Meek: 🥨 🥨 🥨 🥨 

It is a more casual place where you don't have to dress up for the night. It's just a hot pot that gets really hot in there. The staff is fairly nice, and you have to break off a piece of meat for yourself. It's a more casual place where you get your sides and stuff for your hot pot yourself in a buffet style. The service was excellent, and they kept asking us if we wanted more meat. We paid around $25 per person, and it was unlimited. I remember we told them we didn't want more meat after a few servings. It was still plenty for us, even though we had our fill. Tofu is supposed to take on the flavor of whatever you're cooking it with. However, curry tofu is really good.

Steffi:  🥨 🥨 🥨 & 1/2 🥦🧀 

Personally, I might go back there again because it is very casual and you can take a family or group of friends. It is a Buffet style and I really did like the broth spicy option that was placed in our hot pot. Overall the staff was very nice and attentive if we needed anything or if they ran out of supplies they would quickly replace them at our request. I would say that they kept their Buffet supplies very fresh. I was not disappointed at all in the quality of the vegetables or meat that was offered. One thing I didn't like was the fried tofu. I thought it was going to be good, but when we put it in the hot pot, it was kind of strange and spongy. I've never liked tofu, especially when it's fried. The extra 1/2 is for their customer service.

🥦🧀 Tofu is a meat replacement option if you are vegetarian. I did not like the fried tofu, to me it was very spongy but that is a personal preference.

I would like to share my thoughts on The Happy Lamb Pot. Overall, I had a good experience with the food. However, it didn't quite match my personal taste preferences, so I would rate it a 3 out of 5. The quality of the ingredients was good, but it just wasn't my type of cuisine. To summarize, if you enjoy this type of food, it's worth checking out.
