Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I had my first visit to Happy AYCE Hot Pot with friends, and it was fantastic! My friends made a reservation through Yelp, and although it took about 10 minutes for our group to be prioritized, the wait was worth it. Once seated, the variety at the topping bar blew me away an assortment of veggies, fresh seafood, hot and cold dishes, fruits, and desserts. They also have a fun fondue fountain, ice cream station, and self-serve drinks including fountain drinks and refreshing winter melon tea. Everything was well-stocked, fresh, and delicious. The overall vibe was friendly, welcoming, and perfect for a group outing. It was an exceptional experience sharing food and laughter with friends, and I can’t wait to come back and try even more items when I’m not on a diet. 📸 Photos included: the colorful hot pot ingredients, dessert fountain, and our happy group enjoying the spread!

This dim sum and hot pot restaurant is absolutely wild — open 24/7! We came for the dim sum buffet on a Friday morning, and it did not disappoint. For just $25 per person, you get authentic dim sum served from traditional carts filled with steaming dishes. The dim sum runs Monday - Friday from 6 A.M. to 11:30 A.M., and hot pot is available all day and night. There’s also a back section offering snacks, hot dishes, salad, and desserts, plus drinks are included — even hot soy milk in the morning! Be careful ordering any noodle on the dim sum menu, they are regular/big bowl! Parking is free in the small lot behind the restaurant, but it fills up fast. Great value and fun experience overall!

Second time coming here. First time was back in 2023 when the place used to be called Happy Lamb AYCE. The quality was better back then. First nine photos I added are from back then. Today when I went for lunch, the food was ok, but something was lacking. Perhaps the freshness and quality. I thought I was hallucinating, but something felt off with the quail eggs. My grandma also noted the same; said it was probably fake. As in they were injected with chicken eggs instead of natural quail eggs are much more expensive. The coloring of the egg white was off. Not many meat pieces per order and the meat quality was mid. We got the A set. They do charge dinner price for weekend lunch. We wanted mushroom soup and bone broth, but they ran out of shroom broth. Fresh mushrooms are extra $2. On the plus side, there's lots of appetizers and free drinks. Appetizers got cold quickly though after bringing back to the table. I wanted to try their dim sum beef rice roll, but that was an extra $6 so nahhh... Broths were tasty. Staff occasionally comes out with grilled shrimp skewers and lamb skewers. Didn't try since not sure if we need to pay extra or not. Looked like they over cooked the skewers. Dry looking. Parking is limited. Can either park on street or behind the building where it is marked for Happy AYCE. Not a bad experience overall, but they could improve on quality of the food and service. Would come back for weekday lunch. Weekend price is a bit over the threshold of what an AYCE should be with some stuff being extra charge that should be included if you're paying that much.
