Happy Lamb Hot Pot

Happy Little Lamb just opened, and it’s definitely worth a try. The service was excellent, and all the ingredients were fresh and high quality. Their ingredient selection area is similar to the popular mix-and-match hot pot or malatang places, with a wide variety of fresh options. I tried their house-made lemon water—very refreshing and worth a try. A pleasant surprise was the small dish area, which included lamb spine stew and several classic homestyle dishes—great for group gatherings since there’s something for everyone. Every table also gets a roasted lamb leg, which was a highlight. Since they just opened, I really hope they can continue to maintain this level of service and quality.

Tried a new hot pot place and we were pleasantly surprised! We got the lowest tier, the “happy” tier, to try it out and I think that was already really good. I really enjoyed the beef toro and basically just kept ordering that. We got both the original marrow broth and the spicy marrow broth. I didn’t really like any of the fish cake they had but that’s fine since they had bokchoy and crab meat which is all I need. They also have a sauce area and cooked food area.

Seriously obsessed with this place. The broth was super flavorful (we did half spicy, half mild) and everything from the meats to the veggies was super fresh. The sauce bar was fun to mix and match, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. My favorite is the fried bun, so good. Great for kids and family, ate with my nieces and they loved the rice and udon.

Very good hot pot for the price range. All the items we had, we found to be fairly good quality. While waiting for your initial food order, you have the option to go pick at the snack bar and there are some juicy options over there including lamb spine! There were loads of people just stacking the lamb spine on their plates. You’re limited on how many orders of the premium meats but honestly we found it more than enough for our needs. The non-premium meats were pretty good too and not to be overlooked. The only gripe we had was the service could use some work. Our waitress took our initial order and then never actually put it in so we were waiting for nothing for a while before she realized her mistake. Other than that small hiccup, we had a good time and we are looking forward to returning again soon. There’s two menus you can order from and the pricier one is honestly fairly priced so we didn’t see any reason not to order the higher one.

Wow! Happy Lamb in Huntington Beach is an absolute gem! If you love hot pot, it is a MUST! From the moment we walked in, the General Manager, Johnson, made us feel incredibly welcome – such genuine hospitality is rare and truly appreciated. The service throughout our meal was exceptional; attentive, friendly, and prompt. And the food? Absolutely top-notch! All you can eat can sometimes comprise quality but NOT at Happy Lamb! Their rich broths and premium meats were fresh and of the highest quality. We were stuffed by the end of it – in the best way possible! Happy Lamb has definitely earned a full five stars from us. We can't wait to go back. Bring your appetite!

Strong lamb smell when you walk in, but I didn't mind it. Decent selection of all you can eat veggies and meats. I heard drinks were $2.50 extra though. We were waiting for rice, but the waiter told us the rice cooker broke down halfway through cooking so we didn't get to have some rice. Anyway, big portions of the meats and they were good. Something gave me diarrhea though.

Date of visit: June 2025 I came here to check out the hot pot and the lamb! They're called Happy Lamb, so gotta eat lamb, right? They took over the old Macaroni Grill. Who remembers that?? They have an option to split the pot for two soup bases: original marrow and spicy marrow. Otherwise they have cabbage, mushroom, and tomato. I got the split pot. At the time of visit in June 2025, the dinner price for "Happy" tier was $29.99 and you get classic items. The "happier" tier was $38.99 for dinner. The difference is you get Australian wagyu, the lamb shank, lamb shoulder, and spring lamb. You also get other seafood items not included in the classic menu. The lamb shank was worth the happier tier. The meat was tender and flavorful. I recommend getting this. The other raw meats that you cook were pretty good too. I like the self-serve area, which was clean and spacious. They had plenty of sauce options. The dessert that you get is a small ice cream.

Nice new Hot Pot place. Good selection of other meats, seafood, veggies, sauces and condiments. Choose broth, pick meats and then get your veggies. We like d the split pot of broth. Bring your stretchy pants!!! :)
