I think I'm just not a huge fan of Mongolian bbq spots. I don't ever get the sauces right and it turns out to be a bit too bland for me. This spot was nice and close to my hotel, food and prices were good and the service was solid. I just didn't find it too tasty overall. read more

Mongolian BBQ on Overland is my go-to--super fresh veggies and meats, a friendly crew that says hi like they know you, and flavor that honestly beats any other spot; the line's clean, sauces are easy to pick from, the grill adds that perfect smoky sear, portions are generous, and it's fast and customizable--highlights: **fresh**, **welcoming**, **killer flavor**, **clean**, **quick**, **big portions**, **great value**. read more

I really like this place. The staff are happy and always make me feel welcome. The owner is especially friendly and talks with people coming in to eat. The sauces are full of flavor, much more than some of the other Mongolian BBQ places around town. I like it well enough that I normally eat here once a week. I also like the discounts offered to seniors and military service men and women. Oh, they have some good specials too. The Wednesday special is the one I like the best. Pay for a small bowl and get a medium. If you pay for a medium, you get a large. read more

My buddy and are huge fans of Mongolian bbq stir fry, the name #1 Mongolian bbq is a horrible representation of the quality of the food and the service received. The noodles were poor quality very thin and not flavorful not to mention the bin was empty when we got there and we had gotten the newly cooked ones. The sauces were not great either, they tasted watered down and even with a full bowl of sauce and then some the noodles didn't taste like they had enough. The owner/chef (cowboy cook) charged both of us extra even though we both made sure we stayed below the 2 inch rule. The building was also very hot inside easily 75°+ we were sweating and this was beginning of February. We also did not receive rice when we asked about it or if we would be offered a discount for the missing part of our meals we were told that it was optional, my buddy made sure to tell the cowboy cook that we optioned in for it... safe to say we didn't receive our rice. Bad service, bad quality food, I would recommend the Mongolian bbq on broadway and Boise ave, much better. Food was so poor I didn't even finish the leftovers. read more

Love the food here! The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful, we had a slightly larger group of 8 and they were great! Our server explained the process, you can either get a small, medium, or large bowl. Only the large bowl is AYCE. Most of our group went with the large bowl only because we wanted to try different sauces/flavors. If you get a small or medium bowl many people pack it in, but they do have a height limit over the bowl. You pick your veggies/toppings, meats, nuts, they have one type of noodle. Then you add your sauce, I recommend mixing, if you need recommendations the staff was very helpful. Add sauce and once you think you've maybe already added too much, add another 4 scoops. Each time we went up they had to tell us to get more sauce. Apparently the moisture helps with the cooking. They give you a small bowl of white rice in case you did a stir fry without noodles. Overall an excellent experience, we left there completely stuffed! read more

I love Mongolian BBQ. Anytime I pass a place and get the chance, I go. I live in California and we have quite a few places within a drive able distance from me. Overall, the service was above standard. It was a taller man in his 20's, and he genuinely made me feel welcome and got me seated right away. The overall look of the place was tidy, and the cooks appeared to be cleaning consistently. The only downside about the ambiance was that there wasn't much energy - a lack of music, or much to look at, maybe? On the other hand, the food wasn't all that good. I got the all you can eat and although the first bowl was good-ish, the second was very dry even though I doubled the amount of sauce I put on as the first bowl. It's almost as if the sauces are watered down, as the flavor was nonexistent. They have you put on a TON of sauce and even if you double the amount they need to cook it, the flavor doesn't get any stronger. It's also more expensive than any place I've been to in California, which for the taste, was a little disappointing. They do however have a good amount of selections of veggies, and meat. I definitely missed having some teriyaki sauce though. When I got home, let's just say my stomach wasn't very happy, which was new to me in terms of Mongolian BBQ. Overall, I can't really recommend this place. I think there's definitely some steps they could take to improve their food, especially after being open for so long. I'm sure some would enjoy it though. read more

Im over this place. Have been here a handful of times. Customer service was horrible this time. my wife had a small bowl. Staff comes by and drops off a box to take the rest home. Wife eats a few more bites. Still food in her bowl. Same staff walks by and decides she no longer needs to take the rest of her dinner home and takes box away. dont get me started about walking up to the cooker with a not piled high medium bowl and the kid says that i need a large bowl.

Not all Mongolian BBQ restaurants are the same. 1 Mongolian steps it up a bit. Yes, the ingredients are pretty much the same as other M-BBQ places in town, but perhaps they are a bit fresher here. Yes, the wok gets just as hot as other M-BBQ places, and here the whole cooking area is kept super clean and organized. Yes, they have lots of sauces, but here they keep the sauce area really clean. It's really nice. One thing that they do here (or allow you to do here) is to include more sauce with your food-stuff. Allow me to explain the proper procedure for a delicious M-BBQ meal... First, place our meat in the biggest bowl that they have. Don't skimp. Second, add your favorite veggies, and don't forget the peanuts. Third, add the noodles on top. You always end up with more noodles that what you expect, so don't worry about trying to pile up as high as you can. You'll have plenty. Fourth, fill up the bowl with sauce. I like the mongolian sauce, and the bbq sauce at this step. Keep adding sauce until you can see it rising up in your bowl. Fifth, add two scoops of hot oil. Add more if you want it spicier (duh). Sixth...and here is the special secret part... Get a small bowl, and fill it up with more sauce. For this step, I like to get the curry sauce. The chef will add this sauce to your meal after it cooks for a bit. I noticed that other M-BBQ places will squirt water on the meal about half way through when the original sauce cooks off, but here they let you get more sauce to add to the meal (instead of water), and I think that makes it cook up better and the end result is a better tasting meal. For us, this place is a bit out of the way, but we end up going here fairly often, just because we like it best! ========== My mood ring is missing, and I don't know how I feel about that. read more

This specific Mongolian is my most fave in Boise. I'm vegan gluten free and am hard to please. Let me tell you what sold me was the fact that I asked for extra tofu and they got me extra tofu in 5 minutes. The grill chefs cleaned the entire flat top to get rid of any animal products.

Was looking for a comfort food place as my day was full of annoyances and I found just the place, after squinting at the place to see if I was in the right spot. The sign wasnt on so I wasn't sure at first. It's perfect for a quick grab and go. The place was quiet dimly lit and a few flies buzzing around. Only a few customers filled their beaten up seats, but to be fair I expected all of this hence the to go order. I got the only thing you can get there, noodles, meat, vegetables with your choice of sauce, which was still great. This place could use a serious cleaning. The stick used to help with cooking was stored in a very filthy garbage bin with black stains on the side. The food was great but the filth and the flies made me regret my choice upon arriving home. There are other locations that are much cleaner and better in appearance. read more

I will say the woman working the register was very friendly so my one star is for her. She smiled and got me some water and rice at a table and I went over to the buffet style area to pick out my meats, veggies and noodles. I placed them in three separate bowls as that's how it worked a Mongolian grill restaurant I used to frequent in another state and the chefs there cooked them separately on the wok but then mixed them together and plated them but I guess that's unusual here. The chefs here cooked everything separately and boxed them in separate to go containers. The lady was on the phone and didn't tell them I was planning to eat at the restaurant but she got off the phone as they were boxing up the food and then they started arguing in their language. I said "it's okay, it's already boxed up so I'll just take it to go" and she rung me up and apologized a few times. It wasn't a huge deal to me but their arguing definitely was unprofessional and awkward for me as a paying customer. What really makes my review one star only is the food itself. I got to my car mixed it together and took a bite and even with the sauces I added, the food is so bland with watered down noodles, not the freshest of veggies and hard to chew meat. I stomached a few more bites but it ended up being a waste of money. It's now a little over an hour later and my stomach hurts even though I really didn't eat much of it. I won't be back.

Mongolian is Mongolian. The food isn't the best but isn't bad, and most importantly it's cheap and…read moreyou get alot of it. My review unfortunately isn't for the food. The guy that greets you is always so sweet and nice. But every other employee in this location is rude, and smug. They all have a mean look, they raise their voices at guests, are extremely unhelpful and are overall unpleasant to be around. They also close half of their line at about 6PM and will yell at anyone who tries to use the other side. I get pre closing but doing it three hours before you close with 15 people sitting and about another 15 in line is unacceptable. I love Mongolian, but after many attempts I've decided to not ever come to this one again. Such a shame

My special place!

Mongolian Grill - Cooking the food, If you did not put enough sauces on, they will add water to the food to keep it from burning, I always use LOTS of sauces

I love that I am in charge of how my food tastes. If it is not great, it is my fault. I almost forgot to take a picture it was so good!
