If I'm ever in need of food while at the Brea Mall I typically find myself grabbing some Mongolian BBQ. It's good! Yes it is pricey, but it's definitely something you can share among two people. The prices have increased over the past couple of year. I believe just for the bowl, not the combo, it's about $10. You fill up your bowl with either raw beef, chicken, pork, or turkey. Then you move on to the veggies which include onions, green peppers, zucchinis, mushrooms, baby corn, and a couple of other options. The last station is the sauce station. Luckily, they already choose the sauces for you, but they do ask if you want garlic and/or any spice on your food. The lines can get pretty long, so just be prepared to wait. Yes, the cooks TYPICALLY give you more noodles if you tip them. The food is good compared to other Mongolian BBQ locations. The downside is they do typically stare while you're preparing your bowl. I guess they don't want you pressing on your food with a napkin. You'll notice a couple of people doing this just to add extra food to their bowl. Smart, but prepare yourself for a nasty glare from the cashier. read more

Gengis Khan - Mongolian Near Me - Brea, California

Since I've been coming to this place for 10 years, and will continue to come, that probably means this place deserves 5-star in my book. But I do have some comments. First, I don't need to describe what it is. Everyone has described it in detail. But at regular lunch and dinner time, the line is always long. The long line used to block the eatery to the left of it, but for few years now they have this rope separating it. So yes, you would have to wait, and people generally move slow thru the lines, and especially slow if they clean the grill. Long time ago (maybe 5-10 years ago), the single-bowl price was $7.99, and they had a combo deal (with rice, soda, soup) for $1 more. Recent years, right before the renovation, the single-bowl price was $8.99, and combo was $9.99. I thought the combo deal, for $1 more, was pretty good deal. But now after the renovation, they increase the single-bowl price to $9.99 and got rid of combo deal. You'd have to pay separate for them. Just like everything else, their prices have gone up too. I recall before, when they cook, they will automatically grab more noodles, regardless if you tip of not. So they perform first, then some people tip. Now, most of them don't automatically grab more noodles. If you ask, they will give you. Certainly, if you tip (and show them you are tipping) they will add more noodles. So basically, its $1 more for more noodles. One of the best thing here is the taste. I've been to many Mongolian BBQ places, and this place has a very good taste. For those who say there's not enough taste to it, just tell them to add more sauces. Also, I have gotten some sauces afterwards to add in, still tastes good. Yes, they take the bowl and add sauces for you (probably because some sauces are far from the counter line) and add noodles, then they give you back the bowl. Reason they don't take it directly to cooking is the curved counter line is on the outside, so you'd have to carry the bowl and follow the line. Even though their prices have gone up, I will still come here, though with their price increase they are getting closer to the AYCE Mongolian BBQ places. BTW if you like Mongolian BBQ, there is a place called Big Wok in Manhattan Beach, I also highly recommend it. read more

To much oil and water tasteless not worth coming here the cook are very rude and they only care about there tips

Hands down my favorite place to eat at the mall! So delicious, and very vegetarian-friendly. If you want a drink, it's actually cheaper to just buy the combo that comes with a soup and rice instead of buying a drink separately LOL. I fill up my bowl with veggies like lettuce, bean sprout, mini corn, onions, and mushrooms :D I like my bowl medium spicy with lots of garlic! I also get sriracha in separate cups to make my noodles even spicier. I just pour the cups in my bowl of noodles and stir! If you give them an extra dollar tip, the people cooking the noodles will throw on some extra noodles for you. This is perfect if you're splitting the meal with someone else! Beware of asking for too many extra noodles though, because that can take away a lot of the flavor. read more

I ate here today and while eating my soup I came across a dead fly! Very repulsive and gross! I told the employee and showed her the fly she called the manager who told me he would gladly replace my soup. I just had half of the soup with a fly in it and you want to give me some more fly soup? No offer to buy my lunch or to come back another day... poor handling of the situation. I asked to have the owners contact information so I can let them know what happened and that the solution of giving me a replacement soup is not a viable solution and they should probably throw away the whole pot to not give any other customers who knows what... disgusting! Probably won't ever eat at this establishment again! read more

In all seriousness, I was considering working at the Brea Mall, just so that I would be able to eat Genghis Khan everyday. I love this place. Hands down, best mall food (along with hot-dog-on-a-stick, no i didn't forget about you) I like how you can add however much you want/don't want in your bowl. On a practical sense, this is a great alternative for vegetarians as well. Also, when the people cook my food on that big round burner, my face is always as close to the plastic as I can get. I look like a ridiculous 4 year-old girl looking into a candy castle. But I'm waiting for my delicious mongolian BBQ. I highly recommend this to any and all mall-goers who are in need of some sustenance. Can't wait to go back to the mall so I can eat here! (: read more

Eh, pretty pricey for shopping mall food court. Noodles tasted mediocre and I expected bigger portion. They don't always give you extra noodles if you tip, just saying. There are better options in the food court. read more

love it... if the noodle-tosser thinks you're a cutie, he gives you extra noodles! hook it up my good man! also, its a better buy if you order the mongolian combo with the rice and drink. its more expensive if you order the mongo bowl and drink separately. sneaky sneaky... read more

Great food! Very similar to any Mongolian BBQ. Start with a bowl and you fill it up with meats which were not completely rock solid frozen like some other locations. Then you pick some veggies and then they add the sauces for you. But let you control how spicy and how much garlic is added to it. It comes back piping hot and ready to be demolished. I only wish they would do rice since noodles can be filling. Rice would be a fun addition but probably wouldn't cook well on the grille. read more

Be prepared for a long line here during lunch and dinner! This is the only place I eat at when I'm at the Brea Mall becuase it's soooo good! Lots of choices for toppings. read more

Good food, but be aware that the line can get VERY long on the weekends. I try to stay way from this place on friday, saturday and sunday. I noticed that the people cooking the noodles on the teppan grill tend to give you extra noodles if you're a girl. I mean, it's a nice gesture but a little odd. The food is good though if you come during the off times/days and it's always one of my first choices when I come to the mall for food. Better than great khans and is always clean at the stations. Just wish I knew what sauces they had so I knew what was going in my dish. The sauce station isn't labled like Great Khans read more

I must be a cutie because the noodle-guy gave me so many extra noodles, he had to put my lunch in two containers. My boyfriend and I shared a huge lunch with left-overs for $9. The only thing that sucked was having to pay .64 cents for a diet coke refill but it's an asian place, what do you expect, really? Don't forget to tip!! read more

The cashier was very rude and I witnessed she yelled at the cook across the restaurant because I asked for more noodle and I was confused, I gave them tips too and now I regret eating there. I asked for less oil, they gave me a lot of oils. read more

Ah... Memories... When you are young and think this place is great but when trying again as an adult it tastes like crap....soggy tasteless food that's overpriced! read more

Surprisingly good. One is enough for 2 people to share. The meat is frozen, so you gotta push down the meat to fit more veggies in there.

I usually love this place but I came here and I got my food and as I was eating it I noticed a bug in it and when I complained and asked for a refund the cashier gave me a dirty look and the other employees just glared at me. They were so rude and didn't even apologize about the situation and I had to ask twice to get refunded twice before they did anything read more

Not nearly as good as Great Wall on Imperial Hwy & Harbor. The bowls are small, the vegetable selection is limited, the seasonings are super basic. The rice isn't fully cooked and the "vegetable soup" is hot water with cabbage and a slice of carrot, no seasoning. Okay if you want food court food, but if you're craving good Mongolian BBQ then do yourself a favor and drive down the street to Great Wall. read more

One of my favorites by far, hands down! I'm a total noodles girl...More like obsessed with noodles. I just know my noodles alright. This place is super generous with their portions. Do your thing, pick out whatever veggies and meat you want, tell them you want extra garlic or spice.. No problem... And they'll double the scoop! They'll even hook it up with noodles too. Make sure you tip and it's an automatic non verbal hook up.. All about the eye contact and they got you! I freakin love this place and it's part of my weekly diet. Mmm mmm mmm. read more

Had been coming to this place for years due to prices and food quality. Now, after renovation, quality of food has gone down and prices have increased. I realize it's a business and needs to make money, but when ur food quality and service goes down, and prices increase, it's not a good trade. Condoments such as sesame seeds, sauce and salt used to be provided, not no more. $10 for same size bowl as before, $0.81 for rice and $2.50 for drink. read more

Great food, compared to anything else in the mall food court. It's tasty, fresh, I love how you can add whatever veggies, herbs, meat, etc you want, and that it's cooked in right in front of you. If you don't mind eating leftovers this is affordable, because you can eat twice out of it and be full. They give you more noodles for free if you want. Food speaks for itself. This place always has the longest line at the mall. read more

The cashier is helpful but once I saw the cook sneeze against the wall I should of asked for money back. He didnt change his gloves or wash his hands afterwards..I could not eat this food and had to throw most of it away. What I could eat I ended up throwing it up. I chose to eat here bc I'm pregnant and I can choose to eat vegetables. However after this experience, I will not be returning. For 12 bucks I could go somewhere else and eat healthier read more

If your Latino you don't need to put tip into the tip jar they will hook u up anyways with noodles lol came here a few times always see that from all the cooks. Other then that it still good. read more

It's closed down for remodeling as of April 14 2015. They are planning on reopening in June 2015 (exact date not know)

We always come here when visiting brea mall. Just pile on the food. There seems to be an unwritten code here. When they're cooking, give them the look...the wink...or just plain flash your cash and they'll ask if you want "more noodles". I know it's a simple gesture but it makes a world of difference and you feel special. You feel like you're in a secret society of Gengis Khan 4 Life. But don't forget...tip. Don't ruin this secret society for other willing members. read more

BEST mongolian noodle place EVER. ive tried other places in other malls and none compare to this genghis khan in brea. love love love!! if you tip them a dollar, like keep the dollar on your tray while they cook your stuff, theyll give you double noodles!! but be sure to tip them after. theyre really nice :) big portions. i can make it into 2-3 meals! YUM. read more

They barely give any noodles. Then its a dollar more for extra. Taste good, thats it.

Ordered just a combo for my wife and 18mo, cuz we kinda full still. Everything was fine, took 4 forks and 2 spoon, when the cook get the food back to my tray, he touched the forks with his bare hands and started counting, "1, 2, 3, 4, too many too much" he said, then I replied, "Yeah, well" thinking its not his business how many I wanna take. Then I left him, took the tray to our table, then proceeded back to the cook area, in front of his face I took as many forks I could grab with my hand, then I left. Got the forks on the table, ended with 19 forks, then I came back to the cashier and asked for a cup of water, proceeded again to the cook area, where the cook's eyes kept aiming at me, then I took some more forks and he yelled, "hey hey !", and I put the forks on the next food court's booth, not within his reach while smiling at him. This happened on 10/03/14 at around 7pm. To Khan, you know who your cook is, hint: small guy with dark skin. read more

I used to love this place before, but now it's terrible. I found hairs in my noodle "AGAIN". Such a nasty place.

I'll have to try to understand why this mall fast food restaurant is only 3.5 stars. May be it's the long line? The food options as far as meat selection and toppings are good. I love this food read more

The owner of this place is incredibly rude to her employees and the customers. My family will not be eating here again. There's no excuse to be outright rude to everyone around you. Perhaps she should find another business that doesn't involve interacting with people. read more

You can never go wrong with Gengis Khan. Pick your ingredients, stuff it in the plate as best as you can, and hope the guy behind you doesnt stare at you thinking you are a fatass. Well, thats the thoughts running through my mind at least =) mmmm...I'm craving it as we speak. I know where I am going for dinner. read more

No other place in food court that 2 people with a large drink is under $10! They give you extra noodles, and all the stuff you like... I usually get beef, as it cooks fastest... cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, broccoli, onions, green onions, baby corn, chestnuts, and a few more things... For me this is the best thing in the food court... read more

I love there beef! It's probably one of the best Asian dishes I've ever had. Very tasty food

i didnt like this one. i prefer the one at main place. compared to main place its $1 more and the selection is less then main, they put WAY to much noodles that it takes away the flavor, especially if you ask for spicy.. i got it spicy and i didnt take a thing. i was just disappointed. i remember it being better but i think their quality has decreased. main place is better, more tasty, more selection, and cheaper. read more

This is the best spot to eat in the mall. The food is filling for the price. I buy this and feed myself and feed three other people along the way. read more

This is a good place for cheap food with big portions. The portions are big enough where one meal is sufficient for two. I love stacking the ingredients to see just how much I can fit in my bowl. read more

gengis khan is fantastic. It's a lil pricey (comes out to like 10.25 for noodles and a snapple) but its so worth it, its been my for sure stop at the mall for a while but im vegan now and the noodles are egg. so sad :( but definitely check it out if youre at brea! +leave the guys cooking a tip. its hot back there they have families to feed probs making minimum wage or less. its nice to do and theyll give you extra noodles ;) read more

One of the better Mongolian mall places. They taste better than most other mall Mongolian. Only drawback here is you can't push your meat down as you pack your bowl read more

9/10 times I never really crave Mongolian bbq. I find it pretty greasy.. But when I do crave it, I'm heading to Gengis Khan. I haven't had enough mongolian bbq to know which spot is the best or has best taste. I just know that this place fills me up, and for about $10 its a solid meal. Lines are usually quick, but depending on when you go, it can get pretty busy. read more

To start the line to order is too long, the taste of the food is so simple and to make it worst it felt that some type of dirt or sand on the mixed in my food. For $14 I was expecting something much better. P.S. I got food poisoning, Never again. read more
