| - I have been to over five different locations of the Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot, including the headquarter restaurant in Inner Mongolia (China). In Montreal, service is probably the restaurant's biggest weakness. Waiters/waitresses are overworked and don't seem to care much about customer service. The first order typically comes the fastest, so order ALL of what you want from the very beginning. There's no guarantee for the following orders - it might take 15 mins... or 40. If the food hasn't arrived after a while, enquire about it. Last time we went, our second order was simply forgotten, and the waitress shrugged when asked about it. Given the number of times that it happened, I began to suspect that delaying/losing orders is a sneaky way to decrease overall food consumption.
The food itself is consistent, as Little Sheep is a chain store that uses pre-prepared packages for the broth. You can even buy it in Chinese groceries and make hot pot at home! Because all-you-can-eat lamb is so awesome, the non-existent customer service is usually tolerated.
Prices are not cheap, but its definitively filling. I wouldn't recommended this place if there was anything better nearby, but I guess it's ok for sudden hot pot cravings.
