“ What an experience! We had the most divine hot pot! The broth was so flavorful and authentic! The meat was so tender and all the vegetables were so fresh and I could not get over the sheer volume and variety! They even have a selection of desserts! The most amazing cocktails and at such a reasonable value! Great for families/ friends and even date night! Looking forward to my next visit already! ”
“ Great value for the price! High-quality meat and fresh ingredients, plus a wide selection of sides, drinks, and even desserts. The staff was friendly — although the service could’ve been a bit quicker. Overall, excellent price-to-quality ratio. Would definitely come again! ”
“ If you’re looking for a soothing hot pot on a cold weather day, I highly recommend this place. Located at the heart of Edinburgh (beside TK Maxx) the food was tasty and delicious. Went here with the entire family and we all enjoyed it! Was able to take some snaps. ”
“ This is undoubtedly the best hot pot restaurant in Scotland! The prices are great, and there is a fantastic selection of high-quality ingredients. We were impressed by the customer service; all the staff went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone was so welcoming and cheerful! One staff member, Scarlet, stood out particularly for her attentiveness. Her friendly demeanor and dedication added an extra dimension to our dining experience that is hard to find in any restaurant in Edinburgh! ”
“ We had an amazing time here! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the selection was outstanding—fresh meats like beef, lamb, and even deer, along with a huge variety of vegetables. They also serve ready-to-eat hot dishes like King Prawns and satay chicken. The dessert section was a treat with cakes and fresh fruits, and the drink options were plentiful (as much as you’d like!). For the hot pot itself, the "all-you-can-eat" quality and variety impressed us—especially the fresh cuts of beef, lamb, deer, and more. A fantastic evening—we’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Great atmosphere, great meal! If you're wanting some hearty food, this place was brilliant. They have a wide selection of meats, vegetables and carbs available. The way it works is that every table has a hole in it where a broth sits and boils continuously. You get to decide what broth you want. We went for the 'spicy chicken' broth with medium heat (not hot but loads of flavour from the spices!) The meats we had were, 'shoulder beef' and 'selected lamb'. You dip the raw meat into the hot pot and because they're cut very thin, they cook within 20 seconds! In the broth, you can add whatever vegetables you like. It's delicious! Make sure to grab the soft serve ice cream, as plain ice cream goes, it was really good! I went for seconds. Highly recommended and they have halal items too. ”
“ We had an incredible time at this hotpot place in Edinburgh. Happy Lamb hotpot is definitely one of favorites now when it comes to hotpot - the best we’ve had in a while! The ingredients were fresh, the broth was rich and flavorful, and the variety on offer was impressive. Whether you’re a hotpot regular or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. A special shoutout to our waitress, Alina, who made our experience even more memorable. She was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely kind. She took the time to explain the menu, checked in regularly without being intrusive, and made us feel so welcome. It’s rare to come across service that warm and sincere—thank you, Alina! Highly recommend this spot for a cozy, delicious meal with excellent service. ”
“ First time visiting a hot pot restaurant, and the experience couldn’t have been better. We were initially a bit unsure, as we had never tried hot pot before and weren’t familiar with how it all works. Thankfully, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. As soon as they learned it was our first time, they kindly walked us through the entire process and answered all of our questions with patience and clarity. Once we placed our order, the broth and meat arrived promptly. The meat was beautifully sliced and thoughtfully arranged on decorated plates, which added a nice touch to the presentation. We really enjoyed the wide selection of add-ons available at the buffet, all included as part of the lunch deal—great value for money. Speaking of value, I found the pricing to be very reasonable. For one set price, you can enjoy unlimited servings of your chosen meats, vegetables, and other extras from the buffet, making it a fantastic deal. The customer service truly stood out. Not only were the staff attentive at the start, but they also checked in on us throughout the meal, offering to top up our broth whenever it got low. Their genuine care and attention made a big difference. The restaurant itself was spotless, with clean tables and a well-maintained environment. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for such great service! ”
