Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot

Great service; but if you’re using the Groupon beware.
Groupon only takes of $ 40 of the entire meal for 4 people; leaving you to pay +$ 60 for the meal.

I have been too a little sheep previously at the States but they did not have all you can eat. I went yesterday with a couple of friends and I was glad this location has all you can eat!
This place has an interesting style of serving thing. For non-​meat items (fish balls, dumplings etc) they have it all displayed out in an area for you to grab yourself along with all the sauces. Some people may find it a bit dirty, but I like how it allows myself to get exactly what I want and how much I want. Meat wise, it seems they only have beef, lamb and pork. But that is honestly all I need. On top of that, they also have self serve curry fishballs and my personal favourite: ‘fried man tou’ (fried bread) where they have a bottle of condensed milk for you to add to the bread. Their ayce also includes all you can drink (usually costs extra in other places). They have all the pops as well as soy milk and plum juice.
I want to point out that I was fairly happy with their service. As far as I remember there were only 1 male and 1 female serving the whole restaurant. Both were kind and brings you want you want really fast. I like how they come around and refilling our soup before we even ask.
I enjoyed this place. On week nights it only costed each person ~25 dollars + tips which in my opinion was a lot cheaper than other AYCE places around here. Would definitely go back!

I walked in and I already knew my clothes were going to smell like boiled beef.
It was my first experience and i asked the waiter to give me the break down and he was like. «normal, mild or spicy» and had a really bad up sell with the liquor menu. He said pop was free but I couldn’t find ice anywhere.
I went to a fridge where there was all these kind of things I never knew you could throw in a soup. I“m used to just chicken noodle but they had every ball you can imagine. lobster balls, fish balls, lamb balls, beef balls, I decided to make a hot balls soup.
It was fun at first trying to catch all the balls while they were bubbling but then I kept catching the hot peppers that my spicy soup was filled with — It was kinda annoying.
As I walked out, I took a sniff of my clothes and not to my surprise I smelt like sweaty balls.

After having dinner multiple times at Little Sheep in Pasadena and Montréal, I was thrilled to see there was an other one so close to me.
There are a few differences between the Little Sheep franchises… Per instance, at the Little sheep in Pasadena, you order (for the all you can eat) on a paper (like at the sushi buffet) but in Scarborough, you actually go grab your food from giant fridges yourself, which I like.
There is a huge selection of sauces, seafood, meats and vegetables. I would recommend the larger noodles since they are freshly made and the crab balls.
Soda/​pop is complimentary (as well as certain juices), but there is no ice for your drinks therefore, you better enjoy room temperature soda.
I love spicy foods but the spicy soup broth at Little Sheep is quite tangy therefore, if you can’t handle spicy (or have any sort of stomach issues) STAY AWAY! (Your mouth and in some cases toilet will be forever greatful!)

I went here with a group of 16 friends to celebrate a birthday. They had 2 large tables reserved for us. I was surprisingly surprised of the quality of the food and the waiters’ customer service.
Majority of the food are self serve where you grab everything off trays of food onto your plate to cook. There is also unlimited pop drinks and soy milk included in the meal. The self serve food includes your typical veges, squid, assortment of balls (only the lamb balls looked home made), pork slices, wonton, tripe, pork stomach, fish cakes. The sauces are also self serve which includes: bbq, satay, sesame, seafood, and freshly cut green onions and cilantro.
The beef and lamb slices are ordered from the waiters and were given to us promptly.
I had the spicy broth that I really enjoyed. It had a very strong flavour that burst into my mouth with every bite I took. The flavour was strong enough that I would have been able to survive without any sauces. I have been to many hotpot places and have found that their soup base had a strong aroma but ended up with a weird aftertaste. Little sheep soup base did not give me this problem.
The waiters were also good with us keeping a birthday cake in their fridge.
Overall, it was a great night with great friends and great food.

Went here with my bf and brother for the first time to try hot pot. For first impressions — we were already impressed, the restaurant was clean, lighting was bright and clear and the place was very spacious (very accommodating for large groups).
We had a choice of sharing a pot or individually. We obviously picked individual. They had two different broths spicy or mild or you can pick half and half. This place was an AYCE but we definitely got our money’s worth!
They had a large selection of food, from different fish balls to seafood all the way to different types of noodles! They also had fountain drinks but I found it watered down — also found the dessert selection to be a little disappointing but remember you came here for HOT POT not for a Mandarin dinner buffet
Overall this place was a great place to go with friends, the broth was amazing and a fair amount of food selections. Also, if you’re a first timer I recommend on getting the half/​half!

Meats are fresh. The self selection is limited, most composed of fish balls and veggies. Meats will have to be asked for from the table only.
I liked how customers could make their own sauces.
You can customize how spicy your dipping sauces can be.
The pop/​soda is watered down.
Place is clean and very tidy. Plenty of staff, service was quick pronto.
Will return again. Come before 6:30pm this place gets packed real quick.

I love hot pot so naturally coming here on a really cold evening was the best idea I’ve had all week. We came around dinner time and was prepared for the 15 mins wait. Though if you come in pairs the wait is slightly shorter.
I was impressed by the large selection of food and what’s better is that it’s all you can eat. Quality wasn’t bad, the shrimps were very fresh, plenty of veggies to fulfill my herbivore needs. The lack of dessert was disappointing but by the end of our meal, we were too full to care.
There’s a pop dispenser for all your carbonated drink needs. Plates of beef and lamb are ordered via the call of the waiters and waitresses. Total came to be $ 27 per person after excluding tips. We came on Sunday. It’s a dollar off from Monday to Thursday though and I reckon the wait to be shorter during the earlier weekdays.
Would definitely come again.

This place is a mess. First, they only take reservations for 6+ people. Second, we arrive to find that there were empty tables waiting for reservation parties plus many 4 people tables were filled with pairs. Third, they forced my group to sit at a table with a shared pot instead of our desire for individual pots.
The tables could be more organized with tables of 2 to maximize the usage of the tables. However, it may mean less room to put dishes. Unlike other hot pot places, you can pick-​up your own food with a good variety except you need to order the beef and lamb due to health issues I guess. Although the meal was slightly cheaper than other hop pot places, the quality of the food was lacking plus it was a zoo trying to navigate through the crowds to get your food. They do however have unlimited water-​downed drinks including pop, soy milk and plum juice.
I would likely not return again since the service and quality of food was terrible. The website posted that they had scallops but there was none to be found. I recommend to avoid this place until they fix the problems and enhance the experience.

Pretty good hot pot place to try out. It had a lot of different sauces to choose from and a lot of different cuts of meat available. They also have several drink options such as plum juice, soy drink, and fountain drinks. I’m not much of a hot pot fan so I can’t really tell the difference between good and bad hot pot. Despite that, i thought the flavours in the food weren’t bad at all. Broth was flavourful and sauces were plenty.
It can get very hot in the restaurant and I would recommend leaving your jacket behind since the hot pot smell really sticks to your clothes afterwards.

We came here based on the average rating of the follow Unilocalers and were not disappointed.
We arrived a few minutes after 6:00pm and it was just starting to pick up. As we entered the restaurant they asked if we wanted individual hot pots or one pot to share. We opted for the single large pot. Immediately after we were seated the waitress came by and asked what type of broth we wanted and also dropped off plates of lamb. We grabbed our own veggies, fish balls, and drinks from the self serve section and off we went. The lamb was very fresh and delicious, however I can’t say the same for the beef, it was a bit tough (very lean, no fat — this might be an upside for some people) so we just ordered more lamb.
The waitress was amazing. I just looked in her general direction, made eye contact and she would come over and ask if there was anything we needed — awesome. She provided the best service I’ve ever had at an Asian restaurant.
I couldn’t give them the full 5 stars because the beef was too tough, the selection of food they have isn’t as much as it could be and they only have three soup bases to choose from. Aside from those three facts, this place is great. It’s gonna be my go-​to for hot pot this season.
All those Richmond Hill/​Markham places don’t stand a chance!

One of the staple hot pot restaurants uptown, and a decent place to enjoy a warm balanced meal or stuff up on lamb (as some people I know like to do). Expect long line ups and slow service in the evenings, especially on cold, frigid weekends. You’ll also end up wreaking of hotpot smell, so be sure to dress casually.

I gotta say the thing that was most notable was the fact that the soup base was way too filled with MSG. My tongue was numb by the end of our meal!
Also, they were heavy handed with the salt.
Food freshness was fine but the area in which the AYCE food was placed could be better maintained in terms of tidyness and cleanliness.
Service was on par for what you’d expect at AYCE places.

Very spacious restaurant with tons of group seating. I prefer using the individual pots over a large shared one. Lots of fresh vegetables that you can pick yourself, along with a variety of noodles, different kinds of tofu, dumplings, fish cakes and fish balls and seafood. You have to get your beef and lamb through the waiter though. The broth is very tasty!
The place gets busy so I recommend coming early, and reservations for groups over 6. They also have a good lunch deal.

We went for my first time on a Friday night with a reservation for 6. We were seated quickly but it took around 15 to 20 minutes before we were attended to by a waiter. Hot pot was $ 20.99 + $ 1 weekend fee per person, with $ 1 extra for the soup base. I had the non spicy soup was tasty with lots of ingredients like garlic, ginger, and spices in the pot. My girlfriend had the spicy one and she enjoyed it but it was too spicy after a while. The fresh chillies in her soup stock were a nice touch.
This was a buffet style AYCE, and all the food was kept in one corner. There were unlimited drinks (non-​alcoholic) and a station to mix your own sauces. They had just about everything you’d normally use except for raw eggs but that’s fine with me. The vinegar was put right beside the soy sauce with tiny labels, which may have ruined someone’s sauce but it didn’t affect me. There were also some cooked foods such as spring rolls for those who can’t wait for their food to cook before eating.
The raw foods were placed near the sauce station and fountain drinks. This placement was poorly planned, as everyone ended up being super crowded there, whether it was to get food or something else. With a max occupancy of 140, that can cause some trouble in peak hours. The place was nearly filled at the time we went and it was a bit annoying getting food.
However, the raw food selection was great. They had mushrooms (enoki and shiitake), all sorts of vegetables (watercress, coriander, nappa, bok choy), and at least 4 kinds of noodles. The seafood assortment included shrimp with heads on, cuttlefish, squid tentacles, and frozen mussels. Pig intestines and other weird organ stuff were included too, and also cow rumen. All kinds of fish balls, cuttlefish balls, and lobster balls were available too. I tried almost everything, and it tasted like it should, except for the fish/​cuttlefish/​lobster balls; those were too sweet.
The raw meats were a different story. It was super annoying having to order raw meats from the waiters separately even though it’s included in the cost of the meal. Their meat selection that night was only lamb and beef. Maybe they have chicken but they didn’t tell us about it when we asked. So when we asked them to bring us meat, they would bring 3 plates of maybe 6 small slices each for 6 people. If you’ve done hot pot before, you’d know that’s nothing. So we ended up having to reorder constantly throughout the night.
After 2 unrushed hours, we paid for our meal. There were no unexpected charges, and no charges for leftover food, though we didn’t leave any food anyways. There was no gratuity added to our bill, which was also nice. They accept credit card, so it’s a good change from other Asian restaurants. Overall it was a good experience. I would definitely come back on special occasions for my hot pot craving, but for the price, I might try somewhere a little cheaper or do it at home instead.
TL;DR
Good food, good selection, okay price, okay service, and really annoying flagging down waiters constantly if you want lots of beef or lamb for your hot pot.

I came here with a group of 15 at 7pm and lucky we had reservations! There was a line up outside the door. The service wasnt amazing since all the servers were running around and it was difficult to settle down and get my hotpot running and ready to go.
How it works is that you get your hotpot (single broth or double) and you go to the buffet area with a plate and grab any food you want. The selection was pretty good and I loaded up every time I went to get food. The only problem I had was that the food area is small and therefore crowded with people trying to get their food. They also have different sauces and herbs/​onions that you can get and mix together in a small bowl. I didn’t try any of the desserts since I stuffed myself with beef, but they seemed like the typical pastries you could buy in the supermarket. There’s also a pop machine for fountain drinks and also soymilk and a plum drink (an acquired taste). I didn’t really like the soy milk as it was grainy and too sweet for my likings.
Overall, once settled down, I had a great meal and a fun time with my friends. The pricing is average ($ 28 with tip) but I would like to come again!
Tl;Dr confusing at first, but you’ll get the hang of it. G okay service, good food, average pricing for AYCE

Craving spicy asian food Unilocal recommended this restaurant. It was my first time eating hot pot.
The server was helpful explaining how it works. There is an electric
stove top burner built into the table to heat up your broth. You select a single serving or large pot to share with others. In either size you can have one or
½ and ½ soup bases of the hot chillies or chicken flavor w/​ginger, garlic and lemon grass. I chose ½ of each broth which was good but next time will opt for just the spicy.
After choosing your broth (s) you can then go to the buffet to select your vegetables, pasta, seafood and meats to cook in your hot pot. The server also brings over a plate of raw, thin sliced beef and lamb for you to cook in your pot. There is a separate table of ingreidents for you to concoct different sauces to accompany your food.
You can eat as much as you like, desserts and drinks are included in the price ($$).
The concept is similar to mongolian barbeque. It is a great place for a romantic date where you can relax, take your time cooking and sharing a hot pot with someone special :)

Been here many times, and will be back many more. This is by far my favourite hot pot place. The service might be a bit slow (to be fair, it’s always packed with people) but the food and selection is the best. This is one of the truly «all you can eat» restaurants of the little sheep franchise. Many others claim to be ayce but end up charging you more for this and that. This location is the best, no strings attached, eat whatever you want hot pot restaurant around.
As for price, it’s average for an ayce restaurant.

I was first introduced to this place, and hotpot in general, by an old high school friend. At first, I had zero idea what hotpot really was so she had to explain it before I ended up going. I don’t regret it!
For those that do not know, hotpot consists of you selecting various foods and placing them in a «hot pot» of broth /​spices, etc for them to cook so you can eat them, on a mini stove top. This place in particular is all you can eat (AYCE).
The parking lot itself is a pretty good size as long as you aren’t looking to park right in front of the place. There are a lot of businesses in this plaza so you might have to park closer to the bank in order to get a spot. Since the plaza’s pretty small, this shouldn’t pose a problem, even at peak hours. If you’re coming from north of the place itself, you’ll want to turn left at the traffic light before the plaza itself because turning left from Warden isn’t fun. They actually recently redid their sign outside so it looks a little nicer now. The inside is clean for the most part but with so many customers through the day (I’ve gone several times, but only for dinner), that can be hard to keep up all the time.
Little Sheep Hot Pot does not take reservations for any «small groups» (whatever that means) so you’ll have to walk in. This place gets super busy at peak hours (which usually is after 6:30pm on weekdays, even earlier on the weekend). Not only this, but the wait can be really long and they really don’t have much space near the door for you to sit /​stand. So go early — I usually like to go around 5 or 5:30.
The food is pretty tasty. They have a lot of selection for it too. They have a ton of veges, meat, seafood, etc. They seem to slowly change their selection over time and one of my favourites, the cucumbers, aren’t there any more. I like simple foods, what can I say. Anyways, as a word of warning to the type of people that are really cautious about their food: the tongs for the food aren’t clamped down so the ones for raw meat and the ones for the veges can very easily get mixed up. It doesn’t matter too much in the long run because all your food goes in the hot pot anyway, but it’s worth mentioning. As for their soup base, they only have «original» and spicy but I like their original so much I really don’t care if they have other types. They have soy milk, several different soft drinks and a few others you get on your own too.
The service, in general, has been really good. I once came reasonably late and the waitress seeing people at the door wouldn’t put away her phone, even when I was talking to her about wait time (she told me 10 minutes and there were still four of five parties ahead of me 20 minutes later). She was pretty terrible. Outside of that, the workers there are pretty happy to serve you so if you need to refill your soup or get more meat, do not hesitate to ask them — they won’t bite! They’re pretty quick to get you what you want too so no worries there.
All in all, this place has been really a great place to go with a few friends. If you like hotpot, I could recommend this place for sure. Does it compare to other hotpot places? My answer is «I’m not sure» because I’ve only been to one other hotpot place. So I’m not the greatest person to ask about that.

I love hot pot! I think I’ve been to almost every hot pot place in GTA except for this one. My first time here was a pretty good experience.
First thing I noticed when I walked in was the male waiter on duty was friendly and asked if I had hot pot before, and whether I would like a small (for 1 person) or larger hot pot (usually for 2 people).
The standard soup was a chinese herbal soup base, I think even this basic soup was an extra $ 1 charge. There were other soup options for a bit extra. The ingredients you pick yourself at the buffet like area. There were side dishes (seaweed, spicy bamboo shoots) and dessert in plastic containers and trays (coconut biscuits, prawn crackers, fungus dates cold sweet dessert).
For the drink fountain, they only had pop and plum juice when I went. No chrysanthemum tea or others. Not a big deal of course, better to have unlimited plum juice compared to other places where you need to pay extra.
Service was alright. Would have liked 2 sets of chopsticks though … one for raw food, one for cooked food. Also I should have went for a larger pot since the soup got really thick from the ingredients near the end of my meal (they refilled it but I should have asked for them to completely change out the soup).
A wonderful place for hot pot, would recommend! Looks modern and my clothes did not smell bad or anything afterwards.
