I enjoyed this hot pot place! All you can eat style, lots of options, good service, great options for broth and meats and veggies.

Happy Lamb in Virginia offers an all-you-can-eat hot pot buffet. The ingredients are pretty good and the weekday lunch price is $21, which is a great deal. The restaurant environment is clean, tidy and comfortable, and the service attitude is also very good.

Giving two stars instead of one because we’re hoping we just came on a bad day. We only got to have two orders of meat before we got aggressively cut off (bill came and server turned off the heat even though we were still actively cooking raw meat). Before that we spent over an hour trying to catch our server’s eye( or anyone’s for that matter) to put in another round of meat after our very first round and for an ayce with a time limit it shouldn’t be like that. We had paid for the premium menu too. The broth and meat tasted good, it was just the service that completely wiped away the enjoyment of the experience.

The food and the ability to pick your own items are what makes this place supreme to all other Hot Pots. The food is absolutely my favorite.

A first time hot pot experience to remember for me! We ordered the unlimited which basically just means a buffet style toppings area while the meat is brought to the table (up to three plates at a time for the meat). I really like the concept of splitting the broth and getting “the best of both worlds”, so we did the spicy and the original. For our meat, we did garlic marinated beef, chicken, and beef short plate. So good! As far as toppings— where do I start? Veggies: Napa cabbage, corn, broccoli, sweet potato, potato. Noodles: vermicelli and a thicker noodle. Mushrooms and tofu. So many toppings I just didn’t have room to try, but would love to on a future trip here!
My favourite hot pot restaurant! All you can eat meat and a buffet for veg, fish etc. Lots of different types of tofu and handmade dumplings, self serve soda and sauce bar. Only things I would improve would be to update the bathroom and offer some more Asian beers. Service is super quick and staff are helpful :)Vegetarian options: Buffet is full of vegetarian options, vegetables, fruit, potato, tofu and noodles

UPDATED: Gave this place another chance as a friend wanted to come here for hotpot. I was surprised that the both tasted as good as it used to be. They had the fish roe balls back. The meat was also good. I still like the old days more but I give them credit for making improvementsIt’s sad to give this place one star when it used to be my favorite place for hotpot in the area. I used to patronize the restaurant so frequently even during covid time that the old staffs remember me. It all went downhill when they changed it to all you can eat. The broth is bad. Most of my favorite items are gone: enoki mushroom, fish tofu, quail egg, and the fish roe balls. The broth is no longer good (they add more water to the recipe or something). Most of the food items at the buffet stand tasted and smelled so bad especially the fish balls (I only had one tiny bite and I had to spit it out. We picked this place for our anniversary dinner and I left feeling very sad, for a very great restaurant with many good memories was gone.

Do not ask customer to wait and write down their number if your last call is 930 and ask them to keep waiting if you won’t have available table…

The best of the best hot pot place I've been to that has the quality, service, attentiveness, and friendly attitude like Happy Lamb Hot Pot. I travel for work and have had many hot pots from many different states but this here is the crown jewel. Ranking #1 in U.S. for all categories. I couldn't believe to find out this is Mongolian Chinese Hot Pot. Best of the best. Love you guys. I'm your biggest fan. Can't wait til you come to Georgia.

Great hot pot experience! The staff members helping us were very kind, even though they were busy with getting things running at opening.
