My first time at Happy Lamb Hotpot. It’s a very good pick!
They are AYCE with the standard “classic” ($32) and “premium” ($37) plans, which are really good prices imo. I chose the classic, and the meats were good quality.
Ordering is done traditional waiter-style. I personally dislike this because it can create an awkward eating pace since you’re waiting for a waiter, and since these places are normally very busy, it usually takes a little bit. Luckily, the servers are very nice and my group even got some vouchers at the end! Still, I always find a tablet/QR code works best.
Sides here are free and bar style. A lot of common sides are at the bar, and they have a solid variety (no bok choy, but other greens). Rice cakes, another common side, are only available with the premium plan.
Like other hot pot places, there is a sauce bar with a small charge. This charge for Happy Lamb also includes self-serve soft drinks & ice cream. The ice cream is not that good, so I’d recommend sticking to the mantou which is by the side bar. The soft drinks includes Pepsi products and some sweetened fruit teas which were pretty good (and also pretty sweet).
The atmosphere is very nice, almost high scale. We went on a Thursday night and it was lively and energetic. The meats are displayed very photogenically, and I saw some of the meats from the premium plan even have a very extravagant display.
