There are not many Mongolian BBQ places anymore. Gengis Khan is worth the trip to the mall They have your standard selections of thin sliced meats and vegetables. You go through the line choosing what will go in your bowl. At the end of the line the staff adds your seasoning and you tell them how much spice. They also add the noodles. Then you watch as they expertly cook your food on the giant fry pan, walking around and moving the food with those big wooden sticks. As soon as it is done they place the giant portion of food into a to go box. Please put a couple of dollars on the tip jar :) Since this restaurant is in the mall I'm sure their rent and other expenses are high. So you know the food will be a little more expensive. It's 16.99 before tax for 1. The quality of the freshly cooked food is worth it and the portion is huge. You really could share with a few other people or take home for another meal. See you at the Brea Mall food court!
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.
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.
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)
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Been coming to this place for awhile now and i could say it always hits. the food be coming out hot and fresh. service is always amazing, make sure to tip them as they'll hook you up with more noodles.
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.

I love Mongolia BBQ. This place is ok. The portions are huge. I didn't want spice but got it anyway since the person infront of me had spice. The soup was gross and my soda was flat. read more

Listen: If you roll up into a mall food court expecting your taste buds and senses to be blown away, you're gonna have a bad time. If you expect some sort of going-that-extra-mile type service, you're gonna have a bad time. If you want something filling and food coma inducing, this is it. It's $11 for a bowl and it's up to you and your skills to get your stack up and get your money's worth. Sometimes I'm able to squeeze a second meal out of it, depending on how well I can get my bowl to stack. Luckily for me my girlfriend is especially good at this, so I usually just let her take care of it for me. The noodles here have a nice satisfying chew to them. The blend of sauces they use really give everything a nice flavor. I usually tell them to lay on the garlic and chili. Of all the things the Brea Mall food court has to offer, I have to say that this is the place I pretty much only eat at because of the portion. The ingredients are pretty much always fresh too because of how busy they are. I've never experienced bad service here. You literally just give them money, you get your ingredients, they cook your food, and you eat it. What more could you ask for? read more

I cannot remember the last time I ate at Gengis Khan. I used to eat this all the time early/late 2000. Lakewood and Cerritos mall was the spot for this after school. Anyway. I was out Christmas shopping at Brea mall, and was craving gengis khan noodles because I haven't had it in so long. The lines were already forming after it just opened. I'm not surprised because there's always a line for this place. I got my bowl, packed it with protein and veggies then the gentleman/cook at the end of the line topped it off with noodles and sauce of your choice. I always add garlic and medium spice to my noodle bowl. When it was my turn for my food to get cook, the cook tossed in more noodles. The food came out hot, and fresh. I couldn't wait to sit down and eat it. When I took the first bite, all my expectations went down the drain. The food had no flavor whatsoever. Perhaps I should've gotten extra spicy to turn up the flavor or maybe it was because the cook added too much water during the cooking. It watered down the flavor. I'll give it another shot next time and I'll try extra spicy. read more
I was in town and craving Gengis Khan so decided to stop by the Brea Mall. I haven't been back here since covid started so i was excited to eat the food again. They provide their guidelines on a sign right on the center of the floor once you step in. Tables are spaced out nicely and there is no more chairs for the bar stool sides. Now, on to the food! The ordering has changed a bit here as they now pack the bowl for you, no longer self serve. It makes sense, but kind of sucks because they don't really try to pack it all in for you. As soon as you get closer to the end, the portions of the items you choose become smaller and smaller. Near the end they usually have crushed chilli peppers and sesame seeds out to sprinkle on your food, but now those are boxed for you (ask for em at the register). Also, they're no longer using trays, so be ready to get handy. Overall food was still good, I enjoyed it. One last thing I noticed about the food court, not all restaraunts are open. Below are the following I saw open as of 6/13/2020. Sbarro, Pinks, Panda Express, Jamba juice, Cinnabon and Lollicup. read more

The host/cashier, Brian is a gem and a breath of fresh air at the Brea food court! The food is delicious and at a fair price, $15 for an all-you-can fill bowl. The staff is friendly and keep the line moving at a quick pace. Recommend for a quick meal while shopping. read more
It's weird, at random times I crave Mongolian bbq and it sucks that most of them are located only at malls... Typically when I frequent the food court at the mall, I usually see a line at this place. And rightly so. You pay 10 bucks for a mound of food. You get a bowl and can stack as much meat and or veggies as you want. Towards the end, the people standing by the grill will top it off with noodles. The portions are large enough to feed two people and if you get all protein (meat) it should be a really filling meal. They add sauce and garlic to your noodles to make the flavors pop out more. Protip, when putting meat into your bowl, try to decompress the meat so you can add more items. read more
Love it! Will drive 20 minutes to just get it from here. Since it's at the mall and I usually go during lunch or dinner food is always getting replenished and they stack it high, you pay for what you would like to order and then you move down the line and put stuff in your bowl and then the people working the stone will add the noodles and they will ask if you want anything extra as far as oils Chili's or garlic. Going with the spicy is always a win and it is hot as hell when you get the food tray back. Large drinks large portions not a huge price and you will have left overs. Like two extra servings of left overs. Not a bad thing because it always tastes great. Might have to go for lunch tomorrow too. It's one of the better places to eat at and I don't feel so heavy after eating it. read more

Best Mongolian BBQ restaurant I know around. There's usually a pretty long wait, up to 20-25 minutes when it's busy, but if you're starving after waiting for hours for your significant other to finish shopping at H&M, it's well worth the wait. They allow you to build your own bowl, filling it up with as much meat & veggies as it can hold. The bowls are kinda small, so a trick I use is to line the meats sideways and as flat as possible to to create a meat bowl within the real bowl, & same with the veggies so you get a bowl in bowl within another bowl. The bowlception with the large heap of noodles they give usually results in a gigantic meal which I can't finish even half. But the best part? It's only around $10. If Genghis's army was as large as the portions here, it's no surprise how he was able to conquer Asia. read more
This Mongolian BBQ has one of the longest line @ Brea Mall food court. Our Mongolian BBQ was cheap, tasty and filling. The workers were friendly, efficient and generous. 3.5 stars! Gengis Khan BBQ is kinda yummylicious!! read more

First off, I love noodles. This place has EXCELLENT noodles. I would suggest getting the combo. It comes with a drink, rice, and soup for only a buck or 2 more than just the noodle bowl. People like to use the napkin you get to push down the meat but I like to use the meat to build an inner wall around the bowl and then get all my veggies in. After I'm done with that, I get everything (the garlic, soy sauce?, and lemon juice) extra spicy and ask for extra noodles, obviously. I usually tip $1 when I get extra noodles and when I have cash with me. This definitely isn't a healthy choice for a meal but ohmygosh...I don't care hahah. I love this place. Keep in mind this is enough for me and my mom to finish and be full....we don't eat the rice. read more

This place has great quality meat and noodles and the price really isn't too bad for what you get. You just have to make sure the cooks add more noodles, some are hit or miss. I've had to ask for more noodles because they definitely didn't put enough sometimes and one tried to ignore me when I asked so I had to tell him twice. They have turkey, pork, chicken, and beef I usually get beef chicken and pork. The veggie selection is good, I get it with garlic and spicy. It's not even that spicy either but it's called "spicy" read more

Been eating here since I was like 8. Place tastes the exact same it's crazy. Super fresh. Best Mongolian Bbq around in my opinion. The coolest workers too. Inside the Brea Mall. Pretty much the only restaurant that's still here in the foodcourt after 15+ years read more

The set up is like every other one. The cashier is quick. The quality is okay. The bowls seem smaller than other locations? And topping options seem less than others. Options are: Meats: beef, chicken, pork, Turkey Veggies/fruit: green onions, onions, cabbage, minicorn, those crunchy white things(watercress??), carrots, green bellpeppers, bean sprouts, mushrooms, pineapple, tomatoes, broccoli and I am not sure what else You can get it mild, medium, hot, and with/without garlic and one other sauce. But the quality is good and the people who cook it are super friendly and make sure to cook everything thoroughly and well (: They take tip! Ask the lady for siracha because they did not have it at the end. Only sesame seeds and red chili flakes read more

Too salty. They add all these sauces when they cook the food and it was way too salty. Won't be eating here again read more
The name of this establishment describes the portion size you get here accurately Gengis Khan! This establishment allows you to pack as much meat as you humanly can in a bowl. The proteins they have are Beef, chicken, pork, and turkey. Once you've packed as much meat as possible in your bowl you can add numerous of other toppings including onions, mini corncobs, mushrooms, vegetables, and after that they plow a mound of delicious noodles. Once you have created your large sized portion off food you just wait until the cooks can throw your made order on a stone grill. They season your meal with either mild or hot sauce or your choice. Personally the hot wasn't that hot, but I also love hot spicy food. The flavor of the seasoning was quite delicious. You can also ask the cooks to add more noodles to your meal while they are cooking your compiled bowl creation. After it's cooked the cooks will put it in a styrofoam platter box ready to eat. Make sure to tip your cooks at the end! You can also add sesame seeds or chile flakes on top of your meal to finish off with some flavor. Honestly you could split your meal with one other person because I have never seen anyone finish their entire meal on their own. One bowl is only $9.99 which isn't too bad because it could easily feed two mouths! Definitely a good spot that I will return to! read more
