Always a great time here, our server Victor is top tier! The quality of the meats and variety of goodies to add into our broths are never a miss. Big fan of the addition of the self order tablets, will be back for another special occasion. Thanks victor again for making it great! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The bowls and water cups were dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On top of that, they served us the wrong food that we didn't even order, and when we finally got the correct dishes, the portions were noticeably less than what we should have for AYCE. To make matters worse, no one mentioned that the sauce bar would be charged separately--it just showed up on the bill. The ice cream machine was also constantly having issues, and even the ordering pads didn't work properly sometimes, which made the whole process frustrating and inconvenient. Overall, poor service, lack of transparency, and equipment problems made this a place I won't be coming back to. read more

Went to Happy Lamb Bellevue and experienced hotpot for the first time! It can be a little overwhelming at first, as the menu is quite extensive in options and the restaurant itself was very busy, but staff was super helpful in explaining how to order, recommendations and how to navigate things. The food that came out was super delicious and all seemed really nicely prepared. Our favorite between the original and spicy broths was definitely the spicy one. Would definitely come back! read more

We went for AYCE lunch regular with 4 people, one of us had a birthday so we got the 1 free meal with a part of 4. Our first round order we ordered 4 types of meat and it was plenty of food for us 4 plus veggies. The service was attentive and very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed our meal in comfort![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decorations were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Going at a weekday lunch is very relaxed with limited customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note the sauce bar is extra $3/person. Soup is also extra per person. The sauce bar includes desserts so it's worth it if you're looking for fruits, appetizers and dessert. read more

Stopped by again on a Saturday night with a reservation at 7pm for 8 people. I usually love this spot and the service but it didn't quite live up to previous visits. I'm giving 3 stars because I love the food and have only had great experiences in the past, but this last dinner was not a great representation. First, you cannot add a party larger than 6 people to the waitlist which I totally understand! The site tells you to contact the restaurant for large parties so I called but it sent me to an automated message asking for my zip code and a PIN number, which I don't have. There is no way to join the waitlist if you are a large group and the phone is not picked up, which is a bit stressful. I finally just added us to the waitlist as a party of 6 and wrote that it would be 8 people and left my number. They called me within a few minutes and set a reservation for 7. We didn't get seated until after 7:30, which was a bit annoying but I understand is not totally their fault. Second, they have changed from using menus and paper to fill out to using iPads at each table. Great in theory as the order gets sent directly to the kitchen, but it made it hard to order with a large group as only two people could look through the menu and order at a time and you could only order 1 broth. Along with this, you can only place an order every 25 minutes (i think?). I think that this would be great for smaller tables or for less busy nights, but because we didn't order with our server, we didn't know multiple plates that we had been waiting on were out of stock. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think they could benefit from a few more employees on weekends and maybe an outdoor waiting area so that the entrance doesn't get packed shoulder to shoulder as people wait![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This experience won't prevent me from returning because I love the food so much, but I probably will not be coming back with a group larger than 4 people. read more

I hadn't been to this location in a while, and it happened to be happy hour when I stopped by. I like that they replaced the paper menu with an iPad because it allows me to fine-tune the amount I want to order. That said, I noticed the portioning was inconsistent. For items like appetizers, the quantity matched the number I ordered. But for other items, such as vegetables and meatballs, the portions didn't reflect what I selected. During round two, I received fewer vegetables even though I ordered more than in round one. I also received more meatballs than I wanted when I only selected one piece. That was a bit frustrating and made it hard to gauge how much to order. Food was good as usual. read more

This is a solid all-you-can-eat hot pot spot with two pricing options. The higher-priced option includes drinks and wagyu beef, but we chose the cheaper tier. After tax and tip, it came out to about $50 per person, which felt reasonable for AYCE. They also offer a happy hour discount, which makes it an even better deal if you go at the right time. For the soup base, you can choose a combo. We went with a split pot: one spicy mala broth and one tomato broth. Both were flavorful -- the mala had a nice numbing heat without being overwhelming, and the tomato broth was rich and slightly sweet, great for balancing the spice. There's a self-serve sauce bar, appetizers, and fruit included. The selection of meats and vegetables isn't huge, but it covers the essentials: beef, lamb, and a variety of meatballs and fish balls. Everything tasted fresh. The fried chicken wings and brown sugar rice cakes (hong tang ci ba) are also included, which was a pleasant surprise. Both were actually really good -- crispy, flavorful wings and chewy, lightly sweet rice cakes that were perfect to end the meal. Overall, it's a good value for the price, especially during happy hour. Not the largest selection, but solid quality and satisfying experience. read more

I'd been wanting to try the AYCE at Happy Lamb for a while and I finally got to do it last week and I was horribly disappointed. I've never been to a hot pot, so definitely needed some instructions, but nobody seemed interested. A guy at the beginning, said oh it's your first time, I'll be back and vanished for 20 mins. We had to call someone else for help, and the tab didn't work. It was horribly chaotic. They didn't tell us that we can only order again after a 20 min cool off period. So it was very confusing on how to navigate it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was ample options for vegetarians but I didn't find it worth it, neither the ambiance, the service or the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A big no for me. read more

Not thrilled with the experience, ambience or food. The broth was mediocre tasting. I've had much better. Will not be returning.

To be very honest, any Happy Lamb hot pot experience will be a positive one. I've been to one downtown, so I expected a similar experience. I didn't know it would be like THIS though. Let's get into the review. Food This restaurant offers wide variety of meats that you can use for your hot pot as well as different hot pot soups to choose from. I love heat, so I chose the spicy one. We ended up ordering a couple of meats and appetizers, and didn't realize just how much food that was. I highly recommend to start off with two or three meats, and by the time you finish you can gauge if you need to order more. At any rate, the food tasted amazing! If you go, I recommend getting the octopus. Service Shout out to our waiter//server. He was so attentive and engaging, I darn well felt like I was eating at a Michelin star restaurant. But to continue, I can't even remember if I looked down at my glass and my water cup was not full. When we talk about being attentive, that's what we're talking about! He also helped me choose the right selection to complement my food when my preferred was out! His helpfulness definitely added to the experience! Ambiance [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is appropriately dim, with the focus areas of light shining on the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That is the vibe that I was going for and I'm so happy that they understood the mission and executed on it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was also appropriate. It helps at the mood, not too loud, but just enough for you to speak at regular volume and not be drowned out by the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, I give this restaurant a 5/5 would recommend. Going here is an absolute MUST if you are craving hot pot. read more

Upgrading to 5 Stars. Near Premium. Consistency. Service. Menu Selection. Food Quality. Added "Near Premium" to why we return consistently here. I don't mean near premium as a negative, rather it means near top tier meat quality at other hotpots that charge a high price, but with less quantity as those other establishments are not AYCE. The premium AYCE here is great, and a very good bang for the buck. Personally I stick with the Wagyu and Ribeye beef choices now. The lamb used to be my favorite but with the newly added premium beef, its beef all the way now! Bang for the buck, AYCE + quality beef. The consistency and knowing what you'll get everytime you visit is a winning recipe here. Service always friendly, and the menu selection is rather large. Now that is is fall/winter is here, HOTPOT is back in super vogue pose. Not that we don't eat hotpot when its hot out, but nothing beats hotpot on a rainy, chilly, moody romantic day. read more

Happy hour as of 2025 December 9th: 2 - 5pm Mon - Fri, classic ayce 29.98, prime ayce 40.98. Applies every day after 9pm Mon - Sun Awesome experience once again, from our server Evan who made sure everything came out fast and nothing was missed. Another server was excellent with helping us but I couldn't get his name! fresh meat and seafood options galore, it was a proper celebratory Christmas meal! Loved that the sauce bar has crawfish, and a spicy tripe & cucumbers along with snack peanuts. My absolute favorites, I could subsist on the sauce bar and ice cream alone. The ordering style is now an ipad instead of paper, and the internet cut out on the pad, but nothing about our service pace or style changed, so everything was fine! Lots of large groups (8 or more people) also came in for Christmas dinner, so it was lively where people were also exchanging gifts at their table, it was so nice to see. Thank you happy lamb for a great time as usual! read more

Happy Lamb has been my go-to spot for hot pot for a while now, and it consistently hits the spot. With AYCE, you can load up on all your favorites, and the self-serve sauce bar is always stocked--not just with condiments but also extras like spring rolls, dumplings, fruit, desserts, and more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff does a great job keeping things clean, constantly wiping down surfaces, which I always appreciate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint is that the self-serve bar tends to bottleneck. The line moves slowly and it can block the walkway, which gets a bit inconvenient during busy hours. And it is almost always busy, so I recommend checking the Yelp virtual waitlist to cut down on wait time. I usually check how long the wait is and add myself when I'm about that far out. They recently switched to iPad ordering instead of the old paper system. It's straightforward and easy to use, but personally, I kind of miss the paper. Still, service is consistently attentive, and if something gets missed, they're quick to fix it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, there's a reason I keep coming back--great food, good vibes, and an ideal spot to enjoy hot pot with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went here on the happy hour time at 9pm on a weeknight. There is a senior discount for any senior eating there just bring your ID. The food came out pretty quick when we ordered them via their tablet. The soup thought kinda all tasted the same, i think we have their regular broth, one mushroom as well. The staff were nice but honestly not as accommodating perhaps because it was quite busy. The food selection they don't have fried fish cake which is one of my favorites. But that's okay. The fried wonton from the bar is also good. Definitely recommend this place for AYCE. read more

Came here to celebrate my dad's birthday-- apparently four other tables did the same thing on that day! I appreciate their birthday deal of having a +/- 3 days from your actual day. They are willing to play the longest birthday song video ever if you ask them too haha. They changed their menu so that you order numbers of items, though I think they messed up quite a number of that for us and the tables around us heh. I live close enough to walk to this spot, they do have some parking if you had to drive here but you could also park across the street. read more

Very fast service and seating. Well decorated and clean for the most part. Love all their options for all you can eat and the sauce bar is a must in my opinion. Make sure not to over order on round one because you get three rounds, most people tap out after the second round. I'd come without eating lunch to get your moneys worth! Good amount of parking in the front and nearby. Don't need to upgrade to premium unless you want to. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Mongolian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Best Hotpot experience for beginners, large groups, and special occasions. I have visited this restaurant over 15 times since 2020. I recently visited in early June of 2025 to introduce our friends to hotpot for the very first time. The all you can eat 3 rounds always gets newbies overly confident and underestimating the quantity and quality of food that is provided in the first round. Happy Lamb Bellevue has the best soft serve ice cream ever. I rave about it to anyone and everyone that mentions hotpot. The soft serve machine has treated me to so many bowls of ice cream that I truly believe I get my moneys worth just from the amount of soft serve I get each time I visit. As a hot pot connoisseur that has tried almost every hotpot location in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area, Happy Lamb Bellevue specifically holds that #1 spot in my heart just because of the amazing service and soft serve. Go for the hotpot, return for the soft serve. read more

Great place for hot pot. Loved the high quality meat (especially all the beef), and the drink selection, as well as the appetizers (e.g. the fried buns). Loved the quail egg, shrimp and bamboo Several small pieces of advice for enhancement: - bigger selection for greens and veggies would be really appreciated - be more organized and put down the orders right will save more time read more

They have an ayce at lunchtime. The wait was long -maybe 20+ minutes. I should have marked down 2 for the both of us. The restaurant seems a little outdated. I noticed that people were drinking orange drinks. I wonder what that was? The food was good. Service could have been better. Our broth was evaporating and they didn't fill it up. We basically got no service after they dropped off the food. read more

First visit in long time, and it has new owners (used to be little sherp and now us happy lamb). The broth is not quite as flavorful, but still pretty good. We got there about 5 minutes after opening for lunch. Some people were seated and we couldn't find anyone to seat us. I think the one waiter was the only person on the floor. After about 8 minutes he seated us, gave us menus and disappeared for a while. After about 10 minutes we flagged him down and ordered the combination for two for $39. The beef and lamb were very nice quality and generous portions. The seafood wasn't my favorite. I don't know what the thick pieces of white fish were, but they look a long time to cook and didn't have much flavor. The whole shrimp were nice to look at but not to eat. Huge black vein I had trouble getting out. The tiny octopus were tender. We didn't eat the fake crab. I wouldn't order the seafood again. There were a few vegetables, but I like more. The noodles and dumplings were ok, but way more than we could eat. Way more. Next time I would order ala cart, and just get veg, mushrooms and meats. They now have a build your own sauce bar, but costs an additional $3 per person. We didn't think it was necessary. The broth at the last place was so flavorful it didn't need sauce. After trying this place, I can see where the sauce might be good to have. Once we had the food, we didn't see a server again until our broth was almost gone. I suspect they are under staffed for Monday lunch. read more

Food tastes good, I got all you can eat hot pot. But they only allow to order every 20 mins which means you can get max 4 rounds of order.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Tomato Broth 营养番茄锅 - Mongolian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Food is very good. However, the only real choice is ~$35 (+beverage)/ person all you can eat hotpot. Comes with most of the ingredients you want but everyone is paying at least $35. Go hungry. The broth and ingredients take some time to come out. Staff were not very helpful for a first time customer. read more

The food quality is definitely there, especially for the price. I very much enjoyed my meal. I have a big appetite and got full off 1 round. The standard AYCE has plenty of tasty options. Clean and nice restaurant, friendly service. The sauce bar line gets backed up, and the sauce options are very salty, I wish there was a ponzu or house option. Other than that, I would come back and recommend it! read more

I am not a big fan of AYCE restaurants. They often come across as sloppy, push out volumes of food with little other care because the diners demand volume above all else. Happy Lamb pleasantly surprised me balancing volume while maintaining a certain level of presentation. While they have an AYCE pricing structure, they also offer ala carte, which I didn't know until the hostess asked. By then, my brain had settled on AYCE. For that matter, "we opted for the Prime AYCE, which have 12 items that are prime exclusive and we get a free drink. For dinner time, Prime is $45.98pp. Honestly, it is not bad at all. We also added the necessary sauce bar, which is $2.99pp. For broth, we ordered the house original marrow and the house spicy marrow broth. Both are tasty, though not as rich as the other biggie in our area. Honestly, by the end of the meal, the broth tastes very good from all the meats and seafood. The hotpot prime items we ordered are lamb sirloin, lamb belly, wagyu beef, USDA prime rib eye, tiger prawn, and whole abalone. The hotpot regular items we ordered are marinated garlic beef, house shrimp paste, Fuzhou fish ball, broccoli (the green veggie of this meal), king oyster mushroom (a must!), and house lamb wontons (not recommended). For cooked foods, we tried crispy baked lamb shank and spicy crawfish, which is a mala spicy. The lamb shank was dry - not recommended. The mala crawfish was flavorful but also numbed my tongue. Of the items we ordered, the worthy repeated items are marinated garlic beef, house shrimp paste, oyster mushrooms, wagyu beef, tiger prawn, and abalone. Because it was near closing time and last call, they delivered to us both the second and third rounds of wagyu, prawns, and abalone. Our jaw dropped with the extra food that we didn't really ask for it. We ate them all! LOL!! We went home and did extra steps on the treadmill. Hahahahaha. The sauce bar is the only meh area. People are snobs. They can have a full-time person standing time wiping endlessly, and it'll still look like a mess. Overall, we were pleased for the quality, volume, and cost of the food. The place is pretty nice. The staff were hurried but did their job. I can see why it is difficult to secure a reservation. read more

Was able to quickly join the waitlist ahead of arrival. I will say the parking spaces are limited and small, so hopefully you find one! Originally had to be asked to moved tables which was quickly accommodated because the booth seat we were placed into could barely fit a kid, let alone an adult. Ordered the duo broth with the premium meats selection. Loved the meat choices and the unlimited options, but I will note that ordering is a bit tricky! Sometimes you get the amount you ordered in pieces, other times you get lots, or nothing at all. Broths weren't my favorite, but it's what's popular! Plating of the food was nice and clean, as well as the dining area. Again, some parts were just hectic or table extensions to hold extra food were rough to walk around but a decent AYCE experience! read more

My favorite hot pot restaurant! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice well kept place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], food is fresh and service is on point!

Came here for happy hour on two different occasions recently, a couple weeks apart, and they already changed their offering. They increased the price, but advertise it differently to make it seem like it's the same to the common eye. As a party of 2, we came for the 2-5 happy hour(opposed to the later option), and was surprised to find that lunch is only 2-4 after we got the bill. 4-5 is dinner prices which they don't say anywhere. Quoting my server, this is "a trick the owner does to get money." As for the food, the quality is good, but never once have I ever received the fried buns/chicken wings/rice cake for my last round. Never. This is honestly true for both locations which is crazy. I don't know what it is but they bring everything but the appetizer options, every time. I do like the ice cream machine and the Yelp waitlist option which is super convenient. read more

If I compare this one to the one in Seattle, I prefer that one. The service at the Bellevue location is always hit or miss in comparison. I appreciate the all you can eat, but it doesn't seem like they really follow the numbers you put down for the servings you're requesting which is kind of a bummer. Also we brought a birthday cake and they accidentally gave it to someone else who was having a birthday... They took off the cost of the cake of our receipt which was nice, but honestly, we wanted our cake. I think they need to improve their customer service skills, because it always seems to be something when we come here. read more

Went out for a girls dinner on a Tuesday around 7:30 PM. The wait time wasn't too bad, and there was plenty of parking available. Despite it being a weekday, the place was quite busy. Service was on the slower side, but since we were catching up, it actually worked in our favor and gave us more time to chat. We ordered both the spicy broth and the original both were rich in flavor. I really enjoyed the seasoning bar; the sauces were fresh, and I especially loved the pickled cucumber. We got the lamb and beef combo, frozen tofu, and noodles. The portion sizes were generous, and we could barely finish everything. Next time, I might skip the tofu and stick with just noodles and meat. The complimentary desserts were a nice touch and tasted great! Overall, the experience was very reasonably priced, and I'd definitely go back. read more

Used to like this place but unfortunately it has gone downhill. The shadiest is even though it is "all you can eat" they now charge a $2 per person "broth charge". This is only evident if you click the notice at the top of the menu on the ipad. Very deceptive pricing. You already have to pay $3/person for the sauce bar which I've already come to accept but $2 per person broth charge is ridiculous and should be included in the regular price. They've already raised their AYCE pricing this year sadly, so to add another hidden charge on top of that is shady. Also, service is pretty bad. Jacky is the only good/friendly/helpful employee and sadly he wasn't there when we visited last week. Came in around 4pm for a late lunch or early dinner. Restaurant was completely empty, yet they made us sit down and wait in the lobby for 15 minutes. Staff was pretty rude and seemed like they didn't care about customers. You order from an iPad now, which is actually nice so you don't have to try to flag down the waitstaff to order more. However the serving sizes are inconsistent and inaccurate. Some of the items say 1 pc per order so we ordered multiple, or only one because only one person from the group wanted that item, yet sometimes they bring out the one piece or sometimes they bring out enough for one serving per person at the table when we only wanted one serving. Ordered two servings of the lean "prime" beef and one serving of the fatty beef short plate, and received more of the fatty beef and hardly any of the "prime" beef. Also the "prime" beef seems to have gone down in quality because it used to be really really good and now it seems like it's a different cheaper cut that isn't as tender as it used to be and also had some gristle in it which made eating it quite a hassle. The meat was always a little hit or miss (sometimes it has been beautiful meat but it used to at least be satisfactory), but this most recent time it was particularly unsatisfying but we had to choke it down so we wouldn't get charged for leftovers. Also had to wait 15 minutes for them to bring the check, despite pressing the button on the iPad to call waiter to pay multiple times and asking multiple bus boys who walking by who didn't seem to speak English. Overall, I'm disappointed and disheartened by my most recent experience, particularly the new deceptive pricing. read more
