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.
J'ai vraiment apprécié ce moment. Une belle ambiance & la variété est magnifique. La nourriture est bonne. Je conseille de prendre des bouillons épicés car les bouillons doux sont fades. J'ai rajouté de l'ail dans mon bouillon clair. Juste s'assurer de ne pas trop demander de portions de viande car on est rempli rapidement. Y aller au fur & à mesure. Je le conseille à tous pour des moments intimes ou pour la famille. P.S. : c'est compliqué pour le stationnement. Prévoir de la marche & un parcomètre.
Great deal for lunch but you only have 2 meat options (beef & lamb). Broth is charged separately. You have to order with the waiter for the meat, but other than that veggies, noodles, & other types of protein/ fish balls are self served. The soy sauce noodles & fried chicken wings are surprisingly good. There are 2-3 options for dessert & I liked the jelly with brown sugar. The restaurant is pretty busy but doesn't seem to have enough servers so service could be a hit or miss.

I visited this place with my family after we received quite a few suggestions & this place did not disappoint! Recommendations we have are that we were hoping for lemon & lime for the sauces, maybe some garlic as an ingredient for the hotpot. Maybe some different drink flavours as well (there was water, fanta, coke, plum, watermelon, sprite). The AYCE aspect was perfect for our family & allowed us all to get our own ingredients whenever we wanted & it was very self explanatory. The staff were so so kind & helpful & came to refill our soup bases with hot water! There were sooo many options of ingredients that we never usually have at home, so many different meats & veggies. There was a lot of space & it did not feel too packed, & the soup bases we were allowed to have two per pot! In total, we had two pots & ordered four different soup bases with a divide for each pot. We loved the mushroom, clear & tomato broth, while the sour spicy one was a little too spicy. Definitely think we will become regulars at the place (my family & i)!
Je recommande pas beaucoup. Sur les réseaux ça dit que c'est trop bien j'ai été tenté j'ai essayé je trouve pas incroyable les bouillants étaient pas savoureux & l'un des serveurs était très désagréable nous a ignoré 2 fois & ne répondait même pas avec des mots faisant que hocher la tête pas trop satisfaite
The music was very loud. Everything seems very nice, but the hotpot in itself doesnt taste like anything, it gave me flahsback from having covid, everything was pretty much tasteless. Also they gave us straight up frozen meat I would probably not come back except on my birthday as it is free. I had big expectation for this place & it wasnt it.
Nous avons testé cette fondue après avoir visionné une vidéo recommandant le restaurant sur Instagram, & nous n'avons vraiment pas été déçus ! Une expérience superbe ! La formule du midi à 20,99 $ à volonté offre un large choix.
Our first time here & everything was great! There was a bit of a line up even though it was a weekday. At least it smells good while you wait haha Restaurant was clean & staff are attentive in going around to refill the broth. There's a small fried food section. Wings were meaty & tasty. Lots of selection of veggies & fish balls, noodles & other ingredients. Some were not labeled so had to explain to my partner what they were. Sauce bar was fun & had enough variety to make your own sauces. Meat was good. We just stuck with the lunch combo meat & was satisfied. We enjoyed the mushroom broth & curry broth. The raw chicken from the buffet was over marinated so it had a more gelatinous texture when cooked. The place was busy so at times, they ran out of the small bowls at the buffet but other than that, everything was good! Washroom was clean.

J'ai adoré découvrir ce restaurant. La formule à volonté est super, il y a énormément de choix dans le buffet pour cuire dans le bouillon. Beaucoup de choix pour les végétariens aussi. J'ai bien aimé l'agneau, le tofu, le choux & les nouilles. Par contre le bouillon m'a un peu déçu. Nous avons pris tomates & curry. Peut être nous aurions dû essayer un bouillon épicé... 6/10 pour le goût, 11/10 pour l'ambiance & le concept.
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.
Léger changement dans les dernières années ! Maintenant nous allons cherché nous même nos viande légumes, fruits de mers & autres.. ce qui est encore mieux ten qu'à moi 🙃 plus rapide & plus simple. Toujours aussi bon après 5 fois & pas changé depuis le covid19. Fondue (chinoise) style mongole. Probablement les toilettes les plus propres du cartier chinois 😉 c'est bon signe.
Expérience vraiment sympa excellent restaurant pour passer beaucoup de temps sur place à parler avec des ami ou en famille les serveur & serveuse font un travail remarquable vu le Nombre de Manoeuvre qu'il doivent accomplir le français n'est pas la Langue principal dans ce lieux
It's a really good hot pot place, serving quality ingredients for cheaper! There isn't a huge selection of meat, but I'm still satisfied! You select your broth (I chose one big with 2 flavors, tomato & curry) & your choice of meat (beef & lamb, premium or regular). You then create your own sauce at the sauce bar & go to the ingredients bar to choose your veggies, meatballs, dumplings, noodle & other type of meat. Service was super fast & friendly! Will definitely go back ♥️
Great place for group lunch at reasonable price. Plenty of choices for everyone & the individual pot option is great for those who don't want to over-share. The meats were good & nicely cut.
