I was visiting Costco near by. I thought I will check this restaurant out since I have never had Magnolian food before. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a nice smiley face. She guided me to the process of getting my food ready for takeout. While I was filling up my bowl, the manager or owner came to me to further assist and loaded my dish all the way till almost was falling down. Then he showed me how to add the sauce then gave it to the cook who was cooking it in front of me. It was a great experience and the food was absolutely delicious . The ambiance was quite and cozy, I will definitely be back. read more

GK Mongolian BBQ - Many sauce to choose from - Mongolian Near Me - Tracy, California

Came here for lunch with my Nana. Food: 1/5 Lunch included egg flower soup, steamed white rice, and pork potsticker. The noodles were soggy, meats & veggies were fresh. The sauces were lacking in flavor. Even though I put 2-3 spoonfuls of each sauce, the end result was flavorless. There was no chili oil. Most of their sauces were sweet based and watery in flavor. The Sriracha sauce on the table seemed watered down. It didn't have the same consistency of Sriracha. Even after adding Sriracha, the noodles, meats and veggies were still flavorless. Thumbs down! Way down... Service: 1/5 The service was a big fine mess! The line was long and there was only 1 cook. He is literally the slowest cook i've ever had the displeasure of witnessing in all of my Mongolian BBQ experiences. He took 4-5 minutes to cook each bowl. It felt like I was watching a nightmare in slow motion...From preparing our bowls to getting it cooked, it took 20 minutes. They put out appetizers on our table immediately. By the time we got to eat at our table, the soup , rice and potstickers were cold. I asked for water and tea. My water & tea arrived 10 min after I ordered. All of the workers seemed very disoriented. I do commend the only asian worker in the restaurant. He always made sure the meats, vegetables and sauces were well stocked and fresh. He was the only one that seemed to be doing his job proficiently... I would not go back to GK Mongolian. I was very disappointed in the food and service. Ambiance: 2/5 Restaurant was spacious. There were a lot of dirty tables. read more

Came for lunch yesterday and the staff was great! Cleaned the grill off when I got there and got busy!! Angel and I think Nayeli/ureli (ik I just got that wrong) were super nice for my friends first time. Tyty will be back the food hits everytime and the soup!!!! read more

Really wanted to like this place, place was noticeably dirty outside and in. Staff was rude. The bowl is really small you can fill it up but it's not all you can eat.. You can put whatever (all you can eat) in the bowl but not go back for second's Foods decent but with the staff's cocky attitude (one woman in particular) combined with the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't worth $16.00 for a bowl for lunch. read more

Love this place, the food is always good & the staff is so nice. I usually order on door dash because of convenience but today my dasher delivered the wrong order. I came to the restaurant and they helped me fix it right away. I appreciate the quick service & love that they're so on top of it. Much appreciated I'll be back soon read more

Fresh food and fast service. The food was delicious, too. I love that I can over fill the bowl and get a good portion for only $14.25 plus it's cool that it comes with a potsticker and egg soup. It was a little warm inside, so it would have been nice if there was an AC since I enjoy my food spicy. read more

I agree that the Food was great I had to remind them about the soup and the very unpleasant service Thanks anyway read more

I came here and was really wanting to like it but the moment I stepped in, I was utterly horrified. Extremely dirty. There was a couple who walked in after me, and server setup their table, and dropped one of their spoons on the floor and instead of replacing it, he put it on the table! The meat did not look good at all nor did the tin containers they put their sauces in. I immediately did a B line to the door. Please explain how this place is even up to code. read more

Great Service!! Great Portions!! Wonderful Side Dishes!! Love the soup and rice!! Easy to Locate and parking Free. read more

It is nice to have a Mongolian spot locally! We have been here a few times now and I really enjoyed the freshness of the food. I really like how they give you complimentary sides (rice, soup, potstickers, and wontons). I would suggest coming for the all you can eat dinner. I feel like $16 is totally worth it so come with an empty stomach. The service is very friendly. I know I can always count on some delicious food when we come here. We will continue returning. read more

Mongolian beef was tender and fresh noodles Good selections of sauce and vegetables. fast service and attentive staff read more

I think this can be great food spot if they start making it more like stir-fry and they add sauce directly on the sizzler clay pan. That way it will be correct amount and preparation I personally mixes up on quantity and it doesn't taste great with current setup And yes price is on higher end read more

Every now and then I get a real big craving for Mongolian bbq but I usually get it at the mall...I suggest you do too. I decided to try out this chain restaurant because it's usually busy, but I think that just because it's all you can eat after 3 I believe. I got a bowl to go with just about a little bit of everything (beef, tofu, shrimp, etc.) and potstickers to go and man was I disappointed. The potstickers were super dry and bland, filling literally tasted like nothing and the outside was as hard as a fortune cookie and it wasn't because I got it to go. I tried it in my car while it was still hot. The Mongolian bbq itself was whatever, nothing special. I just thought it would be better than the one at the mall since it's a chain restaurant but the one in the malls are way better, a lot more flavor. All in all I give this establishment a 2/5. It was not busy at all so I thought I lucked out but I guess not. At least there was no wait, would've been even more of a bummer. read more

A must try if you're in or stopping by Tracy!!! Every time I come to town I 9/10 times stop here for lunch and trust me, you'll be set for the rest of the day! They've definitely gotten a lot more stricter with their rules - no takeout on seconds, and no extra bowls to smash down the food to make it all fit. Prices have definitely gone up as well, dinner I know is way more expensive. I came around 2:30PM on Sunday and for 1 bowl (took some to go) and 1 fountain drink, I paid almost $20!! I'd give it 3 stars because I find that ridiculously expensive for a small town but I will say, it's worth it since you get to do the all you can eat (just make sure to come with an empty stomach and ready to EAT). Overall a tasty spot, 10/10 recommend if you're in the area! read more

GK Mongolian BBQ - Mix of different meats, lots of veggies, spoon of each sauce/oil offered, and a good amount of noodles! - Mongolian Near Me - Tracy, California

Let me start this off by saying please understand what you're getting when you come to this place. It's not caviar and wagyu beef. It's a stuff your bowl with a whole bunch of good stuff and watch them cook it in front of you. As many times as you want. It's a Buffet. When I go to buffet's I don't expect stellar quality but this place is actually pretty good and the value can't be beat. $16.25 per person for dinner and you can load up as many times as you want with whatever you want. For those who have never been, they have the following meat options: chicken, beef, turkey, pork. Then for veggies that have a pretty good assortment. Baby corn, onions, bell peppers, tofu, jalapeños, peanuts, spinach, bean sprouts, lettuce, broccoli, etc. then you get to add the cooking oils that you want! Only thing I would say is watch out if you have certain allergens because they cook all the food on the same grill so please be weary. Our waiter was nice and got us a refill on water without having to ask for it. It was actually kinda of quiet which was nice but it was a weekday so I'm assuming it gets loud on the weekends. Other than that it's been around for awhile now and I remember the first day it opened in Tracy! Good to know it's still around and kickin. read more

We won't be back. 3 of us got really sick with food poisoning. I contacted corporate, nothing back. My mom ended up in the hospital. The place is very dirty. The food I am assuming was not cooked all the way. I knew I should have eaten it when the veggies still tasted hard from being raw. I also had chicken in it... so I assuming the chicken wasn't cooked through. read more

My first time here and have been back within a month. Very delicious and fresh food! I like that you make your own customized creation and there are so many options to choose from. The soup they serve with your meal is absolutely delicious too. I did not eat the egg rolls but my man did and he likes them. They have the option to purchase beer with your meal which was nice they had a decent selection. The place was clean and the service was excellent. One thing I found interesting was that you could tip the cook at the station where you watch him to cooking your food. Then when you pay for your meal there is another place to tip the server. I think having just one tip jar and having the cook and server split the tip would be a great option. Obviously, this is just my opinion but for a almost fast food type of restaurant having two separate topping options seems a bit much. read more

GK Mongolian BBQ - My bowl with jalapeños and lots of garlic was delicious! - Mongolian Near Me - Tracy, California

I've been to a few of their locations but was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed their polite and friendly staff, who are very attentive, offering great service, and the restaurant was very clean. They offer a good selection of proteins, vegetables, and a variety of sauces. After I selected the meats and vegetables and seasoned, I took it to the grill to cook; however, the young man at the grill failed to clean the grill top and as a result my bowl of BBQ had burned pieces of char from the previous customers selections that had been prepared. In retrospect, I should have asked or said something, but I didn't, which is why I gave them a 3-star rating. I definitely will be back and give it another try. read more

We passed by this place and decided to give it a try. We were a little confused going in but you have to scan the menu. We decided to get 3 lunch specials. It was $14 for each. You get a brown and there are uncooked ingredients. You can get as much as fits on the plate. Some people's food went up very high. You get to pick the sauces you want. Then they cook it right in front of you. Everyone who worked there was super nice and helpful. There were a few tables. We went to pay for our lunch special. We got a little side of rice, pot stickers, a soda and our lunch. They also add a generous amount of packets of hot sauce and soy sauce. This fed 2 adults,a teenager, and a child. I still had lunch left overs for the next day. Fresh food that taste good at a great price. You can't beat it will definitely be returning. read more

FOOD ALWAYS HITS. The service can be a hit or miss but I love this place. Ambiance is chill, when slow but can very quickly get chaotic and messy around the food bar when business is booming, it gets a little hot in there and around the grill it gets a lotta hot...tip your grill chef, especially in the summer. Happy to see they recently have gotten little up grades here and there like new tables and chairs that were wobbly back in high school. The egg soup is so yummy and the sweet and sour chips are my favorite ahhhhg read more

Usually this place is pretty good.. I'm Vegan but when I have a craving for Mongolian I have to get it - ignoring the fact meat gets cooked on the same grill. Today I got some take out & ended up getting some fried wontons as a side. I started eating my bowl/box when I got into the car - the bag filled with wontons, soy sauce & utensils was folded shut right after I got my chop sticks... as I got home I eventually finished my noodles & was ready to eat my wontons. As I take out the bag of wontons I noticed there was another bag - it was one potsticker.. as I reach in I notice a spider in the potsticker bag!!!! Honestly it doesn't take very long for fried wontons to be made.... the sides should be made fresh; when you walk in they need to ask you if you would like any sides rather than have them pre-made stuffed into a box. I never thought about how long it sits there. I figure it gets made everyday but I could be wrong if there's insects coming out of the bags!!! When my husband called and told them what happened all they said was "oh I'm sorry, when you come in next time we will give you an extra bag of wontons"..... LOL THAT'S IT? Well that goes to say that I probably shouldn't be eating here lol. I love the noodles and veggies but unfortunately this place lost a customer! read more

The food is amazing, the workers tell you if you may need more of something. I would definitely recommend coming here

Food is always fresh and full of flavor. I recommend the teriyaki sauce over everything with a little garlic powder.

This restaurant used to be one of my favorite real food reasonably priced place to go to once a week minimum. Management has changed the last year. Now the quality has sunken and badly managed. The manager popped in and left. The cook over cooks the food even if I told him to stop cooking. He left the meat in chunks waiting for it to cook. By the time the clumps of meat cooks through, they become dry, hard, chewy, and the vegetables becomes soggy and overcooked. He did not properly spread the meat because he was busy cooking another order on the same cooking surface. No manager was there keeping up the quality. This went on the last three times I was there. The manager hired less people instead, causing the dining area to be messy with dirty tables and floor because the poor waitress was too busy to do it all. It's too bad. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

We popped in for the all you can eat dinner option and found it well worth it. Maybe $16 for all the Mongolian BBQ you want. Pretty standard on what you'd expect. We tried the crab Rangoon's (appetizer) and thought those were stand out from other places. Got pretty busy for a weekday I thought for one cook. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years and we have always enjoyed it, but knew it wasn't the most clean establishment (chairs dirty with grime and bathroom was always disgusting). At any rate, we would periodically come here for the food as my husband is a diehard Mongolian BBQ lover and this is the only restaurant near us. Today (10/06/21), my husband and I visited GK. As we were eating a cockroach crawled across the floor near the meat section. My husband and I completely freaked out and immediately left. We won't be back until this place gets their stuff together. read more

We wanted to try something new and went to GK and we were pleasantly surprised. We had dinner which was all you can eat for $16 for adults. It included Mongolian BBQ, egg drop soup, a cup of steamed rice, fried wontons and we each got a pot sticker. Food was delicious. The staff are very friendly and attentive by always picking up dirty dishes, refilling soy sauce without asking them to, and refilling drinks regularly. They keep the place clean too! Many times I saw staff cleaning up spilled food at the food bar and they even offered required disposable gloves to wear so that food wasn't being contaminated. I actually love the idea of the gloves! We will definitely be back. read more

I was so surprised to see that my last review here was over 7 years ago. The food is consistent! I packed my bowl with veggies and a little bit of the Turkey and beef. It's cooked fresh in front of you as always. I loved that you need to wear gloves provided to serve up your bowls. So smart and why don't other buffet style places insist on this! I've always walked my hands after serving up at a buffet, but the gloves are extra nice. Everything was good, not where I would go often, but good for every once in awhile. read more

Used to be a good place. Today, it was a complete mess. Tables unbussed, the prep line was a complete disaster area with spilled food. Prep line also poorly stocked. Customers were left waiting in line to sit, to pay, and even to pick up. One guy stood around for at least 20 minutes, he asked where his food was and was told it hadn't been made because they were too busy to make it. Little if any respect for their patrons. They could have used an extra person at the very least, maybe two. The ones there were overworked and confused. As I paid my bill for 2, I was told, 2 lunches, 2 drinks and was given an amount. I reminded her there was only 1 drink and somehow the price for 2 lunches and 1 drink became more than the first amount she gave me. It will probably be some time before I return there. Maybe I'll wait until they get a new owner. read more

I am a regular and have been satisfied with service thus far. But this last time, a new waitress named Diana, made my experience WAY more amazing. She was incredibly friendly, warm, welcoming & accommodating. I highly recommend this place, especially due to more cheerful service that lifts the whole place up Thank you, Diana! read more
