Happy Lamb Hot Pot offers a spacious, clean all you can eat experience with a wide buffet of ingredients and a bright, calm atmosphere on the second floor near the Chinatown intersection in Montreal. The broth options include tomato and hot and sour, and many guests find the meal tasty, with friendly staff and quick service, and prices that feel reasonable for families or groups. While the buffet is well stocked and replenished quickly, a few labels can be confusing and the broth seasoning can be uneven or less bold than hoped, and there is a desire for more vegetarian options beyond the chicken broth base. The venue works well for casual meals, dates, or larger gatherings, with a large sauce bar and lots of variety, though accessibility at the entrance and a few safety concerns have been noted by some. Overall, Happy Lamb Hot Pot is a popular Montreal option with fresh ingredients, generous portions and consistent quality that keeps diners returning.
They just renovated the buffet corner, so it's better & have more options in vegetables & other portion. As price is not too expensive when you can eat as much & if you want to have more difference meat have to pay extra $5/1 person to try all. They also offer free meals for your birthday.
It's my first time having Hot Pot! Happy Lamb Hot Pot is fantastic, I tried the spicy broth, now, if you wish to die I recommend this for you, if not I suggest the mushroom broth, sooo delicious, even the sweet & sour with 1 chili my husband was sweating like a hog & couldn't handle the heat, the buffet ingredients for the soup have everything you can imagine, I loved the mushroom varieties & the dumplings were so delicious, service was top notch we'll definitely be back 😋 ❤️ 😀 ❤️ 😊

Been a regular customer since several years & their food never disappoints me. Pretty affordable for a buffet too. But the spicy soup could be spicier. :)
This was my first time & I really loved it! It was a buffet so I was able to bring vegetables & seafood that I wanted. You had to order the meat to the staff; but other than that, you had to use the buffet! The restaurant was very clean & the staffs were super nice!! I really liked the broth that I chose - it wasn't spicy for me but had a really good flavour! Definitely recommend for people who like hotpot!
I have no complain about the food it's pretty decent for western standard. the only thing that really bothered me is, they charge you 8$ for just the broth on top of the buffet price. I've been around the world & eat so many shabu in so many country. Never have I ever been charge for the broth. it's supposed to be the lowest cost of them but you got charge 8$ for it. it's a fraud. Staff are nice & helpful
One of my go-to hotpot!
Been coming here for years now & the broth had always been so so flavorful.
The service is quick as well & the atmosphere is nice.
They recently renovated & are now back to buffet style which is great since you can choose the quantity of whatever you want. They still bring the meat to your table though.
I also tried their fried rice & chicken wings & they're actually quite good!
Definitely recommend if you're a big eater as it is an AYCE. The prices are decent, on the lower end of AYCE hotpot.
Leon & his staff are so nice, attentive & quick! Deserve 1000/5 been going there for 15years & they are always steppin up their game ! Nice buffet & good broth !!!

A+

Update after reopen from pandemic:
Still the best lamb hot pot in town. If you're into hotpot & value the broth & lamb: Happy Lamb is your go-to hot pot spot. The service is fast & the waiters/waitresses are friendly. The food is served as ordered.
They have the most quality lamb over here! Sliced thin, dipped in hot pot & then dipped in the mixed sauce: Taste delicious! For the soup, you get the choice between spicy & non spicy. Food options include many choices such as seafood (fish, squid, octopus, shrimps, mussels, fish balls, etc.), Spinach, mushrooms (king trumpet mushrooms, needle mushrooms..), beef, pork, tofu, fried tofu.. I'm drooling writing this review. Love the place. You will like it you don't mind the smell of lamb!
This restaurant is authentic asian buffet style fondue, the fondue is really good especially the spicy soup (which, however, is very! spicy).
The rest of the buffet kinda sucks (cheap dessert & flattenend soda), but the main menu is good enough that I fully recommend this restaurant
