    Let's first talk about the food- WOW! This is our go to hot pot restaurant. The meats were delish . The veggies and sides were fresh and amazing. Lots of families come here and the sauce bar is clean and tidy. The dessert is the best - it's the rice rolls with brown sugar topping. Definitely recommend elastic waist pants for these gems ! The service is truly outstanding and the staff are all super helpful and polite ; even if your Mandarin is at below beginner level. The ambiance is clean and plenty of room for people to relax , eat and enjoy the company.

    since this spot opened I have been here countless times over the last few years, and my last visit was well over a year ago, I can't wait to come back to this spot. I love how you can split the soup, one side is super spicy (way too spicy for my taste) but the other side is not too much spicy which balances it out). Service has always been good. And the interior could get loud, but this spot has always been good

    This is a terrific hot pot establishment. They redid the interior since I last visited and it has a lighter, more pleasant atmosphere now. We picked the original and tomato soup broths and got the tong ho, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, a few cuts of beef and lamb, bamboo shoots, taro, kabocha squash, frozen tofu, lam skewers, and more. All of the ingredients were fresh and the meat was great quality. Top marks for plating and garnishes as well - I'm used to just getting unadorned platters of rolled up meat, so this is another level. The lamb skewers were grilled perfectly and not gamey. The sauce station had a rotating tray of small desserts and fruits. We also ordered a few other desserts like the taro yam balls, the fried rice cake with black sugar, and the mochi ice cream. Enjoyed all of them but the taro yam balls were my favorite. Shout out to Ben and Wayne who provided stellar service to us, checking in frequently and making sure we were enjoying everything. We came here for someone's birthday and it was a wonderful experience. This place gets busy in the evenings so I recommend showing up earlier. On Castro you have a ton of Chinese cuisine options at your fingertips but I think you can't go wrong with this place.

    Heard some good things about this place, but the food and experience were definitely not as what we had hoped. Service: We joined the waitlist on Yelp, and went to the hostess when it notified us check in with the host. She asked us to wait outside so we did, but nothing happened for 15 minutes. We checked again, and she gave a snippy response telling us we'd be called when our table was ready, and they were currently wiping down the table. Another 10 goes by, we ask if it was ready, and that's when she brought us to our table. We understood it was a busy Saturday night, but if you weren't ready for us, please don't notify us to check in. Food: Average hot pot, nothing too special in my opinion. We ordered four different meats and the "best of both worlds" soup. Is there suppose to be an insane amount of sichuan peppers in there?? We were surprised with how much peppers we pulled from the soup. A little extra that was also just not in our favor... There was a Christmas wreath decor on the wall held up by some tape. It fell onto our table while we were eating, and I think dealing with boiling hot soup, it's a hazard. Please make sure if you're putting up decor, that it's fully secured!!!

    This place was awesome. You don't typically get good service at hot pot but the staff here was really nice and accommodating. When I inquired about lamb taking a long time, it turned out I ordered the lamb bone versus slices of lamb. The server said he would adjust the order and got me sliced lamb right away. All the meat was very good quality and sliced perfectly plus the portions were big. The veggies were fresh and a good amount as were the noodles. We had the spicy and regular broth split. They were flavorful, not too salty or too spicy. There were many choices for making your dipping sauces. They do not have an AYCE option which was fine. We just couldn't order as many things since there were only two of us to share the items. I'll be back for the great selection of meats and the quality.

    We drove almost an hour to Mountain View for hotpot, and after the first place didn't work out, we decided to try this one because of the prices and good reviews. We were seated right away, which was nice, even though the place seemed full. We started from the wrong: our waiter gave us the menus and disappeared. So as first-timers we had no idea how their system worked. We eventually figured out that the broth is chosen first, and all meats and ingredients are purchased separately: different from other hotpot place we've tried. No one explained that small cups from the bar are $3 each either, which I wish we knew ahead of time. Once we got past the confusion, everything was actually very good. The food was fresh and delicious, and we enjoyed the non-spicy side of the broth (the spicy one was too hot to eat, according to my husband). I tried soju for the first time (wanted the green grape flavor, but they only had citrus and green apple). It was interesting but not really my thing. We paid around $80 plus tip, which feels normal for hotpot. Overall, this place is good, but the lack of guidance for new guests affected the experience. If there were no other options, we'd come back, but since we've had smoother hotpot experiences near us, we'd probably stick with that next time. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because of the initial confusion, not the food.

    We came on a Friday night and it was pretty busy. First time trying happy lamb and although it was good, we thought it was overpriced. Soup broth is good but nothing special. Presentation for the meat was nice but very extra. The sauce and dessert station was disappointing! They charge per person and we didn't find out until after that they recommend not to use sauce! Also there was no dessert.. only a few pieces left and some fruit

    Happy lamb, happy wife!

    Happy lamb, happy man (& woman)! Nothing fancy, just damn good hot pot! The meat is fresh, the soups are tasty (we got the best of both worlds / spicy + mild), and the service super nice and efficient! We love coming here with our dogs and enjoying the outdoor seating!

    I wish i could give full 5 stars. The food and flavor was amazing. I could confidently say that you can skip that 2$ Sauce bar because who actually AYCE the sauce bar (?). The fruits and the starters are really underwhelming and messy. But i'm sure that the broths are suppppper flavorful that you dont need any sauces ! My only complaint was since we came on a saturday, understanding that the place gets packed, we were fine with being seated at a makeshift table (the one along the entrance, without overhead vents); rather than waiting longer. This table was so small, there was barely any space for us on the table for anything except the hotpot. Our side dishes had to be on an extension and ofcourse it has the block the entrance. The whole dinning time i was nervous that someone will knock our food over. I may come back on a different day to hopefully have a better experience ! The broth is so good to goodbye

    Spicy and bone
    Bubu N.

    Definitely up top on my hotpot list. The broths are so perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The quality and marbling of the meats *chefs kith* I liked the lamb belly and the angus beef. Definitely recommend the fish fillets, they are so fresh. Cooked beautifully. The service was great. Our friends were recently engaged and the server played "Marry You" by Bruno Mars for us. I appreciated him making the night special for us! The ambiance is loud and bright. It gets busy. This might be my new go to spot when craving some hotpot.

    This place is crowded on Thursday night. At 6pm it was half full but 7 the place was packed! We ordered 2 diff broth, tomato and bone broth, both were delicious. Service was courteous and fast. Request for broth and water refill came timely. Presentation was awesome! Seafood was fresh, everything was pretty delicious. Didn't get to take closer and many pictures since I was seated on the inside booth. Will come again.

    My favorite hot pot place is SeaPot, so keep that in mind when reading this review! I was looking for an a la carte hot pot place because I wanted to control my portions for this meal, and Happy Lamb was open later than other places (10 PM on a Thursday night). No wait, got seated right away in a booth. Smaller two person tables have a portable gas stove on the table, but the main tables all have an induction stovetop-type thing. Menu prices rose since the last Yelp menu picture that was posted 7 months ago--ribeye went from $18.99 to $21.99, but it's still not high enough to make me grumble and not order it. Portion size for ~$5 enoki mushrooms is actually quite large, it's like getting 2-2.5 grocery store packages of enoki mushrooms in one serving. Good to share. The spinach was also a decent amount (but it's spinach, so it amounts to a tiny size once it's cooked of course haha). I absolutely loved the fresh thick noodles and highly recommend to anyone who loves chewy carbs!! Not as thick or as flat as a Biang Biang noodle, but still had the right consistency. I think the cumin in the spicy broth killed me... it was a bit much and too overpowering for my nose. For the house original marrow broth, I think the cardamom destroyed me too... so I felt like I couldn't fully enjoy the hot pot soup. I do wish there was a soup base that didn't have the strong, pungent spices (I don't like tomato broth, but maybe veggie mushroom could have been ok? It's probably not as thick or rich, though). I also wish there were ingredient descriptions of the other broths, not just the house ones. Pay for the sauce bar, which has all your staple sauces and dips for $1.99/person. Overall, it was a good experience and for: - 2 people for sauce bar - fresh, thick noodles - spinach - ribeye - enoki mushrooms It amounted to ~$70.

    Went for Weekday Lunch Special…read more Food - 5/5. Soup was sweet and sour with a bit of umami, mostly from the tomato. Its consistency was standard with a good mouthfeel. Pork chops were savory with a nice bite. The seasoning was just enough to elevate the rich flavor of the pork. The cabbage side dish had a delicious umami flavor that came from shrimp and the potato side dish was soaked in a soy-based sauce that gave it a strong taste. I was amused by the fact that the potatoes were actually french fries, meaning they are being creative with whatever they have on hand. The results were yummy side dishes, so in a way, it showcases their culinary skills. Rice was fluffy and the pickled mustard greens were a great palate cleanser. Service - 4/5. Quick and courteous service. They served the soup before I even ordered; I must have a 'orders lunch special' look to me. Value - 5/5.

    Came here at 6:30 on a Saturday. There was two lines out the door. One for people to place orders…read moreand one for people waiting to sit down. We didn't sit down until about 30 minutes later, but since we placed our food order already, the food comes out quickly. The kids didn't want spicy, so we ordered a Signature Beef Mifen and Signature Lamb with Skin Mifen with no spice. They have the same meaty soup base with wheat noodles, mustard greens, pickled radish, and fresh cilantro. Not sure if the noodles were hand-pulled but they had really nice chewiness. We ordered one Beef Brisket Mifen in Clay Pot (spicy). Similar toppings as the other soups and they throw in half a seasoned egg. Noodles in this one are the slightly slippery rice noodles. Mixed Two Vegetable Platter (mild spicy) - this was a nice complement to the noodles. Cucumbers were the typical sweet,tangy, garlicky kind. The other veggie was tofu skin. These were topped off with fried peanuts. Coconut Lava Balls - chewy outside. Inside was some kind of thickened coconut with sago. Really interesting and I thought the taste was pretty good. Overall, the food really hit the spot on a relatively cool day. Comfort food in a bowl.

    I have been here once a few years back, but this place has exploded in popularity relatively…read morerecently and I always see a huge line out the door. I finally got the chance to go again recently, but unfortunately I was honestly quite disappointed. The soup broth just didn't have very much flavor. It was very oily (which I didn't mind) but again, just not a ton of flavor. I did enjoy the noodles and the beef brisket fairly well. We also got the beef bun to share. I did enjoy the texture of the dough, but again, the shredded beef inside simply lacked a lot of flavor. The staff was friendly and we were able to sit down quickly (no line this time) but I probably wouldn't come back to be honest. Just didn't meet my expectations unfortunately.
