I've never eaten it at a restaurant, I've only been served it in a Japanese home. It's always been shared when I've had it - as in there'd be a big pot of it in the middle of the table, and then you'd take out whatever you wanted and put it into your own, smaller bowl. We would usually crack raw eggs into the smaller bowl and then put the meat and other ingredients in the egg before eating it. I always wondered whether that was actually safe, but I didn't want to trouble my host family with it - I figure if they can eat it, I can eat it too.
