Happy Lamb Hot Pot (Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Philadelphia 快乐小羊)

I’m always gonna give hotpots like this a five out of five stars and I will say the food is quite good and the broth is as good as I expected. They have an hour and a half time limit but since there weren’t people waiting they didn’t enforce to time limit. We stayed until they are about to close and they do enforce it. Overall I would go back and enjoyed my time.

This place is amazing! Excellent meats, good sized sauce bar, and a small buffet equipped with all of your hotpot veggies and seafood needs. Service was on point, very attentive, and all you can eat comes out to just over $22 per person, which is great deal for the quality. Will definitely be back

First time trying out Hotpot . It was such a great experience. The service were great, friendly & very helpful. We tried the half & half broth. We ordered the medium hot on one side but it was too spicy for us . Everything else was great. We definitely are going back & trying a different combination. Thank you!??

I have eaten all over the US, Iraq, Kuwait, some in Germany. Anytime I visit a large city I try to experience the food. Chinatown in San Fran and Philadelphia. I try to experience all different types of foods. I can't believe I have only now experienced my first Hot Pot. The flavor was wonderful!! Happy Lamb Hot Pot has set the standard for me. I just wish I did not live in another State. I loved it!!! If you have never experienced a Hot Pot do it. There are joys in life one must experience.

The best hot pot dining experience I have had. All you can eat, they simply keep bringing plates of meats to the table at your request and have a salad bar style for unlimited drinks and items to put into your pot such as eggs, tofu, dumplings, brocolli and much more. We had a wonderful time. They do not have a bar.

Brought my whole crew here to celebrate the end of my semester. (May 21, 2023)Update: Mother’s day sale. Details in picture of poster. (May, 2023)Just came back for another Friday lunch.More than worth the 20.51 (after tax, before tip) price tag for my Froday noon all you can eat. Choice meats are shaven to order, all else laid out in the buffet area. I’ve missed this genuine fill-my-own-plate buffet experience. Ingredients fresh and the place efficiently run. There’s magic in a big roomful of faces all glowing with joy.

Food was good! Staff was very attentive and probably the best part though they made sure to always come around refilling broth and that everything is okay. The broth and meat was yummy the watermelon juice was good too but tasted a bit watery imo. The AYCE is open so you only order your meat and broth and go get the rest. They had Kumquat Lemon juice and iced tea too!

Kid-friendliness: Family environment. I brought my child with me. There was plenty of space to accommodate young children as well.

Parking: Park at one of the lots 1 block down the street from the restaurant.

We waited for over an hour in person since they don’t take reservations. The food was good, no doubt on that. Not a large selection but enough to be satisfied. It’s a four star because the employees are friendly but inattentive. We had to wave multiple times to get the dirty plates that we stacked up taken and the meat we ordered took 2 follows up and 15 mins to arrive. At one point they ran out of white rice and we had to wait too. Being only 90 mins dine in time, it is stressful when the food takes longer than expected to arrive.

The waitress/waiter didn't let us know that we only have 90 minutes to finish our meal. It was a big group of people. So basically, they only let us know at the last 15-20 minutes. So we were rushing at the end. (Can you imagining that when you are rushing for a hot pot and at the end of the day you are still hungry from a hot pot buffet???)Me and my friends are not satisfied with this service. I understand it is very crowded but if we know the time range. We would have enjoyed it better.

Loved every second of our happy lamb unlimited hot spot experience. The service was incredibly quick and efficient, and the meat was of exceptional quality. Great Chinatown restaurant!

Great Mongolian style restaurant not for the faint hearted. I say this because of all the combination of flavors and meats. The broths taste really good specially the curry broth. Once you choose your meats they bring your broth to the table and they turn on a electric skillet so the broth stays hot and you can cook your proteins and vegetables in it.

Great place for hotpot buffet!Would highly recommend the golden sauerkraut broth (spicy) and the tomato broth (not spicy). Tomato broth has tomatoes and celery that will cook into a very tasty soup as you eat the hotpot, and every bite will be so juicy with tomato soup!My favorite sauce dish recipe: 5 part sesame paste, 1 part chili pepper oil, a dash of garlic, and garnish of cilantroPro tip: hot pot is known to be a bit messy and it does leave some smell on your hair? - you’re basically sitting in front of very flavorful boiling soup for one hour so it’s bound to get on you. So don’t wear your best expensive outfit, wear a hat (or prepare a hair mist/body mist) if that bothers you, and even plan for a shower after.

Amazing experience, lots of food options, broth is tasty, service is great and they even refill your broth when it gets low, clean, I've gone like 4 times. Definitely have to go during the week and get the lunch special cuz it's such an insane deal!
