10/10 service! They are all so nice and the food was so delicious! It was so cool to watch and I will definitely be going back.

The food was fresh and a great variety. Best Mongolian Grill I've ever eaten. The buffet area was clean. Bathroom was clean. The service was wonderful. I'm definitely going back! read more

10 out of 10 recommend, I walked in and let her know it was my first time she literally walks me through the whole process. I made my food, but I definitely did not have enough sauce so the man who cooks the food helped me and added more. All the meats, vegetables and noodles were super fresh. I absolutely will be coming back. Not to mention the complementary soft serve at the end. **bring cash for your tip, at check out there is no option to sign or add tip unless you say "please add this for gratuity" so either tell them before they run your card to add it or bring cash** Again I will be a returning customer!! read more

Chang's Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Folsom, California

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! read more

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! read more

Chang's Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Folsom, California

Where should one go after a nice hike along the river in Folsom? Mongolian Grill. It's been years since I've been here, so glad to revisit again. It's like nothing changed. Same level of great, attentive service. Love the dingy hole-in-the-wall type vibe. I came here for lunch with a group of 7. Arrived 11:30 am before the crowds came. Seated quickly and we were served wonton chips with dipping sauce, rice and egg soup (upon request). Self serve your ingredients. Years ago I don't recall them requiring gloves, but I truly agree and commend them for this approach now. First for hygiene purposes, but secondly use for smashing down your meats, veggies and noodles into the bowl so you can more bang for your buck. My eyes were more hungry so I took advantage of breaking down the frozen meats and crushing the veggies. Smart move? I think so as I walked away with left overs lol One rookie mistake I made was not saucing my bowl enough. Pro tip I was told was to double, triple the amount of sauce you think you need. They add water to your ingredients as they cook it. If you think you need to do AYCE - think twice. If you attempt the above method by smashing down your ingredients into the bowl, you'll have more than enough. Trust! I topped off my meal with self serve ice cream. Tastes just like Mc Donald's!!! A solid meal post nature adventure. Glad to have revisited this place after many years. Still a great resto. read more

Mongolian barbecue is delicious. They have great food great service good prices and friendly atmosphere. Very good food.

Literally the worst Mongolian food ever. The guys working the grill are rude. Wasn't very clean inside around the buffet area either.

Went to a late lunch here with a couple of buddies. We eat here about once a month. This is also my son's favorite Mongolian BBQ place and we stop in here whenever he's in Folsom. Your lunch includes wonton chips with sweet & sour sauce and a large bowl of white rice. The variety of items for your bowl is great. Beef, pork and chicken for meats and they're all tasty although I prefer the beef. The servers are always nearby and keep your drink topped off. The restaurant can get a little warm on those super hot days in the summer with the giant griddle running but it's manageable. Also be aware, that while the lunch is a bit less expensive, you are only allowed to make one trip through the line. Honestly, one trip is all anyone should be making as I always leave full. read more

I dined here on a Friday evening. The place was busy but we were quickly seated and given appetizers. Wonton chips with sweet and sour sauce, with white rice and soup. Wonton soup was good but was lukewarm and lacked flavor. Food: AYCE Mongolian BBQ I love that they provide gloves before entering the preparation station. That's very sanitary. They offer a variety of meats; chicken, beef, lamb. They were all good quality. The vegetables were all well stocked and fresh. The sauces were plentiful. I add a little of everything with extra kung pao and chili oil. The chefs turned my creation into a delicious bowl of happiness. I also extra loved that the water they used to cook the noodles, meats and veggies were taken from a stainless steel electric kettle. I've never seen this kind of thoughtfulness in a Mongolian BBQ before. They usually just use tap water to cook the noodles. Nice touch, Chang's :) My food was so delicious... Service was excellent. I look forward to coming back and creating a delicious bowl again :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

Chang's Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Folsom, California

"Tried for the first time and I wouldn't return. Seems like the sauces are watered down and so much water is used when cooking. No true flavor. Didn't care for the soup. The fried wonton chips & sweet & sour sauce was good. My favorite spot is Silver Garden on Madison Ave. Will return once they reopen. read more

Great deal and delicious food. Make sure bonuses a lot of sauces and don't overdo it with the noodles. The soft serve is a nice way to end the meal. read more

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. read more

Best Mongo ever! Fresh veggies, reasonable pricing, and great service. Food is excellent especially if you put in the right amount of sauce.

We tried this friendly spot after a trip to the Folsom zoo. The meat and vegis were fresh and abundant. The service was friendly and fast. I see other people complaining about watered down seasoning, this is simply how Mongolian grill works. You use lots of sauce to steam the food and flavor. I used 12 scoops. The flavor was great and the food hot and fresh. The ice cream machine was also a hit. The inside of the dining area is somewhat dated, but not an issue for us. read more

Great food in kind of a hidden location. It was packed when we walked in, and as first timers, I can now see why. Everything was really good. Highly recommend :) read more

Pretty decent Mongolian grill, the one I used to go to in Elk Grove closed down so checked out this place. There is an option to do all-you-can-eat, but one bowl is all I need. Plus if you do one bowl and you don't finish your food, you can take the leftovers home. They have an okay selection to put in your bowl. The strategy is to smush all your ingredients down to make as much room as possible. I usually do noodles last since everything else can fall out of the bowl. If only they had noodles as the final option instead of having it in the middle. Can't complain about the sauces. It depends on you to add your own sauces and how it turns out. Our table came with soup, rice and fried wonton with sauce. Soup was so-so but the rice and fried wonton had filled me up plenty that I barely finished a quarter of my bowl. They also have vanilla yogurt available for dessert. The guy waiting our table was friendly and provided good service. For the price you pay I'd say this is pretty decent and the plus is that you get to take your leftovers home. For me that's like 2 or 3 extra meals! read more

Let me tell you it smells so good from the outside to the inside of this place. The mongolian barbecue was good. I went at lunch time on a sunday and you make your own bowl. The one thing I did notice is they didn't have the shrimp or Oyster selection out. I don't know if they don't serve it at all or that was just because it was lunch. I also didn't see a buffet option but wasn't looking for it. The one bowl was enough especially if you stuff it pretty good! This is kind of random but cool is they have an ice cream machine and cones at no additional charge. I was pleasantly surprised about the flavor of the food. I would go back for sure when craving Mongolian. The only thing was their white rice wasn't cooked to perfection like some other asian places but its just an appetizer anyways. They also bring out some type of sauce with pork rind looking chips. The service was just okay nothing to write home to mom about. If you are looking for some good mongolian at a decent price this would be the spot! read more

Been going here for 25+ years and it always hits the same! Wouldn't want to go anywhere else for Mongolian BBQ. The ice cream machine is so fun too! read more

Food was great and very affordable. There was no wait and we were seated very quickly.

Always good here! The veggies are fresh and the service friendly. My son's favorite place to go!

The cooks were also kind of rude and gave me an attitude and threw my food down on the thing like they were just in a bad mood

I drove about 55 miles to go to this place. The food is very good. I had two bowls for $23.

Walking into this place feels a bit like going back in time. the interior is older, the wear and tear on the carpet + booths reflect its fine old age. I love that you build your own bowl of food exactly how you want it, down to every ingredient. If you have allergies though (gluten especially), this is not the place for you as all the food is prepped on the same surface and soy sauce abounds. The service is sufficient; your meal comes with wonton chips, rice, and soup. They have a soft serve ice cream machine as an added bonus if you still have room at the end of your meal. Come hungry and eat your fill! read more

Chang's Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Folsom, California

I've been to many Mongolian bbq places years ago so when I found Chang's nearby, I was super excited. Straight on the door, they showed you the All-You-Can-Eat price. I was a bit surprised as the price has increased in the past few months (looking from some previous pictures) but no problem as we were craving for dinner. When we entered, one of the staff noticed us. He pointed a booth for us and asked us to go straight to the buffet. They provided disposable gloves to keep the spoons clean. They have thin sliced pork, beef, chicken, and lamb, as well as tofu for protein. They also have shrimp & squid (previously frozen) at the end of the line - after the sauce section. The vegetable looked fresh and there were lots to choose from. I was super disappointed with the sauce. They were all watered down. For the first round, I put a ladleful of each sauce that I wanted but after it was cooked, the food was bland! So, for the second round, I put two ladlefuls of each sauce and still it was bland. For the third round, I basically doused my bowl with sauces and it finally tasted something. Also, the squid pieces that I picked wasn't cooked - was still raw & rubbery. With AYCE, you'll get a big bowl of rice, soup, and crispy wonton chips. The soup was bland. The crispy wonton chips were good. Overall, it was too expensive for the price. The meat & veggie quality were good but the sauce was meh. It was a solid 3.5 stars for me. read more

Lunch prices have gone quite a bit higher since my photo in 2022. As of September 2023, lunch is $16.45 and dinner is something like $18-19. Not so great of a price anymore. Teriyaki sauce is pretty much like water (no flavor) whereas my mom said hers with soy sauce was too salty. Ice cream is only vanilla and extremely sweet. The crispy chips and sweet and sour were good though! read more

Very expensive comparing to what we get. Egg flower soup was terrible with no refill. Waitress just say we ran out even though it was still another 90 minutes before they close. No eggroll just a basket of wonton skin. Since they only allow one bowl at a time. After the food was cooked, it was like 5-6 bites of food and you have to go do it again. The whole restaurant filled with grill smell. So be prepare for that stink. read more

I appreciate this place a lot for their unlimited ice cream but I don't like the taste of any of the meat. The cook is super nice but it's almost unsanitary, I don't think it's cleaned often read more

This place is my favorite restaurant. It is comfort food at its finest. The food is prepared on a large circular grill, where the chefs practically dance around it while stiring and tossing your plate of happiness. The wait staff are attentive and you'll start out your visit with a bowl of rice for the table, fried wonton wrappers, that act as chips, with some sweet and sour sauce, and a small bowl of egg drop soup for each person. They have the best selection of toppings for your bowl, including water chestnuts which I have struggled finding elsewhere, and a wide variety of sauces. The first bite is always the best, and the second best is at the end, where I recommend adding a spoon or two of rice to your bowl to absorb any sauces left over. My only grievance is that you can only take home your first bowl, once you get your second you cannot take home your leftovers, which is unfortunate as I can usually only make it halfway through my second. read more
