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.
The staff are very nice, the food is really good too. There weren't too many people (3 o'clock)& the place is actually calming. Really recommend. (The fish tofu was soooo delicious)
Absolutely delicious! It's my fav restaurant to go on a cold day! The price is reasonable for all you can eat! Everything is fresh & great atmosphere! 👌🏻
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
Omg the amount of food we ate was incredible! It's not expensive for all you can get. Good variety of food you can add to your hot pot, seafood, beef, pork, & vegetables. To finish with a small dessert. I really like it. It gets quite busy at dinner time. It's better to get there early or be ready to wait around 20 min.
Perfect on a cold day. Soup bases were the perfect balance of flavour. Food quality was quite good.
It may be overshadowed by the other flavourful soup options, but the clear soup holds its own!!

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 !!!
You can now get your veggies, meat & seafoods yourself from the counter. For only $5 extra you can try the AAA Angus beef & lamb. They added extra sauces, love the garlic!! & yes the HAPPY HOUR is all worth it!! We look forward to our weekly family bonding over a delicious lunch at Happy Lamb Hotpot! Keep up the good work!

Resonable price for chinese style hot pot dinning, standard flavour of the hot pot soup, more choice of free soft drinks, fresh ingredients. Poor BBQ dishes.
I went there for my birthday & it was perfect!! All the soups were really good & there were multiple food choices (the only thing is that there’s not much dessert so I would recommend going for a bble tea after :)
Overpriced for the quality. We tried 2 bouillons & they didn't taste much. Fish quality was low. Some looked expired because it was very slimy with white stuff on it, didn't eat it. Everything is self serve, for 30$ + tax. Not worth it to be honest.

Tu sais lorsque tu as l'impression de déranger? Plat brochettes boeuf sur vermicelles, & rouleaux impériaux, bien, un peu fade, sans saveur. rien de wow.
Leurs spécialités les soupes.
J'ai été surprise du service si peu accueillant, & sentir de l'impatience lorsqu'on fait une demande, ustensiles, eau, sauce.
S' ils ne veulent pas qu'on demande, qu'ils l'offrent de base.
On ne parle pas ici de demandes extravagantes.
I love coming back here, it reminds me of my years in China. I always order the ying yang broth because you can try two of the traditional flavours without compromise. The ingredients & meats have a good variety, just wish they added lotus root to their menu (although maybe I just dust see it). This place has a great sauce bar & a good small of breads. I recommend
Update September 2023: they renovated the restaurant with open buffet bar now, which is great!! Food are very fresh & staff is friendly, efficient.
Reconfirm the best buffet hotpot in town!!
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!
2023 Update: It keeps getting better. You can get your own food now & the selection is 10/10 super fresh.
Autumn 2021 Update: It keeps getting better! Service is so friendly, the manager remembers our requests for spoons & a waitress (Nicky?) is super efficient & friendly. 100% recommended!
2021 Update: it's even better now! Customer service is 10/10, a waitress noticed I was vegetarian & gave me the right broth refill.
Incredible hotpot & fresh ingredients. Really good service!
