    The way people eating here blowing nose at table

    The soup broth has no taste. The service is okay nothing wonderful. The place is filthy with people blowing their nose at table. And talking the scandal off showing there dirty feet. Don't waste you time or money coming here

    Self serve

    Food/drinks: biased review cause hot pot is my favorite food, so I'm already happy before I've tried it lol Solid selection of veggies, seafood, etc in their self serve bar! I also like the other treats like white fungus papaya soup and breads Liked the original broth and tomato broth was just okay Would definitely come back again Wouldn't get pork, strange flavor Atmosphere: cute! Very clean and lots of seating, got lucky with a table because I came on weekday! But normally, I heard the wait is long Service: quick! Price: very very affordable!! AYCE!

    Such a lovely bustling environment! It was quite full on a Saturday night but we still only had to wait less than 10 min as a party of 2. You can add yourself to the Yelp waitlist kiosk check in right by the front, and there's space to wait inside while you wait for a text. Once they call your name/text they ask you which AYCE you like, and then seat you and you can pick your soup base(s), and protein. Everything else is self serve! Including all the veggies and other proteins, and sauces and drinks and hot apps. The dumplings are VERY good, very crispy. They give you a bib upon request which I really needed - amateur move of mine of wearing all white to hot pot. They also re-up you on protein very quickly. My only sadness is that they don't have enoki mushroom or fish roe fishball, and that would truly be the only deterrent I have for coming back. Super reasonably priced at $28 for AYCE!

    Spicy broth and mild broth

    This was my first time trying happy lamb at this location. This location is much bigger than the one in Chinatown. They have more buffet options for you to choose from. I enjoyed the lo mein noodles, the fried rice and the chicken wings. They also had fresh white rice that was excellent to pair with our hot pot meats. Along with edamame, a multitude of sauces and soy sauce. This location was all you can eat for real. The broth was consistent in taste it was good. They have so many drink options and dessert options. I can't wait to go back. My favorite was the lo mein noodles. That was my first time ever trying them. They were delicious! At this location, the service was much better. The employees were way more nicer and accommodating to your needs. The cleanliness of this location was up to par. I absolutely will be back for more!

    I enjoyed this hot pot so much.It will be my new AYCE hot pot place with the prices being decent the meat quality being great and the selection of AYCE ingredients is so broad.Wish they had lotus root.You have to select the meat first band you only get one time to but that wasn't a big deal for me as the service was good and the restaurant felt so calming.would come back here again!!

    It's worth the price if you love meat and seafood! The wait is not too bad at all even they are busy

    Come hungry and come early. For peak days and hours expect to wait. Once you enter be sure to put your name on the waitlist. Everyone must be present to be seated. Happy Lamb has a good selection of hot pot favorites. From your classic fish balls, vegetables, thin sliced meats, and the interesting offal (various organs) selections. They also had good hot bar appetizers such as fried dumplings, fries, various fried pancakes, and more. They also have hot desserts like steam buns with sweet fillings, dessert soups, and fried buns with condensed milk. The cold desserts are typically slices of cake and fruits. The sauce bar has a comprehensive selection for your mixing needs. Happy Lamb doesn't have the same choices everyday. They rotate out certain vegetables and meats. Some days they might enoki mushrooms and some times they won't. It's a lively place, people will be getting up to get refills on food and drinks. It can get quite messy at the drink section. Overall it's a tasty option that doesn't break the bank. No frills type of vibe. Go to your table order your broth (pro tip: order the best of both worlds broth and choose whichever two broths you want, you do not have to get its default choices) and then go get your ingredients. Certain tables also have seats where you can put your jackets in (that hot pot smell is powerful). Come hungry and gobble it all up.

    This review is for weekend dinner. Overall this is a solid option for hot pot. I came here on a whim because the spot I originally wanted to go to had a 3+ hour wait. I walked in with a party of 6 around 6:20pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately. However by 8pm there was quite a long line of people waiting for tables. I'd recommend getting here before 7pm to avoid a wait. This is AYCE. You can pay extra to order from the "VIP menu" - I recommend because you get wagyu, fish ball roe, among other things. You get the table for 90 tables and it actually is plenty of time. Aside from the VIP menu, all other toppings are self serve. They have a good selection of veggies, meatballs, noodles and they have a sauce bar. Soup bowls are for the table, not individual, but you can split and do half and half. Meal comes with soft serve ice cream.

    Amazed by this place! I knew of this hotpot place as it's been opened for a while now but did not try till now since there's so many hotpot places in downtown flushing. They have diff sets of AYCE, from $21.99 weekdays for vegetables, sidebar and drinks, to $25.99 weekdays to include meat. These are their discounted promotion prices, which is a great price already. There's an additional promotion of $20.99 for those ages 55+ (bring your id). They had a variety of meat selection, but was blown away by how much variety the side bar/vegetables had. They had a range of fishballs (beef ones always the best!), tripe, tofu, fish, noodles, mushrooms, a good amount of varied greens, some fried food, and a little desserts. We went in on a weekday at 12:45pm and were seated quickly. Service was also quick as you only order meats and alcoholic drinks through them. It seemed like everyone spoke mandarin, but unsure since I didn't try English there at the time. Place is also very clean and new considering it's been opened for a while now. It's super spacious with numerous tables of ~4ppl a table. Note that you can set the level of heat of the hotpot at the side of the table towards the hall. All the vegetables and meat cuts were great except what I'm assuming to be beef. I know there are fatty beef but this one was like 80-90% fat, in which the English menu doesn't list it to be fatty beef as well. Their desserts also seem to be lacking. The coffee sponge cake is pretty safe if you do want something sweet tho. But overall, everything else was amazing in my opinion!!

    This is the best affordable ayce hotpot. I recommend the house special ayce. Beyond that, it's not really worth it for the price. Value ayce is best for the vegetarians since there is plenty of veggies in the buffet/cold bar. I have gotten all three tiers.

    One of my favorite hotpot spots in Flushing @happylambhotpot truly hits the spot every time! They serve an 8-hour slow-cooked bone marrow broth that's rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. It's all-you-can-eat hotpot with a premium selection of lamb, Wagyu, seafood, and more -- all freshly sliced in-house. With over 100 locations in 11 countries, Happylamb is a global favorite, and the Flushing location is a gem. They even sell their take-home soup kits on Amazon so you can recreate the experience at home! Unbeatable price, huge variety, and top-notch quality -- easily the best AYCE hotpot in Flushing. You'll love it here as much as I do!

    Jennifer A.

    Food is always good here. We always have an amazing experience. You can never leave hungry, if you do, you did something wrong. Sometimes their bubble tea machines are on, sometimes they are off. Their dinner desserts are always different. When we went, they had steamed taro buns, mango mousse, edamame and fried chips. Staff is attentive and busy at all times. This is our favorite ayce hot pot buffet! We don't go anywhere else.

    Its not all you can eat. And its open year round.

I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

The restaurant had a very unique interior that felt very authentic. We ordered the dual flavor pot with mild and tomato broths. They were both delicious, but we especially liked the tomato broth. Be aware that even the mild broth is relatively spicy. We also decided to pay an additional $1.95 each for the self serve dipping sauce station, which we definitely found to be worth it. We ordered napa cabbage, wide potato noodles, potato slices, enoki mushrooms, milky beef, streaky pork, black fish, and beef tongue. We found this to be a lot of food for two people, and the final bill came out to around $110. Our favorite meats were definitely the beef tongue and the milky beef. The milky beef was so tender, and we liked the slight chew of the beef tongue. The black fish and the streaky pork did not stand out as much, and I would want to try something new next time. This was definitely one of the best hot pot experiences I've ever had. You can tell that they put a lot of care into laying out the ingredients, and the staff are very attentive at adding hot water to the broth regularly.

The service has been great every time we been here. The sauce station carries some snacks as well, such as pigs ear, seaweed salad, peanuts. I think this may change from time to time. I also recall them charging everyone $2 to access the sauce station when they first opened, but I didn't see that on my bill last week.

    'GO SOMEWHERE ELSE' We were extremely disappointed with our…read morerecent visit to this restaurant. Having traveled from Pennsylvania based on positive experiences Ive been here few times before, I expected a much better experience. The service felt off from the start due to I was speaking Thai and waiter/waitress likely judged that I do not speak English. My husband heard the whole conversation and it bothered him at the moment led him to feel unwelcome, but I told my husband that I don't care what they think so we can enjoy our meal. The overall atmosphere was rather strange for an all-you-can-eat buffet. The total bill for two adults came to ~$74 We ordered two sets of pendant bread () for takeout, and we left a $10 cash tip on the table. Almost immediately after placing the cash down, the waitress approached and asked if it was a TIP making a VISIBLY DISPLEASED expression before walking away. As we were leaving, I was confronted by the owner or head manager (me and him spoke Thai) inquired what was wrong with the service. He stated that the waitress had complained about the TIP amount less than 10%. We explained that we had not included the approximately $30 takeout order in our tip calculation, especially considering it was a buffet restaurant. A quick calculation would have shown that the $10 TIP represented roughly 15% on the dining portion alone, and the waitress's primary contribution during our visit was simply providing water and choice of 'appetizers'. I gave them 5 stars on google and yelp 6 years ago (going to delete it) I have always recommended this place to my boss and colleagues from NY, NJ to PA But I will have to retract my recommendation to them after this. I REPEAT 'DO NOT COME HERE' We will NOT be returning. While the food itself was decent but the UNGRATEFUL ATTITUDE and handling of the situation completely ruined what had otherwise been a pleasant meal. I REPEAT DO NOT COME HERE!
