Went for dinner at Happy Lamb Hot Pot on a busy weekend evening. They have three other locations (Vancouver, Coquitlam and Richmond). This one is located upstairs above a CIBC branch. Nice that they have an outdoor covered area for large groups. $31.99/$34.99 for the regular/deluxe AYCE. They have a daily $21.99 lunch option (11:30am-3:30pm). Note: broth is an additional cost. Our group of 10 tried the house special original ($9.99) and half half broth ($11.99). Plum juice ($2.99) was tasty and refillable. Good variety of meats, vegetables and desserts. Enjoyed the lamb bone, pickled daikon/carrots, sweet corn, dumplings, black fish slices, lamb slices, peeled shrimp and fried bean curd rolls. read more

Super busy place. My cousin brought me here while visiting. They seem to be very popular and busy but service is really slow. I don't think they can keep up w/the demand. You order off the sheet of paper and some items had quantity listed but others didn't so I wasn't sure how to order. So we randomly ordered item. We got the 1/2 pot which was nice since we had a variety. The side dishes that were suppose to be available for self service was empty majority of the time. Only the rice & noodles were there all the time. They didn't seem to refill it very often. They were just ok anyways. The veggies were good and we weren't told what was what when they brought it to us so we just put it all in. Then we tried to get the check since no one really checks on you, it took awhile. Overall it's ok. Filled you up. 31.99 for regular or 34.99 for premium but we weren't that hungry. Ice cream at the end of nice! read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Ice cream to finish - Hot Pot Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Went to this Happy Lamb many times and have been happy each time. Lots of sauce selection and appetizers! The lamb bones and chicken wings (self-serve) are must-haves. The food is delicious and fresh. I typically have the regular dinner all-you-can-eat and the selection is huge. Definitely something for everyone, even those with dietary restrictions. There is free ice cream at the end as well. The restaurant is very accommodating to both small and large groups. I have been here with 2 people all the way up to 15 people, and it has always worked out. read more

Came by for lunch when it opened on a weekday over the Christmas holidays in a group of two with a fellow Elite. So we did not have to wait for seating...which is great as this place can get quite busy. The sauce making station was pretty standard and I enjoyed making my own dipping sauces. We had the AYCE lunch special for $21.99 (+ broth). We opted for the chicken broth which was nice...not over salted or spicy. Sampled all the proteins and much of the vegetables and leafy greens. I am far from an expert on the cuts of the protein at hot pots but I did like the beef (done two ways) and the lamb. The service was pretty good and they were quite attentive. We both came away very full and satisfied. It was a positive food experience. read more

So my friend brought me to a super random hotpot place right by metrotown and i have to say it wasnt that bad. Though i wish i had taken more pics but this will do. I really don't know what to expect since AYCE is a hit or a miss at majority places. But surprisingly this wasn't all that bad. This place does have diff tier pricing also discounted during happy hour or if you come on a weekday. The soup is included in the price, they have an unlimited open sauce bar that has a ton of options, a hot food appetizer bar that comes with whichever tier you choose. The thing that i love about this place is the shrimp/beef balls are made fresh, they aren't the artificial ones that are sold in bulk or coming out of a huge bag or anything. The cuts of meat had a wide variety, i was pigging out on lamb and pork belly. They are sliced thinly, there's some marinated options too. Guess what!!! If you love deep fried mochi filled with brown sugar or deep fried chinese style chicken wings along with deep fried buns and condensed milk well you are in luck because it's all part of the AYCE !! We got seated after 10 mins without a reservation, they do take resos though!! Plenty of free parking in the parking downstairs. Service is consistent, staff speak good english. I do have to say the elevator on the way up to the restaurant is a bit sketch and funny smelling. You can always take the stairs though! The place is super packed and popular so if you're not someone who likes crowds, this place might not be for you. My least favourite thing was the icecream, the cone was good but the twist flavour didn't really taste like actual chocolate vanilla ... other than i'd give this place a stamp of approval. You need to try having potato slices in your hotpot it's so good!!! read more

First visit to the Burnaby location! Went for their lunch AYCE for $21.99/person and it's such a good deal. We stayed for 1.5 hrs, they have a big sauce bar, with golden buns, spring rolls, veggie noodles and desserts. You order on a paper menu, lots of variety of meats, veggies, fish, tofu and noodles. You can pick the broth from the list and it is shared with everyone on the table. Great for large parties as you can try more variety! read more

The staff is really nice, the service was quick and the staff doesn't rush you while your eating, unlike some other hot pot places. Their meet and toppings were also really fresh and honestly the place was super clean read more

The set price includes most items, but some higher end foods come at an extra charge. Good variety of meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles were on the menu. There were 2 sauce stands (great variety of sauces and garnishes!) in the restaurant which also contained sides including canned peaches, soup, seasoned sticky rice cake tubes, and fried noodles. Nearing the end of our meal, they provided us with coconut ice cream, a big plus! Unfortunately, drinks are not included in the set price and come at an extra charge. There really wasn't any service aside from the waitress leading us to our table. However, they were quick to replace an empty tray of food with a full one. Food came quickly (5-10 mins) once ordered on paper. Minimalistic decor. Food: 4/5 Cost: 5/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 3/5 read more

Party of 4, went for lunch. Ordered $21.99 all you can eat. Meat, veg, fish, fish cake and other items, fresh and nicely sliced. all good. If you are looking for premium cut meat, you shouldn't look for it in "all you can eat" restaurants. Having said that, meat quality was, again, good. Fast and friendly service. No complaints!! We will definitely go back for more. read more

We went to Happy Lamb in Burnaby, early in the day before it was even open so that we could be sure to get a table for ourselves. This place does AYCE hot pot. We were stuffed beyond belief! Many of the newer hot pot restaurants offer individual hot pots but this one is a more traditional style where there is one shared pot for everyone to do their cooking in. Thankfully, this pot had a divider so I was able to have a Vegetarian broth on one side while my husband could have his meat broth on the other side. Our daughter would just switch every now and then between eating from one side or the other. Service was extremely slow this day. There's a time limit on the table but we weren't even served any food for the longest time which was a bit annoying. It's one thing to be slow with bringing out food when the kitchen is cooking food for customers. This was hot pot though. We were the ones who would be doing the cooking; they were taking ages just to bring out any food for us to cook. Hoping this was just an isolated incident. Other than the slow service, we very much enjoyed our meal here. Service: Could have been better Parking: Paid parking beneath the restaurant Location: 4755 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC read more

Happy Lamb offers yummy lunch options other than hot pot. So here's an updated review on ideas/items to order to create your own non hotpot lunch combo: (What we ordered in addition to a hot pot set lunch) Appetizer: - house special sesame cake - marinated radish Entree: - grilled lamb shank - grilled lamb skewer Dessert: - sweet Chinese donut - pumpkin cake Drinks - sweet soy milk - watermelon juice Happy Lamb has great lamb dishes to my liking. I especially enjoy their grilled lamb shank and find the quality quite consistent. Service, as always, is courteous, friendly and prompt. As well as great service, ambiance is chilled and relaxing. I like their decor which has lots of natural lighting and find their booth seating comfy. Visit happy lamb for a happy lunch :) read more

Update: I decided to lower the review to 1 star after talking with my friends. They told me that the waiter straight up told them in Chinese that "there's another booking for 8 people after you so you don't need to order, I can select and bring the meats to you", despite us just sat down for less than 10 minutes and was still figuring out what to order. Unfortunately due to this incident many of my friends feel disrespected and unwelcome. There were also flies flying around my table which can be considered a potential food hygiene problem, and my friend also found a piece of plastic stuck on the vegetable they served us. I won't call out the name of the waiter out of respect for privacy and confidentiality, but we definitely won't come back to the store, despite having been a regular for a while. Keep going like this and they may be reported to VCH. The food is ok, but the service has gotten argueably worse. We just barely sat down in our table and there was this middle aged waiter who was very insisting that he will bring us some meat dishes first despite us are still picking our choices (essentially he insisted that he would pick the items for us, despite this is a AYCE where guests are the ones who get to choose). The situation made us feel like the restaurant is trying to kick us out despite us just barely got to our seats. They also didn't bring all the dishes that we ordered, despite us asking for it a few times. For the future, I hope they can improve. read more

Happy Lamb Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

So I finally had a chance to try this place after the IP overlords from China (literally) forced these guys to change their name. I don't say this too often, but I think the Happy Lamb experience is actually superior to the old Chubby Lamb. Parking is still available in the lot underneath the building. The meat is nice and fresh, and now they serve it pizza style on round plates. They don't mess around with the portions. My friends and I destroyed ourselves with great prejudice. Beer is a bit overpriced (think western style pubs) but can't complain. Goes well with hot pot. This is one of the better deals in town for AYCE hot pot. FYI the Broadway and Kingsway locations are AYCE but the Richmond (Lansdowne) one isn't. Something to keep in mind. read more

I went here with a friend back in Jan 5th for lunch. We couldn't go to Dolar Shop after having trouble finding a table. The restaurant was quite slow around 2PM because most people prefer dining at Dolar Shop I assume. We had a great variety of toppings of veggies, meat and some seafood. Server forgot to bring us some pork blood, but remembered to bring them after asking her. Food was pretty good. Hot pot is pretty good for cold winter days anyway. We weren't aware of 25% discount after receiving the bill. I was afraid we get charged around $40, but felt pleased after receiving the discount. Our server Jusco was very helpful. I had a better experience comparing to last time where staff actually remembered the order without having to remind someone. We've received the drink refill as well. read more

We like coming here for All You Can Eat hot pot. Food is always fresh and the sliced beef is good quality. We order the soup base for $9.99 extra ( they require you to order a soup base), $31.99 for 12+ years old. Soft drinks for $2.99 and they offer refills. There is a small selection of ready cooked food such as fries, egg rolls and noodles. The sauce bar has a great selection of your standard sauces (peanut, satay, chilli sesame oil etc..) I recommend making reservations, they are usually packed even on week day nights. read more

Nestled in Burnaby by Metro, Happy Lamb promises unforgettable dining. Warmly greeted, we settled at sleek tables with induction cookers. The menu, diverse, offered broths, meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles. Classic spicy Sichuan and mild herbal broths delighted. Fresh ingredients arrived promptly. Thinly sliced beef and lamb melted, while shrimp and fish balls were plump. Fresh veggies provided contrast. We relished cooking and sampling each ingredient. Staff offered recommendations and the condiment bar allowed customization. I ate 15 plates! read more

Good assortment of meat, seafood, dumplings and some veggies for the hot pot. Sauce bar had a good selection.

I had a really good time getting all your can eat hot pot from Happy Lamb Hot Pot! Hot pot has always been a favourite of mine and I'm always searching for a new hot pot restaurant. I was so happy when Happy Lamb had an all you can eat option that was affordable. When they say that it's "all you can eat," they really mean it! My friends and I got a variety of food items including beef, tofu, udon and regular noodles, shrimp and pork dumplings, squid, and chicken. And all of the portions were really filling and tasty! We could choose 2 soups and we got a tomato one and one that was spicy. (I love spice so I liked that one the most!) It was also great that the restaurant gives you free shrimp chips and French fries. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we got for our hot pot! I would definitely go back since the all you can eat price was definitely worth it. read more

I've been a hot pot enthusiast for many years as I've lived in both Toronto and Vancouver, and I am thoroughly impressed by Happy Lamb. Their staff are attentive, efficient and really prompt. As we asked them, they honoured our requests super quickly. The all you can eat option is super affordable, they offer high quality vegetables and meat. They also have a super generous variety of items on their menu. Their sauce bar is really well maintained, and everything is stocked and refreshed in a timely manner. For a large hot pot restaurant, they space is bright, well ventilated, and a very fun place to have friends together or do a fun family night out. I'd recommend this spot as it's easy to find street parking, easy to walk from Metrotown mall. Can't wait to go again! read more

I came to this restaurant for a birthday dinner for the first time and came back in the very same week. I love hot pot, however sometimes it is difficult finding meal sets that work for me as I can only eat fish and chicken. Happy Lamb however provides all you can eat option for a great price which many options on the menu and even a sauce bar. The service here is friendly and fast with delivering the food, which is well worth the short wait. The atmosphere here is definitely on the louder side more bustling kind way but in way that is fun and enjoyable, it's the kinda eating experience that is great to go out with friends or a big group! read more

Got lots to eat but not sure why we cannot have just hot water to add to soup. Our friend who is health conscious wondered about their milky coloured soup broth that kept adding to the pot. Service is fine and a very good priced AYCE hot pot. Will definitely love to go again:-) Parking in the same building as the CIBC. read more

I'd give this 3.5 if possible. Because the food is good, the servers are attentive, and it is all you can eat (watch out which Happy Lamb you go to. For example, the one at Landsdowne is a la carte but this one near Metrotown is AYCE). But I do remember that before the rebranding, there were often deals and the price was cheaper--while everything kind of stayed the same in terms of quality. Expect it be about dinner $40 per person for AYCE dinner. Not at all bad. Just pricey compared to before! read more

We came here on a weekday for lunch. We ordered the mini hotpot. Food: 3.5/5 - we opted for the mini hot pot for one. It was sufficient for one. We both had the seafood which had cod fillet, prawn, shrimp ball, fish tofu, yam, napa cabbage, a couple leaves of leaf lettuce and egg noodles. The mini hot pots are available for vegetarians and meat eaters. In addition to the mini hot pots, the house broth and prune juice are included in the price. The broth was tasty & they topped up the broth. There are also appetizers, skewers, soy bean milk, & buns/pies to order separately. The foods' freshness was average. Service: 2/5 - we waited an hour for our food to come & when we inquired, no explanation was given. The place wasn't hopping busy. We were ready to walk out. At the end, they tried to make up for the delay by offering a complimentary jelly dessert. Ambiance: 3/5 - clean and nice décor. There is a separate area for a large party. Location: located on the top floor off Kingsway & McMurray Parking: metered parking out front or on the residential streets Note: if you have particular dietary requirements, & don't want to mix meat with your food, this isn't the place for you as there's one pot per table. I doubt we'll be back as there are other hot pot places to try on Kingsway. read more

My daughter LOVES hot pot. Ever since she was able to cook things for herself, she's be it's biggest fan. She's not alone. I love it too. Happy Lamb offers an AYCE menu that covers pretty much all you can think of when it comes to things to dip into a fantastic broth. In fact, they even have a menu for different broths; all which are fantastic in the own way. Any good hot pot place should have a good sauce station and Happy Lamb has got you covered. My personal fave? Satay sauce with a little soy and sesame oil topped with a spoonful of both garlic and cilantro. Parking can be a little sketch in that free underground parking. So if you're concerned, you can always take advantage of the all the paid street parking. read more

The place is convenience, spacious and bright. The service is great, may be I get better service because I speak Chinese. We were there last night and we are a group of 4. The food is abundance because we choose all you can eat. Besides the things we can order from the paper, they also provide some finger food such as spring rolls, french fries and sesame balls at the self service counter which you can create your own sauce. The quality is great. As it was my birthday, I asked if I can get a discount, they told me it is free for me! Yeah...very generous! You just need to show your photo ID. We order the first round and once we finished, we were so full. We didn't even order any starch product such as noodles or rice. Time limit is 2 hrs and at the end, they have special desert which is not on the menu. Yesterday was popsicle. One thing I noticed from yesterday, we should only order the good stuff, such as meat, leave others behind. The reason I said it because they give extra portion for the items we check on the list. eg, luncheon meat, we order 2 pcs, but comes with 8. sweet potatoes, same. As it is all you can eat, we have to finish it everything because any left over over 250g, they will charge you the original price...it is stated in the paper. I also found out they have daytime special. Currently it is 31.99/pp and if it is 11.30-4pm, 25% discount. I recommend this restaurant and will revisit again for sure. read more

This is a massive Little Sheep location and the first I've seen with a nice outdoor seating area! And surprisingly, the first I've seen with actual little sheep images around the location. I've been to two Little Sheeps before and this wasn't the case. Anyway, I had a great dinner here on a Saturday night (and happy we made a 7pm reservation for 7 people since it was totally packed with a wait outside). It came to $35/person after tax and tip for each of us. The service was pretty friendly and efficient, and most importantly the food was gooood. We had all your standard hot pot goods: meats, seafood, tofu, and veggies. There's a standard bar where you create your own dipping sauces. On top of the bar were rice chips and cold sesame sesame noodles for the taking, which was also a new sight for me. I had a taste, but thought better not to fill up before the main event. This Little Sheep provided the perfect setting for my cousins and I to catch up with laughs and childhood stories. I highly recommend this location! We got real thirsty by the end of it all. Just ask for iced water ;). read more

We love hot pot and have been coming here for years. When phase 2 of Covid-19 was lifted, we decided to see if they opened up and are still in business. Glad to see them still running; they went through renovations in mid Feb-March and then had to shut down because of the pandemic. Service is great as Victor and his team are so diligent in ensuring customers feel safe. Covid-19 protocols are in place, and I felt at ease eating here. I am not sure if masks are mandatory when you initially come in, but it's better to bring one just to be safe read more

PATIO AYCE HOTPOT ALERT. You can never go wrong with AYCE hotpot, and especially with the new covid restrictions for patio dining only, you'd be happy to know that this place has a beautiful patio (I don't recommend coming in the rain, despite it being covered if it rains too hard you can't get wet their patio isn't fully covered). * ($28.99/person) ~ they still have their entire menu available! I totally recommend coming here for the AYCE portion because we definitely ate our money's worth! * Highly recommend the duo soup base option because both sides are delicious and good with their meats! * 10/10 ~ I love AYCE hotpot! It's delicious and good! Can't go wrong! * 10/10 ~ I 100% ate my money's worth and the portion and quality ain't bad! Pretty good. Total bill before tip for 2 people: $64.94. * 9/10 ~ social distanced, info gathered, mask required for sauce station, and one way traffic. Only issue the patio isn't equipped for hard rain because you can get wet! read more

With the cold weather arriving, there's nothing better than warming up with some hot pot! I haven't gone to little sheep in many years, but since we were in Metrotown, it was so convenient and a great place to grab dinner after shopping. We arrived at around 5:30 on a Tuesday, and it was already busy! This is an AYCE, at $25 dollars per person and around $12 for the soup bases - a great deal for the variety of food you can eat. After ordering our first round of food, I was really impressed by the quality and freshness of all the ingredients. The pork slices, meatballs, and dumplings were probably my favorite, but there were honestly so many great options and such a large variety. They also have a bunch of different sauces to customize to your taste, which is one of my favorite parts of hot pot. I would also recommend paying an extra few dollars to get the cilantro and garlic to mix into your sauce as well. The service was decent, straight to the point and efficient. Will definitely be coming back next time I have a craving for hot pot! read more

So we had a late supper (7pm) and decided that as since it was a cold rainy night that we'd do Hotpot.. we wanted to try others but the waits were 90-120mins.. I called up this location and the host said that he had 2 tables for 2 so we rushed over .. walked in and sat at a table outside on their deck enough for 6 people .. that I found weird but I wasn't going to complain .. we had groups of 30-40 multiple times and it was okay.. this time .. the condiment seemed to be watered down .. the chili sauces didn't have a bite.. the food we order .. some showed up whilst others didn't so we had to reorder since it's an all you can eat.. we went with their higher priced option with the scallops and black prawns (frozen) and it was okay.. there wasn't much flavour in the mushroom soup broth.. the only saving grace was this phenomenal server (younger Chinese fellow) who was patient and walked us thru as how to order as it had been a while .. not bad for $70 but not like what it was before .. there used to be a complimentary plum drink .. not anymore.. so don't know if I'd go back again but that's my opinion.. the manager was a funny nonchalant guy that went to his regulars who were chugging beer and rightly so.. nice guy . All in all the service was good.. ambiance well you're on an outside deck‍ .. food was okay but slow coming out and it would've been nice to get everything we had order the first time around read more
