Fresh ingredients, very nice presentation, quick service, clean and organized. Probably one of the cleanest Asian restaurants I've been to. Even their washrooms are super clean!
There's several private VIP rooms you can book in advance. It's a good size and can sit around 8 people comfortably with TV, coat hangar, and plenty of storage spaces. Do note there's a minimum charge of $300 so you'll need to order 2 sets of hot pot. You'll want to order 2 anyway so there's hotpot on both ends of the table within easy reach of all guests.
The dipping sauce is buffet style and you can mix any ingredients to your liking. And if you still have the stomach for it, there's buffet style fresh fruits and dessert, too! And did I mention robot servers?! They help to make the delivery quick and so that the human servers don't need to carry large trays to your table. But the human servers would still take your order from the robot and place them at your table. So it's not a completely 100% robot service LOL.
All and all definitely recommend this place for hotpot. I think the price is fair and you have plenty of selections to choose from.
I came here for dinner recently. The service and atmosphere were pretty good. I got the Half and Half Pot with Mild Spicy and Original soup base. The original soup base tasted slightly different and better than the ones from supermarkets and is worth trying and the spicy one felt the same as the ones from supermarkets. In terms of food, I tried the Sheep and Beef Combo (羊牛至尊), Natural Prime-aged Lamb (快乐羔羊), Shrimp Paste (虾滑), Black Beef Tripe (千层肚), Assorted Vegetables, and Fried Dough (油条). The Sheep and Beef Combo had a good assortment of beef and lamb - I believe there were 3-4 types of each so it’s a decent item if you want to try a bit of everything. The Natural Prime-aged Lamb is definitely worth trying as it was tender/light/smooth compared to regular lamb. The difference felt like eating veal vs beef. The Shrimp Paste and Fried Dough were pretty good as well. The cuts for the tripe were mediocre and the assorted vegetables gave a large amount of one vegetable vs other vegetables.

Very modern setup they have. You order on a tablet and there are some "Roomba" like things (except taller) that help bring food, though the waiters did most of the work. Food was delivered pretty quickly and the service staff was generally friendly. You get individual pots for your broth. The food was good quality and there is a decent variety. Sauce options were pretty good as well. You also get a popsicle at the end of the meal. It was about $50 per person, so not cheap. Washroom had no paper towel left when I went and also no air dryer.
So delicious and the little robot servant gives the experience something extra. So good that we went a second time a few days later for happy hour! Definitely highly recommend that since you can save so much money. Would definitely go again if I happen to be in Richmond again!
The DolarShop used to be our favourite place for hotpot until we visited Happy Lamb after they renovated. We were pleasantly surprised! Price is cheaper with comparable quality, and ventilation was so good you don’t smell like hotpot when you leave the restaurant!
Soup base is pretty good but they are more adult oriented or hardcore Chinese food eaters. They should probably have some simpler soup choices for kids and non hardcore Chinese food eaters.
Other than that everything is pretty good. Price is expensive and that's why we came during the 1:30pm to 4pm 32% off.
