Happy Lamb Hot Pot (Bridgeport)

This was the first time my sister and I have ever had hot pot so there’s no experience to compare it to. With that being said we absolutely loved the place. We thought all the food was so fresh and delicious. The quality of the meats were great. We ordered the premium package. I’m not exactly sure what’s included because we went with the servers recommendations (she picked all the meats for us) There was a fresh bar for all of our topping to go in the hot pot. There was also a sauce bar where you could make your own flavorful sauce. We both ordered a pineapple smoothie. We really enjoyed it. Unfortunately you can’t take any of the leftovers so we stuffed ourselves while sitting and enjoying the atmosphere and conversation. We went at 11:45am which is pretty near opening so it wasn’t crowded at all. Never felt rush and the service was top tier.

Wow, we’re there around 2 pm and the place was packed! We ordered the original marrow broth, while we waited for the broth to come to the table, we went to the buffet area to get our items (seafood, veggies, noodles and all other varieties), also we mix our own sauce for dipping our meats! My favorite was the glass noodles and the shrimp paste! Beverage was included! After a full stomach, we still had room for the sesame seed balls with red beans on the inside, the fried dough drizzle with condensed milk and the ice cream! It’s free if you go on your birthday, just need to show ID!

In my top 2 favorite hot pot places. The buffet is great, the meats are great, LOVE that soda is included and it’s self-service. Would easily be my #1 hotpot spot except that the sauces aren’t as extensive or good as some of the ones I’ve been to before.

The fresh lamb, beef variety of mushrooms, tofu and glass noodles can't be beat.

Great selection of meats and veggies! We did the “all you can eat - premium” selection which allows you to pick from any of the meats on the menu! The AYCE - classic option also has a lot of options but you do not get to select any of the premier meats on the menu (ribeye steak, octopus, a nicer lamb meat selection amongst others). Our table was wonderful! Even tho it was a long table and we were sat with another party dining, there were dividers provided to help create some privacy. Bonus was that my meal was free because it was my birthday which was a nice surprise! (Meal only free on day of your actual birthday with valid state ID or drivers license)! If you’re looking for good food at a great price this is the place for you! Can not wait to return back :)
