Chaos Mongolian Grill -- Where You're the Chef of Your Own Feast If you love food that's as unique as you are, Chaos Mongolian Grill in Chattanooga is your playground. Here, you don't just order a meal -- you build it. Start by picking your protein from a lineup that covers all the cravings: tender chicken, juicy steak, fresh fish, plump shrimp, and more. Next, hit the seasoning station like a pro -- dried chopped onions, garlic powder, garlic salt, and plenty of other flavor-boosters are ready to make your creation sing. Then, pile on crisp veggies, crack in some eggs, and drench it all in your choice of sauces. For the base, I'm a noodle loyalist (they soak up every drop of flavor), but rice, cabbage, and other options are on deck. Once your masterpiece is stacked sky-high, the cooks work their magic on the sizzling grill and bring it to your table hot and fresh. It's not all-you-can-eat, but the "stack it as high as you can" rule means you'll still leave full and happy. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the grill team keeps things moving so you're not staring at your empty plate for long. Yes, the building shows its age, but honestly, the flavors are so bold and the experience so fun, you'll barely notice. If you're ready to unleash your inner chef and eat exactly what you're craving, this spot delivers big. read more

Chao's Mongolian Grill - Bowl with fried rice and all the vegetables I desired! - Mongolian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Stop reading and head over here! Favorite food of our trip to Chatt. Mom and pop Mongolian grill that offers both the typical build your own bowl OR the option to do a seafood boil. Highly customizable, as you grab a bowl and make your way down the food bar to choose proteins, veggies, seasonings, and then build your own sauce bowl. At the end of the buffet, you hand them your bowls, tell them what starch you want (rice, brown rice, or noodles) and they hand you a number to place at your table. Our drinks and soup were there waiting for us when we got back to our table. So many options to choose from and our table faves were steak, shrimp, chicken, pineapple, broccoli, water chestnuts, zucchini, carrots, and the noodles. Make sure to utilize the seasonings, as we had to add more once we tasted our food. Favorite kid sauce combo was teriyaki, sweet and sour, with sesame sauce. I really liked sesame, teriyaki, Chao favorite, and a touch of Szechuan (which has a touch of garlic and chili pepper) We had discussed driving down to Chatt for the day, specifically to come back to this restaurant, if that tells you how much we enjoyed our meal. Our picky children proclaimed that this was the "best restaurant EVER," so you know it's good! read more

We stopped here on the way to Florida, it's our fourth time and this time we brought friends. Unfortunately we left disappointed the sauces just didn't seem flavorful, the food took a long time to get to us with half almost done before the other half received the food. The staff behind the counter looks miserable and angry. The food itself had little flavor and the rice was mushy by the time we got it. I'm sad because it's hard to find Mongolian restaurants but this was a let down. read more

This is a Chattanooga favorite. The food is good, plentiful, and if you order the BBQ, you design your own dish. The owners are *very* kind and hospitable; they make everyone feel right at home. read more

I'm doing this review before receiving my food due to the best customer service I've ever received from n any dining experience. The whole staff from the gentleman doing the seating to the young woman behind the counter explaining how everything works to the gentleman who you give your bowl to so they can cook it for you, I'm the extra raw garlic guy!! If I lived around here, I would have definitely be a regular. read more

Amazing people run this restaurant and the food comes straight from the amazing chefs. Put simply, this food will change your life. It is an exquisite dining experience tied together with a crispy fortune cookie. Get the soup, get the noodles........ god I love this place. read more

I have been coming here since they opened the doors. I always got the bowl with chicken and vegetables for many years. But found out recently that they have a secret Korean menu as well ...today I chose their fajita chicken with lots of mushrooms onions peppers and zucchini. It was amazing. I love this place because you can make it healthy if you want read more

Great food, excellent staff! A no brainer for hot, fresh food. Ample parking and convenient location.

I used to love Mongolian grills but haven't seen one in awhile. We have gone twice after visiting the Tennessee Aquarium. Really good food! Friendly people! If you've never been to one, you build your own bowl.Choose a protein: steak, chicken, shrimp, fish, then add spices, vegetables and pick your sauces and they grill it and bring to your table. read more

I love love love Chaos Mongolian Grill! I have been coming here for the past 8 years. I usually get chicken with a lot of vegetable and brown rice, but if you are vegetarian they have Tofu. and if you don't want carbs they will switch rice for cabbage! there are so many spices meats and veggies to choose from. I am always happy to come here It is so good! I also like the staff they are so friendly! read more

Fantastic food and incredibly nice, friendly staff. My family's favorite restaurant for the past 8 years.

First time and does not disappoint. The crab Rangoon was so good and we both created dinner bowls that were delicious. Very casual...fast, great when you walk in famished. Will skip the salad next time. The hard part is deciding on your sauces. Can also skip the starch and go for protein and veggies for a low carb option. Will definitely go back gain. Our server was very helpful and took great care showing us the ropes for our first visit. read more

Amazing food and service, you get to create your own bowl from lots of fresh meat and ingredients. I got a fajita chicken and steak bowl with fried rice and noodles, very very good. read more

Chao's Mongolian Grill is fine for a standard "choose your own food adventure" sort of restaurant. The food is always in good order, veggies are crispy, and meats are chilled. The sauces offer a decent variety for different tastes, and you can also sprinkle in a variety of other spices. But, what I really love here is the Korean menu. Up until recently, there has been no printed menu. But, now they have a two-page set of Korean offerings that are really solid. The prices are a tad high, but the portions are really big. Don't forget to ask for kimchi, as well, to round out your experience. I enjoy coming back over and over. Some of my favorite meals are the Jap Chae, Jam Bong, and the Ja Jang Myun. read more

Such an unexpected gem! Although the outside appearance and atmosphere isn't this most appealing, the food is amazing! Build your own bowl made however you want. What more could you want?! Service is always quick and friendly. One of our favorite Sunday, after church, lunch stops. read more

I was thrilled to come across a Mongolian Grill in Chattanooga. I have never noticed it before and was sad when Genghis closed. I immediately chose to eat lunch there. There was no wait. The service was efficient and the selection was great. I will definitely be returning and telling others. It is a little dark inside and older building but I didn't see any red flags regarding the food. read more

Chao's Mongolian Grill - Grill Area - Mongolian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Great vegetarian options, good prices and the staff was very helpful since it was our first time. Busy but well organized.

We stopped here for dinner during a road trip. Due to Covid, in lieu of walking the ingredient buffet, we were given a piece of paper and had to check off our protein, vegetable and sauce ingredients. The food was prepared pretty quickly and was very tasty! I had noodles with chicken and pork along with veggies and I think teriyaki sauce. My husband chose rice with similar options/sauce combo. Both bowls had a good portion size and we both had leftovers we enjoyed later in the day. Nothing was overly greasy and our waitress was lovely and packed everything well for our road trip including offering to go cups of ice for our drinks. read more

Excellent food. We picked our protein, then some vegetables and finally the sauce. And then riches, or lomein noodles Son loves pepperoni, so had that with chicken, shrimp , and noodles with his go to sesame sauce. Seems strange to me with pepperoni, but he liked it alot I had shrimp, chicken, crab meat and added some tofu, water chestnuts, celery, then an egg for scrambling, with noodles. Mixed with orange plus teriyaki sauces. Excellent flavor, perfectly prepared. Nice portion too. Wife had about a dozen shrimp, with 2 egg, corn, water chestnuts, and pineapple, brown rice. Same orange and teriyaki Also had pot stickers steam instead of fried. Very accommodating on a few things. Staff patient, and explaining and helping Exceeded our expectations. read more

So I'm in from out of town.. and when I tell you if I lived closer to the boarder I'd be here all the time Loved the food! Everybody in the family was able to fix their food to their liking. The options to put your items and seasonings took it up bitch. It's one of those hidden gems Chattanooga has. When I come back, you bet I have to stop by here. Lo Mein Noodles read more

First off, they'd only let Corey buy one meal at a time. So he had to go through the whole buffet line, pick veggies, and pack them into the TINIEST bowl, then wait in line for them to cook it. i understand how Mongolian works I've had it before. For $14 for one meal of all veggies (i think a 2 year old could have eaten all the veggies) and tofu, that's a joke. Also I don't eat oil, and I swear someone added oil to my dish. I'm grossed out with a stomach ache now. Also, please learn to make brown rice. it's clumpy and horrible. An overall terrible experience, don't waste your money. read more

I love this place! Highly recommend. Good food and good service everytime. You can make your own bowl with a ton of ingredients for a good price, it's a good date night place. However if your going during COVID just know they make your bowl for Nd you pick off a paper menu. However you still leave full. Dinner for 2 usually cost $30 or less. read more

I haven't had good Mongolian BBQ in a long time. Is this the best I've ever had? No, but it's good. Interestingly enough you are charged by the weight of your bowl. Ok, I get that they don't want people wasting food, but I think it's kind of a weird way to treat your customers. They have lots of choices for proteins and veggies. Typically the Mongolian BBQs I'm used to they take frozen meat and slice it really thin and then put it out on ice. This place just puts out big chunks of meat and while they are on ice, I was a bit leery of getting chicken or seafood. I want to be assured it's safe to eat. I went with good ol' beef. I piled my bowl high with veggies, lots of water chestnuts, onions, carrots, celery, bok choy, cilantro, napa cabbage. You have to pile the bowl up because when it cooks down, it shrinks by half the size. They also have a good selection of different sauces and seasonings. They don't call me the "Condiment Queen" for nothing. I put lots of garlic and light spices on it and used their house sauce. I tasted a couple of the other sauces and really, they all taste pretty much the same. I added a bit of chili to give it the spicy and sweet combo I love. You have a choice of rice, fried rice, noodles or tortillas?? Ok, kinda of an odd choice but I guess it goes with the fajita flavored chicken they offer as well. I went with plain old rice, but really could have done without it. My bowl was good. Just a basic stir-fry meal. Nothing to brag about but solid food. They did also offer up a seafood boil selection. My friend and I decided to try their shrimp boil with the K-Asian sauce. Man - that was fantastic! I would come here just to have that. It was a half-pound of really nice sized shrimp in the spicy cajun yet asiany type sauce. So rich and delicious. Seriously, that's a great meal on it's own. Next time I'll just do that. The service was friendly and attentive. Our server actually was the one to recommend the K-Asian shrimp and she was right on point. The BBQ is just fine, but that shrimp is to die for. read more

I come here fairly regularly for lunch due to it's convenient location to my workplace. On first sight of the exterior I was slightly hesitant to try it out, but other positive reviews encouraged me. The lunch special comes with soup, which is mostly just broth. You fill up your bowl at the front of the restaurant with your selected ingredients in typical Mongolian BBQ fashion. You have an option of white rice, fried rice, and noodles. I've tried both the fried rice and noodles and they are both tasty. The food has tasted fresh and has been cooked very well every time I've gone. I typically try to sit towards the very back of the restaurant, just to avoid leaving with the smell of the food on my hair and clothes since the kitchen is open to the eating area. Lunch time typically is not too busy, I'm always able to sit down, eat, and return to work in under an hour. read more
