Not spicy at all and very flavorful. There were two of us and we couldn't eat all the soup or all the vegetables in the shrimp. We'll definitely order from May Palace again and try more of their dishes .

A 10+ year family tradition!…read more Every time we come to Durango, Mongolian Grill is one of those places that HAS to be on our list. I've been coming here for more than 10 years, and now it's become a family tradition that we've continued with my wife and our five kids. I was honestly surprised to see so many negative reviews about the service because that has been the complete opposite of our experience. We've consistently received some of the best service we've experienced at a Chinese restaurant like this. This most recent visit, we were greeted by Yawn, who actually came out from the kitchen area to say hi to us and brought coloring pages and crayons for our five kids. That might seem like a small thing, but when you're walking into a restaurant with five kids, those little things make a HUGE difference. And this wasn't even the first time she went above and beyond. The last time we were here, she was working on a box of Rocky Mountain chocolate and fudge and actually shared some chocolate from her personal box with us and our kids. That kind of service has been consistent from everyone we've encountered here over the years, which is a big reason we keep coming back. And that's separate from the food! We've tried quite a bit of their menu over the years, including seafood, chicken, beef, starters, and soups. On this most recent visit, my wife and I got the lunch special with chicken and garlic sauce. It came with the entrée, fried rice, hot and sour soup, and a spring roll, making it a really solid lunch option. For the kids, we ordered two orange chicken dinner plates to share. After serving up the first plate, we realized the second was almost too much food. Each plate also came with white rice, which the kids shared. Our kids absolutely love the orange chicken here. They've tried some of the other dishes as well and have enjoyed those too. One thing I really appreciate is that they can customize the spice level, which makes it much easier when you're ordering for a family with different spice tolerances. Another cool option here is the all-you-can-eat Mongolian grill. They have a full bar of toppings, noodles, proteins, and other ingredients that you choose from before they grill everything right in front of you on a traditional Mongolian grill. We've actually never tried this option ourselves, but we always see people enjoying it, and it seems to be a pretty popular choice. One thing I will say about this restaurant is that every time we're here, it's busy. It doesn't seem to matter what season we visit or what time of year it is. We consistently see a steady crowd, which has always been another sign to us that this place has a loyal following in Durango. For us, though, Mongolian Grill has become much more than just a restaurant. It's part of our Durango trips and a place our family has been coming back to for years. 10+ years later, it's still a family favorite, and as long as they keep their doors open, we'll keep coming back.

This is my favorite Chinese restraunt in Colorado. This is because when I first came here they had a buffet. Their food is one of the best foods ever! I had 2 dollars on me and I was with my grandpa I gave them a 2 dollar tip, which was my first tip I ever have to a restraunt. Their cake was so moist and so sweat. The best cake I've ever had. read more

I specifically let the ownership know that I was on a low-carb diet so I didn't want any noodles or rice. The woman that I was speaking to before told me to order off of their paper menu and she told me what numbers to consider, which were #5 and down through #22. I've only eaten here once before and took her suggestion literally. I guess it's the brother, or Manager as he stated on the phone that took my order. I asked for a number 9 without rice, and it's listed under rice dishes. When I got home with my food, it was filled with noodles. I called to note the consistency and he turned it around on me stating that this is a noodle dish that is also served with rice and I only asked for no rice. I tried to point out to him that nowhere under the ingredients mentioned does it list any noodles on this dish. He never understood my reasoning and said that there were pictures that were there of the dishes that I should have used when making my order. I didn't see that there were any noodles on this that I needed to omit from my order. For all I knew these were rice noodles or an option. I am also not used to seeing both noodles and rice on the same dish and he stated that these were tapioca noodles, not rice, so that's why they came. I could see his point, but he could not see mine. He accused me of harassing him, which I felt was rather strong because I simply called in a calm voice, trying to explain my logic, but he did not care at all. He said this was my fault entirely, which I don't agree with but you can see the picture of the menu for yourself. At the end of the day, if a customer has a concern or a complaint, they simply want to be heard. There was no apology for any misunderstanding. There was no customer service tone in anyway, I even had to ask him to stop interrupting me for just a minute so I could complete a sentence. If anything, I simply wanted to have them acknowledge what happened so it can help other customers in the future. As far as the food, there was no depth of flavor. I ordered it medium which was recommended since I cannot handle "Thai" hot. I give this dish a 2.5/5 on just the flavor as it was missing something. I give my experience a 1 for the overall rating. It's not saucy but I didn't know what to expect. However, given the size of the serving, it could have used more mushrooms, cilantro, and peanuts to balance out the dish. It came loaded with bamboo shoots, noodles and there was ample onion and pork, but the pork was tough. The female there was very nice but this guy obviously ruined it for me.
