Recommend coming early to join the waitlist especially with a bigger party. But it's a good thing it's in a plaza so you can visit the other stores or play claw machines while waiting. Free matcha ice cream after your meal is definitely their biggest plus that most people enjoy. Liked how they had a lot of different broth options in comparison to other places. However their seafood/meat/veggie selections is very limited and didn't have enoki mushrooms. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Mala broth - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Not worth it!! I have tried over 10 malatang/hotpot places across LA & OC, and if you're looking for the classic mala rich broth this place DOES NOT have it!! The broth is so bland and the spice has no flavor. Like it's just red peppers, not like your usual chili oil/mala spice. Overall, anyone can make malatang at home and that would be better than this place. Especially for $20-25/per pot this is NOT WORTH your moneyy. To make things worse the ice cream machine was not working and we didn't get anything. Which, aren't I paying for that too indirectly? It felt like a huge waste of money and time. The workers are kind and the bar selection is good, but the core of malatang the BROTH is so bad. I would not come again. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Came in with family for lunch on Sunday and it was pretty packed. We luckily snagged the last big table before a line started outside. I picked a bunch of ingredients that I like. It's what you'd expect from a hot pot place where you have to pay by the pound. Middle of the road in terms of food quality! They have a sauce station on the right side when you enter the restaurant. I got the Collagen Beef Broth and it was simple + a bit under seasoned. The food took some time to come out because of how busy it was. It was also a bit pricy for what you get but they have a nice complimentary dessert at the end of the meal for you! I would come before the lunch/dinner rush as this place can get easily packed, especially when there's a big movie playing that weekend at the AMC next to this restaurant. Parking is underground since this place is located at the Atlantic Times Square Plaza. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

* Dry Spicy Tomato Broth * Mushroom Broth Your pot, your way! Beautiful atmosphere! It does get pretty busy since there are only around 24-26 tables, so expect a bit of a wait during peak hours. The broth selection is extensive, making it a great spot if you're picky or want to try something different. I ordered the Dry Spicy Tomato, while my wife went with the Mushroom Broth. Personally, I preferred the spicy tomato. it had a richer, more flavorful kick but options were delicious, especially when paired with the sauce bar and don't skip the chocolate ice cream at the end it was honestly the highlight of the meal! Parking, however, is another story. Avoid coming when there's a new movie playing nearby that was my biggest mistake. Other than that, I'd definitely come back. Price: $-$$ read more

I enjoyed my experience here. I noticed this place was pretty new when I visited Atlantic Times Square, and there were tons of people inside. When I came back another time, I decided to give it a try. When we arrived, we were given a table number before we started filling up our bowls. The only confusing thing was that the food is priced by kilogram, so it's a little harder to understand the cost if you're used to pounds. Other than that, the ingredients were good quality and the selection was solid. At this malatang spot, you build your bowl first and pay at the end. As for the food, I enjoyed it. I got the creamy tom yum soup, and it was sour and salty in a good way that paired nicely with all of the cooked ingredients. The sauce bar was good as well, with a nice variety of options to choose from. Overall, if I was craving malatang and already at Atlantic Times Square, I would definitely get this again. One big plus is that they give complimentary matcha ice cream served in a black cone. They don't really advertise it, but after reading reviews mentioning it, I asked after paying and they gave me one. Be sure to ask for it before you leave. read more

I had higher expectations. I tried both the bone broth and tomato broth. Both were watered down. However, I do like that there is no minimum weight. The ice cream at the end is also good. read more

Good malatang option before or after seeing a movie at the AMC. They also give out a free ice cream after the meal. Love their drink options, I got the avocado shake. read more

If you're craving customizable hot pot, this is a great spot. You build your own bowl by choosing from a wide selection of ingredients, including beef, lamb, shrimp, fish, beef balls, fish cakes, shrimp balls, fresh vegetables, and a variety of noodles. Once you've filled your bowl, it's weighed, and you can choose your preferred soup base and spice level. They also have a well-stocked sauce bar, so you can create your own dipping sauce to complement your meal. To top it all off, they offer complimentary ice cream at the end, which is a nice way to finish your hot pot experience. read more

We like this malatang chain better than others because their signature mala spice is not super numbing and you can actually drink the both without worrying about an upset stomach. For the signature broth I recommend getting the medium spice level for starters, then work your way up! My husband got the kimchi broth and that was very tasty as well. The ingredient line is quick and for party of two around 7pm for a weekend we were seated quickly. Sauce bar is free and they also give you complimentary matcha ice cream cones at the end of your meal. Parking is in the underground structure. This location is a little more hectic compared to the one in Rowland but the space is smaller and service was still decent. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Matcha Ice Cream - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

A popular hot pot restaurant, but kind of buffet style + choose your broth. The ingredients are good, and everything is charged by weight. Includes free ice cream cones for dessert. The Signature Mala Broth is not quite spicy enough, so better to order a level up for spiciness. I like the Spicy Sichuan Dry Pot (to minimize splashing!); if you put in crab sticks they usually get broken up while cooking but they're still there. Overall a nice dining experience and they usually have new drink promotions throughout the year read more

The food here is amazing! You pay by how much your bowl weighs so don't go too crazy. I usually get the signature mala broth and it's so good! 10/10 would recommend. There's a make your own sauce bar which I think is pretty cool too. They also give free ice cream at the end which is my favorite part. Service is good! they work very quickly and are attentive. There's plenty of seating inside. Sometimes there's a wait but the most i've waited was probably only 15-20 minutes for a table. read more

Great place for a casual late dinner if you're craving soup or hot pot. Depending on how big your appetite and your eyes are this can be a cheap or expensive date! You each get your own pot and can choose from the bar to add items to it. Pricing is done by weight. At the register you choose your broth and they will cook the soup for you and bring it to your table. Mine only costed $14 without a lot of meats. Pictured is the tomato broth I chose, but I wish I'd gotten a different one as I thought it was pretty bland. There's also a sauce bar to make your own sauces. They have late night happy hour drink deals so we got a mango lemonade for free. We both thought it was kinda disgusting and dish soapy tasting so maybe just get the milk tea. At the end of the meal they give you matcha soft serve. This place can get quite busy and bustling even late at night, but we know waited a few minutes for a table to be cleaned. Fun interactive personalized experience and will be back whenever I have a hot pot craving. read more

Been here several times! It's a pretty consistent spot, and you can't really go wrong. It is a bit pricey for what you get, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. The hotpot never fails me, and I like the topping selection. I keep my picks pretty simple, but everything tastes great. They also hand out free shrimp chips occasionally. I tried the avocado smoothie and wow... we did not like it at all. I had to ask the server if we could switch it out because it was honestly pretty disgusting. Luckily, they let us swap it for a brown sugar milk drink, which was much better. read more

Came on a Friday night as my friend enjoyed another location and wanted to try this one. Waited on yelp waitlist and was then directed to load our pot. Ingredients seemed fresh for the most part but some needed to be refilled. This place is so busy and I honestly do not get the hype. Maybe I didnt order the right soup? I had the tomato soup and thought it was bland. My friend had the signature mala one and said it was okay. He thinks the other location near rowland is better. They have a sauce bar by the restroom and omg it SMELLED so bad near the area like poopoo. I'm glad I wasn't seated near there. Some upsides I did enjoy were the fried chips and free ice cream! I think they tried their best with service but they were just so busy. read more

Tried out this self-serve, customizable hot pot experience for a weeknight dinner and I was surprised at how busy this place was. I got on the waitlist and ended up waiting almost 45 minutes. When my party was finally called, an employee gave each of us a bowl and told us where to sit. Each person picks their own ingredients, ranging from meats, seafood, veggies, noodles, condiments, broth, and more. There is a big variety of fish balls, vegetables, and noodles, but I feel like the meat selection could have been better. The total cost of your hot pot is based on the weight of your bowl. After weighing your bowl, an employee will take it to the kitchen to cook. Once it's done cooking, someone will bring out the ready-to-eat bowl to your table. I'm glad that when I received my bowl, it was still pretty hot. Many broth options to choose from, but these are my recommended broths: Collagen bone: made with premium pork bones, this is a light and nourishing broth. Signature mala: perfect for anyone who enjoys spicy and numbing Szechuan flavors. Tomato: a refreshing sweet and sour broth with a highly rich tomato flavor. Tom Yum: hot, sour, and tangy, this broth is very aromatic with explosive flavors. At the end of the meal, you can ask for their complimentary ice cream. They only give vanilla ice cream, no other flavors. The ice cream tasted delicious and was the perfect dessert to cool down after eating after hot pot. I really liked the ice cream cone and the smooth, creamy soft serve. read more

This was my first time here at big Way hot pot I'd come here for lunch with my family who had been here before They are located in Atlantic Times Square This place is not all you can eat despite what I saw on a TikTok video where a girl thought it was and she was spending over $100. And the process works is the way your item then at the end you pay how much per pound it is There's a good selection of different veggies and meat and different toppings and material you're able to customize how you want your hot pot The cooking process is actually fairly quick where when we were done paying and getting our sauces at the sauce bar. Our food was already ready in a team members that brought them over to our table. During lunch, you got an option for a drink and ice cream, which is a great way to accompany of the meal. It's kind of a fun place to come to in a great option here at Atlantic Times Square read more

Found this hotpot restaurant and it's a bit different from your usual AYCE hotpots or one pot type orders. This is similar to YGF where you'll get all your ingredients and it'll be weighted as you select your broth. Price can get pretty high if your bowl is heavy enough. I've seen from the ranges of $15 to all the way up in the $40 range. As for ingredients, it's pretty much got all the usual hotpot foods selections you can think of. Many places have limited fish ball options but not this one, so choose what you like. The options are practically endless in my opinion including noodles. Very happy with the wide variety of selections. Parking here is in a underground parking lot, very spacious and plenty of spots. Can get packed so watch out for that. This specific restaurant can get very busy. From ranges of 20 minutes waiting time to an hour+. Make sure to join the waitlist on Yelp or in person to avoid wait times. Broths are plentiful as well, spice levels are plenty. My favorite turns out to be the Collagen and the Tomato broth. I believe the flavoring of both broths fits very well with the ingredients I get. However, it's not anything too special compared to other same style hotpot restaurants. Only Pro I've give in comparison is that their selection is great and plentiful along with their complimentary ice cream cone that you can request to conclude your meal. Aside from that, my partner and I enjoyed a nice hangout with friends despite the long wait times. read more

This place is only worth it if you go during happy hour after 10 PM where they give you a free drink. It is a lot pricier than most of the other malatang places around and upon trying the other flavors it was clear that they only had a couple of good flavors. The containers for the sauce station are too small and they nickel and dime you for every little thing. We tried one of their new flavors and it was extremely bland. The Alfredo was supposed to have Parmesan, but they put mozzarella instead. Then they charged us for extra mozzarella. read more

It's expensive for what it is. They do have a after 10pm happy hour deal where you get a free drink if you spend over $18 and they are open pretty late 2am. The workers are pretty nice and friendly. I feel like the size and style of their bowls make things harder, like the sauce bowls are too small and their normal bowls are super wide. It's a fun gold esthetic but I don't care about it. The food is pretty similar to other hot pots, maybe slightly more seafood options. They also give you green tea soft serve when you pay for your meal read more

I love this place! I think this restaurant is very similar to YGF Malatang. I have tried the mala and tomato broths! I'm actually not a huge fan of the mala broth here unless it is non spicy (which is just high protein broth), but the tomato one is out of this world! The meat quality is actually so fresh here, better than YGF. And it comes with free ice cream at the end, you just have to ask for it! read more

Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I came on a weekday right when they opened and the experience was pretty disappointing. The first thing we noticed was the smell. As soon as we walked in, there was a strong sewage odor that stayed with us the entire time we were inside. It honestly took away from the meal, because it was constantly noticeable. It was even worse in the restrooms. The restaurant itself is really cute and I liked the overall décor. With that said, it overall didn't feel very clean. There were dark marks, smudges, and water stains on a lot of the furniture, which made the place feel less well maintained than it looked in photos. The service was fine. No one was rude, but no one was particularly friendly either. It wasn't bad, just pretty average. The food selection was honestly the best part. There were a lot of options. I've never seen such a full selection of seafood before. Broth was flavorful as well and the matcha ice cream at the end of the meal was a nice little surprise. I really wanted to enjoy this place. It honestly has a lot of potential, but the smell made it hard to overlook everything else. There is a lot of room for improvement. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the concept is great! I love that it's a customizable hot pot spot with plenty of options to choose from, and the restaurant itself is cute with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. Service was on the slower side. We waited quite a while to be seated because there was a large group individually paying their checks, and it seemed like only one person was handling seating. We were also seated in the back where the tables felt a little too close together, making it feel cramped. As for the food, it didn't quite live up to expectations. Everything came out very overcooked, especially the beef, which was so chewy it was difficult to enjoy. The soup was also on the bland side and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. They do offer a complimentary matcha soft serve at the end of the meal, which was a nice touch, but it was just okay. Overall, I really wanted to love this place because the concept and ambiance have a lot of potential, but the food was pretty mid. I'd consider giving it another try in the future, but I hope the food quality and service improve. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I've been a big fan of this spot and have probably been here at least 10 times now. Came back this past Saturday around lunch and I have to say I'm starting to notice a bit of a decline. The broths don't taste the same as before. It felt more watered down this time which was disappointing since that's kind of the main reason to come here. I even tried their new chicken broth this time and it honestly tasted like water. Service also seemed off compared to before. The staff didn't seem as upbeat and overall the experience just wasn't as smooth. I also noticed the place isn't as clean as it used to be. The restrooms were dirty and had a smell, which definitely takes away from the experience. I'm not here to bash the place because I still like it, but with so many malatang spots in the SGV now, it's harder to justify coming back when it doesn't hit like it used to. I used to think this was one of the best, but now I'm a bit more hesitant. Also tried the black tea ice cream they have now. It was okay, but I think I liked the milk flavor better before. I'll probably give it another shot in the future and update again, hoping it improves. read more

if ur ever having the late night crsvings big way is the way to go! was special about this place is that they open till 1 am which is nice because not a lot of asian food places in the sgv are open till that late. this place had a wide variety of soup bases compared to other malatang places I have visited. I got the spicy dry pot and i wish it was a bit spicier, I got medium so I will definitely try a level or two up the next time I visit. I was able to try the Tom yum and collagen broth from my friend's and omg so good. Tom yum was more on the sour side, which is expected, and collagen broth was so homey tasting. I liked that they had a sign up at the sauce bar that gave u sauce combo reccs which I thought was pretty unique. I kinda wish they had a tong per topping as u basically just ur tong to serve. even though the tong u r using is u unused, I feel like its still a bit unsanitary because u r using the same tongs to touch the meat and other toppings. read more

The prices have gone up and the soup base tastes bland and watered down. The pots and tongs don't look very clean either and they got someone of our orders wrong even though they clip the receipt to each pot ?? I definitely feel like the overall quality went down by far. Also I don't understand why the cashier asked if we were paying together or separate then requested we pay later when the individual price was already on the pos. Seems inefficient read more

Sinus destroying mala broth! I came here on a Saturday night for dinner with my family! This is located directly in Atlantic Times Square and it was pretty busy during dinner time so parking took a little time. Big Way has an online Yelp waitlist so you can join ahead of time to avoid waiting long times. Sometimes, the estimated wait time is inaccurate since it really depends on how fast/slow the previous table eats. The 30 minute wait time for us was pretty accurate and when we got there, our table was ready for us! I will say that the service is definitely on the slower side. There's quite a few people that work in the kitchen and service bar but when it comes to trying to find someone to get water refills or grabbing the check, there was no one to be found. I did notice that there was only one girl that was working the tables and you can tell that she was really overwhelmed since there's ~15 tables and she was the only one on the floor. The process is quite easy, your party grabs a bowl and tongs and you can pick what meats, seafoods, vegetables, and carbs you want! I love this because you can choose how much you want depending on your hunger level for the night! I would say that this place has a lot of different varieties of food you can grab which I love. They do measure by kg so it can get pretty heavy if you're grabbing whatever and thinking it doesn't weigh that much. My bowl was 0.550 kg and it costed a little over $20. The base price is 36.99 per kg so don't be too heavy handed! After you grab everything, you place your bowl on top of a scale and choose your soup base. I opted for the signature soup base in mild and I'm 100% sure they gave me hot because wow I was blowing my nose every few seconds and taking heavy sips of water. They also have a sauce bar where you can make your own custom sauce like what a regular hot pot place offers! My favorite combo is satay bbq sauce, sesame oil, sesame peanut sauce, and garlic! After you finish all your food, they do give you ice cream! This place will definitely fill you up and don't underestimate how much food you get because you WILL get full easily. read more

This place is incredible for both selection and also price, I really enjoyed the collagen bone broth as well, and my husband got the mushroom broth which was super umami. I only paid about $25 for my entire bowl which is such a good price, especially if you're comparing it to Haidilao. I am deducting 1.4 cleanliness and also service, although they are very busy, I do feel like it could be run a bit more efficiently. With all that being said, I will absolutely be back the next time I want hot pot. read more

My family and I went to Big Way Hot Pot at the Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. My experience there was alright. Not excellent. I gathered all of my protein, vegetables, and noodles in my bowl before I checked out. The people working at the restaurant charge me based on the weight of all of the ingredients inside the bowl. Then, I requested for a kimchi spicy broth. I cannot believe we chose a table that is very close to the window. Today is a hot day and I felt kind of hot sitting close to the window. The air conditioning was also not strong. The air conditioning surely needs to be improved. However, the interior looks nice. Once one of the waitresses served my personal hotpot, I tried a sip of the soup. The soup was honestly kind of bland. It is somewhat spicy, but somewhat bland. The protein (fish balls, tofu cake, shrimp balls, beef) and the vegetables (spinach, bean sprouts, wood ear mushroom, edamame) tasted amazing. The udon noodle was very bouncy and chewy. However, when we were about to checkout, it took a while for the waitress to check us out. That's what I do not like about this place. I do not like restaurants that have slow service. They also gave us a free ice cream at the end. I would rather go to YGF Malatang or another good Malatang place next time. read more

Big Way Hot Pot - Personal Hot Pot with Spicy Kimchi Broth - Asian Fusion Near Me - Monterey Park, California

It's a lot nicer compared to other build your own malatang places I've been too. Ingredients are better quality - I especially liked that they had beef chuck roll that had little fat. They also had abalone too which I've never seen at a malatang place. I had to try it and I loved it. Overall, the ingredients bar was very clean. Understandably, it's more expensive than other places. It does come with free 1 ice cream, though. I tried the Szechuan spicy dry pot on my first visit, which I found to be disappointing. I got it medium level and it was not spicy at all. None of the ingredients I picked out really absorbed the flavors from the dry pot so they ended up tasting really bland. I've had dry pot at other malatang places like Zhangliang and Pixiu, and not only are they cheaper, but the dry hot pot came out much more flavorful. Oh my second visit, I tried the signature malatang, and I enjoyed this much more than the dry pot. I got medium spicy again and the spiciness was a lot more pronounced than the dry pot at the same spice level. I enjoyed the flavor of the soup in that it wasn't overly salty. Going forward I'd probably opt for the hot pot over the dry pot just because the toppings absorb the flavors better. My only other minor complaint is the sesame sauce from the sauce bar. This was way too watery, that none of the things I dipped into it actually absorbed the sauce. This place gets very crowded, and I think the staff has difficulty keeping up with demand as the more popular toppings seemed to run out before they could be replenished. On my second visit, they were out of abalone, and it took a while for them to restock this, to a point where I almost gave up waiting. As far as hot pot goes, it's not my favorite in the area, but what really makes the visit worth it for me is the abalone. read more

We saw this restaurant while walking around the plaza one day and decided to try it out because the concept seemed nice - build your own from the meat/toppings provided. There was an extensive choice of toppings & many broths to choose from! However, at the time we went a couple of the meats to choose from weren't filled up for us to choose from and there was a decent line behind us so we felt pressured to just keep going to the next items. There were also veggies and other items that weren't filled up during our visit so we missed out on those too. I ordered the tom yom broth and I liked the broth! However the beef ended up being pretty hard and hard to chew - maybe just a bad batch? We'd like to try this again to hopefully give us a better experience! read more

My husband and I checked out Big Way Hot Pot on Monday, 1/26/2026 at 12:00 PM for the first time. I've gone to a few weigh-your-own hot pot, where you pick and choose what items you want to eat, and then you choose the broth. Big Way costs $36.9/kg so it adds up pretty quickly especially if you get heavier items. Please note that this is not an AYCE hot pot place. My husband got the Signature Spicy Broth (malatang style), which came out to $18.63 (0.505 kg at $36.90/kg). I ordered the Collagen Bone Broth, which cost $14.94 (0.405 kg at $36.90/kg). Both broths were tasty overall. His spicy broth leaned on the saltier side, while my bone broth was good but slightly bland, so I mixed in some sauce to adjust it to my liking. The ingredients were cooked fine for the most part, but our egg noodles were unfortunately overcooked, just sad, soggy noodles. They're also a bit sheisty with the broth. I'm a broth girl, so I wish they offered complimentary plain broth refills. They have a weekday lunch special where you get a small free drink with your meal. We both chose the Iced Grape Lemonade, which was very tasty and refreshing. Another fun perk is that you can request a mini ice cream cone at the end of your meal, which is such a nice way to finish your meal. I ended up liking the cone more than I expected! Indoor seating available: There was plenty of seating available, but the staff seemed hesitant about allowing guests to seat themselves. It may just be their management style, but I found it a bit interesting. Sauce Bar: There is a self-service sauce bar available. It can get a little messy at times, and it's located right near the entrance, which is also an interesting placement. All in all, I would definitely consider coming back for the convenience. The food was good, and I appreciate how late the restaurant stays open! read more

Pretty cool concept of paying by weight. It's $3.69 per 100grams which is 0.22lbs. You grab a bowl and tongs. Then start at the first station and work your way through. They have meat, seafood, veggies and noodles. When you pay, the bowl is weighed and you pick any of the 10 broth choices. You can also purchase drinks from the tea station menu. Your bowl goes to the chef, you can watch him through the glass window. He's cooking up the ingredients in your broth of choice and then it gets delivered to your table. During their happy hour, you get 1 free drink from the 6 choices. I'm not sure what promo they had but we went at noon on LNY and got to pick a free drink from two of the premade choices. For the free drink, we got grape lemonade. For the hot pot broth, we got mushroom broth. We wanted tomato base but they sold out. Hard to believe when it was only one hour into opening. The mushroom broth was a bit salty. I wanted to dilute it with water but that would cool the entire pot. There's a DIY sauce station. Afterwards, don't forget to leave without getting your free ice cream. If you eat there, it's a cone, we got it on the go and got popsicles. Overall, I really like this concept and we were able to share pots. If you dine here often, they have membership points to redeem prizes. read more

Hits the spot for late night soups. Joined the waitlist around 7:30pm on a Saturday, was quoted 30 minutes, but ended up getting seated around 8:30pm, and there was still a good number of parties behind us. But around 9:30-10PM, you can get seated immediately. Ordered: - #1 Signature Mala Broth - 0.420 kg @ $36.90/kg $15.50: soup was not as spicy as I'd like. I would def get hot next time. I preferred the chewy mung bean noodles, beef cut, and mushrooms. - Passion Fruit Green Tea, less sugar/ice $4.50: was like sugary water, wouldn't get again lol. needs more tea base. I actually liked the free ice cream at the end the most, with the thin crunchy cone. It was offputting to see old (darkened) shaven pieces of meat left on the meat cutter. Tables and water pitchers weren't the cleanest. I also think the sauce station and ingredients should be upkept more often to maintain cleanliness. I'd come back still to try the other broths, such as the collagen bone broth. read more

Pretty crowded -- seems like a popular spot for the younger crowd!. Overall, the broth base isn't too heavy, which I really like. We tried: * Signature Mala Broth * Collagen Bone Broth You pick your ingredients, choose your broth, pay by weight, and they'll cook everything and bring it to your table. $3.69/100g ($16.77/lb), i say go easy when you pick your food, don't get more than you can eat. I got less than a pound and it felt just right. read more

I'll be honest most of these new hot pot places are very similar to me where you weigh the food you put in a bowl and they cook it in the soup broth for you..... Similar experience at most of these places with good choices and good food and good broth.... I did get the tomato broth vegan style and to reduce salt/sodium I asked for 75% water mixed with 25% broth. Place is decently laid out we all the food along one side and than the cashier and the sauces on the front of the place.
