Rancho Cordova used to have an excellent Mongolian BBQ spot more than a decade ago and I haven't seen any open up since so my ears perked up when I heard a new joint was opening up in Rancho. I could tell as soon as I walked through the door that I was going to have a fantastic experience. The restaurant was clean and the ingredients bar was well maintained. The staff was courteous and of course what mattered most was that the food was delicious. I almost forgot to mention that the prices were reasonable. A welcome addition to Rancho community. I look forward to returning and testing out different combinations.

Love Mongolian bbq! When you enter your pay for your meal first. I came at lunch which was $15.50 for a bowl. It includes a bowl of white rice and your choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. I've seen other places offer fried rice and wonton chips but they don't here. For Mongolian bbq you grab a bowl and fill it with your choice of noodles, meat, veggies and sauces in a buffet style line. Then you hand it off for them to cook for you. I was surprised how clean they kept the food area. It would be nice if they had sauce recommendations. Definitely takes time to figure out how you like your bowl made!

Tried M Grill Mongolian BBQ and really liked it. The place is super clean and bright, which is always nice. Service was friendly and easygoing. Food was good and hit the spot. Definitely a place I would come back to.

Oh hell yeah. Was pumped for a new AYCE restaurant, but Mongolian?? I'm a fan. Place was really clean, had just opened up a few days earlier (basted on our visit, which was mid Jan). Lots of protein to choose from: chicken, pork, beef, shrimp and I liked the noodles but they were really hard to separate and were really long. If they had just chopped the contents once or twice for smaller noodles it would have been easier to fill my bowl. Veggie choices weee similar to other places I've visited, broccoli, carrots, bamboo shoots, onions... The sauces are pretty standard but we did notice that there was no teriyaki! Like I said, this draft has been pending since idk when. Tipping is optional but recommended when the guy is grill it up. Overall the I thought it was great but those missing sauces were noticeable (they may have expanded by the time I posted this but if not, please add: ) Also missing from other places was fried rice & an egg roll. They did have white rice and soup but nothing t

My husband has been craving Mongolian food lately and came across M Grill Mongolian Grill, which just so happened to be only about 10 minutes from our house. Perfect timing! Because the other closest Mongolian spot that we like is all the way in Roseville which is a bit of a drive for us. According to our server, they opened about a month ago and are local and family-owned, which we love supporting! The restaurant is in a somewhat quiet plaza, but it's right next to Chipotle off of Zinfandel, so there's plenty of foot traffic and lots of parking, which is always a plus. Walking in, the space is extremely clean with plenty of seating. Check-in and the menu are immediately to the left when you enter, making the process very easy and straightforward. My husband and I were especially excited that it's AYCE for $18.50 for dinner and weekends. Such a steal! The price also includes an optional bowl of rice and soup (egg drop or hot & sour). We opted for rice and two egg drop soups, and wow... we were both very impressed. The egg drop soup was flavorful and comforting. We liked it better than other places that offer egg drop soups. Definitely a must to get when coming here! The ingredient bar had a great selection of proteins, veggies, and sauces to customize your bowl before it's cooked on the Mongolian grill. Everything looked fresh and well stocked. The servers were also very attentive, constantly checking in to make sure everyone had drink refills, rice, soup, and anything else they needed. The only thing I think would elevate this place even more is a sauce guide that I've seen at other Mongolian grill places. Something that shows how to combine sauces for different flavor profiles (sweet & sour, spicy, etc.). That would be super helpful, especially for first-timers. Overall, we're thrilled to finally have a local Mongolian grill spot close to home. We're already telling all of our friends and family to check it out, and we'll definitely be back!

A good lunch, except for the hotdogs...

A new family run Mongolian BBQ opened up right next to the chipotle on Zinfandel. I decided to try it for lunch, and it was very good, with just a couple of small glitches. The price is very reasonable, lunch is until 3 PM Monday through Friday, and then the rest of the time it's the dinner menu. Lunch is one serving, dinner, which is just a few dollars more, is an expanded menu, and is also all you can eat. One bowl at lunchtime was enough for me. With lunch, you also get a small bowl of rice, and a choice of either hot and sour or egg flower soup. The egg flower soup was very good. It's your typical Mongolian BBQ, where you go down the buffet line, selecting your meat, veggies, and then your sauce. The meats were good, and the veggies were very fresh. Unfortunately, the meats on the line were not labeled. I obviously knew which one was the beef, but I wasn't able to tell whether the others were chicken, turkey, or pork. They also had hot dogs on the meat line. I tried the hot dogs, but they didn't "do it" for me. To me, hot dogs just don't go with Mongolian BBQ. I'm glad I tried it, but I will skip them next time. When you get to the grill, the sauces are labeled, but there are no instructions. Other Mongolian, BBQ places, for example, they will have like a little recipe card, saying if you want this type of sauce, do a ladle of this, a ladle of that, etc. There's none of that here. Just the sauces that are labeled. Also, when he cooks your food on the grill, afterwards they put it onto a plate. I prefer my Mongolian BBQ in a bowl, because it's easier to eat. These are all small things that I did notice. Overall, the meal was very good. Quite a few restaurants have cycled through this space over the years, I really hope that this place makes it. Thank you for a good meal.

Tried out the new Mongolian bbq place Price is good. $15 weekday lunch (1 bowl) $18 dinner and weekends (all you can eat) Staff is very nice and friendly. Food: Overall for the price. It's good. But all in all it does miss the mark. Carbs include noodles. Protein: pork, beef, imitation crab, sausage and small shrimp. There's a variety of veggies as well. Sauces: garlic, ginger, hot oil, soy, Mongolian bbq. The shrimp was covered in ice so it's annoying to try and scoop a bunch only to get 1bshrimp and a spoonful of ice. The sauces are very liquid heavy so you want to get multiple scoops just to have flavor. And when the chef cooks your food, he uses water so that dilutes the flavor more. The sauces are salt heavy so you're missing anything that will balance out the salt. No sweet sauce, no thicker sauce, and the hot oil doesn't have enough spice to offset either. So that's the big con is lack of balance in flavor palette - for comparison. If you've been to the hibachi grill and buffet on sunrise, they use a house sauce while cooking so it adds flavor on top of the garlic oil.

Their price for an all-you-can-eat place is extremely reasonable. I really liked both of their complementary soups. The servers were very attentive to refilling water and also new customers that had just walked in. They were also really attentive to make sure that the buffet line was stocked. Be sure to say thank you to those that are running the grill. I left stuffed for a very, very reasonable price.

What a great addition to Rancho Cordova! Nice, clean and great service for a Mongolian BBQ. Everything looked fresh too. My Concoction came out great!

Great food, decent price and atmosphere. I'll be coming back! The staff was kind and they prepared our food quickly. Plus the soup was nice too that came with the dinner.

I have been looking for a new Mongolian bbq restaurant as all the other ones around the Sacramento area have gotten really expense and quality went down. This restaurant was refreshingly clean and had all the ingredients we like to put in our bowl. Instead of an eggroll and fried rice, this restaurant offered soup (egg drop or hot and sour) and rice. I was use to more sauce options when trying to come up with a mix for the bowl. My first bowl was a little bland but second was too salty. Overall it was a decent price for AYCE and I would come back if I'm in the area.

Plate with pork, lamb and tofu
Jason A.

First time visit. Pretty good. Very nice service. Food was great. You pay first, they assign you a table, then you load up your bowl and hand over to the person cooking. I got the pork and lamb, some tofu, diff veggies, variety of sauces. The staff was attentive, asked how my food was and refilled my soda. I went in when it wasn't too busy, but I imagine it gets packed during lunch and dinner. I will visit again.

Hot and sour soup appetizer
Bob C.

Great value in the Rancho Cordova area. Who would've thought that a Mongolian BBQ restaurant can be charming, delicious, and fairly priced? Unlike other AYCE restaurants, M Grill priced their lunch and dinner with consideration in today's economy. Meat selections of chicken, beef, lamb, and pork. We were surprised to see shrimp, imitation crab, and chicken sausage amongst the selections. The service is fast and efficient. The food is cooked quickly and efficiently. The ambiance is no-frill and utilitarian. They did not increase prices to pay for useless decors. Now that we've discovered this restaurant, we will be back frequently and telling everyone about it. Great job and keep up the excellent work!

Gamsahamnida! Back…read moreagain, and the food and service continue to be great! The chicken katsu is still one of the best I've had--light, crispy, and perfectly crunchy on the outside, with juicy, tender chicken inside. Every visit has been consistently delicious, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I also tried the spicy pork again. It's a bit different from the Korean spicy pork I'm used to. Instead of the pork being marinated so the flavor is deeply infused, it seems to be grilled first and then coated with the sauce. While it's not the traditional style I expected, it's still flavorful and worth trying if you're open to a different take on the dish. In addition the chicken gangjeong dish that requires it to be "deep fried chicken" needs additional time to get crunchy like you would expect. I think the sauce may have made the crunch disappear. The consistency in both the food and the service is what keeps bringing me back. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Other: -plenty of parking -bathroom inside -on hot days it's a little warm in the restuaruant *local family business*

She ordered the bulgogi kimbap, and said it was a good rendition. She also ordered the pot of spicy dotbokki (sp?), and enjoyed that as well. I ordered the chicken tonkotsu with curry. The curry was served on the side, but it wasn't necessary. I'm not the hugest fan of tonkotsu either, but it was well fried and juicy. The bite me chicken and my ream cheese roll was mostly flavorless, so need to order that. The cashier was very friendly and offered her tips on what to order, and they were helpful throughout our dining experience. Not my favorite cuisine, but my wife thought it was good, and if having to return, I'd happily enjoy the chicken tonkotsu.

Xiao long bao. At eight pieces, they were delicious. The filling was very nice and the dumplings were moist and tender. I also had the black and gold, molten lava buns, the molten lava being salted egg yolk. There were three to this order. The buns were absolutely amazing. They had a good flavor, and the yolk was creamy. It went along with the buns so well. I paid roughly $27, which for 11 items, was not bad. I just wish this place would let you do a little bit of one order, a little bit of another order, instead of having to make one large order of all the same items. That's the fun about dim sum, being able to try a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

The buffet has nice breakfast meats eggs, potatoes and other hot items served out of heated large skillets on a buffet. The cost is $18.95 plus tax and a little tip, you're looking at a little over $20.00 for breakfast, very nice if you have an expense account! Dinner will run you about $20 plus drinks and extras.
