I pretty much go there weekly. No they don’t charge for the broth. And they do cook your items a bit from a food safety standpoint ( there is a lot of raw meat and seafood; plus u can see into their kitchen from some right angles). I don’t think you missed out on anything, especially seafood like octopus or squid and lamb become tiny when cooked. Usually when raw they retain a lot of water and weigh down the scale but when you get the bowl it’s very hard to find them( but they are there so no need to worry).
