    I remember how this place used to be THE date night location for couples when I went to college a few miles away years ago. I never took any dates here but I always heard good things. So when my family was looking for a place to eat that offered a Mongolian grill experience, of course this place came up as an option to finally try. First impressions when pulling into the parking lot, I really need to spend some money to work on the outside of the building. It is literally falling apart in many places. Walking inside, you get the impression that the whole aesthetic is worn out. Everything could use an update and fresh coat of paint. Service wise, it was fast and friendly. This place is mainly known for it's all you can eat Mongolian grill. The buffet offered lots of different options to make a variety of dishes to suit your tastes. I wouldn't say that any of the ingredients were high quality things were at least fresh and clean. Not sure if I'd call this place date night worthy but my family left full and happy, so it met our expectations for the occasion.

    Who knew wontons and salsa were so delicious? Hopping Saturday night at Khans, staff kept the food bins full, cooks kept lines moving, servers were great, female bartender not so much. Still one of our favorite places.

    It was just okay for me. As a first-timer, I found the buffet-style setup a bit confusing. When I got to the sauce section, I really wasn't sure what to do. Despite adding what felt like a lot of sauce, I was surprised by how bland my food tasted. What stood out most, though, was that the restaurant felt dirty. I understand that with a buffet-style setup, spills happen--but the overall unclean environment definitely took away from the experience and made it a 3-star visit for me. They share a parking lot with a few other restaurants and a hotel, but even though it looked full, I had no trouble finding a spot.

    Food quality is okay, a little bland even with the sources, service is average, but do check on your, ambiance is a typical diner

    Khan's is fine, as all-you-can-eat Asian food goes. It's Mongolian BBQ, which is basically where you choose from a variety of raw meats, veggies, and noodles, and you take it up to the grill where they cook it for you. The ingredients have always been fresh whenever I've gone, but the thing that keeps this from being really good for me is that no matter how much sauce from the sauce bar I put on, it never feels flavorful enough? They have just the one standard mongolian sauce up there, plus some additions like vinegars, oils, garlic, etc., but their sauce base is just not flavorful enough to me so it's basically impossible to get a really flavorful plate without it being completely soggy. That being said, I am a big fan of the mongolian chips and salsa that come free with your meal if you're doing the BYO bowl! The salsa is sweet in a way that I love and the chips are wonton chips. I think if they could offer some more sauce options or bring the price down, I could see it being more worth it, but you can do BYO bowls with comparable or slightly better sauce options at several Chinese buffets in the area for cheaper and with more added variety included in their AYCE.

    This place was recommended to myself and a few co-workers by a couple of the sheriff deputies at the jail we were working at in downtown Minneapolis. We went there doing the lunch hour and this place was busy. But it is a buffet style restaurant but you could also order a few items off the menu. Which is what we ended up doing. I ended up getting the spicy wings and plane wings. They also provided us with some wonton chips with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. Those were absolutely delicious. The young man who served us was awesome. He didn't hover but he was attentive enough to make sure that we had what we needed. The ambiance of the place is definitely lively and quite colorful.

    I usually like Mongolian BBQ but don't see myself going back to this place. It was about $25 per person for unlimited plates which I think was kind of pricey compared to other similar buffets. The places is definitely a bit rundown or outdated and the tables were sticky. Although there was a wide selection of protein and veggies, I found the sauce selection to be limited and confusing/mislabeled. Our waiter was very nice though and kept a good eye on drinks and getting our finished plates. Overall 1.5/5

    Walking into this place it's decor igas lots of red colors and art and gongs. I never been to mongolia so I can't tell you if the decor is correct. The place smells great due to the food getting cooked in the open near the giant gong. The food bar was surprisingly clean and well organized. There was anything from beef to shrimp.. they even had vegetables and diffrent types of noodles. Overall a good selection you can do an all you can eat for like 23$ but you can't take the left overs home or a bowl for 21$ it was not a big difference but you can take the leftover home. If you layer your bowl properly you can fit more than enough to feed a hungry tribe in it. The food cooks within 5 to 10 minutes depending on how much meat you get. Pro tip. Open the meat up so it layers easier.. fill bowl at least about 1/4 way with sauces to avoid it being too dry. Also use the thinner noodles because they hold the sauce better than the thick bigger ones. The food is nothing spectacular but I'm not a big fan of the frozen beef and products that are paler thin. If you find meats that are not rock hard and thawed out because they don't turn out as rubbery when cooked. The staff was all very nice and professional. They were willing to help where they can and made sure everything was as we wanted.. while there we did not feel rushed and our server made us feel at home. I forgot to take a photo so I had already eaten a good 1/4 before taking the photo. Thats an example of how much food fits in that tiny bowl.

    We tried Khan's Mongolian Barbeque in hopes it would match our favorite Genghis Kahn Mongolian BBQ back in Concord CA. It came close. This was more of a 3.5. First, the single bowl price of $22.95 is much higher than the $18.95 on this site's menu photo. The all you can eat was like $3-$4 more. Considering the size of the bowl you get to put your protein (freeze dried meats), there's not much room for your veggies and noodles. But in the end, it was a decent oval plate of food. You have your choice of beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu, lamb, imitation crab, tilapia, but there was no calamari. The veggie choices were plentiful and good. I especially liked the snow peas pods. You have three choices of noodles: lo mein, thin rice noodles, and pad Thai rice noodles. I have to say I was suspicious of the lo mein noodles; they were white. What Asian eats white lo mein noodles. They were not the yellow egg noodles I'm used to and taste. But when cooked, they weren't bad. The sauces from mild to extra hot were not bad plus the selection of optional sauces (extra garlic, curry,teriyaki, lobster sauce, black bean and peanut sauce) but they were all very watery. I put a lot of spice, garlic and teriyaki sauce on my bowl because you'll need it for taste. A glass of soda is $3 each but free refills. We got a plate of fried won ton and a dipping sauce of their signature Mongolian sauce (ok taste) along with a scoop of white rice. Would we go back? Maybe, if we have the big urge for Mongolian bbq. The single price for such a small bowl is my apprehension; it's $8 more than what we paid at Genghis Kahn in CA. Eating out is just so expensive here.

    The complimentary chips and sweet salsa. Their wings are good as well.

    Been coming to this spot since high school. It's always a fun experience and you will never leave hungry. You make your own stir fry so you pick the meat, seafood, and tofu. It is vegetarian friendly and they have all the veggies you could want. If your unsure about which sauces you want in your stir fry you may follow the guide or the friendly staff is more than happy to help you. The ambiance is nice and if you tip the chefs you bring your bowl to you can bang the gong. It's a fun place and the ingredients are quality.

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

However, it was worth the wait for us. There is a dark moody vibe and while my group went in for drinks, there are also options for food. The place itself is pretty loud - both with music and talking, so maybe not the best location for a first date. The drinks are expensive, but the experience was worthwhile for us. I enjoyed the meditteránea. I'll very likely be back! What a neat spot.

But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.
