New Mongolian BBQ

This was our first time here. The staff is very friendly. Decent ingredient selection and sauces for creating your own personal favorite noodle or rice dish. Wonderful atmosphere for outside dinning. The ingredient sauces were a little bland, and I did put several ladles of sauces on. You’ll need to tweak with S&P, soy sauce, etc…. Chili is plenty fire though. Egg rolls had the flavor of old fryer oil, that was a little disappointing and possibly an anomaly. We will try again in the future.

Good selection of meat and vegetarian options, but the cook used a lot of water, which ended up making the food a bit more bland, despite me having lots more sauce their options suggested (I guess I have to add even more next time!). Service was really good and we got seated right away and they quickly brought out the soda we had requested (cans though, no foundation soda). Having both indoor and outdoor seating was nice, but kind of expected for Castro Street.

Buffet style with meat and vegetables. Curry sauce was a good fit but other sauces were not impressive. The meat would shrink after cooking so needed to get another round.

Food and service was wonderful. What you see is what you get- they have the meats and vegetables labeled. All you have to do is pick up what you like and pour some of the delicious sauces ( which is labeled with their recommendations) and it is cooked right in front of you. It is a unique experience. Definitely a must for meat lovers. I also liked their ice-cream cone. Very flavorful and a delicious way to end the meal.

Went for dinner to the all you can eat. First time here and maybe because my friend knew what to do, didn’t feel like we had much customer interaction or guidance. I liked all of the protein, veggies and sauce choices. Had a lot of variety and could choose to go vegetarian if you preferred because they did have tofu. When you go thru the line of food choices you can use two bowls or one. We both used two and it helped to make one large portion sized plate. You could make just one bowl of toppings and make multiple different plates (since it’s all you can eat). Portions are what you make them so that’s nice. I used a lot of the sauces but didn’t feel like it had as much flavor as expected. A fun experience and if you pace yourself, you could try many different versions of the Mongolia food options. They also fry up all your toppings and sauces on a giant hot plate so it’s a fun experience to watch. They also have free fried egg rolls. Which unfortunately tasted just like friend dough with no filling. Also free vanilla ice cream which was pretty rich and creamy that you can get in a cone. About $25 a person. Very filling and would go back. If you don’t finish your food, you can’t take leftovers home. (We finished ours but a bit disappointing for food waste.) Wish they had the option to weigh your leftovers and pay for them by the pound maybe? Would be nice to be able to take home food and not waste food too.

Food was fair. The meats were tough. The food was cooked perfectly. Make sure you try a small bowl first to see how the spices and sauces will turn out. In my opinion, the sauces are overly watered down, and I should have put much more sauces in my bowl. The staff never asked if I wanted a soda, beer, or wine. The staff never removed the empty plates or bowls. There was no chocolate sauce for the ice cream. The place was clean.
