This is a proverbial hole in the wall. Love the concept, create your own bowl and the chef cooks it! The chef and staff are very friendly, food is delicious and the price is very reasonable. Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

Loved everything about this restaurant. I would have given it a 5 Star Rating except the meat was frozen and tough after cooking. I will still go back because prices were reasonable and service was outstanding. read more

We were driving through Wilmington. NC and looked online for an Asian buffet restaurant. We decided upon Bdobo Mongolian Grill. For those unfamiliar with the concept, you fill a bowl with raw ingredients (meat/seafood), vegetables, noodles, tofu, and sauces/oils/seasonings), which are then cooked on a giant grill by the chef. Bdobo Mongolian Grill provides All-You-Can-Eat BBQ for $11.99 (lunch until 2:30 pm). Higher prices after 2:30 and for dinner. The meal includes a bowl of either hot and sour soup or egg drop soup, a bowl of either white or fried rice, and a small piece of fried bread. Food (4/5). There was a good variety of ingredients on the buffet, and a big variety of sauces. I was a little disappointed with my first bites as the six scoops of sauces/oils that I had selected weren't enough to make it sufficiently flavorful. However, adding some soy sauce from the table corrected that! I was also a bit disappointed that some of my favorite Mongolian BBQ ingredients weren't on the buffet -- notably mung bean sprouts, snow peas, baby corns, and scallions. Also, the waitress brought out soups to our table while we were still in line waiting for our main food, so the soups were lukewarm at best when we were ready to eat them. Value: 5/5. Service: 5!5. Our waitress checked on us regularly, and was very friendly. When she saw that our plates were empty, she made a special point of reminding us that it's all-you-can-eat so "you should eat more." (We didn't!) Ambiance. (3/5). This is a two room restaurant, with the front room bring brighter than the back one where the buffet and grill are. A black ceiling makes it feel even darker. That said, the restaurant appears to be popular with locals as most of the tables were full even though it was getting late for the lunch crowd. Parking was free and plentiful. We would eat here again. March. 2025. read more

We came here just before dinner time- mainly because it is AUCE and we missed lunch. Good news is- there's always a place for all you can eat- this was that day. It had protein choices:beef, pork, light+ dark meat chicken, tiny shrimp, surimi crab& tofu. Lots of veg, lots of variety of sauces(need6+ ladles full of to make it seasoned). Overall, it was a decent meal(2plates apiece) of food. If wasn't So hungry , in retrospect, would have picked somewhere else. Good Waitress was on it- clearing plates + filling H2O. read more

Great food choices,make it the way you want. Customer service is very good. I go twice every month.

Your employee named Alex (chef). When he came out to speak Spanish to the OG chef with the cinco de mayo comment; you lost my business for good. I could understand everything he was saying; when he starts slamming plates/bowls around when he gets upset as well as throwing something at the bathroom wall was super odd....this place used to be amazing. read more

The staff here is always so friendly. Lots of options at the grill! Love coming here and trying new sauce combos.

I love this place. The food is fresh and I choose exactly what I want to put on the grill. Plus, it's all you can eat, which is right in my Baileywick.Lunch is $11.99. How can you be that? read more

The food was so so. The soup tasted like water. They only have soda to drink. The service was good and the waitress was very friendly. I didn't even eat my meal. Very bland. The sauce you choose from is like water. Not real sauce. And zero taste. I will not be back. read more

First time visiting this restaurant.....it was hard to imagine from the online presence but it was very different than expected....no wine or beer served (it was online on the menu they had wine and beer) so that was disappointing but ok...moving on. Food was ok.....its amazing they have the set up very organized so that all worked fine. Not sure i will go back for dinners though. I like a glass of wine at dinner. Maybe lunch is better option. read more

First of all, the woman who greeted us and took our table order was fantastic! She was very sweet and did a wonderful job keeping us informed of the process as well as keeping our drinks full. There was a group next to us, that was talking loud (swearing and talking about adult stuff), so we tried to tune that out. You get your choice of hot sour soup and egg drop. Egg drop was a little thick for me. I will try the hot sour soup next time. The little bread was good, and we took down two bowls of fried rice. For the meal, you grab a bowl and fill it buffet style with raw veggies, seafood, and meat. The veggie selection was decent but it was a little messy. The seafood is baby shrimp or imitation crab. Meat is chicken, pork, beef. They were all frozen and the beef was slightly browned (I assume from being frozen?). We all got beef, however, since that's what we like. We didn't notice the sign that said the chef recommendation is 6+ ladles if flavored oils/sauce. We only did a few so the flavor wasn't strong. On my second bowl (yes, 2nd do it was good) I used one of the seasonings on the counter. At the end, the wonderful woman who took care of us the entire meal brought out orange slices and fortune cookies. We loved the sweet oranges and she brought out some more. That was so thoughtful of her! She made sure we enjoyed our food and checked on us the perfect amount of times. I will eat here again. Service was wonderful and food was decent. read more

Bdobo Mongolian Grill - Beef, jalapeño, broccoli, onion, zucchini, spicy chili oil sauce (background egg drop soup) - Mongolian Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

4.5 for Experience, What a Fun Cool Spot ! And 5 Stars for the Chef ! Very Tasty and Unique !

Orange chicken and egg drop soup were good. Calamari was chunky and rubbery. Wouldn't order that again. Service was fast.

Amazing food service ! All the staff are so friendly. The place is okay. But everything in general is amazing

We tried this based on yelp reviews and fond memories of Mongolian grill from 20 years ago in New Brunswick, NJ... it didn't disappoint. I loved being able to combine multiple vegetables with my own sauce combos and a bit of lean protein! My favorite sauce combination was oyster, soy, teriyaki, ginger plus small amounts of curry, sesame, and hot oil. While the ambiance is very basic and a bit run down, the food was fresh and well-prepared. The service was friendly. I will return if I'm in the area again. read more

Very good food at a very good price. Well worth the money, and very hospitable! 10/10

Was slightly confused when we walked in. Had to figure out the setup by watching other patrons. The meat had been sliced, but was frozen solid, making it hard to add to bowl. Once we got it ready the cook did his Mongolian grill magic. Waiting was awkward. We got stuck in a corner as the line outpaced the cooking. Once we got our food it was delicious. Giving it a solid 3. read more

I'm happy as heck to have a Mongolian grill in the area. If you've never been, here's the haps- you get a big ole bowl and get to fill it with whatever protein( they have beef, chicken, shrimp) , veggies ( and I mean everything they include- cucumbers, baby corns, snap peas) and then you dollop on the sauces. Don't be stingy! They burn off so get yourself some dunks of garlic, hot oil, at least 8 ladles. Then they heat your creation up and present it to you. I like to add noodles so it's a total Atkins nightmare over rice but it's a nice treat. Sprinkle on some peanuts or sesame seeds and you're good to go! If you get takeout from here, which is my usual, you also get a choice of soup and their hot and sour is great. Just an added bonus. Always a solid choice for a great lunch or dinner around $15 or so . read more

Came here for lunch today. What a nice spot! And I'm so glad that it has stayed wonderful over the years. The people are super nice and welcoming. The cooks are very skilled and friendly. It was a great experience all around. To start off, they offer soup (hot & sour soup or egg drop soup) and rice (white or fried) for free. You can get more with no additional charge. To make your meal, you will start by grabbing one or two empty bowls and go around the counter of ingredients filling your bowl/s with all kinds of vegetables and meat and later sauces. At the end of the counter you would hand your bowl/s to the chef who will cook the food for you. It's fun to watch on the side where you can wait quietly or have a casual conversation. After it's done, the chef will skillfully transfer your dish on a plate which you will take back to your seat yourself. The cool part is you can go back and get more rounds if you want. It's all you can eat. All for the low price of $10 (weekday lunch, but other times are not a lot more expensive). I highly recommend this place. It's a nice, cute, budget-friendly spot for everyone to enjoy. read more

I love Mongolian, the food was very good, it's a make your own style bowl. Pick the food you want and then they cook it for you. I've been to Mongolian grills before this one was a little unclear on instructions, I wanted two meals for me and my husband they told me one but I got two bowls and then they combined them? It was very confusing but the food was yummy! read more

What a great Mongolian BBQ we have right here in Wilmington. Amazing food! Healthy, exactly what you want on your plate--you pick it out!

Yum! I love Mongolian BBQ and was happy to finally check out Bdobo. We went for lunch and it wasn't too busy, so we were able to get in line and build our own bowls quickly. I liked the selection of meats and veggies (though I wish they had tofu-- at least I didn't see any) and their sauces were pretty good too. I only wish they had some chili garlic sauce (not just chili oil) to amp up the heat level. This is a nice inexpensive place to get your bang for your buck. read more

Very poor example of a Mongolian Grill. I don't mean to be negative or spread any hate, but I can't believe this restaurant maintains their health permit. Definitely a one and done visit for me. read more

awesome food & great service ! I felt welcomed the moment I walked in . our server was very sweet. read more

Comparing to other Mongolian establishments I've been to, this falls way short. They do not have the selection of meat or seafood I am accustomed to. No shrimp or scallops. Calamari was frozen as well as was the other meat. None of the vegetables were labeled and waiter could not tell us what vegetables were what. They offered egg drop and hot soup as if it was a Chinese restaurant. The spices and sauces were not labeled how mild or spicy they were. And finally they did not offer an egg to cook in with your meal. This was just a bar with food cooked by two non-Mongolian cooks,cooking with sticks. This is NOT a real Mongolian experience.

Terrible service! The staff was rude and inattentive. ... "The hygiene standards at this place are appalling. ... "I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. There is also one person who cooks the food and has a attitude, because no one is helping him. The food was terrible and the guy dosen't even cook it all the way leaving it raw. SAVE YOUR MONEY PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT read more

Food is fresh! Very generous meal, ans service is excellent! It is all you can eat, and they even serve soup to your table

This is a pretty decent place. Just don't expect to see fruit, desserts, sushi, salad bar or prepared foods. Everything is hibachi style dishes. For $11.99 all you can eat, its definitely better than any fast foods you can order. read more

Good fresh cooked to order all you can eat lunch or dinner. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend

Great place to go when tired of the typical places you eat and want something different. Used to be flaming amys bowl but found Bdobo sort of fills the void for rip flaming amys bowl. Good service as well. read more

Great service, great food. So good even our youngest picky eater liked it. We'll probably visit again when in Wilmington when craving Mongolian BBQ or when we can't decide what we want to eat. read more

Pretty good Mongolian Grill in Wilmington. We went on a Sunday. They were supposed to open at 11:00 but when we arrived at 11:20, they were still closed. We were about to leave but the hostess (waiting in her car outside) told us that they would be opening shortly. A little unusual, but we waited bc I didn't know of another Mongolian Grill nearby. After a few minutes she invited us in the restaurant so that we wouldn't have to wait in our hot car. It's all you can eat and you choose what to put into your dish. There is a good selection of veggies, meats, and sauces. It's an assumption that you will include noodles in your dish. There is a sign that suggests 6 scoops of sauce but if you have less than a full bowl, I would recommend no more than 5. I would also suggest staying to watch while your food cooks, especially if there is more than one dish being cooked on the grill. Otherwise you may not know which plate is yours when he's finished. No one will deliver it to your table. I think it is a good Mongolian Grill restaurant and I would consider returning when we are in the area again. However, I think I think it's a better value during the week. It's pricey for their Sunday brunch. read more

This place is so underrated. I've been coming here for years now. It's always the same friendly staff. They remember me when I come in even if it's been months. They always greet me with a smile, keep my drinks filled, and make the experience enjoyable. The chefs are also just as great. The hot and sour soup is my favorite. I could eat it everyday. It's a small place with a lot of love. You guys will always have my business. Thanks for making the entire experience enjoyable! read more

Heck yeah!! Bdobo is great!! Never go to a chain Mongolian grill, they're garbage...this place is legit. Get a ton of food, at an awesome price and get whatever u want. Idk what else to say about Bdobo besides it is a must visit restaurant in Wilmington read more

Super nice staff and great food! The restaurant was pretty quiet when we arrived but after a little bit more people came in. As a vegan I was worried about cross contamination, but the guy on the grill cleaned his utensils and separated my food from others. The options were good, but I wish there was more of a variety of veggies. Overall it was good and pretty inexpensive. read more

we'll never go again. almost no one was seated. over 2 dozen people were standing in line to 1) fill their bowls, and 2) to get it cooked. one cook for all these people and one stove. the itty bitty tiny shrimp bowl was empty. this left chicken or hard frozen beef. no hard tofu. green beans were hard frozen as well. this is all you can eat, but we weren't going thru that ordeal again. it was just impossible to get thru that line. the staff was great- all of them. we left hungry of course after paying $13 for one dish of vegetables. this is all about vegetables and it is very healthy. the food is good certainly, but we'll never return. that poor cook was working himself to exhaustion trying to keep up. read more

We stumbled onto this restaurant in a very nondescript strip mall. Although it's outward facade is unassuming, the food was amazing! Very simple process of selecting your vegetables,choice of protein and adding any of the fine sauces. The chef them takes your plate and cooks them on the large circular hibachi style grill... the. VOILA! Dinner is served! read more

Bdobo Mongolian Grill - Really good and ultra healthy! - Mongolian Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Nothing better than a good Mongolian BBQ. Service is always great and employees are friendly. For some of the folks complaining about seasoning.... here you go. 3 wine, 3 teriyaki, 1/2 garlic, 1/2 chili flake ( i prefer a whole) ladle. I believe there is also a a bbq , add 3 of that. You're seasoning you're own food , dont complain about it being bland. Understand also a lot will burn off so dont be shy. Well worth the visit. read more
