I missed a Mongolian BBQ joint since moving to Oxnard, and was quite pleased to see that Mong Q opened in the Collection. I stopped by a couple of times to get the lay of the land, kinda sorta, and tried it a couple of times. I loved the choices and everything looked fresh. During my most recent visit, I had a chance to speak with Junior and Angel. These guys really helped me make some better, more enjoyable decisions and my wife and I truly enjoyed our meals. It was clear to me that these guys wanted us to be satisfied and did everything they could to make it so. They truly seemed to care about the product and it made me feel that much better about my decision to eat there. I am going back there again, because of these two people. Pro tip: You decide on your sauces at the outset. I'm glad they offer minced garlic. When you mince garlic and store it like that, garlic slowly loses its flavor so to get that garlic punch that we crave, don't be afraid to ask for more. Much more! (I get five scoops!) Pro tip #2: Careful on that spicy sauce! Use too much and it will be overpowering. Pro tip #3: Like a great pizza with lots of topping options, too much is just too much. Be selective in your meat and veggie choices. The tendency is to pile it on, and I, for one, love doing that, but it can be too much of a good thing. A little bit less makes for a tastier outcome. I am slowly training myself to be more selective (it's not working...). Pro tip #4: If you're thinking about lunch, get there when they open. The options look fresh and inviting. You'll miss the rush. Going back today! read more

Finally a place that doesn't skimp on portions or flavor. I would say that I eat quite a bit so to get a consistently hefty plate with all the toppings you want that can fit in a bowl because you're serving it yourself! The beef and pork are soaking in that flavor, fresh veggies, you can make your own sauce with extra on the side, and the heated plate gives it a nice almost char flavor without the smoke. Pair that with the seating at the Annex or grabbing a table with Bottle & Pint and that's the best of both worlds. The price may seem like a lot but the regular bowl if you stack it high could easily be 2 meals, I usually opt for the noodles and stacking on veggies you know don't tend to wilt when they're cooked to maximize volume, but I'm glad they reopened after their quick hiatus! read more

The portions are great and if you're prepared to back a bowl of food it's great. The owners are kind and very nice. I give it 5 stars due to speed and accessibility read more

Passed this place many times and was curious to try. You pay for your bowl size and drink first. Our total was like $40 for one regular one large and 2 drinks. They scoop your sauce - you have a choice of: lemon juice, oyster juice, bbq juice, chili oil and garlic. Then you get to stack on however much fits in the bowl. Everything was clean and appealing. You have to let the cook know if you want noodles or rice before they automatically add noodles to your veggies. It smelled and looked good but the flavor was not it.. I don't know how this place was so popular. My plate tasted like salt water? There was no sweet or savory teriyaki type sauce. The red chili bottle on the side was the only thing that had flavor but it was spicy. I wouldn't come back here.. read more

Mong Q - Large bowl for $17.95, sauces are in the clear cup, and my Fuze iced tea is in the white cup on the grey tray. - Mongolian Near Me - Oxnard, California

My husband and I came here as I was craving to have some noodles. The way it works is that you pick your size of plate, veggies, meat and they cook it. I thought it was really good. The small has plenty of food. My husband has the bigger size and thought it was too big. Will consider returning again read more

Mong Q is a great new addition to the annex at the collection. I'm happy to see that they are plenty busy and that this is a cool new spot to come for lunch or dinner when you want something quick but filling. At Mong Q you start out with a cup of sauces that you pick which are poured for you by the cashier. Then you load up your own meats and veggies. It's nice not having to worry about the noodles, as they'll load the noodles for you themselves at the end. Appreciate this as it leaves less of a mess. However, if you are on who likes more / extra noodles, then you'll have to pay for that upfront since you can load your own noodles to your bowl. I have no issues with that as the portion size is plenty. The cashier Chris was super nice and helpful for my first time. Kudos to the nice staff that work here and make Mongolian bbq approachable. The food overall was pretty good. For the price you get a hefty portion and the flavors were good. I loved all of the vegetable options they had and that everything looked fresh and the counters were clean. At the end of the row they have sauces so you can make your own flavors at the end. I put a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil and it was very tasty. This is definitely a spot worth trying next time you are at the annex. read more

Service was great. The guy working was helpful and nice. The ingredients were all fresh and there was a lot of options. I loved the noodles they were thick and bouncy. I just feel like it's priced a little high but still worth it read more

This place is so good!! The food is all you can pile on. You pick your sauce and ingredients. They'll walk you through this if you don't know how. I will recommend getting extra meat if you like that. I recommend this place big time read more

First time EVER having Mongolian BBQ . This spot is at the Annex food hall at The Collection in Oxnard . I chose the large bowl and packed as much goodies as I could. The pork was a little tough but the beef was cooked well. I added tofu and a ton of veggies . I think I could have done a better job at packing more in my bowl though lol! We paid and took our bowl over to the grill. The gentleman working the grill wasn't chatty at all as the cashier was but I understand he is cooking. No worries. Our bowls were cooked and we sat at a booth in The Annex which was popping on a Friday. Tons of people out enjoying the different spots there . Loved the vibes! Huge portion and I ate it all. I think next time, I would not get the lemon sauce . I didn't love the flavor. Overall, I really did enjoy my plate and had zero leftovers. I think the customer service is good for what it is :) read more

Didnt realize this was here in place of the waffle stick place. Definitely don't miss it when mongolian BBQ is around. Uhhhhh. quick, easy mong bbq. Regular or large bowl options. You fill your own bowl with what you want and then slide over to the cook where he take your bowl and start the sizzling. They add the noddles for you. As far as I can tell, only one type of noodle. We was great. Love this!!! Best spot in the Annex at the collection. read more

This is a great place to get Mongolian BBQ. You don't really see much restaurants that have this style of cooking. I usually see them in malls. It brings me back to my childhood where I would go with my dad to the mall and we would share half with each other. So this experience was pretty nostalgic. They had a lot of choices of meat, veggies, and sauces. You first pick your sauces. You can choose the amount of spice that is put in. The next part is the meat and there's a whole row of veggies after. We definitely overflowed it to get more bang for our buck. The noodles are thrown in on the side when they cook it. We got an extra side of noodles and we split the container into two for my bf and I and we were full with some left to spare! Overall, I really enjoyed the food here and it's a super convenient location from where I live at. I'll definitely be back again :) read more

This is the spot to hit! It was my first time trying this place so I was a little unsure of how everything worked even after the kind worker explained it. After watching others I realized all the different combos one can try. This is a great place for fresh veggies and good carbs! One of the best noddles I had in a while! read more

We are so happy to have Mongolian bbq in Oxnard. The one closest to us use to be at the TO mall but now we can just drive 10 mins to the collection. It was a bit salty for my taste. I think they put too much sauce. I think they can improve this. I think they're generous with their portions like noodles and allowing us to self serve the meat and veggies I do wish there were tomatoes. Service was fast. Crowd wasn't too long. Overall 4 stars! read more

Recently came in on Monday about 15 minutes after they opened and was surprised to see the lunch rush starting already! Portion sizes were solid and they know it seeing that it's cooked and served right into a togo container. I had visited one other time in the evening and while there was no line, I did feel the food was much saltier. Luckily for lunch, it was seasoned just right. Seating and vibe was typical of The Annex and I was able to find a seat, but I can imagine how this might be more difficult after 12pm. read more

Mong Q - Regular Sized Bowl with selected ingredients - Mongolian Near Me - Oxnard, California

I don't know why this place has bad reviews. The veggies were all super fresh. It's the best Mongolian because they let you stuff your bowl and it included noodles separately so you don't have to stuff those in!!! The only one thing that would make this place better is having sesame seeds to put on top. But their spicy hot sauce is 10/10. Staff was super nice including the cook! read more

We frequent this spot. You get a good amount of food for a decent price. The staff is always chill and friendly. However, as I was eating my meal this past week, I started crunching on something really hard! Like break a tooth hard. It was a piece of glass!!!! I'm not sure how it got in there but obviously Thai is very dangerous. Glad I actually chew my food slowly otherwise this could've ended up bad. read more

Mong Q - A piece of glass in my meal - Mongolian Near Me - Oxnard, California

This is our first time eating at this place. They're inside The Annex in The Collection Oxnard. We paid for the Large bowl; the cashier asked me if I want spicy or mild. I chose mild since spicy and my stomach do not get along. Normally when we go to a Mongolian restaurant, we piled up the bowl with all the ingredients and then we top it off with noodles. Here at Mong Q, we just needed to pile it with everything but the noodles. The noddles is the same amount whether you buy a small bowl or a big bowl which I think is wrong.If I wanted more noodles, I could pay $3 extra. What???!!! The way they cook is they keep flipping the food around this big grill pan. Unfortunately for me, the food in front of mine had a spicy sauce so my food got spicy too. I ended up having peppers in my food. It was an interesting experience but for me it is good for 1x visit only. read more

Very awesome to have a Mongolian BBQ option in the 805. As with all Mongolian style restaurants, you personalized your dish with the meats, the veggies, and the sauces. You give it to the cook and he'll do his magic while adding the noodles with it. For me, I grabbed as much beef as I can get in my large bowl, added an honest amount of veggies, and had them make a BBQ sauce with loads of garlic. Once cooked, I added some sesame oil for more flavor. How was it? Super delicious! Tasted the way I exactly wanted. My wife went all veggies with the lemon sauce with garlic, topped off with soy sauce. How was it for her? It was okay, sounded like she needed more flavor. Think she tried to go too healthy with her dish. It's okay, she wants to come back and try way to create her veggie dish. Service is great and staff will help you if you have any questions. And for the cooks, they do a great job creating your concoction. Make sure to tip them! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Clean place. Good food. They get you in and out quickly. I would recommend this place for a really good lunch or dinner

First things first, hit up the register to pay for your chosen size of bowl. Cashier will assist with your sauce which can consist of: Bbq sauce Oyster sauce Lemon juice Chili spicy Mild And fresh garlic Stuff your bowl with protein: Pork Chicken Beef brisket Beef Veggies galore: There's a bunch of veggies to choose from to customize your bowl After you're set- carry your bowl and sauce on the tray that they give you to set up on the higher counter so the cook can grab it. They will add the noodles for you. They cook it fresh right in front of you and it's worth it! Cashiers (I've been twice) are both helpful and friendly. First cook was friendly and nice. 2nd cook could use some customer skills should there be questions, felt a bit ignored and even when I said thank you- he did not any acknowledgment. Since there's no dining in, this is a take out only place but as it's located inside the Annex, you can find dining indoor or outdoor. read more

I had to update my review. I recently visited again, it was on a day that their shipment arrived and it was very busy behind the scenes for them. The reason why I'm updating my review is because of unsanitary concerns. I am now completely grossed out by this location. As I waited for my turn to have my food to be cooked I noticed one of the employees who with the same gloves was touching the trash cans and moving them around to allow for the delivery guy to deliver their goods. Without changing his gloves he was serving noodles on to the bowls, serving the spices at the front register, and even assisted with cooking the food. Not once did he change his gloves. this is cross contamination. Especially when touching trash cans, that's unsanitary. I really liked this location, but will not be returning. read more

Was so looking forward to this place. Food was MEH. Sauce to oily. Large with noodles I mean NOODLES. Everything else is lost. Pork over cooked. Ok I get that you want to mix the sauce for your patrons due to cost and waste. Then you should really think waste. Perhaps rethinking the 16ounce plastic throw away cup you throw away. That is EARTH WASTE. read more

I was super excited to try this new place and even made a double trip to deposit cash, because they do only cashless payments. Cashier was great and very customer friendly, as for the cook, he was very rude, spilled ingredients and serviced customers who were behind us in line after grabbing our bowl, he placed it back on our tray and picked up the next customers. We did not get the option to add any sauces or oils like he did with the customer he allowed to cut. I'd definitely just make this a one time experience. read more

I love Mongolian BBQ and was excited to try Mong Q in the annex. Upon arrival, the sauce bar was very messy, but I figured maybe it was due to the dinner rush. The young man greeted me promptly which was a plus. Nothing too exciting putting together your sauce, however, I loved seeing all the vegetables to choose from. I chose the beef-which was a little tough for my liking. Overall, the meal was tasty and very saucy, so much that the sauce spilled out of the bag. read more

This place is in a food court which we didn't realize until we got there. I had a craving for Mongolian barbecue so we went. The server was very nice and helped my 87-year-old aunt choose her items that she was going to put into her noodles. She was very patient. I wanna thank her for that. The food was very tasty and unique. You could put different types of soy sauce on it some spicy some not. Not a very expensive dinner. But as I said, the place is in a food court, so it's loud with people. read more

I love the concept. You fill your own bowl with as much meat and vegetables as you can put in the bowl. There are no restrictions on how much meat you add to the bowl. Then you hand your filled bowl to the cook, who adds the sauces and cooks the meat and vegetables. Then he adds the noodles. The food was really delicious, and enough for two meals. Very generous portions and I will definitely be going back! read more

Unfortunately, my first experience was not great. I wish there were more descriptions for the sauces. I don't know if that would have made a huge difference though as the whole meal had a burnt taste. I think the grill should have been cleaned off. There was burnt pieces in our food and again the taste and color was like that of a grill that needed to be cleaned. I ended up throwing most of it away. I don't think I'll be back. read more

I was surprised to find so many positive ratings for this spot. I love Mongolian BBQ "MB" but this place was not my favorite. The service was okay, the cashier was friendly, the cook didnt speak to me at all, no interaction and not the kind of experience I have had at other MB places. The flavors were not there for me, the food was bland, sodas were flat. I have had better MB. This spot is located inside the Oxnard Collection which is cool. It's convenient and a great spot to shop and eat. I plan to visit once more before making a final decision but based on my first experience, I am not a fan. read more

It would help if they had actual hours... 1:30pm on a Saturday during a holiday weekend and they're closed....
