Speaking with a reporter from the Chinese publication, two members of staff clarified that it wasn't an increase in price, but the removal of the $6 bowl that they used to serve. A staff member who declined to provide their name said that the $6 bowl had less ingredients and lacked dried sole fish and dumplings. «Customers told us that the $6 version lacked flavor, so we eventually made the decision to remove the $6 option,» the employee said.
