Love it, I come here few times a year although I dont live in NW. Fresh ingredients and amazing value for such delish dish(es). Honestly i dont like their sweet and sour soup, but otherwise I love every combination of the dishes i order as it does not disappoint. Just dont put too little/much sauce base and you will have a new favorite joint which isnt pricey but has fantastic service and food. I wish i could eat more than three dishes, im getting old lol! Dont get rice or soup, splurge on their AYCE! read more

Please support this local gem during this Covid-19 time!! They are supplying gloves to their customers who come in, as a precautionary. The owner is so wonderful and such a hard worker. The food is always amazing, and such a great price. Always an 11/10 experience when i cone here read more

I am a huge fan of Mongolian bbq, and was happy to find this place in my neighbourhood. The service has always been quick and friendly, and the selection of items you can add into your bowl is excellent. I love the mongo bongo sauce with chicken and skinny noodles and tons of veggies. I get it for take out often, and they have a wonderful punch card for lunch's if you order before 3pm. read more

I have been here many times and never had an issue. The ingredients are fresh, the service is wonderful and the price is just right. I wish they had a vegetarian soup of the day option but I'll just get an extra bowl of veggies to fill up with instead. I recommend this to anyone who likes Mongolian grill places and to some who have never tried it before. read more

Pretty great, overall the service us nice, soup and rice with your meal. Its like most Mongolian barbeque places, fill a bowl up and they cook it for you. I would give a 4/5 but the paid refills get me. If they were offering pop by the can it would make sense. But the pop is on a hose. At $1 per refill its a little overpriced. read more

Excellent restaurant to go when you want to customize your own menu and to stuff yourself with affordable pricing. You grab a bowl, stuff it with your favourite ingredients, pick you own sauce, pass it to the grill and wait at your table. 1 bowl is 8.95 or all you can eat for 11.95 at lunch time. Dinner is bit more pricey. It usually comes with a bowl of rice and soup. When they opened up, they used to have more varieties of soup such as sweet & sour, shredded chicken with corn & egg. But every time I go there now, they only seems to serve 1 kind of soup. Some sort of vegetable soup, not sure what but I know I don't like it. I wish they make different soup like they used to. I'm really picky when it comes with rice, but they serve okay to good rice, which I enjoy a lot. Overall, it's a great place to it at. It's clean, fast, tasty, affordable and fun to customize your own meal. As long as you don't screw up your sauce picking that is. I'd have 5 stars if there are more soup and suggestion for sauce combination by sauce bar. read more

Love this place! $9.95 for a full bowl, lots of options from veg to meat. Service was awesome! Will definitely be put in my regular rotation! read more

Food is ok. Nothing special, but not bad either. You serve yourself what you want to eat and the chef will fry it. The meat is frozen. Fish or sea food you have to pay extra for. Price is very good. 1-bowl-serve ~9 $, all you can eat ~12 $ (lunch) Included in those offers is a tiny bowl of soup and rice. If you don't ask for the rice, you won't get it! Till here, i would rate 4 stars! BUT!!!! The downside of this restaurant: It is a dirty place!!!! - The lamp covers over the tables are full of grease and heavy black dust - The walls and the ceiling are also fully coated with black dust! Especially over the food buffet. - The cook who is refilling the food buffet doesn't wear gloves. She removes fallen food by her bare hands and touches again the food. During our stay, she never cleaned the surroundings with a sponge. Just by her hands. Due this experience, we decided not to visit the bathrooms. read more

$9 for a large bowl is a great deal in the city. I came here a few weeks ago for a meet up with some friends. I am on a healthier eating kick, therefore, appreciated this option. Healthy choices and the bowl is so big that I struggled to finish.The place is small, however, myself and a party of 3 more were able to get a table. read more

The food is good and seems pretty fresh, however the restaurant is kind of small and customer service is lacking big time. In my opinion this place is good for take out. I will ho back again as i like the food. read more

Lunch Special is worth it , last for two meals and best things is you select all the ingredients. I went all meat and bit of noodle. The staff is really accommodating and friendly. The main menu doesn't have much to offer. read more

What a great deal for the amount of food you get! This is our favourite healthy meal spot in town. Ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the staff are awesome. You pick the amount you want yourself in the bowl, all you can eat-style. A great spot i would definitely recommend. read more

Love this place. Service is friendly. Food is good. Nice location, quiet but busy. read more

Not pleased. My boyfriend and I decided to try a something other than our usual Mongolian spot - Mongolie Grill. Nothing about this restaurant was appealing. First, the area to create your meal is TINY and awkward. Basically only one person can fill their bowls at a time. Second, the food selection is scarce and messy! Everything was all jumbled up. This worries me for people with allergies. Third, the meat. Frozen solid and unappealing. The sauces are completely watered down and the veggies are really soggy. Once we sat down and our food came, I was hoping to be surprised and that the food wouldn't be bad. But it was. No amount of hot sauce could make it taste better. It was just a messy bowl of soggy noodles and vegetables. Oh and I'm pretty sure a staff member had his entire family come in for a meal and we were seated right next to the group of 15. They're annoying children kept on running past our table so that also inhibited us from enjoying our meals. Anyways, this place isn't worth a second try! I'm sticking to Mongolie Grill in Langley where everything is fresh and delicious. read more

returned after a year... and regretting that i did. the restaurant was empty and staff were at the bar chit chatting, however it was the lull time between lunch & dinner, so we gave it a chance. arrived at the start of dinner service only to find the food area disheveled and poorly stocked. most of the meats were empty, veges everywhere and sauces contaminating one another. you would think that during this lull time, it would be the best time to tidy the food areas... no? when our food was finally being cooked, it was abandoned twice, which lead to a burnt, soggy end to our meal. at thethe sauces were watered down and super lack lustre. siracha seriously saved the day!! cherry on top... two other staff members/friends came in with bags of mcdonalds and started chowing down while we were eating. such poor etiquette to allow people to bring in outside food to eat in plain view of other patrons. then they were sleeping with their heads down at the bar. wow, so disappointing... read more

Great selection and cleanliness of restaurant. One star less because it was extremely cold inside maybe to counter the grill in the restaurant. Service is good, good selection of vegetables, a variety of sauces and little wait for the food. Good for vegetarians or vegans like me! read more

I like the concept. But they were not great at customer service and half the foid containers were empty. The food itself was ok.

I very much enjoyed this little spot. Food was excellent and priced right. I love Mongolian grills and this is the best one in the area. Great attentive service, and I would definitely go back again. read more

Moved to New West just over a year ago and am slowly trying all the restaurants...This one was on the list...and it didn't disappoint. The great thing about Mongo Bongo is the all you can eat price...you literally can eat as much as you want! LOL most Mongolian Grill places you pay by weight...which usually leads you down the path of not putting as much food in your bowl as you would actually like...not here! Plus you get a choice of white or brown rice and soup! Lots of veg and sauces to choose from. The sign says to use 3-4 scoops of sauce...but I found using 6-7 got way more flavour. read more

Fresh ingredients, great people, good prices. The soup and rice that came with my meal were delicious, which is a pleasant surprise, as i have had terrible experience with those at other AYCE restaurants before. The cook was courteous. The sauces were on point, and my bowl was delicious. I would come back more often if it wasn't so far away. And they have discounts on mondays i think. read more

We decided to try this place and am I glad we did. We got the ayce and I must say I ate way too much... because it was so good. The meat was cut in big slices, I hate when you get almost ground meat so that was nice. The veggies are what blew me away. A lot to choose from, spinach, peppers lettuce and cabage and oh so much more! The only part I was not over the moon with was the sauce selection and that could be because I'm used to different choices. I just couldn't get the taste "right" and that is in no way the fault of theirs. Service was well above expectations. And price was very reasonable @ 14.95$ you can't go wrong. I will be taking the wife here for sure! read more

Very good Mongolian BBQ! Lots of options for a diy bar. Plenty of veggies, meats, noodles and sauces to choose from. Prices are reasonable and they offer an ayce option. Every meal comes with free soup and rice. Service is wonderful. Would definitely recommend. Wish they had more locations! read more

This place is incredible! The value you get for such a low price point is amazing and not to mention they subscribe to the philosophy of "if you can pile it in your bowl, it only counts as one". (Protip: stack meat last for max size) I have eaten here multiple times and honestly the service isn't always the greatest but the style of restaurant is more in the vein of "help yourself" so I don't find it necessary to take off any points for this. If you are looking for great food in the heart of New Westminster, give this place a shot. You get to choose all the foods you put in your bowl so the only flub up that could happen flavor wise would be your own fault. Keto approved! read more

Good selection of meat and fresh veg, and several tasty sauces to choose from. No matter what you put in your bowl, you aren't going to go wrong. We stacked our bowls high and, once grilled, we were served at our table. I'm glad we added the Mongo Wings. Delicious! Give this place a try. read more

Went there tonight (Tuesday) with a buy one get one half off coupon...it was pretty quiet then tons of people showed up. Selection limited but tasty, only complaint is the grill should be a bit hotter to get some better flavour out of the meat (instead of steamed flavour). Got the bill and it was only $10.95 per person for all you can eat...said "dinner special" so maybe discounted on Tuesdays or after 8? Anyways...good fresh food. Plus full bar :) read more

The food is great here very fresh and grilled to perfection ! Been here twice and enjoyed it both times! Just get the bowl not all you can eat so I take my leftovers home ! read more

The food is delicious, service is nice, and it doesn't take long to get your food, which is great if you're always famished like me :D

Mongo Bongo was great when it first opened. It was a fresh dining experience in New Westminster, a place that offers very few choices besides pizza, submarine sandwiches, and Chinese. Since then, unfortunately, it's fallen into that black hole of complacency that claims so many businesses around their two-year mark. The owners, formerly enthusiastic about their business and intent on providing a great customer experience, now seem to be interested in only putting in the very minimum amount of effort required to actually stay open. It's not a terrible restaurant, by any means, but it's not really all that good, either. Mediocrity may not be enough to drive diners away permanently, but it doesn't give them much of a reason to come in regularly, does it? The prices are reasonable and they're not stingy about the amount of ingredients you can choose to throw in your self-assembled stir-fry. But soup, rice, and tea sometimes hit the table lukewarm, and food preparation seems so poorly coordinated that two people sitting at the same table can get their stir-fry dishes ten minutes apart. It's things like that which make or break a dining experience for me. The decor inside is nice, but the buffet area at the front is cramped and poorly laid-out, so that you can never have more than one or two people up there putting together their stir-fries without it turning into a traffic jam. I don't know if I'll be returning any time soon. read more

Very good food and drink price. Easy to get to if you don't drive. Clean environment and friendly staff.

I went to Mongo Bongo last night and it was AMAZING. They have the most amazing noodles and soup there that u could ever imagine!!!! :) I highly recommend it. The prices were a little high, but for a tip fill up the bowl as much as u can! read more

Found out about this place as me and my guy were on a low carb diet for a little bit and this was recommended. The location is convenient as it's pretty much on 6th & 6th in New West. When we went here for the first time, we weren't sure if we'd do the AYCE as the person serving the tables said that you can pack in as much as you can into your first bowl as long as it doesn't pass a certain height limit, which I thought was pretty amusing. There were plenty of veggies and they have a lot of sauces to choose from. The meat selection isn't as vast but you could make your entire bowl just meat if you wanted to. I feel like it would be a little bit of trial and error to find out what flavor combos work best, but then again it doesn't cost that much to upgrade your single bowl into AYCE if it comes to that. I liked the little bit of service where you leave your food for them to cook it for you and it gets brought to your table. The location is so close to home and the price is good, it's one of the places on our list if we want something to eat right away. read more

Simple . . . Load your bowl of healthy goodness & enjoy!! Everything is fresh and at a reasonable price. Great lunch!

We eat here all the time. I would go here once a week if I could. The service and great. Their drink prices are reasonable and I always leave completely satisfied. read more

Decent Mongolian grill. They have a standard lunch and dinner that allows you to fill a bowl up with whatever you want and also comes with a small bowl of rice and a small soup, as well as the all you can eat versions where you can keep refilling your bowl as many times as you want. The ayce version is a few dollars more, but I'd recommend it only for very big eaters. The bowls aren't small and most people are full after a single round. read more

Good place to get noodles. It had been recommended by a friend and they were right - it was really good. Good healthy alternative for fast food. read more

Here are the pros: This restaurant is inexpensive and the food is ok- only about as good as a stir fry I could make at home. That said, it's much easier to walk into Mongo Bongo than shop, lug home groceries, prepare my own meal, and then clean up. (I'm lazy). Here are the cons: The soup didn't have much flavour, and the sauces used on the stir fries were watery and under-seasoned. (I could do that part much better at home). The day that my friend and I ate lunch at Mongo Bongo the dining room area needed cleaning. Many walls and other surfaces had been splattered with oil/sauce/who knows. I get really turned off my meal when the environment is dirty, so I ended up taking most of my meal home in a to-go container. The single wait staff working the floor had more customers than one person should have to handle, but managed to be efficient and effective anyway. Unfortunately the other two staff members visible to us were not as professional as the wait staff. The guy doing the actual grilling of the food seemed underwhelmed and unhappy to be working while he was at work. The young lady refilling the buffet where customers choose their food items seemed to have very little clue what she was doing, kept dropping items on the floor, was grumbling to herself, and took a weirdly long time to fill a container with broccoli florets. She seemed to be counting them as she loaded them in, then appeared to lose track of the number loaded, and would start over. She was not dressed appropriately for food service, and at first my friend and I thought she was a very annoying customer who was fiddling with all the food. There were several people lined up waiting to add food to their plates, she caused something of a log jam. Here are some suggestions for improvement: -improve the sauces and/or provide *lots* of sriracha -clean the dining room thoroughly - keep the raw food buffets tidy and organized - have enough wait staff scheduled to work busy periods if at all possible - refill the raw food buffets behind the scenes - keep clueless, angry, or otherwise inhospitable staff members out of sight (or provide them with enough training so they can present themselves as food service professionals) I recommend Mongo Bongo to you if: - you want to eat an inexpensive but HUGE meal - you don't care about how clean and tidy the restaurant is - you are very picky or have dietary restrictions (you pick out exactly which foods you want, which makes it easy to avoid things you can't, won't or shouldn't eat) read more

They have snotty, bratty staff that couldn't be bothered to ever give good service. I had downright awful service when I went a few months ago. Avoid this place like the plague! read more

We eat here a lot. The food's not incredibly amazing or anything, but it's good. And it's way more fun to eat here than most other places. Once you've been a few times you start to develop the techniques you'll need to pile as many ingredients into your bowl as possible. Oh, and my favorite sauce mixture is like 6 or 7 scoops of the coconut curry sauce and a few of the mongo bongo special sauce plus a little garlic broth *drool* read more

We come here for dinner quite often. We usually dine in but they also have a take-out option. Every single time we have come here, the service and food has been exceptional. Once during the New Westminster Hyack Festival, the place was very busy and totally packed. There were only two servers but they still managed to provide exceptional service to everyone. The people here are wonderful and you get great food at a very reasonable price. Mongo Bongo has become a regular place for us now. I highly recommend it. read more

I love this place. My wife and I have come here almost every week for 4 years. The owner is awesome, the staff is awesome and the food is amazing. Very good pricing too. We normally get 2 meals each from one togo box and that makes for awesome breakfast the next morning. read more
