You fill your bowl with meats,veggies, noodles & sauce.... Then they'll cook it all up for you! Plus for the same price you can help yourself to white or brown rice, 2 kinds of soup, beverages & top it off with frozen yogurt! I think the large dinner bowl was under $12! The lady at the front was very helpful, as she knew we had never been there before....she told us what to do then helped us with the sauce (each has its own recipe)
