Happy Lamb Hot Pot est perçu comme un espace spacieux et propre, situé au deuxième étage près du croisement principal de Chinatown à Montréal, facile à repérer grâce à de grandes fenêtres qui donnent une ambiance lumineuse et calme. Le buffet à volonté offre une large sélection d'ingrédients pour la fondue et plusieurs bouillons, dont des saveurs comme tomate et piquant, avec des produits frais et un réassort rapide. Le rapport qualité-prix est apprécié et convient pour des repas en famille, des rendez-vous ou des sorties entre amis, surtout à midi lorsque le tarif est plus attractif. Le service est généralement rapide et sympathique et le bar à sauces permet de personnaliser son mélange. Toutefois certains retours évoquent des etiquetages un peu confus et des bouillons pas toujours équilibrés, et le menu manque parfois d'options végétariennes, ce qui peut donner l'impression d'une offre centrée sur la viande. Des remarques mentionnent aussi une ambiance qui peut rappeler une cafétéria et, dans certains cas, des questions d'hygiène ou d'accessibilité avec les escaliers. Dans l'ensemble, Happy Lamb Hot Pot est une destination hot pot bien établie et généreuse, souvent recommandée pour sa richesse et la fraîcheur des ingrédients, tout en restant conscient des limites et des variations d'expérience.
Had a good experience here several times w family. We loved the lamb!
I grew up eating spicey food, I am not as hardcore as a Thai person, I found the spicey hotpot a bit spicier than I would've liked but still ok. But if you are unsure it's better to order the ting yang pot or another non-spicy one.
Update:
Still going there every few months, still flapping & still a happy little duck! 😍
Last time I went w my mom & the total was ~$50 for two people. (We went at lunch time n a weekday = special price). This was two months ago in Nov 2025 so, happy to see it's still quite affordable. We don't stuff ourselves (& we're pretty good about it) as we believe that is the best enjoyment… no sense trying to wreck the business's bottom line & our stomach, when $25 per person is REAAALLLY reasonable.
& yes we both love the lamb here. 😍😍😍😍

Considering the high cost of everything for restaurants these days I am glad they can keep a reasonable price. I try not to over order because food waste is awful, & it's hard enough for restaurants these days w the high cost of everything.
If you wanna bring someone or a group out for a nice meal you actually have to sit & prepare yourself in a authentic Chinese fondue, here's the place. I recommend to go hungry. You'll be glad you did. That broth..... The one guy that got the hot & spicy got what he asked for.

Good food with tasty choices of meat & a decent amount of vegetables. The spicy hot pot is not really spicy at all & they take a while to refill the sides once there is no more.
Overall pricey but you do have endless meat but the meat we got was more on fatty side which made our broth really greasy & yucky after awhile (did not like that). The spicy soup broth with Szechuan peppercorns should be in a pouch, there was too much & felt like it was all I tasted & numb tongue. Staff was quick to refill the meat & overall friendly.
Pretty standard hotpot place. The most important thing for AYCE is how quickly they bring the meat, which is what the staff here do! The "hot" soup is not very spicy. Kind of watered down. I suggest taking the Butter hot soup with 3 chilli signs. Enjoyable experience overall.
My go to restaurant for Chinese fondue. Always have the spicy pot makes the food tastier. I usually take beef & lamb sliced meat & all kinds of mushrooms. The only thing I wasn't sure first time I tried was figuring out what ingredients should I use to do my sauce. One thing to note, because of steam coming out of every pot, your clothes will have a strong smell for a couple of days!
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)!

I always love an all you can eat restaurant because I eat a LOT. So it was not disappointing, this restaurant offers a lot of different options. The food is great. My only problem was with my option of soup. According to the menu it wasn't supposed to be too spicy (on a scale from 1 to 3 of spiciness it was marked as only 1) but in fact it was very very spicy, more than I expected. Maybe I'm not so used to that lol
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!

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
food wasnt bad. its like shabu shabu but the soup here has a different flavor & i loved it! the service wasnt bad & i enjoyed everything on my plate. my partner ordered a spicy soup & it was just as lovely as mine! we will probably visit the place again when the weather gets cooler.
