About Happy Lamb Hot Pot

Happy Lamb Hot Pot delivers a halal-friendly, all-you-can-eat feast in the Melbourne CBD with zero pork and unlimited marbled Wagyu upgrades. Broths simmer with aromatic herbs and bone stock, creating rich pots for dipping thin lamb slices and fresh prawns. Diners crowd the wide dining room for group gatherings, balancing communal spicy cauldrons with cheese tofu, handmade beef balls, and quick custom dips mixed at the expansive condiment bar. Mantou with sweet condensed milk lands as an easy, fried finish alongside free milk tea and plum juice.

  • Six-Hour Mongolian Broths: Herbal bone and spicy stocks simmer with traditional spices, built to warm up chilly Melbourne weather without heavy add-on charges.
  • Halal-Friendly Wagyu AYCE: Fixed-price buffet packages offer fully halal beef and lamb cuts alongside an optional deluxe upgrade for unlimited marbled Wagyu.
