Little Lamb Hot Pot - Amherst

A favorite place to splurge on and experiment with the sauces! We pick out date nights and this place so that we can enjoy the food and have a warm conversation. Usually we don't order a lot of vegetables and go straight to the lamb and crab sticks! Their spicy Mala broth is a favorite. The assortment of sauces are great provided we mix them with scallions and peanut and chilli oil. The experimentation with the sauces make this place a hit with me. The potstickers were okay, but the rest of the food, their freshness, their constant attention to their customers are what keeps us coming each time.

My husband and I have been traveling to Buffalo, NY for medical treatment and in our down time we tried out a bunch of local restaurants. This has been by far one of my absolute favorite restaurants I've ever been to. Their hotpot broths are so unbelievably delicious. I love the stylish seating and the big screen TV with music playing while guests eat. The staff are pretty friendly as well. I've been to a few other hot pot restaurants, but none of them do I love as much as this place. Now every time I visit Buffalo I HAVE to stop here! 10/10

I went to this place four times and each and every time we have had the hotpot. I went on a Groupon for the first time and paid $10 for the buffet. Hence my experience was really above expectations. It really hits you if you are paying $25+tax per person which is the actual rate on regular days. However they have a wide range of choices that ranges from sliced lamb, chicken, beef, fish, imitation crabs to vegetables such as bok choy, spinach, different mushrooms. Every time we take the mala spicy broth as our soup base. The trick is to find the right combination of sauces from the sauce counter that you would want to mix with the boiled items. We had peanut sauce with crushed peanuts and sesame on top, chicken satay sauce with sesame oil and crushed peanuts, chive sauce with sesame oil and spring onions, chili sauce with little soy, and hoisin sauce. However this combination is suited to our taste palette and might not be recommended for everyone. For any meat eater, I would recommend going for the buffet. The vegetarian options are comparatively inexpensive.

We ordered the Chongqing Spicy Chicken, boiled Fish In Hot Chili Oil, and hot and sour shredded potato and it was rly good. The fish was plentiful w/ cilantro and the l seasoning was excellent as well. The chicken was crispy and oily without too much of the breading and spicy. The shredded potato dish is how it is like made in China, very crisp and the seasoning could've been more spicy/sour but it was very good! The menu items are pretty cheap as well which is always a bonus. the environment is rly pretty as well.

Not full five stars ordered 3 things on menu and do not have. Closest one to me with out going over the border. Food is good, but one other weaker selections for hot pot restaurant . NJ and nyc and Florida has better hot pot restaurants. Multiple times it has happened at this place. Maybe because I like the exotic items and they are tougher to get. Food and staff is nice that is why it got 4 stars, trying the hot pot across the border next time.
