    I've only seen all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets like that.

    I've seen restaurants by weight or by plate, but never by scoop.

    I wish that existed near me for when I just need a little scoop instead of gorging myself

    Very common in Buenos Aires, except it's not per "scoop" but per gram. Many of them are vegetarian.

    Is there more than one? I don’t live in Denver but I live up in the mountains and have seen one of these places in South Federal. Would be cool to know of others.

    Yes, this reminds me of a restaurant I went to in Wisconsin several years ago. Though it was a buffet, so as long as you ate a decent amount of food you could get this for the stated price point.

      There's a few Asian buffets here too. The one I went to in Colorado Springs had pretty bland food but at least it was clean

    Asian buffets around here are always all you can eat, but cantinas often charge per weight and have scales at the checkout.

    We have all you can eat Asian buffets as well as places that will sell you a "China box" with noodles or rice, a sauce of your choice and three scoops of whatever meat or vegetables you pick. The all you can eat buffet will cost you USD 24 while the takeaway China box will cost you somewhere in the vicinity of USD 7.

        It's overly sweet breaded meat mixed with rice (you never mix with rice!) No wonder the mayos like it so much. Because cultural appropriation is fun!

          cultural appropriation

          American Chinese cuisine was developed by Chinese Americans
