The prices are too high, you have to pay separately for each serving of meat, on average it comes out to 100aed, similar to Hot pot 65aed and unlimited for comparison.

It's a good hot pot. I heard that it's a hot pot restaurant that has won many awards. Many foreigners eat there, and there are also many Chinese.

A different experience. We ordered two types of hotpot (basic and spicy) with lamb marble slices and chicken slices. Added fried tofu, bakchoy. Definitely don't forget the noodles! Didn't order the readymade items. Food was good, only needed one serving of noodles for the two of us as it was quite filling. Must try atleast once.
Pro tip: Must get the tender coconut drink to help with the spice!

I come here nearly every week and the Chinese waitress started to recognise me as I speak mandarin. Food is amazing.from the grilled food to the hotpot.
I never get bored of xiao wei yang and neither should you:).

I have been a regular client since 5 years, however it doesn't matter for this company if you are new or regular client and I WAS EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED LATELY THAT I LEFT THE RESTAURENT AFTER ORDERING.when was newly opened was good however services and quality food become deteriorating over time,
Been responsible for customer service and customer experience I cannot recommend this restaurent anymore due to poor services, quality products,
MOST IMPORTANT IS NOT PLEASENT EXPERIENCE AT ALL,
Highgene is missing and store layout never been renovated since opening.

If you are facing problem forget that somone listen to you and solve the problem because even the Chinese lady manager can't even speack properly in English,

untrained staff all time bringing wrong order even though we was tipping them all time because feeling sorry for them.
Booking is not untertained through the phone however when you walk in and find the restaurent full they ask you to book?

I understand that few restaurent offer the hot pot however defenetely little lamb need to know how to operate this nice concept with more professional staff and pleasent dining experience.
Untel those matter will be solved and likely no one will care from management I can't recommend this restaurent.
Save your dissapontment and look somewhere else

The best hot pot in Dubai! The half n half bowl is amazing to share and they've got a good variety of ingredients. There's a table with sauces and I really recommend the mushroom one to mix in with the BROTH. Staff are really helpful as well. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I love this place. Go to the off JBR branch and usually go by myself but wish I had friends who enjoyed hotpots too. Got hooked on this when I visited China last year and so happy to have some places here in Dubai. Single person will cost you between dhs95-105 and with a companion about dhs 170. If you don't finish it, you can always take it home.

I haven't had a hotpot since I was last in China. I would eat Schezuan hotpot all the time. I was worried no other place could replicate it. Dear lord this place nails it. Authentic feel, restaurant, and an excellent spicy broth. The ingredients are fresh and the meat is succulent. I especially enjoyed the beef and been curd. I ate until I almost fell asleep, waited 20 minutes and then did it again as a traditional hotpot should. The only thing missing was half a case of Tsing Tao.

The Mongolian spicy hot pot soup was very tasty. It was the first time that I had the soup this tasty and not overwhelmed by spiciness. Meats and vegetables were great but shrimp paste and balls were pretty bad. It would be great if they serve beer in bottles instead of canned one.

Can’t believe I forgot to take pics. This is my second visit and the food is super fresh and top notch. Super value and the spicy hotpot is truly spicy. Loved the experience.

Authentic Chinese food. Very tasty dishes. The staff know the menu and are happy to explain. The hot pot is a must-have.
03 March 2020 23:41
Very nice and original experience, that everyone has to try at least once in their life! I would simply suggest that you indicate when a sauce is spicy, so people don't get mixed up:)

We walked out of the restaurant since they were not able to accomodate our party of 6 plus a baby even we had made a reservation.

Probably the best restaurant experience in dubai, the shabu shabu is to die for. This is the anti Mall place that should be frequented by every dubai resident

The spicy hot pot is great; we always enhance the flavors by mixing our own sauce to go with the hot pot. The dumplings is my favourite thing to cook in the pot.

There’s a reason they are always full! We enjoyed the Mongolian style hotpot so much we returned the next night. The homemade yogurt it a great. Lamb skewers, beef chuck, crab egg balls, shredded seaweed and mushrooms are also highly recommended.

Little Lamb Xiao Wei Yang is a franchise of award winning, authentic Chinese restaurants which specialise in Inner Mongolian cuisine, specifically hotpot. They’ve been on the UAE culinary scene since 2005 and today have seven or eight branches spread between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including this one opposite the Habtoor Grand Resort in JBR. The interior of this Xiao Wei Yang branch is stereotypical of this kind of restaurant with each table having an electric hob (where the hotpot is kept bubbling). On one end of the restaurant there is a condiments and sauces buffet from where you concoct your own sauce.

Every part of a hotpot is important but none more so than the stock or broth, and Xiao Wei Yang’s doesn’t disappoint. There are three basic broths starting with the original meat broth, which is opaque-white in colour similar to Arak, Raki, Ouzo or Sambuca mixed with water. There is a veg broth which, I am told, is made from mushrooms. Then there’s the chilli version of both which uses a concoction of chilli oil, dried chilli, Schezwan pepper corns and other oriental spices to spice things up. We usually order a combination of the original and the spicy which is served in a yin-yang partitioned pot.

It’s also very important to get the dipping sauce to your preferred taste. If it doesn’t taste right, then it will ruin your entire meal. I find it’s always good to seek help at this point. Thankfully, one of the friendly, English-speaking staff will guide you.

The rest is really about what you fancy cooking in your broth; Xiao Wei Yang has an excellent selection of thinly sliced meats, there’s an impressive range of seafood, greens and vegetables and of course fresh noodles. Remember, there’s more to this restaurant than hotpot. You can order à la carte too.

The staff at this particular Xiao Wei Yang all speak fluent English, something which can’t be said for their International City branch; they’re a friendly, attentive, accommodating bunch who are always willing to help if you need. So, whether you’re looking to try hotpot for the first time or simply looking to have a great hotpot or Chinese meal, there are few places I can think of outside International City which offer food this authentic and good. Highly recommended.

Hot pots are my favorites! And the service and staff here just make it even better. I m a fan of the beef cuts and the option of 3 variants of broths.each one is delicious and unique.humble set up and outstanding food.

I've been here a few different times, the food is always excellent as is the service. Don't hesitate to ask the servers to make your dip!

I had never been before, and was a little intimidated by how the menu worked, but the staff was very helpful in explaining and providing suggestions. Great concept, great food.
