Upcharged us for an unlimited meal when using only one bowl. Charged us extra for drinks we ordered but never received. Do not go here unless you plan to spend $60 more than you budgeted. The restaurant itself was dirty and the guy who over-charged us pretended not to be able to speak English so he wouldn't have to change it. 0/10 will not be coming back. read more

Pre COVID. Great place. Great service. Rice and bread were fresh. Meat was frozen. And got a side of soup. Post COVID. Bread looks like triskets. No more soup. And understaffed. While they had a private party going on. They forgot to attend the regulars. Been coming here for a good minute. Probably my last. By the way. I had just walked in when they open. And was the first customer. And noticed that the sauce area was filthy. Not the same place I was used to. read more

Food: very flavorful and delicious...fresh quality and great priced. Service: Unfortunately, very bad service. I was kicked out because they said they were closed when it's 3 pm with no sign or anything. The doors were unlocked, and when I entered for lunch, he yelled that they were closed until 430. I'm VERY disappointed and sad. Location: Great location...inside is clean and well-maintained. Food remains fresh and good quality. read more

Service was super nice! Food was yummy, I recommend putting a lot more sauce on for more flavor! Music is nice, ambiance itself is nice. We love the complementary jello and sesame bread!! Coming back soon read more

This is one of my wife favorites place to eat. We had been coming here for years now. The food is fresh. And you can do all you can eat or one plate only. And you guess. We love to do all you can eat. You are right !!! We don't do all you can eat to eat big plates lol. We do it because we like to get small portions and each one with different combinations. So you can wat at least three times and make different combinations, like veggies only. Veggies with meat etc. So definitely please visit this place and if you can. Please tip the people that is preparing your food. A $5 dollar bill will be a good help for saying thank you for cooking my meal or ($10,$20 if you feel generous ). You might be thinking. I am already paying for my food and their salary. Lol. Well owners get the money so tips are usually for them, I hope so. So please tip. read more

It was my first time here and it was very messy. Cleanness I would give it a zero unfortunately. The service was the only good thing.

Went to bathroom and they had roaches that were dead not clean. Over all food tastes delicious

I had pretty tame expectations here and they were all thoroughly disappointed. Everything about this place is sub-par, from the room temperature raw meat sitting out on the buffet line to the lackluster service. The soup was too salty, the egg roll was an affront against God and all fried foods everywhere, and the BBQ bowl was forgettable- sad really. I've eaten literal garbage that tasted better (a long story involving MDMA and a sheet-cake) and had more fun recovering from dental surgery. The people in the restaurant look like they are all waiting to die- like they are all trapped in some after-life waiting room forever. Do yourself a favor and avoid. read more

Was told $17.95 per person at the door. Assumed AYCE pricing but it was per bowl and not per person. $2/person extra for AYCE. Salty rice (???). $3 for one cup of soda. They ran out of meat after one serving. It was 2 hours before posted closing time on Yelp. Never coming back read more

Mongol King - Tasteless bread - Barbeque Near Me - Torrance, California

Well...I don't like to write bad reviews but here goes. We've been coming here for at least 15 years. My daughter and I came tonite and it wasn't very good. Tables weren't being cleaned, the food area was kinda gross but what was so strange was the floors...they were so sticky...eww. However, the big WTF moment was the bill...two one serving meals plus 2 drinks...$44.00??? Won't be back... read more

The food is super bland, old or expired. -all of their foods on their buffet counter seem old including the brownies, egg rolls, watermelon and won tons. -the workers should help suggest sauces because our cooked food was super bland even after adding many sauces. -the ice cream machine is dairy free and pretty gross. The kids didn't even like it. -a big spider was crawling on the wall next to us -even the fortune cookies were expired We remember loving this place 20 years ago, but unfortunately nothing has changed in that time. The food tastes like it's sat on the counter this entire time. read more

My husband and I used to love coming here. We haven't been here since before covid (over a year), so we were excited to have dinner here tonight. We walked in and immediately noticed the meat that is usually frozen, was completely defrosted, and looked like it had been sitting there all day. The hostess offered to bring us "fresh" meet from the back. As we moved to the vegetable area we quickly realized that there were gnats all over the vegetables. Hundreds of them. We ended up leaving the restaurant at that point. What a bummer, not sure if management is trying to save money, but we will never go back, based on this experience read more

Even though this place is not very big, they do a decent job on the Mongolian BBQ. The selection doesn't look like much but it has all your needs meat and veggie-wise to make a killer plate of food. I opt for pork and tofu and cilantro, broccoli, water chestnuts, zucchini, baby corn, onion, green onion, spinach. Perfect for those not wanting carbs--just skip the noodles! They do automatically bring you a pot of rice, the sesame bread, and a savory mushroom soup. My main disappointment was the sesame bread. I was so looking forward to it--it looked homemade! But it had a weird sour aftertaste that was maybe the taste of raw flour? Not quite sure. Maybe it needed salt. Anyway, it's all good otherwise! $12.99 for a single bowl (but you have to let them know up front!) or $14.99 AYCE! Enjoy! read more

Mongol King - Pork and veggies, no noodles - Barbeque Near Me - Torrance, California

I went to Mongol King for a to go order. I would have to say this spot was a good choice to grab some dinner. I ordered 3 plates to go of their all you can eat dinner plates. The bowls you use to fill up your choices of meat and veggies was slightly smaller than previous spots I had went to but with the right technique and packing skills I made sure each plate had enough bang for your buck. You have to make sure you make use of the sauces. Their spicy sauces were my choice and it was well worth mixing. The service was pretty fast, literally in seconds after you place your packed bowl on the counter the cook's grabbed them and got started on cooking your items. They cooked everything very well. Once the cooks were done the server packed my food very quick along with some rice and bread. For $12.99 each for their dinner All You Can Eat is well worth it. My family & I will definitely be back soon. read more

Met up with an old friend for lunch and what better place to go to than a place you used to frequent often with them. Que Mongol King. Me: how about dumplings I know a great local place Friend: umm no Me: thai food? Friend: thai food?! when did you start eating that? Me: oh geez... Me: Mongol King? Friend: HELL YEAH! Drive fast they close early. We actually thought we were not going to make it but they closed at 3pm instead of the 1:30pm my friend thought. SCORE! Just like old times, before you even get seated at a table you pretty much order as you walk in the door. I went for the one trip and being the manly man he is, he went for the AYCE. Ordered our drinks, picked up our bowls and it was load up time. Like the old days, I was still amazed how he built his bowl. Piled HIGH yet nothing toppled over. I got the hang of it instantly and it was just like old times. Filled my bowl first with my meat choices (beef and chicken). Pork, Lamb and Turkey are also available. All meats are thinly shaved and flash frozen. Next trip was to the veggie station. Pretty much everything you can think of. Broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, green onions, pineapple and much much more. Time to sauce it up. There you will also find another surplus of choices. Teriyaki, soy sauce, garlic sauce, dragon sauce, jalapeno oil, fish sauce and the list goes on. After sauces is noodles (if you choose) and then repeat the sauces. I like to sauce in between layers as well but if the place is crowded it can be kind of hard. Last step is the wok. You set your bowl down and watch them get to cookin. In about 3 minutes or so your piping hot creation is plated and ready for consumption. Don't forget to tip the cook! The AYCE came with a small cup of soup, 2 fried wontons, 1 veggie springroll and the yummy sesame seed pocket looking breads. One plate does me fine but getting the AYCE is worth it bc of the extras you get on the side. You can do up your bowl as you please. While we were eating this one guy filled up the whole bowl with ONLY MEAT and sauce. Crazy!. Will totally return. Hmmm this would make an awesomely fun UYE.... read more

I am the Mongol King. My Kingdom is Torrance*. My people are very nice. When not in my castle, this is my 'go to' place. Sure, there are other Mongolian places that are good, and similiar. But, highlights of this place is that it is kept very clean, they feature tofu (rare to find at mongolian joints) among the meats (chicken, turkey, pork, beef, and lamb), the servers have been the same for years (so they know the regulars), and they have amazing brownies for dessert! Also, the egg drop soup is actually good -- no dishwater yuckie taste! Yay! Two options: a one-trip or an all-you-can-eat (AYCE). Prices: Lunch ($8.49/$10.49) or Dinner ($10.49/$12.49). Everytime I've gone I get the AYCE. Afterall, it's a healthy choice for dinner, and I can eat the size of a Royal Carriage worth of meat and veggies. I command thee to go. * Well, my Kingdom is now Glendale. read more

+1 star for a cool name! A little dirty, but Signora and I really enjoyed Mongol. It was a Saturday evening around 6 PM, and the place was hopping. I guess AYCE brings them in. Meat selections are good: beef, chicken, lamb, pork. The meat itself is odd; it comes in frozen slices that are covered with white frost right out of the freezer, but looks like normal frozen meat slices when partially thawed. And hey, when frozen, it's easier to pick up a big mess of them with the tongs and fill your bowl. A selection of 6 or 8 sauces make the difference between ordinary and tasty Mongol fare. I chose the Demon Spice, which was of the jalapeno heat variety. Ho hum but tasty. The chefs do a nice job of cooking everything on the big honkin' stone in the middle of the place. At $12.95 each, pretty good for AYCE. And the nice thing is you control the ingredients, so if you can look past the frozen meat discs you can have a nice Mongolian-like feast. Nice staff, too. We will go back ... but only if the urge strikes. read more

Mongol King, oh my beloved Mongol King. Dining at this restaurant seriously brings me nostalgia like no other; I would often cruise to Mongol King with some buddies after early dismissal from middle/high school, knowing that (numerous) plates of tasty grilled-up meat, noodles, and veggies would be waiting for me. The food is affordable and tasty and the level of customization is pretty top notch; all-you-can-eat should set you back about $12-13, and you can definitely have yourself an affordable food baby if you play your cards right. Furthermore, the service is speedy (although not much service is really required, after all) and pretty attentive. Now, if you've been to a Mongolian BBQ before, you already know the gist of things: - Select your meat components (Mongol King offers beef, chicken, pork, lamb, and turkey) - Add on vegetables/additional stuff (which includes the mainstays like broccoli, tomato, mushrooms, sliced carrot, etc...I'm a big fan of throwing in some pineapple) - Throw some noodles atop your customized mound of nomnom (optional, obviously) - Add in your desired combination of sauces/oils (this is where the fun really takes place: blending different sauces is what really differentiates one diner's creation from another; I'm partial to a mix of two spoonfuls of Dragon Sauce, two more of Lemon Water, two more of garlic, and a spoonful of BBQ oil to give the BBQ that inexplicable, incomparable tastiness that only good, non-food-court Mongolian BBQ can provide) - Entrust the grilling of your food to the two hardworking fellas circling around the massive grill positioned at the center of the restaurant; these cooks stir-fry your meal to perfection and serve up your creation on a plate, piping-hot and ready to be devoured in a flash. - Repeat as necessary until you feel as though you've doubled your body weight (at least that's what I do) Mongol King offers patrons some pretty tasty sides to go along with your meal, as well. As mentioned in other reviews, their soup starter doesn't feel like a dish that was a half-assed afterthought; it's a comforting broth with bits of crisp wonton and mushroom. Also, some crispy sesame seed biscuits, rice, and wontons/eggrolls are provided to any diners looking to munch on the whole spectrum of Mongol King's offerings. For dessert, the restaurant offers brownie bites (which are pretty meh) and some delicious vanilla ice cream - for some reason, their soft serve tastes especially sweet and fresh to me, but that may just be the nostalgia in me taking over. Basically, Mongol King is the bee's knees. If you're looking for a no-hassle, I've-gotta-fill-my-belly right now type of meal that will be both comforting and slightly off the beaten path, this place should definitely make your list. read more

My boyfriend took me to this restaurant when we first started dating and 3 years later we are still going there. I think this place is amazing. Lately I've been putting a little bit of kimchi in the mix and have the guys cook it with the meat and the noodles. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food taste okay, but I can't literally see noodles on the floor . Noodles in the garlic and teriyaki sauce . It's grimy also the the raw meats sit next to a ice cream machine that's blowing warm air so the meats like Chicken , pork, lamb are melting away . But mainly 2 stars for the lack of concern of wiping down counters and food on the floor. And it's hot no a/c inside . read more

This was the place for me to go for high school for lunch. Friends and I would go and try to stack as many as we can onto the one bowl to get the maximum amount of meat and veggies. We even started to use a method of take another bowl and pressing the meat down so it can be even more compact! Ruthless yes, but we were in high school! Haven't been back for quite a few years but we decided to drop by. The place is pretty old now and you can tell as soon as you walk in. We were delighted to find that they had an AYCE option for a little under $12. That's actually cheaper than most of the AYCE Mongolian BBQ spots around South Bay. They have your typical selections of protein: beef, chicken, pork, turkey, lamb, and tofu. The meat are sliced frozen but thanks to it being a little fatty, the flavors are still there. Veggie selections are the norm as well, with the usual such as onions and broccoli. There's a poster on the wall that tells you how much ladles of sauces and variety of water to add, but no matter what you add, make sure you add enough of the lemon water and ginger water. Not only will it help dilute all the salty Mongol sauces you add so it's not overly salty, it'll also help with making the meat more tender. Experiment and you'll eventually find your combination! There's an salad bar which is quite sad actually so I didn't really take anything from it. Egg rolls and fried wontons aren't bad and tastes like the ones from Costco. Don't try the kimchi... it's just odd. Actually just skip that whole left section of the buffet and concentrate on the other side! There's desserts such as brownie, jello, and soft serve but I had 3 plates of BBQ and couldn't eat anymore, but at least there is dessert? For around $12, it's a pretty good deal since other places charge up to $14, 15 for AYCE dinner. May not be the freshest in terms of meat, but it's the same everywhere else. If you know you can't eat that much, just go for the one plate option! read more

Food is fresh and really hot. That's the best part. The bread pockets are delicious. You can't go wrong. I just wish they would bring back the fruit..(watermelon & oranges). read more

I love this place. It's casual, friendly, clean, and the food is fresh! I came here all the time when I lived in the area (ahh, the high school years), but now I stop in occasionally on my weekends in the South Bay. I always look forward to their sesame breads... yum! I love that it has an all-you-can-eat option, so I don't need to push my food into the bowl. And I can control how much sauce and oil goes into my bowl. Not like at the mall where my Mongolian BBQ comes out drenched! I'm mildly OCD. And even after I've stuffed myself silly, there's still seems to be enough room for vanilla ice cream and brownies. Every time. read more

Be prepared to be about 5lbs heavier when leaving this place! The Food: This is a mongolian bbq joint, and if you go during lunch time they have an all you can eat buffet which is really worth it for about $15. They have a decent selection of meats, beef, pork, chicken, turkey and lamb but not the highest quality like no all you can eat mongolian places. They also have a good amount of vegetable... but my favorite part are the sauces! Everything from lemon, to garlic, to spicy... they have like 9 different sauces to choose from to make your MONGOL KING dish. Its all cooked there in hand as well, so it's a nice show to see your piping hot food be put on a plate. I usually get lamb noodles onions spinach and all the sauces... or tofu... their tofu is fire! When you get sat down at the table they also bring you appetisers like bread, egg rolls and fried wontons but no one really eats these... I do but my coworkers done. They're ok but not the best... they're just filler food. Honestly, I would politely ask and tell them not to bring it when you sit down because it'll be a waste of food. The Place: Mongol King was recently renovated, not from the inside but more from the outside. There are bigger windows and it looks nicer when approaching. The inside is decently sized, for lunch on a friday, we never had a problem finding a place to sit but it can get a little busy the later you come in. The Service: This is wait to be seated, but we never have to wait too long. Every time I've been here there's been at least 4 people in our party. They dont really wait you here except for bringing some alacarte items and your drinks... when you pay you can tip in the front. PRO TIP: MAKE SURE YOU TIP YOUR COOKS!!! read more

Alright guys, it's time to take down that Great Wall of China... by gorging ourselves with lots of Mongolian BBQ. My cronies and I had the AYCE and it's pretty darn spanderific that you can add your own toppings to your plate. There are also different sauces for those feeling particularly... uh... saucy. It's fun to watch the chefs cook your plate in a huge cooking pan. read more

Awesome place. Just what I was looking for; was craving mongolian bbq for dinner and searched yelp. I'm glad I checked this place out. Parking is plenty, but seating is limited. We got there a little late, but it was somewhat busy. Was able to be seated quickly though. There were 5 different meats: beef, pork, turkey, chicken, and lamb. I only bothered with the beef and turkey. The quality was mediocre. Nothing spectacular, but not like you didn't want to eat it. The cuts were inconsistent. I guess because it was the end of the night, they didn't replace the beef, but it was dwindling and the only pieces left were little scraps. Something you'd have to use a spoon to eat. They have all kinds of vegetables, but in my mongolian bbq I just stick with onions and scallions. Thinking back, I probably should have put some other stuff in it. Next time. They also have a bunch of different sauces, none of which were anywhere near as spicy as I would have liked. The first time I made my bowl, I wasn't sure how much sauce to put in so I put one scoop of different sauces (Spicy, garlic, mongol, and dragon something), but it was quite bland when I got to eating it. I think I remember several people mentioning it being flavorless here on yelp, but it is a buffet; you can change the amounts of everything. So the second time around I drenched my bowl. It turned out great, but again, not spicy enough. I ended up mixing in some sriracha and it was perfect. There is also a 'salad bar' of some sort where I tried their fried wontons (which I could not decipher what was inside) and fried egg rolls (with mushy vegetables inside). I remember seeing also some kimchi of some sort and a salad, none of which seemed too appetizing. I was there just for the bbq anyway. I was quite satisfied with their dessert. There was a soft serve ice cream machine with vanilla, as well as what looked like jello and a huge tray of brownies. I put the brownie at the bottom of the cup and filled it with soft serve. Delicious! All in all, I was very satisfied with the food. The price was acceptable for me as I did a whole lot of eating. Ended up paying $15 including tip. The mushroom soup they give along with the sesame bread and rice I could have gone without. Rice was great to mix in your dish if you put too much sauce and made it too salty. The reason for losing a star? Cleanliness. The sauce bar was atrocious. Sauce was everywhere on the counter. It didn't affect the food, but it was not appealing to look at whatsoever. I'll be back there soon. read more

First time. Got there right when they opened at 4:30. Only a few people there. Food was good. Reminded me of the Mongolian food at the mall. I liked their sauce selection, especially garlic and ginger. I had my food to go. I didn't know they added rice and bread for your meal. Nice addition but I didn't want white rice. That will be the only change I make when I go back, no rice to go. Friendly staff. Would definitely go back. read more

My experience with Mongolian BBQ is moderately diverse. I first had it when I was going to UCLA at Mongol's in Westwood. To me, that set the bar and was the standard for Mongolian BBQ because it was always delish and a good value. Since then, the prices have gone up and they started getting stingy with the noodles, but they were still the taste I compared all other BBQ places to. In my experience, there are two types of places: 1. places where you do your own sauce selection 2. places where you tell them how hot and garlicy you want it and they do the mixing for you (like Mongols). Personally, I prefer the type #2 if they can do it well enough. However, I have been to Big Wok and now this Mongol King and kind of enjoy the control I have over my sauces since I can be very liberal with them. So getting to this restaurant, it's all you can eat, reasonably prices for that feature, has a good selection of meats, a great selection of fresh veggies, lots of sauce options with clear directions, two cooks working in parallel during busy times, and a variety of other accompanying items to enjoy (salads, soup, rice, soft serve, etc). If you put some extra sauce on (I usually double what the directions are just to make sure there is sufficient flavor and moisture) then the end products are great tasting and you will definitely be full (how could you not be)? The one complaint I have about this place is that once you are seated, the service blows. Refills of drinks, getting extra napkins, silverware, etc. either requires flagging down someone or just waiting a while. They have a "let's get you set up and then you're on your own" approach that I don't particularly like, but it might be the offset to the price and quality benefits you get. Summary: I'd recommend it because it's good and pretty cheap and filling. Just don't expect much attention from the staff. read more

AYCE Mongolian BBQ. Probably not as commercial as Big Wok or Genghis Khan, but it's also not located inside a mall with lines curling around the goddam food court. When you are seated, you get a mushroom soup containing a couple slices of white mushroom and fried wonton chips (for texture?). The soup was good but only because of the copious amounts of MSG used. The mongolian bbq selection was pretty much standard. They have a bevy of sauces which I liked mixing and matching. I like that they had some kimchi at the buffet bar along with eggrolls, wontons, salad, etc. I like that they had a soft serve machine, great for dessert. located in between the salad and the meat, strange but hey, not my restaurant. You can put the ice cream machine where ever you want. Be sure to let them know ahead of time if you want to eat ONCE and NOT AYCE. Tip for the girls, only then can you ask for a to go box. read more

Mongol King - Barbeque Near Me - Torrance, California

You know, they say to never judge a book by its cover. An ugly duckling can turn into a beautiful swan; at least in fairy tales they do. In the real world however, looks can definitely make or break a dining experience. When it comes to Mongol King in Torrance, this ugly duckling definitely impacts your dining experience. DECO: 2 stars When you look at the outside of this nonchalant Mongolian restaurant, nothing really catches your eye. The outside has large bold letters that spell out its name and that's about it. However, it's the inside that really gets you. The interior is built like a half Chinese restaurant, half business office. If you've ever seen an office building turned into a deli, this is kind of what it feels like. The walls are bland colored, with strange choices for decorations all over the place. White globe shades encircle the lighting fixtures. Old faded wooden tables and chairs line the walls. Even the food area looks sad. The enclosures for each item looks like a jail hid behind a sneeze guard. Although it makes sense to only put out enough food for the people dining, the small portions in large openings make for sad eye candy. However, there is one truly interesting piece of hardware that is impressive: the giant circular heat disc. In Mongolian dining, you choose the ingredients you want (from the food area a la buffet style), the sauces, and you hand it over to the chef who cooks all the ingredients similar to a wok on this giant iron disc heated from below. As he churns your diced meats, vegetables, and noodles over this intensely hot surface, he circles around the disc like a merry-go-round. Within a few minutes, your mash up of ingredients becomes a beautifully mixed bounty of delight. FOOD: 3 stars The choice of meats available are beef, chicken, pork, and lamb. These are frozen meats sliced thinly for faster cooking. The vegetables range from broccoli and baby corn to sliced carrots and mushrooms. They have over ten different types of sauces, from "regular" to "dragon oil". With all these different combinations, it's really up to you on what type of food you want to eat. If you're confused on how to go about it, just experiment. Just remember, lamb is usually a very strong tasting meat, and could drown out the flavors of the other meats. But there's nothing quite like food made fresh and hot, right in front of you. They also serve you some wontons, an eggroll, and a light soup before your meal. These are to be avoided at all costs as the soup is bland, and the wontons and eggroll are too hard. Just stick with the main course. PRICE: 3 stars The pricing is fair, with a lunch buffet of all you can eat being $9.99. Not to mention, they also have a vanilla soft serve available after your consumption of all that meat. SERVICE: 2 stars The service is also nice, although lacking. The older female waitress reminds me of Claudia Black (Farscape, Pitch Black). Like if she was Claudia Black's great aunt. CONCLUSION Mongol King has some good food; freshly prepared food in front of your face is hard to find. However, ultimately the deco drains you. Although you might be rocking out to some tasty food, you'll slowly find yourself wanting to get out of there as the mood gets you down. It's too bad since the food is good for such a sub-par setting. However, if setting and deco don't distract you, Mongol King is sure to be a good find for food. read more

"What would you like to drink? "Water" "Bottled water?" "It doesn't matter, any kind of water" "Bottled?" "Do you have tap water?" "Yes" "Then that's, fine." "Okay, so bottled?" "No, tap is fine" "Bottled....?" ?!?!??!?! Wtf is this all about??? I've never had someone push bottled water on me so hard before. I would have rather skipped this entire exchange and paid for the darn bottle. Omg. Yes, like this is a five star restaurant with evian or some crap like that and I'm some uppity customer who can't drink the local fare. ????? Blah. We joined a party that was already at the restaurant, but we were never given soup or wontons/eggrolls. When we asked for more bread, the guy wanted us to tell him exactly how many more pieces we wanted, and he wouldn't leave or bring us any until we estimated a number. ??? I made my first selection with noodles, and my second was just meat and veggies that I ate with rice (I liked that much better btw. The reason for the one star is that something about the food did not sit well with me and I had to pull over to the nearest Jack in the Box to evacuate my bowels. :((((((((((((((((( Yum!!!! read more

Lunch at Mongol King on Friday Aug 7, Single-Plate or AYCE. Food was fresh and very tasty! Mongol Chef's were thorough in cooking food to perfection. Like a salad bar you choose a bowl and pile your preferred meats (optional); Beef, Pork, Turkey, Chicken or Lamb. Then, choose all the veggies/fruit you want to go with it and your pasta. They have a variety of tasty sauces from mild to spicy to top it all off. From there, you deliver your bowl(s) to the chef at the Mongol grill where it gets stir-fried as you wait. The waitress was excellent in service, I believe she was the only waitress there handling the place single-handed. She was very friendly and offered rice and bread with my meal. She also showed me around on how things worked when I walked in, since I was a first time customer. I think I'll visit again soon. Great food. But, maybe I'll eat outside next time. There was only one negative in my experience. The restaurant was very hot inside, seemed like there was no air conditioning at all, and the grill is piping hot, so it makes the place steamy a bit like a sauna. Since they had self serve ice cream, that helped a little! read more

This place is terrible! The options are super limited and the sauces don't have a lot of flavor. Since the place is pretty small, it fills with smoke pretty easily while the food is being cooked. My food was bland, greasy and totally overpriced for what I got. Service is also super slow. We had to ask for rice like three times before we got some. Will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. read more

Customer Service is great - no issues there. Food quality is "fair" - the sauces and what not need to be kept up with - if you're charging a good amount for people to eat at least give them a decent sized bowl to work with - let me be the first to say that "to go containers" shouldn't be shamed upon - we were told we could not get a container because I got up twice - yet the table next to me seemed to have known the people working there and they got up more than once - they were given a container but not us - another woman had the same complaint and when asking a question the man walked away and did not address it - if someone is paying for food then they should be able to take it home with them if it isn't finished - I would think it'd be tossed away afterwards - wasteful much ? On a side note : keeping the meats separated should be done - using the same tongs for chicken and beef ? - isn't that considered "cross contamination" - I would advise your staff to brush up on the "food handlers test" if reference is needed. Not going back anytime soon - too many errors - 2 stars. read more

My stomach was in much need of food. I have not eaten for what it felt like days. I search high and low... actually I just went down the street. What stood before me was a place, a place call Mongol King. I did not foresee such a large crowd on a day before the SuperBowl or rather The Big Game. But atlas one table was vacant. We bestole upon it before it was ravage by other customers. A nice man greeted us with water to quench our thirst. We approach the area of feast. There lies choices of beef, chicken, lamb, and other delicious meat. Upon the other table had so many choices of vegetables that we have ever seen with our own eyes. I hand my bowl to one of the two men with large swords. They pour my food over a large wok and dance around it. I can hear the meat sizzle as my mouth was salivating for its nutrients. Within minutes, the food was cook and the nice man handed me a hot plate. I went three rounds to satisfied my hunger. I ended my feast with a nice soft serve ice cream and a brownie. Tis, I shall return another day... Thank you. read more

This place is great! It's a typical Mongolian place in looks, as in it's a little run down and dingy, but the food is fantastic! It's fresh and delicious. At the end of the day, if you don't like your food, you made it..Haha I've been here twice, both times my bowls were great, and I love the option to have salad and sesame bread and everything else they offer! I also like the option to have 1 bowl or unlimited. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. This place is always fresh, always consistent, and they have a great selection of toppings and sauces. I love the little biscuits and rice they bring with your meal. I introduced my husband to this spot and now he craves it all the time. It may be old but don't be fooled, the food is delicious and always great service!! Thanks Mongol King! read more
