The Bottom Line 4 stars: Nice comfort food in unpretentious, friendly environment. Brings back memories! The food is tasty, prices are reasonable and the experience is unique. Highly recommended! Location 4 stars: On the SE corner of Vanowen and Corbin in Reseda, CA, in a strip mall. Free self-parking on the lot and the surrounding streets. Venue 3 stars: A little run down, but that kind of adds to the charm. Indoor tables and booths. No outdoor seating. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful staff but not very attentive! They are always short-handed, with one (very nice) lady taking care of the entire dining area and also acting as the greeter and the casher! Drinks 4 stars: Bottled beer, wine, soft drinks (Pepsi products on fountain with free refill and Coke products in cans), tea and coffee. Basic but sufficient. Food 4 stars: Typical Mongolian Barbecue setup which became popular in LA in the 80's... The tradition continues here. You get a bowl of protein and add your own veggies, noodles and sauces at the self-service station and hand your bowl to a cook who stir-fries it on large dome. You get a variety of meats to choose from (Beef, Chicken or Pork - I usually get half chicken-half pork). They have lunch specials, a la carte items and All You Can Eat. It used to be (before Covid) that you also took the meat from the self-service station and you pile up as much meat in any combination as you could fit one time in your bowl, but those days are long gone. You also get rice, bread (a.k.a. pocket biscuits - delicious!), fried wontons, fried (breaded) shrimp and egg rolls, depending on which item on the menu you select. They also have fried rice and a coupler of desserts to be ordered as separate items, but I have not tried them. One thing I have noticed is that their portions continue to get smaller and smaller... The amount of rice I got this last time around was ridiculously small... about the size of an ice cream scoop :D read more

King's Mongolian Bar-B-Q - AYCE option lunch price as of 4/14/26 - Mongolian Near Me - Reseda, California

A rare hole in the wall type of atmosphere with really good food. It's quick and the prices are good especially for the amount of food you get. I've been coming here off and on for 20 plus years. The staff is super nice and helpful. Free parking in front. Good lunch specials. Plenty of seating inside. Is it dated? Yes! Is it still really good? Yes! Can't go wrong here for your Mongolian BBQ fix... read more

King's Mongolian Bar-B-Q - # C Lunch Special. Noodles, veggies with beef. Small side of rice, 1 fried wonton and 1 egg roll. All under $18.00 It was very tasty! - Mongolian Near Me - Reseda, California

Ok so my bf and I decided to eat here since we were craving noodles but not Chinese food or Italian. We can upon this place by mere coincidence but I'm glad we did. First there's plenty of parking we went on a Sunday afternoon that already is a polis for me . It was hot inside but the owner kicked in the ac. Please keep in mind there is only one person working here I believe she is the owner a sweet older woman so PLEASE BE PATIENT because she is there alone. She took the time to explain to us how things work and the sauces etc. I liked it I got a 14$ plate that was more than I needed and I took the rest home. Everything was good I'll be going back soon. read more

We've come here several times and love it! It's not a fancy upscale restaurant, but they've got some yummy Mongolian bbq for a very reasonable price. They do have a menu to order other dishes à la carte as well. There are lots of tables and they even have a small private party room to reserve if you're having a large gathering. The staff is very friendly. They have tv's that after play sport games. When you get there you order your protein. They'll give you the bowl with your protein of choice. Then you go to the bar where you can pick your veggies, load your noodles and choose your sauces. There is a breakdown of which sauces to choose from depending on your heat level. Then you give the bowl to the cook. The food is comparable to the other Mongolian bbq's at the mall. I'd recommend it if you're craving Mongolian in the area on a budget. If you're good at building you could get a whole lot of food just from one bowl. I did see a couple share one bowl and man were they able to pile that sucker high! read more

I've loved Mongolian BBQ for over 20 years. I've been coming to King's Mongolian for many years and the food is amazing! Staff is great. If you don't know how to prepare your own they will do it for you. I LOVE doing it myself. They provide all that's needed to make a great dish. I always do takeout but this is a restaurant and if you eat in it's all you can eat! Really good. read more

The food was so delicious and fresh!! I got the AYCE and was able to down 4 bowls of combo meat (beef,pork,chicken) . I highly recommend this restaurant if you're extremely hungry!! The service was pretty fast on a Friday evening 07/03/26 holiday weekend!! Thank you KING'S MONGOLIAN BAR-B-Q!!!! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Interesting hole in the wall. I always pass by but never thought of stopping by. My fiancé and I decided to check it out after seeing the reviews. The food was okay and the service was just this enthusiastic cute lady. The space seemed clean but it could be better and it's really old and outdated so you can feel uncomfortable at times. The menu options were pretty good. They have two all you can eat options but you have to be pretty hungry to get more than one round. Each option brings an egg roll, biscuit, fried shrimp and more. Protein options include chicken, shrimp, beef and tofu. Overall the experience wasn't horrible but not sure if I'll be back. read more

Great hole in the wall with great prices! The food was delicious -- hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The only reason for 4 stars is that the menu listed several sides like fried shrimp, but they weren't available, and the selection was a bit limited. Also, since it can get pretty busy, a little extra help for the waitress would go a long way -- she was super sweet and did an amazing job handling everything! Overall, very friendly atmosphere and tasty food. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more

King's looks like the kind of place where the appetizer is mild concern. Soon as you walk in, it is giving low-budget thriller. The rugs are sticky. The room has that "we survived several administrations" energy. Not dirty enough to make you leave. Just mysterious enough to make you text somebody your location. Very David Fincher. Very if the egg roll starts giving clues, mind your business. The food is not here to be cute. It is here to fill you up and send you home humbled. The noodles came in heavy. The beef and chicken did their job. Solid. Saucy. Filling in that real way where halfway through you realize this plate is actually trying to raise you. Not the most mind-blowing meal of your life, but definitely the kind of food that shows up to work. If you want a lot of food for your money, this place is not playing with you. Big portions. Strong value. No tiny forkfuls pretending to be a dining experience. The service though. Amazing. That is the plot twist. Warm. Attentive. Genuinely kind. The staff had more polish than the room, and honestly, they are the reason I would come back. They make the whole experience feel more inviting than the décor has any business allowing. So yes, the interior feels like it was decorated by suspense. But the food is solid, the portions are serious, and the service is good enough to make you forgive the fact that the carpet feels like it knows too much. it's giving... Se7en but with great customer service. read more

Been coming here for over 40 years. Price has changed a bit since then but food and service are still great. I started coming here in the eary 80's because I was going to college out here. I now live in the South Bay and make an hour drive to come eat hear occasionally. Worth the drive. read more

Food was good, just what I was craving, Mongolian bowl of meat, veggies and noodles cooked on the big circle frying pan thing. Just like the ones at the mall, same quality too, lol. Ambiance was pure SFV, a young Daniel LaRusso could have walked in any minute. Service was genuine and special. They put loads of salt or msg, for real, I almost passed out driving home! Slept for 10 hours straight as soon as I got home. read more

Always love coming here with family! Service is quick and the sauce and veggie selection is great. Tasty noodles, I would recommend doing four spoons of sauce so the noodles get coated thoroughly. read more

King's is a no-frills, build-your-own Mongolian spot with great value! My parents have been here a couple of times, and I had been craving MBBQ, so we came in for lunch. Located in a strip mall, there isn't a ton of parking, but there are some spots dedicated specifically for King's customers. We were the only people in at noon on a Sunday, but we did see a couple of to-go orders, and a group of 6 sat down as we were finishing our meal. They have multiple meal options including BBQ only ($11.95), and every combination of sides (rice, wonton, egg roll, pocket biscuits, fried shrimp, soup). They have similar deals for dinner, and have a weekday happy hour (3-5p) where you can get AYCE BBQ for only $20! I went with option A, which was Mongolia BBQ plus a fried wonton and rice. For your BBQ you can choose beef, pork, chicken, or combination; I went with combo of course, and the portion of meat was good for lunch! They provide gloves so you can compress your bowl and load it up with veggies, noodles, and a variety of sauces. They have a guide of how many scoops of each sauce you need to make it mild, medium, and spicy; and a huge container of minced garlic-love it! The cooks work fast, and the service is friendly and attentive. While it might be slightly outdated in the decor, it's a great meal at a reasonable price. Definitely stop by and support this family owned business! Instagram: @waitingtoeat read more

The joint was dingy. Food looked days old and stale Decor needs a serious update. The female staff member was very friendly. We miss Mogo's in Sherman Oaks. read more

Bottom of the list of mongolian restaurants I have been to. While they opened on time (11:30 am), the cook arrived late and had to heat up and prep the grill while we waited. Not recommended for a lunch. They load the meat for you on the lunch, and it isn't much at all. And my food felt undercooked. Noodles were chewy. read more

Amazing Food! Wow this is so good. I went with my friends and we loved everything! I got order C and the egg roll was very good. The lady working here is very nice and open for a chat! Overall Experience is great! Would come back. read more

Ive been going here ever since I was a little toddler with my family and I just revisited for my 18th birthday and the food is still amazing!

Every single time I go here it's very consistent with service and the food is amazing!

I went to Kings Mongolian barbecue. The food was delicious. I was served by the beautiful Fiona. She is absolutely amazing. Even if you don't want to eat anything at the restaurant, just going there to see her and say hello will be very worth your while. The service and food were excellent. I highly recommend this place and I do go there periodically read more

Great service. Fiona is a sweetheart and takes the extra time to help perfect your meal. Highly recommend. Wonderful food and service. Recommend. read more

Love this place. We got the all you can eat (option 1) and it came with rice, egg roll, buns, fried wonton, and egg drop soup. Lots of veggie and sauce options to choose from too. Great flavors, huge portions, and really nice service. Give this place a try! read more

This is our local MBBQ, we haven't been back in a number of years but would have been my dads birthday just passed and my mom and I decided to honor him by coming here in his memory. Parking was always an issue in this small lot but there are three spaces reserved, you just need someone to jump out and move the cone to park. The place is still as it always has been, a little dark, minimally decorated but even with a full house you can still hear each other talk. Something important to me and my family at least. Service is a little slow right at opening, the owner was the only one on the floor and there were a lot of take out orders coming in so we had to wait a bit to put our choices in. Once helped arrived in the afternoon though I'm sure it's much faster. The food is just as I remembered it, they still have the veg bar set up to take but with the additions of plastic gloves to wear to keep everything sanitary. Your meat is listed to your server who will bring the bowl to you, vegetarians have no fear there is a Tofu option. You just need to tell the cook when you bring your filled bowl up to the window that you have tofu and it comes from the back. Also of note, the tofu is cooked apart from meat dishes, meats are cooked two bowls at a time while tofu is the only one on the stove. Veg options are smaller than some other places but it's the most popular items I feel so I don't think anything is lacking. Word to the wise? Always do medium spice, and put the noodles on AFTER the oils. Noodles are added last on the stove and you may miss out on flavor being cooked into your veg and meats if you let the noodles soak them first. Garlic is also added now , minced with juice!, so don't forget a ladle or two! The soup needed some salt to be fair, watery egg drop is not my favorite but the egg roll and shrimp were perfectly done. Pocket biscuits were served right from the oven and were hot! But so good and worth a little but. To the fingers to get the perfect one. I will always recommend this restaurant to anyone who asks so do come by! And don't forget to add the sweet sauce! read more

I initially felt bad writing this review because I can tell this place is failing. I came here a few years ago and it was okay-- but what I had encountered was something so disappointing. I don't mind having small portions, but I nearly paid 20 dollars for this tiny soup, one wonton that had nothing in it, and the smallest bowl of stir fry. None of the veggies at the bar were filled, and to be honest, it looked past due. This place should not be serving people, it doesn't look clean, and the prices are ridiculous for its poor service and food. I urge to owner to renovate or close. I have never had such a terrible experience with a restaurant. I can tell the owner is stressed. read more

Food is good but I miss being able to pick your own meat. The part I don't like at all is their service is bad! The lady is sweet but she does everything herself you have to wait a long time for anything like water, ordering and if you got all you can eat you have to wait a long time to get your next portion! Also all you can eat your only allowed 1 pocket bread which makes no sense at all!!!! There's a great Mongolian bbq in Simi but you can grab your own meats and they have shrimp too! So many more options it's yummy and no waiting! Will start just going there. Sad thing is we've been coming to Kings for over 30 Years! Bye Kings bbq read more

We used to come here alot years ago. I drove out from Los Angeles, to surprise a friend who lives in the valley for her birthday. She had never been. I raved about it. She thought this would be her new spot. Unfortunately, all 4 of us hated it. It's definately not as good as it used to be. Even the sauces didnt help it. Lacked flavor, meat was VERY tough. I'm now wondering where the meat was from that such thin pieces could be so tough. It's lost quality. Sadly, I wont be back. read more

I've seen this place all over Yelp for a while now and after reading a few of the positive reviews from my fellow Yelp Elites, I was ready to give it a go! Driving by, this place doesn't look like much from the outside. They do have a parking lot though which was nice! Walking into the business, it looks like that place hasn't changed since the 80s. There was one family dining there at the time and I could tell my husband wasn't sure about this place just at first glance, but I knew my Elites wouldn't steer me wrong! There was one waitress who was very friendly and attentive. When we sat down, we noticed that the bar with all the food looked a little messy. I asked the waitress if she could wipe it down for us, which she did. We ordered the combos that came with soup, fried shrimp, an egg roll, a wonton and some thin sesame bread. It was a lot of food for about $15! Before we went up to make our bowls, they put out some fresh meat, veggies and noodles for us. The veggies all looked really fresh and good! Veg options included baby corn, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, green onion, jalapeño, white onion, bean sprouts, broccoli and pineapple. Meat options were pork, chicken and beef. Add noodles, garlic and your own sauce combo and you are ready to get cookin! The grill was cleaned before our bowls went on which is always a big plus so you don't get any black char in your food. Two chefs cooked our bowls at once. You can top it with chili flakes, sesame seeds, garlic powder etc. after they are done. It was delicious! They have all you can eat options but oh boy, the bowls can be a lot of food if you are a pro stacker like myself (tip: smash the frozen meat to the bottom or side of the bowl to make room for more veggies!) I really appreciated how they also encouraged people to wear gloves while they made their bowls. The appetizers were OK. I would pass on the soup next time. I used to go to MOGOs all the time in Sherman Oaks. Since they've closed, I haven't been able to find anything like it so I'm happy to have found King's! read more

You see the yellow sign outside and you can tell this place has been around for awhile. There's a good reason. You get a great meal for not a lot of money. If you love going down a line to create the perfect meal at places like a sandwich shop or the myriad of single serving pizza places like Blaze, this place is for you. The only problem is there really should be more labels for the sauces. Somewhere in the array of sauce pots is soy sauce, garlic oil, chili oil, and maybe some other tangy liquids. I appreciate the supply of gloves to safely compile your ingredients. I suggest pressing them down somewhere down the line to help you pack more into your bowl. The place itself is a little lost in time. I'm not sure if it's ever received any face lifts. It doesn't really matter that I've never seen capacity nearing anywhere close to 50 percent here. Breathing room is always nice as long as the establishment has enough business. Perhaps they make a good amount of sales from delivery apps. read more

The combo comes with pockets. Just when you thought you had enough carbs, piling noodles on top of noodles in your already full bowl of meat and veggies, you realize oh man you neeed to stuff those noodles into their delicious home made sesame bread pockets. A noodle sandwich of sorts. In all seriousness, this is the best Mongolian in town. Authentic as authentic gets. They stopped allowing people to put their own freeze dried meats in the bowl, cause us fiends were overloading the meat, but you can still press it down enough to absolutely load that thing up with meat and veggies. Don't be shy on the sauce. It's tough to beat these flavors. Beware no one is gonna tell you what to do, you are on your own read more

Discovered this place by doing the old-fashioned drive by while hungry! Decided to come inside because they have an A food rating. The A rating is well deserved. They keep the meats ice cold in the back and bring out generous portions when you make your selection. Choose your own veggie station is well stocked and they provide gloves to keep things very clean and safe. The sauce station needs to be re-labelled. I had no idea what was what, so I just put some random spoonfuls on. Tasted great, but I have no idea what it was. Was not too spicy or too sweet. Traditional, salty, mongolian goodness. read more

Disappointing. Used to be better, no selecting your own meats anymore, instead frozen bowl of mixed meat brought to your table. Sides and veggies not well stocked. Tasted okay but place is chronically understaffed so consequently a long wait at the BBQ. Prices increased exponentially so you're paying more. read more

My family has been coming here for 30+ years and it's always as good as the first time I remember If you come here and don't like the flavor, I'd argue you just need to make it again and try some different flavor combinations Service was excellent as always, very attentive and great customer service 10/10 every time!!! read more
