The Happy Lamb Hot Pot in Las Vegas is an epicurean celebration that transcends the ordinary. It invites diners to embark on an all-you-can-eat extravaganza that is nothing short of sublime. From the moment you enter, an atmosphere of conviviality and refined indulgence permeates the space—a testament to the culinary art of hot pot dining elevated to new heights.
For my initial course, I opted for the exquisite soup base known as "Best of Both Worlds." This innovative concoction expertly combines the rich, velvety essence of a traditional bone marrow broth with the fiery, inviting kick of a spicy marrow infusion. The harmonious duality of flavors—earthy and robust alongside a tantalizing heat—crafted the perfect introduction to the lavish feast that awaited.
The selection of meats, meticulously curated within a medium-range price tier, presented a parade of gastronomic delights. I savored tender slices of Australian Wagyu bolar, renowned for its marbling and flavor; sumptuous Wagyu beef brisket, with its rich, buttery texture; delicate spring lamb, which offered a subtle sweetness; hearty lamb shoulder, with its bold flavor profile; and the robust iron steak, known for its satisfying chew. Additionally, the intriguingly novel Ox Aorta—a delicacy often overlooked—was available, along with the uniquely flavored house shrimp paste, which added a seafood twist. Each morsel was carefully prepared, showcasing masterful techniques that transformed ordinary ingredients into a decadent culinary experience, leaving an indelible mark on the palate.
Accompanying this carnivorous bounty were thoughtfully assembled sidebars, each boasting a veritable cornucopia of choices. Diners could select from earthy, umami-rich mushrooms, richly seasoned cow stomachs, a colorful medley of fresh seasonal vegetables, and diverse items that contributed an additional layer of intrigue and variety to the meal.
The culinary adventure further unfolded with an inviting array of hot appetizers—delightfully crisp gyoza filled with seasoned pork, silky noodles that glided effortlessly across the tongue, and perfectly cooked sticky rice served in bamboo baskets—each dish serving as a harmonious prelude to the grand symphony of flavors that was to come.
To complement the meal, the beverage selection featured an impressive assortment of teas—ranging from fragrant jasmine to robust oolong—and refreshing sodas, providing delightful contrasts to the bold spices of the broth. Adding a whimsical but delightful touch, a vibrant cotton candy machine spun sugary clouds of nostalgia, encapsulating the spirit of fun that characterizes The Happy Lamb Hot Pot.
In conclusion, dining at The Happy Lamb Hot Pot is an experience that beckons gourmands and culinary adventurers alike. This establishment is a realm where innovative culinary creativity meets exceptional service, and every element—from the sophisticated and savory soup bases to the lavish selection of meats and thoughtfully curated sides—is masterfully orchestrated to deliver an unparalleled hot pot experience in the city. Prepare to invest in this extraordinary dining affair; every cent spent at The Happy Lamb Hot Pot is a celebration of flavors that will linger joyfully in your memory long after...
Read moreUnreasonable Charges, Mediocre Food Avoid at all costs!!! Happy Lamb Las Vegas
Today, June 24th, just around 12 PM, I took my two kids (an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old) to this restaurant for lunch. The experience was jaw dropping (in a bad way)! This is a warning to families dining with kids!
We arrived right at lunchtime, but the restaurant was nearly empty, with only four or five tables occupied. After being seated, I honestly told the staff that my kids are were 8 and 9 years old, and asked if the kids’ price was still half off (we had been here a few times when they first opened — kids under 6 were free, and ages 6 to 12 were half price). Since I hadn’t been here in months, I wanted to confirm again, and the staff clearly said: yes, children are half price.
We ate three plates of lamb, took six shrimp from the buffet, some mushrooms, a few rice noodles, a few sesame balls, four chicken wings, and three to four fountain drinks. For dessert, we had a few pieces of cake and fruit. First, we did not waste any food. We ate quickly and didn’t occupy the table for long because quality of the food is dramatically lowered and it was like nothing when it first opened. But when it was time to pay that’s when I got super upset, I presented a valid promotional coupon they handed out during their grand opening (which offers $25 off when you spend over $50 — and we did spend more than $50).
However, I was told only my 8-year-old could get the kids’ price, but not the 9-year-old and had to be charged as an adult. I asked why, and the explanation completely contradicted what I was told when we were seated. Now they claimed that because the 9-year-old boy was “too tall” he had be charged full adult price.
I asked: how tall can a 9-year-old possibly be to be considered an adult? (My child is 1.4 meters / about 4’7”.) Even if you base pricing on height, how can you justify charging an actual 9-year-old the same as an adult? Every child grows differently — some are taller, some shorter — but if you clearly state children aged 6–12 are half price, you can’t change it last-minute to suit your needs (maybe because we had a coupon?) and charge based on height.
This is blatant deception of your customers. And this coupon was something your restaurant issued! If you didn’t want people to use it, why offer it in the first place? If you can’t afford to honor your own promotion, why run a restaurant? Using such dirty and dishonest tactics — better to shut down early than keep embarrassing yourselves.
we’re talking about a difference of a few dollars — it’s not that we can’t afford it, but it’s the dishonest, inconsistent way they conduct business that made me furious.
One last point: looking at how poorly the business is doing,I can taste that the food is definitely not as great as when it was first opened — especially the hot buffet items — are not fresh at all. Everything looked blackened, dry,...

Brand new place here in Vegas that has locations all over the US. They have a bone marrow broth which is cooked for 8 hours and a nice choice of meat selections including lamb, beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and a good selection of veggies, including many mushrooms, tofu and noodles. They also have vegetable broths available for vegetarians.
Walking in smells good, so a nice sign.
For it being a soft opening the service was great. I had Joesph as my server and he along with numerous staff and managers explained everything to me and made sure I well taken care of.
I got the best of both worlds, half original broth/half spicy broth 5/5. Good enough to drink on its own. Even though the original is good I loved the spicy broth.
I opted for the Happier menu, a premium all you can eat tier which includes Australian Wagyu and various high quality meats.
All meats except for seafood is brought to the table by staff. There is a hot bar, veggie bar, tofu, noodles and seafood bar, as well as sauce bar, drink bar, and dessert bar which includes a make your own cotton candy station with 6 flavors. The drink station included different flavors of boba.
Broth was constantly refilled.
Presentation was nice.
Since they have numerous locations they do know what they are doing and staff was trained well, just working out little kinks. I expect this place to be busy once word gets out.
Definitely a good place to go for a family or group of people.
If you're new to hot pot, I would recommend coming here and they will help you.
I would like to highlight the Passion Fruit iced tea and quail...
