“My 100% go-to for hot pot. Sauce bar, all-you-can-eat, huge menu, and great service. What else can I say? You’ll be eating within five minutes of sitting down. Also, don’t forget the to-go ice cream if you eat in! Ibasaw checks all the boxes when it comes to hot pot.“

“No one should say anything bad about Dōngběi. It is one of the most genuine and lovely places in China, with the warmest and most sincere people, and you can truly feel it through their dishes. Please come and try Dongbei cuisine here, you won’t regret it!“

“Shu DaXia’s hotpot was a surprising hit and my friends actually prefer it to Liuyishou or Qiao Lin now. The main reason is that they offer a vegetarian version of the spicy Sichuan pepper broth, which the other places didn’t have, I really enjoyed the Shiitake chicken broth as well. The crispy fried pork appetizer was delicious, and I loved that the restaurant felt clean and had a coat check. It wasn't too crowded when we went, which made the whole experience even better.

The meats were cheaper priced to the other hotpot restaurants in Boston which was nice.“

“Happy Lamb in Cambridge is my preferred location in Massachusetts.

I've been going to this location for quite some time now, and it never disappoints.

I always look forward to going because of the consistency of the flavor, atmosphere, and the great customer service that is provided amongst the entire staff.

I would like to single out three ladies that always go above and beyond to make sure that everything is up to the best standards. These ladies are Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna. They always have a smile on their face, are extremely kind and attentive. They make the experience always enjoyable for myself and my friends/family. It's always a wonderful restaurant experience and with them it feels like I'm visiting family for dinner with their warm welcoming back.

I really appreciate that level of service that Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna always provide. I always look forward to seeing them, and they are a great asset to Happy Lamb in Cambridge.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

I can't wait to go back and see you all.“

“Was in town visiting Salem and noticed this place on our way. Headed here for a late dinner on our way back to our hotel. We’re immediately impressed with the design of the space. The owners son Joe greeted us and was incredibly helpful because we mentioned we’ve never had hot pot before. Past the great service and friendly atmosphere the food was absolutely incredible and we easily agreed it was in our top 10 best flavored meals. Would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“My wife and I were in from out of town. My wife is Food was so good we went two nights out of the four we were in town. We arrived around 5 and were seated right away. It was packed by 6. First night we had individual pots and the second night we shared. The frog legs were very good! Don't forget to add the sauce and snack option.“

“We had a fantastic dinner experience at this restaurant. The hot pot was absolutely delicious, and every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. Even more impressive, I accidentally left my purse behind, and the staff went above and beyond to help me retrieve it quickly. Their honesty and kindness really stood out. Plus, they have this great 20% discount after 10 PM, which was such a nice bonus. Overall, highly recommend this place not just for the food but for the amazing service!“

“Blue Sakura Shabu All You Can Eat is a lively hot pot spot in Allston offering an AYCE experience with a wide selection of meats, seafood, vegetables, and sides. It’s a popular choice for group dinners, especially with friends or classmates looking for a filling meal.

The space is modern and energetic, with individual burners built into each table for a more personal hot pot experience. It can get busy during dinner hours and weekends, but the atmosphere adds to the fun, social feel of the meal. Service is generally attentive, with staff bringing out orders steadily and checking in to swap out broths or refill items when needed.

The menu offers a good variety of thinly sliced beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and classic hot pot additions like fish balls, tofu, mushrooms, and leafy greens. The meat quality is solid for AYCE, and portions come out quickly enough to keep the meal moving. Broth options range from lighter house broths to spicier selections, allowing you to customize the experience. While it may not be the most premium hot pot in the area, the value is strong for the price point and the unlimited format makes it easy to try a bit of everything.

Overall, Blue Sakura is a reliable AYCE hot pot destination in Allston, great for casual group outings, celebrations, or when you’re just really craving a big, comforting meal.“

“Generous portions for cheap! They give a lot of rice which fills you up, but a decent portion of main dish (I got pork and tofu). The main dishes are a bit oily, but they taste very good. The pork had a decent amount of lean meat as well as fatty, which is good. I wish the tofu had a little more taste, but it was still good. Food came very quickly. The soup it came with was too salty though, tasted like salt water. Everything here was around $12 which is a good deal! Recommend for a quick but filling meal.“

“Probably the best shabu house in Boston. Everything was fresh from the meat, vegetables and seafood. I chose the silver(I think) the one with about $55 per person and I got the whole set of seafood and the lobster was so fresh and the oysters that comes with was huge and fresh!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“Fast, friendly service. Great selection. No pressure or rush. Very relaxing. Good flavors.“

“Went here with some friends a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it, everything is at the buffet except the main meats so the vegan in our party had a great time. Also, little to not risk of food waste as you can get only as much as you want. Flushing is very cool and it was a great time“

“server was the highlight. knowledgeable about gluten, sesame allergies, really good service, anticipated more drinks or broth so we didn't have to ask. we asked for a bigger table and they accommodated us, then the people who were supposed to join didn't join, but the host was super chill about it“

“So happy to have found this place! I often yearn for Rou jia mo, and this place has so many great options!

The spicy cumin lamb noodles are excellent, could be a bit Spicier, but the flavors are excellent and the noodles are just perfect! Looking forward to having this spot in my usual rotation!“

“The quality of the meats was outstanding—fresh, well-marinated, and perfectly sliced for grilling right at the table. The short ribs and spicy pork belly were absolute standouts. Everything tasted authentic and flavorful. The grill was changed regularly, and the staff checked in often without being intrusive.“

“This place was fantastic for a party of 13! The food was great, well priced, and the staff were attentive and helpful.

I had a problem with a receipt and had to call the manager of the restaurant. He was extremely helpful and proactive.

Everything about this place was great!“
