    This hot pot place is always busy with a lineup, which already says a lot. Price-wise it's quite reasonable compared to other hot pot spots. The food is self-serve, with plenty of options to choose from, and the sauce bar has a wide variety of condiments to mix your own flavors. The environment inside is nice and comfortable. My tip: join the Google waitlist before you go -- it'll save you time standing in line!

    I remember this spot being really good a few years ago but I'd give it a 7/10 for the worth but the food was a 6/10. They have a special during lunch which is $30 including broth, ayce, unlimited soft drink and open to the dinner section, soft serve ice cream. Everything is self serve, except the beef and lamb Meats, you have to order through the server. I found all the meats, to be chewy and not good quality. Broth was lacking flavour as well. The self service concept is cool but just felt the service was lacking a lot as well. Tables are pretty well spaced out. they have individual and big pots. Good variety of ingredients to choose from the servers filled them up at good times. I don't like how the sauce bar is in the corner, it gets crowded sometimes.

    Tip: Make a reservation online, and you'll be able to see the number of people ahead of you and estimate when to arrive at the restaurant! It could get quite busy if you walk in and wait for a table. The restaurant's ambiance was modern, with a high-tech feel enhanced by the robot servers. I upgraded to their deluxe menu, which included cooked and raw lamb, Angus beef, etc. It was well worth it. The cooked lamb was one per person and tasted so good - so fresh and well-seasoned. These items were delivered to you by robots to your seats. For the regular items, you'll walk up to the open fridge/freezer to select your own meat, seafood, and vegetables. There's also warm food item such as chicken wings and dough bread. My favorite item was definitely the shrimp paste. Everything tasted so good in my bone broth, and the sauce I created made it even more flavorful. I tried my partner's spicy soup, and it was surprisingly really good (not as spicy that it would be intolerable compared to other hot places I've been to). I highly recommend the spicy soup over the bone broth.

    My new favourite hotpot spot in Scarborough! It's super affordable, and they've got a good variety of food items to mix into the soup, from meat balls to dumplings to handmade noodles. I love that almost everything (aside from the meat) is self served so you don't have to wait for a server - unlimited diet coke is actually one of my dreams come true. And the cooked food is a great touch! I could eat a million of their dough buns with condensed milk. I'll be coming here whenever I have a hotpot craving from now on.

    One of the last self serve hot pot buffets in Toronto. Excellent food selection and excellent fast service. Come here for your protein gains. Won't disappoint. After 8 PM it is 29.99$ all inclusive for soup base and pop which is a steal.

    It's a great place to eat if you want to explore more authentic food and experience. This place serve hot soup of different varieties. From spicy to clear broth. For a fair price you can have a pot of your own to cook your vegetables, meat or seafood. People here are very friendly. The service if very quick. It's a nice setting and parking is ample.

    We went to Happy Lamb Hot Pot specifically because they have individual pots. Just like all other hot pot places, you get to choose your broth and pot size (small or large). You can try 2-3 different types of broth if you choose the large pot. Broth selections include clear broth, mushroom broth, curry broth, hot sour & spicy broth, tomato broth, etc. I tried the mushroom broth (non-spicy) and it was pretty delicious. The interior is gorgeous. Other things that I really like about this restaurant (other than the ability to have individual pots for everyone on the table, instead of one big shared pot for everyone): 1) The "grab yourself" style of choosing ingredients - I like being able to walk up and see all the available ingredients, instead of ordering from a sheet of paper or from the table. There are some special ingredients that you can order, but all of the ingredients that we need and want are already available in the self-serve section (all the vegs, seafood, etc.). 2) It has additional add-ons and side dishes that are not always available at other hot pot places (such as youtiao, fried milk buns (mantou), fried peanuts, some side veggie salads, seaweed salad, fried peanuts, crackers, etc.). 3) Great selection of seafood and veg options - Fresh squid, giant shrimps, mussels, fish balls and vegan / vegetarian ingredients (various kinds of tofu and beancurds, fresh vegetables). 4) Unlimited fruits (mainly orange slices) for dessert, along with other petit desserts (mango mousse, mini cream puffs, mini square cakes). 5) The cute robot that comes and delivers trays of food (if you order something extra that isn't part of the self-serve section). 6) Restaurant is quite clean and service is pretty good (easy to get servers' attention when needed). It gets very busy on weekends and around dinner time, so making a reservation ahead of time is highly recommended, otherwise you'd have to wait in line for a table. They have a system where you can put in your contact info, and it tells you how many groups are ahead of you waiting for a table. They have a 2-hour seating limit policy, which they enforce quite strictly. The restaurant itself is in a plaza with free parking available, but it does fill up quickly, especially during busy hours and on weekends.

    We came here hoping to enjoy some yummy hotpot with the family and I was craving it. The selection of food is pretty good, and $28.99 per person is the basic selection. If you want premium meat, there's $5 per person added. We chose the premium package, but was disappointed by the meat on the second round. The first round was pretty good, but the second round the meat is so fatty and low quality. It seems that they have "forgotten" that we paid for the premium package. We didn't bother to change it, but I was regretting to take the upgrade. They had some precooked buns and shrimp crackers, which both tastes old and stale. The sauce selection is okay, just the basics. Food selection was pretty good, they had all kinds of veggies and noodles, as well as shrimp, fish and some seafood. The clear soup base has a very distinct smell, which was hard to ignore. I think there's a lot of herbs in the the broth, which not everyone can take it. The service was very...minimal. I mean, it is self serve all you can eat, at the end of the day, you pay what you get. I'm not sure if I would go back, but having to try it was definitely an experience.

    This was our first visit to celebrate my son's birthday. We were lucky to book a table last minute for Sunday evening. The price is reasonable for what you get. Lots of variety and you get to pick what you want from the back of the restaurant. It is nicely laid out and there was a good selection of sauces too. There are two sizes for the hot pot. It comes in an individual pot or communal good for 4 people. This restaurant has a robot that brings out the food which was very neat. The food selection was really good and tasted fresh. We ordered lots of beef & lamb,. They even had frog legs!! The restaurant was clean and the service was good. We will definitely be back!!

    This is an AYCE place for Hot Pot! Covid19 checks are in place to check in, provide proof of vaccination, hand sanitizing stations, and waiters wearing face masks. The lamb sized hot pot was fantastic and came with many large lamb bones with meat on it. The waiters are very quick to provide food and the food quality is good. There is also a place to create your own sauce and sanitize your hands afterwards.

    Easily my favourite Happy Lamb Hot Pot location across the GTA. I have visited this location a few times on the weekend during their dinner service. I found this location to be very clean, decorated nicely, and had a better setup for choosing toppings. I definitely prefer their buffet-style setup over the paper order form and having a server bring it to you. With the buffet-style setup, I can pick how much or how little I want of a topping, which is nice if you want to try something new or different. I also think their sauce station is better maintained here, with less cross-contimation.

    The service was great. The food quality was good. I really enjoyed that all you can eat. The only thing was the bill Hass to be paid one setting. The food texture was fresh. It was also dessert that was offered to us at the end of the meal which is included all in total. It cost about $40 per person great for one time event.

Both come out on sizzling plates and very hot, so be sure to wait to take the first bite, as tempting as it may be! The restaurant does fill up fast during peak hours so be prepared to wait in those time.

All the soups were salty but not particularly fragrant or super flavourful. As someone who loves soup noodles, I was not impressed. The best part of the meal was the ice cream. They had a seasonal flavour, ube, which was good but on the sweeter side. The matcha ice cream was great - and my favourite part of my meal. Our bowls ranged from $18 to $30 per a bowl. It's an additional $2 to add cheese and $3 do a bowl of rice. The restaurant can get very busy on a weekend evening, and noisy!

I'd absolutely go back for the popcorn chicken and the minced-pork rice bowl again.
