eat, but the two I interacted with had patience and an easy tone. The all you can eat meal was also very good for the price. I highly recommend this place. There are many other options but this is a good value.

Nice place and food in a cold day. The buffet style provide you with ease of what to choose and what not to. The premium buffet package give you more options in more meats and veggie. It gets crowded sometime but understandable.

Yumm! Great value for AYCE hotpot. While the base price only gets you the buffet (which includes veggies, noodles & seafood), for 1 dollar more you can get meat! IMHO, hot pot is not hot pot without meat. All the meat options were great, but the lamb was the star (hence, the name). The mala broth was outstanding and probably the most flavorful I've ever had! We felt a bit rushed as we arrived late and they were closing at 9:30, but ultimately had plenty of time to enjoy. Cool setup and aesthetic, pretty clean considering it's a buffet with lots of people.

Party size: 4 Cost: $27/head before tip Food: 5/5 Their spicy broth is very flavorful and they had a wide variety to choose from. Service: 4.5/5 Very nice people working here, I just think the food could've arrived a teensy bit faster. Ambiance: 5/5 Standard hotpot restaurant layout. Cost for worth: 5/5 At $27 a head, this is the BEST deal for AYCE hotpot that I've seen yet.

I love this place most of the time. The food is self serve and the broth is really nice, however charging 2 dollars for enoki mushrooms now, is absolutely ridiculous. I paid for an all you can eat buffet, however out of everything, enoki mushrooms aren't included? The service is normally pretty nice and okay however the wait time was horrible. I queued up first, they came after and submitted a waitlist number. They had a bigger family and took two tables however they got sat first. I didn't speak mandarin like them and the staff. Feeling very discriminated against and it was a 1 hr wait when they said 45 and when i asked, they brushed me off. Disappointed. Loved this place.

Decided to try this spot out on a random sunday night. Was really surprised that there was no wait around 6pm and we got seated immediately. There was plenty of seating and this would be a good place for date night or a big group setting. We went with the house special and we were highly satisfied for the price. AYCE for 90 min. The bone marrow broth was really flavorful. The garlic beef was the highlight in the meat selections. There was plenty of veggies, noodles and sides as well. Def will come back again.

The Spicy cabbage soup is FIRE! Great meat quality, fresh ingredients, affordable and delicious. Great spot for AYCE hot pot

Happy Lamb is a fantastic chain for all you can eat hot pot! They have many locations, but this one has some of the best selection of items that I've seen. There are three AYCE options to order: vegetarian, with meat, and with premium meats and additional items. I typically get the normal meats option. At $30pp (currently $25pp for their anniversary special), it's an absolute steal! The vegetarian option still includes seafood, fish balls, and different cuts of animal innards as options from the hotpot bar. The selection of options is really expansive for the veggie and seafood, and even the sauce bar as well. The restaurant is cozy and cleanly decorated, with plenty of seating. Wait time usually isn't too bad, maybe 20-30 minutes at peak, and you can get on the line through the electronic sign up at the door. The servers are also appropriately attentive and come by to refill or check on your meat ordering needs whenever you start to run low. Definitely a place I will return to often!

Great service and good food! The service was nicer than what you'd normally get in Flushing, and the hostess made it easy for us to understand the AYCE options and got us seated very quickly. We got the two broth flavors with lamb and both types of beef. Firstly, the sauce bar was kind of sad. It didn't have that many options as I had hoped for, and the same goes for the small plates. There was a bit more variety when it came to the actual hot pot add-ins, including many types of seafood like clams. Overall, the area was not very clean and a bit hectic at times, with water/drinks spilling on the floor frequently and making the floor gross. The meat quality was pretty good and definitely worth it if you're going in really hungry. They have it much cheaper in the summer because no one is crazy enough to eat boiling hot pot in the scouring 80+ degree heat (except for me).

Service: 10/10 All you can eat meant and self serving veggies and other types of food. Self serving veggies is probably my favorite part. It's always harder to get veggies at other AYCE place. The waiter is also response even though this is a huge place Food: 10/10 Tasty and not oily. A lot of the hotpot places especially in the city are super oily. It just makes you feel somewhere uncomfortable the next day. I haven't had any problems at this place Ambiance 10/10 A well lite and designed place. Even though this is a hotpot place, it doesn't have a heavy smoky and oily smell either. 10/10 would come back

We got the lunch time special promotion which was $25 per person ayce. I thought the cuts and the sides were really good for the price. There were enough options to be satisfied and the service was phenomenal. They checked up on us frequently. The only inconvenient may be having to call a server to order more meat. The sauce bar wasn't bad either and overall definitely worth the price. There were a lot of other people eating there and you can definitely fit a big party. Definitely a hotpot place to check out that is sub $30.

Hot pot is so much fun and this is a very efficient and clean option. It's all you can eat and they've added three levels since the last time I came: vegetarian, regular meat, premium meats. The entire table has to pay for the same level so vegetarians will pay more if they're dining with meat eaters. The waiters are polite and efficient, no nonsense which is great at an all you can eat timed (90 min) buffet. No timer to waste. You order your meats from the waiter and the rest you collect from the open areas. There is a streaming pot in the middle of your table. You cook your food in broth of choice and create your custom sauces. I love making my own spicy peanut noodles fresh out of the pot and right into my custom sauce.

Was there on a Sunday night, about a 20 min wait time. I remembered going there a few years ago, and it was good. Since now it's a AYCE hot pot we wanted to try again. There are three prices to choose from. We chose the VIP. It came with more meat selections and unlimited drinks (juice and soda). We got two different broth, bone and pickled. Both was very tasty. The meats were very good as well. The buffet section had plenty of choices veggies, balls, tofu and noodles. The restaurant was set up very nice. Would definitely come back.

Everything was on point. Clean restroom with quiet toilet. Floor in restroom might be slippery to some shoes.

We recently went for the AYCE lunch special without meat for 21 dollars, and wow! It was a bang for our buck! Everything's pretty much included besides the premium meats. There were drinks, desserts, fruits, and so many toppings and sauce options. There were some fried food options as well. We chose the tomato broth, it was super yummy! The restaurant super clean, modern, and they have an abundance of toppings and keep everything pretty stocked. The staff is nice, and are super quick! I'll be coming by again, that's for sure!

Always consistently delicious. Meat quality and offerings are unmatched quality for price. Got premium meats.

Loved it! Good hot pot selections! And lots of fish!! The soup base was wonderful makes everything you cook in it flavorful

I love the selection / option they have here for hotpot. There are additional sides; such as appetizers, drinks and desserts. It is affordable, the servers attend to you and try to accommodate with whatever you need. It is half self service, which means you can choose what you want.

It's convenient they have a parking lot across the street and I think if you spend a certain amount they reimburse for the parking. Good quality and choice of broth but I wish they had more variety of veggies and stuff. Will come again.

Was not a huge fan of this hot pot place... My boyfriend and I decided to come here after the wait at two other hotpot places nearby were too long. We got the House special AYCE which was $29. They have a cheaper option which doesn't include unlimited hot pot meat for $24. All of their non meat options are "buffet style" where you grab a plate and take what you want. The sacha sauce at the sauce bar was bad. This is the base of my sauce, so I couldn't get it right. Having the right sauce at hotpot is top 2 requirements of having a good hotpot experience IMO. (Second is having good quality beef brisket) The pork broth was decent too but the tomato broth was lackluster. In terms of service, when we sat down, we had like 10 seconds to pick a broth and then the waiter took the menu away. I didn't even get to look at the other beverages that were offered! With all the good hotpot options around, I wouldn't come back here. Oh they do offer parking if you spend over $50.

The wait was really long even though we reserved ahead of time. Overall, we waited about another 20 mins because the table before us was still finishing up paying. There were cool broths to choose from, lots of premium meats and everything else is for yourself to pick up. There was a spread of veggies, fish balls, seafood, cooked food, drinks, and snacks (AYCE) all over towards the back for you to choose. It was a slight hassle to go back and forth, but 2 hands is better than 1! Service wasn't the best, the staff wasn't really attentive to us. They only refilled our soup 2x in a 1.5 hour seating. I'm not sure if this is my favorite hot pot spot but it's my first time trying happy lamb.

After a month of hard work, my team and I decided to unwind at Happy Lamb Shabu Shabu in Flushing. It was the perfect choice! The cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service made our evening truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience!

1st time here & I haven't had hotpot in yrs, so I was excited. I heard the broth is amazing. It is pretty good. I got non-spicy, veggie broth. Price was 26/person if you get non-meat (but you can get seafood). They charge a 30-something excessive food waste fee if you leave too much food behind so, try to finish everything. It's better to get less & get up multiple times than eat with your eyes & pile too much food that you can't finish. We were able to finish so all was good. Anyway, the only thing that bothered me was that they take away the plates on the side as soon as they're empty. I would've appreciated if they asked before taking the plates cuz I had to get up to get another one cuz I was actually using the plate. For the food, it's buffet style like Spring Shabu-Shabu. There's so many veggie, noodles, tofu & seafood options. I do wish the shrimp was peeled tho. Peeling cooked shrimp is annoying. They even have eggs, fries & onion rings. They have a variety of sauces as well. I recommend not getting too much sauce since it tends to get wasted. Food is pretty good. They also provide dessert at the sauce table at the end. They had a few types of cake, tastes like the cake mix boxes from groceries.

Kudos to Happy Lamb for hosting our extremely large and loud crew of coworkers. Word to the wise, get two bowls for a large table and split the spicy and regular broths between friends. It will take friendly fire to the next level. Also, take a tour of their sauce station. I prefer to mix some sesame and garlic, with a hint of chili oil to dip the savory proteins.

Amazing price for and AYCE hot pot and there were lots of selections for stuff to put in the hotpot. Service was great but you can't split the bill by person so watch out for that. My friends and I were seated at a booth which worked out perfectly.

So if you're around my age (25) and you've seen spongebob where that one guy eats the jellyfish jelly patty and starts singing about it that was me after this happy lamb experience. The redemption arc. The broth didn't taste like dish soap!! So lets get into the review. So I went there at their opening time on a Wednesday just myself mind you. The service was prompt and they got me and the other patrons seated immediately. The menu was easy to understand and I chose the more expensive of the all you can eat options. The buffet was clean and the utensils were properly looked after to make sure most of the foods avoided contamination and the items were kept separated and organized so I knew exactly where to look and for what. The quality of everything tasted fresh and albeit it's hotpot you're going to get some things frozen but those things still tasted great in the broth. I think the real highlights of my meal were the beef platter; I thought the fatty beef was delicious and shared a texture with little bacon strips dancing on your tongue. The broth, I got the original and the spicy I will be back to try the tomato broth as well.

Some people are not fans of the Hot Pot concept. I like it because it is different but I can see the side others who may find it cumbersome and confusing. I know this is how I felt the first time around. This is hinged on not knowing how long to cook the food. I have finally got the hand of it and realized that you have to place the items like potatoes in ahead of items like meat. You have a choice of a regular soup base and a spicy base. The spicy is not for the faint hearted. The service is quick and efficient. Their concept has changed. Before you could order items to cook as you desired and you will be charged for those items. Now, you pay a flat rate of $23.95 and you can to your heart desire. There is a catch, if you leave back food or you are going to take home leftovers, you will be charged $37.95. The seating arrangements is set up so that you are distanced from the neighboring tables creating a sense of privacy where you are eating.

Don't miss this authentic Chinese Northern hot pot restaurant- Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Flushing |A/$ (Happy Lamb). Unlike Sichuan hotpot, Northern hotpot is lighter and less spicy, focusing more on the flavor and freshness of the soup base.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm and it was not too packed, we didn't have to wait too long. Waitress was very nice and attentive in terms of getting our broth and meats our quickly. They seem to have new things rotate in and out of the self serve bar when it comes to the fish balls/ raw meats/ fried food and what not. We order all three kinds of beef, pork, and lamb, our favorite was probably the beef, the lamb was quite gamey this time. I do wish they had thinly sliced brisket in their menu as well Overall, a decently priced place for ayce hot pot. For four people our total came out to be around $32 after tax and tips. The place is also pretty spacious with each table being booth style.
