    Want the best hot pot in the Portland area? Willing to drive out to Beaverton? Then you're in luck--Happy Lamb Hot Pot is hands down the best hot pot in PDX. Located in Beaverton, Happy Lamb is the perfect place to get your hot pot fix. This was my first time, so I went with friends who knew what they were doing, and it was such a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fun spot to share a meal, spacious and comfortable, though it can definitely get busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking and super friendly staff made things even better. The food was amazing. The sauce and sides bar had tons of tasty options, with endless combinations to really build your flavors. I went with the all-you-can-eat premium, which gives you a little bit of everything--and it did not disappoint. This is ideal for a cold, rainy day. Give yourself plenty of time to eat, relax, and enjoy the experience. And honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. Pro tip: Go on a weekday for lunch or happy hour if you can. Highly recommend--enjoy!

    Sad to see the prices go up again. $2 increase plus the new $2 broth fee per person. That's a $4 increase for the regular menu this year. $5 increase for the premium menu. The menu changes from time to time, and their happy hour seems to come and go as well. For birthdays, the free meal only applies to the regular menu. If you choose the premium menu, they only offer a discount. If you haven't tried, their chicken wings under the starters are actually pretty good when they come out fresh and hot, even better than some dedicated wing spots. However, they are not always fresh and hot, and starters often come out pretty late. From my experience, if I come right when they open around 11:30 AM-12 PM, the meat quality doesn't look as good compared to later in the day. They recently added a reward program based on wait time, similar to other places like Haidilao. I hope they eventually introduce a points-based membership program like other places too. I usually come here once a month and it would be nice to earn points. Service is still a hit or miss, but the food tastes good as usual.

    This is my go-to spot for hotpot. I love their broth selections, there's always something flavorful whether you want something light or more bold. The quality of the meat is consistently great, and they offer a wide variety of veggies, meat, and add-ons, so you can customize your pot however you like. The restaurant can get busy, so I recommend reserving a table ahead of time through Yelp or walking in a bit early. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dinner rush, especially on weekends, can get packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite the crowds, the staff are always friendly, attentive, and quick to refill broths or bring out extra item The ordering process is super easy. They hand you an iPad where you can select whatever you want, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. I also came in for my free birthday meal, which was a nice bonus. The only requirement is dining with a total of four people, which makes it a fun spot to celebrate with friends or family. Overall, highly recommend if you're craving hotpot!

    My bf loves hotpot, and was craving it, so came here for lunch. I'm more if a dry pot person, but I do like AYCE, and like that you can try a variety of things. My bf and I chose our own broths. My bf enjoyed everything, and so did I. I just feel like they should include sauces, instead of charging an additional cost for it. Service was quick and friendly.

    Cathy S.

    OK you really can't beat the weekday AYCE deal for $29 and it sounds like now they have set menus for lunch as well. This is for sure our go-to spot to get our hot pot fix and they have added more things to their sauce bar each time we go ($3.99/person). The service is always fast and efficient, though I wouldn't say too friendly. They get you food and they get it done. Lots of seating for all group sizes and the booths are always clean, nice, and comfy. To be honest we don't always make it to Round 2 but that's also because we front load the meat in the first round. Fatty Beef is a MUST and of course pro tip don't fill up on fried rice, wings, and the sauce bar things (spring rolls, sesame balls, etc) but the fried buns with the condensed milk is a must-get for us every time and the fermented cabbage, woodear mushroom, and peanuts provide the acidity and spiciness that pairs well with the rich and decadent broth. Something new that happened I did not expect was the $10 charge for my toddler (she's 3 and ate maybe 3 slices of spam and some sauce bar things) apparently they charge kids 3-5 years old a flat rate of $10 now and they also did charge her for the sauce bar - our whole group opted into the sauce bar. I'm still not sure how to feel about this charge yet...might reconsider bringing her here since I definitely don't think she eats that much to warrant a charge. Anyway, the food quality and taste choices are always solid here. I personally love the tomato broth but all their broths are rich and flavorful and worth a try whether you're a new or seasoned hot-pot consumer.

    Oh dear. I've been to HLHP a handful of times before but can't say I'll ever go again. There was definitely a language barrier with the menu, and I'm not sure if they got a new server or menu since my last visit, but I've never had a harder or more confusing time communicating what I'd like to order. The AYCE menu vs the a la carte menu, using Groupon vs using the free birthday meal, and having to have 4 adults in order to use the free birthday meal was all too much. The food was decent, but not worth the trouble it took to order.

    Despite the name, they have a good variety of vegetarian/vegan options! Their broths can be made vegan so we got 2 hot pots, one as is and one Vegan You can do a half and half, so we got a curry and a spicy one for the vegan pot. The curry was by far my favorite You can get up to 3 rounds of proteins, veggies and rice/noodles The fried rice and noodles were delicious. For protein I got 3 types of tofu, bean curds and a whole assortment of veggies You get a paper menu and you check off all the things you want in the first round, then you give it to them at the end of each round when you are ready for the next servings There is also an AYCE sauce bar for a surcharge which comes with different sauces and oils that you can mix around, plus spring rolls and whatnot Both times we've came, we never could make it to the 3rd round Service was okay, even with no rush it felt like we weren't being checked in on as often as we'd like. At $32 a person before tip, it's not cheap but still worth the experience. Do go hungry for sure!

    Happy lamb is always booming every time I come in. It's one of my favorite hot pot places. There is a little waiting area across the register. They greet you as soon as you walk in. My family and I always order the half & half broth(original/spicy). The spicy marrow broth is not that spicy in my opinion but it is really flavorful. We order majority of the menu the first round and our favorites the 2nd round. Chicken wings are amazing and crunchy. The sauce bar has so much options, from desserts to little appetizer fit a few extra bucks.

    Phil N.

    Happy Lamb has changed a bit over the years and since my last review but I still feel like they are the best option for AYCE hotpot in the Portland area. When they first opened under Little Sheep the broths were so packed with flavor that you didn't need dipping sauces and your clothes would smell of hot pot and herbs long after leaving. These days the broth is still fantastic but it's no where near as strong as it used to be however they have a $3 sauce bar where you can make your own sauces now which is a nice touch. There's sauces, a few fried finger food options like wonton skins or egg rolls, black fungus, fruits, and other desserts, but unfortunately the old soft serve machine from years ago is no longer present. There's a new premium option now for like $12-15 more but we typically stick with the base option and are plenty satisfied with that.

    Kadin H.

    Great options, I think there's value in both the ala carte and AYCE options, it just depends on your appetite. Portions are plenty big, we ordered ala carte two meats and four sides plus two orders of noodles and it was just right for four people. The quality of all of the food was excellent! Half spicy and half original broth is the way to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Could be great for a larger party or just a couple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My family & I went here last night to celebrate my son's milestone birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was great and the atmosphere was festive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The evening was great until I was ordering a glass of wine And the server ( woman, glasses & face mask) said " you want another one"? Then proceeded to roll her eyes at me. She did bring me the wine but this was rude & embarrassing. Everyone in our group saw this. Horrible way to end our evening.

    We continue to go to hot pot here, time after time. It always hits the spot. And prices cannot be beat for the unlimited buffet options. Service has gotten much better the last couple of times. They have paid attention to the rounds we are on and get in our next order quickly. They have also been very attentive to our water and tea needs. It has definitely been a wonderful culinary experience!

    Happy Lamb is a wonderful restaurant. I have been to the one in Flushing, Queens, NY and wanted to try the Portland location. We were not disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was attentive, the booths make for a fun atmosphere and most importantly the flavors are awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved the pork, short cut beef, fresh noodle, and house lamb wonton the most. I will pass on the mussels next time. On a Saturday night we got there at 5 and were seated for 2, by the time we left at 6:15 there was a waitlist. It's approx $34 a person with the sauce bar included. Thank you, Happy Lamb staff!

We had a staff replace it. Staff were very attentive in checking in on us and making sure our water was filled. A+ for customer service, very rare to find attentive staff nowadays.

Every soup base we've tried has had great depth, and the quality of the meats really stands out; fresh, well-sliced, and perfect for cooking in the broth. The restaurant itself is spacious and nicely decorated, making it comfortable for both family dinners and group gatherings. Ordering is also very convenient since each table has an iPad, so it's easy to browse options and add items without waiting for staff. A solid and reliable choice if you're looking for authentic, flavorful hot pot in the Bethany area.

We were able to be seated quickly and the restaurant is clean and well designed. One thing that I especially like is that you self serve everything. There is nothing I dislike about all you can eat places than saying "oh can I have the whatever but only 2 pieces" if I'm just trying it for the first time. Having the freedom to get smaller portions is a game changer. They also have a sauce bar which is always a good time. Another thing is that I personally don't mind $45 per person. To me it says that they know their worth and are going to actually try to stay open rather than undercut themselves. Yes, its a little bit spendy, but its all you can eat meat, its a special splurge meal anyway its not like we'll be going on the regular. Lastly - I love the icecream freezer. A+
