Instruction is you go in, grab a bowl and tongs, and fill the bowl with whatever you want. Then they will weigh it, ask if you want meat, and how you'd like your food prepared.

Spice level #2 is acceptable, unless you'd like to struggle while eating. Soup broth is strong, flavorful - I really liked it. Skewers were 99 cents each, and everything else weighed. You can dine for two with a great size bowl of mala soup. There's dry hotpot options as well.

Service is excellent. The lady was very sweet & asked about your allergy to...
