It was a fun experience. When you enter, you pick up a “shopping basket” and pick out all of the ingredients you want to go into your soup... meats, veggies, chinese donuts, etc. Keep in mind, it adds up fast! You hand over your basket, select the type of broth you want, and pay. The staff cooks your soup and brings it out to you. When we went, there were a lot of folks and lots of baskets. We thought for sure they’d get them mixed up, but we got exactly what we picked out. It was good, but the broth could have been more flavorful.
The place is new and interesting inside. You don't expect much because you pick out things to put in your order, like tofu, veggies, various meats, etc, that are all stocked on two convenience-store style fridges next to the front doors. You also get to decide on what kind of broth to use. With these ingredients in your basket, you wouldn't think much about what would come out of it. But you write your name on sticky note and slap it on your basket and sit at a table and wait for a few minutes.
What came out was pretty good, especially on a cold winter day. There's a lot of soup to go with the order too so don't worry about having too many put inside your bowl, you'll be fine.
Service was friendly and quick, my only qualm about this place was that the prices for some of the things in the fridges were hard to see or were not available at all. So be careful when choosing things to go inside your bowl, it might cost more than you expect. But it's pretty worth in my opinion, I would definitely go again. :)
The service was friendly and helpful, the food came out fast and tasty, and the place was clean.
If you haven't been to this style of restaurant: You order by picking out ingredients and a broth and bringing them to the counter. There's a good amount of options for meats and vegetables. They also have a few other cooked dishes available to order, like takoyaki.
