Amazing experience at Happy Lamb! I've always seen it driving by, but I've never had a chance to try it. The interior looks so elegant and is bigger than it seems on the outside. I loved everything I got and the sauce/appetizers/dessert bar is great. You have so many options and they were all so delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely come when you're hungry.

house original marrow broth and house spicy marrow broth

Came here for the first time on a Saturday night. There's a bit of a wait so I would recommend waitlisting on Yelp before you go. When we all got there, we were able to get seated immediately. Apparently they remodeled and the place looks beautiful. One complaint I have though is it may be hard to get to the sauces/dessert/other food in the back if there is a lot of people walking in and out. The space between tables along with the smaller tables they put the food on is rather small. I noticed the prices had slightly increased compared to the menu I was looking at before on Yelp (see pictures for updated menus). The food and broths were amazing! The house original is so good and you can just scoop some into your own bowl to drink. We ordered a lot of meat and noticed a couple meat platters weren't delivered during round 1; we had no issues during round 2 though. The marinated garlic beef and Australian wagyu brisket were so tasty, just all the beef in general. Pork belly was alright and I didn't eat any lamb. The wide bean noodles were also so chewy and delicious. Overall we all ate good and left feeling satisfied. I would come back (so glad they have locations in Socal)!

Food is on point. Hot pot didn't disappoint. The service was exceptional and the ambiance unforgettable. Definitely coming back

went here around 6:00 pm on a Saturday (valentine's day) was very packed. you walk in and there is a yelp waitlist on a tablet. we were 43rd so the wait was about going to be 2 hours, it was pretty accurate enough. we filled out a paper form while waiting to choose soup bases, proteins, noodles, etc., we found this helpful while waiting so we already know what we wanted. we were sat and they gave us water already, there is a sauce bar with unlimited starters, desserts, they also have a cotton candy machine & ice cream machine! i think that was such a great unique way of having more dessert inclusivity. we ordered a lot of meat on the menu. you can do 3 rounds and everything is pretty much self explanatory. they bring everything out pretty fast. since it was valentine's day we expected to wait long but the quality of the broth & meat was really delicious and one of the best hotpot we have been to. we really enjoyed this place and there is plentiful space but gets pretty crowded. the parking situation is a little tight since there are other restaurants, but overall everything was smooth and great once we were seated.

Overall, a solid hotpot spot. Occasionally they bring the wrong items or one or two things might be missing from the order, but it's not a deal-breaker. The food itself is good, and the waiters are friendly and attentive. A big plus is the snack bar -- lots of different appetizers to choose from -- and there's even a cotton candy machine, which is a fun touch. Definitely worth checking out despite the small hiccups.

Lobby area

Last minute plans for a NYE dinner ... 4 of us showed up at Happy Lamb hot pot around 7:30pm. We were 28th on the waitlist even though I'd added us online, so we settled in for a wait. The lobby area was busy with waiting patrons, but they kept us engaged with their complimentary soft drinks and snacks. We got a table after about an hour, which was reasonable given our lack of planning and it being a holiday night. They only offer an AYCE menu at this time and you can place your orders 20 mins apart, apparently a maximum of 3 times. We got the AYCE premium option - $41.99 with the sauce option for an additional $3. We ordered a variety of meats with the spicy broth and the milder tomato broth. Slices of lamb, beef, some chicken, various types of sea food, quail eggs, veggies, noodles - we soon had a cart of food by our table. It was a perfect way to converse and eat and slurp our way through the spiciness while catching up with friends. The sauce bar also has some other offerings - spring rolls, fried chicken nuggets, fruit etc. which we didn't have a chance to sample. They also have a soft serve ice cream as part of the sauce bar. As hungry as we thought we were, we couldn't order round 3 and barely finished round 2. The service was prompt despite it being packed to capacity, which was great. A good spot to visit if you are hungry and have folks who enjoy hot pot!

Snacks and sweet iced tea in the waiting area

My group of 4 came after their reopening, and they've remodeled the place to be much more modern, bright and colorful throughout. The space feels much larger than it was prior to their remodeling, which is nice, and there was a cart with snacks/drinks for people waiting for tables out front. The service wasn't the best, especially once it got busier and the tables were all seated - we found ourselves waiting to place our next order or for our items to come for almost 30 minutes at a time, which caused us to not be able to place our final order (they give you 3 rounds on the ordering sheet) until about 75 minutes into our 90 minute seating time, and the worker seemed visibly annoyed and told us our time was almost up. Even though he took our order, he only brought out 2 items from the 5 we ordered, and when we asked him about the remaining orders he told us our 90 minutes was almost up. The 90 minute time limit would be reasonable if there wasn't such a long delay between our orders, so it'd be best if you place your next order well in advance of you finishing the items you received from the previous order - inconvenient and potentially wasteful if you're not able to gauge how much you're going to eat in advance. The food itself was pretty good in quality - we especially enjoyed both lamb meats offered on the prime menu and the shrimp paste, and the cooked lamb leg was surprisingly good! They have a good variety of veggies, seafood, fish balls, tofu, noodles, etc to go in your hot pot. The soup bases were nice and flavorful, so not getting the sauce bar wasn't too big of a loss, and they did refill our broth once during our meal, though towards the end it was getting really low and we couldn't get anyone to refill it which made the broth really thick and salty. Overall, the offered quality and variety of food is really good, and the space is really nice after the remodel, but the service made the experience not as enjoyable, and I'm not sure I'd come again unless I knew it wasn't busy.

This is a HOT POT Place that is ALSO 1 of the BEST I have been to. Despite being Crowded, "Happy Lamb" STANDS OUT to having Features that I would NOT see anywhere else, INCLUDING a "Cotton Candy" Machine & a "'Soft Serve' Ice" Cream Machine. They even have "White Puto", which to state RESPECTFULLY & SINCERELY "For the Record", is NOT be Confused w/ the "Spanish" Translation. "Puto" in the Philippines is a "STICKY RICE" Cake Snack/Dessert. Th environment is clean & WELL Maintained throughout the Restaurant, including the Bathrooms. If any criticism, the ONLY Critique I would say is that for certain Days SUCH as "Tax Day" (April 15), there NEEDS to a "Grace Period" of people an allowance to celebrate their birthday & receive the "Birthday Perk" from the restaurant. According to the Waiter/Restaurant, the "Birthday Perk" can ONLY be given within "2 Days" (BEFORE or AFTER) the ACTUAL Person's Birth Date. However, w/ ALL DUE Respect, I can back up my Critique. As my Birthday is the Day BEFORE "Tax Day", I am NOT ALWAYS able to Celebrate my Birthday around that time because the "Nature of Work" for 1 of my Family Members involves working @ a Tax Firm, & UNTIL Her Work is complete for the Tax Season, I CAN'T Celebrate my Birthday w/ them! Overall, I would DEFINITELY Recommend this Restaurant & Bring @ Least 1 of my Friends. While Different, it is STILL 1 of the BEST I have EVER been to!

We came here for dinner, and the restaurant wasn't as busy as we expected. -The place was clean, the meat quality was good, and the broth was just average. The fried appetizers were quite cold. #This was our first time dining here. A male staff member named B came over 2-3 times within the first 5 minutes just to ask if we were ready, but he didn't offer any help or assistance and wasn't friendly at all. When we asked about the difference between the original broth and the house spicy broth, his answer was simply "it just original and house spicy." which wasn't helpful. Throughout the meal, he never checked on us. The only attentive service we received was from the runners who refilled our broth and took care of our table. I didn't expect the service to be this disappointing. If you're planning to come, just be prepared.

This is my favorite all you can hot pot place ! They are consistently delicious and with a ton of options for all you can eat. I believe this is the only location that does all you can eat and the other Happy Lamb in Mountain View is a la carte. They have a ton of delicious sliced meat options from lamb, beef, chicken to seafood, fish balls, vegetables and chicken wings and bao buns for appetizers. For broth I love tomato broth because it's sweet, tangy, and similar to a tomato soup. there's also a soft serve machine in the back for chocolate, mixed, and vanilla soft serve with cones. For the price, so worth the money. Tons of high quality ingredients. It also doesn't get too busy so I don't ever wait too long. Flavor: 9/10 (most meats are delicious, broth can be a bit more potent but still great) Price: 8/10 (fair but they raised the price. Also sauce bar is $1.50 per person additional. Still more affordable than a la carte places) Service: 8/10 (can be slow at times but they are very busy with everyone's plates so please be patient! Always straight forward and fast yet friendly) Parking: 8/10 (it's a tight private parking spot but I always find parking.)

I went here for Thanksgiving and it was a pretty good experience. It took us 30 minutes to get a table but there are a few couches to sit on in the waiting area as well as a TV. I like the clean, modern, and stylish decor. As we were being led to our table, it made me realize that the building was so much bigger than it looks. We ended up ordering half house bone marrow broth and half spicy bone marrow broth. The broth smells amazing and is one of the best broths that I've had in a hot pot or shabu place. It has a lot of flavor without feeling too greasy or fatty. I really like the spicy bone marrow house broth. A few more things that I appreciate include giving us 4 spoons to work with, the induction heaters, and plenty of ventilation. The meats were pretty good and it felt like it was high quality. I also liked some of the non-meat items such as the winter melon and oyster mushrooms. Overall this was a pretty good experience and I can see myself returning.

I recently discovered this restaurant and ordered some premium lamb for my husband to go. He loved it and we plan on returning to enjoy the dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very well kept and I received excellent service. I look forward to our next visit.

The parking situation for this plaza however is a bit challenging. There is an entire lot reserved for restaurants next door and the plaza that it's in is packed to the brim. Definitely come early or risk circling the lot. Outside of the parking, the space inside is accommodating. There is lots of room for large parties. I will say service was a little scattered brained when we ate here though. They forgot one of our orders and we had to flag them down, a few times to get it to us. To add onto this we were the first two parties here so it maybe was just the staff warming up. As for the food, they gave us amazing amounts of banchan and their portions are generous. You could ask for more banchan if you enjoyed something but with all the food we had we didn't need more. My personal favorite dish was the marinated crab. We got the soy sauce one and it was a joy to eat. The meat was soft, juicy, and squeezed right out of the shell. Highly recommend trying this. One final note however, Master Oh's is a bit on the expensive end for something I felt like should be a standard meal. It wasn't a problem for us but it maybe something to consider if you're looking to dine on a budget. Overall would come back.

But when I saw that this far-from-ubiquitous chain had opened an outlet right near my home, I figured I'd try it. And I was pretty satisfied. First off, they have a lunch special, which is smaller than their regular combo. Second, you get two out of a choice of half a dozen shellfish: I picked clams, which are really easy to get the meat out from the shell, and crawfish, which aren't so difficult to extract the tail meat (the only edible part worth the trouble) from either. Comes with potato and/or corn. Third is that the food comes with not only a bib and a towelette, but clear plastic gloves. I put these on and felt no difficulty in eating off them, and they did keep my hands clean. I like that. Although there are two levels of spiciness below "mild," I found the mild to be not too spicy, and the Cajun seasoning was delicious, worth scooping up in my gloved hands after I'd finished the seafood. Not too large a meal - maybe next time I'll have a full combo - but tasty. Attentive service - someone was watching to see when I was done, and came over right afterwards.

They're good, but not the best I've had. With my combo 1, I got head-on shrimp and clams with the atomic sauce and mild spice. I heard the atomic was a combination aka Whole She-bang etc. which is what I normally get from seafood boil places. It was ok, nothing too special, very chunky sauce with lots of garlic. The mild spice, however, was really more like a medium spice as it only took a couple of shrimp to really feel it. For my head-on shrimp, most of the shrimp heads were already like detached from the body which defeats the entire purpose of it. They were also on the small side which I know it's by the pound but it's noticeable. It was very underwhelming in terms of that. The clams were good, not much to say about those other than they were absolutely drenched in the chunky sauce. Overall, this place is ok. Nothing really stood out to me compared to other seafood boil places.
