You always walk out feeling healthy. The thinly sliced beef and veggies in broth or sauce is enough to be filling without making you feel like you just ate a truck because it is light on carbs. You get a small portion of noodles but most of the meal is protein and vegetable. Good deal for the money. The sukiyaki can sometimes be a bit too salty, especially when it boils down. I prefer the shabu shabu.
