We stopped by this place for lunch at around noon. There were tongs and bowls right at the door. They offered variety of vegetables, mushrooms, meat, seafood and many kind of noodles, and even duck blood. After picking the food, you could choose with broth or dry, weigh and pay by lb. Mine was 1.5 lbs and I couldn’t even finish. I chose only one of each. My husband bowl was 2.3 lbs and it was barely any broth. We both got beef broth with level 3 spicy. The broth had good favor but little too salty for me. Spicy level was good and not too crazy for me at level 3. There was a sauce area which was kinda nice but the soup was too salty to use the sauce. I was kinda concerned about freshness of food in fridge. It seemed it wasn’t cold enough. Some of the meat are placed right at the fridge door. And because the place was so busy so it seemed like the door was never closed. After sitting down, the place got really busy. People were waiting to get food and then there were people were waiting to get the table. Wondering what if their food was ready and didn’t even have the table. Also, It was very hard to hear when they called that the food was ready. I hope they have a different system for it. Overall, it was nice to try but not worthy to comeback.

Tip: you can weigh your bowl any time while choosing your ingredients- you don’t have to wait til the end to weigh. I really really enjoyed this spot. Really fun choosing what you want in your bowl. Lot of noodles/starch options. Lot of protein options (tofu, meat, seafood, poultry). Want just one muscle or one meatball? Go for it! Want a lot of tofu? Totally up to you! Lots of veggie options too. Tasted the beef broth and tomato broth and they were so flavorful. Love the sauce bar as well! I will be back when they have the Tom yum back in stock.

Good good! I love their vegetarian options. The dumplings and stinky tofu are great. I wish that there was no pork in the eggplant dish.

We ordered orange chicken and general tsao chicken. Both were overly salty with MSG and mostly breading only a few pieces of real chicken. Hot and source soup tasted awful it’s like egg flour soup with vinegar so disgusting
