Fresh off a flight into Boise, I wandered into a no‑frills, no‑nonsense Mongolian BBQ just down the street from my stay. Moments after walking in, I was seated and given the crash course: Step one -- load a bowl with your pick of proteins, toppings, and noodles. Step two -- build your sauce from a dizzying line‑up of choices. Step three -- hand it all over to the grill master, who turns it into sizzling art on the flat‑top in less time than it takes to check your phone. There are various bowl sizes and an All You Can Eat option-- for those prepared to test the laws of physics. My medium was just right. A bowl of white rice was also waiting for me at my booth: perfect for chasing the last of the sauce. My stir‑fry hit all the marks I wanted: the punch of garlic, the kick from jalapeños, and that satisfying, wok‑kissed finish. Value? Excellent -- especially if you've got the appetite (and stamina) for AYCE. I'm already plotting my return run at the grill. read more

This is definitely don't judge a book by its cover on the outside this place looks suspicious on the inside, not much better. But the quality of the ingredients and the way everything is prepared and how kind the staff is this place is a gym very reasonably priced the sauces they have for you to make your own really hit the spot read more

I really love this place! I have a standing monthly lunch with friends and we always sit in the same booth. It makes us giggle and now everyone there has gotten familiar with us and knows which booth is ours. We hope to be 80 and still sitting in our booth. Service is extremely consistent and prompt. I can almost guarantee you you will be welcomed, "welcome in!" Which is a lost character of many restaurants now. I find it sweet. I always come before the lunch rush and the food area is neat, full, and organized. I am strategic to show before the crowd so I do not know what the food area looks like after the rush. I imagine it is taken care of because they are consistently checking the food area. I appreciate that. Don't burn your tongue! After you get your food cooked it is extremely hot! I know it sounds silly to say but I am always so eager to dig in and now I know to stir my food a little to let the heat escape. Peanuts are served at a food station and cooked on the grill top. Could be an issue for people with allergies. Lots of veggie options, although meat is cooked on the same grill as well. Ask to see if there are other cooking options if peanuts or other dietary items are issues. Great spot, friendly service, lots of food. See you there soon, don't take our booth! :) read more

Mongolian BBQ - a plate of noodles with broccoli and onions - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

My wife and I tried this a few weeks back. It has been many years since we had eaten there, and it used to be quite good. However, this time it wasn't so good. I'm not sure if the grill needed to be hotter, or they needed to take the food around the grill one more time. Our food had way too much "soup" in the bottom of the bowl and there was almost no flavor. We put on many ladles of sauce too, so not sure what was going on. I'm going to need to find a different grill.... read more

Great place to come for all you can eat build your own food! The establishment is very clean, the food is fresh, and there are many choices to choose from! There are many fresh veggies and selections of meat to choose from as well as sauces! This makes for a great low-carb diet, but you can also add noodles or have rice on the side! The dishes are cooked in front of you so it's nice and hot! The service is very friendly and happy to assist! I would recommend coming to this restaurant if you want something fresh, filling, and fun! read more

Very friendly service the bar was full of fresh ingredients to choose from. The only suggestion I have is to better label the sauce choices. That is the only reason for not having 5 stars. I wish there was a way to do a half star. read more

Mongolian BBQ - Mongolian stir fry - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Food was good. Lots of choices. Nice selection of oils and sauces. Just what a Mongolian BBQ ought to be.

Service was great we were immediately sat and directed on how to use the food bar. No one was waiting to get the Mongolian food cooked so we got right in. The food was very hot and tasty, a little salty but that was my own fault. I'd definitely come back here again!! read more

The Mongolian BBQ on state street has got to be my favorite by far. The sauce is remarkable and not watered down like other Mongolian. The service was very good and the music was even very satisfying. This is my new go to read more

It was quick and delicious. Pleasant, helpful staff. Convenient location. Great variety of vegetables, meats/protein, sauces.

Absolutely love this place! Came for a takeout order and the employees helped teach me how to get my bowl ready. A super fun way of putting together your own order. After living in hawaii for 4 years, this place is such a nice present. The bowls are 100% customizable and easy to assemble. You go through and add everything you would like in your bowl including the sauces and the chefs cook it on a hot plate in front of you! Very fun and exciting The employees saw me struggling to decide on things and had me add MORE food to my bowl and recommended sauces for me to add which was so nice. Definitely coming back to this place. read more

Very friendly service, great price! Lots of fresh ingredients. Pork, beef or chicken are self service not dolled out. Only thing that would have made it better is if they offered an imported beer from Asia. They let you take home leftovers. read more

The best place to dine in or takeout noodles on the go! You can choose many sauces and the cooks stir fry it on the round stove, it was pretty awesome! I think the one on Broadway has very nice hosts and staff, a place to eat anytime during the day. read more

Mongolian BBQ - a plate of noodles on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Of all the offerings of Mongolian BBQ in Boise, this place has always been consistently the best. Run by a familiar crew of folks, food and service are consistent. One of the friendliest waitresses in Boise works her. She's always ready with a smile and remembers my drink order though I don't think I could be called a regular there. Decor takes me back to the nineties, which is a good thing. It's a comfortable and casual place to eat. It's hard to beat one of their hot bowls of noodles made by you to your liking! Try the Mongolian BBQ sauce on your food. Tasty! read more

Mongolian BBQ - Red vinyl at Mongolian BBQ. - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Food, Service, and environment are phenomenal, but I would like to see some of the ingredients chopped up into smaller pieces. Especially the cilantro, bell peppers, and onions. read more

This is one of my favorite Mongolian BBQ spots. It is pretty clean, the staff is quick and courteous and the food is kept appropriately chilled while waiting to be piled into your bowl. I frequented Mongolian BBQ while pregnant, because it was the only way I could stomach vegetables. :) I love all the options here. Tons of veg (such as cabbage, pepper, onion, snap peas, carrots, broccoli, zucc) protein (pork, chicken, beef, imitation crab, bay shrimp, tofu, nuts) and other toppings (pineapple, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, herbs). They have the standard sauces. I like to mix Mongolian BBQ, Sweet & Sour, Fire Oil, Garlic Sauce, and Lemon Juice to create a spicy, sweet, smokey yum. The last time I came, I was with a couple of girlfriends. I ordered a glass of $4 Chardonnay, thinking "Eh, whatever. The night is young". They brought me out the BIGGEST glass of chardonnay ever! Filled to the top! :) And it complemented my spicy noodles quite nicely. read more

Greeted right away. The place was clean and inviting. The host was friendly and pleasant. The food was great! There was an abundance of fresh veggies and sauces with recommendations useful to those like me who are not experienced here. My picky eaters enjoyed their food too which is a big deal. Will definitely be returning again soon. read more

Normally a 5 star every time. This time I had a lot of issues. A lot of the choices for the bbq were empty or near empty. And sitting at my table the Sriracha bottle looked like it had not been cleaned ever. The lid was clogged and crusted over. The servers are always fantastic though and she got me a new bottle for the table. I hope next time is 5 star again read more

One of the only Mongolian places that are amazing and reasonable price. You also get to take your leftovers home!

Oh man! Everytime I eat Mongolian BBQ I get overstuffed and have to save the rest for a late dinner. I am so in love with these places it's almost pitiful! I went here today with a friend and had the best time ever. We say down and we watched part of the New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos game. It was a great setup for someone who is now handicappable. They made room for me and made me feel welcome. After the food was done, I was easily able to wheel into the bathroom and made it easily to the toilet. Thank you guys and gals for being so helpful! read more

Mongolian BBQ - Awesomeness in a bowl!! - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Hands Down BEST Mongolian BBQ in Boise!! Clean and excellent service. The chefs were great and the food was soooooo good I had to get another order to go just to have some more at home for later!! I will be back. Thanks!! read more

I have been coming here since I was 14 (27 now) and this is my favorite place on earth. Have lived in CO, VA, and TX and I could never find anything close to this amazing place. Every time I'm in town I come straight here and it's just as good as the first time I've had it. Even am still remembered when I come in. 10++++ stars! read more

Mongolian BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

They are getting more restrictive on how much goes in a bowl, I understand because some people go way over the top. The place is clean but not super clean, the staff is nice but not really nice. Over all the food is great if you make it great and its a better than average place to eat! read more

This place is so good!!!!!! The service was amazing! A really nice lady came in and sat us down and asked if we'd been here before and gave us the run down and we made big bowls for each of us. The chefs were fun to watch and the secret is to load up your bowl with meat and noodles and tons of sauce like eight scoops and a few scoops of oil. Definitely recommend! read more

Mongolian BBQ - a man eating a bowl of noodles - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Checked out this location for dinner on a Friday evening. I've been to their Nampa location, usually for lunch so I knew I liked their food. This Boise location is a little nicer on the inside, but the same great service and food. I was surprised it wasn't that busy for a Friday, but my husband and I were there around 5:30pm. The restaurant was very clean, nice decor and open feeling. And college football was on a big screen tv, but in the background. Perfect! I love that they allow you to take it to go or take home leftovers. I've been to other places that were not all-you-can-eat and didn't allow you to take leftovers. I've never revisited those places. Mongolian BBQ's leftovers are so good the next day. They do have an AYCE option, but no leftovers from that. Either way it's a great value for the food you get. There was a wide variety of vegetables that looked and tasted very fresh and with the meat (thin sliced pork, beef and chicken) and seafood (shrimp and krab mix) offerings everything was very appetizing. As usual I hardly had enough room for the goodness that is the noodles. Also, they do give you a small bowl of white rice. It was good with all the extra juices from the sauce. *My husband usually goes for lunch and said they don't offer the seafood mix during their lunch hours* The hostess and waitress we had were very welcoming and friendly. This is a bit out of the way for us, but when I'm on that side of town I'll be sure to remember my great experience. My husband is lucky enough to work near here so he'll be a continued customer (bringing me his leftovers!) read more

The food was fresh and tasty and the staff was friendly. We go there whenever we're in town.

I've been a BIG fan of the Mongolian BBQ in St. George, Utah for many years. I've eaten there countless times over the past several years. I knew the same family or friends of the family operated some restaurants in Idaho too, but never had the opportunity to eat there until this last weekend. The formula for great Mongolian BBQ is easy -- LOTS of fresh vegetables and other fresh ingredients, several meat choices, and plenty of sauce! Pick what you want in your bowl and have the cook stir-fry it up. Make sure and tip your cook while you're waiting! This Mongolian BBQ location in Boise doesn't disappoint! It was most definitely fresh and most definitely delicious! Inside the restaurant was older looking but seemed more or less clean and well maintained. Staff was attentive and friendly. We ate here twice over the Memorial Day weekend and the food and service were excellent both times. My only compliant is that there isn't a Mongolian BBQ location in my hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. Please, please, pretty please open a location in Salt Lake City. I swear I would eat there all the time! read more

This place is great if you want a quick meal with lots of food. It's not amazing or anything but the food is tasty and the service is good. They have a large selection of fresh veggies, meat, and sauces. You build your own bowl so you can get a ton of food if you pile it on right. read more

This is a great place for a quick bite. Options were plentiful, so you can definitely go healthy. Food was done quickly and efficiently. Service was good also, and they will answer questions if you have any. We did the all you can eat option and did smaller bowls to sample different flavors. read more

This place is way better then the one on Overland. Sorry it just is. Definitely will be back again.

My boyfriend and I have a little tradition of coming here after we fly back into town. It's become something I really look forward to, and it's my first feeling of "home" after being gone for a while. The staff is always friendly, and the restaurant is pretty clean. We usually catch it when it's slow, which is an added bonus. The food - awesome. There are so many options and combinations, and for how much you get, it is cheap! The chefs are great and can offer recommendations on sauces and oils if needed. I always end up going home with leftovers. read more

Delicious! You choose your ingredients and there are lots of options. Numerous veggies and many different meat choices. You can also choose tofu. On top of that, they offer just about every sauce you can imagine (from sweet to spicy) and have a handy chart with suggested sauce mixtures. There is an option for all you can eat. I got that option the first time and definitely did not need it. The small bowl, stacked high, is probably enough for many adults. The meat is shaved a little too thin for my taste, but still delicious. read more

I served in the Navy for 15 years, traveled to several countries and have eaten Mongolian BBQ in many. I currently travel across the states and to Boise often. Although this is my first time at this location I will be back. I can't set this place apart from the rest. The food was fresh and good you pick the sauces so you can't really complain about the flavor. Two thumbs up in my opinion. Last note. The service was phenomenal. My glass was never empty. read more

This has to be one of my favorite lunch stops in Boise. In fact it is not uncommon for me to come here up to 2 times in a one week stay while here. The staff are friendly, the food is good (hell if it isn't it's mostly your fault since you are putting it all together yourself), and its quick. For $8-12 (incl tax and tip) you have plenty of food and they even serve you a bowl of rice in addition to what you have prepared in your own bowl. I personally got 2 meals out of my small bowl. It's nothing fancy, but maybe that is why I like it. Plus I have a nice meal and I am not in a rush and still get in and out in an hour. read more

If it's not good it's your own fault! ;-) All the fixins, three sizes of bowel, good selection of sauces and Dr Pepper to wash it down. $10 for lunch--and some serious eats! read more

This is my favorite of Boise's Mongolian Bbq restaurants. Great food, fair price, friendly long-time staff. Perfect for eating healthy!

I thought from the reviews this was going to be out of this world Mongolian, but alas it wasn't :( I think it's because I have been eating Hu Hot Mongolian for the past few years and well this just doesn't compare. It wasn't bad at all, but nothing special. We pribably won't go back. read more

Great for Picky Eaters because you create your own bowl. Fresh Food and Enormous Portions. Very tasty, I recommend putting more ladles of sauces then less to keep the dish moist. Be careful of putting too many jalepenos in your bowl as well. I have never been able to go back for seconds, so I usually get the mighty khan and have enough for another meal plus when I get home. Friendly people, great service. Fun restaurant because everyone gets exactly what they want. Did I mention Good for vegetarians. read more

This is one of my least favorite Mongolian BBQs. Normally, they're all pretty similar, but this one has really weird tofu (honestly they leave it swimming in water and it has such a strange texture), they tend to be more expensive than other Mongolian's and I really think their sauces are watered down. Best Mongolian in town is in the strip mall on Milwaukee and Fairview! read more

This is one of our favorites in Boise! You create your own meal so I f you aren't satisfied then it's your own fault. Prices extremely reasonable for what in get in your meal. Friendly staff and it is fun to watch the cooks put your meal together. read more
