Guests grab a bowl, head through the buffet line, and load up on ingredients of their choice, with pricing based on weight. The bone broth and dry pot options draw regulars back for more, and the spicy noodles are a crowd favorite.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available, so the concept works well for mixed groups with varied dietary preferences.
