Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Sacramento

It was nice and mellow. I really liked the sweet potato cooked in the broth. For me, it would be every so often because they don’t have the options of food that I prefer, but it was a nice experience.

Great food and options and staff is super friendly and nice ! Def recommend and will be coming back

Food was great. I noticed the price has jumped since I last went. Sauces and drinks are extra. Meat selection is pretty decent. The garlic beef was the best one. Recommend getting the half-and-half broth .

Second time trying Happy Lamb (the first time was in Austin) - and I prefer this branch because of the booths, which makes the hotpot experience more private! The one in Austin has a pretty open layout and too cramped as if I was sharing a table with strangers. The ambiance was also terrible there as they’re blasting EDM.

We got the premium meats and didn’t disappoint - wish we could’ve gotten at least two servings of the “wagyu” - there were three of us and they limit one serving per two people.

I’m only rating the hotpot and the sides. I highly recommend getting the half and half - the best of both worlds! The white broth is probably the best I’ve had and I’ve been to several countries in Asia (although the selection of seafood etc is better there). Don’t sleep on the egg noodles, but ensure you don’t overcook it!

The cream puffs and other desserts were terrible though - the ice cream was decent. I would definitely go back here

The food was delicious and I haven't been to a hot pot before. Even though it was busy everything was well stocked. Seating was great. The music wasn't overwhelming and it was an overall pleasant experience. The amount of food you get for the price was perfect. Wagyu, beef and garlic, prawns, crawdads, pumpkins! Literally so many options! The staff was great, served us quickly and explained things well. Whenever we needed anything they were so quick to accommodate. Can't wait to find another reason to come back out here again!

Can't beat this spot.

I checked the reviews before visiting this Happy Lamb location, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who enjoys a healthy hot pot experience. I love tofu skin knots, but when I took my first bite, it tasted expired(which caused my stomach problem later). Unfortunately, I had already swallowed half, which made the entire meal unpleasant. I've been to many hot pot places, and this is the only one where I've had such a bad experience. On top of that, they charge $1.99 per person for dipping sauces (they mention drinks, but we only want water). I've never been to a hot pot buffet where dipping sauces weren't included.

Great place for hot pot! The meat is fresh, and the soup base has great flavor—rich and satisfying. I like the sour cabbage and the spicy soup base. The ingredients are high quality. Some marinated meats are salty, so keep that in mind. The restaurant is clean, and the service is generally friendly, though it can get busy. This is AYCE hot pot with pricing $22.99 for lunch per adult, $31.99 for dinner. The cotton candy machine is still broken. The only downside is the $1.99 charge for the sauce bar, which feels a bit unnecessary, but overall, it’s a solid spot for a delicious meal!

Eating here was a fun and exciting experience. There are so many different foods to try and endless variations to can put together.

The bone broth was amazing and beautiful before adding anything.

And the service was out of this world, speedy and so friendly. The server explained to use how to do everything since it was out first time here. We will definitely be enjoying this again and you should too!

they close from 3-5 but it doesnt say anywhere online, waste of time. it should really be clarified somewhere online.

good service! thanks Jessie for helping coordinate seating.

I came here for first time to try hot pot in Sacramento and the experience was awesome, Steven was recommending us the best choices and he was checking on us quite often. Other than food, my favorite desert was Sweet egg custard bun.

If you want a unique dining experience, this is well worth a visit. Fast, friendly, attentive service with a large variety of items to try.

I've been lucky enough to try a lot of Hot Pot places around the world and glad to say Happy Lamb is right up there with the best. They have very reasonable prices and a great selection of meats and vegetables to choose from. Their broth is excellent and flavorful (we tried the split pot with original and spicy).

The meats are high quality and fresh and you order them from the staff, while you can go to a buffet for the vegetables, seafood, appetizers, and items like tofu. There is a self-serve soft-drink dispenser and a good dipping sauce bar. I'd maybe ding them a little for not having as many sauce ingredient options as some places but the difference is small. They did make sure that the more popular ingredients were plentiful and the bar was kept pretty clean.

There is a small selection of desserts and even a cotton candy machine. The staff was very friendly and attentive and even though the restaurant was nearly full we never had to wait much.

Parking is good and I highly recommend this place!

Best bang for your buck hot pot place, imo
