“High quality meat, love to come here for a feast. The staff is nice and quick. Can't ask for more.”
“It's my BIRTHDAY!! My daughter and son ( Ricky) took me to dinner, I requested this place... knowing my meal would be fun 🥰 saving my children money! What a FEST! We enjoyed the abundance of quality meets ( beef wagu, ribeye, lamb shank) vegetables, seafood, dessert all types of breads! It was actually my Server birthday as well, Ke Ke! She explained the menu and helped us to made the right choice. Thank you to everyone made my birthday extra SPECIAL! YUMMY!”
“Our server was so informative and answered all of our questions. Even helped with a vegetarian guest feel welcomed.”
“I've been to a few of their other locations around the Chicago area, so when I found myself nearby, I figured I'd give this one a try. It turned out to be really good! The buffet has plenty of options, including fried rice and a bunch of other tasty dishes. I know it's not quite the same as it used to be, but I actually like the changes they've made because there are more choices now. The only downside is the parking—it can be a bit of a pain since you have to find street parking and pay for it. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely come back.”
“Loved the whole experience. Tons of very yummy food for a great price!”
“Ashley is one of the best server I’ve had all year this place I highly recommend the food is great the service is great I love it Al will be back soon!!!!!!”
“We had a really unique and fun experience at Happy Lamb Hot Pot. One thing we really appreciated was the layout. If you have a larger group, they offer semi-private rooms with their own tables and two separate hot pots, which is great for variety and conversation. For smaller parties, there are more open tables with a single pot in the middle. It works well for both big gatherings and smaller groups. The broth options were all solid, with good variety, and the meat selection was strong. They offer two pricing tiers, one for basic meats and another for premium meats, which gives you flexibility depending on what you are looking for. Everything is unlimited, so you can keep adding as you go. The vegetable, tofu, and add-ins bar was buffet-style in the center of the restaurant, making it easy to customize your pot. There were also several noodle options, which we liked. In addition, they had a hot food station with items like spring rolls, pretzel bites, chow mein, and fried rice. This was a nice touch, especially while waiting for items in the pot to cook. Drinks were self-serve fountain drinks, and at the end you can grab small individual ice cream cups for dessert. They also offer specialty drinks like smoothies for an additional cost. We were there celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and the private room really elevated the experience. There was a TV in the room, and she was able to connect her phone and play her own music, which she loved and made it feel more personal. Overall, the service was very friendly and welcoming. For us, it was more about the experience than a place we would frequent regularly, but if you enjoy hot pot or are looking for something interactive and different, this is a great option. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting a solid hot pot experience.”
“Favorite hot pot place!! This was my 3rd visit and I prefer this location over the one in Chinatown. Food is always amazing, i recommend getting the half and half broth (original and spicy).”
“Great selection of Salated makings, easy to prepare your food on the hot pot tables. Even offers bibs. And, great desert selections. Great place to have large groups in a reserved room, depending on group size.”
