Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Toronto

I checked other reviews and found that many people reported the same symptoms as I did: feeling extremely thirsty with a dry throat after eating, along with diarrhea and vomiting. This is genuinely alarming. If you care about your health, I strongly advise against choosing this restaurant. It’s outrageous! My friend vomited immediately after the meal, and I ended up with severe diarrhea, constantly running to the restroom. On top of all this, the prices are not affordable, offering very poor value for money. The overall dining experience was utterly unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend dining at this restaurant. After eating here, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and it upset my stomach. The soup base was overly salty, with an unbalanced flavor that completely overwhelmed the taste of the dishes. On top of that, the ingredients didn’t seem fresh, which not only affected the texture but also raised concerns about hygiene. Overall, it was a terrible dining experience, not worth the price—definitely a place to avoid. The service, however, was decent. The staff were relatively friendly and responsive. While the food and flavors left much to be desired, the polite and patient attitude of the servers slightly made up for the disappointment. They handled ordering and serving with professionalism and were quick to address customer needs. That said, even good service couldn’t salvage the overall poor experience.

I’m a fan of Happy Lamb Hot Pot (Little Lamb) since the original location in Scarborough area. So glad that they opened new location in Chinatown Toronto. At first this location started with serving at the table style restaurant but now they turn to old fashion style as their original location. More fun to serve and choose your own ingredients by yourself. New buffet lunch hour for $21.99/ person plus tax and tips from 11:30-3:00. I think is very reasonable price for hot pot buffet now a day. Compare to other brands of hot pot in Toronto, I love the Happy Lamb more than any other. All inclusive except if you love shrimps or seafood you got to pay more for dinner price. But for me one big plate of sliced lamp is enough or you can choose beef. You can get pork or chicken by yourself from the buffet stand. Service is great, clean plates and utensils, drinks so much variety to choose from. Worth every penny that you spend in the restaurant. Whatever you can fill in your stomach. At the end there are mini soft serve ice cream for you to choose from chocolate or vanilla. Love it ❤️ and will got back often Winter is coming and this place is great to spend the time with friends and family to share the hot meal.

Lunch all you can eat promo is definitely a good deal. Soup base is already included in the price and also the complimentary softserve. Mushroom soup is nice. There are not many food options but they pretty much have all of the common ones and they are fresh. It's a bit quiet for a hotpot place but the vibe is not my main concern.

This is my favourite hotpot restaurant in the city. They recently renovated so you can grab as many fresh ingredients as you like on your own, there’s a new drinks station, and new hot food station. I am always so impressed by the quick service and variety of food. The clear broth is my go-to choice and highly recommend. I always leave here with a full and happy stomach, I will definitely be back!!

Ive passed by this place so many times and finally tried it recently! Love that they have a cooked food section for me to start off cuz i was starving. Then i headed over to the self serve section for seafood and veggies. Meat they brought to our table so its not melting! The spicy soup could be spicier. Difficult to flag down server.

Surprisingly delicious hot pot buffet! Ingredients extremely fresh/crisp and on ice. The seating arrangement is very comfortable with room to spare. Selection of flavourful broth range from savoury to very spicy, caution advised when selecting spice level! The fresh brewed ice tea is perfect blend of tea, citrus and sweetness. Wheelchair accessible. I didn’t know boiled meat could be this good, assembly required 😆

I have eaten Happy Lam Hot Pot in Missisauga and was very impressed there, very satisfied. I thought it would be the same at this address because it is in the same restaurant chain. However, this place is completely different from Happy Lam Hotpot in Missisauga. Today (Aug 9, 2024) i ate here with my friend. we chose the “spicy and sour” hotpot and the “clear” hotpot. we mainly ate vegetables, and ordered pork twice. everything was very good and delicious, we had a full meal. however, after leaving the restaurant about 20 minutes we had severe stomach pain and diarrhea. my friend and I had diarrhea 3 times and the stomach pain still hasn't stopped, it's horrible. there is definitely a problem with the food here, everyone should be careful when choosing to eat here. I will not come back here and recommend everyone not to come here to eat for your health.

Probably one of the best choices for ayce hot pot in China town. A very large ingredients list and and the lamb and beef are pretty good quality. Sometimes you get a taste of freezer burn at other places, but none of that here. Ordering is a little hit or miss and depends on how good you are at flagging someone to take your order sheet. But the ingredients come quite quickly with the robot delivering everything. Edit: came back this year and they’ve definitely modernized. You choose all your own ingredients from a section at the back, buffet style now. Very good selection and just the normal menu is more than enough choice. Included in that is unlimited drinks and a small section for hot food. They also have premium ingredients they can bring to you now, such as premium slices of lamb and beef. They def taste higher quality and the lamb cuts are pretty tender.
