Brilliant. Baffled by any negative reviews. My friends and I loved this place. My advice, don't go for the set menu. We had one spicy broth, seven portions of extras, two sauces and drinks all for £10 each! It was delicious and we all left very satisfied. Try the Mongolian noodles.
Great food and service, the prices per person have gone up to £23 p.p. but it's still a great value. We ordered 2 meals for 3 people and it was enough to feed us all.
For the £20 set meal you get 5 dishes each (min 2 persons) and it proves to be excellent value for money. loved the beef balls and the meats. Seafood is quite fresh as well.
Authentic and fun. My son and I are trekking in Mongolia this month so we thought it would be a good idea to sample some of the fare...Little Lamb is a tiny restaurant on Shaftsebury Avenue. 6 tables, from memory, all with a hot plate on to keep your pot bubbling. You choose between spicy or herbed stocks, or both in a twin pot. They're deeply flavoured with chilli, cinammon, and various unidentifiables. It's kept topped up during the course of the meal. You then choose various meat, fish, vegetable and noodles dishes to dip in, like a fondue, along with a range of dipping sauces.
From the meat we had thinly sliced raw beef (we could have had tripe, ham or a couple of other dishes). From the fish we had crab claws and legs and fish balls. The prawns, mussels and squid at another table looked nice too. We - over ordering as usual - also had tofu, pak choi and Mongolian bean noodles, which are huge flat ones, over an inch across, and a complete b*gger to try to pick up from a steaming vat with chopsticks!
We had the leek flower sauce (yum) and the house special (which was a peanut based dish).
Yes, it wasn't the finest fare in the world, but it seems infinitely more authentic than that Mongolian place in Covent Garden, service was charming, we were the only non-Asian people there, it was very good value (£30 between us including drinks and we could have got away with less). Most importantly though, great fun, and a very entertaining way of practising chopstick technique!

With the long winter spells last year, all I wanted to do was huddle up next to the fireplace at home. My friends and I decided to head over to Little Lamb for some hot pot. Hot pot is perfect to gather a bunch of mates for cooking your own food in a steam pot and conversations. Little lamb has been around for years, I remember passing by in my teens looking through the cloud of steamed windows.
The £20 per person set menu is a bargain, choose a soup stock and 5 items each, from long varied lists, vegetables, to thinly sliced meats, noodles and many more. We carefully chosen the herbal tonic as our soup base, after an incident of buying schezuan for a family hot pot I vouched never to touch the stuff ever again. It ended up with my family members running to the kitchen to rinse their tongue from the lethal spice.
I had been to hotpot in Beijing in 2012 or 20111 and then I went to the this franchise branch in 2019 in Dubai and I ate 3 times whilst I was in Dubai and it was too yummy! What is this place? It’s where you get raw vegetables and there are different kinds of meat you can get. I’ll recommend getting the double birth one with mushroom and one with chilli broth and the lamb slices are too good! It’s a must try!!! The place can be a lot cleaner in my opinion hence the 4 stars otherwise for food it’s 5 stars. It’s £24.99 per person and you can order the veggies as much as you like make sure you look out on the menu for extra they will charge you like for the prawn balls.
We order two sauces, and the price for two people is £32.7 per person(Friday night) reasonable price for a buffet in Chinatown. The malatang soup is excellent! Not too spicy.
Went for the hot pot experience as a family and really enjoyed it.
Our teenager daughter wanted to do hot pot (I'd never heard of it) after watching tik tok.
This place was small with 3 other tables taken and we needed guidance on how to order. Basically ask the waiter, and choose options that are included to keep price down.
The induction hob in middle of table heats the 2 broths (one is super spicy) and you basically boil the raw ingredients you're given. Prawns, squid, noodles, mushrooms, etc. Really good fun and gets a little messy.
It is £27.99 per person, minimum 2. With drinks and tip, worked out at £180 for 4 so don't expect this to be normal Chinese restaurant prices. Good fun though
I loved that they had six different kinds of mushrooms. AYCE for £28pp. Good quality meats. Nice broths. The place has been renovated too, so the ventilation is great.
It’s a one of the best hot pot shop in Soho!! I had hotpot meal buffet £25.99 per person very good valued👍🏻no limit time.Good quality of food and nice staffs so highly recommend!!
