This particular Mongolian grill place is different from your run of the mill Mongolian place. The difference here is that you don’t pay for your food by weight. They basically have 2 types of menu options, the all you can eat (self explanatory), or the pack your 1 bowl as much as you can. The price difference is fairly small anyways with both options under $10, even for dinner.

The way this place works is you go to buffet bar which has uncooked meat (pork, lamb, beef, chicken), vegetables and a assortment of about 12 different sauces you can choose from. They also have recommendations for different combos of sauces. The only downside is the meat slices are sometimes really small, when selecting you meat look for the large pieces as the small ones will just crumble up when grilled.

I usually go for the pack the one bowl as much as you can style lunch, as i have figured out you can pack quite a bit into those little bowls. The trick here is to actually lay down the meat flat when you are putting it into bowl.

Ambiance

Once you have your bowl full of what you want to grill up with your various sauces, you give your bowl to the Grill chef who is standing in front of a huge circular grill (you can see him from outside the storefront). The chef then begins to grill your food right in front of you with a talented display of chopstick skills.

Service

The service here is decent here. The place gets really busy at lunch, and sometimes there is a big lineup for getting you food grilled if you go at peak times. So i would advise maybe avoided the peak lunch hours whenever possible.

Summary

A great little place go to, for a cheap, filling, and entertaining lunch or dinner
