About this spot
Happy Lamb Hot Pot brings the authentic smoky aroma of Mongolian hot pot to Chicago's Chinatown, where you can customize your broth and choose from a rotating selection of fresh meats and vegetables. The experience centers on communal dining around a bubbling cauldron, allowing you to cook thinly sliced lamb or beef directly at the table for maximum flavor control.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the spicy Sichuan peppercorn broth if you want a numbing tingling sensation that pairs perfectly with fatty cuts of meat.
- Bring your own chopsticks or ask for extra sets, as sharing utensils is essential for dipping sauces and communal cooking.
- Save room for the house-made dumplings served at the end of the meal to soak up any remaining flavorful broth.
