    There's an art to piling up your bowl
    Coco G.

    Almost no wait in line at 1:35 p.m. Love combining beef with cabbage, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli, baby corn, bean sprouts, and a few jalapeños. We ask for medium spicy sauce with two scoops of garlic. The guys working the grill always add extra noodles. I try to have cash on hand to tip them because they do a great job. Yummy and satisfying! Best eaten on site while sizzling hot, rather than taken home, in my opinion.

    I don't know what it is about this place, but I just love it. I was so excited to see this in the mall since they're gone from everywhere. Line was super long, but worth it. There's an art to packing in all of the meat and veggies without it spilling over, and they're really generous with the helping of noodles they put on top also. The guys cooking even add more noodles when there aren't enough. Smells amazing and tastes even better.

    Definitely a bit of a wait but worth the wait! Lots of options to choose from for protein and toppings. Reasonably priced ~$15 for a plate (enough for 2 meals)

    Of all the Mongolian bbqs, this one is a solid 5 stars. One, they don't care if you give your frozen meat a little loving to get more into the bowl. Anywhere else the meat is pre-measured or weighed by the ounce. The line is always long but it moves at a steady clip. $16.99 reg bowl, +$3 combo comes with rice, a drink, and soup. The soup was beef and vegetable; surprisingly good! I didn't understand eating rice with noodles. Ask them for extra noodles & they'll hook you up while your bowl is cooking. Be sure to add a nice tip for their generosity. Most of the customers before me did not which I was surprised but to each their own.

    A full container of food!!

    Mongolian grill is simply just delicious everywhere you go. I've never had any bad experiences anywhere including here! This place is packed because a lot of people love the food. It's easy to stuff the meat and veggies inside your bowl and really make the most out of it. But what really made me a happy customer is the hard working chefs who fry the food. They deserve tips! One of the guys noticed that my plate had a lot of meat and veggies. So he asked and offered me more noodles. I said yes! These chefs were so awesome and I feel like they don't get enough credit for their hard work. Thank you guys!

    Out of all the Mongolian places in any mall I've ever been to, this one is still the best. The portions are huge and if you fill your bowl with too many ingredients and they can't fit as much noodles on top, they'll add more noodles when they're cooking your food. You can tell that everyone who works here is always working hard. My only "complaint" is that they charge 10¢ for a to go bag when everyone else in the food court gives it to you for free but it's not that big of a deal.

    An old friend, usually met at the intersection of nostalgia & unintentional ambivalence. Someone you used to know, someone you used to see often and someone you used to love and perhaps still do. This is where I found myself on this fateful Sunday afternoon. Standing in front of this inferno of a sizzling grill where all good things are harmoniously combined. The combination of beef, pork, mushroom, cilantro, famous yellow noodles and the perfect amount of MSG. Don't worry boys and girls, what doesn't kill you only kills you later. Gengis Khan Mongolian BBQ, here next to me since 1999, although my faulty, aging memory feels like it's been here longer. Those long and memorable nights walking the mall was always accompanied by Gengis Khan, calling me with the alluring sound of the sizzling of culinary happiness. Parking may be difficult, the wait will almost certainly be long, not to mention hot but your belly will be full of food and love once this king size portion of noodles is devoured. That is until about four to five hours after you eat. This is when the MSG reminds you that we all have Gods we answer to. And the MSG Gods, although delicious are often cruel to the peace of your stomach. Be brave my friends!

    Love me some genius khan, shout out to them for doing it up with extra noodles bless! Only sad part is when other peoples toppings end up in yours i.e. mushroom and bean sprout sometime I gotta pick stuff out. Fire regardless.

    The workers here are so nice! I got a build your own bowl and love that i get to stack my own bowl as some other mongolian grills will serve you instead. The area was clean and there was a good assortment of veggies. Bag was an extra 10 cents but necessary for me since I'll be taking home leftovers and don't want any messes in the car. Total came out to $19 flat. Definitely my favorite location for mongolian noodles! Would come more often if I didn't live so far

    Mongolian BBQ is a rare sight at the mall these days. Genghis Khan is a staple at Brea Mall and a must visit. Super efficient and great service with a smile. I'm still trying to master the art of stacking and I get a kick out of every single time.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for years now and when I heard it was being remodeled I was a bit nervous the food quality might change but I was absolutely wrong. The bowls are still out of this world, offering four choices of meats and a ton of vegetables. Seemingly all the same staff works here and you can tell thes guys have honed their skills on the huge island grill. I love that I can customize my bowl exactly how I want it and it comes out perfect every time. The best restaurant in the Brea Mall hands down.

    The build your own with the option of up to 5 meats... where is the meat?
    Randall E.

    When you hear the name of a restaurant called Gangis Khan, you think "A meal for a hungry man" this meal was boarder line vegan! I ordered off of uber eats. It was a buy one get one free. If it was for that promotion, I'd be pretty upset. I had the option to pick up to 5 meats, I picked 2, and got less meat than a street taco. So act now on Uber eats to get 2 plates of 2 pounds of noodles and 0.25oz of a meat of your choice for $16.99. I imagine the extra charge of $2.99 for shrimp would mean you would only get 1 decent sized shrimp and 1 tiny shrimp. 100% would not recommend, unless you want to be disappointed.

    I love this place! It is in the food court at the Brea Mall, and for a decent price it is a generous portion! Although the bowl is small, you can fit a lot of meat and veggies into it. They don't care how much meat/veggies you use as long as it fits in your bowl. All the ingredients are very fresh, and there is a lot to choose from. It is definitely an art to stacking your bowl!!! At the end they are you which types of sauces you would like, and they add the noodles for you. They are seasoned professionals at adding the noodles on top, so don't worry about saving room for them! They will usually add some extra noodles while they cook your food if you want more, too! At the end of the line they cook your ingredients on a large flat iron cooktop, and then scoop it into your Togo container, this is great because it's likely you will be taking some to go due to the large portion size! Definitely best bang for you buck in the Brea Mall food court!

Upon entering the restaurant, well lit interior with wall painting of Mongolian grass field was seen. The restaurant was very clean and created a comfy dinning atmosphere. There was no outdoor seatings at all. The server was speedy, got us seated within seconds. The menu was simple to read. The price was very reasonable. Food preparation took slightly longer than expected but well worth the wait. The lamb xiaomai was delicious with ground lamb meat and thin wrapping. The beef population like pan cake was delicious too. There is a condiments and soup station, you can fill up your bowl as many times as you want. Very delightful. The lunch order also included complimentary salty milk tea or yogurt. We were definitely satisfied with the portions. The service was good Overall, this place is a gem, and definitely worth returning to try out other dishes. It gets a 4.8 out of 5.

    Mandatory 15% tip for ZERO service? And they can't refill some radish?…read more I really wanted to like this place because the concept of Mongolian pies is unique in Rowland Heights. The food itself is decent--the pies are juicy and the lamb soup is hearty on a cold day. However, the dining experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't ignore it. Here's the thing: 1. The "Service" Fee (aka The Silent Robbery): They automatically add a 15% tip to the bill. Normally, I'm okay with this for good service, but here, the service was practically non-existent. We had to flag someone down just to get a water refill. It feels less like a tip and more like a mandatory surcharge that goes straight to the owner while the staff couldn't care less. 2. The "No Refill" Rule: We ordered the Lamb Radish Soup. The broth was good, but when we politely asked if we could have a tiny bit more of the radish (not even the meat, just the veggie) from the kitchen, we got a straight-up "No." For a place charging premium prices and forcing a tip, being told you can't have a few cents worth of radish is just insulting. In short: The food is 3 stars, but the principle of the thing (bad service + forced tip + stingy refill policy) drops it to a 1. If you want to try the pie, do yourself a favor and order takeout to avoid the mandatory service charge that doesn't reflect any actual service.

    Came for a casual Friday lunch with the family. Service was fast and easy with a very simple menu…read moreand the food was ready very quickly. There were only 3 main options: 1) lamb shank, 2) lamb ribs, and 3) lamb skewers. All halal and made with New Zealand lamb which was awesome! We tried all 3: one plate of the shank/ribs combination (which came with a bed of rice, pickled veggies, and a bowl of soup) and also one order of the lamb skewers which came with 3 skewers. Everything was excellent but the lamb shank was truly amazing and my favorite item - the meat was outrageously tender and just fell off the bone as I tried to take a piece - we had the shank just basic with no rub. The short ribs were a close second (we had these with the bbq rub and it was tremendous if you wanted more flavor). The skewers were decent - we had them plain because I didn't want anything too spicy but I would def recommend getting the rub for these if I were to get them again. The pickled veggies balanced the heavy meat and rice items perfectly to round out the meal. We also tried the jasmine yuzu tea drink and the homemade yoghurt which ended the meal nicely. I'm not a fan of lamb in general and generally avoid it at most restaurants, but I was loving every bite. Would highly recommend to try this place if you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner.

    Came on a Sunday around 12pm and there was no wait. We were seated immediately…read more == FOOD == Our table of 4 shared 2 plates of the lamb rib/shank dish (one spicy, one non-spicy). We also got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and a Hot salty milk tea. We also got 3 lamb skewers! The rice of the plates was savory and salty and paired well with the lamb. The carrot side dish was very delicious. == SERVICE == We order through the QR code at the table. Staff are very quick to bring utensils and water to the table. Food came out pretty quickly as well. == AMBIANCE == Quite a small store, seats around 26/28 people. There is indoor and outdoor seating.
