That, or whatever you can fit in the box.
Recycling one of my dad’s stories. Nearby to UCLA a million years ago, there was a mongolian bbq. Where you pick your meats, veg, sauce, and they add noodles. It was whatever price for as much as you could fit in a bowl. Like $10 per bowl say. The poor college kids used to engineer the frozen thin sliced meats to increase the diameter of their bowl. If the food when cooked couldn’t fit in a single bowl, the cook would put the finished dish in two bowls. This went on for quite a while before they changed to pricing by weight.

You should see me building a salad when it’s priced by the volume instead of by weight.

Just ask for a to-go container and get what you like from the buffet. As long as the top closes you’re good to go. I don’t abuse this with bulging boxes. $10.71 tax included. I once watched a guy with what I consider a full box, smoosh the lid down to make room for a few slices of some kind of dessert pizza. Takes all kinds!

Some take-out buffets in Toronto used to let customers fill a container as full as they liked, for a set price per container.
Another place weighed the amount people took from the buffet, much like the salad bars in NYC, or the Whole Foods hot table / salad bar.
One of the Chinese buffets in Toronto stopped offering take-out buffets because some customers (mostly families, rather than college students at that location) would get greedy and take all the meat or chicken out of the stir-frys.
