    Date of visit: 1/4/2025 We visited the GK Mongolian BBQ for dinner on the night before heading to Tahoe. The price was about $16.25, and is all you can eat. They have turkey, pork, beef and chicken as the protein options, and many vegetables and sauces. Overall the foods were good and the service was decent too!

    Hi-ya! The customer service here is pretty good. When we first entered the staff were friendly and welcoming--this also applies to the cooking staff. The place has a lot of al la carte options besides your usual Mongolian buffet--for example steamed buns, shrimp options, etc. The meats available foe the standard Mongolian bbq pricing are beef, chicken, turkey, and pork. The veggie selection and sauces are ok. I was surprised not to see sugar water as an option. I say sugar water, because this obviously sweetens the meat when cooking, but also has the extra water to help in the cooking process. I'm no chef, but I believe it helps. Anyway, the flavor was reasonable and everyone else seemed to get their fill. I think this place is ok. The place is clean, service good, and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall ok for our first time.

    Lots of parking. Lots of seating options. We were immediately greeted and asked if we've been there before or it's our first time. She proceeded to tell us how it works. After putting on plastic gloves and filling our bowls, we added the sauces and handed it off t for it to get cooked. We sat down and were served rice, soup and soda! Our food was absolutely delish!!!! Can't wait to go again!

    Great place for some Mongolian bbq. Not sure why this place has such a low rating. Every time I've been here, it's been very clean. I always go for lunch, so maybe that's why? Either way, the ingredients are very fresh. For lunch, you get a single bowl along with soup, rice and potsticker. Price is $14.25. If getting a fountain drink, that's an additional $3.15. Not bad, but not a bargain. The secret to a good Mongolian bbq is using a TON of sauces and oils. While they have a great selection of sauces/oils, their ingredient selection is a little on the smaller side for many of the Mongolian bbq places I've been. They do have all the basics and some extras that you don't always get like bok choy and fresh cilantro. And like I said, always fresh. The egg noodles are their own house-made noodles. The service has always been great. Very polite employees that are attentive to your needs. Great place to have a quick lunch!

    It's been a long time since my last visit, and being in the area, I decided to stop by for a quick bite. First off, parking is a breeze; there's ample space for bikes, cars, trucks, or even a boat if you're towing one. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the changed layout, but it was still straightforward to find my way around. I filled my bowl, chose my sauces, and passed it to the cook. As I waited, the server/cashier prepared a bowl of rice, soup, a potsticker, and a Sprite for me. By the time I collected my food and returned to my table, everything was ready. The price was quite reasonable: my lunch was $14.25, and with a soda, the total came to $21.94, including tax and a $3.66 tip, which is 20%. Not bad at all. The meal was just as wonderful as I recalled, with portions so ample that I happily took the remainder home for another time. The restaurant wasn't crowded, yet it's spacious enough to accommodate a large number of guests. The staff were remarkably cordial, greeting everyone with smiles and a friendly attitude, which was particularly welcome in the sweltering heat over 100 degrees, where patience can quickly wear thin. With that, if you're feeling hunger pangs and you're near, drop in and enjoy... it's well worth it.

    Yummy decision for dinner. You get soup, potstickers, rice and crispy wontons. Dinner is $16- $17. I love creating a tweaked version of my previous bowl to make it an even better creation every time. (The one rule is to stuff your bowl until it's OVERFLOWING with meat, veggies, pineapple, garlic and SAUCE) it will cook down to flavortown perfection. :)

    My 2nd bowl!

    Great service and value for dinner! The staff here was friendly and hard working. We enjoyed the all you can eat plus soup, and sides! Great & affordable dinner for two! The food was tasty and filling too. We will be back!

I grew up eating Mongolian bbq at malls and was so excited to see a stand alone restaurant! We came on a Sunday lunch and started moving along the food counter right away, starting with meat then noodle then veggies, then toppings, then sauce. We had lots of fun with our different strategies to fill our bowls as much as possible. The staff was pretty attentive and refilled any stations that were running low. I love how customized the noodle bowls are and was able to adjust my sauces to my taste. I appreciate that they have a few recipes posted for reference.

    At Mongolian BBQ you are the creator of your masterpiece. You get to decide on the protein,…read moreveggies, whether it not you want noodles. Then decide if you are in a sweet and/or savory mood by adding a combination of sauces that are offered. Last night, I grabbed a bowl, and actually, I grabbed two, because I think I have a pretty good method, lol. Since there weren't trays available, I put it under my main bowl until I got to the sauces. I know, you are supposed to start with meat... but I was thinking... what's the best way to stack this bowl with all these ingredients to get the maximum amount in it? I didn't want to start with the meats because they take up a lot of space being bulky and frozen. I actually decided to start with spinach, so that I could then flatten it down with veggies and noodles, then top it with the thin slices of frozen meat. Since it was not busy, it made it easy to start in the middle and go back to the meats at the beginning. You want to build your bowl as high a you can get it because after it is cooked, it reduces in size. *pro tip! Use your hand to smash your ingredients down as you fill your bowl! For sauces, this is where your extra bowl comes into play. I try to fill that bowl at least ¾ of the way with a combination of house sauce, chili oil, garlic chip sauce, ginger water, kung pao, some cooking wine, and water. Andrew, the grill master, offered to help with the sauces if I needed. *don't be afraid to use water! It doesn't water down your flavor, but helps with the streaming/cooking process! At the end, there was an option to add "Twist BBQ Oil" I had to ask Andrew about this and it adds a subtle smokey bbq flavor. It sounded great, so he added it for me. For all the sauces, I like to stir from the bottom then get my scoop. I gave him my creation. He emptied both my bowls into a circular grill and used very long chopsticks to continuously stir and flip the ingredients over a very high heat. While he cooked, Andrew was explaining how some sauces go better with some meats and what it does during the cooking process... I like that he was explaining that by adding this sauce, it's going to help tenderize, by adding this sauce, it is more savory, or this one is more sweet... very smart chef! *Do not forget to tip your chef!! When I sat down, Korina had brought me water, rice, egg drop soup, and some wonton chips with sweet & sour to dip them in. While I was waiting for my bowl to cool off, I noticed there were sides available to add onto your meals. They are buy one get one free (of the same app). I decided to go with potstickers and GK pan. So for both, I actually got double orders (yay, I get to take some home!). The potstickers have pork and were deep fried. They had a great crunch and came with a savory dipping sauce. The GK Pan was crispy and a little on the plain side for me. The egg flower soup was good and I didn't touch my rice (oops, lol). Now that my bowl had cooled off a little, I grabbed my fork (I didn't feel like chopsticks) and this creation, with the help of Andrew, was my favorite creation of all time! It was savory, with just a tiny hint of sweet. Everything was tender! Korina checked up on me a few times and I'm sure what she mostly heard from me was, "Mmmmmm!" So yummy! I'm sure I could've done without the extra appetizers, and been satisfied with my creation, rice, soup, and wonton chips (they put in a little hidden potsticker for you to try! ), but I had to give a couple of the apps a try! I like that they are open until midnight for night owls or people like me who get off work a little later. Service was on point, food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! They played up to date music which I loved! *don't forget to tip your amazing waitress!

For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.
