A buffet and hot pot combination can be a dream come true for those who enjoy having the ability to…read moremix and match or experiment with ingredients, control how it's all cooked, then go back for more. But, as Happy Lamb Hot Pot demonstrates, things that are great in theory aren't always that way in practice, Here's how it works. The first step is to choose a soup base from about half a dozen varieties. You can have one, two or three different types in the same pot (although adding a third will cost extra). Then you choose meat: chicken, beef, lamb or pork. They also offer some premium cuts of beef for an additional fee. Once those are ordered, you visit the buffet where there's a wide selection of seafood, vegetables, sauces and even some foods that don't go into the hot pot, like chicken wings, sesame balls and fried rice. While I loved the fact that there were so many options, it quickly became apparent that some were much better than others. For example, the chicken and lamb were fine, but the non premium beef we got was not the best quality. The seafood and vegetables from the buffet were fresh and plentiful. However, the items that were not hot pot-able left something to be desired, like spring rolls that were cold in the middle, or dried out, overcooked fried dumplings. Our group was big enough to use separate hot pots at our table for a total of 4 soups. The Thai Tom Yum soup base was hands down the best and most flavorful of them all. The worse was the original marrow broth, which had a pungent sour flavor that basically made it inedible. I'm sure through trial and error a fantastic meal could be constructed from what's available here. But, for the price, I won't be in big hurry to return and make the effort.

It has a specialty coffee, Boba place, it has a Tokyo restaurant with sushi and other specialties, it has dim sum restaurant, and then in the back it has the most amazing hot pot I've had in recent years. My favorite thing about the hot pot is that everybody gets their own individual pot, and there are many different kinds of broth to choose from everything from a miso base, to a Tom ka base, to a laska base. They even have one that is super spicy. It's basically one price for hot, and you can choose as much meat, pork beef. What have you or you can go back and get a lot of the vegetables, they have noodles they have so many different traditional hot pot additives they even have spices so you can change the broth the way you want it and they have sauces that you can dip your meat in after you've cooked them in the pot, and many different varieties of those. They even have traditional desserts that are part of the menu. I am definitely going back. Such a cute space.

It definitely was less busy than the other place but also the ac seems to be barely working there. So it'll be like you're in Vietnam. Honestly if they opened the door as it cooled down later that night it would've been good. We got their filet mignon pho and it had tons of noodles and lots of meat. The pho broth was also flavorful and more on the sweet side. I split the pho with my mom and baby. (They don't eat much). I liked it cause the meat didn't include tripe or tendons like other places. It kept it simple. There was meat balls (bò viên), bò tái, and the filet mignon which was tender. We would come back if in the area and wanting pho late at night. Note they don't serve certain dishes on the menu after a certain time. They didn't have bánh bèo or the nước mắm wings when we went around 10:45 pm. It also takes a bit longer for food to come out than but I can live with that since their hours are more extended and potentially less staff at the later hours

For those that have a strong smoke aversion like I do within a restaurant, this is a huge red flag. I took a couple of steps in and had the entire cafe of forty to fifty people staring at me, as well as the hostess/waitress that looked at me with a 'WTF do you want' look. Aside from the chilly reception at the door and cigarette stench that tinged the nostrils, the venue was not lit very well. In fact, it could be mistaken for a nightclub that had just dimmed the lights really low, yet why in the middle of the day? And seriously, why do you have a sign up that says "no smoking" when half of your patrons are doing exactly that? Although this is advertised as a cafe, I really felt that I walked into a dirty, stinky bar venue. Given the previous reviews that I had read about Cafe Boulevard prior to venturing out and trying it, I honestly thought that I had the wrong place. I wound up walking out (the only DFW establishment that I've ever walked out of), particularly when I realized that I more than likely wouldn't be welcomed here if I chose a table to sit at. I'm quite sure that this venue is a pretty good place for those that could mind a heavy cigarette stench (not exaggerating) or rude/condescending service. Yet if I have a beignet & coffee craving next time, I'll just save that for a New Orleans-based venue that has far better customer service + cleaner restaurant environment.

Besides...my only sister (older sister) used to eat Chinese food with me in some Asian places/restaurant and she loved HK style foods! My only sister passed away 2 years ago from Leukemia (blood Cancer)...my whole world cut into pieces.... I wished my sister still alive so I could have took her to this place, and I'm definitely a 100% sure she would love this place!
