    Large bowl
    Joseph T.

    This place is a hidden gem at Serramonte Food court. Out of all the options, I think you get the best bang for your buck here. You pay between $15-$18 to customize your own noodle or rice bowl on the Mongolian grill. There are about 5 different meat options to choose from with many different vegetables. I would recommend stuffing the bowl as much as you can because everything in it gets put on the grill regardless. Because of this, the portion size is generous, capable of feeding two people or having leftovers for one person over the course of 2 days. Once you get your food, there is a sauce station to the side. I think this is VITAL as most of the sauce you select for your bowl will end up being at the bottom of your container. Since all of the options are based on your choices, the flavor will be based on what you pick. I recommend adding the long red peppers to add spice and flavor to the dish. I noticed the difference in taste between the first time and the second time I got a similar combination without it. The line moves pretty quick and the staff are pretty cool about how much you can add to your bowl. If you're getting food from the food court, this place shines bright and doesn't hurt your wallet for what you're getting. I'll choose this place every time hands down.

    LOVEEEE THIS PLACE! Always go to when at Serramonte Center. Huge portions for the price & service is quick & friendly.

    Good!!

    Reminds me of the Mongolian bbq in SoCal brea mall. This is pretty close but for some reason they don't offer tomatoes as a vegetable ... otherwise it was pretty comparable and pretty good!!

    You can add as much as you want and the employees even encouraged me to add more! Towards the end, you select which sauces you want to add and I basically got a scoop of every sauce. Despite that, I still felt like I couldn't taste much of the sauces once everything was cooked. There's also another small sauce bar with chili paste, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. They definitely helped with the flavor and I overall did enjoy the meat and all the toppings. Great to share with one other person too!

    Great fun! Add your own meats and veggies AS MUCH AS YOU CAN Pick from small or large size bowl. However much you think you'll eat, of course large is better value and share your food with someone. If you're light eaters then two people can eat one together They will add noodles and add lot of sauce and cook it for you. Placed in a to go box in the end Set your expectations for food court fast food, you know? Rated for the value and fun of building it yourself Be prepared to wait because you have to stay in line order. Perhaps 15 mins to be done

    BYOB - Build Your Own Bowl! @mongq_serramonte in located inside @serramontecenter where you can create your own Mongolian BBQ with fresh ingredients and meat options! Fun doesn't stop there as workers will help you mix the perfect sauce combo and cook it right in front of you! owner and workers are also very nice! The perfect place to eat after shopping around and walking up an appetite

    Solid Mongolian bbq spot. The place was clean, price was reasonable, and i liked that they added the noodles separately at the end (they let you pile the bowl up without noodles) which is nice. Quick service, I'd come back.

    Good service and good food with good price. Pack as much as you can and the sauces are pretty great too. Come with noodles! Always a plus.

    Food itself tastes alright. But I ended up throwing away 2/3 of the portion due to excessive amount of blackened charred participles that are unhealthy if consumed. The fryer/griller should do their due diligence to monitor how much charred particles have accumulated on the grill and clean it as often as necessary but they definitely did not do that in my case. I felt that time was wasted, food was wasted, money was wasted and more importantly, it's just unhealthy to be eating this amount of blackened stuff. I probably should've thrown everything away.

    $16.99 for large
    Cathrin P C.

    Okay it's not THAT good as some of the other reviewers are raving about but it's a good option for mall food court choices. To me, this tastes very close to Panda Express or teriyaki chow mein. You have 4 meat options and they're: beef brisket, beef chuck, pork belly, pork loin. They're all shaved very thin and slightly frozen. I would recommend getting the large bowl for $16.99 and the regular is pretty small. Considering that the meat is frozen in round rolls, they take up a lot of space when you try to fill up your bowl. You'll want to make sure you pile your bowl up strategically and definitely fill it up to the max -- trust me, once they throw it on the griddle, all the meat will flatten and seemingly disappear so unless you wanna eat mostly noodles, you'll take my advice. I also added just a little onions, cilantro and mushrooms for flavoring. They will add garlic and all the sauces you need. I can tell they used a lot of msg as seasoning because I was quite thirsty for the entire day afterwards. Service was pretty standard. Wait is fairly quick. Each bowl takes a couple of minutes max to cook. I had a lot of noodles leftover to take home. Give this a try if you're at the mall and need food but I wouldn't go there specifically for an awesome meal.

    I love Mongolian bbq and was ecstatic when I saw this gem at the mall! The food was top notch and so flavorful! The ingredients are super fresh and they are generous with their portions. I got a regular but it was enough to feed for two! All the sauces are good and so I get everything cuz I can't decide. With an extra spoonful of garlic and chili since I like my noods with an extra kick! It was delicious and I'll definitely be back!

    To be honest,I am a big fan of barbecue. This Mongolian grill is a place where my taste buds can explore the rich flavors of Mongolia. From fresh ingredients to expertly crafted sauces, ensuring every bite is packed with deliciousness. The service was excellent, too. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and can't wait to go back.

    The food here was fresh,clean,and absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and kind. Considering the price, both the food and service were excellent. I'll definitely visit again!!

    I was shocked to read about the long waitlist years ago and I never bother to put my name on it…read more Not only I have to wait for years but I also have to cook the noodles myself - thanks but no thanks - especially I spent way too much money on kickstarter for a series of failed projects/scams in the past. But my sister had enough faith in him that she put her name down in the waitlist a couple years ago. A few days before Valentine's day in 2026, my sister got the email asking her to confirm her order quantities and to pick up on Valentine's day. Apparently, my sister completely forgot her order. lol! This guy have more integrity than kickstarter projects and to keep his promise and to fulfill the orders!!! It's my first time having sweet water noodles. I have never visited Cheng Du in China (it's on my bucket list) so I cannot tell how authentic this really is. As a noodle dish, I really love it. I would buy the sauce itself and toss with any other noodles. (Business opportunity there!) The instruction to cook the noodles is super clear and it's a very simple and easy dish to make. If you can boil water in a pot, you can make the noodles based on the instruction with this noodles kit. The rice crispy gave an excellent crunch. (Now I can see why Paik Jong Won added the uncooked instant noodles crumbs from the package to a bowl of instant noodles). The noodles texture is lovely, it has a chewy (or the Taiwanese/Chinese known as "QQ") bite to it. The portion is quite generous too - it's one of those satisfying portions :) I don't think I want to wait for 2 years for this again. But when he opens the store or start selling the sauce, I will be there for sure!!

I personally like the wet coated wings and it is comparable to San Tungs but without the wait/crowd. I also recommend the Mapo Tofu. Rice was 2 dollars per person with unlimited refills. Service was good and the waitress seemed amicable and delighted to serve. Restaurant was mostly full on a weekend for dinner although I don't think there was a line. Probably my only complaint is that the food seems to have a good amount of sodium in it. So I highly recommend ordering rice to eat with the food to balance it out. As a matter of fact, the rice tastes incredible when you get the sauces of the dishes mixed into it. Also be prepared, because although the food isn't overly spicy, you will likely be eating a couple dishes that are spicy and will feel the kick stack up hence why they call it Spicy House! Finally, the price per person came out to be very reasonable for eating out these days. There is a small discount if you pay with cash. I would gladly come back to support this business because it offers tasty food at a very reasonable price.

SPEEDY SERVICE While daunting in appearance, the long line out in front moves surprisingly quickly - only 12 minutes for us to get seated! Friendly enthusiastic attentive staff. Given the queue, they really move you through here in a friendly sort of way, so it's not a place to sit and linger after consuming your meal. There's tons of dessert places just outside.. =) Inside you'll find airy high ceilings and a busy energetic vibe with music that is almost kinda loud! Tables are pretty close together to accommodate everyone. Understandable given the constant lines outside. We came here on a late afternoon midweek. We ordered the: CHASU RICE Appearing almost immediately after ordering, you get a good sized bowl of your basic bits of pork belly-infused Japanese rice - tender and most throughout. It could use a tiny pinch of salt to dial it in, but it worked well with the Aburasoba. Generous serving - enough for both of us. ORIGINAL ABURASOBA オリジナル油そば Aburasoba basically means "oil noodles". Not "oily" in a bad sense, but supple and smooth and superb! With this you get two pieces of 1/8" thick chashu, bamboo shoots, green onions, and nori (seaweed.) The star of the show here are the noodles - supple, al-dente with every bite and such an delightful texture. Served warm. Suggested for first timers, I split this with my light-eating wife. Between us, and the side of rice it was enough for a light lunch after a big breakfast we had earlier. I definitely look forward to coming back here at the first opportunity. Worth the wait.

No water, just pure concentrated flavor. The restaurant gets its name from simmering, one of the essential Chinese cooking techniques, and you can taste that philosophy across the whole menu. The Dry Pot lived up to the hype, but the real surprise was the skewers. Beef, lamb, and chicken, intensely flavorful and rich. I can't stop thinking about them. The potstickers were also way better than expected. Usually a throwaway order at most places, but here they were juicy and packed with flavor. The beef pancakes were fantastic. Golden and crispy on the outside, juicy flavor bomb on thes inside. Both crunchy and a little chewy (in the good way). Came back a few weeks later with friends and ordered the whole grilled fish, which I'd been eyeing since my first visit. It looked magnificent, but it didn't really pop the way the other dishes did. If you love fish it's worth trying, but the dry pot, skewers, beef pancakes, and dumplings are the stars here. We also got a few veggie dishes which were all great accompaniments...but nobody is here for the veggies. A few practical notes. They have a beer tap but it doesn't work, so if you're into beer, they've got a few options by the bottle. Parking is easy since it's in the Serramonte Center, and you can combine it with a trip to Jagalchi, Target, or whatever else you need. Both times I came there was plenty of seating. I'll be back soon, and next time I'm getting the dry pot with their handmade noodles.
