Egg Noodle and Beef

Stopped by HuHot after church service - it's been a while since my last visit! Had a great time; the service was good and everything hit the spot.

Good

Friendly service from the cooks. The food was delicious! Would go back if we were in the area again.

I went with friends and our kids for lunch right at opening and in my opinion lunch is better than dinner. It's less busy and a lot quicker. The service was also better, our waitress stayed on top of our refills and getting used plates out of the way. As mentioned previously HuHot is one of my favorite restaurants however I would stick to going when it's less busy.

Revisited for lunch but was disappointed with the proteins this time around. After my meal was fully cooked, I found the beef and pork to be very tough, dry, and chewy. Even went back again for the second time and found it to be the same. Too many of the sauces were soy based, which ends up being too salty for me. Pls add sambal or chili paste as a selection.

If you've eaten at Gengis Grill, this place is exactly like it but its buffet style food. Service is okay. It wasnt a busy day so the server was just trying to keep busy by coming over to my table and making sure everything was going good. They do offer appetizers and desserts. Which is a whole separate menu. And not including with all you can eat buffet.

For the Manager: Sir, it was a Friday when we dined at your restaurant and there were NO Shrimp on the protein bar. Did that mean we should receive a refund?

Finger nail

Finger nail in my food tonight. This is my 3rd time coming here, and the last 2 were good but now has me worried. I was half way through my meal and found an entire finger nail in my food. The manager came out and offered a discount which is crazy. We weren't causing a scene and didn't want to be disrespectful but told them that is absolutely disgusting and they agreed we can leave with out paying. Said that the nail wasn't one of their staff members but you guys still have the responsibility of going through the food tonight make sure there's no contaminants or foreign objects.

Huhot is a rare franchise that I wished people knew more about. Although San Antonio used to have two, the og remains as the 2nd one was quickly shut down. It seems they have decided to put all there eggs in the one location on Dezavala. They have updated in inside and feels more open. Throughout the years this place has had ups and downs with its quality. Watering down the sauce to not putting out some because it wasn't used as much. After the updates and closer of the 2nd location they have got their act together here as it reminds to be the only Huhot in Texas. The only thing is that it's really up to you to make a good dish. I guess I'm just that good at making my dish that I think this is a 5 star place I am only giving it a 4 because I can no longer take advantage of all you can eat which makes it a bit pricey now a days.

This experience was a lot of chill fun! I haven't been to a Mongolian grill in a little over a decade and forgotten how exactly these restaurants work, but our server was great and explained the process to our group and checked in on us often throughout our meal. The restaurant was pretty big and smelled delicious since the food is prepped in front of you and the grill is constantly full, and the Mongolian style murals on the wall were super dynamic and neat. Hu Hot is all you can eat and has a TON of protein, veggie, spice, and sauce options to choose from to make the dish or dishes that are best for you. I ended up stuffing a whole bunch of ingredients into my bowl (I'll list everything at the end of this review so you can get an idea of everything they have) and added about five scoops total of different sauces to my dish. The server recommend six to eight scoops, but I was a little skeptical and added one less because it just seemed like a lot. Five scoops was actually perfect for me, and the funny and unique names for all of the sauces had my group laughing. The line for this self-serve, buffet style process was pretty fast despite the amount of people there, and the cooks were super fast grilling up all of our meals. I noticed that a few customers had two bowls that they had cooked together, a really nice option if there are too many choices to choose from or you're just wanting something more substantial, but my group each ended up cooking a single bowl each and were stuffed full as the bowls are all pretty big. I will be honest, I'm not sure how bad cross contamination for those with allergies is since everything is prepared on the same round grill. They sprayed some solution on and quickly washed each cooking space off after each dish was prepped, but I am not sure what that solution was and felt I might mention this in case anyone with a food allergy reads this. I also ended up with a couple of ingredients that I did not add from neighboring cooking meals. This didn't really bother me, again, just adding this on the off chance this helps someone. I'd definitely love to go back to try another crazy combination. I'd give Hu Hot a 4.5, my fiancé gives it a 5 for nostalgia and experience, and the two people we dined with give it a 4 and 5. What was in my dish: Grilled Ingredients: Asian meatballs, Pad Thai noodles, Tofu, Cabbage, Broccoli, Water chestnuts, Cabbages, Crab, Mussels, Pineapple, Zucchini, Egg, Bean sprouts, Mushrooms Sauces: 2 scoops teriyaki, 2 scoops Thai peanut, 1 scoop Shoyu Black Pepper (Sauce of the Season) Toppings: Peanuts, Sesame seeds, Coconut

HuHot grill & mine being the only meal being prepared at 2:11pm, yes.. no crowd. Late Lunch is the best time!

Visited solo at 211pm with plenty of parking & lots of seating having no crowds. Pleasant atmosphere & decor. Afternoon All u can eat buffet is best value reasonably priced at $15.69. Delicious fresh vegetables, various noodles & protein selections with numerous combinations of sauces. enjoy watching the "grill master" work their magic providing hot delicious meals. Wished they had Coke products instead of Pepsi. Wished they'd serve brown rice for an alternative healthier option. Highly recommend & I'll be back.

I remember coming here years ago and really thought it was excellent. The sauce bar used to have recipes so you could make a certain recipe by adding labels of different sauces whether hot, spicy etc. today the name plaques are worn that you can't read the name of the sauce so you have to wing it. The rice was hard and crunchy, I can tell it's not old because I can see the huge rice cooker from where I sit. I let the waitress know and she told me she checked another cooker and it was the same.. crunchy. Maybe it was an off day for them. But despite this they are a good place especially for lunch.

Unfortunately, 4 out of my 6 family members ended up sick hours later after eating here & I was one of them. To be honest though, the place lacked cleanliness. I will not be back.

Grill it for you

This particular restaurant was one of the four runners of Mongolian grill cooking. They have the best selection of vegetables and meat. With all of the sauces that they have to offer, you could go hundreds of visits before getting the same exact combination. The servers are very diligent on making sure that you have all the things that you need and keeping your table clear of dirty dishes. The seating is very comfortable and open now since they remodeled it over a year ago. You can adjust tables to have four people to a table, and you have the ability toput together tables to have a big mob.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly.

More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting.

It was the in between time of late lunch 2:30-3pm so we thought we would miss the Sunday afternoon church rush. The parking lot and restaurant was full but didn't let it scare us. Only had to wait 5 mins. Don't let the full restaurant fool you. The wait staff checks in often and moves tables very fast. Pro tip- you can hang outside and check out the koi fish in the pond to kill some time Sat down and drinks came out fast ordered dim sum which came out in the cute steam baskets first. Shrimp Shumai and pork bao buns were so good. My kids asked for seconds We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken, spicy eggplant/tofu, shrimp& broccoli and the combination fried rice. Everything was perfectly seasoned with the exception of the sweet and sour chicken. It was very bland. Next time I want to order the orange peel chicken instead. Looked good and now we know! So much food we'll have leftovers for a few days. Score!

My daughter and I cannot recommend this restaurant. It was better 15 years ago…read more It is too westernize now; meaning the food is more cater/made for western taste. When you walk in up to the restaurant, the view of ponds with large koi fish was very welcoming, however as soon as you open the door/walk in...it's a chaos of sports on tv and western music that will burst your burst your tranquility from the front of the restaurant. The restaurant was busy since it was lunch. We were seated right away. However it took the waitress a few before knowledge our small table. The waitress was in a hurry and look like she already had a bad day. She asked quickly what we would like the drink and we said water and hot tea but ask what type of tea they have? She mumble something I could not understand. So my daughter ask for green tea. We started off with appetizer as usual. Shrimp toast, chicken wrap, Asian bbq ribs then a cup of hot & sour soup. Main dish were Moo Shu Pork and Mongolian beef. Soup came out first...it was lukewarm. Cup was hot but soup was lukewarm. It was vinegary and salty. This is the first time I had seen/tasted imitation crab meat in a hot and sour soup. I'd flag the waitress down to let her know the soup was cold and if she can bring me another or warm it up for me. She gave me an annoying look and took the soup back to the kitchen. The Asian bbq ribs come out then the shrimp toast a few minutes later. The shrimp toast looks appealing. The shrimp were whole shrimp on top of bread, fried bread. It was ok...no real taste and a bit greasy. There were too much honey and chewy/tough for the Asian ribs. My soup comes back hot to touch... which means it was microwave...but not an issues; what was is ...it was still lukewarm soup. I try to finish it but couldn't. Soup needs to be hot; especially hot & sour soup. The chicken lettuce wrap was delivered. It was again salty; no real taste, except for the salt. A lot of mushrooms over powering the this dish. Keep in mind we had a small table and dishes are pilling up. It took a few before anyone came to pickup the plates. Half way through our appetizer, the waitress dropped off Togo boxes with a bag right after the chicken wrap was dropped off.... Staying it's for later. So we went ahead and packup the appetizers into the Togo boxes to make room. The main dishes came out about 10 minutes later. My daughter was very surprised by her Mongolian beef. It looks more like pepper steak then Mongolian beef. Most Mongolian beef are cook with green onions, yellow onion, garlic, sesame seeds and large slices of beef...some with a little sauce other dry so this is a the first for us to see a Mongolian beef looks like that. It was again too salty. There was more bell pepper than beef. The beef was slice small. The moo shu pork come out already wrap?? Which confuse me. Most of the time the thin rice pancake is on the side and moo shu pork is a little sweet and savory that comes with plum sauce so you can spread as little or lot of plum sauce into the rice pancake then top it off with moo shu pork. Since it was all roll up...it was very messy trying to pull it open to put the plum sauce. The dish lack favors...it had a char like taste. Usually moo shu pork is very flavorful and fill with flavorful juice from the ingredients like cabbages, bamboo, onion, mushrooms and eggs. There was no favor except a char taste. I have eaten here before a long time ago and it's definitely not the same taste/food and experience. We pack the food home so we can get a second opinion from other family members and the results were the same. I would never recommend for anyone looking for Asian cuisine. But if you like America/Asian cuisine/atmosphere then this is a place for you.
