    The best!! Been around for years. I've been enjoying food here since I was 5. Now I bring my kids here. I love the whole family - Connie, San, Kim, the whole crew!!

    Fried Wonton strips with sweet and sour

    We've had our eye on Chang's for a while, but after another great suggestion from a colleague we decided that we would finally stop by. We walk in and the staff is already super nice, immediately asking if it was our first time there and explaining how things worked. It's your typical Mongolian BBQ restaurant, lots of meat options (chicken, beef, pork, lamb) with plenty of veggies, noodles, and sauces to choose from. The recommended sauces were pretty tasty, but another thing that sets them apart is they have some seafood towards the end of their bowl line- shrimp and calamari. I tried two different bowls (I was really hungry) and neither bowl disappointed me. I tried a beef bowl and a chicken bowl, while my fiancé both chicken and beef into her same bowl. I also tried a few of their shrimp just because I'm not used to Mongolian bbq having any seafood. When we returned to the table with our bowls full and our stomachs empty we were greeted with two bowls of egg drop soup, a large bowl of rice, and a plate full of crispy fried wonton strips. Now finally onto the food- it was all superb. The sauces, meats, veggies, and starches all came together for a wonderful meal, like I said earlier I enjoyed it so much I had to go back for a second bowl. My fiancé loved her bowl as well, but could not finish and had to take it to go. The egg drop soup was good and extra thick if you like that, but personally I'm not a big fan of egg drop soup. Chang's is likely one of the, if not the best, local Mongolian bbq places in the Rancho-Folsom area. We will definitely be returning at some point to fill our bellies again. PS don't forget to get a cone or bowl of soft serve after you've finished your main course!

    Best place in town! The chef and the stars are always so kind, welcoming, and beyond helpful! They always have classic side dishes waiting for you when you arrive. And most importantly the food is delicious. You get to make your own bowl, and add your own flavors to it. I will always come back to this authentic place!

    Lunch bowl & sides

    I love coming here for lunch. They serve soup, wonton chips with sweet & sour dip and white rice. You can choose meat options, two different noodle sizes, many veggie choices and then create your own flavor with a variety of sauces and oils. Staff is friendly. You can get a to go box at lunch if you've just had a single bowl. Bonus *like* when the ice cream machine is working. Vanilla soft serve, cone or bowl and chocolate or strawberry sauce.

    I'm a big guy with a big appetite, and this place always hits the spot. I've been coming here for 25 years, since I was in high school. I've been abroad for a decade and came back to visit, and I'm so happy the quality is the same, and saw the same friendly staff. Ice cream machine after an awesome meal. I really love this place.

    OMG sooooo bomb! I can never get enough Mongolian Grill
    Jennifer S.

    Chang's has been one of my favorite restaurants in Folsom since I was in high school. I've tried numerous other Mongolian Grills in other nearby cities, and have yet to find any other that I like as much as Chang's. I believe lunch and dinner are both all-you-can-eat, but you can only take home leftovers on your first bowl. This has never been an issue for me, as I've never been able to finish my first bowl, and always end up taking some home. The price is the same no matter what you put in your bowl. I usually start with chicken and beef (seafood options are only available at dinner), and then add tons of my favorite vegetables, such as pineapple, bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, mini corn, onions, etc. They do a pretty good job of keeping the buffet line stocked and clean. I don't think I've ever had an issue getting enough of whatever ingredients I wanted. Even though the noodles are located in the middle of the buffet, I put them on last. It's much easier to pack down noodles over veggies than vice versa. Once I've stacked my bowl as high as I can, I move on to the sauces. I noticed that other reviewers have complained about the sauces being watered down, but I think that's just because they are cooking sauces, not finishing sauces. I've never thought my food came out bland. I usually add at least a little cooking oil, a lot of cooking wine, garlic, ginger, and then whatever else I'm in the mood for. I don't have an exact formula, but usually add anywhere from four to eight scoops of sauces. It comes out a little bit different every time, but I've never been disappointed. I've loved every bowl I've ever created here. If you don't want any part in creating or assembling your own food, then, this may not be the right spot for you. If you are bringing friends, you may want to make sure they understand ahead of time that they will have to put their own bowls together. I recently brought a friend who made statements like, "I shouldn't have to make my own food. I could do that at home." Maybe some people could, but, as someone who lives alone, it's highly unlikely that I would ever have this many fresh vegetables and ingredients in my fridge all at the same time. Prices have gone up recently, just like they have everywhere else. I remember when a lunch bowl cost less than ten bucks per person, but now it's nearly twenty. Still not bad when you consider that I got like four meals out of my last bowl. Way back in the day, Chang's used to have a full menu, and diners could choose whether to order from the menu or the buffet. I'm not sure exactly why they got rid of the entire menu, but I miss it. They had some of the best cream cheese wontons around. Aside from the AYCE bowl, a meal at Chang's includes rice, wontons with sweet and sour sauce, and dessert. The dessert varies, but usually includes soft serve ice cream with optional sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and strawberry sauce, as well as some sort of jelly roll cake. I definitely don't come for the wontons, rice, or dessert, but usually end up eating some, anyway. Overall, Chang's is still the best Mongolian BBQ spot I know of. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I grew up eating Mongolian bbq at malls and was so excited to see a stand alone restaurant!

We had lots of fun with our different strategies to fill our bowls as much as possible. The staff was pretty attentive and refilled any stations that were running low. I love how customized the noodle bowls are and was able to adjust my sauces to my taste. I appreciate that they have a few recipes posted for reference.

    All You Can Eat-ish... Bar-B-Que…read more.. I was excited to find out there was a Mongolian BBQ in Auburn. For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.
