    So it looks like there have been some changes since the last time I was here. The place has a nice large self serve raw food section (Big Way style), and now has a hot food section (spring rolls, noodles, buns, deep fried chicken wings), which is similar to the Kingsway (Burnaby) location. Some may not like this, but personally I find it way faster to simply grab a pile of whatever I want, in the desired quantity. My only complaint is that they use dinner plates for this, which makes it quite easy to spill food during transport. Deeper large bowls would be more useful in this application. As of the time of writing, the AYCE dinner menu is flat rate all afternoon/evening (Kingsway starts at 2030), which is nice. However, this location has a "premium" menu (unlike Kingsway), which includes lamb, AAA beef, frozen oysters (limit 2 per person), fried bean curd rolls, and deep fried fish skins. Something to keep in mind. Service is a bit slow, as the staff were a bit swamped despite the restaurant being full. The premium items are served by the staff (ie not self serve). Ice cream cones are also staff only. Cones are unlimited though, which is nice. Other than that, the food selection is great. Everything is decently fresh. Friends and I ate a lot of animals with great prejudice. Food quality is still quite consistent. Would gladly eat here again if I'm in the area. Recommended.

    ---june 2025--- I think it's awesome they still have this ayce deal. It is now $21.99 and they've changed it to a self serve bar for everything except beef and lamb (which you still have to order via the servers). Now I can get exactly the amount I want and not get random amounts when I ask for 1 quantity haha. They've upped their cooked section so there is spicy veggie side dishes, fried mantou, yakisoba, and for some reason, cinnamon toast crunch. Everything is the same and still good. Super worth it

    I visited Happy Lamb during All-You-Can-Eat Lunch for only $21.99 and was throughly impressed! They have a generous self-serve bar filled with various vegetables, noodles and meats, from kambocha to fish balls to chicken pieces. Plus a hot food station for you to munch on while waiting for your order of lamb/beef slices. Service: Our server was very kind, helpful and patiently answered our questions. Atmosphere: Clean and modern with lots of families and groups! Food: We tried almost a bit of each item from the self-serve and hot food bar and everything was delicious in our half-half soup base (Half mushroom and half spicy). Price: Hands down, worth it! For only $21.99 per person (includes lamb meat), it's one of the best AYCE around! Would I return? YES Pro Tips: Ask for half-half soup and you can choose to mix and match! It doesn't need to be exactly the same soup as their menu. Also, their sweet potato balls are like desserts, I'd recommend leaving them till the end if you don't like to mix savoury and sweet together.

    Hotpot season is back, and we kicked it off at Happy Lamb Hotpot on West Broadway! We went early for dinner to dodge the crowd and tried the All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) Hot Pot option. We picked the Yin Yang Broth with the House Special Original and Chef's Special Tomato broths - both were ! What really impressed us? The new self-serve ingredients bar! You just grab your favourites from the fridge when you want them, which allows us to manage our portions and avoid food waste. There were so many choices--meat, veggies, seafood, noodles--and we didn't have to wait for anything! Bonus: there's even hot food included in the meal price! You must try the sesame balls - they were super chewy and soft. Don't forget to enjoy the soft-serve ice cream upon finishing their meal. We loved how fast, fun and affordable this new setup is! No more delays; grab and start cooking. We'll definitely be back, especially with those chilly fall nights ahead! Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! We think the kids would love it, which would be a special memory. Price: $30-$40 per person Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Finding parking in the neighbourhood is challenging while the Broadway Subway construction is underway. Tips: * Can build your sauce from their sauce station. * Serve good quality meat and fresh veggies. * Charge extra for wasting food at the AYCE dining option. Would I Return: Yes ‍

    The weather was cold outside so it felt like a good time to go for hot pot. We decided to try the Happy Lamb Hot Pot in Vancouver, on Broadway. They have a $20.99 All You Can Eat lunch special from Mon. - Fri., 11:30am - 4pm. Last year we had tried the Happy Lamb Hot Pot in Burnaby and very much enjoyed our meal there. It was more expensive, but we were given a wider variety of foods to choose from. There was meat, veggies and tons of seafood. This time, at the Vancouver location, there was no seafood. For $20.99, we were given meat and veggies. While I do eat seafood, I actually tend to prefer going Vegetarian or even Vegan a lot of the time, so the lack of seafood wasn't a problem for me. My husband however, would have preferred to have some seafood on the table. He'd have been willing to pay a higher price to be able to eat seafood, but that option wasn't even available at this location. While seafood would have improved this experience for some people, we were still very happy with the food that we did get and all of us left with very full tummies. For $20.99, the food is very reasonable and if you're someone who can do without seafood in your hot pot then this is a great deal and I'd highly recommend it! Service: Good Parking: Paid parking on the street 1788 W. Broadway, Vancouver, BC

    We are from socal and have a variety of hotpot. In Vancouver we wanted to find an AYCE and happy lamb popped up. It was a great experience all around. Our server was very attentive and kind and explained the menu to us. She also showed us her recommendations. The cuts of meat, veggies, and other hotpot items were of great quality. The broth was also very yummy and warming for the cold evening we came in to eat. I highly recommended this place if you want a quality AYCE experience .

    Love making my own sauces. Highly recommend the sesame paste, sesame oil, cilantro, fermented bean paste, with chili oil.

    Stopped by this weekend for lunch and was greeted with enthusiastic and friendly service. The quality of meat, veggies, and such all remain very good and this location seems to find a way to keep things very clean. Robo-server is on top of it's game and brings another level of charm to the business. Some might say it is taking a job away, but I see it as an assistant to a real server. Someone still needs to load it and be prepared to intervene when/if things get weird. I really have nothing bad to say about Happy Lamb. It's a decent value and the original broth is so amazingly delicious.

    Been a while since I last actually dined in an establishment (with COVID) and also been quite a while since I last had hot pot. Purchased the Groupon for a set menu for 2 for $40 after checking with a fellow Yelper (Chelsey H) on their COVID compliance. It is a bright and clean room with multiple seating options and high ceilings. They have plexiglass separating the booths and the table seating is quite spread out and socially distanced. There is free 2 hr street parking around the side streets and pay parking on Burrard and also Broadway. For the soup base, we opted for half original and half spicy...both were quite good. My dipping sauce was a combination of soy, peanut and chilli sauce...definitely had plenty of kick. And then they bring out the food....it was basically all you can eat as I could eat no more after we had finished. This is the set menu: Kimchi Premium Lamb Shoulder Marbled Beef Chicken White Prawn Cod Filet Pork and Shrimp Dumplings Assorted Meatball Platter Fish Tofu Cabbage and Lettuce U-Don Noodles Lychee Goji Berry Pudding The food was great as was the service, the servers were friendly and attentive. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Happy Lamb Hot Pot.

    I'm not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews. The waitress was fantastic, attentive, and gave great suggestions. We actually came on a Groupon which was there for a set menu below: Soup base: Original, Spicy, Half and Half, or Vegetarian Starter: Szechuan-Style Kimchi Premium Lamb Shoulder (15 Slices) Marbled Beef (15 Slices) Tender Chicken Fillet White Prawn Cod Fish Filet Pork and Shrimp Dumplings Assorted Meatball Platter Fish Tofu Leafy Vegetables U-Don Dessert: Lychee Goji Berry Pudding We opted for spicy but probably could've done the half and Half so half spicy and half original but oh well! It was delicious and not too spicy. Kimchi was very unique! Not like Korean which made it special. I liked it a lot. OMG THE MEAT. The lamb should and marble beef were so thin and delicious in the soup. Dipped into the mixture of sauces they were *chefs kiss*. We loved the variety of sides for the hot pot such as tofu, shrimp, the cod, little meat paste balls and the leafy vegetables like cabbage but did think the regular lettuce was a little bit funny. We would go back again because hot pot is such a fun and enjoyable experience even during covid. It was delicious and the beer that they collaborate with Old Abbey Ales with was refreshing and delicious.

    Good amount of food and they even give you a coupon for your next visit! The food is delivered to you buy their little robot which was cool but sometimes it left the table early and have to be chased down. The services was quick even though it was busy but with that said, once we got cooking there was no need for further assistance anyways. The sauce area was busy because everyone has to put on gloves before scooping.

    It has been awhile since I have had the opportunity to indulge in hotpot, so when I passed by this Happy Lamb Hotpot location on Broadway, it mentally stuck to my "must-try" list. Admittedly, I'm the type of person that loves to look up a restaurant's website in hopes of seeing the menu and figuring out (in advance) what I could potentially order. The only downside: the website was hard to find and I had to rely on photos of old menus on Yelp. It let me know the place was all you can eat, even if the prices are slightly outdated. The boyfriend and I arrived a little earlier in the dinner hour (only one other table was filled at that time) so we were able to sit down right away. The restaurant was clean, airy and bright. The setup seems to be the standard "All-You-Can-Eat" hotpot, paying per person, plus the cost of soup base. We chose the half original, half spicy combo. It also seems to be the standard AYCE hotpot place that lets you order two up to two rounds (which we did) which probably pushed us to our dining time limit. By the end of the evening I highly suspected the pot was larger than the stovetop; it was quite amusing to watch only one half of the soup boil, but not the other half. I gave up on trying to figure out the high end technology and we ended up periodically rotating the pot 180 degrees to let the other side boil. What a wonderful experience this was! We got to a smorgasbord of items: shrimp & beef balls, lamb & beef slices, udon & taro noodles, tofu puffs, fish tofu (my favourites), muscles, and different kinds of mushrooms and veggies! There are plenty of choices under the AYCE portion; by the end of the meal we literally waddled out to the restaurant. What I appreciated the most, was the service. The staff were always pleasant and friendly, and by the end of the evening they were running around serving multiple tables of happy patrons. When they heard this was our first time having hotpot (in a long time) they offered to give us a small sampling of all available condiments: peanut sauce, satay sauce, soy sauce, cilantro, peanuts, garlic! Bonus: we also received coupons for our next visit. Definitely will be back the next time I have a hotpot craving!

Not sure if it's under new ownership now or what but the experience was awful. Just wanted to get some food to go and was filling my bowl with ingredients and the guy was watching me like a hawk. He then tried accusing me of pushing the food down into the bowl and said there would be an additional $10 charge if it needs a second container. I wasn't worried about that because I have gone there many times before and stacked my bowl much higher than it was. But then when he went to put the food in the container which already was 1/3 full of rice that I didn't even want he didn't even fill it up all the way and put the smallest amount in a second container and said I need to pay $10 for the second container of food. I was so in disbelief that all I wanted to do was get a refund and go somewhere else but I decided to just take the one initial container that wasn't even full that I paid $20 for and just leave. I did try to have a talk with the guy and explain that the container was not even full and that I never asked for rice but he started getting really aggressive and yelling. Not sure how much longer this place will last with the way they are treating their customers

From the moment we walked…read morein, the staff were incredibly kind and patient, walking us through the entire build-your-bowl process since it was our first visit. We truly appreciated how welcoming and helpful they were. We were impressed by the wide variety of fresh and healthy ingredient options. There are so many fresh toppings and sauces to choose from, and it was so easy to fully customize our bowl from base to protein to toppings. It is not a preset menu spot, which makes it even more fun. We also loved how vegetarian- and vegan-friendly the options are. The portion size was surprisingly generous (more than enough for us)! For the quality and price, it was honestly very impressive. Our bowls were served hot straight from the grill, and we felt like we were watching a cooking show as the staff prepared everything right in front of us. We could literally feel the heat from where we were standing. Huge thumbs up to the hardworking team managing both prep and grilling. Everything tasted fresh and flavourful without being overly greasy. We even had leftovers for lunch the next day, and it still tasted amazing. We also loved their healthy drink options and frozen yogurt. Learning that their entire menu is seed-oil free and refined-sugar free made us appreciate the concept even more. The space is clean, bright, and has a super welcoming atmosphere. It is a great option when you want something warm, hearty, and customizable instead of cold salads or typical fast food. Great value for money and protein options for everyone. We truly think Goodbowl needs more locations in Vancouver. Highly recommend. 100% would come back again. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $30-$40 spent per person (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 1/5 Be patient! It is located in a busy plaza with lots of restaurants and shops. Tips: * Go on a weekday if you can. It is a bit easier for first-timers to learn the process. * Ask questions. The staff are more than happy to explain the build-your-bowl steps. * Do not underestimate the portion size. * Pair your bowl with their drinks or frozen yogurt if you are extra hungry.

I ordered a Regular Bowl ($15.95) with egg noodles, various fresh veggies, hormone-free chicken, and teriyaki sauce. I feel that I could've asked for more sauce though as I prefer more saucy noodles. I loved how the ingredients and toppings were all made on a grill top in front of you and it is served sizzling hot! The fruit smoothies ($8.65) were such a treat too! We chose the Green Machine (spinach, apple, kale, pineapple, banana, low-fat vanilla froyo) and the Classic (strawberry, banana, orange, low-fat vanilla froyo). We enjoyed how refreshing and natural it tasted. They also have fresh fruit frozen yogurt and we picked a small size ($4.95). We picked a strawberry banana and blueberry flavour. This was pretty good but I felt like it could've been creamier or blended even more. Still hit the spot though. If we want nutritious food and fresh ingredients next time we're in the Richmond area, we'll be returning to Goodbowl!

As for the food itself, I inspected the chicken pieces and they were cooked through and through. There were some veggies (carrots and cabbage, mostly). And, as I requested, I got only a bit of rice. Unfortunately, everything was doused in a teriyaki sauce that I wasn't too keen on (mostly because there was so much of it. But also it just wasn't my cup of tea). I ate 1/3 and threw the rest out.
