This is similar to hotpot where you have to cook all your food in a pot of boiling broth. But that's where the similarities end.
Price
The price is average for a bowl of noodles for ~$8. Extra meat is additional, which is recommended or you won't have too much protein in your meal.
Food
There's a wide variety of ingredients included (it comes with 10 small dishes). However, the quantity of each one is on the low end (such as one quail egg, one fungus, few pieces of corn, etc.)
The soup was on the bland side but you can add more flavor with the condiments at each table.
Service
When the food arrives, the waiters bring a boiling pot of broth in a large stone bowl. You need to quickly add in the meat and veggies for it to cook. They were nice to reheat one of the pots for us since we waited too long to add in the ingredients.
This type of cuisine is called "crossing the bridge" and it was an interesting and unique experience. I would have preferred having a larger quantity of a few veggies/meats, over lots of ingredients but only 1 of each.
